VOL.XL. STATESVILLE,N.©.TUESDAY,AUGUST 3,1915. IT WAS THE FARMER'S DAY. -Whe Institute at the State Farm _What ‘They Talked About. -..The farmer folks were at the Ire-dell Test Farm in great numbers Sat- urday,the eventbeing the amnual-far-“mers’institute—the day when —the -Btate sends some of its best depart-ment men and most successful far--mérs and educators to its Iredellfarm.to ‘dispense information whichwillhelptheruraldwellersintheir every-day life and future develop-ment;and the day when a great mul-’titude gathers for information,pleas-ure,renewal of acquaintances,gos-~siping and a’general day's outing, “There are some who go for cil)Judg- ing from the number who actually take advantage of the excellent talks -faade for their benefit,there are few who gather for the most important purposes——that of gaining informa- tion.Saturday’s crowd was about the usual one both in personnel and num- bers.They were there from all sec- _tions of Iredell and some from adjoin- ing counties,coming by’train,auto- mobile and in the old way.It was in- teresting to note the unusually Jarge number of farmer-owned automobiles-e¢ompared with a few years ago. Mr.French’s Talk. ©Mr.A.L.French,a prominent and ous--farmer._of --Rockingham county,was in charge of the institute party,and in addition to the director the party was composed of Mr.W.N. Hutt,State horticulturist;Mrs.Hutt, who is one of the most capable insti- tute workers in the State;Mr.W.F. Pate,assistant State agronomist;Mr. J.8.Holmes,State forester;Mr.E.S- Millsaps,State demonstration agent, and Mr.R.W.Collett of the State Ex- periment Station.The men’s meet- ings were held in the large open shed built for.that purpose and the Aneet- ings_for.the farm women were held in a large open.tent.: In opening the men’s meeting Mr. French discussed.the need of more grass on the farms anc the manner of getting it.He is an authority on the subject of grass,speaking from his own personal.éxperience on his bie farm in Rockingham county,which has been developed from:a .“starva- .tion”.farm to one of the most pro- ductive and most valuable in the State.Heee ene e ss on the slopes to prevent 501 er it Our efforts at soil building, fie declared,have been largely futile because we havé’allow e soil to wash away;because we have hot sow- ‘ed graes at ad¥.revue Iplates to *nind the soil togetti if preserve it. _He discussedgr’f “as «;pasture. crop anda hay erép’jadiared it to be the best ‘money ‘érdp’that ean be grown in North Carolina today,be- eause of the big price that may be se- evred for good hav and the small cost of producing and handling it., Mr.Pate Talked Soil Improvement. Mr.Pate followed with an able dis- cussion:of soil improvement.Humus and-bacteria are-the blood of tht soil, _-he declared,and are just as essential prospe oF i to the soil as blood to our bodies.Humus is decayed organic matter ‘and’it is.therefore easy to make our lands rich in this by putting organic.mattey into the soil.And.if thesoilisrichin humus which is kent sweet by the use of lime,the bacteria will thrive there'and give the desired combination.But we must.have wa~ ter in the soil.for it is the water with the humic acid which makes the.solu- tion to feed the plant,and the way to have the water is to prepare our Jands in such a manner that they will hold water._A.deep:soil:full of hu- mus will hold water.It has been found that the soil of Illinois,which contains 6 per cent of humus,will hold three times_as_much_water.as the cecil clay soil of this.section, which has only 4.5 per cenit of humus; therefore we should getiour land to the 5 per cent state.The cheapest and.most economjcal way to.make more crops to the acre is to put.more humus into the soil.Lime makes the land sanitary and gives.the bacteria a good place to thrive.The quickest way to get bacteria into the soil is to.plow in stable.manure,and the manure should beplowed in just as fast.as itis:made.e longer the mantire stands the less valuable it.is to the soil,and the liquid.pottion of the manure is the most valuable por- tion._Stablesshould be well:littered to preserve the liquid portion.Raw rock lime-—crushed Hmestone—is now go chéap that any farmer can afford to use it in large quantities.

