VOL.XLII. Scotterrete STATESVILLE,N.C.,FRIDAY,SEPTEMBER 8,1915.:bee NOLL IT SEEMS TO BE ALL OVER, Germany Says No More Liners Will Be Sunk Without Warn- ing—Had Decided That Course Before the Arabic Incident. Strained relations between the United States and Germany over the submarine warfare apparently passed into.history Wednesday when CountBernstorff,the German ambassador,informed Secretary Lansing in writ- ing that prior to the sinking of theArabiehis.government had decided its submarines should sink no more liners without warning. Oral assurances to that effect had been given by the ambassador ‘last week;but it was not ‘until Count Bernstorff,after a call at the State Department Wednesday,returned to the embassy and sent a letter to Mr. Lansing quoting instructions from Berlin concerning an answer to bemadetotheJastAmericannoteon the sinking of the Lusitania that of- ficials frankly.admitted their grati- fication over the changed position oftheImperialgovernment.Secretary:Lansing said in a for- mal statement that the letter “ap- pears to be a recognition of the fun- damental principle for which we have contended.”He immediately sent the communication to the White House. Everywhere in administration circles there was «visible relaxation of the tension which had existed ever since the Lusitania tragedy,though lessen-ed by the earlier assurance of Count Bernstorff and advices from Ambas- sador Gerard as to the attitude of of- ficials in Berlin.The next step,itis stated authori- tatively,will be a formal communica- tion from the German government, disavowing the destruction of the Arabie and tendering regret and re- paration for American lives lost.in the disaster if the attack was made by a German submarine.Even if the submarine.which torpedoed the liner subsequently was sunk by a Britishman-of-war,as has been -suggestedbothfromBerlinandLondon,the Berlin foreign office is expected |to send its disapproval as soon as a rea- sonable time has passed without a re- port from its commander. The last report stated that the German submarine which torpedoedtheArabichadnotreportedatthe home base and it is possible it wassunkbyaBritishboat. Once the situation growing out of the Arabic incident has been disposed of,the response to the tong unanswer-ed American note on the Lusitania will be.dispatched,and if Germany’s explanations and proposals in this case are accepted by the United States,it is expected that the way will be cleared for:a complete under- standing between,the two rovern-»metits on the subject of freedom of “the seas.‘In’German circles it is fréely:ied? ‘thitted that.in Berlin a hope prevailsthatSuchanundprstandingwouldbe ‘followed by insistent action by the United States.to stop interferenceswithneutralcommercebyGreatBrit- ain and her allies which prevent Ger- many from importing food suppliesforhercivilpopulation. Count Bernstorff’s letter,which’re- vealed for the first time that Germany had prepared an answer to the Lusi- tania note which was about to be dis- patched when the Arabic was destroy-' ed,follows: “My Dear Mr.Seerctary:With reference to our conversation of this morning I beg to inform you that -my—instructions.concerning our -an-swer to your last Lusitania note con- tains the following passage: “Liners will not be sunk by oursubmarinéswithoutwarningand without safety of the lives,of non- combatants,provided that the liners do not try to escape or offer resist- ance.’ “Although I know that you ©do not wish to discuss the LusitaniaquestiontilltheArabicincident:has been definitely and satsifactorilysettled,I desire to inform you of the above because this policy.of my gov-ernment was.decided on before the Arabic incident occurred, “T have no objection to your mak- ing any use you may please of the above.information. “T-remain,.my dear Mr.Lansing, “Very sincerely yours,J.BERNSTORFEF.”‘Seeretary Lansing interpreted “lin- er”as used in the letter to mean all peaceful merchant ships..Later in informal conversation the German ambassador explained that regular passenzer vessels were meant.There seemed to be no disposition,however, to question the intention of the Berlin government to grant the fundamentaldémandsoftheUnitedStatesandoffi- cials were inclined to wait for the for- mal communication without discuss-|¥ ing the meaning of terms.

