This commendation of the views of Chief Justice Clark is in line with views long held by.The Landmark and 80 often expressed that there was fear that they would become tiresome.Only the earnest,sincere conviction.that great wrong is being done and that great and-lasting harm will result to all the people,has caus- ed this paper to print line upon line} about this subject and ‘to.risk being regarded as a chronic complainer®by constantly emphasizing the «danger which seems apparent to any one who will give thought to the alarming in- crease,in the number of homicides and other crimes in the State. The Landmark by no means finds itself in agreement-with.the -Chief Justice at all points.Failure to.ad- minister the law is not the sole cause »for lynching,but jit is an excuse— >and.a well founded excuse—and all of Us who stand for law and order are “hampered in condemning lynching hen the law's failuves~-are~pointed AS.the.Chief.Justice hecatise’and then “we can.with more force demand the pun- -ishment.of the’mob.Lynching,or mob law,had its origin in the disor- dered conditions in tais State follow- ing the War Between the States,and in,racial hatred.The negroes were at one stroke taken out of slavery and tmade freemen and equal-voters with whites,and in many instances they qwere_placed in authority over former. masters.Unfitted -for citizenship, their new condition caused excesses at times that were intolerante and the whites felt the most drastic remedy recessary.for —self-protection.Al- ways lawlessness breeds __disaster. hen men go outside the law for an a inittedly proper purpose,the exam- _ple leads to excesses,For years lynch-| ing was excused and defended for the =of@ unmentionable offence.Even that “was not excusable,for no black guilty ofthis.offence ever stood the ghost of show from -escaping through the courts.From using the unmentionable -¢rime-as—an-—-excuse,—the-work—of mobs was extended to other and lesser offences until,in some eommunities, mobs execute for all sorts of offences, some of them frivolous,and too often “sithply for offences charged,without ‘any certainty of the©guilt of their yictim.While mob law is not to be _extused in any event,its greatest ‘weakness’is in the fact that it is vis- :itet only on those who are almost-cer- i ‘to receive just punishment in the cour The influential,who escape the tie.and defy.it by.means of.the influence they can command,by _-wealth or otherwise,deserve mob _pun- ishment if that form of punishment is 40be exercised_at all..But the mob doesn’t go after that sort.Its victims 1 nearly always the weak and de- fenceless,about whose takingoff_no- Body is everlikely to’be called to ac- pont... =Just as good men—mien otherwise good citizens—sometimes in the heat of pe ssion-commit crime,just_so_good| en sdmetimes.join mobs.But usual- ly,in these latter days,the moving @piritsof-the-mobs-are-the thought= ess—who don’t realize’what they do; id those who are criminals in prac- ice or at heart.The latter class look m an event of that kind ag a’sort frolic.To them it.is hey would mob good citi s and sometimes,in communities e the number is large onough to ive courage,they become a menace to |people. er public officials,the preachers t the newspapers and all good cit- ms,cannot escape responsibility for -offences,until p and remove it. to apply the proper remedy. ommereemmnctmanannenettemTRNECEES hia at siete adminis-|, *terest; wlessness,whether it be lynching or they seek the Judge Clark result in opposition to his confirmation, |pointed out the defects and the sons why they are not remedied. ‘commend a careful study,of his ment to every reader of this pa! and having studied it,use what- influence there is at your com- Charlotte a runaway horse ranganautomobile,cut his throat on both”condemning the same thing— lynching.-While differing as to.the remedy,we are disposed to hope that the publicity-these two.eminent.gen- tlemen have given the matter:wa re- sult in good. One statement of the Governor,a8 The Landmark suggested would be the ase,is being generally cnallenged— the assertion:that the courts are blameless.That assertion was 'evi- dently made in haste and was more the assertion of the lawyer than of the Governor.The Greensboro News takes the ground that the Governor, being a lawyer,is not a competent witness in a case of this sort.It con- tinues: We mean just that...With due_re- gard.to the many honorable excep- tions,the rule rémains that.lawyerscannot.see.the defects and_their.ef- fects in-our judicial system.Had they been able to see them they “would have changed them long ago.From,the lawyer’s standpoint the system is well-nigh perfect right now;.but un-fortunately “lawyer”~and |“justice”are not synonymous,and a system good for one need not necessarily serve the other at all. The Hickory Record says: Gov.Craig was mistaken when:hesaidthatthecourtsarenottoblame. If equal and.certain justice had al- ways been meted out,pardons had not been worked over time,and justice so often cheated by technicalities,this country would have a better record in respect to mob violence and defiance of lawItis a fact that the lawyers,with a few exceptions,either cannot see or will not see,that our criminal proced- ere is defective;and.the-reason-they.|,cannot or will not-seeit is:that=they: are to much interested.Capt.Bill Day simply blurted out what most mem- bers of the profession would keep con- cealed,when he told Judge Schenck —as quoted by Judge Clark—that he had defeated a law designed to pre- vent sheriffs summoning venires that suited counsel for the defence,to pro- tect his clients.The great majority of the lawyers.view.with suspicion any change in the law designed to stop loop holes of escape for criminals. They cannot,or do not—speaking| generally—view it from a disinterest-| ed standpoint.They always look from Fi the viewpdint of.counsel for the de- fence.The lawyers are always -nu- merous in the Legislature and as a result:they prevent changes in the criminal statutes.As-Judge Clark says,there has been a demand for years for a change in the statute with reference to jury challenges in capital cases.Some lawyers favored this,as they do other changes that would,it is believed,tend to a—more efficient enforcement ofthe law,but.the most of-them-do-not,and-those opposing are usually strong enough to defeat ‘the.proposed changes.The Land- mark does not believe in raising class distinctions in filling public offices.| Lawyers are necessary in the Legis- lature,but obviously if the -people can’t get what they want they should be careful to elect men to the Legis- lature who will carry out their _wish-|' es.: Changing the law will not,as has been suggested,stop lynching all at lonce.Some-lynchings will occur-sim- ply because of the prevalent lawless spirit.-But-that-doesnot excuse the failure and inefficiency of the courts; nor does it_excuse the failure to _rem- édy—admitted—defects-—----- As Gov.Craig well said in-his Chart sible for their government because they can change it and make it:what jthey-want;-andit~all ‘comes back to the fact that the peopleare,to blame. But the leaders of the people are more to blame for to them the people intrust the work of carrying out their wishes “and desires.Too often the public servants of the people consider their own rather than the public in- view the situation from a narrow personal standpoint rather i|than from the broad standpoint of the greatest good to the greatest num- iber.Then the peopte,dissatisfiea, knowing something is wrong and feeling unable to find and apply:the remedy,strike out blindly. The President’s nomination of Louis Brandies of Boston for —Associate Justice of the Supreme Court was a big surprise.Mr.Brandies is one of \the very first lawyers in the ccuntry.

