Germany is Evasive and Defers Direet ‘Answer -——Full’Text of German 'y to NoteConcerningthe.Sinking oftheLusitaniaHas’Been Re- an —Summary Publish- The German.note,replying to the Si ‘American note anent the sinking of ;the Lusitania,was received in Wash- ington Sunday night at midnight. Following is a summary: The note expresses Germany’s re- gret for injuries sustained by Ameri- cans as a result of submarine and ‘aeroplane attacks,and offers compen- sation in cases in which Germany is found to be in the wrong.Direct an- swer to the questions raised by President Wilson,pending a further exchange of views,is deferred.Ger-many desires to,establish —whethertheLusitaniawasadefengelessmer-chant ship or was being used for the transportation of war munitions andsoldiers,on which unsuspecting pas- sengers were permitted to take pas- Sage to safeguard the war materials. Representations regarding the tor- pedoing of the British steamer Fala- ba,in which an American citizen lost his life,are answered with thestatementthatitwasintendedtoof- fer ample time for the passengers and crew to leave the ship.The ac- tion of the captain in attempting toescape,however,necessitated more summary action.Even then the commander of the submarine granted ten minutes for those on board —to leave the vessel,and subsequently ex- tended the time to 23 minutes beforesinkingtheship.: Unintentional Attacks. Germany expresses”regrets for“the unintentional attacks”on the American steamer Cushing and’the Gulflight.The Cushing was attackedbyGermanairmenintheNorthsea,and the Gulflight was ‘torpedoed offScillyIslands.Germany disavowsanyintentiontoattackharmlessneu- tral craft.She offers to pay com-persstion wherever she is found to bethewrong,and to refer doubtfulcainetoTheHagueforadecision. The .passages in the American note concerning a possible disavowalbyGermanyofintenttosinktheLusitaniaand‘the.vance—ofher’present’practices of submarinewarfarearenotmentionedseremenl.lyin ‘the reply.The'note states that pending the réply of the American government totheGerman§’assumption of fact ‘re-garding the reat character of the Lu- istania and her cargo,no-attempt willbemadetoanswerthedemandscon-tained in the American communica- ‘tion, ,.Assumptions of Fact.’ These assumptions of fact are asfollows: The Lusitania was built as an¢auxiliary cruiser,subsidized and car- ried on the navy lists as such.Shecarried,according to German infor-mation,two guns mounted and con-cealed below deck. British steamers sailing from NewYork,according to *information’re- ceived from passengers and other sources,repeatedly carried soldiers,artillery,-war.supplies and ~contra-band to England.‘The ‘Lusitania onthistripcarriedspecifically5,400easesofammunitioninadditionto‘other ‘war supplies and Canadiantroopsenroutetothefront.Reference is here made to the fact that carrying explosives on.passenger steamers is-contrary to American law.It is intimated that the German gov- ernment would be glad to receive in- formation as.to how it happened thatammunitionwaspermittedtobeship- ped on the Lusitania,a vessel crowd- ed with passengers.Strong phrases are used regarding what.is consideredasapparentlythedeliberatepolicyoiBritishshippingcompaniestoprotectwarshipmentsbyembarkingAmeri-can passengers on the same ships. Germany contends it is impossibletosettlethequestionwhetherproper opportunity was given to place the passengers and crew in safety until itisdeterminedwhethertheregulations adopted after the sinking of the Ti- tanic,regarding a proper supply ofboatsdndwater-tight bulkheads,which dre now a part of:the Ameri-ean law,were observed in the gase oftheLusitania.Finally.the ‘Amatiean _mediatory.proposals designed to end submarinewarfareandthethrottlingof:foodsuppliesandother‘conditional contra-band for Germany are recalled.The government expresses the’desire —toknow.what steps,if any,have beentakentoinduce:Great-.Britain\to em-:bark on negotiations to this end,'af- ter Germany indicated her.willing- hess to discuss a settlement on ai general basis.‘ —Mr,Emmet N..Morrison.ofStatesville,who has been in Salisburyforthepastseveralyears,has takenapositionwiththeFrickCo.and is ideutaa in Charlestown,W.Va. —About a car load,of Statesville’scolored,popeletion went to SalisburyyesterdaytoattendthécelebrationofFederalDecorationDay.