Have not had an opportunity to ex- amine full text of the bill,but have written*Senator Hollis for a copy and hope to do so later,I want to suggest to the farmers that it will be the part of wisdom not to sign petitions endorsing the Hol- lis bill but to sign petitions urging Congress to enact a law providing for the establishment of rural credit institutions,with government back- ing,through which farmers can.ob- tain money for constructive purposes, secured by real estate,on long time) and at a low rate of interest;and also money for productive purposes,on personal security,for one year or less,at a reasonable rate of interest, not exceeding the legal rate in any State.‘:ef‘Any law that fails to provide for short time foans on personal collat- eral,the same to be used only for pro-ductive purposes—making and_har- vesting crops—will fall far short of meeting the needs of agriculture orofdoingjusticetothefarmers.InfactIdoubtthewisdomandsafety| to farmers of a law providing only,for long time loans on real-estate atthelegalrateofinterest.My opin-|ion is that very few of the agricul-| tural States have even as low a legal|rate of interest as North Carolina| has;and yet the‘average profits of|agriculture fall under’5 per cent per| annum.;ey | It should be nemembered that \the|purposes for which long.time loans! are limited are constructive rather}than productive-and’wilf not as a rule}increase.the revenue fromthe farm.|If under p-esent conditions farmers! are unable to pay off mortgages ‘and| } are losing the ownership of the small|total annual wages of one hundred {¥Less than one!farms at tlie ‘rate of 60,000 farms a’year,and tenantry and landlordism are rapidly increasing,how will long time loans at the legal rate of inter-| est,to be used only for constructivepurposes—how will such loans help,the farmer to get rid of the mortgage| and get out of debt?It is true that he will be given more time but theinterestratewillnotbelowered.if we may presume that.outstanding landland mortgages draw only the le- gal rate.i The Land Loan Associations and the Land Banks are all right,but this provide for the.loaning of money to:any,poor farmer who can putiup afy! kind of personal security thatvis‘safe,| the money to be used only to meet}Forining Sxporises in ‘making and“har-| rvesting his crops.As @ matter ‘of |detail,the money should remain with!the association and be “paid to the,farmer -on monthly.instalments.just| as he needs it.{The rate of interest on these shorttimeloansshouldnotexceedthele-|gal rate.'The rate of interest on long |time:loans ought not to exceed 4 ‘per,cent and certainly not ‘over 5 per Atthis:low interest rate ‘such aninstitution:would be of great bene-fit to the farmers who are ;alreadymortgagedtothe‘limit of their.in- comes;and would enable those who| had saved up ménmey to borrow more! and invest in a home or improvements without.jeopardizing the whole.The Hollis bill as outlined by Mr.Stephenson makes no.provision forshorttimecreditsonpersonalcollat-eral.Therefore,I fail to see thegroundsofMr.Stephenson’s optimis-tic conclusion that the farmers wouldbeabletodobusiness.on a cash basis.

The announcements followed meet- ings that occupied the ‘time of the board and Mr..MciAdoo most two days.Although when the Secretaryoriginallyproposeddeposits:of gov-ernment funds in Southern reserve banks alone,mahy.months ago,the vlan was not favored by several mem-bers of the board,it was not opposed during the recent discussions.Somemembersindicated,however,that.asthetotalcottoncropprobablywould be worth..about $800.000,000 they did not.think $30,000,000 would go far toward handling it.Formal orders designating the Fed- eral réserve banks of Richmond.At- lanta and Dallas as government de-positaries were signed Saturday at the Treasury Department and prepa- ration made for dispatching from United States sub-treasuries.$15,000,- 000 in gold to be used in aiding cot-ton producers.Each bank is to receive$5,000,000.

Oné could almost.think,from the re- ports of his honor’s remarks,that he had.sore.doubt whether a lynching had actuallyagenrred in Cobb county. While the ‘whole business—the charge .and‘the.pretended investiga- ‘tion—was a itravesty,’we can’t be too hard on his honor and the grand jurors.Public sentiment in Cobb nty,Ga.,evidently sustained the 2 shéers,and if the*men who hung _Frank had-béen indicted they could |. -not-havebeen convicted in that county whprobably Hiet-anywherein Georgia. one could think more of the judge if he had spoken out boldly against lynching,ag’it was his duty to do;if he’had told the citizens of ‘Cobb county the inevitable result of such lawlessness.The end would have been’the ‘santé,so far as the work of the grand jury was concerned,but his honor would have done his duty,have ‘maintained his-self-respect and.his ‘might have had some beneficial HN for dn fits eG tyamiateis“BUSINESS REVIVAL. *From all parts of the country come ports wf better business,either tual or prospective.In some lines’of :se the timproved business ¢dnii- a are not.yet apparent,but.the weneral prospect seems more hopeful in at any time since the ar began.Newsqof :8aNorge hres ‘o more is talk of an alleged busi-depression taken seriously inAlmost.daily announce-| nents of developments in varastriallinesareaoetidote for-such talk;and pessinilstic expressions---goncerning business os are be-coming few and far between.in these:parts.There have been a few whowouldfainhavelefttheimpressionthatallmightnotbewellwiththe tton mill industry,which is the big- of any single factor in Greens-|‘oro’s industrial ‘life.A quietus willjnowbeputupontheexpressionsof_these by an important announcement-which comes from the Revolution Cot-~“ton mills,of which E,Sternberger is-_-president.Se-Continuing the News says Revolu- tion mill is to build)an additional Warehouse at a-cost of about $30,000;that the mill has just completed anadditionthatwillabout‘double its Capacity,at a:cost of about $300,000, _.while the additional machinery for~the mill cost ‘above:$200,000.Here are outlays for one mill that mean &@ cost of more than a half million dollars.This is just one instance that shows how:the current is run- ning.Throughout the country gen- ‘erally there.seems to be good ‘hope, based ona good foundation,that an actual business revival is on.If a -fair price’can be obtained for the cotton crop it will be a material fac- tor in helping on the good work. 5 SRE RE OAT FTE CEITOE aero in- >A question that has come up -for discussion is whether Burke county ‘was naméd'for Edmund Burke,the “eminent English statesman,or,for -<Gov;Thos:Burke of North-Carolina. Wheeler's “history,long an accepted authority,says the county was nam- ed for thé English statesman.Dr.K. P.Battle,,was asked to pass on the question,writes: {which the jury had no!opportunity to consider.It ought never to be exer- cised in the way of assumption of the prerogative of court and jury,.Mostdangerousofallistheabuseofit when the pardoning authority'permits the logic of the case to become in- oculated with sentiment.”|- The Landmark is candidly of the opinion that the pardoning power is frequently abused by Executives who undertake to assume “the prerogative of court and jury.”Often the func- tions of an appellate court are as- sumed,the Executive examining and reviewing the evidence and assuming to say whether the courts and:juries that passed on the case came to the correct conclusion.It isa rather vio- lent assumption for one man,no mat- ter how honest and able,to under- take to overrule the judge and jury in the lower court andthe Supreme Court:as to the law and the facts in.a ¢ase,but-it seems that Governors of States often do that very thing. The Times well says that the grant of power:in this connection is for the Executive to.;consider “conditions which the jury could’not pass.upon, and for the retognitign-of facts which the jury had no opportunity to.con, sider.”:Ni Taking note of what The Landmark had to:say about subjecting the Gov- ernor to the ordeal of hearing the appeals of weeping relatives,the Times says:,: The Governor could set a good pre- cedent by saving himself these try-ing moments:by--requiring that all matter of testimony or argumentpresentedtohimhavedirectrelationto’the case.A mother’s tears are necessarily partial and useless so far as the endsof-justice are concerned —and the ends of justice make thesoleexcusefortheexerciseofthe Parnas power in apy.case,Advo- eates before an appellate court donotrantinargument.,They stick to their briefs.In the last appellate court of the difficult equity of ashe -it is even more important tla’meissuebedeterminedcapeincident,of impassioned,2 Psbow:pag eémpassion pay_ja_life where the law has held it foxfeitshouldbecoldasice.