Reported For The Landmark,5 |At,the meeting or the Merchants” Association Friday evening,which was well.attended,reports of dele- gates to the State convention at Asheville:were made,all of which praised the hearty weleome given them by the merchants of Asheville. The committee on wide tires asked for more.time. an-acthas passed the Legisiature*to prevent the’use of narrow tired wag- ons on the public roads of Hoke, Richmond and Moore counties;andtheyhope\to secure the passage of an act applying to Iredell county atthenextsession.It is hoped that the farmers and others using wagons will support the committee,as it is afactthatthewidetiresarein.the long tun cheaper than narrow tires.They cost a little more but they last tires and they arelighter draught. A_resolution was passed _endors=ing the Hollis bill,which will come before the next session of Congress. This bill is.to establish a mationalsystemofruralcredits.If it be- comes a law it will establish almost the same system of rural credits as is in-use in every country in Europe.The bill was drawn.by the commit- tee which this government sent .toEuropetostudyruralcredits.This committee visited every country there and found the system in general use by the different:governments .and of the greatest benefit to the farmers.From their report it is’found thatGermanywas‘the first to establish pervision,and at the time the com-mittee was there Germany had 17,-000 rural credit banks.is that farmers ‘can borrow money on a rate of interest from 3 1-2 to 4 per cent.,and this payment of interest also pays off the amount of the loanatmaturity,The effect.is that.the farmers in every country in Europe are more prosperous than the farm-ers of North Carolina North Carolina were not ‘as prosper- ous in.1913.and 1914 as they were10or’20 or even 30 years ago,and that tenaney ig,increasing...‘Thereare75,000‘heads ,of,families:‘ini :thisStatewho:.do not,own land)Statis-tics also,show!that the farm produc-tien:|per:‘acre in,North Carolinaislarger,than’ini most ‘any other Stateinthe.Union;and-they also show-that|-in the State ‘ds a whole $20,000,000worthoffoodstuff‘is brought into the State annually.

The idea is to suggest that an effort be made to furnish entertainment for our picnics.At this season of the, year these gatherings are numerous in Iredelland inthe country generally, There are Sunday school picnics,the picnics.of the fraternal orders,sol- diers’reunions,etc.The main fea- ture of intertainment on these occas- ions—in fact about the only feature of entertainment aside from the im- portant matter of eating and drinking —is an address by some speaker.—It is not always possible to get.a speak- er of note to make an address ‘at a neighborhood affair.Sometimes it is hard to ‘get any sort of speaker; and the event lags for lack of enter- tainment.People sit around and talk and feel bored.These picnics M te br: cath of an th co ta of ve W. ty,a s¢ Comm uation in-Catawba ¢ 161,073 against $6,185,547,tobe ex.act.‘‘ shot.himself at his homecreek,Buncombe county,Friday af- Asheville hospital.: old, was.for-a time.in charEmanuel,Statesville,” pastorate of TeGoldsboro. had the same effect on them:it:hashad“on the.‘whites— and_industry. feared that a mule tender hamedOakeswhowasdrownedinthewreck learned that the dead his:relative, Wayne county,Was choked to deathbygettingagreen‘pea hull in its physician:arrived. put_out fire which started-a conflagra-tion that damaged him to the extent Camp and Bald Mountain townships, stroyed,partially orcropsinaterritorya mile wide andsixmiles.long, and Mrs.John Webb of Wilson coun- cidents of Life in North lina.=enTheStateAssociation.of |CountynamonerswillbeinsessionatorehCityonthe’10th,i The Enterprise says property val- aise nearly ast year—$7,- Federal regula ee the Har-rison,anti-drug:law have been’chang-ed to permit registry of osteopaths so|they may administey drugs in those‘States where they are registered bylawaspractitioners,©,ie Edwin A.Moore,formerlya privateintheUnitedStatesarmy,Abot andkilledhis.15-year-old “wife “at ©thehomeofherparents’in Atlanta ‘and.then killed himself.Mrs.Moore re-ently had left her husband after aquarrel.te UE Ns‘A Frenchman who ‘shot his Ger-man wife dead because she persistent-|ly praised Germany—s9 ‘he said—was acquitted by the court martialafter-his-statement-that-the-womandailyridiculedhispatriotismandscoffedattheFrencharmy.- Eight men were killed and12 in-jured at the Patterson mine theUnitedCoal:Companynear’Elizabeth,Pa.,‘when -a ‘cable hauling12.carsupasteepinclinebroke.Among thekilledwasSamuelM,Doughtery,thecoalcompany’s superintendent,FKansasfarmerswillhave115.700,- 000 bushels of winter wheat’this year,according to an estimate basedonconditionsJuly24,inthe July re-port of the Kansas board df‘agricul-ture.Continuous rains and=hail dur-|ing the harvest season cost the State |123,000,000 bushels of wheat,the re- port said,i Pe A:dispatch from Berlin says pro-tracted experiments with the .Japa-nese “soy”or “soja”,bean,out of which,among.other things,Whrces-tershire sauce is.made,are being.con- ducted ‘with a view.to determiningwhetherthisvegetable,which ean.be and is raised in:Germany,cannot be used in the many prison:eamps.| Mrs.James Martin,46 years old.| wife of a lawyer,was beatem and|hacked to death with a hatehet in her|home at Murphysboro,Ti Jo.De-| Berry,a negro house servant;who re-| cently was paroled from the State re-|formatory to Mr.Martin:was:ar-|rested,and it was with diffienlty that|officers saved him from:mobs.1 Uncle Sam has been lodgin®some prisoners,for convenience:in the}Massachusctts —State rison t Charlestown,Mass.The State “prison |board ‘decided to increase‘the’rates| million in excess’‘of. or health,ao “Haw B,F.Smith,who was.in p rnoon antl died ‘that night ‘in.an|‘Was (26 years.