Walter Bryant Acquitted of Charge of Murder —Jury Nearly Unanimous From Out- set, Walter Bryant was acquitted of ‘themurderofHenryIngle:The jory re-turned a verdict of net guilty in Bun-combe Superior Court Friday morn- ing at 9 o’clock.A telegram fromSheriffDeatonsoonafterwardad-vised The Landmark of the result;but Friday’s edition of the paper hadbeenissuedwhenthenewswas_re-ceived. The Asheville Citizen says of thetrial: “Considering the fact that it was a capital ease,the trial was a remark-ably short one,the jury being charg- ed at the close of the second day,of the hearing.The cause of the short trial was due partly to the fact that there was only one eye-witness to theshootingofInglebythedefendant and to a ruling by,Judge James L.Webb excluding the testimony of athumber.of witnesses summoned bythe'State to testify concerning the home life of the Ingles and theirboarder. “The State rested its case almost entirely on the testimony of ArnoMatthews,while the case for the de- fense rested largely on the testimony of the defendant,Walter Bryant,who swore he killed Ingle to save his own life,and the evidence of character witnesses.“Neither the State nor the defensecalledMrs.Henry Ingle,the widow of the deceased and the aunt of ArnoMatthews,as a witness.” The following is from the Asheville Gazette-News:“It is understood that soon after’ the jury reached its room,and be- fore supper,ten ef the men stoodforacquittalandtwowereundecidedastowhat.their verdict would—be.

Saturday he went to the home of his’ parents in Sharpesburg township.The friends’of the family,who arehighlyesteemedinthecounty,arenaturally.greatly relieved and pleas-ed -at the result of the trial.The fact that the jury was so nearly un- animous for acquittal at the.out- set,shows the State’s Gase to have) been weak.: Rural Letter Carriers Met Yes- terday.——~_._ The Iredell-Alexander Rural Let-ter Carriers’Association held its,an- nual meeting in thé Federal buildinghereyesterday.The association hadplannedanoutingatBuffaloShoalsbridgebutwasrained.out.’Theywilltryitoveragainnextyear—May 30th,they say—but May 30th coni-ing on~Tuesday,Landmark-publica-- em fairer weather and better timesittheywillhaveitswmeotherday.At the meeting here yesterday the association.elected.the one td:ficers,J.N.Barron:president,EBeatyvicepresidentandA.W.Sal. son secretary and treasurer...Dele-gates to the State convention in Char-lotte in July:E,R.Wilkinson,J.N.arron and J.S.Keever.-Resolutions were adopted thank-ing the Federal authorities for the meeting ‘yesterday.

Editor Clarence Poe in Progressive Farmer. Jredell is one of the best countiesin-North Carolina,and the writer wasgladtopayit-a visit recently,Har-mony High ‘School,our objectivepoint,has set a good example for other schools in the emphasis it laysuponagricultureanddomestic_sci-ence work.The dinner served by thedomesticsciencestudentswouldhavedonecredittoaNewYorkhotel,andwewerenotsurprisedtolearnthat girl students 10’or 12 years old havelearnedtocookaswellastheirmoth-ers can.Nearly all the girls take thedomestiescience“work.Harmony isalsoa“farm life sehool,”and the ag- ricultural features aredeveloping ad-mirably, “Tredell’s fine.roads are its most at-tractive feature to me,”said an oldA.&M.boy we met in Statesville.Several years ago the county voted $400,000 for roads,and the moneyhasbeenwiselyinvestedin sand- clay construction.Between States-ville and Harmony we bumped along over a piece of worn-out macadam road which.cost about $3,000 a mile. The sand-clay roads,costing around $1,200 a mile,cost less-and-are worthmore. But Iredell,like 99 per cent of the other counties that build roads,is notgivingadequateattentiontotheirmaintenance.Most people yet.think that a road is like a house;build itandyouhaveiteverafter.The truthisthatupkeepisjustasimportant an item as construction..A man might as well pay $400 for a horse and then fail to buy feed for it as'to pay good money to build reads and then make no.systematic provision|\for upkeep. gAgriculturally,according ‘to Dem-onstration Agent Dull,it is in dairy- ing that most.progress is making inIredell,He expects 25 new nilos tthissummer,The creamery recently start-ed in M e is a success.“Ourpeopletook-the right track atMoaeeeeier:as Editor-Clark told us,y.tryingto.see |ch.patron-ase they gt get insteadof how‘shares of stock they could sell.