Returning to Statesville from Wilk- esboro in a buggy last Sunday,Mr. J.B.Fraley and his 16-year-old son, John Fraley,had a thrilling experi- ience in a swollen stream.Reaching Cub ereek,a short distance this side of Wilkesboro,Mr.Fraley noticed that the stream was more or less flooded on account of rains,but it was appar- lent that others had forded it and Mr. Fraley drove in.The horse suddenly dropped out of sight:and the water ran into the foot of the buggy.When the horse came to the surface Mr. Fraley told his son to cling to the bug-gy while he climbed out on the horse. Mr.Fraley experienced little trouble in getting on the horse and when he let down the check rein the horsestretcthedhisneckandbeganswim- ming with apparent ease.Mr.Fra- ley clung to the horse and his son to the buggy and the powerful animal landed both safely on the other:side of the stream.

Some years ago the .Vanderburg congregation —a portion of it,at least—decided to change the locationofthechurch.to Shepherd’s.This was done in accordance with the dis- cipline of the Methodist Church.Part of the membership,however,protested against the change of sites and the erection of the new church,and someofthedissatisfiedonesjoinedother churches.Recently the Associate Re- formed Presbyterian people,under the leadership ofRev.J.Meek White,con- ducted a campmeeting near the old Vanderburg church and the church or- yan,which had been left in the old building,was secured for use during the meeting.When the meeting closed the Vanderburg trustees asked for the organ and Mr.R.S.Brawley and other former members of Vanderburg, who opposed the change of the loca- tion and had since joined the Asso- ciate’Reformed.Presbyterians,refus- ed to allow the organ to be moved on the ground that it did not belong to Vanderburg.The trustees of Vander-burg then started an action in the courts to regain possession of the or- gan but Mr.Brawley continued his irefusal to give it up,denying that it ‘was church property.Summons was jissued in the case by Justice Voils, ‘but the defendant had the case moved‘to Justice McLean’s court.At the |hearing Tuesday several witnesses }were introduced,the principal one be- ing Mr.H.A.Smith,another of the dissatisfied Vanderburg members who had joined the Associate Reform- ed Presbyterians.Mr.Smith testified that 16 or 17 years ago he bought the organ for Vanderburg ¢hurch and paidforit,with personal fund.He:placeditinthechurchwith‘the,understand-ing that it.would becomé church prop-erty whenever the’church.paid forit,and if the entire purchase price was not paid he would donate the remain- der.The organ cost $45 or $50 and it’was shown that the church had paid $20.60 on it.At the hearing Mr. Smith made no claim to the.organ and the colrt rendered its verdict in fav- or of the trustees of Vanderburg.~~ Mr.W.D.Turner of Statesville rep- resented the trustes of Vanderburg in the case and Mr.R.B.McLaughlin of Statesville represented Mr.Brawley and his ¢lan.Speaking in a humor- ous vein at the close of his argument for the plaintiffs,Mr.Turner said that while the good Methodists.up at Van- derburg are singing,“Will there be any stars in my crown,”the A.R.P.’s ‘at_old Vanderburg join in.the refrain with,“No not one,no not one”.

