St e e n VOL.XLL THE PROGRESS OF WAR SLOW. Paris Says Allied TroopsOffensiveandChecked Germans,But the Latter Make Advances. The French war office says the al- lied troops resumed the offensive two days ago;that the attack continues to make progress,though slowly,as it is a war of sieges.position ocen is fortified immediately. While the advance is slow,it is claim- ed.there are fresh local successes each day and the German forces hcve been checked.It is admitted,how- ~ever,that the German right has forc-ed the allies to yield,which would in- dicate’that notwithstanding repulsestheGermansaremakingprogress toward Paris.Supplementary defences around Paris are being rapidly pushed in an-ticipation of a possible invest:nent of the capital.It is reported that France is considering the advisability of moving the seat of government to Bordeaux. DROPPED:BOMBS IN PARIS. A German Aviator’s Sunday Work—French Lines Fall Back—British Loss is 6,000—The War Story. A dispatch sent from Paris Sunday says:“A German aviator flew over Paristhisafternoonand,dropped .five bombs,which fell in the most popu-lar quarter of the city.In one case two women were wounded.a “The aviator,who signed himselfLieutenantVonHissen,dropped manifestos on which was written: ‘The German army is at the gates of Paris;you can do nothing but eur- render.’”Another dispatch from Paris men- tions the dropping of a bomb but says no harm was done and that Par- is remains tranquil.A decree hasbeenissuedbythemilitarygovernor of Paris ordering all residents of the district within action of the city's de- fending forts to evacuate and destroy their houses within four days,and other preparations made for an en-trenched camp.Enormous stocks of food have been placed in the State warehouses for provisioning Paris.The Bois de Boulogne has been trans-formed into a vast pasture,filled with cows and sheep.The animals areguardedbyreserves.The beautiful surroundings.of ‘the Chateau of Ba- on _gatelle have given over entirely tosheep.The number of sheep pastur-ed in the parks exceeds 10,000.That the French lines are still fall-ing back before the German advancewasifdicatedinanofficialstatement issued by the French war office Sun-day,which says the progress of the German right wing has obliged theFrenchlefttoyieldground.After four days of desperate fight-ing the British army in France is rested,fitted and reinforced for the near great battle,according to an announcement Sunday by Lord Kitch- ener,Secretary of State for War,In a statement based on reports from Sir John French,commander of theBritishexpeditionaryforces,the Sec-retary says that the British,after struggling against tremendous odds,retired to a new line of denfense where they have not been molested since Thursday.Their casualties arebetween5,000 and 6,000.Since this fighting ceased the French on the right and left have brought the Ger-man attack to a standstill,it is de- clared.The condition and spirits of theBritishtroopsatthefrontarede- ectibed as excellent.and reinforde- ments have been sent up to more than fill the gaps created by the cas- talties.A dispatch to the London TimesfromAmiens,France,says that sinceMondaymorningoflastweekthe German advance has been one of al- most incredible rapidity,the Germans never giving the retreating British a moment’s rest.“The first great German effort has succeeded,”says the correspondent.“We have to face the fact that the British expedition- *ary force requires immediate and im- mense reinforcements.The _invest- ment of Paris cannot be banished from the field of possibility.” Desperate fighting continues along the Austrian frontier,says an official statement issued at St.Petersburt. “In East Prussia,”says the Russian war office,“the garrisons and for- tresses of Thorn and Graudenz (East of the Vistula)are taking part with&large number of siege guns.WeWavetaken3,000 prisoners in the op- erations cast of Lemberg (capital of Galicia.) “Near Podgerz (just south,of theVistula)the enemy.lost 3,000 men and we captured four guns,a num- ber of caissons of ammunitions and nine guns‘abandoned by the Aus-trians when they crossed the Zolo- kai.North of Tomacheff.we took 1,-000 prisoners and surrounded and de- feated the Hungarian Fifteenth Di- vision east of Tomacheff,entire reg- ithents surrendering. .“The enemy is making his prinei- hal efforts in the region of Lubin (in Russian Poland;95 miles southeast of Warsaw),where the fighting is fierce.”A ‘correspondent of the London ily Mail reports that

An official statement issued from London,describing the action be-tween the British arld German war- ships off Heligoland,mentioned on an- other-_page of The Landmark,says three German cruisers».were sunk;that only two of the enemy’s torpe- do boat destroyers were actually ob- served to sink,but most of the other 18 or 20 boats were well punished and only saved themselves by a scat- tered flight.The complements of the five German vessels known to have been sunk aggregated about 1,200 of-ficers and men.Of these 330.wererescuedbytheBritishships,300 ofthoserescuedbeingwounded,_.Theremainderofthecrewsrished,Twenty-nine men on the British shipswerekilledand88wounded.In England there has been strongdenunciationofthecontinuanceoffootball,cricket and other gameswhiletheBritisharmyisfightingandmoreménarerequitedtoreinforcethem,and particularly of young men watching matches while Secretary forWarKitcheneriscallingforrecruits.Field Marshal Lord Roberts referredthisinaspeechtoanéwbattalionofroyalFusiliersrecruitedfrom’busi-ness and professional men of London,He expressed his intense admiration for these-men,saying: “How different is your ‘action tothatofthemen.who.still can go onwith.their cricket and,football os iftheveryexistenceof|the .countrywerenotatstake.This is not thetimeto.play games,wholesome astheyaxeintimesoftipingpeace.Weareengagedinalifeanddeathstrug- ‘Addressing a meeting for thepurposeofobtainingrecruits,for theMarshallLordRein army,declared the country:was TASTED THE WOOD +ALCOHOL.

A bottle of alcohol has been kept in the pulpit stand of the church un- molested ever since the gas lights were installed three or four years ago.A more secure place for the bottle will hereafter be provided. MR.BROWN IS STANDING PAT. He Answers the Doubting Thomases Whe Insinute That There Was No Hold-Up at Kilby’s Gap. Mr.Sam Brown,whose story of his experiences at Kilby’s Gap,be- twoen Taylorsville and Wilkesboro, was told in The Landmark two weeks ago,makes answer to the doubting Thomases,one and several,and re- iterates his statements as to the hold-up.Referring to the criticism that he said nothing aboyt the occur- rence until he returned to Statesville, Mr.Brown says he told the first man he met after the incident,this being a Mr.Jenkins,a hardware salesman who travels out of Wilkesboro;he told Mr.Meadows,who lives in the vicinity of Kilby’s Gap,and three others,whose names he does notknow;that when he reached Wilkes- boro he told Mr.Gwyn,the cashier of the bank,the clerlg at the hotel, and others;and he.also.told.several people he met while returning from Wilkesboro to Statesville.So much for the publicity part. With reference to the sensitiveness of the Kilby’s Gap people,0 seem to think reflection is cast on them, Mr.Brown calls attention to the fectthathedidnotsaywhothepeoplewere,for the very good reason that hedidn’t know:If he had:known them he would have reported them to theofficersandaskedfortheirarrest.

It is fair to state that a short time before Mr.Brown retired from office the number of his deputies was in-creased by.appointments by the Dem- ocratic administration.Whether the increase was sufficient to account for the difference in number as stated by Mr.Holton we don’t know;but it is certain that the increase in ex-pense as a-result of these appoint- ments was not sufficient to account for the difference in the amount givenbyMr.Holton and the actual ex- os as ghown from the records. States accept. statement is neither intendedaS®criticism of Mr.Brown’s admin- istration,for he was an excellent offi- cial,nor as a defence of Mr.Watts,whose record speaks for itself,but to give the actual facts for public infor- mation.(That being so,it is only fair to state some of the reasons for the in- crease under Collector Watts.Three counties were transferred to his dis- trict and in the three counties were two stamp offices,the transfer thus increasing the number of his depu- ties by two.The collection of the in- come tax was added after Mr.Watts became collector.and on account of the income tax collections three of-fice deputies,a clerk and a field depu- ty,were added to his force.So it will be seen that seven employes were addéd as a result of increased terri- tory end the collection of the income tax.Of the 32 employes under Col- lector Brown two served outside the States of the 37 under Collector Watts seven are serving outside the State.Therefore,comparing thenumberofemployesinthedistrict at the time Mr.Wutts took chargeandthenumbernowinthedistrict, they are even. In this matter of the cost of the internal revenue colections,it is in- teresting to note that,aceording to the report of Commissioner Osborn, the cost of collecting the internal re?- enue for the fiscal year was approx- imately $15.17 per $1,000,or $1.52 per cent,The cost for the previous year,in which the collections were the largest they had been up to that time,the cost was $15.92 pcr $1,000,or 1.59 per,cent.It will be seen, therefore,that according to Commis- sioner Osborn’s figures,the cost ofcollectingtheinternalrevenueinthe country at large,was slightly de- this time. work in Iredell.