It is situated in the Piedmont sec- tion of North Carolina.Iredell is bounded on the north by Wilkes and Yadkin,on the east by Davie andRowan,on the south by Cabarrus and Mecklenburg,on the wegt by Cataw-ba,Liticoln and Alexander.Its lengthfromnorthtosouthisabout43miles, the average width 15 miles,Its area is about 600 square miles.The county was originally settledbytheScotch-Irish from Pennsyl-vania and Maryland.The Scots who.after the unsuccessful attempts of Charles Edward,grandson of JamestheSecond,to ascend the English throne,and whose fortunes were de-stroyed on the fatal field of Culloden(April 16,1746,)had fled to thiseountry..And by the Irish who,after the rebellion of the Earles of Ty-ronne and Tyrconnell in the times ofJamestheFirst,were forced to leavetheircountry.Thess or their ances-tors hdd come from Scotland and, were a very religious,liberty-lovin people,poor in everything but faith and courage.It is said that theschoolhousesandchurchesfollowed them as the “shadows follow the sun.”The religion of the ,Scotch-Irish was Presbyterian and.their preachers were also the teachers of the schools for a great number of years.Just.after the Scotch-Irish,camethethriftyGermansfromPennsyl-yania,who.settled:in the southern part of the county.Among them wasJohn:Beatty,who was the first whitepersonto.settle west of the Cataw- ba..A noted crossing place of jthe“Great North and South’road”Was named.Beatty’s Ford.|.,.,,;;Just after the Revolutionary warwasacolonyof‘English,‘known astheMarylandcolony,who;.came andsettledinnorth-eastern Iredell.TheyweremostlyBaptist’and Methodist.The Legislature of .1789 appointedthefollowingnamed:commissioners —John Nesbit,George Davidson,Jer- emiah Nelson,Joseph ,Sharpé ‘and‘Christopher’‘Housbin—to"lay out’thesiteforacoyntycapital.The com-missioners:selected ‘the “site”“on™ac-’count of the fine springs;so they’ bought 68 8-4 acres of land from to use the Meeting .House.spring.The site being:near the ‘old States’Road the town was called Statesville, or so says tradition.The first court was held in Duffy’s log school house about 1790.It was situated:on:the place now owned byJohnSharpe-and others,After thistheybuiltalog.court house and jail. Later_these.were replaced by betterones,(1818),The first merchant wasJohnNesbit.His old store house isstilltobeseeninthe.yard of the oldhomeplaceaboutfivemilesnorthofStatesville.The first mill in Iredell was ownedby_-William-Morrison and was’sit- uated.on Third creek,south of Loray.Only one post of it stands now to lo-cate the spot.This old mill.wasservingthe-public-as—early—as—1762,and the people of the vicinity of FortDobbsweredependentonthismill. In 1755 Arthur Dobbs took the oathofofficeasGoveroratNewBerne.HeatoncebegantolayoutplanstostopthedepredationsoftheIndiansinthewest,who had been giving the whitessometrouble.“So he sent Col.HughWaddellwithhisfrontiercompanytotreatwiththeCatawbaandCher-okees.Later Dobbs ordered Col.Wad- hosierymills,one of the big-|dell,with his company,to scout upon| ‘gest users of dyestuff in the State, ,SBys he has closed a contract with a t alo,N.Y.,manufacturer for dyes that will furnish a supply for His mills fora year or more.He has :tested the dyes and found them sat- it!ry..-Textile manufacturers—_in 0 Carolina and other States have ‘Ween handicapped on account of the scarcity of dyes and it is hoped that the home manufacturers of dyes will ableto—furnish ample and satis=| actory supplies.One of the benefits ‘the war will be to force us:to find some many of the things that we have heretofore believed must be ob- tdined from abroad. ~The Landmark has today an inter-esting,first hand ‘story of Billy Sun-day,the famous’evangelist,and his, meeting in Paterson,N.J.It was \‘written by an Iredell man who at- 'tended the meeting and who promisestogivelatersomeof‘the results of TEA,ohn fam allentist,settles the vine twining question with an actualstowdown,‘That is what T.E.A, tried to do-with tree limb proposition, but some of the unbelievers are not‘ed to accept:his showing. ia the edges of the mountains and upontheirreturntheysetouttofinda ost central place ‘to winter ©and to erect a barrack,and if necessarytobuildafort..The Governor found springs;situated on the-forks’ofFourthcreek(about ‘two miles north of Statesville)and-fixed-upon-that.asthemostcentralparttoassistthe settlers and to be a retreat:for them, as there were only straggling settle-ments behind them.So in the autumnof1755theybuiltthefortofoak containing three floors,from which100musketscouldbe.discharged at once.In February,1760,the Chero-kee Indians made an attack on thefortbutWhddell\drove them off withconsiderablelosstotheIndians.Tra- dition says that in later years some of the logs of the fort,were used tobuildaschoolhouseontheAdderholtplace.The D.A.R.’s have:erectedabeautifulmarkeron.the historicspot,and have made arrangements tobuy*ten acres surrounding the fort,to improve the grounds,\and.perhaps to rebuild the fort,as nearly as pos-sible like it used to be.