When Matheson’s case was called, one of his attorneys,Mr.W.©.lFeim- ster of Newton,asked for a continu- ance.He stated that Mr.Z.V.Long, who is associated with him in defend- ing Matheson,is sick in the Sanato- rium and not able to give the case his attention.The prisoner’s mother is seriously ill and Mr.Feimster read a physician’s certificate to the effect that she would not possibly be able to at- tend court before ten days or two weeks.Also a brother of defendant could not get here for several days at least.Solicitor Clement stated thathethoughttheendsofjusticecould jbest be met by a trial at this term. Judge Carter took this view of it and the case-was set for the 10th. When it was discovered that the pay of special veniremen is $2 per day and mileage,Judge Carter said he was of the opinion that we are going too ‘far in the idea that the citizen must be paid for everything he does for the State.

HOMICIDE’FRIDAY NIGHT. Raleigh Miller Killed Lester Ha- ger,the Result of a.Picnic Row—Both Colored. Raleigh ‘Miller shot and instantly killed Lester Hager Friday night. Both colored. Miller and Hager;along with other negroes,attended an annual picnic at River Hill,in the northern part of the county.All started home that afternoon in a wagon.It is alleged that Miller became enraged at Hager, drew his knife and»chased Hager from the wagon.Miller then return- éd and threatened John Abner Allison, another of the party,and Allison left the wagon.In the wind-up Miller’s head had been dented twice—in the front and back—presumably with a rock,and he was otherwise used up. Jane Lazenby,a negro woman,re- mained with Millérand~they.caught. a passing automobile for town.When they reached Mr.W.N.White's place, just east of town,where Miller was employed,they got out and Mr. White sent them on into town,as Mr.White understood,for Miller to have his wounds dressed.As it turn- ed out,Miller did not have his wounds dressed but he and the Lazenby wo- man secured a pistol each and footed it back out the Mocksville road.They hid-in front of Mr.Lester Tomlin’s and waited until the”wagon load of negroes came along,when Miller opened fire on Hager,shooting four times.One ball entered the left side, passed through the body and°was taken out from the right side.Hager lived only a few minutes. Hager was occupying a seat with the driver and fell back in the war- on.The wagon was filled with pic-} nicers up to that time but when the officers arrived only one ‘or two re- mained.The body was brought to town and was taken in charge by the colored undertaker, After shooting Hager,Miller is said to have gone to a house where he ex- pected to find Abner Allison and an- nounced that he had come.for the purpose of killing him.Abner |had not reached there,however,and Mil- ler went into the field near there, where he was arrested later by the officers.The shooting cecurred early in the evening—probably between & and 9 o’clock. Jane Lazenby was urrested Satur- day,charged with being accessory to the murder,and was committed to jail to await court.Miller waived ex- amination before Justice Lazenby Saturday and is in jail.He has em- ploved counsel to defend him. John Abner Allison gave 7100 bond for his appearance to answer for as- sault with deadly weapon. Water 20 Feet Deep in Mr. Sherrill’s Yard—Home Wrecked Writing to The Landmark,Mr.J.A. Sherrill of Sherrill’s Ford,Catawbe county,says that during the recent flood the river was 54 1-2 feet at his place.According to the Southern Power Company survey his home was 34 feet above the river level,and that means that the water in his yard was 20 1-2 feet.The water began coming into his yard’Saturday,July 15,at & o’clock,and remained in the yard un- til Monday,17th,at 12 o’clock—noon. His home was under water 40 hours and was a complete wreck.All his buildings were lifted from their foun- dations and four small buildings were washed away.Sediment left in his house was 4 to 8 inches deep and twofeetdeepintheyard.While all in the path of the flood lost heavily,Mr. Sherrill’s loss is the greatest among the farmers in that immediate neigh- horhood because of the wrecking of his home.‘ Mr.Sherrill thinks the Federal government should flood sufferers, State aid and the Ferries Opening on the Catawba The Catawba -Statesville Ferry Company has established -a ferry about a half mile down the river from the railroad bridge and Mr.Oscar /Sherrill of Catawba writes The Land- mark that it is expected to have the ferry open for public travel:today. This ferry is reached by the old Lewis ferry road on the Iredell side and is reached from Catawba station on the Catawba side. The Brown ferry,which has been re-established near the —Statesville- Buffalo Shoals bridge site and con- nects with the State Central highway,is also ahout ready for business. Near all the public ferries on the river in this vicinity were discontinu- ed a few years ago when the bridges were opened,but since the flood car- ried the bridges away old ferries are being re-opened and new ones put in to accommodate the public. Y|Mayor FinedHimself—Cases in Court Below. Mayor Caldwell fined,-himself $5 each in tavo cases for exceeding’the automobile speed limit the past week.

Statesville Man Visited ,Flood District in McDowell,Where There is Great Loss and Dis- tress. Mr.W.A.Thomas of .Statesville, who owns some timber land at+a point on the Clinchfield road,between Avery and Altapass,16 miles from Marion,went up there last.week.tolookoverthesituation.He was ad- vised that some of his lumber waswashedawayandthatthe,railroa people wanted timber for ‘repair work,so he made the trip by walk- ing all of the 16 miles to and from Marion,wading in mud and water much of the time.Mr.Thomas found that he was per- ‘sonallysdamaged $1,000 to $1,500,but his personal loss didn’t worry him.It is the destruction of property andthesufferingofthepeoplein,that section that gave him concerns ~~ Crops on the lowlands,which means practically all crops,were desteoyed: and the lands badly washed or filled! with sand or the slides from the mountains.The mountain sides were left bare to the recks im many places by slides and the people are not only left without crops—without food for man or beast inmanycases—but with- outlandtocultivate;andsheworstof it is they are discouraged,dazed,and know not where to begin.There -is4 no road to Marion and it will be some time before the railroad can be-open- ed. In one case a small farmer who owned two mules and had a nice lit- tle farm,lost all his crops and the land was left in such condition ‘that he had nothing to cultivate.While his home and his team were left he want- ed to get away to the West,or some- place where it didn’t.rain often.In some cases farmers had turned their stock out to graze and were dividing what grain they had with their neigh- hors for bread—selling to those able to buy and giving to those who had no money.Corn bread was all that was to be had and the people were rlad to get that.In most cases the vegetable patches were destroyed with the crops.The mills were wash- ed away and it is hard to get corn ground.In one ease a mill was improvised.An engine had been left on a failway car at Avery.Three miles further up the river a corn mill was found.This was slipped’alongtherailroadbyhandandtakentoa point near the engine,a shed ‘:was built over it,belts were run from the engine,,ete.,and when Mr.Thomas left Avery the improvised mill was running full time. The most vitiable case of which Mr.Thomas heard was that of a man with an invalid wife,who supported his wife and children by day labor and from the patches *he could culti- vate With a hoe.Sunday morning, the 16th,he was aroused by one of the children calling to him that wa- ter was in the house.When he got up he found the water knee deen.He managed to get his wife and children to the loft of his little home and cut a hole in the roof.About that time a tree lodged against the house and he managed to get his family to land by means of this tree.Soon after they got out of the house it was washed away.They escaned in their night clothes and everythine else they ha‘ was lost,Walking about the neigh- borhood,in his night clothes and barefooted,trying to get help for his family.that man left tracks of blood from his bruised feet.’ There are too many stories of suf- fering to recount.Mr.Thomas fears that the people—in_these isolated dis- tricts,whom it is difficult to reach and especially with supplies,will suffer much.It is-especially ureed that men charged with the investica- tion of the flood sufferers make it a noint to get into the back country, where the need and the suffering i greatest. Taking ‘Goods Across the Ca- tawba By Boat. red with the plant. The first freight shipment from; Statesville across the Catawba river} since the railroad bridge was washed| away,was a car of groceries and! supplies shipped Saturday by; Statesville wholesale dealers to mer-| chants at Catawba.The goods were; transferred at the river by the par-} ties to whom they were consigned.| the railroad people doing all re could to assist.The Southern is rot taking freight for shipment to point west of Eufola,and this special ar-| rangement was made in order to get,supplies to the people in that section.| Merchants west of the river who| buy goods in Statesville have been| much handicapped in getting supplies. A Catawba county merchant who came to Statesville last week to buy dry goods took with him what he could conveniently handle,going to the river by automobile and taking the goods across by boat.Another merchant who came from Connelly Springs to buy got his goods sent bV parcel post,his purchases being di- vided into convenient packages. It will be several days vet before freight can be shipped across the Ca- tawba by rail. Miss Henninger to Arkansas.

The Attitude of the Cotton Mills and the Power Co.’s Respon- sibility, The Landmark,mentioned a week ago that it was understood that the Long Island and Turner cotton mills would ask the Southern Power Com- pany for damages on account of loss in the recent flood,it being held’that a part of the loss—and the greater part—suffered byethese mills was the result of the breaking of the South-ern Power Company’s dam at Look- out.ae The Landmark is informed _that representatives of the Turner mills and the Long Island mill wrote offi- cials of the Southern Power Compa- ny stating their contentions and ask-ing for a conference for &n adjust- met.The Power company officials replied,disclaiming all responsibili- ty.A conference may be held,but itismostprobablethatthe~case~will be threshed out in the courts. The mill people hold that they are entitled to the use,of the water of the river at its natural flow;that while others have a right to use the river for domestic or commercial pur- poses,it must be so used as not to in- jure those above or below.It.is the purpose of the mills to enjoin the Power company from using the wa- ter otherwise. Last winter,after the Lookout plant was put in commission,the flow of the water was so retarded at times that the mills were stopped for lack of power,Again so much water was turned loose that the operation of the mills was interfered with. It will be held also that at the time of the recent flood in the river the wa- ter was receding and the mills,while flooded,were intact;that long expe- rience showed that the crest of the wave had passéd before the flood came from the broken dam,and it was the sudden rise in the river as a result of the break that washed away the Monbo mill on the Cataw- ba side and did other damage at Long Island and Monbo which would not have resulted but for the breaking of the Power company dam. So far the Southern Power Com- pany has made no attempt to repairthedamatLookout.Timber.has been hauled there to repair the road- way to the dam. Many Lives and Millions of Property Loss By Explosions. *Property losses estimated at $25,- 000,000 were caused carly Sunday by a series of terrific expfosions of am- munition awaiting shipment to the entente allies and stored on Black Tom Island,a small strip of land jutting into New York bay off Jersey City. The loss of life still is problematical. It will not be determined definitely un- til there has.been opportunity to check up the workmen employed on the island and on boats moored near- by.The number of dead is reported at three,although some of the miss- ing are unaccounted for. The detonations,which were felt in ive States,began with a continuous rapid-fire of small shells,then the blowing up of great quantities of dy- namite and other high explosives, followed by the bursting of thousands of shrapnel shells which literaly show- ered the surrounding country and waters for many miles around. Fire that started soon after the first great crash which spread death and desolation in its wake,destroyed thir- teen of the huge warehouses of theNationalStorageCompanyonBlack Tom Island,in)which were —stored merchandise valued between $12,000,- 000 and $15,000,000.

Iredell Citizens on Jersey Coasts Where Sea Monsters Have, Given Trouble. The Landmark has mentioned at- tacks by sharks on bathers on the| New Jersey coast,in which some per- gons were killed.These attacks being 80 unusual caused much excitement and alarm and since then shark hunt-| ers have been active.The following dispatch from Homesville,N.J.,un- der date of July 25,is of local inter-- est because Iredell people have inter- ests there: *“When Captain Jack Benson's crew of pound-net.men came into the sta- tion of the Ship.Bottom fishery on Long Beach,five miles above Beach Haven,this morning,they towed be-hind their motorboat a ~600-pound shark,10 feet 8 inches lone.This is the Jargest captured since the mon-' ster fish from southern waters began! their raid on the New Jersey coast. In the boat were four other sharks,! two of them five-footers and,two four- footers.All of them had been taken in the morning draw of the nets. “The Ship Bottom had a highly ex-| citing battle with their —ferocious game.The big shark in’particular tore around at a great rate “when drawn to the side of the boat.Captain enson,a muscular man,pounded it repeatedly on the head with a heavy fron.bar,finally dazing it enough to tllow one ofthe hands to lasso its tail.