Watauga MannWho Took Him self to the State Prison Ha Wait a Week For Admis: who went to Raleigh alone and at self at the State prison with the nec-essary papers.to show that he was under sentence to serve three and ahalfyears:for manslaughter,wait- ed an entire week for a’Watau- ga officer to show up and_identifykimsohecanget.into the peniten-tiary.To prevent substitution and fraud,prisoners can’t be admitted to the ‘State prison unless accompanied by an officer or deputy.No one in Raleigh knew Wnhills,and while the presumption.was that he was the man named in the commitment,the State prison people,in the abundance of caution,waited to be shown.Yes- terday Walls was shown into the pris- on by the Watauga sheriff. Whether that was his original pur- pose or not,Walls’.course has made him many svmpatliizers ard will doubtless get him a pardon.When he offered himself at the State prison and was refused admission he could have said that he had déne his duty —and departed.But he didn’t.Hesatdownandwaiteduntilsuchtime as he could gain admission. Many vears ago a Statesville citi- zen,--belligerently _--inelined,_found himself in jail for misconduct.Dur- ing his incarceration the jail was guarded for some reason (but not on this prisoner’s account),the guards being placed inside the jail.The Statesville man had the privilege of the corridor.One night a guard went on duty who didn’t know the States- ville man was.a prisoner,but he knew the man and his”reputation,and when he saw him walking about the corridor the guard “had a hunch” that the fellow was there for no good,whereupon he demanded,_per- emptorily,to know what he was do- ing there.. The Statesville man was sharp—as sharp as Brooks of Sheffield—and he took in the situation.So he answer- ed ‘that he was just.looking around. “You've no business here,”said the guard,convinced by the Statesville man’s answer that he was up _tosomething.“You get out of here!” he ordered emphatically. “Well,.if vou’re so ‘pot-gutted’about.it.”said the"Statesvine”sfan, humble-like,“I can zo.” Wheré¢upon the prisoner took his departure,and:with.good cause..Hedidn’t_propose to stay where he was- n't wanted—even in jail.” The Watauga man logs at it dif- fcrently.|His determination to —fet into’the:State prison has naturallyattractedmuchattentionandthe sympathy he has aroused (whether he deserves the sympathy is anoth- er matter)wlil.probably be the means of shortening-his term of im- prisonment.THINKSHE “IS CONJURED. Lenoir Countyy Man Brings Suit to Get Relief From Spell. ‘The Kinston corréspondent of the daily papers,who tells many unusualstories,reports that Anthony Davis has brought suit against me Wor- ley,Davis alleging that Worley con-jured-him.Both men are residents of Lenoir county. According to Davis,he and Wor- ley several days ago took a walk in- to the woods,‘during the course ofwhichWorleytookapiece!of chalkfromhispocketanddrewDavis’pic- ture on a tree.Next.he built a fire around the,tree and as”the smokecurled:up around the.picture hedrewarevolverfromhispocketand fired.a silver ‘bullet into the —tree, the bullet lodging im the arm of the picture.he had drawn. A short time later Davis’arm be- came sore at the same spot at which the -bullet had entered the arm’on the tree and this sore is now eating the arm away and declines to heal. Davis _is_of the opinion that Worley is the cause of this and is desirous of having the “spell”removed from him. In Statesville some years ago one colored man who thought he had been conjured by another.was_ad-vised’that if’he could «draw blood from the conjurer all would be well. Thereupon he visited the alleged con- jurer’s home one night,called the man to the door and filled his legs with shot.It is not recalled wheth- er the spell was removed,but the man who was trying to remove it by such strenuous methods landed in jail.The Lenoir county man is seeking relief by more peaceable means..

Just.140 yearssaysanexchange, ago .last month, the Amerieen post :stem,which now stretches,from ,Be itantic to,the Pacific over a close-meshed net of fast mail routes, toad its birth as a limping service along a narrow styip of the eastern sea coast,its fastest transportation agency a galloping horse.Few of the millions’of Americans who make use of the postal service know of itshis- toric aspect.But those familiar with postal history recall each »year the striking contrasts betyeen facilities and methods of the early days and se of the present. .he dtvabe mail system that was taken over in July,1775,by Postmas- ter General Benjamin Franklin,con- sisted of 30 postoffices,9 postriders and a slow schooner line to Atlantic coast points.July,1915,found the -gambé_system with more than 56,000 postoffices and 300,000 employes, transportation ‘by mail trains and over a few experimental routes even by.aeroplanes;city distribution and collection by motorcycles,motorcars and pneumatic tubes,and prepara- tions in progress for beginning soon the motorization of the rural free de- livery service.The anniversary also fell this year just after the announce-ment that before the end of the year the last:horse-drawn mail wagon will disappear from the service of theWashingtoncity‘postoffice—the:lab-oratory of the postal service—says the New York Sun,In Franklin’s day only letters werecarriedofficiallyinthemails,though a few weekly papers and small pack-ages were taken by the carriers as a matter of accommodation.All over-land mail.was carried either on horseback or in stage coaches,andbecausethelatterwerecapableofmakingthetripbetweenNewYorkandBostonattheirbést.in two days,hey:;,were considered _extraordinari-1 and were dubbed “flying ma- chinga”by the writers of the day.