Some of the Puzzling Propositions Put Up te Unele Sam. Baltimore Sun. Some very interesting and deli- cate questions are coming to the front in connection with ‘the position which the United States _occupies toward the European_belligerents, As the only neutral world power, they are presenting to us many per- plexing points for consideration.Em-peror William addressed a note indi- reftly to the President some time ago virtually asking greater sym- pathy in this country for Germany and better understanding of her sit- uation and-of the causes which im- pelled her to take up arms.France came to us and requésted something more substantial—4a loan;Belgium appeals to us to protest in the name of humanity against the dropping of shells into Antwerp by Zeppelins; Mr.H.G.Wells fervently implores us not to send any grain or food sup- plies to Holland lest some of them should he sold across the border in- to Germany,and this erable that country to prolong the war;and now France protests against the purchase of German merchant vessels by our government because.that would in- crease Germany’s financial re- sources and if these vessels should carry food supplies to Germany,via Rotterdam,or otherwise,the French ambassador contends that we would be violating our neutrality by givingsolidaidandcomforttotheenemy of France. It will be thus be seen that while we are exempt from the evils of ac- tual war,we are sailing in very troubled waters.We may evade,ordeclinetoexpressanopinionaboutpointswhichwhollyconcernthebel-ligerents,but when it comes to ques-~ tions in which we ourselves are con- cerned we will be “up against”some puzzling propositions.The most practical,as well as one of the most difficult,is that raised by Mr.Wells, and in another form in the French protest against our purchase of Ger- man ships.We refused recently to allow France to negotiate a loan in this country on the ground that themoneywouldbevirtuallyacontribu- tion to her war chest and would be a violation of our duty as a neutral by adding this much to her fighting strength.If we buy these German ships,the $25,000,000 or $50,000,000 we pay for them wil!help Germany materially,and if we employ them to carry food to Rotterdam we shall be helping to feed the Kaiser’s army, We are not prepared to deny that there may not be some apparent in- consistency;at least,between our re- fusal to lend France money and our handing over to Germany $50,000,- 000 for ships that she.cannot use. Perhaps the similarity between theprincipleofthetwocasesmaybe more superficial than solid.But, without discussing such distinction as may exist betWeen them,it must be conceded that,so far as the effect is concerned,.the result would‘be the same.If we buy so many milliondollars’worth of bottled-up German ships,Germany profits to»that ex-| tent;and if any of them carry food| supplies to a port from which they|can be easily conveyed to Germany,| she profits that much more.

Bulletin State Board of Health. The United States Public Health Service sent an expert,Dr.A.D.Fos" ter,into North and South Carolina last fall to investigate the extent and source of trachoma,a disease of the eyes.This expert worked all winter and well into spring,visiting some 71 white schools and 13 colored schools in North Carolina.He examined éver 12,000 pupils.Only 33 cases of the disease were found in North Car- olina and one case in South Carolina. Of the 33 cases folnd in North Carolina,18 were found among 207 pupils examined at the Indian School at Cherokee,Swain county.The heaviest infection among the white was in Caldwell county,while light- er infections were found in Cherok~e and Mitchell counties.Only one ne- gro was found to have trachoma, That case was one of the pupils at the State School for the Blind at Raleigh.This case came from.Wil- son. Trachoma is a disease of the eyes and eyelids.It is usually contracted by using the same towel,soap or wash basin used by a person havingtrachoma.The disease is rather prev- alent among certain foreigners who come to this country.Recently it has been found to be quite prevalent in the mountainous parts of Ken- tucky;Tennessee,Virginia and West Virginia.Hence the investigation in North and South Carolina.Dr.Fos- ter’s conclusions regarding trachoma are: 1,That it exists to some extent in several isolated mountainous sec- tions of North Carolina. 2..That only in the Cherokee In- dian School had measures been taken to determine the presence of the dis- ease and control its spread.3.‘That foreign immigration play- ed litthe or no part in introducing trachoma here.,4.That the negro is practicallyfreefromthedisease. 6,That present cases should betreatedtopreventfurtherspreadofthedisease.

Within 32 Miles of the French Capital—Government Moved to Bordeaux—A Fight in the Air—The WarStory.‘ The German forces are,within 32 miles of Paris and the French gov- ernment has been moved to Bordeaux, 350 miles)away.‘There ic little information of the_progress-of the war except that theGermans‘arc nearing Paris.Turkey is mobilizing and wi!l prob-ably entet the war. (Reports from St.Petersburg give the official report of a battle lasting seven days,between the Russians and Austrians’around)Lemberg,capital of Galicia,in which the Russians were successful,forcing the Aus- trians to retreat and seizing heav- ily fortified positions.The Russians captured 150 gufis and the Austrians are said to have suffered enormouslosses.In this battle three full Aus- trian army corps and parts of two others were engaged.Russia ad- mits a serious defeat in East Prus- sia at«the hands of the Germans. In this ‘battle two Russian army corps were badly cut up and three gener and_a nuniber of staff -offi- cers were killed. Paris reposts a fight in the air over Paris Wednesday evening. Three German aeroplanes hovered over the capital and immediately two French machines were sent up to en- gage them.Meanwhile rifles and machine guns ‘mounted on__public buildings kept up a constant fire.By this means one of the German ma- chines became.separated from the others and the French aviators flew swiftly in its direction.The German opened fire,to which the Frenchmen replied vigorously. The engagement seemed to turn to the disadvantage of the German, who mounted speedily to a higher level and holding this position was saved from further attack.He final- ly disappeared.The other German aeroplanes also escaped the fire of the guns and after cireling about for a considerable time disappeared from -view.Japan has landed thousands of troops at the Chinese port of Lung- Kow,100 miles north of Tsing-Tau, and the German legation at Peking has protested to the Chinese forcign office this alleged infringe- ment of China’s neutrality. Notto be outdone by the reports “@f German atrocities in Belgium,Ber- lin reports horrors perpetrated by Russians in.East Prussia.In one case it is stated the Russians cut off the breasts of a mother and impaled her five children on a fence.It is also stated that German soldiers re- turring from Belgium have been cru- elly mutilated.The Berlin report re- fers to Paris and London as “lie fac- tories,”and continues:“Enormous extitement has been caused by the Belgians’attempt to induce the world with London and Paris,who are end- less liars,as accomplices in the belief that the German soldiers are authors of atrocities.” Eighty -Three Pupils in School For Feeble -Minded. The North Carolina School of tae Feeble -Minded,two miles from Kinston,is now filled to more than two-thirds of its eapacity,and no more boys will be taken into the in- stitution.Eighty -three children aré enrolled and the full capacity is 120.Only girls of the highest grade of the feeble -minded will be taken to fill out the number.

Practically every able-bodied man has been called to the army and thewomenandchildrenare-unable to-dothécultivating.“aoe When it is figured that the German reaching close to 3,000,000 tons,must be counted out of the market altogether;that Rus- sia,instead of producing over 2,000,- 000 tons,will be calling on the Unit- ‘éd States;that will not grow one-twentieth of her recular 2,000,000-ton .crop,nor France her 950,000 tons,it shows th« drain which will be placed on the su- gar grown in other countries. England alone will probably be so d that she will avoid a sugarHersupplywillcomemainly India,where a _produc- crop,ordinarily tuatsituak fami! from British. tion of 2,400,000 ton which is used in the various British possessions,the surplus going England,Scotland and Ireland.Java will also help,as the 1913 crop therewasover1,300,000 tons,and Great 3ritain will be able to obtain sup- plies frem.that island. On the other hand,it is a striking fact that only two weeks after the tart of the European war England called for sugar from the United States,this being the first demand that she made for outside foodstuffs. It is stated,however,that there is, a supply on hand in London and Liverpool that will be sufficient for all needs‘for two months.The same is generally tgue throughout Europe, }but at the end of that time the trou-} ble will begin.| Only a few days after the Euro-} pean war started the price of sugar} took’an enormous jump.With the}reduction in the sugar tariff alrcady| in foree and the fact that gar would be admitted free in 1916 thewholesalepricehaddroppedto°1-2} cents,the lowest figure for ycars, and the retail price was but 1 ccnt higher.Then,within a week,the high-water mark of 6.53 cents at} wholesale was reached,with further prospects for twice that within a few} weeks. Under ordinary circumstances the United States produces a little over half the sugar which is consumed within ts borders,the rema?oder, with the exception of about 100,000 tons,coming from Cuba.In speak- ing of the United States in this man- ner,Hawaii,Porto Rico and _the)|Philippine Islands are included,their| production being approximately 950,- 000 tons,as against the 800,000 tons which are produced on the mainlai.d 'Of this lest about 250,000 tons is| eane sugar,coming mainly from Louisiana,while the rest is made from the beets of the Middle West and Pacific coast.| It can be seen that the Cuban sup- |ply,the greater part of which ordi- |narily comes to this country,will be in demand from Europe,with the re-| jsult that domestic sugar must be re-|lied on to a great degree in the Unit-|;ed States.Unfortunately,as the re- sult of the cut in the sugar tariff,| under the-Underwood bill,Louisiana| has a smaller production this ycar than ever before,and the samc 15 true of the beet sugar mills in the Western States.This will be counter {balanced in some degree by the fact|that the imports from the Philip- pines are larger than before and that Hawaii will send in her usual 600,- 000 tons.

Negro Charged With Entering Mrs.Kennerly’s Room Held Without Bail—Evidence Against Him Cir-cumstantial—Preliminary Hear-ing at Mooresville.

