The statute under which the Alex- ander road bonds were voted also pro-vides that the bonds shall run:35 and40years.Thé representative of thebondbuyers,when he got to the point of submitting his bill in writing,putinthisprovision:“Bunds to mature inannualinstallmentsasourattorneys may approve.”Of course the com:missioners refused to agree to’this, and the trade was off.The impression has gone out that several favorable bids for the Alex-ander road bonds.have been.turneddown--without.good reason,and it hasbeenintimatedthatsomefolkswhodidnotwantthebondsissuedwere preventing their sale.The Landmarkisadvisedthatwhileseveralbidders have offered par and accrued interest for the bonds,they have always.in- New Attorney Takes Oath— Cases on Motion Docket— Changed Sentences in State w Cases, Judge Lane opened Iredell Supe: rior Court Friday and heard cases on the motion docket that day,court ad- journing for the term Friday after- noon.

proaching a branch is reached,Mr. Corbin evidently lost control.of his machine.Judging from the tracks of the car he made the curve in safety, but when he turned back toward the inside of the road he ran too clo to the bank.The machine was thesteeredbacktotheothersideofthe road and ran close to the edge of the embankment,and the next turn threw it back to the other side of the road and over the embankment.The.front wheel struck the top of the concre*e culvert and the car turned a somer- sault and landed bottom-side up acrass the branch ten feet below,catching’ both occupants.beneath it.Mr.Corbin was pinned face down- ward in the branch,his head almost being covered by water,while Mr. Simpson landed in the wet sand a foot or two from the water and was hel) fast.Mr.Simpson seys that as soo as he recovered from the shock he observed that Mr.Corbin was _per- fectly still.He called to him but re- ceived no reply.As quickly as possi- ble Mr.Simpson dug the sand from around his own body and managed to crawl from beneath the machine.He attempted to lift the car sufficiently to pull Mr.Corbin out,but found his strength unequal to the task.Climb- ing up the bank he ran back along the road toward the home of Mr.Leckie. calling for help...Mr.Leckie and.a colored farm hand heard his calls and ran to his assistance.'Mrs.C.S.Tom- lin and Miss Charley Tomlin,out rid- ing in their touring car,with their servant,George Tomlin,at the wheel, also arrived on the scene about the same time and the four men present urned the car over and took .Mr. rbin’s body from the branch.Life was extinct.a uot : »Just about ‘the time Mr.Corbin’s ‘body was taken from beneath the car Dr.Harding of Yadkin county,who was motoring toward Statesville,ar- rived at the scene of the tragedy and jmmediately examined the body.He found no spark of life and was of the opinion that death had been instan- taneous.Mr.Simpson was also exam- ined and found to be only -slightly bruised.After ascertaining that he éould be of no further service Dr. Harding hurried on to Statesville and reported,the accident to Sheriff Dea- ton.The sheriff and other officers, accompanied by Undertaker Nichol- gon,went to the scene immediately and took charge of the body.After hearing the statements of Mr.Simp- gon ‘and.those first at the scene after the accident,it was decided that no

The discovery,through the efforts of Judge Long,of a record showing that.the late:Miss Margaret MitclHell of Statesville had years before herdeathpurchasedthesiteoccupiedby her father’s grave on Mt.Mitchell,as reported in ‘the last issue of The Landmark,is of great importance.The will of Miss Mitchell,STAs by Mr.R.B.McLaughlin of Statesville, made’no mention of this property, and it is supposed that Miss Mitchell regarded it asa cemetery site.How-ever that may be,the site on Mt.Mitchell's peak was hers and it rfow —who can make such disposition of it as they choose.The State is try-ing to buy the Jand,including the top of Mt.Mitchell.to preserve:it asapark,and it would be the handsomethingfortheMitchellheirstogive this property to the State on condi-tion that the State preserve the grave of Dr.Mitchell. It was stated in the report of JudgeLong’s discovery of the deed to MissMitchellthatMrs.Alice T.ConnallyofAshevilleclaimedtheownershipoffiveacresofland,including the top of Mt.Mitchell and the Mitcheli grave,and had been trying'to sell ittotheStatefor$10,000.In a card in ithe-Asheville Citizen Hon.RichmondPearson,brother-in-law of Mrs.Con- nally has never claimed title to thelandonwhichtheMitchellgraveis located;that the deed from V.S.