Bulgarian reservists are hastening to the colors,one of the reserve offi- cers being authority for ment that the general mobilization in- cludes 250,000 infantry.Bulgaria's field army of all ranks numbers be- tween 300,000 and 850,000 men.The indications are that if Bulgaria en-ters the war she will join with theTeutonicallies.

Bucharest is silent with respect to the attitude of Rumania,which be- cause of the geographical position ofthatcountrywillprobablyremain quiéscent until Bulgaria’s final de-cision is taken. One of the features of the war is to be found in.a raid by a squadron of French aeroplanes,which in re- taliation for attacks by the GermanswithaircraftonopentownsofFranceandEngland,has flown from the frontier to Stuttgart,capital of the Kingdom of Wurttemburg,a distanceofmorethanahifindredmiles,and deposited shells in the neighborhood of the royal palace and the station.The damage done is.not recorded.

The Corporation Commission Had Some Facts That Embar- rassed the Complainers. It is a notorious fact that folks whoboastoftheirwealthatothertimes are very poor when -it comes to ashow-down for taxes.This was ex-emplified when the Mecklenburg dele- gation went before the corporationcommissionWednesdayto_protest against an increase .in assessment.The boasted wealth of Charlotte andMecklenburgseemedtovanish.They“told of depressed conditions-and fall- ing off in values of real estate,caun- ty and city,the past two years 15 to 40 per cent,due they thought,princi- pally to war conditions and excep- tionally bad cotton market last sea- son.It.was to meet conditions,farbelownormal,that they urged that there should be no increase in tax as- sessments save those that the county assessors have made this year.”They éven insisted that it was all right to value lands in the adjoining countiesofIredell,.Cabarrus and Union higher than in Mecklenburg. Chairman Travis showed that the real estate tax assessment in Meck- lenburg for 1915 was $25,088,035,an increase ‘in four years of $3,856,482,or [9.2 per cent.The five leadingcountiesoftheStatewithwhich Mecklenburg should compare—Bun- combe,Durham,Forsyth,Guilford and Wake—showed an average in-crease of 26.33 per cent,and the com-mission had increased values in these counties.He also showed by the Charlotte Observer,that building.im- provements in Charoltte in three years,as shown by building permits for construction work,”aggregated$3,250,000,nearly as much as the to- tal assessment increase in the whole county in four years. It was also in evidence that the Mecklenburg board of education had complained of low assessments had shown from the record that the average was only 18 to 30 per cent, and that on this showing the corpor- ation commission had been compelled to order a reassessment in Charlotte in the spring of 1914.The board of education showed that property that sold for $10,000 was assessed for $800,etc.. The commission showed that withthe15percentincreaseithadorder- ed added,the average assessed value of lands in border townships in Meck- lenburg was only $10.86,while ad- joining lands in Union,Cabarrus. Tredell,Lincoln and Gaston’showed an average of $10.93,notwithstandingpopulationdensityinMecklenburgis112.3 per square-mile,.while the av-erage density in thé adiojning.coun-ties is 61.4 per square mile.The commission promised.to.con-sider the Mecklenburg ,complaint,but with the above showing the reduction asked will hardly be made,althoughmembersofthedelegationintimated injunction proceedings.- Jurors For FederalCourt.