From this point Mr.Marin is to be commended for his answer to ,Mr. Dies,.the.Texas .Democrat.-who -eriti- cised~the President’s New York speech,and Mr.Mann shines’by:the contrast.Mr.Dies or any other Dem- erat has the right to-vote against the President’s plan and to give his reas- ons for doing so.But a sense of pro-' priety should prevent one of the President’s'own party from constant- ly and publicly nagging at him,‘and sometimes denouncing him with more fierceness than if he were a Repuhli- can.The Democrats did that to per- fection during Mr.Cleveland’s —last term and accomplished :nothing ex- cept.their’own discredit.If the Dem- ocrats are“to-succeed nationally there must be team work in Congress,.If. the conscience of_an-individual Demo-| the vicws.of the:majority it-is hi right and privilege to'dissent,but he]. necd not think he has a monopoly of’ virtue and that he only is right.

Getting Information About Eels. “Tye heard more about eels _this week than I ever heard before,”said Mr.R.B.McLaughlin Saturday,when he dropped into Thé Landmark office to look at some eel literature. Mr.Mclaughlin’s remarks about eels have brought to him a knowledge of the fact that right here in Iredell county are numerous folks who knew all-about the propagation of —eels. acts that the naturalists have been searching for for ages many Iredell citizens have known so well that they didn’t think it worth while to tell it.“But,”said Mr.McLaughlin,“all of them.differ about eel propagation in some important particular;and the folks who have secn shoals of min- now eels:never saw them but once.” And so the ex-Senator and lawyer is still groping in the shadows about the eels,notwithstanding all the cel- ology so cheerfully furnished him.