>‘About the same year that the fort was built (1755),the settlers begantobuildtheirlogmeetinghouse.(OldFourthCreekCongregation).It wasorganizedbyRev.Hugh Spencer in 1764,or the early part of 1765,andembracedalltheinhabitantsbetweentheCatawbaandtheSouthYadkinrivers,They had no regular pastoruntil1788,when Rev.James Hall,who grew_up in their.;in-Sati tae midst,was.in. conan is niknownas_Statesville First -Presby-terian .and.:Se This.part of the sounty was then}.

JOHNSON ADMITS GUILT. The Slayer of Tom Rickert Says:He Struck the Latter Purpose-.*ly But Didn’t Intend to KillRickert—The Latter “Pickedon.Him.” Henry Johnson,the young negro section hand who ten days ago struck Tom Rickert,another negro sectionhand,a death blow with a pick,andisnowinjail,has decided to pleadguiltywhenhiscasecomestotrial.When arrested shortly after thethetragieincident,which occurred on the loeal railway yards,Johnson:ce- clared that -he struck Rickert acei- dentally,and he held to this story for several days.A few days ago,how-ever,his father,whe lives in Rowan county,visited him at the jail and he told his father,in the,presence ofJailerGilbert,that he had decided to tell the truth abour the matter and ~plead guilty.Wednesday a Land- mark reporter talked to Johnson atthejailandthelattertoldthenews- paper man that he struck Rickert purposely’and gave his reasons for so doing.% Johnson declared that Rickert had been “picking”at him ever since they had been working together,but he did not talk back to Rickert because he was afraid of him.On.one oc-easion,at a point below the Sfates- ville depot,Johnson says Rickert “gotmadwithoutcause”and.threatened to strike Johnson with a rock,whichheheldinhishand,if Johnson didn’t“shut up.”On another occasion “At Eufola,about a month ago,Johnson says Rickert started’at him with a knife on slight provueation.On both occasions,Johnson declares,he ~re- sponded to demands made by Rickert because he knew Rickert was a “bully”and--he wag afraid of him. Just why Rickert “had a spite”at him,Johnson.professes not to know. It had been intimated that.Rickertwasjealous,of Johnson on account ofRRickert’s wife,but Johnson.saystherewasno‘ground for this and de-elared that Rickert had never men- tioned his wife to him. Coming up to the morning of thekilling,Johnson said that severaltimesduringtheshortperiodthey had been at work that morning Rieck-ert had called him an unmentionablename,but he “took it”and said noth- ing’because he was afraid of Rickért. A few.minutes prior to.the .timewhen’hé strutk Rickert;Johnsdén saysheandRickertweregarrying.a crogs-tie.“Johnson stumbled and came nearfalling,chusing the tie to give Rick-ert a jolt,whereupon Rickert.cursed him violently and-agein applied.the‘vile epithet.“Even after this.inci-“dent Johnson says he-had -not;decid-ed to attack Rickert,because he wasvafraidofhimandfeltsurethat.ifhe“talked back”or made a false move Rickert would kill him,But afewminuteslaterwhenthetwomen were picking around the same tie and Johnson noticed Rickert in a stoopedposition,he.says he decided instantlythatthenwasthe¢emé for him to “get even”with Rickert for -his con- tinued abuse,’and before taking a second thought as to the conse-quences,he dealt the blow which proved fatal.“I did not mean to kill.him,”declared Johnson,“but Ididwanttohurthim.I expected to knock him down and then run away before he could hit,me,and then keep out:of his way.”:;In answer to questions Johnson.de- clared that he had never,planned tokillRickert,but that-the continnednaggingoftheoldermanhadfre-huently caused him to want to strikehim,but he was always afraid to, fight for fear of losing ais own life.Johnson hopes to get off with lightpunishmentonaccountofthese.cit-cumstances.He has never heen introuble,before,while on the contrary Rickert had been in the courts a num-ber of times to answer for various offenses.Johnson says that he wasnottheonlymanwhowasafraidof Rickert;that there are others who “took things.off him <because they were afraid of him.”Johnson is only19years-old.The man _he-killed:wasabout42.: Mr.James_A.King Dead.