About.midnight she was awakened by some one placing their hands on her shoulders.She was so badly frightened that.she could not speak for an instant.The hands then be- gan to move down her body and with a scream of terror she jumped from the bed.As she rose her hands came in contact with the head of a man, who was pushed from the bed as she leaped out.The man fled in one di- rection and she in another.It was a dark,rainy night and she could not get a plain view of the intruder,but she felt positive that he was a negro on account of the feel of his head. Rushing to her kitchen door Mrs. Kennerly said that she stood there for probably four or five minutes screaming for help,and when she re- ceived no response she left the house in her night clothes and started along the road for the home of Mr.Brice Kestler,which is a half mile or furth- er away.As she neared the home of Allison,who lives on the.Kennerly place only a short distance from the Kennerly home,she stumbled in the road and again screamed for help. Some one answered her and the next instant Allison stepped from the bushes beside the road,and present- ly his wife also appeared.Allison was clad in his night clothes and an overcoat and carried his gun and his wife.was in her night clothes.Both negroes were in their bare.feet.Mrs. Kennerly immediately told them her trouble and asked Allison to go to her home for her children.-Allison immediately started for the Kennerly home while Mrs.Kennerly and Alli- son’s wife waited where they were. As he neared the Kennerly house Al- lison called for matches to light the lamp.Mrs.Kennerly and the Allison woman secured matches from Ailli- son’s home and then went toward the Kennerly home to meet Allison.All three went into the Kennetly home together and woke the children.Ex- amination of Mrs,Kennerly’s room revealed that the window beside her bed had been raised and fastened up and Mrs.Kennerly’s clothes,which had been left on a chair near the win- dow,were on the floor.Qn the white shirt waist was the muddy track of a other tracks were plainly visible in the room,but on accountof the in- truder having made little or no noise when he ran actéss the room,Mrs. Kennerly is positive that he was bare- footed.: self and children Allison,who was still in his night clothes and over- coat,accompanied .Mrs.-Kennerly and the children to the home of Mr. Kestler.Mrs.Kenner] neighbor,a Mr.Daniels,to notify him of the trouble.errands for Mrs,Kenner!turned to the Kennerly.

Miss Ada Perry of Barium has gone to Brevard to attend the Bre- vard Sehool. Miss Mary Morrison left yesterday for the Southern Presbyterian Col- lege at.Red Springs. Mr.Bonner Knox of Hickory,for- merly of Statesville,entered David- son College last week. Mrs.Kennerly said that the negro had steed at the bedroom on a moon- light night to talk to Mr.Kennerly and could see into the room.On the afternoon before the house was en- tered Allison had come to the Ken- nerly well to get water,which was unusual,as he usually got water at a spring.At the same time,however, Allison had brought Mirs.Kennerly’s mail to.the house and was told by her to leave it on the well box. Sheriff Deaton and others told of having inevstigated the tracks about the Kennerly home the morning af- ter the house was entered.Barefoot tracks,apparently made while run- ning at high speed,were traced from near the Kennerly home along a path to within 2b/or 30 feet of Allison’s home..A!cireuit of the Allison.home failed to-show where they had gone beyond that point.Allison's foot was fitted in one of these tracks by the officers and the fit was perfect.The negro claimed that he made the tracks when he came back toward his house to get the matches,but the sheriff said the tracks were beyond the point where Mrs.Kennerly said she and Ajlison’s wife met him with the matehes.Mrs.Kennerly and Aj- lison were also unable to agree on the place where they met during Mrs. Kennerly’s flight from her home and there were other contradictory state- ments about the tracks.The negro had not been able to explain other circumstances to the satisfaction of the officers and for that reason,and for the further reason that the sher- iff feared for the negro’s safety on account of the feeling which had been aroused ‘against him,he was taken to jail. ,A negro boy.testified that Allison told him the morning after Mrs.Ken- nerly's experience that if he—Allison —could not prove that he was at home with his wife “they would try to put it on me.”A Mr.Dahiels testified that he had asked Mrs.Kennerly on the night of her experience,if she suspected Al- Hison and she said that she did not. There was no demonstration feeling inkt Allison in Mooresville Friday,gh the sentiment against him is known to be strong.Quite a crowd gathered about the automobile containing the negro,during the time it stood on the street just after the hearing,but the crowd was made up principally of negroes.

A number of them laid down their livesfor their country in the bap- tism of-fire and blood that desolated thes South.between the happy wed- ding day and 1865,The occasion was delightful in every way,one of the conditions of the hostess being that.none of the guests should talk about her ailments or her neighbors.

Some of the delegates to the meet- ing of the National Farmers’Union in Texas wanted to petition Congress| to pass a law to prohibit the grow- ing of cotton next season,or compell- ing the reduction of the crop by one- half,It has also been suggested that State Legislatures be called in ses- gion for that purpose.None of these drastic measures will be taken,but they are Cited to show the feeling of the urgent necessity for a great re- duction of the cotton acreage next year.At the same time farmers are being urged to plant big crops of grain and the necessity of growing an abundance of grain and feedstuff ig stressed.To grow an abundance| of bread and meat is good advice at all times,for foodstuff has been none too plentiful in the past.The in- crease is urged on the grourd that the European war will result in a great demand on this country for “foodstuff to make up the inevitable shortage in Europe as a result of the war.The reasoning appears to be sound and The Landmark passes it to its farmer readers for their con- sideration.

Replying to the request’of Repre- sentative Doremus (of ‘Michigan, chairman of the Democratic congres-sional committee,that.he-—makecampaigntourforhisparty,Presi-dent Wilson replied:“My dear Mr,Doremus? “T have read your létter of Sep- tember 1,with a keen appreciation of its importance.lt appeals to me as the leader of the party now in power with peculiar force and_per-suasiveness.The close of a very ex-' traordinary session of Congress is at hand,which has,I venture to say, been more fruitful in important leg- islation of “permanent usefulness tothecountrythananysessionofCon- gress within the memory of the ac-|tive public men of our generation. A.great constructive programme has been carried through for which the country long hag waited;and has beencarried.through with the approval and support of judicious men of all parties;and we have abundant rea- son to congratulate ourselves on the record that has been made during the busy.15 months we have devoted to our great legislative task.Cer- tainly in ordinary circumstances if we were free to disengage ourselvesforthepurpose,we would be war-ranted now in directing our’ener- gies to a great campaign in support) of an appeal to the country to give us the encouragement of its endorse-| ment at the autumn elections. “We could go to-the country with a very sincere appeal in which theretreetbe-nre~pretense..or.boast.of any |kind but a plain statement of thingsactuallyaccomplished,which ought to be,and I think wouldbe,entirely con- vincing.It is a record which.shows us at.peace with all the world;the questions which plagued business with doubt;and’uncertainty and irre- sponsible criticism out of the way, thoughtfully settled and disposed of; the apparent antagonism between government and business cleared away and brought to an end with the plain reckoning accomplished;the path for sure-footed adjustment clear ahead of us,prosperity certain to come by means which all can approve and applaud. “Moreover,there is a programme of another kind ahead of us to which it is inspiring to look forward—a pro- gramme free from debate except a to the best means by which to accom plish what all desire.The great ques- tions immediately ahead of us_are the building up of our merchant ma- tiistraat my mind mT surely won-by,is the performance of The Southern railway has recently added forty extra freight crews to handle coal shipments,just in one section.Small telegraph offices, heretofore closed at night,will now remain open for the full 24 hours,| ready to dispatch coal Arains to ‘the seaboard.

A Second Balaklava. The London Daily Mail’s corres- pondent behind the British lines de- scribes the charge of the Ninth Lan- cers,which occurred at an unnamed spot during the recent series of tac- tical retreats,as a second Balaklava. He says: “Terrible havoc has been caused in our ranks by shells from a battery of 11 German guns posted inside a for- est near the Belgian frontier. “It seemed impossible to silence their fire until the Ninth Lancers made their attempt,riding straight at the guns after debouching into the open and charging under a hai)of melinite and lyddite. “I have not been able to get relia- ble figures as to the distance they rode,but they reached their goal. Nothing could stop them.They reach- ed the guns,killed the gunners.and put the guns out of action.Then like their prototypes of Balaklava,they rode back.“On their return they fell in great- are many,and each man with a plan seems to think he has the right one. The problem will be solved in the main,however,by local action.It’s up.to the local people,farmers and mefchants and others, warehouse companies or otherwise provide for the storage of cotton,and make arrangements to obtain money on warehouse certificates.When these certificates are properly issued on,cotton safely stored and insured, the government will accept them from the banks for emergency cur- rency which will be issued to the f banks.In every community arrange- ments should be made to warehouse }aeotton and where accommodation can 4Xe “;Mhat the crop can be saved,But we be secured from the banks—where| '/the banks have the money or can get ‘.it to loan on cotton—it would seem that the of the !ent in the main on lo- nF government issued of emergency currency month of August.Many ore mi will be issued if called _for.It is stated that the banks of orth,fina can obtain about $7,- cotton is stored and certificates properly is- mements can doubtless ‘beFloans. le,the |RepublicantKernersville,has re-will practice law.at ‘hf success to organize | er numbers still from the attack of|other,German batterier,posted at |vantage points around the valley.” |Mr.Henkel’s Horse Killed By Light- |ning.