The annual Farmers’Institute at the State Farm Saturday had a small attendance.A large crowd had been expected from this and other counties but early in the day the clouds indi-' cated a rainy day and few risked it. There were about forty farmers from, Union “county and a few scattering from other counties. The institute for the farmers was; the |north of Mr.Franklin held under the arbor Taylorsville railroad. ‘S.Sherman,State entomologist,con- ducted the meeting-and introduced the speakers.Mr.W.F.Pate:of the State department of agronomy,was the first speaker and discussed —soil improvement. .Mr.Pate said there are only two ways to improve soil—make a home for the plant and properly feed .the plant.The State cuarantees the ti- tle of land to the landowner because it is believed that the landowner will Improve it.When the Jandowner fails to do this the State takes the land away from him gradually by tax-!

R.Hudson,State director of demon- stration work.He spoke of the value }of nitrogen and other substances to the soil.He says there must be /more earning capacity on the farm— soils should be produeing twice as much as they are.Many of the soils can hive their earning capacity doubled by dep plowing.Shallow soil will not let in air and hold the moisture like deep soil.All plant |food must have moisture and air.In regard to cover crops Mr.Hudson ar- gued that it is better to turn them under until the land is strong and then begin cutting them. Mr.I.S.Millsaps,district agent of demonstration work,spoke next and recretted the feet thatthe peeple-of Iredell county showed such a low per centage of wealth-——$377—as compar- ed with those of Towa,who show $3,- 386.He argued that as long as the farmers of Tredell persist in taking: everything from their land and leave nothing toe protect it from washing or to retain‘its fertility,they will be poor,He wants to see from a third to a half of the land left in’cover crops. Mr.Broom,a farmer-of |Union | county,discussed the reason why the! farmers are so poor.Ife understands | that it takes all the mroney from the! different crops to pay for the meat nd other things that the people huy from the Northwest. leorn to feed their cotton themselves and have a money crop.In re- gard to the eomplaint of the scarcity of Jabor in the State.Mr.Broom that in)North Carolina rej acres of land to each arm laborer,while in Towa there j zie ©More live stock should ie as thy:onod carl TWostettler, tock work,urged that morc at- nition be given to raising live stac! ord to grow live stock,for New Fall Staple Merchandlise!

The Deutschland,the giant Germansubmarine,cleared.the United Statesshoresat.8.30.o’clock Wednesdaynightapparentlyunobservedbyhos-tile craft.No untoward incident .marred the departure of the Deutschland shortlybeforenightfall.The vessel,accom-panied only by a tug and a newspaper dispatch boat,began an 18-mile dashChesapeakebay.to.the Virginia capes;which ended about twohourslater,when her last light blinked out.in the gloom, None of the allied cruisers which had been waiting to intercept the sub-sea liner nor.the United States neu-trality,ships which have bedn pa-trolling the neutral line so closely re- cently was in sight at the time of thesubmarine’s departure from the capes. Whether-the Deutschland suhmerg- ed before reaching the three mile limit is unknown;The night was,dark and a heavy sea was running,hence it was impossible to discern her movements at the distance she was from the two accompanying boats.They only know that she disappeared tahermed and that to all appearances she had a clear field ahead to,a point where she couldcompletelysubmergeinsafety.The Deutschland cleared from Balti-more Tuesday afternoon with a cargo of rubber,nickel,and possibly gold, 23 days after her sensational arrival in American waters from Bremen.The Deutschland arrived early Wed= nesday morning at a cove up Chesa- peake bay,where she remained hidden. Several hours previous to her finaldashfor near Tangier island,about 50 miles above Cape Henry.,It was shortly before 6 o’clock Wednesday afternoon that the first sight of her was obtain- ed.Apparently she was about five»miles away and was low in the water, only her conning tower showing.As the Deutschland came on it was ap- parent that she was carrying false su- perstructure,slightly lower than her conning tower.It was straw colored and blended with the oil skin coats worn by her crew who eeewied the deck.The last seen of the Deutsch- land by the accompanying tug boat disappearing lights as she submerged. “Just as she started out to sea,” said the captain of the tug boat,“Cap- tain Koenig and the crew of the Deutschland came on deck and.gave three rousing cheers for ‘America and the American people.’The sea was rough,and the spray was splashing high,but the hearty cheers -of the men of the Deutschland rang clearly over the waves.” The Deutschland is presumably making its undersea passage home- ward safely. “I Die For My Country!”Last Words of Casement. Roger Casement,former British knight and consul,was hanged at 9 o’elock yesterday morning in Penton- ville:jail,London,for high treason. He—was-eonvicted of —eonspiring to cause an armed revolt in Ireland and with having sought German aid to that end. Two hours before the execution a -e¢owd of men,women and-ehildren gathered before the prison gates. Twenty minutes before Casement mounted the scaffold the great prison bell.commenced to toll.-The sound cheers from the crowd,mingled with some groans. At 9 o'clock the crowd had swollen “to such proportions that it extended for two blocks from the prison front. At one minute after 9 a single stroke of the big bell announced that the trap had been sprung.It was the signal for a mocking,jeering yell from the crowd,which suddenly died away into dead silence. Delay in Crossing the River. The train did not get across the Catawba bridge yesterday,as was expected.It will not be able to cross before Sunday,if then.The delay is due to the fact that the piies struck rock on the Iredell side and the work was retarded.It was also expected that another pile-driver would be put to work on the Catawba side.This could not be done.

Catawba Will Join Iredell and Other Counties in Bridging the Riyer. At a special meeting ‘of the,com- missioners of Catawba county at New~ ton Wednesday,it was decided to bor- row $50,000,or more if necessary,.to join Caldwell,Alexander and Iredell counties in building bridges across the Catawba river—one bridge between Catawba and Caldwell,to connect:with’ Lenoir;one between Catawba ‘and Al- exander..and-three .between,,Catawha and Iredell.~All the bridges.would take the place of bridges washed away except one between Catawba and Iredell,which would be a new bridge ~—in the vicinity of the Southern Pow-er Co’.s development at Lookout.The other Catawba-Iredell bridges would take the place of the Statesville-Buf-falo Shoals and :Mooresville ‘toll bridges. Chairman Mills of the Iredell board is in favor of joining with Catawba in the Catawba-Iredell bridges and it.is believed the board,at its meeting ngxt Monday,will sanction the proposition. The other gounties will doubtless join Catawba also,as the Catawba-Alexan- der,and Catawba-Caldwell bridges were county bridges. The chairmen of the boards of com- missioners of the four counties were to have met at Hickory Tuesday night to discuss plans for rebuilding the bridges,but the Iredell,Alexander and Caldwell chairmen were unable to get to the meeting.Chairman Mills,accompanied by Sheriff Deaton and Messrs.D.M.Ausley and Locke McKnight,started to Hickory by au- tomobile,but they were unable to get across the river when they reache the Catawba,-StatesviHe ferry,as the ferryman ‘could aot be located. It is important that these bridges be rebuilt promptly and it is hoped the commissioners of the counties in- terested will get together on plans that will push the work to early com- pletion. ~Deaths.

Little Miss Annie Blair Bristol. daughter of Mr.and Mrs.L.B.Bris- tol,has recovered from an-attack of varioloid—a mild form of smallpox. There was no quarantine and no pub- lic notice given of the case,as the law does not now require quarantine ‘in smallpox cases,proceeding on the theory that vaccination,and not quar antine is the only sure preventive of smallpox.For this reason the fact that there was a case of the disease in town was not generally known un. til a few days ago.While Mf.Bris; ‘ol did not object:to quarantine regu lations,they were not imposed be+ cause it is not the’custom now.

The battle was an attempt to break the bars and burst the confining rates.It failed,and,with its failure, fhe high seas fleet sank again into impotence.*“The Germans claim Jutland as ayictory,but in essence they admitthecontrary,since the object of aniavalbattleistoobtaincommandoftheseaanditiscertainthatGermanyhasnotobtainedthatcommand, whilst Great Britain has not lost it. -“Tests of this assertion are easy to apply.Has the grip of the Brit- ishblockade relaxed since May 31? It,has not.On the contrary,it hastightened.-“The Germans themselves will ad-mit the increasing difficulty of i porting raw materials and foodstuffs and of exporting their manufactures; hence,the violence of their invectives against Great Britain.”.Mr.Balfour argues that if theyhadfeltthemselyesonthewaytomaritimeequality,the Germanswouldnothavesoloudlyadvertised the Deutschlandincident,the whole interest of which,in German eyes,’was to prove their ability to eludethebarrierraisedbytheBritishfleet between them and the outer world.

This is not-regarded by Germany as an isolated case,but 2s Germany’s answer to what is termed the doctrine of armed.merchantmen adopted —by Great Britain .even ‘before the war, and to alleged illegalities of which, according to the German claims, Great Britain has repeatedly been guilty during the war.For this reas- !on an important place in the review furnished’the “Associated Press on Admiral ‘von Holtzendorff’s —instruc- tions is taken up in a recapitulation of alleged violations of international law charged against British ships. “While in the first year of the wat,”says:the statement,“twenty proved violations of the law of na- tions by enemy merchantmen (firing upon German submarines,attempts to ram them,etc.)occurred,38 such cases were reported in the second!year,Merchantmen owned by the} allies,therefore,during the two years| violated in the grossest manner the| rules of interffational law «no less| than 58 times against our subma-| rines.This can be proved up to the| hilt..\ “The warships of Germany’s ene-| mies during the war have violated the law of nations in,three partjenlarly| extreme cases.namely,the Kaiser| Wilhelm der Grosse,tne Dresden and| the Albatross.Two cases,the Bara-| characterized not only as violations| of the law of nations and a breachof | the most ordinary tenets of humani-)|ty,but as common murder.Countless| cases in which British warships have| violated international law in their| conduct against merchantmen owned by the Central Powers or neutrals; cannot be enumerated.” “During the second year of the the British ;warships of a total of 966,320 tons ;anq Germany and her allies 10 war- |ships of 82,210 tons.The total losses for the two years of the war =are: Great Britain and her allies 49 ships of 562.250 tons.and Germany and her allies 30 ships of 191,321 tons.