Trédell Farmers Interested inSilos—The Advantage of Si- lage and SmallCost.of Con:structing Silos.. ‘Correspondence of The’Landmark, + “1.Much.interest ‘is being shown in ‘silo building in this county since the beginning of operations ‘by our own ¢o-operative creamery,The farmer aré learningthe“need of more humus ‘in the soil,the cause of its depletion. (cotton)and the remedy for this con- dijion--dairy farming.They are al- ‘$0 learning that by the usual method of handling corn 40 per cent of its ‘ood value is not saved and in years like the last one a much greater per cent is wasted,: “Besides saving what.would other- wise.be wasted the silo keeps.the /feed_in a.much more palatable and sasily digested,condition.Summer fead is thus maintained throughout the winter season when the milk sup- oly ordinarily.decreases and when prices of dairy products are at their est.Winter feeding is more ex- pensive and less productive becausé the less,palatable.dry,concentrated feeds are generally “depended upon, Beeause of its succulence,-silage has a beneficial effect on the’digestive system..Two and one-half to three ‘tina of silage are equivalent in feed- ing value to a ton er hay and may he stored in less than half the space required by the latter....More.cattle etin-be kept on a given amount of land with silage,and there is the addi- tional advantage that after the crop ig stored the feeder is in no,way de- frendent upon the weather conditions. A few other advantages of silage may be given in brief:It keeps stock thrifty all winter and enables cows to produce milk and butter more economically.It is more convenient- ly handled than dry fodder and leaves no aggravating corn stilks in ‘the manure.Palatable yood is made of stuff that would otherwise not be eat- en.Feed may be put up at a time when drying is next to impossible.

Sometimes a pastor in one of these sweak fields ~develops unexpected strength,attracts attention by.the work he is doing,and pretty soon he goes to a city church. iAt the recent meeting of the South-ern Presbyterian General Assembly s weak and vacant churches in each "Presbytery‘!The’Landmatk ‘has Jong thought that is the solution of the problem of upbuilding the Churchimtheruraldistricts.~~est men to the weakest fields.Collect money enough outside to pay them _ @-living salary,but let the strong ~men understand that if they have directed zeal for the Lord is ¢they)will make @ sac-and do Pee aes where theit. are most.needed.The strong not fancy exchanging the churches,where he fares ,commands a big salary a pretty comfortable time, the small and weak congregation in an isolated community,where there are no modern conveniences and no social life.But if:it is the Lord’s| work he is concerned about he will 4find his talents:can be well employ- ed in the rural regions.The well- organized and ‘strong city churches ean’get on very well,for a time at Jeast,with a mediocre man;but where an organization is to be built up,it takes a strong man for the work. “Another thing:Let the denomina-|‘ tions cultivate enough breadth and sufficient zeal for the Lord along with the zeal fora particular denomina- )tion,to enable them to-agree on a ,sort of division of territory and quit the practice of establishing a church where they find a handful of their feith and no raw material to work on.