There was a very severe thunder and lightning storm here Wednesday afternoon,about 1 o’clock.Mr.Luke Nelson,foreman of the improvement work on the Green Park property,| was driving a horse and the storm caught him on the turnpike between Green Park and the Blowing Rock hotel.The lightning struck a tree on the lower side of the road,torethattopieces,leaped to\the telephone wires crossing the road at that point, and Mr.Nelson being under the wire to the best ways of doing them. ‘J believe that ways can be found to do these things readily enough if| the country will give us its generous| support and trust us to do them;and|it would have been a genuine pleas ure to me to ask to be given again} |colleagues such as I have had in the two houses of Congress during thepresentmemorablesession.I trust} there will me many occasions on}which I may have the privilege of calling the attention of my fellow countrymen to the fine and unselfish service rendered by the present Rep- resentatives,ready at all times to re- spond to any appeal that spoke con, vincingly of the public welfare. “But in view of an unlooked forinternationalsituationourdutyhas| taken on an unexpected aspect.Every|patriotic man now ought to ‘stay on! his job’until the crisis is passed and}ought to stay where his job can be} best done.We ought to do whatever| is necessary to keep us in close and| active concert in order to relieve in| every possible way the stress and strain put upon our people during the continuance of the present ex- traordinary conditions.My job,I know now,can be done best only if I devote my whole thought and atten- tion to it and think of nothing but the duties of the hour.I am not at liberty and shall not be,so far as Icannowsee,to run away from thosedutiestoundertakeanykindofpo- litical canvass. “In the present emergency I amkeenlyawareofthetwo-fold respon- sibility I am _called upon to_dis- charge;the responsibility which de- volves upon me as President of the United States and the responsibility under which I am laid as leader of a great political party.Of course,thewholecountrywillexpectofmeand my own conscience will exact of me that I think first of my duties as President.The labors of Congress have a natural and customary limit: the work of the houses can be and will be finished;Congress can ad-journ.But the President,especial-ly in times like these,cannot turn away from his official work even for a little while.Too much depends on his keeping all the threads of what is occurring in his hands. “I therefore have reached the con- clusion that I cannot in any way or sense take an active part in the ap- proaching campaign;that I-must re- | | at the time,it left the wires and|flashed on the horse.Mr.Nelson |was stunned and knocked from the| buggy.He was not seriously hurt.| When he was able to arise he found! the horse dead.There was not a |scratch on the animal.It was a fine! |horse,and had been purchased by Mr.) ro V.Henkel,an “hour before,from!

Three Million Men Engaged—TheTideSeemstoFavortheAlliesBut the Battle is Undecided. What is called the crucial battle of the war is in progress extending over a front of nearly 100 miles.It is re- ported that the Germans have been driven back all along the line.Prob- ably the’fiercest struggle is against the French center,between Rheims and Verdun,while theBritish army:is contesting the second hard fought en- gagement against the German right. The Germans are believed to be still attacking the French right from Ver- dun to Nancy. ‘Lesser fighting is in progress in Al- sece,from which province the Ger- mans appear to have drawn away part of their army,and the French The great battle (BieGerman,Westra armies hove haem Sighting almost continuously for26daysanduntilthelastaraskof the campaign,on the offensive.From comes the news that 60,000 German reinforcements are marching South.These troops may have an effect on the tide of battle,but there is reason to believe the allied armies also are receiving a counterbalancing accession of strength.The Germans seem to be concentrating their strength against the main French front,The English Parliament has voted to increase the army to the unpre- cedented strength of 1,400,000 men. Washington is advised that peace will.not be considered until Germany is decisively beaten. ***eThewarreportsof the last few days show success for the allied atmies against the Germans.The battles seem to be the preliminaries of a great battle extending from Medux,northeast of Paris,to the Fortress of Verdun,about 200 miles may continue for farther east. The.Germans,who have brought reinforcements,strike at theleftandcenterbetweenMont- mirail to Vitry-Le-Francois,a front af from 50 to 60 miles,but each time have been driven back,The al- lied armies have the advantage of od by theand the Germans are ham- ‘whch +sami <the country y must advance. “ie the east the Germans so far have failed in their attempts to break across the rivers and “through the hills of Argonne between Vitry-Le- Francois and Verdun on the right wing of the allies.According to French reports there has been no ac- tion against the Grand Couronne of Nancy and in the Vosges ‘and Alsace the situation remains unchanged. All this favorable news has cheer- ed the allies,but military critics warn the public that the battle has not been won and that there prob- ably will be a week or more fighting before a decision is reached. The Austrians and Russians ure still battling in Galicia and although Russian official circles are silent,re- rts from Romie,which generally ee ve been accurate,indicate that the /-4 Russians are making progress F --ggainst General Auffenberg’s army, ©which being supported by Ger- mans. There is stil!a pause in the opera- tions in Bast Prussia,doubtless due to a paucity of troops on the part of Riissia,which always has had diffi- in transporting troops west- ward.Besides,the defeat they suf- fered in the fighting between August 21 and August 27 may temporarily have taken the sting out of their at- tacks. India is sending 70,000 troops to the British army. They include the army of occupa- tion and the native forces.The lat- ter are to be commanded by their ces and chiefs.Besides _this, ia is to pay the cost of trans- portation of her troops to Europe and the Indian princes are sending rich to the war funds being raised ii their own country and England. The dominions and the colonies have placed their ships,men and money at the disposal of the home govern- ment so'that the whole forces of the «empire have been recruited against er enemy.The report that a great Russian force.had gone to join the allies in France seems to have risen from the fact that the Russian reservists from England,the United States and other countries,who could not get to their own country,joined the French army. aubergey a French fortress,has fallen into the hands of the Germans, and according to the report the Ger- mans took 40,000 prisoners and 400 guns.'' Reports come from _,Bordeaux, France,that the.British army has crossed the river Marne and that the Germans have fallefi back 25 miles. [Efforts of the Germans to break the French lines on the Ourcq river are officially reported to have failed, Seemingly the Germans are short of ammunition at the front and are hav- ing difficulties in ptovisioning,The *h War Department officially unces that “on the whole the Gi ns appear to be beginning a movement of retreat.” The Russian and Austrian armiesonoppose t is each‘other in a=out engagement in theRussialand.An are taking advantage of this opening.|‘ GINNERS WILL STORE COTTON. 4 teMr.Conger Will Pa Customers Ten Cents a Pow ns to Help theLocalCottonSituation. Attempts are being made all overtheSouthtoprovidewaysandmeanstopreventthesacrificeofthecotton crop,and various plans have been adopted in various.localities.The storage plan seems to offer the best solution,where arrangments can be made for it,and the arrangements will have to be perfected largely by local efforts in cotton market towns. Alive to the needs of the situa- tion,the Statesville ‘ginners have planned to help their customers store cotton.Mr.L.B.Britol advertiscs today that he hag rented a warehouse and bonded it in a strong company; that he will store cotton,give a re- ceipt for it covering insurance and all expenses,at a small charge per month.These receipts will be avail- able as collateral at the banks,Mr. Bristol says,the banks having assur- éd him they will make as liberal ad- vance as possible. The Maiden Ginning Company ad- vertised inthe last issue of Fhe-Land- mark that Mr.N.B.Mills had a new warehouse at their gin with a ca- pacity of 2,000 bales;that he will store cotton ginned at that plant for as"little cost as possible,including insurance,“thus enabling you to hold cotton for higher prices and at the same time borrow money on it.” At some points in the State mer- chants who have furnished supplies for farmers have offered to allow their customers 10 cents a pound for eotton on account.This plan has been highly commended.Mr.Fred Conger of Statesville offers to allow his customers 10 cents a pound for all cotton delivered to him by Novem- ber 1,and in addition he will allow any advantgge of the rise in price by January 1.That is to say,if cotton goes above 10 cents by that time Mr. Conger will pay the difference. The offers mentioned will doubticss take care of considerable local cotton. Another plan that seems to be grow- ing in popularity in this and other eotton States is to urge everybody who can spare the price of a bale of cotten to buy a bale at 10 cents a pound and hold it for a higher price. With the right sort of boosting mcny thousand bales of cotton could be held off the market in this way. The meeting in the interest of cot- ton,to be held at the court housein Statesville next Tuesday at 11 o'clock, will doubtless recommend some plans to help the local situation. Directors of the State Meeting of Hospital. The regular quarterly meeting of the board of directors of the State Hospital at Morganton was.held at the Hbspital Wednesday,all the members of the board being present. Routine business was tran F The report of the superintendent shows there were remaining on the rolls of the Hospital May 31st last, 602 men and 819 women,a total of 1421.Forty-five were admitted dur- ing the period—19 men and 26 wo- men.The number discharged was 121—462 men and 59 women;17 died, &men and 9 women.Remaining on the rolls August 31,1,328 patients— 551 men and 777 women.It should be explained that the difference be- tween the admissions and the dis- charges and deaths is due to the re- turn of many ‘patients discharged on probation.These with the admissions keep the institution filled to the limit at all times.Less than half of those applying can be admitted.Work on two new buildings is proceeding sat- isfactorily and it is hoped by the end of the year to have additional room for about 160 people,which will re- Ijevey the present stress,but orily temporarily. President Wilson has received a personal cablegram from Emperor William of Germany,protesting against the use’by the allied army of dum-dum bullets and the participa- tion in the war ‘by civilians of Bel- gium.The message also expressed the German Emperor’s deep regret at the destruction of the Belgian city of Louvain. —jThe Scout says Mr.W.L.Mathe- son of the vicinity of .Mooresville,a member of the board of Iredell com- missioners and one of the Democratic nominees for commissioner,has de-cided to return to ‘Taylorsville,his former home,to live.~ —iA growing’plant in a handsome ‘urn has taken the place of the goodsboxinthecenterofthesquare,as asigntovehiclestodrivetotheright.That’s much better and it is doubtless the good influence,direct.or indirect, of the Civic League.. —Beginning Monday the evening train from Charlotte,No,24,which now arrives in Statesville at 9:10, will arrive about 8:80.