European powers which have want-ed possession of the islands for mili- tary reasons are not expected to look with favor on the proposed sale to the United States and they may bring strong pressure to bear at Copenha- gen.It is recalled that failure of a similar purchase treaty in the Danish Parliament years ago was attribut- The signing of the treaty took place in New York,where Secretary Lansing and Constantin Brun,:theDanishminister,met to affix their signatures to the document.The copy which will be filed at the State De- partment was brought to Washington tonight by Assistant Solicitor Wool- Details of the pact will not be made public until it is transmitted to the Senate,at least.It is understood to provide,however,for complete ac- there shall be guaranteed protection. A clause also is included ceding to Denmark the undefined American rights of discovery in Greenland,a Danish possession. Senator Lodge emphasized in a statement tonight the possibility that| the islands,if not acquired by the’ United States,might fall into the hands of some European power and involve this government in difficulties under the Monroe Doctrine ‘which might easily lead to war’”—a.consid- eration which it is understood has been prominently before the eyes of| officials here in their negotiations for “The whom nearly 30,000 said Senator Lodge. “There is no possibility of any ma-|terial increase in population and an-| population is only 33,000,of are negroes,”; |nexation would never involve at anv!ially those who are in need of aid-orof!account of their flgod losses.Mr.Fal: |lis estimates.that if there is early ac; “The Danish Islands could be read-|tion as to the restoration of bridges ily defended from attack,occupy a) position and!per cent.in the bridges wrecked.His are of incalculable value to the Unit-|reports are based on personal inspec |tions made on foot in these stretches ‘ime the troublesome question Statehood.3 commanding strategic ed States.”a NO POLITICAL ENERGY. Secretary McAdoo Issues Warn- ing to Treasury Officials. Secretary McAdov has issued a warning to the Treasury Depart- ment officials throughout the country against undue political activity.His announcement says officials must not use their influence to coerce political action,discriminate between em- ployes or applicants for positions,so- licit or receive ‘contributions,or hold office on soliciting committees or in conventions. The circular,which is addressed to all officers in the Treasury Lepart- ment holding any presidential ap- pointment,follows: “Presidential appointees are forbid- den by statute to use their official au- thority or influence to coerce the po- litical action of any person or body, to make any contribution for a polit-ical object to any other officer of the United States or to solicit or receive contributions for political purposes or to discriminate among their employes or applicants for political reasons. “Otherwise a presidential appoint- ee will be allowed to take suck a part in political campaigns as is taken by any private citizen.except that he will not be permitted— “To hold any position as a member or—officer-of any -political committee DAMAGE!’TO’HIGHWAYS. of unimproved road in Burke county eae aenenaenace-snenrentat Engineers Estimate Damage to Bridges at $1,000,000 and Highways at $500,000.in Western Carolina.=5 State Highway Engineer W.8.Fal- lis and Dr.Joseph Hyde Pratt.ofthe State Highway Commigsion,.,have just laid before Governor Craiga de- tailed report of the flood damage to bridges and highways in western Car- olina that includes the loss of 125 spans of steel bridges of 50 feet or more each span costing around $1,- 000,000 and/datnage to highways ag- gregating around $500,000.i In the Swannanoa section of the Central Highway,through McDowell and Burke counties principally,he found the road conditions such that he estimates that $84,000 will put them in uniform serviceable condition, including _the improvements ©of stretches of road that were ‘unimprov- ed before the floods.This is a stretch of 50 miles‘of road and included three miles of improved road and 28 miles: and eight miles of.improved road and five miles of unimproved road in Mc- Dowell county:And includes.the re- building of the steel bridge across the Catawba and Greenlee and repairs for the Curtis Creek bridge,which lost a 30-foot span.Also,$5,750,es- timated to be required to rebuild the 2-mile section of the Central Highway leading to Ridgecrest,which is prac- tically impassable since the floods. Mr.Fallis and his assistant engin- eers will continue their work in the flood regions,co-operating with the county authorities and —salvaging bridges and aiding in road work,as requested,until there is definite ac- tion for general reconstruction work to begin on the Rutherfordton- Asheville highway,which is to be re- stored with the least possible delay as a main artery of travel. There is to be a strong effort to have several thousand dollars of ..the general relief fund applied to wager for needy men paid for highway and other restoration work that will serve the double purpose of aiding the needy and rehabilitating the thor;oughfares for the whole people.That there were 125 bridge spars of 50 feet or more each swept out by the western Carolina floods,representing a loss of about $1,000,000 ,and that the damage to highways was around $500,000,is the estimate put on the flood damage by State Highway En gineer W.S.Fallis and State Geolo- gist Joseph Hyde Pratt after -more than a week spent in personal inspec- tion of action damage in the variousfloodsections.They were aided by”? number of other road engineers op erating undey the direction of the State Highway Commission.

He is Helping the Methodist Cir- cuit Riders So They Can Help the People. /Gen.Julian S.Carr of Durham was a Statesville visitor Tuesday night and Wednesday and his friends here were pleased to see nim, Gen.Carr’had been spending some days,in the flood devastated districtsinthewesternpartoftheState,giv- ing attention to relief:measures.He came to |Statesville’Tuesday from Morganton. Gen.Carr gave a liberal contribu- tion to the flood relief fund of the State committee,and)how much he will give to individual cases from time to time will never be known,for his generosity is almost without lim- it,but his trip into the flood district was to look after a special ‘class of sufferers.Gen.Carr knew that manyMethodistcircuitridersinthe,rural be-|be left helpless cause their means of support,none too large at best,*was practically wiped out when the flood destroyed the crops of their congregations, These circuit riders can’t throw up other work,asotherfolkscan,but like the boy on the burning deck they must stay on the job until Conference meets. Gen.Carr's special mission was not only to help the circuit riders:and their families,but to help them to help others.He figured that if the preacher was provided for and put in good heart,he.could go ‘among the neople and cheer them.“We have the best people in the world in these mountain folks,”said Gen.Carr,“and we don’t want to Iose one of them.” And he thinks that with the preach- ers going out among the people,en- couraging them and helping them to get help to weather the storm by looking after individual ¢ases,that the people can be turned away from the despair which’would result ©in many of them.giving up and moving! awav.The plan is a practical one of helpfulness and is worthy of the big- hearted philanthropist and business man.‘ Of course rural preachers of other denominations are in the same boat as the Methodist so far as their sup- bort is concerned,but Gen.Carr is a Methodist and naturally looks after his own household first;and he-is setting a mighty good example ‘to iorof means in other denominations. His.charity.however.is by no means confined to his own churchmen.He is a liberal giver to all worthy objects. ‘districts would Floods in West Virginia—Many Lives Lost.

The Senate late Tuesday passed the bill to prevent inter-State com- merce in,products of child labor by avoteof52to12, T easure,.....Which.....already.had passed the House,was brought to a vote in the Senate upon the ineenceofPresidentWilsonafter theDemocratic:Senate caucus once haddecidedtodeferitsconsiderationun- til next.December,: Senators who voted against the bill were:Bankhead,Alabama;Bryan and Fletcher,Florida;Hardwick and Smith,Georgia;Overman and Sim-mons,North Carolina;Smith and Tillman,South Carolina;Williams, Mississippi (Democrats)and OliverandPenrose,Pennsylvania.(Repub- licans).:; Opposition to the neasure had come chiefly from Southern cotton mill owners,and the group of Southern Democrats who voted against it had fought it in caucus and maintained their opposition during the,Senate de, bate on the ground that.the regula- tion proposed is unconstitutional and would interfere with the rights of the States.Eleven Democrats from the South,Senators Swanson and Mar- tin,Virginia;Underwood,Alabama; Vardaman,Mississippi;James andBeckham,,Kentucky;Culberson andSheppard,Texas;jRansdell,Louisi- ana;Robinson,Arkansas;and Shields,Tennessee,voted for it. Biil’s Provisions Sweeping. In order to expedite consideration of the measure in conference the Sen- ate committees were appointed im- mediately after the final vote was taken.The only amendment adopted would extend the bill’s provisions to bar all products of establishments employing children from inter-State commerce.The House measure was directed only against those on which child labor actually had been employ- ed, Senator Borah did not offer theamendmenthehaddrawnattaching the immigration bill as a rider in or- der to force action on it at this ses-sion. 14 who could not read.nor write,to make it apply to children on farms and to postpone its effective date for two years,were voted down. The bill as’passed would prohibit inter-State commerce in the product of any mine or quarry im which chil- dren under 16 years of age have been employed or:in the product of any mill,cannery,workshop,factory or manufacturing —establishment in which children between 14 and 16 have been employed more than hours a day,more than 6 days a week; -earlier than 6 o’clock in the morning| or later than 7 o’clock in the evening. It would take effect one year after enactment. Tilman Hits Both Sides. During the closing hours of debate|Senator Tillman denounced.South-jern cotton mill owners _oppos- jing the bill and said that while he ibelieved it unconstitutional he was |témpted to support it because of the 'selfishness of the interests fighting it. 'He also declared Congress wes too{much -influenced by the attitude of |\labor interests. “T have been shocked,”said the |South Carolina Senator,“to see men |well educated men—who were willing ;to swell their dividends at the expense,of little children.The veil of sophist {try in their letters could not hide their heartlessness.Their _plea,|stripped of verbiage,is ‘let the chil- ;dren toil that we may live in luxury,’ ‘and yet we wonder at the spread of ;socialism and the increasing hostility of labor towards capital.” Servility of present day vote-seek- ers to organized labor,he added,pre- sented a problem as did the attitudeofpoliticians20yearsagotoconzen-trated wealth. “The Congress of the United States trembles every time.the labor unions frown,”he continued.“Capital,with its brutal cynical disregard for hu- manity,started the conflict and labor in self-defense,organized;for the struggle.; “We have ceased to legislate’in the way we know to be right and have become panderers to public opinion, or rather we are making a cowardlysutrendertothosewhovoteandde-{mand these things.I predict that in jtime a law will be passed making it,unlawful for anything to enzer’“into ‘inter-State commerce that is not de- sired by vote of laboy unions.|“The recent day uplifters of hu-manity are the counterparts of the oldlabolitionists.Those fanatics,honestjandwell-meaning as they were,de-iclared the constituticn was in leaguejwithdeathandacovenantwithhell,(and their twentieth century successors|indorse the statements in-acts if notiinwords. |“I believe in organized labor be-leause the alliance of big business and|the Republican party made necessary;some power to combat it,but unlesslaborisrestrainedbyrealleacersand|persuaded to act justly instead of be-jing fondled and slobbered over by;vote-ceekers and demagogues as isinowbeingdone,I shudder to think;what may happen.” KEATING BILL IS PASSED, Amendments to make the pro-! hibition apply only to children under| |Dr.Hill Wants Material For the MONEY MADE AND.LOS?. In the Sale of Sites Forthe ‘Ba- din Development ©—;Mrs. Smith and Mr.Bonaparte Lost.a Raleigh News and Observer. Recently the representatives of the American.Aluminum Company of Pittsburg,the’present”promoters of the Badin development,have been busy acquiring titles to water power sites below the big dam at the Nar-rows and purchasing lands for—the purpose of backing water.‘It is saidthatthis-corporation has purchased from Charles J.Bonaparte of Balti- more the property known’as.the Smith mill,and will erect there a sec- ond dam which will rarse the water to the first dam,and also a considerable way up the Uwharie river.Thus the water of the Yadkin will be made to do double duty;first generating pow- er at the big dam on the Narrows and then turning the wheels at the second dam:at the Smith“mill site, This property at one time belong- ed to a Mrs.Smith,who was a notedcharacterinMontgomerycounty,She been a.man,it is said,she would havebeenanidealpromoter,She always was a woman of force,and if she had |° had some financial scheme on foot and| another up her sleeve.She managed| to.interest Charles J.Bonaparte in|her scheme,the general result of;which was that he took over the! greater part of her land holdings at/| an enormous cost and found his name entered on both the records and | court dockets of Montgomery county.| This Mrs.Smith,in years gone ‘by,| wished to settle a $50 account which,she owed to a citizen of,Montgomerycountyandpersuadedthecreditortoacceptadeedtoalittleislandinthe|Yadkin river,above the mill site.The, was considered worthless,but the could for.his claim and took the deed. He managed to sell it for $50 to Mr.|Wooley and ex-Sheriff Clark of Mont-' gomery county.They bought it.as a} pure matter of speculation,and have!held it from that time until a month! or so ago.When the water power) corporation bought the Smith _mill| site fromtheycould fot back water over the|little island,and so they»:paid the! owners a sum said to be between $17,-| /500 and $20,000. |Mrs.Smith died a public charge in |the county home county a short time ago.Below the Smith mill site there is another fine water power site on the |Yadkin river known as Swift island. |While the power company which con-! itrols the Badin property was getting| |control of the Smith mill property,| ‘the power company of which |Mr,! |Charles E.Johnson of Raleigh is the|dominating figure,purchased the, |Swift island property from the own-ler,Mr.Charles A.Armstrong.of |Troy,and it is currently reported that |the consideration was $37,000.Other|property owners along the Yadkin jand Uwharie rivers have deeded |\ their lands for large considerations.:}% Besides the work necessary at Ba-/¢ din for the generation of power there will be constructed there many plants| and factories to use the power direct| and manufacture aluminum.Badin} will be the Pittsburg of the South,it is claimed.The other dams will ne- cessitate an increase of population. The toilers in these plants must be fed.Naturally they will be fed from the land nearest to them.This will put an increased value on every foot ,of land in Stanly and Montgomery counties and that entire section of | the State is on the threshold of great development and its people will be the beneficiaries of a rapid progress and marked prosperity.? The Army BillAccepted. Without debate the Senate has agreed to the conference réport on the army appropriation bill carrying $267,597,000 for the maintenance of the reorganized regular army and National Guard. The only criticism’of the report came from Senator Clapp of Minneso- ta,who protested against elimination of the La Follette:amendment _in- |creasing the minimum age limit for‘enlistment from 18 to 21 years with- |out consent of parents or guardian. |Because of this he voted against the |report. The bill provides for organization |of a council for,national defence to |co-ordinate transportation,industrial ;and agricultural.facilities in time of ‘stress;for relief of dependent fami- lies of soldiers in service on the Mex- ;1ean_border.and.appropriates a special sum of more than $13,000,000 for de- |velopment of aviation in the army.|The House has also agreed to the ‘report.Democratic Leader Kitchin /and Representative Dies of Texas an- /nounced if there werea roll call they would vote against the bill as finally |framed,but .there was no roll call, ‘Although the Senate conferees per-|mitted the House to reduce the total |appropriations of the army bill some |$45,000.000 from the Senate figures,‘it carries $85,000,000 more than it,did as the House originally passed it. ‘Winston -Salem People Distrib- ute Supplies in Wilkes.