when the case of twocitizens,kinsmen,who had fought, being severely cut,over the im- ant matter of the proper place to‘water a horse,was atred in:Iredell yurt,an attorney appearing in

side that the defend- ants deserved severe punishment for fighting about so trivial a matter, This was admitted to be true but it was suggested that nearly all fights, many of which lead to homicide,have their origin in some trivial matter— *.matters so puerile that grown men -ghould be ashamed to be involved by ‘them.:: |Now isn’t all that so?Men fall out and fight and.sometimes.dan-

matters of no more importance.Right thinking ‘men are of course heartily ashamed of their conduct in:such Cases after it is all over,when <t is too late to »undo what has been done;but while the blood is hot they are as fierce and determined in contending for things of no earthly importance as if a great principle.was involved;as if their good name or honor were really at stake,when *the truth:is

TEXACO MOTOR OIL will decrease your gas consumption and give you more miles:per gallon,.When the oil is put into the crankcase,it reaches the various parts,and due to its fine tenaciiy,it coats these parts,giving them ‘thorough protection against wear and tear of metal-to-metal contact.©.ere Pee ares or or ness Ke Svs = "TEXACO.MOTOR OIL forms a coating or film on the cylinder walls,and when the explosion forces the piston ‘down,the film of TEXACO holds.“The “gas”cannot escape—all of it is used in driving the motor,When each charge;of gaoline does maximum work,you use less “gas”to produce a given amount of power,and your miles per gallon increases.-s ‘“ 1.TEXACO MOTOR OIL will prevent thé “gas”from reaching the crank case and thinning out the oil.Racing car drivers and others will tell you that TEXACO will not weaken under strain,« and that they’ha've had sad experiences with other oils Which cannot hold compression and are.“shot to pieces.”What they mean is that the oil becomes contaminated with gasoline,its body isso impaired thatit:“runs out like water,”and.loses whatever lubricating quality it onée possessed.’Hie Hr LOUIS DISBROW tells of his experience.with TEXACO MOTOR OIL.He laudsits compression holding quality,backing up his praise with exclusive use in his record-breaking feats on ° the dirt track,which have made him the holder of at least seven World’s records,and he is gontinually adding to them.:oe .*é ;athee ?'Py ;; TEXACO.MOTOR OIL may form a small amount of cafbon,but this is guaranteed to be of a soft;sooty nature,and can be wiped off with.a keresenemoaked rag.«It-will not--cannot-form a hard carbon deposit.It will not hake on the piston head,It Prevents the leakage of the mixture through the exhaust valves,which oceurs when‘hard carbon is deposited on the seat.