BUILDING AND LOAN GROWTH. North Carolina Ahead of Other States,Says Commissioner Young. Insurance Commissioner James R. Young has made his report to Gov- ernor Craig showing such growth among the building and loan associ- ations as causes the commissioner to claim priority for North Carolina. “The present report,”says Mr. Young,“shows for the busipess of 1913,188 associations with assets of $11,071,158.99 with $10,707,101.24 loaned out,and receipts during the year of $7,756,599.87.This is a very remarkable showing—in fact,second to-that of no State—and very grati- fying when it is known that the busi- ness of the building and loan associ- ations is.not one,that accumulates money to be held,but is continually not only receiving money but paying out the same en matured shares.” In eight years the insurance de- partment has seen this association in North Carolina grow from 67 in- dividual bodies with $4,352.88 in as- sets to 188 associations with $11,- 071,158...These years are 1906 and 1918,inclusive.What is better,this report shows $13,281,331 paid back to the shareholders in North Caroli- na,a difference of $2,209,827 in fa- vor of the stockholders.The eleven million and seventy-one thousand had earned nearly two and a quarter mil- lions, A feature of the report is”the amount which is loaned out for homes.In 1904 there were 41 asso- cations with only $2,542,988.51 as- sets,but $2,427,065.65 was loaned for homes.Last year with $11,071,- 158.99 assets,$10,707,101.24 was loaned out.: Mr.Young recommends the build- ing and loan plan to the farmers as a sound rural credit expedient.

During these exciting days,when the Germans are reported victorious along the northern borders of France and the history of 1870 to a greater or less extent is being re-enacted,the French peasants in the outlying departments are as ignorant of the situation,almost,as if they were in the heart of Africa.

The peasants are clamoring for au- thentic word of what is happening. 6o far the war officials have done nothing in answer to the rural pleas. save to discourage the pessimism of the dlarmists who are spreading ex- aggerated report of German suc- cesses in the north.The officials are all desirous that no attention.shallbepaidtothecalamityhowlerswho are frightening people everywhere with their crazy stories of Germany’simminententryintothecapital.

EARLY MORNING TRAIN IS OFF. Special Train Between Mooresville and Statesville Discontinued. The early morning train Service, which was inaugurated between Statesville and Mooresville six or seven weeks ago,was discontinued Saturday.The new train came to Statesville from Mooresville at 7.40, retnained here ten minutes and then returned to Mooresville,being the same train which makes a trip from Mooresville to Winston-Salem and returm each day.The railroad peo- ple claim that although the new train made connections at Mooresville for Winston-Salem and Charlotte,and at the same time gave an early train to Statesville,it was not patronized, ofly an average of seven passengers a day being hauled during the time the new service was in operation.It was a losing proposition for the rail- road onothis basis. Effective last night,the schedule of the night train from Charlotte, whieh has been arriving in States- ville at 9.10,has been changed to the ald sehedule,which puts it here at 8:35.¢ By means of special service on the early morning train between Moores- ville ‘and Statesville The Landmark was sent to subscribers between Statesville and Mooresville,to Mooresville and to points between Mooresville.and Winston-Salem.The paperg@,reached Troutman,Moores- ville and Mt.Ulla in time to get out on the roral routes the same day. The abolition of this train service means,that papers will not get out on the rtiral routes until next day— the céndition that existed before the train was put on.The new train was a great.convenience to The Land- mark’s.subsctibers on these rural routeg:and the change to the former system is miuch regretted.But inas- muck as The Landmark is unable to control the ‘train service the change cannot be helped.

The great pity of the whole situa- ~-tion-is thatthe majority of the ten=|rency.available,-the-department-stat-| “ant class,who have grown a cotton crop to pay for supplies already con- sumed,will be compelled to sacrifice \‘the crop at the prevailing low price, 'despite all the holding schemes and ‘other schemes devised.That is to say, the people who need help most will, in the main,get little help,except in| cases where their creditors are gen- erous.

The charge made by the merchants and farmers badly in need of themoney,and State bankers who must depend on their correspondent na- tional banks for their share,was that the bankers ‘are not drawing the money they are entitled to,dre not loaning it to those in need,and are securing at 3 per cent.from the gov- ernment only in such sums as theyneedtopayoffloanstheymadewith the New York banks at 5 and 6 per cent.

Styles;or if he must have a name in full he could write it John or Jo.or whatever the J stands for.But Scroop is in evidence all.the time and it is evident the man fancies making that name prominent.Well, that’s his right;and there’s no ac- counting for tastes..

We take it that the initiation of the new men did not include hazing and that that form of.barbarism,which so,long disgraced our educational in- stitutions,has passed.It is amaz- ing,when we look back at it now, how long the system was tolerated, excused and defended,and notwith- standing it was criminal and utterly Ynexcusable,a life had to be sacri- ficed at the University before the managers of our educational institu- tions were arouscd to the seriousness of the situation.It is a cause for gratitude that the days of tolerated hoodlumism in our schools seems to The enrollment at the A.an College in Raleigh this year show a considerable gain in the number o young men entering for a four-year epurse in agriculture.The figures for the first week show that 230 hfve been enrolled as agricultural students,22 of this number being in the senior class and 93 in the fresh- man.There are also at the institu- tion a number of graduates of other entific work in agriculture.This is a gratifying showing and it means that the importance and the value of agricultural training is being rec- ognized and that this most impor- tant branch of ‘industry will soon reach the position its importance justifies.When the A.and M.Col- lege was first organized the agricul- tural part of it was a sort of joke.

MORE PEACE TREATIES PASS. Uncle Sam Will Soon Have Peace Treaties With the Entire World. In the midst of the European war Great Britain,France,Spain China have agreed to sign peace com- with the United States.One effect of the new com- mission would be to prevent the Unit- ed States from being drawn sudden- ly into the conflict. Germany,Russia and Japan have signified their acceptance of the prin- ciple of these treaties though nego-! tiations have not advanced to the point of drafting convention.Similar agreements with Turkey and Greece are almost ready for signature. The first four treaties are ready for signature.They are regarded by President Wilson and _Secretary Bryan as of far reaching importance, practically safeguarding the United States from being drawn into the present conflict over any question of neutrality or other controversy. Their negotiation was begun,how- ever,before the European war broke. With the Signing of treaties with Great Britain,France,Spain and China,the number of pacts of this kind negotiated by Secretary Bryan will number 26.Nineteen have been ratified by the Senate comprising the principal countries of Central and.South America,Den- mark,.Norway,Switzerland,Portu- gal,Italy and the Netherlends. Secretary Bryan hopes to have thir- ty treaties ratified by Christmas, which he believes will assure the peace of the United States with the entire world. The treaties provide that all dis- putes shall,after diplomatic methods of adjustment have failed,be referredforinvestigationtothepermanent international commission and»no de- claration of war shall be made dur- ing the investigation.The report of the commission is to be completed within one year.Although the con- tracting parties.reserve the right to act independently after the commis- sion reports,the administration be- lieves a year’s time will have the ef- fect of “sober second thought”on all nations and prevent an outbreak in the precipitate’manner in which it;for utterances are often attribut-|™ ed to men—public men especially—|Solomon el } The proprietors of the Southern |5, irk |who holds TheOld StandardSETACARR a RAT ae"oe ~W,in One Day, 1 Europe has just plunged itself intoar.EE ’s Injunction Did Not Apply to ton, Monroe Enquirer.‘ “He that withholdeth corn,theeopleshallcursehim;but blessingsaplacewhichhas|shall be u :A;|»upon the head of him that bad reputation,were seljeth it,”said Solomon,.But,dear-|ly beloved,Solomon said “nary a |word”about holding cotton,and hehiscottonfor‘higher prices,and is able to do so,can snap|his fingers in the face of the idiotclosed,to|who wants to cuss him for holding on.to Oi liaise |OnlyOne“BROMO QUININE” aeadworksoffcold. fall equitably on all.In 1897 the Re-| uation in the banks it would not write| |line of communication.It claims to}}be pushing|forces,composed for the most part |,of reservists,toward the southeast.| |sider the position and | THE CO ;a foee iesFormerlythe,PerwaedNew thecrmatienei?War Brings —Transf:German Armies RetreatingSeriousCondition.