Probably so,but it would be in the nature of deathbed repentance.About every child labor bill proposed in’our General Assembly has met ‘with strong opposition.The last,Legisla- ture defeated a very proper measure of this character.It was this deter- mined,and in so many instances suc- cessful,opposition to chiid iavor measures in State Legislatures that has resulted in the bill that-has just got through.Congress.,This bill The Landmark believes is wrong in prin- ciple and too drastic,»but we can thank the opposition to child,labor laws in State Legislatures for what we are about to receive.Blind to the facts;unable to see that a sentiment was growing that would compel the enactment of legislation to protect children,unreasonable ou;posftion was offered to,practically all child labor legislation.If the opponents of these measures had joined in ask- ing for reasonable regulations,laws that would have imposed no improp- er hardships on anybody would have been the result.Now we are told the Legislature,if let alone,would do the proper thing.That is to say, seeing that something would be done, the opponents of child labor restric- tions would be willing to be good—to accept the lesser evil which would be offered by State laws.The Legisla- ture of our*State was given the op- portunity—was “Tet alone’’—for years.The extremists who are mov- ed by sentiment rather than common sense,helped on by those whose busi- ness i8 affected by Southern cotton mills and who in this way hope to af- fect the business of these mills, found—as a result.of this opposition —their opportunity in Congress. In that same address Senator Over- man showed from statistics,that in North Carolina,where children are legally employed in tne mills be- tween the ages of 14 and 16,a small- er number of youths of these ages are in’prison than in any of the States where more stringent child labor laws prevail.‘The idea is,of course,that if children are at work| they are less likely to fall into evil ways.All common-sense people are agreed on that;but all common-sense and humane people agree also that it is necessary to provide some regula- tions to protect the children,to pre- vent unreasonable hardship being im- posed on them in some cases.It was the refusal to accept,at the hands of State Legislatures,the reasonable re- strictions ‘offered,that has _resulted in the unreasonable restrictions now imposed by Congress. A report comes from Berlin of a great discovery.Some smart Ger- man has found that.paper can be manufactured from cotton stalks. The discovery,it is announced,is not considered of much importance \tor Geritiany,which produces no cotton, but is pointed to as of vast impor- tance to the United States.Lincoin B.Palmer,manager of the American Newspaper Publishers’Association, is quoted as saying that although pri- 4}¢0\REDUCTION NECESSARY, It is said that a numberofcorpor- ations,the Southern Power Company being one,dre asking the vi tion commission for reductionsin tax as- sessment:for the year op account of flood.damage..It is.understood that the commission will be obliged.to ‘grant considerable reductions,the ag-|,' gregate of which will make ‘serious inroads on the tax revenue of ;the State and.coutities for the year,probably causing considerable deficit at the end of the year.Xt is further stated that the commission ‘has’no power to reduce assessments on farii lands,which are only changeable at four-year intervals,and that there is a plan to have the Legislature:pro- vide assessment reductions in taxes against flood-damaged:farms.

Educators,however,find some diffi- culty in defining just what work-that the boy does on the farm should.re- ceive an educational credit and how many credits should be allotted for the different kinds of wock which really help ‘the.boy to master progressive methods. To assist the lent c schools and teachers,the specislists in agricultural education in the States ‘Relations Service have recently pub- lished United States Department of Agriculture Bulletin 385,School Cred- its for Home Practice in Agriculture. This bulletin,which may be had free by educators as long as the depart- mert’s supply lasts,devotes a numbe> of pages to tables and examples show- ing the nature of school credit pro- jects and the amount of credit to be granted.It is recognized,however, that real co-operation on the part of the parent is essential and the author thus defines the part the parent must play in any plan for making school and farm work closer together in the interest of agricultural education. The parent should agree:(1)To permit the pupil to use specified land, ‘animals and equipment,either as a temporary owner or as a tenant so far as the needs of the project is concern- ed;(2)to grant the pupil the time needed for the work and to verify and vouch for the time record;(3)to instruct the pupil in the necessary manipulation so far as_practicable; (4)to allow the pupil the profits de- rived from his own labor and manage- ment.The last point is not always feasible,particularly wnere the pupil takes up one phase of the main_busi- ness of the farm,such as the weigh- ing and testing of milk for a dairy herd. The parent must at least give an unbiased voucher of the time and ex- pense record,and a statement that the project work was all done by the pupil.In the absence,of an advisory committee or an inspector,the parent is the judge as to when the pupil has accomplished a task successfully. When the pupil’s time.is much needed by the parent in home duties,it may be well to advise that the pupil take over some part of that home work as a project.This will insure the co-operation of the parent, although the “managerial”income|may not come to the pupil,The school should ‘not.only givecreditforworkforwhichthepupil receives pay,but should consider the relative income or profit as one im- portant factor in determining the school _rank given on the project. To insure success,it will be very agreement signed by all parties be- fore the project begins; full from the pupil and a from the parent at the end. voucher National Democratic Campaign Will Begin September 1. A decision to launch the Democrat- ic national campaign soon after Sep- tember 1,regardless of whether Con- gress still is in session then,was reached at a conference Monday be- tween President Wilson,Vance McCormick,chairman of the Demo- cratic_national committee,and Homer S.Cummings,the committee’s vice chairman.

The friends of the College are highly pleased that’ Karel Bondam has been~made—Director_of Music.| Bondam is a brilliant artist and Chopin player of great merit.To study music with this Master will be a privilege. The press of Holland says of Bondam:— “Karel Bondam is an eminent artist of extraordinary qualities, one of those real musical natures who never think of themselves but only of their art,and whom we also call not meresy virtuosi, but the poets of their instrument, “His touch is manly and full,quite free from harshness,his play altogether shows talent on a large scale,and a strong,fasci-%,nating temperament,but ruled at the same time by great intelli- vence.”—De Hofstad...The Hague. “Bondam is a Chvpin-player,such as we rarely hear nowadays. His touch and tone-gradation are magnificent,but above all it was the poetry which so characterized his play and which is lack- ing in so many Chopin-players.”-—Land en Volk.The Hague. “We are absolutely carried away by his play.Mr.Bondam has impressed us far more than many of the most celebrated pian- ists,especially with his rendering of Chopin.And as for his in- terpretation of the First Rhapsodie of Brahms,it was just grand! The energie,with tender celeriac moods shown in this composition, Was admirable.We never heard it so beautifully rendered.”— Leidsch..Dagblad.re 2 I REPAIR WORK.

The headwaters of Davidson’s river have had their woods protected from 'fires,from heavy lumbering,from reckless farming ana from erosion on {the hillsides since 1895.The headwa- |ters of the Tuckaseegec,on the other |hand,have had their woodlands burnt over,farmed,pastured and logged; tin fact,the area has been so incon-! siderately used that.in many cases l the original litter of the forest floor i has been entirely destroyed. Now the Biltmore estate,with the ‘help of the hydrographic branch of |the United .States Geological Survey. ‘has heen carrying ona study of j these two areas,The Tuckaseegee, ;thouch.it is the larger river,shows |greater fluctuations im its discharge lthan does Davidson's river,,In‘other werds.the discharge of Davidson’s |river is more uniform and even than that of the Tuckaseegee.Davidson’s from sediment; |'Tuckaseegee,at its flood-time,bears an abundance of gravel and =sand whieh it spreads out over’fertile |farm lands.

Mr.Wilson’s Efforts to Prevent)Details of the Drowning of JacktheStrike. President Wilson yesterday invitedthe’presidents of the principal rail-roads of the country to come to Wash-ington immediately to confer with him on the threatened railroad strikeand'they have accepted the invita-tion.Pending their arrival he does*not plan to see the committee of man-agers.with whom he has been meet-ing.If the President finds that anyoftherailroadpresidentscannot speak.absolutely for their roads,hemayinvitetotheWhiteHousefinancierswhocontrolthem.He wantstoconsulttheultimateauthority.The President’s action in asking for,conferences with the railroad presidents is interpreted as meaning that the’managers’committee for the roads had refused finally to concefethe8-hdur day as the President’s plan—~-~proposed;-and-the-question now is to taken up with the heads of the rail-roads themselves.The situation seems to be this: The railroads flatly -refuse to con- cede the 8-hour.day,but are willingto-arbitrate that question’and all] others before any tribunal the Presi- dent or the ‘men may decide upon. The men are willing to arbitrate some questions under certain condi- tions and.are unwilling to arbitrateothers. President Wilson Wednesday com- pleted a definite plan for settlementofthethreatenednation-wide —rail- road strike for sybmission ,to repre-sentatives of the managers and em- ployes of the railroads. The proposition framed by the President,following conferences with the managers and employes _sjnce Monday morning,proposes that the railways should concede the 8-hour day with an agreément that it will be observed.Later it probably will be proposed that a Federal commission appointed by the President or creat- ed by Congress investigate all prob- lems“which*have arisen during the present discussion.; The chief obstacles-in the way of acceptance of the.plan.jie in the in- sistence of the railroad managers on arbitration and their*opposition to an 8-hour day,and in the demand of the. employes for extra pay of time and a half for overtime. The general committee of the em- ployes,:including .640.representatives of the trainmen and enginemen on the 225 railroad.systems of the country, arrived'in Washington Wednesday night in response to a summons by their sub-committee which has been meeting with the President.The gen- eral committee has’plenary powers to accept or reject any suggestion. -The men,although refraining from discussing the plan of the President, said they thought the outlook encour- aging for a settlement. Killed His Wife,Then Himself. Dr.H.D.Harper,a prominent dent- ist of Kinston,and a former officer oftheNorthCarolinaNationalGuard,shot and instantly killed his wife at—Weaverville,Buncombe county,and Alexa while:she lay weltcring in her own blood.turned the pistol on himself.inflicting a wound from which he died a few hours later.No reason for the crime has been discovered. Dr.and Mrs.Harper were svend-ing the summer at a boarding house in Weaverville.Mrs.Harper had re- tired to take a nap,and Dr.Harper went to their room..A few minutes later two shots were heard and other guests of the house.rushing to the room,found Mrs.Harper dead and Dr.Harper lying on the floor,his hand clutching the pistol with which the crime had been committed.The ‘shooting took place at 1 o’clock Tues-day.and Harper died at an Ashevillehospitalshortlyafter3o'clock. Dr.Harper was about 32 years of age and his wife is a year younger. There is no known cause for the trag- edy except that Harper is said to have been a heavy user of intoxicants.Re- ports from Weaverville say that Mrs. Harper had threatened to leave her husband unless he stopped drinking.