By the useof TEXACO MOTOR OIL,the efficiéncyof the ignition is maintained by the cleanness of spark plugs.No short circuiting,pre-ignitiois of interference with the regular perk ingcan be traced to these causes where TAXAGO is used.Each charge of gasoline is ignited at the right time.You are not subjected to the anhoyaiice of fumbling with the throttle or .Spark plugs.|You-enjoy driving with the knowledge of the saving of gasoline.i te ,y BXACO MOTOR OIL has a ZERO cold test.It flows freely in the coldest weather.You déi"t.have to wait for your engine to warm up.There is no stiffness,no waste of power. e are undisputable advantages,and they are within easy reach.Herbert Spencer,the great!philosopher,said:“There is a principle which is a bar to all information,proof against ~ fients..This principle is contempt or indifference prior to investigation.”Don’t be a doubter—be an investigator,there is only discouragement if the former—satisfaction of n the latter.Don’t take our word for it—don’t take the other man’s’word—give TEXACO MOTOR OIL a fair trial,watch it carefully—make your own comparisons, aeyoutdealer cannot supply you,write us oF call at our office,we will see that you are supplied. ¥sue 7 ae Se -Ge ~=%4 Se en e +ign -~ STATESVILLE OIL COMPANY,!

It’s a pity.this rule isn’t recognized among nations,but it isn’t.When ©two nations go to fighting the custom ~sognd-the-practice is..so.well récog- nized that it has the force of inter- national law if it isn’t actually inter- national law—is for all nations not ‘taking part in the fight to stand aside and declare their neutrality—that is to say,to profess that they don’t care wheih side whips—that they have “no ruthers,”as the late Billy Miller of Statesville said about a fight between two individuals,neither of whom he admired.Not only do the nations do that,but it is a part of the custom ana the practice to supply the bel- ligerents such supplies.as they want to buy and can pay for—munitions of war and food and clothing.Some- times this.gives one belligerent an advantage ovér another,because ‘one may be so situated that it can get supplies from neighbors and the oth- er may be so situated that it can’t. That is the case now in the European war.England and France can get *supplies from the United States,but ~Germany is so situated that her en- __emies have practically shut her out of ~the markets of this country.In the case of the individual scrap,the real neutral,if called on for ‘any f sort of ‘help by either-of the combat~ants,would consider tatittwagsteutrahelpneither;‘batai»hie would hel who was get e argument.But thisbBgcaseofnations,It iascsidecod ts RnneutralBG: ve ides—if th $0 sell to one while it sold to another, |“put.it would cease to be neutral when%"it did so and would become a party “'“to the dispute.ne ;; >i It would have been a fine thing if all the neutral countries of the world had,at the outset of the European war,notified the belligerents that they could get nothing from them. But it would have paralyzed com- merce.As the Newton Enterprise has so forcibly pointed out,we could- n’t stop selling arms and ammunition “and go on selling food and.clothes for __,the armies in the field,unless we want ke “et‘a to lay ourselves liable to the chargeofhypocrisy..We couldn't pose as holier-than-thou and refuse :them weapons with which to fight,while we sold them food and clothes to keep them fit to fight.The only course, then,would be to stop all sales what- ever;and nobody who is demanding that:the sale of arms and ammuni- tion be stopped has,so far as we are “advised,proposed that we go to that extreme.In fact most of those who denounce as inhumane the sale of in- struments of death to the belliger- ents,would doubtless say it was in-’ humane to refuse to sell them food and clothes.|ve It is useless to say that things should be this way.or that,It.is.a ,condition and not a theory that con-fronts us,and we must be governed by the customs and practices of na- tions as they are,rather than as theyshouldbe,unless we want to take ahand.And we must remember,whatMostofthosewhodemand.the cessa-tion’of the sale of munitions of warseemtoforget—that we may be introublesometimeourselves.Thetimemaycome—and soon—although we pray it may never come,when wewouldwanttobuyarmsandammu- nition,abroad;when it would be neéces-sary,for our preservation,that weeouldbuythesethingsfromother..”countries.If we had repudiated this ;ie practice ‘we could not demand that webeaccommodatedbecauseconditionshadchanged;and if we only had re-pudiated the practice,our enemiescouldgetalltheyneeded,while we _could get none,which would be de- ¢idedly to our disadvantage.