General Pau got possession of the| hills north of Sezanne,from which| his artillery could command the val-| ley down which the Germans would necessarily advance on their from Chalons.It was for the possession of these|hills that the French fought hard} early in the battle and it was here | that daily a fight jway| eceurred which} first went in favor of one side andthentheother.It is -belicved that this retirement into the hills west of Bitry-Le-Francois was made to enable General von Moltke and the German general staff to plan some other Wieéans or way of breaking) through the French line.} Although the Germans have had}to send some of their best troops| back to Prussia to meet the Russinrt| advance,it is not for a moment)thought that there wil]be any long pause in their efforts to beat .the!

This report comés from Berlin: “Headquarters on Thursday in its first.official report says that in a battle east of Paris the Germans held their own in a heavy two-days’ fight against superior forces attack- ing between Meatx,Montmirail and from the direction of Paris.We captured 50 guns and several thou- sands prisoners but retired the flank when the advance of the strong hos-' tile columns was reported.The en- emy failed to pursue.” An idea of how the Germans were harassed by artillery fire during their retreat,says a dispatch from Paris,was obtained on a visit to the fields near Meaux,the scebe of a se- vere fight Thursday.The German in- fantry had taken a position in a sunk- en road on either side of which.were stretched,in extended lines,‘hum- mocks,sotie of them natdral and some the work of German soldiers.

Government Can’t Give Further Help. Washington Dispatch. After long consideration Federal| Officials .are..conminced.the.covernment+ can take no further steps to aid cot- ton producers to meet unusual condi- tions caused by the European ,war.| The Treasury Department has an- nounced its determination to accept warchouse receipts as a basis for ad- ditional national bank currency but friends of a plan for valorization of the cotton crop have not succeeded in convincing government officials of its desirability. Officials who have studied the situ- ation feel that any remedy to be ta- ken lies in the cotton men themselves and in the State Legislature.Some of these students believed valoriza- tion of a part of the present crop by the cotton-producing States is entire- ly feasible and would prove helpful. The idea is held here among govern- ment experts ¥lso that State Legis- where necessary should pass legislation to limit the crop next year and for succeeding years if desired. It was pointed out that further Federal measures to aid the cotton men might bring down on the govern- ment a demand from other sections similar assistance.Those fa- miliar with conditions in the South say it has been demonstrated for years that a reduction in the amount; latures for of the crop would werk no hardship,|f but be to the advantage of the pro- ducers.Past efforts to insure such a reduction have failed and the chiefhopenowisinlegislationwhich would tax over-production.

Each side cleims a slight advan- tagé and no more.It is known only that.tho Ger-nan retreat has been turned into a stubborn resistance.

Halted in Their Retreat to Give Bat-tle—The Line of Battle "Phe German afmy,which tess thatr &fortnight ago was at the “gates 6f Paris”and the right wing of which then extended southeast of ‘the French capital,Wednesday night was dtawn up on almost a straight line, extending from the neighborhood ofNéyoninthewest,to Boisferges on thé Muese,north of Verdun,with itsleftrestingontheGermanfortress of Metz.Thus the right wing at least has gone back mort than 70 miles in two weeks,while the rest of the armyalsohashadtoretirebeforethe whole could find ground on which to make another stand against the ad- vanée of the allies.There seems little doubt that the Gérmans intend to give battle on thisline;with the river Aisne in front of their right,the hills of Rheims fac- irig their center and the mountains atid forest of Argonne on their left.They went back steadily before the Fretch and English armies,fightingonlyrearguardactionsuntiltheir in command of General vonKiuek,got across the Aigne.Thentheyturned”end.delivered several¢ottiter-attacks which,however,ac-cording to British official reports,were repulsed,the Germans Jeay-200 prisoners in the hands of the counter-attacks doubfless were éred in the hope of giv- ing the troops of the right @jnc.ex-hausted by the long advance follow- ed by a:retreat almost as.long,an opportunity to rest and prepare posi- tions from which they could resist at-tacks from the allies and in which they could await reinforcements be-fore taking up the offensive again: The Germans are in the hilly coun- try around Noyon,on the plateau north of Vic-Sur-Aisne and Soissons, and north of Rheims,where they are digging strong entrenchments.and re- ceiving reinforcements.But even here,their right wing,which up to the present has borne the brunt of the fighting and the retreat,is not al- together safe,for the French army operating from Amiens clings to its flank,while the British and French forces continue to press in front. It is-essential however that they should hold their positions,for they cover the linés of retreat to the north. which would be the only way out if defeat should be their lot.That they realize this is shown by the fact that they have ‘been contesting every foot of the ground with the allied armies the last two days that both sides have suffered heavily. Loss Not Estimated. Neither side has attempted to es- timate its losses in killed,wounded and captured during the battle of the Marne,but they must-have been enormous and doubtless will be a blow to all the countries concerned when they are disclosed. Many German prisoners have fal- len into the hands of the British and $0 great a number of prisoners and stragglers have been taken by the French that the minister of war re- fuses to)make an estimate,for fear of being accused of exaggeration. The losses in captured all can stand, but it is the number of dead and wounded seattered thromegh the field from the Marne to Aisne thaz it is feared will be staggering. ‘Firemen from.Paris have been scnt to carry out sanitary measures on the battlefield and motorcars with doctors have left London and ‘*tis to ‘sentch for atiy wounded tat might have been overlooked by the army ambulance corps.It is known that many wounded are being cared for by peasants in their cottages.

Mr.Jas.E.°Tharpe,who is respon-sible’for the urn and palm which adorn the center of the public square,has become very much:interested in beautifying the square and is advo- cating that the-Confederate imonu-ment be moved from the court houselawntothesquare.It is argued by Mr.Tharpe and*those who agreewithhimthatthemonumentwill soon be entirely obstructed fromviewbythetreesonthecourthouse Jawn,ard that on account:of theerectionofthenewbankbuildingit is now visible only from a_short space on Center street.Mr.Tharpe says that’practicallyeverypersontowhomhehasmen- tioned the matter of moving themonumenthasfayoredthatorthe erection of a monument,fountain orsomethingofthekindonthesquaretobeautifythespotanddesignate|it_as..the public.square...“The prin- cipal objection to placing the mon-ument on the square,”says Mr. Tharpe,“is that it will take up toomuchroomandthusobstructtraffic.While in New York and BaltimorerecentlyImeasuredthestreetsand monuments in the squares there andfoundthatwiththeConfederatemon- ument in our square we would have as much room for street car lines and general traffic as they have in these large cities.” When the Confederate monument was erected there was sharp division among the Daughters of the Confed- eracy as to its location.Some want- ed it on the square and others want- ed it on the court house lawn,whereitwasplaced.The division over the location was somewhat bitter and an attempt to remove it’might revive the antagonism.But The Landmark agrees with Mr.Tharpe that some sort of a marker in the square ¢ould be made to add to the attractiveness of the spot.

The meeting was not largely at- tended and the great majority pres- ent were farmers.It was called to order at 11 o’clock by Mr.W,,B.Gib- son,who explained that the county Meetings were called by Dr.Alexan- der,president of the State Farmers’Union,at the request of Gov.Craig; that not enough time was allowed:te work up interest‘in the meeting and it was then proposed to hold the Ire-dell meeting at a later date;but af-ter the call was published it was de-cided to hold it on this date.Mr. Gibson spoke briefly of the purpose the call;saying that the +~ c inthe price.of cuttousgis tt he blamed on any individual ; but was the result of the European war;that it is our duty to do all we can to help the local situation,as our dependence is on our own efforts. Mr.J.M.Robertson of Cool Spring township was elected chairman of the meeting and Messrs.F.B.Bunch and R.R.Clark of Statesville secre- taries.t Mr.E.S.Millsaps,discussing the situation,said the cotton problem is not one for the South alone brit for the whole country,as cotton is the great crop that brings the balance of trade in our favor.Marketed in the usual Way,the value of the cotton crop Will be cut in half.The aver- age value last year was $68 per bale and the ¢rop was worth about a bil- lion dollars.To cut that in half means @ great loss.In Iredell coun- ty last year the crop of 15,000 bales at $68 per bale was worth $1.020,000. To cut that in half every business and individual will feel it.Saying that our people are not responsible for the condition,Mr.Millsaps quot- ed from the census rerort,published in an@thet column of The Landmark, which shows that more cotton has been imported the past month than was exported.The propositiqn is one for every man.The farmets should held all the cotton they can. The banks and business men can’t do it al The buy-a-bale plan,cotton on acedunt at 10 cents,warehousing —all will help.The banks will do their part if we do ours.’The ‘banks are the best friends the farmers have.Mr.Millsaps closed by stress- in the importance of growing more foodstuff and feed and less cotton, The farmer who grows his own food and feed is always able to weather adverse storms.