A letter from Capt.Wm.West- moreland of Company E:(Statesville), to Mrs.T.S.Lazenby,young Wyck- off’s sister,gives the following de- tails,and all that are known,of the unfortunate occurrence.The letter bears date of Monday,14th.It says:“Jack’s body was found this eve- ning about 7 o’clock,in the Sound be- tween camp and Morehead City.-I tried to think he would turn up safe, but I must confess when-his body was found I was not surprised. “Jack left here Saturday evening for Beaufort to go on a.sail with a nice party—of ladies and gentlemen.He wanted to-spend,the night over there.but I told him I conld not ex- cuse him;that he would have to come back for early roll call..That is the last I saw of him.Capt.Felmet of the Asheville company and several of his men,who were very good friends of Jack,were with hisn and they say Jack got up on the unper deck of the boat and went to sleep when.they started for camp.It was getting late and most all of them went to slé@ep. When they arrived at the dock and woke up some of them asked where Jack was.They saw his coat and hat hanging there.They came up to mycompanyandcouldnotfindhim.He must have.rolled off the boat while asleep. “This letter is written with deep regret,but I feel that I have done my part to the best of my ability.” While none of his companions heard any noise or anything to indi- cate that any member of the party had disappeared until the boat reach- ed the dock at camp,that is not strange,as most or all of them were asleep on the trip from Beaufort to camp;and.the only reasonable theo- ry of the young man’s death is that he rolled off the boat while asléep, and being asleep when he struck the water’was unable to make an outcry or struggle for life. The death-of-this-young—man_is_pe- culiarly sad.He was 22 years old last June...In May he —was married to Miss Mary Dunlap,daughter of Mr.and Mrs:J.C.Dunlap of Betha- ny.About a month later he.was called into service.His discharge from the service had been applied for and when it‘reached Camp.Glenn he lay a corpse..Had he lived he would have come home to his young wifeandmother,to stay with them,the day his remains were brought:home for burial..He was the only son of the late Sheriff John H.and Mrs.EI- len Frizelle Wyckoff,and is survived by his widow,his mother and two sisters—-Mrs._T.S.Lazenby and Mrs. Floyd Lippard. Among the out-of-town people who were here for the funeral were the following:Mr.Maurice Dunlap,Mrs. Ralph Fleming,Mr.J.D.Woodward and Miss Leila Woodward of Char- lotte;Mrs.J.M.Brown,Mrs.Paul Carroll and daughter,Camille,of Hamlet;Mr.M.W.White,Mr.and Mrs.T.B.Smith and.son,George, and Mrs.A.E.Brown of Mooresville;Mr.J.C.Dunlap,Miss Julia DunlapandMasterJamesDunlapofBethany.

Co2bperation of all partics interest-ed in agricultural development and-the progress of the South,to securelétdtionoftheproposed$20,000,- on 00-government air nitrate plant intheSouth,is urged in a statement is-sued by Charles S.Barrett,presidentoftheFarmers’Union,.Mr.Barrett cautions that “thewell-meant but unfortunate competi- tion”over the location of the nitratepleut,threAtens the chance of any outhern water power being selectedfordevelopment.He believes it isBappytantfor\all parties interestedtoworktogetherforsomeoneloca- tion in the central South,where am- ple military security in time of war will be provided and the largest ag-ricultural need will be served,at the lowest cost for transportation and forrawmaterial.“My personal opinion is this plantshouldbelocatedinthecentralSouth, where 75 per cent.of our annual pro-duction of commercial fertilizers is uged,”said Mr.Barrett.“If it be found that Muscle Shoals,on the Tén- “nessee river ‘in Alabama,or any oth-erlocation)in.‘or rear the centre of t ith or Southeast,fulfills these edtditions,furnishing adequate pow- er and access to raw material and to consuming markets,that place should certainly be chosen.This is a prob- lem for the government engineers to powrmine after careful investiga- ion.” jg Don’t Sell Cotton in Seed. That the practice of selling cotton_in the,seed is responsible for “Serious losses to producers in many sections,has been demonstrated by investiga- tions by marketing specialists of theUntited“States Department of Agri- cultyre.”It is impossible,it is said,to-determine accurately before ginning -|CAN-TEST.YOUR OWN SEED. 6}No Excuse For Failure to Geta ig?Stand. Dr.Teit Butler in Progressive Farm- er.6 a There is no excuse for failure to obtain a stand of any crop,because of dead seed;for the germination of any seed can be quickly tested by any one. It is reported that:the crimson clover ‘seed on the market this year are a combination of conditions.A large per cent.of the seed sowed:in this country is imported.Much of it reach- the same season it is produced.In other words,the se¢d available for planting in 1916 are largely of the 1915 crop.It is a well known fact that crimson clover seed deteriorate rather rapidly,or old seed are apt to be low-in germination and new seed are,therefore,much more likely to give a high per cent.of germination. But the season of 1915 in the foreign countries from which we import most of our crimson clover seed -was wet and unfavorable for saving crimson clover seed,and the same conditions in this country this year,and espe- cially the severe storms in the South, have very greatly cut short the home- grown ‘supply of seed available this year. Those who were fortunate enough to save their own seed,even though they must be sowed in the chaff,are pretty certain to have seed of good germination,unless they were har- vested before fully matured. The Southern farmer must wake up to the necessity ag well as to the economy of saving his own seeds,if he expects to get seed that -can—be depended upon.But if seed must be purchased,get a guarantee of the per cent.of live seed from the seller and then test them before planting. A fair sample of 100 seeds,placed betweer,moist cloths or blotters for a few days,will tell any farmer about what per cent.will germinate under good soil conditions. 100 live seed to produceia stand,it will require 1383 seeds to give 100 that will germinate.Or,in words,if 15 poundstof crimson clover, 100 per cent.of which will germinate, are required to give a good stand,it the same stand if only 75 per cent.of them will germinate. Again,we repeat,that there is no stand of any crop because of dead seed,for any one can test the germi- nation of his seed for himself.SS ******* YOUR Boy, * This is a good time to think of your boy.If you do not look after him in the right way, some one will do it in the wrong way.Begin now! Teach your boy to follow in the footsteps of his “father,to respect the law,to obey his pa- rents,to regard the rights of all men,to honor virtue,to re- spect womanhood,and_to de- pend upon no one but himself for advancement. Teach him that the Golden Rule of life will be found in the Ten Commandments.They are short.They have survived the ages.They stand today un- changed and unchallenged. They comprise the first great written law given by God to man.Before these few com- mandments~all-man-made laws fade into insignificance.Teach them to your boy.There is ee ee e HE HH EE rather low in germination,owing-to es this country too late for planting If only 75 seed| out of 100 germinate,and it requirestO”!y ‘ other| will require 20 pounds of seed to give, excuse for a failure to obtain avgoody j presence, a a a a ee a [King.George Visited.Front,.|.

An examination into the causes of sickness showed that almost,all were preventable,the chief ‘causes beingerrors.in dief,the use of alcohol,to-bacco,unventilated living rooms,dus- ty,dark,unventilated,factories and workshops.: The committee was of the opinion that praper living that would bring about a reform in habits and living conditions would easily reduce the cost of illness to one-tenth the pres- ent sum,as Wwage-earners for the most part are able-bodied men and women.The committee believes fur- ther that compulsory health insur- ance similar to that adopted in Great) Britain last year would also be an ef- DM ARK OTHERS AS reneeMOTORCARFOREACHMILE.; and nobody can make anything else! its area of } elevation;| i tana ymin Man toa a!)in bal BAD OR WORSE.| Measles and Other Common Dis- eases as Fatal as Infantile Pa-| ralysis,Bay | Bulletin State Board of Health.} As great as has been the scourge| of infantile paralysis throughout thecountryforthepastthree.months,|parmeulécly in New ‘York city,thereasbeenanepidemicofmeaslesal-| ber of cases and not far behind in|mortality ‘ard serious after”“effects.| There were during the months of May, June and July,9,710 cases ofmeasles| in New York city while there were 3,502 cases of infantile paralysis.Dr,|F.S.Crum says of the seriousness of measles:“It ranks with smallpox in!communicability;with scarlet fever in mortality,and has serious compli- cations and after effects.Its cause,| like the cause of infantile paralysis,| is not yet known.”| Other diseases outranking infantile paralysis in the number of cases in|New York city during the pest three| ,months were tuberculosis and diphthe-| jria..Against 3,502 cases ‘of intantile paralysis there were 4,846,cases of| tuberculosis,and 4,291 case of diphthe-) tia.There were,also,8,201 casesof | whooping cough and 1,591 cases of| scarlet fever.| Infantile paralysis i§a spectacular|jdisease.A death from this cause is |given publicity while no account isusuallytakenofadeathfrommeasles,This is due partly to the suddenness and novelty of the disease and partly to the elements -of real tragedy con- nected with it,while on the other hand we have measles with us always and think we know all abopt it,when asa matter of fact we.know almost as much about infantile paralysis as we do about measles. _While the best skill of the countryisworkinguyontheproblems“of thecauseandcureofinfantileparalysis, the other figures quoted are a remind- er of the fact that there are other dis- case problems yet to be solved.

Messrs.Kitchin and Page _spoke against the measure.Mr.Kitchin characterized it as “criminally waste-ful.”He said “T denounced this building pro- gramme two months ago and I cannot see any difference now.If it was wrong then it is wrong now,and more | 80,because since then two great na-~val powers have lost 100,000 tonnageeachinbattles.I tell you that we arenow.in second place among the navies of the world.I want to call attention td the enormity of the programmé.It increases within three years by more than $120,000.000 the construction programmes of all the nations on earth for three years prior to the out-break of the European war.And yetyousaythatthiscountryisnotcra-zy;that we are sane and conserva- tive.y this action you are takingtodayyoumaketheUnitedStates,in dollars and cents,‘the greatest mili- taristic naval nation in the world,that the world has ever seen.”; Mr.Pare was also sharp in his crit- icisms.By inference he charged Sec- retary of the Navy Daniels with hav- ine gone back on an agreement. During the debate the Republicans insisted that they had led the way, toward increases and that the admin- istration-was-not-entitled to-all of the credit.Revublican Leader Mann,advocat- ing the increases,declared it was or- dinary wisdom to prepare for “what we hope will never come.I want to keep out of war,”he said,“but we should be prepared to protect our rights.at home and abroad.The cred- it will belong to the Republican side for the votes that will pass the larg- er programme.”:The defence programme,which ap-proval of the naval bill by the House virtually completes.has been the most important achievement of thesessionandhas_involved appropria- tions aggregating $661,418.000.In ad- dition to the navv bill,it included re-organization of the regular army andNationalGuard,bringing the enlisted peace strength of the anmy to 187.000 men,capable of expansion to 229.000 men in time of stress,and providing a’Federalized National Guard which at full strength will number 450,000 men.

To settle the differences between the railroad companies and their em- pléyes,which threaten a nation-wide ‘strike,President Wilson |proposes that the companies grant the men the 8-hour day;that the demand for ex- tra pay for overtime and other dif- ferences and adjustments be referred to a small body of impartial men,to he appointed by the Président,these ‘to make observations and report the facts as found, The employes accepted the propo- sition.The railroads refused,insist- ing that the whole question be arbi- trated. In urging the railroad managers to accept the proposition,because in_his opinion the railroads are contendingforaprinciplewhichitseeminglyis impossible to apply to the present sit- uation,the President dramatically de-clared:0 “If a strike comes,the public will know where the responsibility rests.Tt will not be upon me.” Refusing acceptance for the pres- ent,but not givine a fina]answer, Hale Holden,president of the Bur- lington roads and spokesman for the 83 railroad officials,urged the Presi- dent to uphold the principle of.arbi- tration,and declared his.plan would“place in peril all that has been ac-complished in the peaceful adjust-ment of labor controversies by meth-odgs_of arbitration.”Mr.Holden in- sisted on arbitration because “it is essentially the common right of ev- ery citizen,of whatever condition -in life,to be heard.”and because expe- rience “has put the right to claim ar- bitration as a method of settling such controversies.beyond auestion.”Hearguedthatthe8-hour day is imprac- ticable in railroading,and said the roads are willing for the Inter-State Commerce Commission or any other~disinterested body “to arbitrate ~thewholequestion.The demand for the 8-hour day is in reality,he declared,only_an indirect plea for “an enor- mous increase in wages”and saidthat“in this .instance for those de- manding a change to refuse to submit their demands to arbitration is inde-fensible.”. W.G.Lee,head of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,gave out a brief statement on behalf of the men, nointine out that in accepting Pres-jdent Wilson’s plan the emoloyes “surrendered a.very large portion of *their demands”while the railroad companies “seem about as unwilling to accent suggestions from the Pres-ident of the United States as theyhaveinthepastrefusedtoconsider requests from their employes,” The President Saturdav issued the following statement to the public: “T have recommended sion of the 8-hour day—that is,the substitution of an 8-hour dav for thepresent10-hour day in all the exist- ing practices and agreements.I madethisrecommendationbecauseIbeliev- ed the covcession right.The 8-hour day now undoubtedly has the sanctionofthejadementofsacictyinitsfavorandshouldbeadoptedasabasisforwages,even where the actual work tohedonecannot,be completed within8hours. “Concerning the adjustments.which should be made,in justice to the rail- roads and their stockholders,in the payments and privileges to whichtheirmenarenowentitled(if such adjustments are necessary)there is a wide divergence of opinion.“The railroads which have already adopted the 8-hour day do not seem to be at any serious disadvantage in re-spect of their cost of operation as compared with the railroads that have retained the 10-hour dav,and calcu- lations as to the cost of the change must,.if.made now.be made without regard to any possible administrative economies or readjustments.,“Onlv experience can make it cer- tain what rearrangements would hefairandequitableeitheronbehalfof the men or on behalf of the railroads. That experience would be a definite gruide to the Inter-State Commerce Commission.for example,in deter- mining whether,as a consequence of the change,it would be necessary and right to authorize an-increase of rates for the handling and carriage of freight (for passenger service is notaffected)..i“IT,therefore,proposed that the de- mand for extra pay for overtimemadebythemen,and the contingentproposalsoftherailroadauthoritiesbepostvoneduntil.facts shall havetakenthenlaceofcaléulationsand——-forecast_with regard to the effects-ofj—a change to the 8-hourday:that,inthe.meantime,while experience was developing .the ‘facts;I should seekand,if need be,obtain authority fromCongresstoappointasmallbodvofimpartialmentoobserveandthor- ,oughly acouaint themselves with theresults,with a view to reporting toCongress‘at the earliest possible time‘the facts disclosed by:their inauiries,hut without recommendation of ‘anykind,and,that it should then be en-tirely open to either or both narties to the present controversy to give no-tice of a.termination of the presentagreementswithaviewtoinstitutinginquiryintosuggestedreadjustments‘of pay or practice.“This seems -to bepracti¢aitandventirely fair programmeandIthimocthatithe®public has theright,torexpect adedptatice,” a eee HAY): the conces-| a thoroughly}, SERIOUSLY HURT ‘Mr.Deal Knocked Down at Ca-tawba —Negro ChauffeurUnderBond.