The fact that the negro had been brought to Statesville became known in Charlotte during the evening and about 9:30 o’clock Sheriff Deaton’re- ceived a message to the effect that a mob.was being organized to come to Statesville after the negro.As a pre- caution the sheriff,accompanied byhistwosons,Messrs.Fred and FrankDeaton,took Brice from the jail be- fore midnight and kept him out-in an automobile all night,returning him to the jail yesterday morning.The expected mob did not come to States- .Ville,and so far as known none start- ed toward Statesville from Mecklen- burg.The negro -has shown little signs of fear.He went to sleep soon after being placed in jail Wednesday ‘evening and Jailer Gilbert and Sheriff Deaton had some difficulty in arousing him and getting him ready for hismidnightridewhenitwasdecidedtotakehimawayforthenight..heCrimes The Observer’s report crime was committed about 10 0’clock Wednesday morning.Dr.Query,who is a-prominent physician,lives on oneofthemainpublicroadsofthecoun- ty,near ‘Steele Creek church.Mrs.Query sent her little daughter to the mail box,about a stone’s throw fromthehouse..When the child reached the road she was confronted by thé negro,who asked her about a roadleadingto.a:house in the ncighbor-hood.She pointed out the~road but the negro asked that she show it tohim.Inher ‘innocence the Jittle girl «Started..to comply “but had walked monly xa few steps when the -negreqCaught-hersand ¢hoked her into in- sonepribility.He dragged her’into the+nea away)by the ‘approach of people on the road.The little girl quickly re- covered,told what had happened and ,.gave a description of her assailant. She said he was wearing hlue oven- alls and a blue cap,was barefooted and was carrying a coat and a bueketunderhisarm.This description coin-cided_identically with-that_ofone-of the neighbors,who saw and spoke tothesamenegroonlyashorttimepre-vious. The alarm was given and officers and citizens in all the countryside joined in the search.The hegro waseasilytracedandat1:40 o'clock he _Wwas arrested,while making his waytoCharlotte,He was found to be Whey Brice,a resident of the county. He answered the description in-every particular and when charged with thecrimeadmitted;it but said he had only choked the little girl. Brice was at once taken to jail inCharlottebut.a little later it was de- cided,as a matter.of safety,that he should be removed and he was broughttoStatesville.The Observer’saystherewasnoturbulentdemonstra-tion in the section where the crimeoccurredbuttherewasofcoursegreatexcitementanditwaspossible,if not probable,that a demonstration might be made,hence it was decided the partof:wisdom to remove the prisoner toanothercounty.

Suppose the victim was your sister or daughter,says the Barium editor. ‘In such case most of us would want to do just’what the mob did,but that would not make it right.If the average man felt free to avenge his own’wrongs,to follow the dictates of his feeling when passion is aroused, he would do a great manythings he doesn’t do and there would be many “breaches.of the peace,not to say homicides,by the individual attempt ~to-redress-real-or-fancied wrongs. -But another view.Suppose the victim of the mob was.your brother, father or near relative.Would you be willing for the mob,in its blind fury,to determine his guilt or inno- cence?’It is-possible for any man to_-~be charged with crime,but no defend- er of mob law would be willing,if the accused was near to him,for the mob to say what should be done simply be- cause circumstances appeared to con- In short mob law is lawlessness and ‘lawlessness.can*t.be defended because ‘destroys.all orderly procedure and| fety,and followed to its conclusion it.means ithe destruction of govern- at and society.If mobs only act: when the law had failed and the ywn guilty were about to escape, even then they could not be defended :ise of what mob rule would lead ito.For while the mob would actin Be e po r n j p a t sa e ar n an i t i e d s ‘ed the rule of the.mob follows—and“that means anarchy;for once allowed’ seway,innocence or guilt would be lightly considered,by and by the law- Jess element would dominate and, from the original purpose to vindicate fustice and right—if a mob can havesuchpurpose—it would be turned into _-@ machineto wreak vengeance and _to perform.other lawless acts because lawlessnes&would be the controlling motive.Inthat day nobody would be Safe.i .»The Landmark repeats ‘its regret .that the Bafiim editor gave utterance‘.such séntiments.©On ~second jought we are sure he will see their. unwisdom.fe ee--Mr.W.Hy-Schoolfield of:Reidsville, ‘who denies that he is a German or in ‘any way related to the Germans,but who shows himself to be a strong Ger- man sympathizer,delivers himself of some remarks in the Greensboro News,of which the following is a ‘sample: '_If the Lord Almighty is with ‘the eee and it looks like He is,the ermans can in less than 12 monthsdisposeofRussiaandthencrush‘France and England,and land an ar-my ‘in Canada and invade the UnitedStates,overrun and hold some of theNorthernStatesbeforeanarmypow-|d_erfal enough to meet’them could begotready.If that time does come,the war newspaper editors who saythey.are standing behind the Presi-dent can.either stand behind him _orrunbehind‘him from .Washi ‘whichever they please.eminaetThatisawfultocontemplate!But ¢ome to think of it,if the skies weretofallthey’d catch all the larks._ President Wilson gives the bankersandfarmersastraighttip.If the bankers can get money at 4 to 4 1-2 per cent he’thinks they should beSatisfiedwithoneortwopercent“profit and give the farmers a low rateofinterest.The farmers will agreewiththePresidentthere,“but ‘thebankers—well,a resolution to adopt_the suggestion would hardly be unani- mously adopted.,A Charlotte bank,however,has given notice that it willlendMecklenburgfarmersoncottonwarehousereceipts,for such time asdesired,at 6 per cent interest;and)many other “banks which have money available or can get it, will do the same,a The $25,000 hydroplane,Disturber‘'V,.owned by Jamies A.Pugh,commo-of theChicago Yacht Club,on:eT at @hicago Saturdaycateenedand)went ‘to the bottom in|than ‘two minutes.Two persons Rea lan: |WHAT THE FARMERS WANT Resolutions Adopted By---the-Farmers’State Convention.