Mitchell;that while she has never of, fered to sell to the State nor fixedaprice,her attorney,J.W.Pless,hadtalkedtotheGovernorseveraltimes about disposing of the property to the State and that he placed a very high value on the land—“too high in my opinion,”says the Governor,“to be considered.” Will Condemn Connally Land. The Asheville Citizen says that atameetingofMitchell’s Peak Park commission,held at Burnsville a fewdaysago,a deal was.closed for 508 ‘acres of land on Mt.Mitchell at $5per.acre.This includes all the land desired:by the State except the five acres owned by Mrs.Connally,and the price named for this by Mrs.Connal-ly’s attorney was considered so highthatthecommissionrefusedtoac- cept it.Condemnation proceedings will be brought to ‘acquire the five acres.Two commissioners have al- ready been named and they will naine a third.The 508 acres bought are owned by four.different interests or individuals.:John O’Donnell,of.Ashe-ville,who owned 100 acres,offered to give his land to the State if the oth- ers would do likewise,but the others didn’t see it that way.

Ayers,for beating a ride on a train,they having come into town on a west-bound freight.Later in the eve- ing they were taken before 'Mayor Caldwell,who,after hearing —their “hard luck”story,released them.The young men claimed they were trying to get to their homes in Canton,Hay- wood county,and being without mon- ey to pay railroad fare they had de- cided to try to “beat it”home.Having heard of the great demand for laborandthehighpricespaidatthebig powder plant at City Point,Va.,the boys left their homes.at Canton,they said,and went to City Point:They found hundreds of men standing about the gates of the’powder company’s plant waiting for jobs.After spend- ing ten days at City Point the young men said they were still without jobs and to make matters worse they were about out of money.It was not until then,they declared,that they decidedtotrytobeattheirwaybackhome. The young fellows did not have the appearance of professional hobos and their story was accepted.

Good Food,Music at Meals andLittleWork—Casper’s De-scription of Leavenworth Pris- on,$ ’The Landmark doesn’t want to.start folks trying to break into the Rederal prison at Leavenworth,Kan.,but the following description of the place, written by John L.Casper toa “friend in Winston-Salem,and published -in the Winston-Salem papers,shows that the modern prison is quite a comfort- able place.Says~Casper:?“I don’t see anything wrong withtheLeavenworthprisonexceptbeinglockedinacellfrom6:30 to 7 a.m: This i8 a city within itself.By that,it is meant that the prisoners make practically everything that they use. “This is a clean place and just as up-to-date as some of the hotels.The dining-room is superb,and music is dispensed by large United States band during meal hours.The rations are first-class,and-cause a man to put onweight.I think regulations in —the way of sleeping and eating will make me feel younger at.the expiration ofmytime.*“We have a half holiday each Sun- day,and motion pictures half a day during each week.We have a large library.Dental and medical services as well as spectacles ,are-free here. There are’no striped clothes.The or- dinary laborers wear blue o¥eralls.I am a clerk in the clothing store and am classed as an office man.All office mén wear blue pin-striped jackets, and have all privileges accorded a first-class prisoner.There are 12 men in our department,all nice fel- lows.;; “We only work about half the time except during a rush,when a lot of prisoners come in and are to be fitted out.We get baths and shaves whenneeded.I expect to do faithful work so that in the course of 30 days I cangetoutofacellandhaveabedin one of the dormitories,where I will have a dozen fellows as company.S.L.Williams is my cell-mate,and he has a clerical job in the record clerk’s office.It is a good place. “Tara only allowed to write every 15.days,and receive visits “from rel- atives and friends every 14 days.But pression are so numerous and g any time.-No papers or magazines will be delivered at all unless sent -bythepublishersthemselves.I am al- lowed to purchase here any kind of to- bacco but ‘none can be sent.by’mail.All letters are delivered’after ‘being read and resealed by the mail clerk on duty in the prison postoffice.Postal cards to reach me must be addressed in care of postoffice box No.7,Leav-enworthy Kan.” Now -isn’t that a fine retreat?Everything ‘furnished frée.~Goodmeals,music while you eat-and littleworktodo.Casper tried hard to keep out of that prison..He.wroteCol.Fairbrother that.he didn’t want to go to the penitentiary.at his “time of life,”which the colonel said might mean that he wouldn’t worry if.he was a younger man.Judging by the tone of Casper’s letter one wouldthink-he now sees.that.he wouid have missed something good’if he had:eseaped the Federal prison.And why not?That prison,as described by Casper,would be a fine rest re-treat.for a broken down man.The only objection he has to the place is that he is locked in a cell-at night,and even that requirement disappears af-ter 30 days if the prisoner.is of goodbehaviour.But for the stain on one’scharacter—to have it said to his de- scendants of unborn generations that he had done time-in the penitentiary— there are a good many.folks -who would welcome a sojourn in a retreat, like that Casper:describes ‘at Leaven- worth—and would be in no hurry to get out.