Government Will Provide Official Grader For Small Outlay—One Can Be Procured For Iredell— The Great Advantage of the Plan.To the Editor of ‘The Landmark: The readers of The Landmark will remember that some two yéars ago the writer submitted a method of selling cotton on official grade.The subject was discussed by farmers’or- ganizations,the agricultural pressandgovernmentofficials.The planwasgenerallyendorsedbutitwas not seen at.first how.it could be put into operation.However,last year —1914—the government placed an official cotton grader in Edgecombe county to make a try-out of the plan. that the Department of Agriculture is going to make a fuller test of the plan this year.Five counties inNorthCarolinahavebeénselected for this purpose.Three countieshavealreadymadeapplicationforanofficialgraderandafourthis’mak- ing application.The counties al- ready selected.are Edgecombe,’the county where the first test was made,Wilson and Nash.Mecklenburg is making application for a grader..I understand Iredell 4s the other eduntythathasbeenselected.There «has, however,been no effort made to se- cure the grader,and if this county is to get.the benefit of this new plan of grading cotton by an official grad- er,the farmers of the county must get’busy.i ( The plan as carried out in Edge- combe county last season was this: The Department.of Agriculture agreed to furnish an expert cotton grader,pay his salary,and expenses, if the people of the county would agree to furnish an office and an of- fice clerk.This was readily agreed to,and the work was begun.The far- mers.were a little skeptical at first, as they always are about a new proposition,and the buyers fought it as long as they could,‘but finallyyieldedtotheofficialgrading. The’department furnished wrap-pers and each ginner took a four- ounce sample from:.each bale of cot- ton .ginned,placed it in the wrapperwiththeweightofthebale,the nameofthefarmer,and his postoffice ad- dress written on it..This was ad- dressed under frank to the office of the official cotton grader.The official grader went over these samples, graded them and wrote on the wrap- per the grade of the cotton and thestaple.”The clerk transferred thesemarkingstocardsmadeoutforthepurposeandmailedthemtothefar-mers whose cotton had been sampled by the ginners.The ‘samples,with weight of bale,grade and staple were left in the office of the official grad- er,and the farmers had the cards with duplicates.Thus there were two sources of tracing each bale of cotton,and in addition to the mark- ings above named thé wrappers con- tained space for the gin number ofthe-bale and whether.it “was freefromencumbrance., Under this ‘certification,if the farmer wished sell his cotton,allhehadtodowastoofferthiscerti-fication by card to the buyers,andif.he warehoused the cotton for thepurposeofborrowingmoney,thebankswouldtake.the certificationasabaseonwhichtomaketheloan.~The plan worked out well in everyparticularforthefarmers.Some ofthebuyersdidnotwantto.recognizethegradingandthefarmersbegantosendtheirgrades’to Norfolk.andothermarketstoseewhattheywouldoffer.In every instance the Norfolkbuyerswouldagreetotakethecot-ton on ‘the.official grade even whenthefarmerswouldofferonlyawrit-ten statement of what he had—that.is,the number_of bales of thisorthatgrade.When it was seenthattheNorfolkbuyerswouldtake the official grading and pay for thecottononthatgradingwithoutsee-ing it,the local buyers began.to buythecottononthesamebasis.Far- mers in Edgecombe ~county were greatly surprised that their cottongradedsohigh.-Under the localgraders’method farmers rarely everhadtheircottongradedashighasmiddling,but the official grader of-ten gave them good middling,and sometimes strict good middling.The farmers were thus enabled to realizethedifferencebetweenthehigher and the lower grades of their cotton.Without further elaboration of the plan,I want to call on the farmersofIredellcountytogettogetherandmakesucharrangements’as may benecessarytosecureanofficialgrad-er this season.There is no doubt that many.thousands of,dollars canbesavedinthisway.There ‘will be some expense.attached to the plan,but.this can be met easily,I think.

Others,of the Roosevelt class,think the President is a “mollycoddle” because he hasn’t got the country in a war with Germany long ago.Oth- ers think we are favoring the ‘“en- tenteallies”by our attitude toward Germany and that we have been un- fair to the Germans.Others think -we should retaliate on England for Mae,cotton on the contraband list, etc,,etc. ~Most*-of the President’s’’critics, given a free hand,would have involv- ed the ‘cou “th war long ago ‘éither highs selfishness.or 1blind peste@nship.:'‘Few of them all the facts in the case;the jews ond customs governing inter- coursebetween nations;and few of ite Shain,in the absence of this knowl- ellge,have ‘any conception of what thecdnsequence would be if the thing _dope”they so “earnestly believe 14 fix'things just right. A few days ago a minister writing he to,a daily paper,wanted to know why, _if we warned Americans to get out of Mexico,we didn’t warn Americans oct 20;Btay off British ammunition ships. an y people have asked that ques- “tion—people of intelligence;~wide ading and conversant with public 8.For the life of them they .ean't see why it should be done in the.one case and not donein the oth- ..‘er,'unless our government wants to or England as against®Germany. Landmark is by no.means capa- ble of answering all the questions “propounded by the critics—not even the President could do that—but it is surprising that.it.doesn’t occur to yome of the people who,ask this question that thereason we warn Americans to get out of Mexico is because there is no organized and ’Yecognized government in that coun- try that we can hold responsible.In the ‘case of German submarine wat- fare,international law distinctly pro- vides that merchant ships and pas- ‘senger ships may carry ammunition ~~or other contraband of war,and that they cannot be destroyed by belliger- ents until they have been warned and ;non-combatants given a chance to x escape,unless the merchant or pas- i senger ship offers resistance or tries to get away.That is the law and the custom that President Wilson has insisted on carrying out,because ‘of which some millions of his coun- _trymen think he is favoring the “en- ~“tente allies”and is unjust to Germa- ‘many,while other millions think he )should have forced a war on Germa- “ny ‘immediately the ‘Lusitania was ‘destroyed,without waiting to ask about the facts. .The Landmark thinks that Ameri- can citizens have no business taking passage on the ammunition ships when it is possible to avoid doing so. It thinks they deserve little sympa- thy when they get“fedlled if they have wantonly taken chances;and it thinks it ou us that they should unnecessarily take the chance of in- ‘volving millions of their countrymen “jn war.But.‘under the law they not only have that right but they are en- ‘titled to the.ion of their’gov- ernment inthe right;and a govern- ment that will not.undertake to see that its citizens are protected in their is tinder recognized “law,cannot ‘eommand-respect among the nations. at being so,if the government these folks did not set well. land where,under certain poate, they are entitled to protection,an lawyer would say that wouldbe i. ing the case away.That is to say, if our citizens had been warned to stay.off theArabic,for instance,andsomeof‘them had disregarded/the warning and had been killed,when we undertook to call Germany to ac- count’the answer would be that we recognize the fact that ‘neutrals had no busines on an ammgnition ship which we warned them to stay off:and if that warning had been.given Ger- many would never have changed her methods of submarine warfare in re- sponse to our demand.—_—_—_—_—_—_NEWS ITEMS OF INTEREST.