The tender+hearted Governor was of course distressed by them,but believ- ing it washis duty to let the law take LOOKS GOOD NOW, The change in the German attitude, which has dispersed the shadows which had gathered about the relations be- tween that country and the UnitedStates,moves the New York Sun tosizeupthesituationas‘follows: For’Germany,a clearly ognized=ee atelyto "get out Fhe legallyandmorallyuntenablegeaisiensand-i to get out hh a manner likely to winbackacertainamountofwaveringfriendshiponthissideoftheocean.For the United:States,peace withonor.For the administration of Woodrow Wilson,well merited renown.That *seems’to be‘the correct view.While the situation will wot be clear- ed up until a satisfactory answer.is received from Germany,‘the attitude of that country,as indicated by the German Ambassador ‘to the United a satisfactory settlement, The apparent change:i in Germany’8 attitude is.said to be due to a change in Berlin.The German chancellor,Dr, Von Bethman-Hollweg,has opposed the methods of submarine warfare,it is said,but the marine department, headed ,by Grand Admiral von Tir- pitz,creator of the submarine policy, insisted on torpedoing ships without warning.Recently it is said that the Kaiser has adopted the chancellor’s States,seems to remove all doubt of ; The Lenoir News observes that The Landmark has a “perfect right to make its own classification.and matter and legitimate ‘advertising,and it will of course accord to oth- ers the same ptivilege.”Which ‘same The Landthark distinctly,did in the very article to which the News re- plies;and which same the esteemed News did not do,for The Landmark's observations were prompted by the fact that the News was.criticising other papers for publishing as news twhat it considered advertising;and)’ it is now asking that the publishers of the State get together.and accept its’view.The News says it “is ob-' viously true by the nature of ~their business,”that “newspaper men,as class,do more for the publit good ree of charge,according to their ability,than any other class of citi- zens.”True,of course.But’there is ‘enough legitimate business that they should have,and that.they can demand pay for,~without demanding pay for what most of them seem ‘to regard as legitimate’news.

The “third degree,”which Gov. Blease properly denounces,means tor- turing a prisoner to force him to con- ‘fess or implicate others.The anar- chist Holt,whose case Gov.Blease mentions,was probably either killed or forced to commit:suicide by this method of the Dark 'Ages.And yet __.newspapers in thp cities of the NorthandWest,who pass over the third de- +gree without criticism;are horrified when a lynching occurs in the South. Neither is to be defended,but of the two the lynchingis less barbarous.In: the latter case the victim’s lifeis usu- ally quickly taken,while death would often be a relief to the tortured vic- tims of the “third degree.” ‘The Landmark has no patience withGov,Blease’s defence of lynching anditregretsthatamanwhocommendsmoblawcanbeelectedGovernorofaSouthernState;but:his remarksabout:the cruelty to prisoners—menpresumablyundertheprotectionoflaw—are timely and just.