Statesville Merchants Would Test Hen Fruit,Cliange Auto Law,Have More Special Days and a .Band —Live Topics Discussed at Last Meeting. The Merchants’Association held a very busy session at the Commer- cial Club Friday night,several mat- ters of vital importance hot only to the merchants,but the public in gen- eral,coming before the body.The first of these was the matter of re- quiring that.all eggs offered for sale on the Statesville market be candled. The candling of eggs is the only safe mezns of ascertaining which are goodandwhicharebad,except where one has personal knowledge of the dates on which the eggs were laid.And judging from the number of “baderes”which ‘get by the merchantsandintothe-hands of the consumers, little or no care is being exercisedhysomeoftheproducers.A few of the retail and wholesale grocers and produce dealers have been candling eges for some time,but the practice is not general.The idea Is to have all the grocers and produce dealers agree to candle every egg before it isboughtfromtheproducers,and thus force the latter to market only good eggs.As jt now is,the merchants and the consumers are the losers.If the farmers and poultrymen who market eggs will give the dealers their co-operation,they will eventual- ly reap the benefit through increased prices for their eggs,as guaranteed fresh eggs will’always bring thehighest.prices.. President A.W.Bunch.who brought the matter to the attention of the as- sociation,exhibited advertising mat- ter and newspaper clippings telling of the action of the.produce dealers in his home town of,Columbia.Tenn., where all eggs are now candled be- fore being marketed.Tennessee haslegislationonthematterinaddition to the national pure food laws,and the Columbia merchants are simply backing uw the law.Mr.Bunch ap-pointed®Messrs.A.Y.Alexander, Fred.B.,Phifer and J.L.Sherrill a committeé to take -thé matter up*with the grocers and produce dealers of the town,and to also ascertain if there has,.been any legislation along this line in North Carolina.¥“The Auto Law. *Statesville’s automobile speed Jaw was also discussed by the association. That the present law of.eight miles an_hour is little more,than a “farce,” by reason of the fact that it is vio- lated by practically every automobile drivér,was admitted by all,and it was the sense of the meeting that the law should be changed,except as to the business district,where —traffic isheaviest.It was pointed out that a hyman being usually walks four miles an hour and an ordinary horse will trot at the rate of eight miles an hour,while the speed of what is termed a real driving horse is fromtento.12 miles an hour.It was ar- gued.therefore,that automobiles should not be expected to run on such slow speed except in the business dis-trict,and it was decided,to ask the city authorities to change the law so as to allow a sneed of 12 or 15 milesoutsidethebusinesssection,and then limit the speed to the allowance of the law by a strict enforcement of thelaw.: The committee apnointed at the Ju- ly meeting ‘to go before the aldermen and ask that the city require the parking ‘of automobiles in the center of the street in the business district. was continued with instructions to al- so ask the aldermen to change the au- tomobile speed law as mentioned ahove.The committee is composed of Messrs.J.A.Conner,R.L.Poston and W.H.Morrison. Special Days and a Band. The advisability of having -more “special days”in Statesville to draw the péople together and furnish wholesome ‘entertainment,was brought to the attention of the asso- ciation by Mr.Frank M.Chamber- lain and resulted in considerable dis-enssion.The failure to celebrate the Fourth of July.it was pointed out. had left the town without any special entertainment day this summer,and it was the reneral opinion that a spe- cial day of some kind should be ar- ranged for.The secretary mentioned the fact that the people of the sur- rounding country were looking to Statesville for such events,inquiries having came from Hickory,Newton,Taylorsville.Stony Point.Moores- ville and other towns relative to the Fourth of July celebration.It was arreed that one of the first moves should be to secure the oreanization of a good band,which will furnish music on svecial occasions and ac-cordingly there was a motion to ask the Mayor and board of aldermen,as trustees of the town,to make an e& fort to collect the band instruments hourht a few vears ago through,nub- lie subscriptions.When the band in- struments were purchased it.was the understanding that they should be public property and not the property €the members of the band usingthem.and now that the band has dis-handed the Merchants’Associationfeélsthattheinstrumentsshould‘becollectedforusebythenewhand which it hopes to organize.J.Paul Leonard,R.L.Poston and A.Y.Alex-ander were named the committee to*o before the aldermen and presenttho,matter.

The army appropriation bill was unexpectedly vetoed Friday by Pres- ident Wilson because he would not accept certain provisions in the re- vision of the articles of war,forced and commonly said in army circles to be in the interest of certain retired officers “at outs”with the army. Chairman Hay of the House mili- tary committee at once re-introduced revising the articles of war strick- vision at all would go through with |the bill in this Congress. |Chairman Chamberlain,of the Senate military affairs committee, announced that the Senate would re- insert the revision approved by the but stricken out in the House,and that the situation had resolved itself into a contest between the Senate and House on one hand and Mr,Hay on the other.The tangle threatens to delay the adjournment of Congress. The President’s veto,one of the few he has exercised,marks anoth- er stage in the long fight between the army and Chairman Hay.The ar- my charges Hay with defeat of the Continental army and universal train- ing plans,and the substitution of Na- tional Guard reorganization,which it opposed. The articles of war fave not been revised in a hundred years and are said to be sadly deficient for dealing with conditions which growth of the army and development of the nation require.The War Department is es- pecially anxious for changes to enable army officers to deal adequately with problems arising dyring the present Mexican service.Included in the re- vision marked out by Congress,over the objection of the President and the War Department,was a_provision which exempted retired officers from court martial and army discipline,if not-actually from army control,and placed them under the jurisdiction of civil courts.It is common under-standing among army officers that the section covered the case of a certain retired officer,formerty regarded as tion,who was preparing to write book and hesitated to do it while lie ble to discipline. The president in his veto,however, made no reference to this phase of the situation.. a To Become Law in a Year. —Without~debateor record vote,thechildlabor.bill was accepted by the Senate amendments.It will become a law one year after,President Wil- son signs it.As it originally,passed the House the measure prepared to bar from in- ter-State commerce products on which child labor actually had been employ- ed»As amended by the Senate and now perfected,it prohibits shipment between the States of all products ofanyestablishmentwhichemployschildlabor. caeeenemnieneaieaimmenanteieememannemrmanel Cure For Cholera Morbus. “When our little boy,now seven years old,was a baby he was cured of cholera morbusbyChamberlain's Colic,Cholera and /Diar-rhoea Remedy,"’writes Mrs.Sidney Simmons,Fair Haven,N.Y.“Since then other mem-bers of my family have used this valuablemedicineforcolic“and bowel troubte withgoodsatisfactionandI.gladly endorde it aa aremedyofexeionalmerit.”Obtainableeverywhere, the estimated|‘server,from which paper these facts| VETOED THE ARMY BILL.' into the bill by the House conferences| the measure with the entire’section’ en out and the declaration that no re-| President and the War Department,| a power in shaping military legisla-| House of Congress Friday with the! |_Heads of divisions |the recommendations ;tee,adopted bv the conferences with the board,to haveemployesunder ‘them with the view -of retrenching;possible.While|{and saving wherever /no positions have been abolished,di- ;Vision heads are to go carefully over payrolls and cut out any force thatcanbeeliminated.

The Landmark is frank to say that it doesn’t know whether the exchange charged by bankers is in all cases an improper charge.It knows,by the testimony of bankers,that the prac- tice in some cases is greatly «abused and amounts to an unjust and im- proper charge.There may be cases where the expense of collection would warrant the banker in making a charge;and if so the charge should be allowed;but the privilege,if war- ranted at all,should be hedged about so that it could not be abused by mak- ing excessive or unwarranted charg- es.So much by way.of explanation.

They considered only the canger to their craft,by which “we have our wealth.”Whether that wealth was gained properly or improperly,was not the issue;whether it was better that Diana and the temple should go, they did not discuss.They did not want the craft endangered because it meant money to them.That was hu- man nature when Paul preached at Ephesus;it has been human nature since the beginning of time and will so continue to the end. “Save the country banks!”is the battle-cry and the impression is left that the country banks are about to be destroyed and that this will hurt rural dwellers,etc.,etc.It would be well for the public to find the facts before joining in the cry against the order.Before John Skelton Williams| made his crusade against oppressive and illegal interest charges,many of the bankers defended the high- handed and lawless practice.They contended that it was necessary to their business and they brazenly and defiantly set the law aside.After) the Comptroller of the Currency’s publicity campaign,at least some of the banks sawa light and discontin- ued the practice,while others,if ther continue it,are not so bold about it. The facts to be found are these: Is a charge for the collection of checks legitimate?Would its aboli-tion destroy the country banks?|If the exchange charge is necessary to the existence of the country banks, is the existence of the so-called coun- try banks so necessary and impor- tant to rural dwellers that.this ad- vantage far surpasses the cost of ex- change?It should be fairly easy to determine these facts through those authorized to make the investigations. The so-called country banks in small towns and villages— are of comparatively.recent origin.

The friends of the College are highly pleased thatKarelBondamhasbeen,made Director of Music. Bondam is a brilliant artist and Chopin player of great merit.To-study music with this Master will be a privilege. The press of Holland says of Bondam:— a “Karel Bondam is an eminent artist of extraordinary qualities, one of fhose real musical natures who never think of themselves but-only of their art,and whom we also call not merevy virtuosi, but the poets of their instrument. “His touch is manly and full,quite free from’harshness,his play-attogether shows talent on a large scale,and a strong,fasci- nating temperament,but ruled at the same time by great intelli- gence,”'—+De Hofstad.The Hague.i/ “Bondam is a Chopin-player,such as we rarely hear nowadays. His touch and:tone-gradation are magnificent,but above all it was the poetry which so characterized his play and whieh is lack- ing in so many Ghopin-players.’’--Land en Volk.The Hague. “We are absolutely carried away by his play.Mr.Bondam has impressed us far more than many of the most celebrated pian- ists,especially with his rendering of Chopin.And as for his in- terpretation of the First Rhapsodie of Brahms,it was just grand! The energie,with tender elegiac moods shown in this composition, was admirable.We never heard it so beautifully rendered,”— Leidsch Dagblad..i REPAIR WORK.