In the case which went.to the highest court,Samuel J.Campbell had pur-.chased two'mileage books,each in hisownname.They were presented fortransportationfor..Campbell and_his wife,from'Greenville,S.C.,to Greens-boro,N.C...Because neither book was whom |transportation was desired,the rail- “ye “the. te mileage book pay road people declared them forfeited under the provisions under which they were sold.Campbell went to law and the Gas@ reached-the highest court. The coi nt held in Campbell’s favor on é ound that whilo the railroad con- tract ‘as to sale provided the mileagebookwastobeforfeited.if.presentedbyanotherthanthepersoninwhose “name it was

examination,made a dead failure;yet he is to teach school again.And.these facts are well known,yet there seems no redress.In the other case,a woman.teacher, with,excellent certificates,expected, up fo

Joseph Hillstrom was Shot to death at Salt Lake City,Utah,early Fri- day morning.Shooting is the legalmethodofinflictingthedeathpenaltyinUtah'and Hillstrom was executed after due conviction of the murder of J:.G.Morrison and Morrison’s:son, in Morrison’s store in Salt Lake City in January,1914.The evidence was that two masked men.entered.the store and opened fire on Morrison,who was killed.The latter’s two sons were present and one of these fired on the visitors-and was.in turn..killed.Themenescaped,dne being wounded.Hill- strom called on a doctor-to dress a wound,saying he had-received it in-a ftght.and wanted nothing said about it.When the doctor heard of.the kill- ing of the Morrisons he told.about Hillstrom,who was arrested.The evidence accumulated ‘against him was pretty conelusive and he was con- victed.While he denied his guilt to the last he refused to offer any ex-planation of how —he received hiswound.Hillstrom was a Swede and a member of the L.W.W.—the latter an organization of labor agitators ~whose only apparent mission is to stir up trouble.The labor organizations and some of Hillstrom’s countrymen be- gan an agitation to save him from the death penalty.At the request of the Swedish minister at Washington Pres- ident Wilson asked Gov.Spry.of Utah to reprieve Hillstrom,and the request Was granted.But the Governor and State pardon board said no evidence was presented that.warranted.inter- ference with the sentence of the courts. The case attracted nation-wide atten- tion,and as is usuallv the case.under these conditions,both appeals and threats were made in behalf of Hill- strom.The Governor’s life was threatened.On account of numerous requests made td him,President.Wil- son asked the Utah Governor,the day before the execution,to reconsider. The Governor declined.The only ex- case offered in behalf of Hillstrom was that he did not have a fair trial,but so far as The Landmark knows no_evidence was_offered to ‘sustain this charge.As this paper sces it.the Governor of Utah and the people on the ground were the best judges of the situation;and if they believed the man was fuilty and deserved death,as they evidently did,they.are to he commended for refusing to yield to public clamor.; PONYPe ETSFEREITLT Would Bring China Into the Combination.

A few things done by the hazers during the present term are:Water thrown on a Student,while in:bed; beds thoroughly wet before student vetires at night;tar put in bed,mak- ing it necessary,at least in ‘one case, to cut covering to get it off;students are made to bend over a chair and be strapped with a leather strap;a part of,the hair is cut from top of the head;making it-necessary for studenttohavetheheadclipped.In one case@-razor -was used and a part of headshaved.The razor in this particular case belonged to the student who washazedandwascarriedoffbythehaz<ers,presumably to shave some otherfreshman.;The above are some of the forms vriation of hard cash,paid jnto ourStateandnationaltreasuriesbyourtaxpayers.The‘student,hazed is no- tified to be very careful and say no-thing.to the authorities,and only one, so far as I know,has reported”anyon2.This freshman reported two.stu-dents,these two being all that,were recognized,as the hazers wear masks.Recent information,which is reliable,savs these two worthy.students,wheviedged.themselves last year.tozeth-er with the other students,to do nohazingthisyear,are still in:college._The above are facts easily verified,TU know they are not brieht picturestofathersandmotherswhosonsincollege,nor to our young men ofworth;but this conditiow will con-tinue to exist until the barbarous ele-ment in our own A.and M.College issenthome..The better class of students do not engage in this demoralizing.practice, and the better element of our youngmenwillnot.meekly submit to suckusage,;The burning question is:Shall wecontinuetoappropriatemoneyourpublicfundstoeducatethe. the bettertreatment these inferiors,sée fit to give them,or stay atand-help make the money to pay the college bills?.:Father and mother,is your son afreshmanAskhimBihehasbeenzed..N.PAINE.Statesville,Nov.29.