Their Change of Scene in Spring and Fall Not Always Due to Climate. New York Times.: Even though it Woes seem a bit ear- ly,the copl days have gotten the birds all mixed up\and they have al- ready begun their migration south- ward.This is anything but playtime for the little feathered things,for there is much to do before the de- parture,since seven or eight months ‘will’elapse jefore’their,return to the summer home.‘ This annual exodus has been a source of unending study to scientists, who have endeavored to ascertain the real reason for such extensive travel as the birds indulge in,for in many instances the climate does not neces~- sitate their going.Of course the ac- cepted theory has been that ages be- fore the arctic ice fields—advanced southward during the glacial period, the North American contirient literal- ly swarmed with birds.Because of the fact that they were home-loving, they remained near their nesting sites until the oncoming ice began for the first time:to produce a winter.The eredaat approach of the ice,with the accompanying cold temperature,un- til the return of the warmer days, brought about the enforced withdraw- alsand_absences of the birds,finally developing in them a fixed habit ofmovingnorthandsouth-with the change of seasons.And it was believ-ed that,creatures of habit,the.birds:continued their migration,even though the ice had permanently re- ceded to itg.present location in the far north,‘Apother theory has been’that thebirdy’natural home is in.the Syoth,but were forced to ee climes when,they southlan ame Paver:ulated with them.But both.these well-known and accepted theorieshavebeen,entirely dissipated by biol-ogists,who have:observed the birdscloselyanddiscoveredthattheyalltravel,no matter where their home orwhattheclime,They look for change and variety and set out en masse in searchof it,but,with the pessible ex-ception of some ducks and geese,theweatherintheirwinter‘homenothingtodowithstartingthe birds on their migratory flight.Thereseemsonlytobesome,intangibleforce:from within which promptsthemtostart:on their’journiés.In searching the heavens do notconclude,upon.finding none,that.the birds’cannot possibly be migrating or they.could be seen:At that particu-lar moment they may not be travel- ing unless you are doing your observ- ing in the night time;but they mayLho,vesting in the tree near by,.fortheychangetheorderofthingsand ty by,nights Although,to be sure,hs birds migrate during daylight, most do ‘their traveling at night,set- ting’out soon after,dark and:stop-ping*before’dawn.A greater number of miles are covered before midnight‘than after it.Th .migrating the birds.make the journey.very ,easily,flying at a speed of about 30 or 40 miles an hour and occasionally exceeding 50.Some go only a short distance,while others go thousands of miles.There are overa-hundred,species of:birds of North America_that-go-every-winter-to-Gen-| l Some passeequator‘and pass on to the pam-is of Argentina,while others go toatagonia.For instance,the scarlettanager,that decorated .the green. “lad*hills.of Westchester county and New Jersey in the summer,goes allteWaytofar-off Peru to spend the .winter-months.The thrushes,-night- hawks,some swallows and purplemartenarealsoamong.those that visit our neighbors in the tropics.The shore birds make the long-ést trips,the arctic tern holding the world record for long distance.These1birdsnestasfarnorthaslandis, known and yet a few months later,are found 11,000 miles away on the,fringeoftheantarctic.But the scientistsconsiderthegolden’plover to be the most wonderful and unusyal,for this_bird travels from Nova -Scotia duesouthovertheAtlanticOceantoSouth‘America,a distance of morethan2,400 miles,without stopping. These ‘excursions of the feathered‘creatures are extremely tiazardous, for ,many,obstacles have to be over-come.during the voyage.The trips over the water are particularly dan-gerous because of the fact that,ex-cept when there is a passing steamer, there is little or no‘chance to rest,and many fall from exhaustion and aredrowned.Others are killed by plung- ing into high objects because they can-not see,for the monotony of the scenecausesanynumberofthemtogoblind.; So,no matter whére we are or whattheclime,each spring and fall.if wewillobservethebirds,we will findthattheybecome‘quite restless and,after much bustling and preparation,will finally take flight.