Pleading guilty in Wake Superior Court “of second degree mufder and receiving from Judge Daniels the full limit of the law,30 years in the State prison,Dowd Baucom,an old-time colored man,made a statement to the court and more especially to the as- sembled crowd ‘of negroes that was the most remarkable in many re- spects ever heard in the Wake court, says the Raleigh correspondent ofthe Charlotte Observer.He told the court that he killed June Connelly for the special purpose of impressing on peo-ple of his race generally that they could not do as he claimed Connelly had done,without.suffering the con- sequences;that’he killed him delib- erately and that his regret was that he failed to kill Will Johnson,who he claimed was an accomplice of Con-rod in mistreating and defrauding im.Baucom is nearly 70 yars old.He told the court he had 30 acres oflandthathehadturnedovertoCon-nelly with the pnderstanding that Connelly would take care of him theremainderofhislife,He said Con- nelly mistreated him in the meanest way,half clothing and half feeding him and borrowing money from him that he would not repay.This spring they rented some lahd on which theyweretocroptogether.and after the crop was in Connelly,and Johnson set about to force him out of the sharing of the crop.He said he,bore this treatment until it became intolerable and.he’believed that,the people of his race needed to have an example of the consequences.of such mean- ness.He-went,to Clayton.and bought a shotgun and returning home he found Connelly working in the field they had rented under conditions:that-showed his purpose to defraud him.So he hid in a gully and as Connelly came along he arose,reminded him of the treat- ment—he had-suffered at:his hands and shot him dead.Then he went,to the home of Will Johnson,hid John-son’s gun and later found Johnsonsittingbythefirewithothersofthefamily.He said he got a range on him that would not endanger any of the others,and shot him,but the loadtookeffectinhisarm.Johnson ran, He saw some one run by a windowandfiredathimbutitwasthewrongman.~Then he saw Johnson dash outthroughthebackdoorandshothim again,but did not kill him.He wassorryhedidn’t.He did not |know whether he would shoot just as ‘he’iad,if he had’the thing to,go through with again.but he thought that very probably he would.;‘The;old-negro told Judge Daniels: in reply to questions,that he thoughtthewholematteroutcarefullybe-fore he shot either of the two andbecameconvincedthatheowedittoothermembersofhisraceto__showthemtojustwhatterribleendssuch meanness as his victims were guiltysaidhetealiz-ed:that probably {he}would have:togototheelectricchair,but that heconsideredthatthelessonthatoth-ers of his race might learn fromthe.case would.make the ~sacrificeworthwhile.He thanked:the judgeprofuselyforgivinghimthe30-years’sentence,which is evidentlymorethanalifesentence,on accountofhisage.j‘After his statement and question-ing by the court,the old negro turn- ed to the big crowd of negroes in the court house and gave them a sound lecture on honesty and right living and the great need that hewarnedthemtherewasforthene- groes of this country to live morehonestanduprightlivesandfulfillobligationstheyassumed.He re-gretted that so few could be,depend-ed upon to keep their promises andtreattheir.fellows’honestly.The old negro proved a high char-acter for honesty and as having ledanindustriouslife.He had a bankaccountof$700,besides the 30 acresoflandthathehadgiventotheCon- nelly negro,with the understandingthathewouldtakecareofhiminhis old age. The old fellow was fotrunate ingettingoffwithhislife,for accord- ing to his’own:statement:he wasguiltyofpremeditatedmurder,.but doubtless the provocation was.con-sidered;and if his statement is truehedeservedconsideration.