I could dwell on this,but I amafraidofthewastebasketandsome- body might say:it’s not much news anyway.-But it is.Anyway,a few days ago a young gountry farmer and his wife came in to do some trading and after the lady had bought what few goods I could sell her,she said: “J forgot my hose.”I asked her what pricé,and she said about 10 or 15 cents.as that wa.as high as shecouldaffordtogo.Her husband hasafarmandover$1.000 at interest and same farm people buy dear silk hose, too.But not so many.But wait.

ReDienteechtAtANTILS Recently the old ‘story,that Hon. W.J.Bryan would,make his home in Ashville,was revived.One might have aecepted the report as probably trud—for it is hard to understand why apybody would live in Nebras- “ka wh8n they could live in North ~Caroliria—had the narrator not spoil- ed it sll by saying that Mr.Bryan would tseek election to the United. _States*Senate from North Carolina-after He had become a resident of the State.*That is so palpably absurd ‘that it discredits the whole story. The Democratic Senators who vot- edwith the Republicans to bring the -jmmigfation bill before the Senate,i failed ‘to accomplish anything.Presi- dent ee “put out the word”that they cQuld pass the bill but if it came to hi with the literacy test he would veto if Five of the ten Democrats, seeingnothing to be accomplished by passing a_bill certain to be vetoea, changéd their votes and the immi- gration.bill was dropped.The Demo- erats Who voted to bring up-the bill ‘were fearnest champions of the measure. <r ;¥.Windsor,a writer in Popular -Mechanics’Magazine,explains the _paper jphortage this way:Wood pulp was pt on the free list a few years .2go;fhe war has prevented the im- pertain of paper and wood pulp and otr pulp mills are unable to ‘supply,the.demand.A pulp mill costs from a million dollars up and -eapita}ists don’t care to invest in pulp :mills because they fear a rush of for- eign gulp as soon as the war is over, ‘which rush aforesaid would make the pulpiil investment unprofitable.A tine argument for'a protective tariff. The grotectionists can always find -a‘remedy -in the.tariff for every con- ‘dition,’It is true,however,that if oe could be made to believe ‘Mr.Windsor’s theory the number of _.,hewspaper,advocates of a protective -:tariff,"s0 far-as it applied to their _particélar’business at least,would he materially increased. 4 akPEi RAE,EhTT, ae The:German Roman Catholic Cen- /tral Varein,which at its meeting in| :New York urged the 3,000,000 Catho- _dic-voters in this country to unite and use their influence at the polls ,“whee it will best subserve the high| and lioly principles”for which Cath-| olics i#tand,were doubtless doing| what they thought best for the Cath- ‘olic Ghurch,but it may be questioned -ifthey were doing the best forgthe For_years very noticeable! attenipts have been made in this -country to arouse Protestants against what I alleged to be the danger of -»Catholic domination..Those responsi- “ble tq¢this propaganda will naturally ‘seize upon the utterance of this Cath- lic y as confirmatory evidence of -all that has been charged;and in the| face of,such evidence those who de- -plore,any teridency to religious antag- onisms have their mouths closed. ‘Whenever ‘any organization,and es- y.a religious organization,‘at- te to vote its membership in sol- ‘id ‘mags on any question,our political the destruction of ‘bridges as a rsult 00|they may seek to prevent the restora- oa ‘ that the commission- ers county will seek to ‘recover damaged from Mr.George Stephens of Charlotte,on account of of the breaking of the dam at Kanu- ga Lake during the recent flood;and tion of the dam.Mr,Stephens says hewill,rebuild the dam and in this |he is backed bythe Hendersonville‘citizens who are interested in the pro- motion of the resort features of the town,The recent breaking of the dam at ‘Lake Toxaway and other dams at mountain resorts resulted in some damage.The,Landmark re- peats an opinion heretofore express- ed—that some authority ought to be these dams.The duty of inspection might be placed with the State High- way Commission.Too much is_in- volved to allow the dams to be con- structed withoyt some responsible su- pervision. It is said that.the railroad compa- nies believe they can beat the train- men in three days if a strike is put on;that the trainmen believe they can beat the railroads in two days, and that each side would just as soon fight as not.If that is the spirit,it would be a good idea to let them fight—for three days—each side to be put under bonds in advance that | if the fight isn’t ended,in favor of one side or the other,in the time limit,that a committee representing the public,which should be appointed in advance,would lay down conditions which both sides would accept with- out question.If nothing will do but a fight,the public can stand it for three days if that meansa final set- tlement.

THE COVER CROPS 'AGAIN, Crimson Clover the Best CropForOur.Farmers —How It _May Be Seeded and Its Value. Correspondence of The Landmark. In this mild climate,where the soil table matter never ceases to decay.and the plant food is becoming avail-able the year round for ‘the grevinoftheplant,it behooves the farmertoco-operate with ndture in making a lect by a heavy toll taken from the richést part of his farm by the con- tinued rains of the winter season. so the penalty for newliggnes is con- siderable,while the Teward.forthoughtfulco-operation at conserva:tion is equally great.”~~The conservation of the natural re-sources of our cultivated land may be largely affected by the growing of awintercovercropwhichwillpre- vent the washing away:of the soil ortheleachingoutoftheavailableplantfood.Besides the protection affordedthroughthewinterseason,this cropf|will,if properly turned under,supply some nitrogen for plant:growth dur- ing the summer months and also sup- ply humus that is so greatly needed to maintain a good physical condition of the soil and hold moisture for car- rying the crop ‘through the dry pe- riod of the summer season.a There are several,crops,that may be used for this purpose but the one crop which seems best suited to our conditions,supplies the greatest and most valuable growth,may be start-ed easiest and at the least cost and give the least bother,is crimsonclover.Being a legume it takes ni-trogen,one of the most costly fertil- izer ingredients,from the air,fixing it in the plant,which upon decay gives it up to its successor.It.may little cost for seed or preparation.and without detriment to the crop being grown for the’market;and upon be- ine turned under the following spring succeeding crop..A field which 10 years ago would produce no —more than 15 or 20 bushels of corn,has since been growing corn continuously in the summers and crimson clover in the winters,giving a_yield of .90bushelsin1914:All fields observed throughout the county this summer, where the legume has been grown the past winter,show a_decided advan- ,tage over those not having grown i that cover crop.Where the clover was removed instead of being turned under,the atlvanatge was less mark- ed,though apparent.In addition to|the above advantages crimson ctover \if sown in good time will provide ex- ;cellent grazing through the winter ‘and early spring,when feed is scarce land high.:; In New York State samples:taken November 2 of Crimson.Red and Mammoth clovers sown August showed the following number of pounds of nitrogen per acre:Crimson 156.94.Red 103.36,Mammoth,145.-96.With the present high price ofnitrogenthatwouldgivethemthe respective values of ahout $39,$26and$36 per acre without furtherrrowth.With an average growth offivetonsofgreenplantperacre.there should be some increase in the nitrogen content per acre and a large amount of humus besides.This hu- mus,with deep plowing,will go a great way toward preventing the washing away of the land during the summer season.‘ The sowing of Crimson clover is not such a difficult or expensive prac-tice as some think.It may be seeded among the corn,cotton,cowpeas or 3 in wheat or oat stubble,with but lit- tle preparation if the ground is free from weeds and grass.In fact,in :the seeding of most clovers the rac- tice is quite common to over-prepare seeded plant better one than in a good,clean corn ;ar cotton field.“Just sow the seed ‘and -cover it lightly and nature will do the rest toward protecting that \field from washing during the follow- ing winter. The.cost of the seed will depend \upon the ability of the farmer to plan and manage the affairs of his farm.

Maine Election Without Nation- al Significance. Portland,Me.,Dispatch. History would merely repeat itself if one party carried Maine in the Sep- tember election and the other carried it in November.This very thing oc- feurtred four years ago when Maine elected a Republican Governorin Sep- ember and returned a,plurality forWoodrowWilsoninNovember. A leading Democrat said recently that a Republican victory in the Sep-tember election need not be ‘regardedasanillomentothe.Democratic party.Maine is normally a Republi- can State and when it goes Republi-can it merely .follows its natural bent.Hence the moral effect through- out the country from a Republican victory here would be practically neg-ligible.Nor is Maine a pivotal,State candidates for President get their strength elsewhere..Maine,by turn- ing Republican in September,might merely once more set at naught the proverbial saying applied in _presi- dential years,“As Maine goes in Sep- ener so goes the nation in Novem- er.” But.a Democratic victory on Sep- tember 11,in the opinion of most of the Republicans,would be tantamount to the handwriting on the wall—it would have a disastrous effect on the Republican party throughout the country,especially in doubtful States. It is the common judgment among more felt beyond than within the State.i ReportsofConcessionat Canal End Investigated. ama that a 60-000-acre land conces- sion at the Atlantic end of the canal is being sought by a Spaniard named Fernandez.presumably for Japanese interests,has been ordered investi- gated by Secretary Lansing.Mr.Lan- sing refused to discuss the report,in detail but the action is considered significant.

Strike is.Probable. ‘The following telegram to The Landmark last nignt,throtigh |the courtesy of the Greensboro Daily News,gives the latest onthe railroad controversy now pending in Wash-ington: “September 4th—Labor Day—is the’day set for the railroad men.to strike in case their ‘demands:are not met.’The President will go beforeCongressTuesdayorWednesdaytoeskforlegislationdealingwith.thesituation.Senator Newlands is com-monly reported to have drafted a billbutits«provisions are not public.ItisthoughttoincreasetheInter- State Commerce Commission to nine members and to forbid any increaseof:pay until that body has investi- gated.Jt may also provide for in- crease of freight rates and it is said that’the Senate will fight that.” The railroad presidents have so far refused to accept ~the President’splanofsettlementahdastrikeap- pears to be almost certain unless Congress can do something. A special of Sunday to the Greens-boro News said:>“We dre ready.” This statement came both railroad exccutives ployes,as a national paralysis loomed up. Railroad managers contended they could keep sufficient trains running through “loyal”employes to prevent a@ milk and food famine. The employes said there mignt de a few non-unionists ready to contin- ue_at_work,but that the roads as awholewouldbetieduptighterthan@drum. In the railroad camp the grimmestfighterssaid:“Put white lead on the engines and lay everything off.”The more conservative saig:“We mustseethat.the babies have their milkandthenationitsfood.” Down the street the employes:said the guilt for ruin or starvation would lie upon the railroad kings. It developed today that while the yailroad presidents have been wrest-ling with the problem of meetingPresidentWilson’s proposal,the man-agers,somewhat sidetracked fromthatphaseofthesituation,have beenworkingoutplansforhandlinganactualstrikeifonecomes.They have reported the result of their effortsdaybydaytothepresidents.A com-prehensive plan is complete,they nowdeclare. Plans include details,of train oper-ations.Emergency Sthedules havebeenmade,and it is known that sincethebeginning-of the negotiationsembargoesonsomecommoditieshavebeenconsidered.One.railroad _offi-cial said that immediately upon dec-Jaration of a strike embargoes would be placed on war munitions and drygoodsandimperishablecommoditiesnot.regarded as necessities, The thought of the roads will be tocarry-foodstuffs.A reason for the ex- tensive strike plans one—executivesaid,is the roads’feeleng that all thebrotherhoodmembersarenotbehindastrikemovement.“Our fight is withtheleaders,”he said.“I know my men are loyal to me.I have worked with them and talked with them and I know they like me.But we must prepare against anything.” One great_railway system _has_pre- nared thousands of circular letters to be mailed:to employes within-an hour after a strike is declared.The tet- ters tell the road’s side of the case and ask supportinjits fight. today from and em- transportation ° Bills are being framed for presen- tation to Congress.The measure given the most serious consideration was one drawn along the lines of the Canadian act,which provides for in- vestigation of industrial disputes by a commission for one year and pre- vents strikes or lock-outs during theneriodofinvestigatfon.If it-is final- ly decided to -press such a measureaneffertwillbe.made to put it into effect at once.Other tefislation un- der consideration included the fol- lowing measures: An eight-hour day law for railroad employes. A bill increasing the membershipoftheInter-State Commerce Com- mission from seven to nine memberswithauthoritytodivideintogrouns. -A_resolution stating:it to he the sense of Congress that if the rail- roads grant an 8-hour day they should be entitled to increased revenues compensatory with the increased op- erating expenses.