If the plans proposed are pushed as far as they can be and there is co-operative effort in carrying them| out,the problem will be solved for Iredell.In the first place every farm- Ber wito can do sais expootesAo carry conditions ae-a result of this own cotton as long as he can,ar-| ngine his obligations,if).he has|aoei|if 500.fay.to the satisfaction of his ered |enaons of $10 to § 3 ||itors;and as the business men who | have accounts against farmers will| doubtless extend the time where their| ‘own obligations will permit,take | totton on account or help arrange the| matter to mutual advantage.Soa warehousing system has been in-| ,augurated and the banks in the coun-| ‘ty will of course advance as much | money as they can on the warehouse | receipts. Some cotton will have to be soldj| and to keep up the price the buy-a-| bale plan is urged.This plan has be-| come very popular and is being push-| ed over a good portion of the coun-| ~'try,outside the cotton belt as well! as in it.Ai New York concern has| Jssued a circular commending the| movement;in which it is declared, t “every pétkon with public spirit) his heatt and ‘the price of one or more bales of cotton to spare,owes to the whole country to buy.one.or Balesof cotton.”In addition .the purchase is recommended as a) safe investment,as the cost of on. age and insurance is small.In our *State the commercial organiza- heap maby towns are pushing this plan,even in towns outside the cot- ton belt,and if the movement be- eames as popular as it promises to be,it will help materially to solve the problem.If the commercial organ- izations in Mooresville and Statesville will boost the buy-a-bale plan,as requested by the meeting Tuesday, they will render a distinct service to the towns as well as the county.Let *all who can buy a bale and help on the cause. pe me cence a 2Itappearstobesettledthatitis useless to look to the Federalgovern- .,ment for further help in “the-¢otton *situation.The government has gone %as far as it is going in agreeing to *take warehouse receipts as a basis 'for emergency currency.Members of Congress from the cotton growing ®States would like to go farther,but the other members of Congress also “have interests at home and they can-/| not see that cotton should be further| ¢fayored.It is useless,therefore,te |suggest plans that require aid from the Federal government.The State +governments of the cotton States must )take the matter in hand if any furth-| i er government aid is to be extended.| A meeting of Governors and repre-s his life,at least,Mr.Holton is ren- |dering good service. “South Carolina has poor pros- pects for football,”says a newspaper rheadline.Let something good be |said “for South Carolina.The’Pal- |metto State would enjoy a distinction worth while if it had no football at ||———————|LIVE ITEMS OF STATE NEWS, |Accidents,Crimes and Incidents ofLifeintheOldNorthState. |The State Sunday School Aissocia-ition met in Winston-Salent Tuesdayjnight.The association represents |8,585 ‘organized Sunda schools with|67,892.officers.and ers and.639,.|885,pupils enrolled.

Stony Point,Sep§.17—For two months a factional war has been |waging in the Beckham school di trict,which embraces territory -north of the Stony Point district,extending to the South Yadkin river.Som« time ago they decided to sell the old school building and erect a new one. No sooner was this done than a clam- or was raised for the selection of a site for the new building. The old building was almost cen- trally located and «apparently the most convenient location in the dis-trict.But some of the patrons al- ieged that it was too convenient,to some and discriminated againsc oth- ers.As many as three different lo- cations have been selected,but noagreementcouldbereached,and this week the county surveyor ‘was called in and ran out the district,and this may end the struggle. Candidates are numerous in Alex- ander and as the.vote’is gencrally close in the county,the best t:lkers may win out, Mrs.Anna Barber Harris left Tues day morning on an extended visit to relatives at Parberville,near [fort Mill,8:C.Many houses in this place are hav ing lights installed under the new system.

Congress has appropriated $1,089,-||409,777.26 for the support of the Fed-|eral government and other govern- }mental purposes for the fiscal year lending June 30,1915,according to a |statement of Chairman J.J.Fitager-jald of the House appropriations com- |mittee of Congress, |This sum is $31,800,000 larger than‘the appropriations for the last fiseal;year and does not include the $30,- |000,000,more or less,for rivers and |harbors,which is hanging fire in the |Senate. Chairman Fitzgerald,in comment-ing on the size of the appropriation|bills,says they clearly indicate that |greater burdens,heretofore held sa- lered by the States and other locali- i ties,are being shifted on the Federal|‘Treasury.The demands -for-Federal|funds,he says,are coming from the |four corners of the nation.“We are living in a peculiar era,” said Mr.Fitzgerald.“HeretoforeStatesandlocalitieshavebeenjeal- ous of their rights and powers and the intrusion of the Federal.govern- |ment and of Federal agents had been |universally resented and vigorously |resisted.Lately,however,there seems to haVe been created a new and lan entirely different political atmos- |phere.Instead of resisting the ex- |tension “and enlargement of the ae- |tivitics of the Fedcral government,ithey seem to be cverywhere welcom- jed.It is rarely that any one appears |to realize that the Federal Treasury is replenished only by taxes collected \from the people. “Fron every section of theCountry, from every business and -industry, }frgm the capitalist and the wage- earner,flow incessant démands.that the powers of the Federal govern- ment be enlarged,that ite activi- ties be extended,that its agents be empowered to invade fields ‘never contemplated by the founders of the government;and these demands are based chiefly upon the desire to shift to the Federal Treasury burdens which properly belong elsewhere.Un- less intimately connected with the work of investigating the estimates for the support of the Federal gov- ernment,it is almost impossible for one to have any adequate conception of the magnitude of the work or the extent of the pressure from every conceivable source for lavish grants from the Treasury.The protection of the Treasury against the attempts to shift burdens properly belonging elsewhere is not.a partisan matter. It requires the co-operation ¢f ‘men regardless of party,and it ealls for courage and determination seldom appreciated by the public.” |ecementsenemsme Again Ask Foy Increase in Freight Rate —Passenger Fares Go Up, Contending that they face nnpre-| cedented sonditiors,agcravated by} the European war,Eastern railroads)have notified the Ipter-Stzte merce Commission informally of} ,their intention to ask for re-openingy| of the advance rate ease,in which a} petition for a.eneral increase of 5} per cent in freight rates,was denied.

THE.FIERCEST BATTLE YET. It Raged For Days From Entrench-ed Positions on the River AisneWithLittleAdvantageteEither Side. One of the fiercest battles of all times,which has been raging across northern France for a wee past, with first a slight advantage on onesideandthenontheother,was un-decided Sunday.The two great ar-mies which have been fighting for a month with few intermissions,haddugthemselvesintoentrenchments on rivers and mountain ranges on a front reaching from the Oise to theMeuse,and thence southeastward along the Franco -German frontier. ‘Artillery duels such as never be- fore have been seen were carried on with the hope of compelling the evacuation of thé strongly held posi- tions,withoccasional successestotheposingsides,while the infantry,in the face of a galling fire,chargedrightuptotheguns,only to make their opponents give way slightly,or to be repulsed with great losses.|Fighting was fiercest on the allies’left,which lies on the right bank oftheriverOise,in the vicinity ofRheims.Between that town and theArgonneridgeithasbeengiveandtakeallthetime.French official reports again claimslightprogressontheFrenchleft and that the allies again have repuls- ed strong frontal attacks between Cragonne and Rheims.AroundRheims—itself matters have been about equalized,as the Germans have récaptared the heights of Bri- mont,while the French have takenthedefencesofLaPompelle. It is reported that the famous ca- thedral at Rheims,which dates backtothethirteenthcentury,was picre-ed by German.shells,which set it afire.The French also have scored a success between Rheims and the Argonne,where they have taken the village of Souain and have captured numerous prisoners.yTheFrenchreportprogress onthewesternslopesoftheArgonne, where the German Crown _Prince’sarmyopposedthem,while the.Ger-mans have retired beyond the fron-tier in~Lorraine,evacyating Avri- court.In all cases these are separate at-tacks and counter-attacks by the armies lying in the trenches waitingfortheirartillerytocompeltheother. side to slacken its fire.The losses intheseattacksmustbeenormous,for the men cannot move a foot withoutbeingmadetargetsoftheheavygunspostedonthehillsabovethem.The British apparently have learn- ed something from the Japanese at- tacks on Port Arthur.They make a rush forward and when the fire be- comes too heavy for them to make afurtheradvancetheyagaindigtrenchesforthemselvesandremainthereuntilanotheropportunityof-fers for thém to gain a few more yards,The Germans have had most of their artillery at work,but ‘the French are bringing up more and big-ger guns.This kind of fighting-withbothsidesinstrongpositionsmaygo on for days,but sooner or later onesidemustfindthecontinualfallofshellsandthedisconcertinginfantryattackstoomuchforthem,and,lcav-ing a strong rear guard;will drawbackforabreathinggpell. The battle resembles in many par-tienlars that of the Sha-Ho in 1904, where the Japanese and Russians, with much more time to do it,estab-lished positions which each thoughttobeimpregnable.Shells and in- fantry attacks,however,finally com- pelled the Russians to withdtaw with lossés that at that time were withoutrecedent.With all the hard,long ghting behind them the Germans again aré making attacks ~towardVerdun,while the allies are making frontal attacks on the German right ahd once more are attempting to out- flank it.The German.cavalry have beer showing considerable daring and have been trying to,cut the _communica-tions of the allies between Oise and the coast.