—_——British Government Made No Effort to Protect Lusitania. ‘Al flotilla of British torpedo boats and--destroyers was lying in*Queens- town harbor while the Lusitania was being sunk a few miles away,accord- ing to F,J.Gauntlett,of Washing- ton,D.C.,an official of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry DockCompanyanda_Lusitania survivor,who reached .New York on the Amer-ican liner Philadelphia last .week.Mr.Gauntlett,who brought backthebodyofA.L.Hopkins,presidentoftheNewportNewsCompany,whowaslostontheLusitania,was bitteragainsttheBritishgovernmentand immediately upon his.return consult- ed with counsel ‘about bringing a suit against the Cunard Company.“I was..dumfounded on.reachingQueenstown,”said Mr,Gauntlett,“tofindaflotillaofserviceabletorpedo boats and destroyers,secure and snugintheharborwiththeircrewslollingabouttheirdecks,while German sub-marines wete blowing up~.Englishships°a’few miles away.“The flotilla:-was in-command of.a superannuated officer.I made it mybusinesstohunthimupandaskhimwhyhewasn’t outside doing some-{thing.He said he was under admir-alty orders not to risk ‘his boats.”—_—_—___;Billous Attacks, When yott have’a billows attack your liverfailsto’perform its functions.You, constipated.The food you eat fermefits inyourstomachinsteadofdigesting.This in-|flames the stomach and tcauses nausea,vom-iting and a terrible headache.Take’Cham-berlain's Tablets;They..will tone up.your.|liver,clean out your stomach 'and you will be as’well as ever.Thuarter.|Obiat tee:cost -business:” THE STEEL PEOPLE SAFE.Be octCourtFindsthe “Had Been DoingQuit.:heAtTrenton,N.J,last weeknile United States -District Court for,: Jersey handed down a our decision refusing the petition of the Federal government to ;; United States Steel Corporation.| As against the government ‘the court refused to dissolve the Corpor. ation,holding that in acquiring’its foreign and home trade the concern did not violate the Sherman.anti* trust act,and all injunctions asked by the Department of Justice were refused,::\As against the Steel Corporation the court held that the committee meetings ‘participated in by 95.per cent.of the steel trade of the coun- try,including the Steel Corporation bsequent to the famous Gary din- ides of eight or nine years ago,‘were unlawful fombinations to kontro! prices;but as these meetings had stopped before the government filed its complaint in October,1911,;the judges held that there was no occa; sion’for an injunction.The opinion of the court suggests that such prac- tices lie within the province of the new Federal Trade Commission,but adds that if their repetition is .ap- prehended:the court will,on,motionofthegovernment,retain jurisdic- tion of the case for that particularpurpose.;‘‘With regard to the government charge that the Steel Corporation had monopolistic control of ore re- sources,the court said that all thebasicplantsoftheSteelCorporation are inland and dependent+on Lake Superior ores,while the Atlanticgteelcompanies—Bethlehem,Penn- sylvania and Maryland —have un-limited supplies of Cuban and other ores at water freights.Whe court found nothing.wrong.in the steel corporation acquiring the TennesseeCoal—and-fron--Companyduringthefinancialpanicof1907andthusvirtuallyapprovestheattitudeoftheRooseveltadministration—innotinterferingwiththat—deal.~~OnthispointthecourtheldthattheoutputofTennesseeatthetimewas only 1.7 per cent.of the country’stotaloutput;that up to that time it had not been a business.success;that its principal product,rails,was made at a loss;that its ultimate successwasdoubtfulandinvolvedafurtheroutlayof$25,000,000 and ‘that the purchase of the Tennessee.property. as well as of several other steel con-cerns earlier ‘in the history of thebigcorporation,was made,in.fairbusinesscourseandwas“the,honest exertion of one’s right to,contractfor.one’s benefit.unaccompanied ..bya.wrongful motive.to:injure,others.”With.regard,to.Andrew.Carne-gie,.whom:the.government,.chargedwas4partytothe“unlawful com- bad But Had Boge that ‘hei accepted anyother relationinthe.formation:.of the steel’car- poratiom than that of seller of stocks andclaredto,be-;statement that terests.in a,hazards a -;,true;Mr.;Carnegie’shedisposedofhisin-ire to retire from iheresponsibilitiesofactive Erasing Marks of -War-—Crops Growing in Devastated Fields.