Not the Junior Order. In its last issue The Landmark printed an item about the proposed re- organization of the “Order of United American Mechanics.”This is not the Junior Order of United American Mechanics,which has a large.mem. bership in this State and of which Mr C.B.Webb of Statesville is nationa’ councilor,It is 4in organization thatsecededfrom,the.Junior Order in.190€ on account.of differences-over the es- tablishment of a national orphans’ home and the maintenance of a na- tional organization.This organiza- tion has membership in New Jersey. Pennsylvania,New York and Virginia A dispatch from Atlantic City says at the meeting of the national council of the “Order of —United-American Mechanics”it was decided to change the name of the order from the United American Mechanics to -that of the United American Mer.“The word “mechanics,”it is said,gives outsiders the impression that the body is some sort of labor organization. Two New Cotton Mills at Marion At a meeting of the directors of the Clinchfield Manufacturing Com- pany at Marion it was decided to ‘build a new cotton mill at Marion,to be known as Clinchfield Mill No.2; costing $60,000.The site has al- ready been purchased,and work will begin on the plant immediately. Another new cotton mill for .the manufacture of cotton yarns is now in the process of construction at Ma- rion.The total authorized capital is $150,000 with $80,000 paid in.This concern will be known as the Cross Cotton Mills Company,headed:by Mr. Eugene Cross of Taylorsville. Wife Murder in Charlotte. In Charlotte yesterday morning at 7 o'clock Robt.A.Beattie,67 yearsold,shot and killed his wife,Mrs. Dixie Beattie.The deed’was evi- dently premeditated and _the-result of jealousy.Beattie sent for help for his wife after he shot her and then surrendered.to the police,says the Charlotte News. damage gt Mecklenburg county grand jury has returned a true bill against Dr. J.W.Summers,who is charged with murder as the result of an illegal oneration which resulted in the déath of a young woman.

The fredell Tést Farm will not be sold.At the recent meeting of the StateBoardofAgricultureinRaleighit was decided to curtail expenses by cutting off some of the work theboardhasbeendoing,and it was mentioned that the Blantyre .Farm in Transylvania.county would be sold. On the heels of this a news story was.sent out from Ralei that all the State test farms would-be sold,the Blantyre farm to go first and the others to be sold as opportunity of- fered. Mr.W.J.Sh ford,member of the Board of Agriculture for the (ninth district,tells The Landmark that the board has no purpose to sell all the farms;that the Iredell Test Farm, the Edgecombe Test Farm and:oth- ers where good results are_obtained, will be continued.The board has for some time,says Mr.Shuford,intena- ed to,dispose of the Transylvaniafarm.After the.Transylvania farm was bought a farm was purchased in Buncombe which has given better re- sults and the Transylvania farm willbesold.Some of the other farms may be sold if it is deemed advisable. But it is not the purpose to dispose of farms where good results are be- ing obtained and the Iredell Test Farm is one that will be continued. This will be good news to the farm- ers and the people of this section of the State generally.The Iredell Test Farm is a valuable asset and it has proved its worth in the workof the board.‘ Ejected Uncle Ped asDisturber. At Davidson county Republican convention at Lexington Saturday, ex-State'Senator Ped.C.Thomas got the floor and talked and talked.They tried to howl him down,then they tried to drown him out .with a brass’band.Failing with these miler means a policeman was called and“Ped”was led out as a disturber. Ped is remembered in this:.section. Years ago he was a ¢andidate~for Congress against...Hon.John —S. Henderson in the old seventh district and the bovs had a lot of fun*with him.Mr.Thomas certainly has “the sift o’?gab werry gallopin’”even if there isn’t much to his gab.At.the same convention oxigen master D.F.Conrad of Lexington. speaking from a_point of personal nrivilege,declared that those men in his party who had preferred certain charges against him in connection with the passage of the road bond issue were “liars,scoundrels and thieves.”:- “Aside from these incidents,”savs the report to the daily papers.the convention was _harmonious.J.-R.Me- Crary was nominated for the Legis« lature:Geo.McCarn for.sheriff,and F.E.Sigmon for register_of deeds. More Trouble in Smithtown. At Smithtown,the famous block= ade settlement in Stokes county,last week,Revenue Officer Ben Mayes of Stuart,Va.,was seriously shot in.an encounter with Will and JamésSmith,who were operating a_block-ade distillery.Both the Smiths were shot,Will rather seriously. It is understood that Mayes cameuponthemenwhiletheywereen- caged in making —brandy—and_—that they opened fire,.which he returned. He was so scriously shot in the body that he was taken toa hospital in Stuart.Va.Will Smith was —hadty injured and was caught,but JamesSmithmadehisescape. These Smiths are members of the same Smith family that engaged revenue officers in a regular pitched battle at the now famous Smithtown several years ago,in’which Officer Hendrix of Elkin was shot and oth- ers injured.The settlement has been cleaned out by revenue officers more than once and one cleaning was socompletethatitwassupposedtheSmithswereputoutofbusiness.

The Broad Street congregation has been making preparation for this meeting for some time and as a re- sult a rather interesting discussion of church publicity was precipitated at the church Sunday morning. Sunday a week ago the men’s Bible class appointed five committees to arrange the details for the meeting —committee on music,personal workers,ushers,cottage prayer meet- ings,publicity.It was the report of the last committee,made at the prayer meeting last Wednesday night, that started talk.The ‘committee recommended five forms of publicity, to-wit:Display advertising in The Landmark,window cards,hand-out invitation cards,to be distributed by personal workers;bill board adver- tising announcing subjects from day lo day,and slides at the moving pic- ture shows.It was further recom- mended that a committee of 25 be ap- pointed from.the congregation to car- ry out this publi¢ity campaign,espe- cial attention being given to handing out cards and personal solicitation.So much objection was offered to two features of the report—the news- paper advertising and moving picture}slides—that final decision.was defer-red ‘Until’Sunday morning.At’Sune day morning’s service the report ofthecommitteewassubmittedtothe congregation.Messrs.J.F.Ander- son and W.D.Turner spoke in oppo- sition to the newspaper advertising and moving picture slides.They thought these forms of advertising the mécting Objectionable.Prof.D. Matt.Thompson championed both andhewassoemphaticinemphasizingthebeliefthatthechildrenofthis world are sometimes wiser than the children of light.thatthe audience broke into applause,which.is some- thing new in a church meeting and those who applauded were doubtless astonished at themselves when they came to think about it.But anyway it showed that Prof.Thompson had the folks with him.The congregation voted-on-the committee’s report itembyitem.All were adopted unani- mously except the two to which ob- jection was offered and these were adopted,on a‘standing vote,by.about30to10.. It--is—understood--that—eight—mem- bers of the congregation voluntarily obligated,themselves to pay for the Mewspaper advertising,so that this will cost the congregation nothing; andthe picture shows will run.theslidesfree.

Democrats and Republicans in the Senate Make Charges and paign Expenditures. Washington Dispatch to New Yorky: Times. Accusations flew thick and fast in the Senate when Senator Owen of Oklahoma asked unanimous consent to take up the Corrupt Practices bill after the passage of the revenue bill. Senator Smoot of Utah,acting for the Republican steering committee, bjected.Senator Owen then,pro- ceeded to describe the Corrupt Prac- tices bill,and in doing so made state- ments that were resented by the Re-publicans..Mr,Owen said that he introducedthebillonthefirstdayofthesession,and it was now on the calendar as asubstituteforasimilarbillpassedbytheHouse.The bill limits the total amount to be expended’by national campaign committees to $400,000 and individual contributions to $5,000, prohibits the buying of votes by di- rect or indirect means,forbids all con- tributions by corporations.for politi- cal purposes,and imposes heavy penalties for violations of the law. The general purpose of the measure is to strengthen the present,..law,which is regarded as being very de-fective in its limitations on the use of money in elections.Senator Owen said that the Repub- lican Senators intended to filibuster to kill the bill,and asserted that at ‘the Democratic senatorial conference on July 15 the Corrupt Practices measure had been placed on the pro- gramme of legislation to be taken up and disposed of at this session.No change had been made in that action, he said,and when the Republican leaders had been asked to agree to the Democratic programme of legis- lation they had expressly objected to the Corrupt Practices bill. Senator Gallinger of New Hamp- Shire arose to correct this statement. He said that the bill was not on the list submitted to the Republican steering committee.Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania interrupted Senator Owen to ask if the Qklahoma Sena-tor’s anxiety to-pass the bill was duetoconditionsofcorruptioninOklaho-ma,which he had been told were the| worst in the country.In reply Mr.! spent $40,000 in his State to defeat! voted to unseat Senator Lorimer of Illinois. Senator Saulsbury of Delaware as-| serted that some years ago $50,000) was spent in Delaware the night be- fore election to influence voters. Without mentioning any name_the Delaware Senator said that the mon- ey was spent by a Republican candi- date for the Senate.Senator Penrose! million dollars was spent to elect ifent family.When that fellow up Asheville way killed his wife and comimitted suicide,pains were taken ‘to“emphasize the excellent family ‘connection—as if good family con- npetion was a virtue for a murderer #should entitle a worthless deadbeat t6,consideration.It should by rights egndemn such folks instead of being pataded in their behalf,as is usually the'case.; ++-ATMERNST THE MAINE ELECTION. ‘The news from Maine_indicates that the Democrats may carry that State-in the election September 11th, ahd The Landmark confesses that it] isn’t particularly “hope up”by the information.Of course if the Repub- lieéins carry Maine,which is normally &*Republican State,the fact will be used as evidence that a Republican vigtory is certain in November,and this might help to boost the Republi- éan campaign and discourage the Démocrats.On the other hand,if the‘Democrats carry Maine the victory Will be.proclaimed as forecasting be-yond doubt the defeat of the Repub- ‘¢Heans in November,and the Demo- éfats will be encouraged and the Re-publieans discouraged accordingly. “AS a matter of fact the result oftheMaineelection,as history shows, 18:not a forecast of the Novemberelection.Maine is not a pivotalStateandtheresultin.Maine doesn’telect’Presidents."Way back in thedim‘and distant past Maine turnedurlexpectedlyfromonepartytoan-other and the result of that electionattractedsomuchattentionthattothisdaytheMaineelectionisclothedwithimportancenotwarrantedbythefact.Old-timers recall that-as-a-re-sult of that election these lines be-tame famous: “Have you heard the news from Maine?.She's gone hell bentrGovernorKentAné@TippecanoeandTyler,too.”In 1880 a combination of theGreenbackparty(then in existence)‘and Democrats carried Maine,whichhadbeenahardandfastRepublicanState,in the September election.~The Democratsweregreatly rejoiced.They thought it meant the election ofGen.Hancock in November,which itdidn’t.Gen.Garfield was electedHandsdown..So late as 1912 Maine‘elected.a Republican Governor |inSeptemberandgaveWoodrowWil-‘eon a plurality in November.

As a matter of fact 90 per cent. of the people who commit murder are abnormal at the time.If they were normal —in their natural state — they would not commit the crime. Being abnormal does not mean that one is insane.All insane people are abnormal,but not all aynormal peo- ple are insane.Almost every individ- ual is abnormal at times—in a state different from his natural state—and when in that state he will do things he would not do if he was “at'him= self’—as we generally express it.If one is to be excused for the things he does when he is abnormal,it would be,almost impossible to hold one re- sponsible for any untoward act.Cer- tainly at least 90 per cent.of the people who commit homicide would be excused,for the normal man as a rule does not slay his fellow.Some folks are naturally so mean that their normal state is doing something vi- cious,and in this class is the 10 per cent.who would commit murder or almost any crime in their natural or normal state. While passing Horne because the .doctors said he was abnormal,the Governor refuses the application of Hardy Wiggins and:Merritt Miller of Graham county.These men were convicted on the dying statement of their victim,who said they shot him, —.