The battle of the Aisne seems to be waiting on the outcome of the at- tempt of the allics to outflank the “care right wing.The French of- ficial report,late Wednesday,while it speaksof an advance made by the allies’left in the region of Lassingny and unofficial reports say that this advance was one of about 12 miles— simply records the repulse of several attacks by the Germans and the fact that elsewhere the situation remains unchanged.Military experts,how- ever,warn the public not to ignorg the German efforts to force the French barrier chain at its more as- In.the Russians are pushing steadily on toward Przemysil.They apparently have that piace pretty well surrounded by now.Following the of Jaroslau,they an- the octtifiition of Wislok,on the Hungarian border,southwest of Przemsyl,.and an important station on the railway which cuns Sanok through one of the passes of the Carpathians.to Zemplin and thence to Budapest, Wislok probably was taken by that part of the Russian army which ad- vanced from Lemberg bythe southern route to cut,off the retreat of the Austrian army through the Carpa- thians.It also is another link in the chain which the Russians are draw- ing around the fortress of Przemy3! and Cracow. On the German frontier the Rus- sians are in close touch with the Ger- man forces,according to their report, but no fighting has occurred. The Servians record almost daily successes.This time it is the cap- ture of Liubovia,on the river Drina. The event of Wednesday was the flight of British navgl acroplanes from Antwerp to Dussel ,approx” imately a distance of-miles,in the course of which they dropped bombs on the Zeppelin sheds ‘of the German aerial fleet which would co- operate with the German’navy in ease of a raid on England. The losses throufth the sinking of the British cruisers,while heavy,are infiniteisimal compared with those of the battlefields.It is reported from Holland that 50,000 German wound- ed had passed through Liege from France,and it is known that losses on both sides are heavy. The Austrian losses are even heav- ler than those of the Germans and the allies.Up to September 14,according to Russian papers,the Russians have red seven Austrian flags,636 guns,44 machine guns and 64,000 prisoners,including 535.officers. »Nine cases of Asiatic cholera have -Keen discovered among wounded sol- & ers in Hungary;according to an of- al announcement by the Hunga- ian,minister of the interior.The an- nouncement has excited great appre- hension. -Unofficial reports from Berlin say a single submarine,the U-9,carried t the successful raid.against the fritish flect in the North sen,in which the cruisers Hogue,Aboukir and Cressy were sunk.The first re- ports.of the sinking of the cruisers, mentioned on another nage of Landmark,»says five submarines at- tacked the British and that two were sunk.This is.denied at Berlin, The Germang say a single subma- rine did.the work..A later report says about 1,000 men were saved from the total of 2,200 on the Brit- ish cruisers. .4—Mr,J..W.Vati Hoy of this éounty,who has been with the Jack- son Training Sehool.in Concord for some time,has resigned his position im.the school and will practice law in Concord. ri .T,I.Nixon,whose illness ia mentioned by the Mt.Mourne cor- ert,died yesterday at her home at_Mt,Mourne., Mrs,D.M.Furehes has moved into her new,home on Walnut,strect.

Serious “Result.of a Family Row intheHomeofaColoredManNearElmwood—James Alexander ShotHisSonandtheLatter’s Arm WasAmputated. In the vicinity of Elmwood Tues- day evening Odell Alexander,a young egro man,was shot in the arm byisfather,James Alexander,and the member was so badly injured that it had te be amputated just below the elbow,The shooting occurred at the home of the negroes,who are tenants on the farm of Mr.R,W.Pou,andtheweaponwasashotgun,Thefatherclaimsthathefiredtheshotsimplytofrightenhissonanddidnot intend to shoot him.Although the officers are inclined to believe the father’s story,he was placed under $100 bond for his.appearance at ahearingofthecasewhenhissonis able to attend trial.bth to the story of damesAlexander,the father,which is cor- roborated by his wife and smaller chil- dren,the shootirig followed a quarrel between Alexander and the son,Odell, as the result of Odell having beaten his young brother,Edi Alexander; aged between seven and eight years, during the absence of his parents. As Alexander and his wife approach- ed their home,on their return from town,they heard screams in the house and when Alexander ran into the house he found that Odell had been beating Ed.The fatherremonstrated with Odell,he says,and when Odell cursed him he grasped a stick of steve wood and threatened his son. Odell,who is larger than his father, snatched the stick from the latter and struck him on,the head.By this time the mother had reached the room and when she attempted to sep- arate them she was struck by her son:The father retreated into an ad- joining room and was followed by his son.In an effort to keep the two apart Alexander’s wife pushed him through the open door of a closet. Odell made for the closet with his stick,declaring,it ic claimed,that he would kill his father.Seizing a shot- gun which was in the closet the father pointed it upward and discharged it. As the gun fired Odell ran out of the house and disappeared. The injured man ran to the home of Mr.Pou to ’phone for a doctor and Alexander claims that be did not know that he had shot bis son until Mr.Pow sent a couple of colored men to his home to investigate.the trouble. Going to the home of Mr.Pou Alex- ander says he was horrified.to find that the load had passed through the wrist of his son’s left hand.After cording Odell’s arm above the wound to stop the loss of blood,Mr.Pou started him to the Sanatorium at Statesville in a buggy-Sheriff Dea. ton was notified of the shooting by telephone and he and Deputy Gilbert went to Elmwood by automobile: Reaching Mr.Pou’s,.the officers placed Alexander under arrest and then went with him to his home to see the course of the shot from the gun.It was found that the gun had been pointed upward,as stated by Alexander,and the shot had taken effect in the ceiling of the room.It is supposed that Odell threw up his hand just-as the gun fired,the na- ture of the wound indicating this. After making the investigation at Alexander’s home the officers brought him to Statesville in the automobile, overtaking the buggy bearing the wounded’man and atcompanying it to the Sanatorium,where the injured arm was amputated.After the oper- atién the victim was taken to the home of a colored man. ‘Alexander -romained in jail until Wednesday morning,when he was re- leased on bond.Mr.Pou,who fur- nished Bond for the negro,says he is a reliable man.He has been work. ing for Mr.Pou eight years.Odell Alexander has given his parents con- siderable trouble. Mrs.Phifer of Cleveland Hurt By a Runaway Horse. Mrs.D.Le Phifer.was peinfully injured by a runaway horse yester- day about 10.39 o’clock at her ‘home at Cleveland.Mrs.Phifer had just returned from Barber,where she had gone to meet her daughtr,and was in the act of unhitching the horse from the bugzy when the animal be- came frightened and ran.She was caught between a front wheei and shaft of the buggy.and dragge!sev eral yards before falling clear of the buggy.She was.nnconscious when help reached her and it was feared at the time that she had been fatal- ly hutt,but it.was learned by tele- phone yesterday afternoon that she had regained consciousness and the attending physician stated that aside from zhe,shock .and painful.bruises she was not badly hurt.No bones were broken.

A trail of blazed hémlocks,hick- ies and oaks,declared to have been‘made nearly’a century ago;is citedbytheStateofNorthCarolinato ve to the Supreme Court its claimalargesectionofdisputedtimber along the Tennessee line.The ‘3 claim was set forth in a brief filed by Attorney General Thomas W, Biekett.The case will be,,argued orally in October. When North Carolina ceded the ter~ ritery now embraced in Tennessee.to the United States in 1790,a commis- sion was authorized to mark the ‘boundary line.This it did in 1821, but a disagreement recently arose as tothe line in the so-called “Slick Rock basin”and the “Tellico basin.” Attorney General Bickett,in his brief;asserts that S.S.Gannott,of the United States geological survey, and A;D.Burns of Knoxville,Tenn., recently traced the old boundary laid by the surveyors by “three backs over a blaze on each fore and aft tree and with three hacks each side line tree.” The line thus established,he says, substantiates North Carolina’s claim to the disputed timber land. The Line Want Government Loans of $35 a Bale on Cotton.

Mr.Henry said banks in the South were withholding currency from the cotten’farmers,who needed imme- diate help.He wanted it apportioned among Southern States according to cotten production in 1913 and sug- gested.the loans be made through banks or by postmasters.

In some cases women were strick- en in ferry boats half an hour..after they had inhaled the fumes.In per-| |haps 40:instances persons into whose | \Iungs the fumes had been inhaled |for several minutes suddenly,fell over unconscious.Four men and wo- men aboard ferry boats on.which were packed hundreds of hysterical |passengers to all appearance became las dead.Their heart beats were no longer audible.Physicians revived} |them.by’artificial respiration.Six} |persons were taken to hospitals.

Cotton.Exchanges Opening—Texas to Store a Third of the Crop. Wall Street Journal, Reopening of the cotton exchanges now include Dallas,Memphis,Mont-gomery,New Orleans and Savannah. The New:Orleans Exchange,which has resumed business,is regarded.as giving a brighter outlook to the hold- ers of cotton and to all whose business is dependest thereon.This opening, it is expected,will be responded to by considerable cotton buying through- out the country. Side by side with the resumption of trading on exchange basis is the prog- ress of construction and adaptation of warehouse.capacity.The Dallas chamber of ecommerce announces that 420 Texas cities and towns had en- gaged in constructing cotton ware-houses.The smallest of these will ac- commodate 1,000 bales,and the aver- age capacity will be 3,000 bales.Prep- arations are said to be making forholdingathirdoftheTexascrop.