For several weeks British and French artillery have been pounding fiercely and continucasly at the Ger- man line,The forward movement of the infantry began Saturday morning when thousands:of allied troops threw themselves against the Ger- man trenches,in which,though bat- tered and torn by heavy’shells,the Germans waited,heving long ex-pected the onslaught.Much of the fighting was at close range,hand to hand encounters being carried from trench to trench.The heavy artillerycontinuedto.pour forth a rain of heavy projectiles,while aviators took the air to direct the fighting.andthemselvesengagedinmanycombats. In addition to having captured Souchez,a much disputed point ofvantage,the French have succeeded in -forcing a passage of the greatseriesoftrenchesandfortificationsin Champagne.between Auberive and Ville-sur-Tourbe,.driving the .Ger- mans to the second line of trenches, two.or three miles to the rear:This offensive is still in progress.Simultaneously with the attack on the German lines,the British war-ships operied a,violent bombardment at many points off the Belgian coast. The British gains have been made,to.the north of Arras.They~have taken.the town of Loos and the quar- .Ties northwest of Hulluch,and have compelled the Germans to draw on their reserves to check the advance. For.the time being the dramatic developments of events in the west have overshadowed those 3 the east- ern theater,where the ians have stayed the progress of fe Austro- Germans at many points,and Wave apparently succeeded in getting them- selves well in hand for further of- fensive and defensive’operations. The quick answer of Greece to Bulgarian mobilization has probably been a factor in clearing the atmos- phere with respect to Bulgaria’s in- tentions.The Bulgarian.governmenthasnotified:the Powers that the mobilization of the Bulgarian armywasorderedinthenationalinterestsandthatitwasnotintendedasan offensive measure.Individual mem-bers of the Bulgarian government also have expressed themselves to thesameeffect.Nevertheless both Greeceand.Rumania continue to make readyforanyeventuality.3 i Yesterday's.report ssys the offen-sive movement of :the allies continuesalongtheentirefrontandthatfurth-er Germanpositions have been taken.

According to that ‘little map”of the corporation commission,376,320 acres are listed in Iredell against 325,405 in Mecklenburg;andthe per centage of assessed value to census value is 57.7 in Iredell to 47.7 in Mecklenburg.— Charlotte Observer,f : /A,great many things that Charlotte and Mecklenburg people have learned recently ‘should be:of!benefit.in the future if they are to profit by ex- perience.The Charlotte folks are,or have been,exactly in the position of the large property owner who,when taxes are mentioned,boastsof the ag- gregate amount of tax he pays,But when the tax lists aré examined it will be found almost invariably that he pays less,in proportion to what he has,than the folks who own less,for his property is usally assessed at a lower rate,Reading the Charlotte papers,one would think that..Char- lotte and Mecklenburg were just about supporting the State and the aggre- gate of taxes paid by Mecklenburg is of course large.But when the record is examined it is found that the county pays less in proprtion to what it has than other counties —Iredell being ae vu But The Landmark has no disposi- tion to add anythingto’Mecklenbure’s humiliation.The only surprise is that the folks down,ther didn’t,see and realize the situationy as they,might have done had they looked»into the facts,before theymadé themselves the laughing stock ofthe State.a It is a generally:recognized.fact that’there are usually,especially in} centers of population,more mercan- tile establishments,especially ~in some lines,than good business condi- tions warrant.Keeping store,as many people view it,offers an eas- ier method of making a-living than many other lines,and in no other business probably is there so great a per centage of failures and so small a per.cent..who really make.money. The University News-Letter _finds there are 178 stores in Orange coun- ty—45 of these being in the rural districts.In Hillsboro there is ‘one store for,every 17 inhabitants;in Chapel Hill one for,every 22 inhab- itants,and counting students at the University—one for every 29 inhab- itants.Taking the county as @ whole there is a store for every 90 2 The use of money and other corrupt in- elections many instances accepted as a matter of courseas a partofthe dirtinpol- Elections not only can be,but should be,conducted fairly and hon- estly.The public welfare and the it. the law and if so-called “good citi- zens”have the public welfare at heart they will not only uphold the hands of men like Judge Rountree, who would expose the corruptionists and drive them from place and pow- help.The trouble is that too many men who think they are good citi- zens,but who are not,either condone| the corruption,as .something they ‘say ‘they can’t afford to take part in “dirty politics.”The man,who.re- ~fuses to stand up.against admitted and known wrongs in State and so- ciety is an indirect aider and ‘abetter 4 Of these things.*He is not a good -~eitizen and “his very conduct shows ithe hollowness of ‘his °professions. te -HOW_IT WORKS.

RAAT AEAMRTAAATT The Winston-Salem Journal covers the whole ground in a sentence when it says that “if men would be honest with the government which protects them,the corporation .commission would never-have to ‘interfere with tax assessments.”The practice of endeavoring to evade taxes is so well-nigh universal that the great majority of people who are other- wise straight and square,seem to think it no wrong to cheat the gov- ernment..Perjury in making tax re- turfs is so common that it is not se- riously discussed;it is passed with the weak excuse that “everybody does it.”Men who would feel out- raged,who would fight or bring a li- bel suit.if somebody publicly intimat- ed that they were dishonest and did not tell the truth,can be both dis- honest and uhtruthfal in the’matter of tax returns without compunction of ‘conscience.It is all because of a matter of custom;and it is another evidence of how anything that be- comes a common practice will be ac- cepted,or allowed to pass,no matter how grievously wrong.it ‘may be.