The President,it is said,stands on the principle that the Unitéd Statesatthisstageinitshistorycannot afford to surrender any of its rights; that the American people had fought in 1812 for their rights on the high seas and could not sacrifice those rights with the —natiori’s rise and growth to a position of command as a Hjch officials generally hold the view that Mr.Bryan’s statement con- stituted a virtual surrender of Amer- ican rights guaranteed not only by in- ternational law,but by specific treat- ies.between the United’States and Germany.|Mr.Bryan's suggestionthat,Americans do not take passage on American ships carrying ammuni- tion was in direct conflict,it was pointed out,with the treaty of 1828,between Prussia and the.UnitedStates,wherein either party in tinie of war is given the right to free ac- ‘eess to belligerent ports .fqx com-meree in_arms and ammunition and yther contraband.Moreover,the tight of an American citizen to sail on an unarmed and unresisting mer- chant ship ef any nationality in.timeofwarisheldbythePresidentandhisadviserstobeaninalienablepriv- ilege founded on the internationallaw.of centuries.tyThePresident's view is wnderstood .to.be that a new weapon of offense inwarfaye.can be introduced:only if it_is made to conform with the generat-ly established rules of internationallawexisting.The conditions of warmay.change but not the rules sof war, unless ther@ ig,a,general agreementamongtheNationswhichcontributedtothemakihgofinternational.Jaw...Mr.Wilson,it is said,is not oppos-ed to the idéa of an investigation or diplomatic dlgctission of-cases in-dis-pute between Germany and the Unit- ed States,but feels that before suchastepcanbetakensomeguaranty must be given that in the interim of discussion the lives of American citi- zens will not be jeopardized and thattheUnitedStateswillnotbe‘required to yield any of its rights while the discussion is under -way. It is the repetition of attacks onAmerican.vessels or-lives,which thePresident.believes must be prevented by an assertion of the rights of the United States and the attainment of Germany’s acquiescence in that point of view before diplomatic negotiation .on the subject can continue.

No treaty was actually éntered intowithGermany.but I cannot see that that should stand in the way when both nations endorsed:the principle.

The conservative people of the “eountry,whether they have or have -Mot been supporters of Mr.Bryan, will generally admit that when he ould:not conscientiously agree with President’s coutse in the German Situation,it was proper for him to resign;but there will be general dis- “agreement with Mr.Bryan’s course in placing his own views before the ‘“publie ahd starting,an agitation in opposition to the President.In view of the delicate situation,it is hard to find justification for Mr.Bryan’s seemingly unnecessary,attempt at this time to vindicate himself.

The purpose of the gathering this evening,ladies and gentlemen,is tointroduceyoutothefly;to give you a more intimate acjusintance with his manners and habits,which will give you.an idea of what intimate associa- tion with him may mean for you.The subject isn't a nice one;it isn’t an agreeable feast to which you are in- vited;‘but the information you willgatherwillbeoftheutmostimport- ance.The fly will continue his inti-mate association with.you unless heisdrivenout.and his”habitation.de- stroyed.Ignorance of the danger may give you a little more peace of mind,but it increases the danger ofphysicalillsandalltheyentail.Mostpeoplewouldbehorrifiedandfeel utterly disgraced to have a buzzardinthe-house;and yet a buzzard would probably be less dangerous to thehouseholdthanthefliesthatswarm about the average home.Attend!the meeting,this evening and get information for self-protec- tion;take an interest and help on the movement to make Statesville aflylesstown—not as a fad but for the protection of the community,especial- ly the children.Where flies swarm disease spreads.That is admitted;it can’t be denied.It is an insult to in- telligence to talk about the danger of disease and the necessity for prevent- inig it. “Then get busy about the’flies;and begin to get busy by absorbing some information that.will help-you.

The Landmark has had no patience “THE MOBS AND FRANK. it.That paper says: summoned from an adjoining ‘coun-ty when requested,is a good one. for the swaying,of juries and thisplanpracticallyavoidssuchacondi- hon,evaTtisagoodJaw,Its author is Mr. Victor §.Bryant’of Durham,who secured its enactment while he was in’the State Senate a few years ago. So far as we can recall,this is thesecondtimethelawhasbeeninvolved since it was enacted,but as it be- comes better understvod its value will be appreciated and it will be more frequently used in cases where local feeling would play an important part. Not only are jurors from other coun- ties more unbiased because they are unfamiliar with local conditions,but the new arrangement prevents law- yers selecting ‘jurors for ‘personal reasons.Very often a lawyer de- pends for his success.in.winning a case on selecting jurors who will take his side regardless.

Few people will be gnwilling to be activein the anti-fly campaign if they are thoroughly aroused to the.un- speakabloness of the flies,To arouse them a campaign of education is nec- essary—such an exhibition.as that-at the court house Friday night.It’s a pity so few people saw that exhibi- tion;that more:did not take an ‘in- terest in so important a,matter.If all Statesville could have seen the fly as it was portrayed at this show- ing,this town would very soon be a flyless town.But those who did see and those who are impressed must be the more active until a sentiment is ereated that will make it as disgrace- ful to have flies in the house as to have bedbugs and lousy.children; and neither of these pests are asdangerousasflies.