It is assumed that the safe was ifhlown between 1.30 and 2.30 o'clock “Saturday morning,as people who live 4 time.They:were ladies and were afraid to give the alarm.|It is also assumed that the horse.was.stolen by_.the same party who~blew the safe, while on.their way to Mr.Sartin’s store,as there was evidence that ahorse:had been hitched to a tree near the store.The horse was found about 4 o’clock Saturday morning on the Turhersburg road,in the edge of town,It is supposed.that the burglar or burglars rode into town after their work at Sartin’s store. Two foreigners were arrested in Statesville,suspected of the burglary, hut there was no evidence to connect them with it and they were turned loose.They are peddlers and hadbeeninMr.Sartin’s neighborhood the ‘morning before.When arrested here they denied they had been there butwhenitwasprovenonthemtheyad- mitted it andsaid thev deniedsit at, first for fear they would be arrested for peddling without license. Saturday -afternoon Mr.Sartin found all his papers—several thousand dollars’worth—and the cash drawer of the safe under an old warehouse, 200 to 800 yards from the store.The wind blew some checks from under the huilding and this-led to the discovery. As the papers were by far the most impoNant part of the safe’s contents, their révovery reduces the loss by the robberv to a small amount. Mr.Sartin thinks the robbers had a key that unlocked hisgstore.The front and back doors of the store were open Saturday morning and there was no evidence that an entry had been fore- ed .The safe door was wrecked,but otherwise the safe appears to be un- injured.In’addition to the explosion to force an entrance into the safe.the door had:been hammered with toolssecured.froma nearby blacksmithshop.Mr.Sartin doubts if the door was opened by the explosion.The in- dications are,he says,that a good deal of hammering was necessary and he thinks possibtythisWas done aftertheexplosionwassetoff..

Correspondence of The Landmark The most important social event of the week for the college girls was the Valentine party given Monday evening by the Phi-Mu and the Phi Kappa Lit- erary Societies.About one hundred people were present.The decorations were characteristic of St.Valentine, red hearts being uscd everywhere,and progressive hearts was the game played at the numerous tables placed in the parlors and corridors.The punch table resembled a huge valen- tine,being covered with hearts of ev= ery size.Other refreshments _be- sides the punch were served later in the evening,and after the games were over the guests were entertain- ed with instrumental music and songs until the hour for leaving.The young ladies have entertained several times during the year.but.no-oceasion has been more enjoyed than the Valentine party.Miss Hallie Covi ty and Miss Bessie Hudson, the students,attended the Volunteer Convention which was , ngton of the facul- one oO in week.Miss Eloise Foster, pal,was called to Timmonsville,5. on Thursday to a her sister-in-law,-Mrs,.Carl Foster. turn on Saturday to resume he ies..eawennhequnenentininininitminernmenamnt How's THIS?+Re- by his firm.Walding,Wholesale Drugs“Hall's.Catarrh Curé ty,acting directly upon the b aiucous surfaces’ofthe system, niaia sent free.Price.Sold by all Trugeists. ats,Toledo,0. oO it PumpingSupplies.’Phone 65. bo6 oh Take Hall's Family Pills for constipation, ’ card ©playing?in the .,je papers in regard to Dr.York’s There may be a lot of truth in what)jolitical record.None of the state- Student session at Greensboro during the past the lady princi-] G.,|movie can dispense with this sort of | ttend the funcral of taken internal.n ndloadTest}rno..|.be,per fina ed.-Later,-if-I-correctly—recall,_we drove to town and brought father home from his enforced absence.That these men did justly in their verdict is almost as sure as anything human can be.I am so much indebted to The Land-mark for news from “’way back home”that I thought I’d join my fa- ther’s.old friend,Capt.T.M.C.Da- vidson,in this bit of reminiscentwriting.J.M.BARKLEY.

In 1876 he was a candidate for the State Senate and was elected in the district,carrying Wilkes county by asmallmajority.In 1878-he-was-the candidate of the Democratic party from Wilkes county for the House and was elected by over 500 majority, his colleague in the-House being Dr. L.Harrill.In 1880 he was elected to the State’Senate,again carrying Wilkes county by a small majority. His political contests for 1882,1884 and 1886 have been correctly stated.While Dr.York rode a mule in his contest for Congress in 1882.it was not “Gineral Jackson,”for this was in the election of 1896,when he was a Bryan elector,having been nominated in.the Democratic congressional con- vention and was one of tthe Demo- Crisco Per Can...

"Our lady correspondent brings thé’ issue downto what constitutes gom- bling.‘We lake it that all are agreed that-it docs net take a game of cards to.constitute gambling.To bet on any game of chance,or to play a game of| ehance for a wager,whether the game be dominoes,checks!or marbles,is or-dinarily eonsidered gambling.The reason cards are usually mentioned in connection with gambling is that they are so often the instrument —in gambling that many people erroneous- Jy consider all card games ‘gambling. A game with cards can be as_inno- cent as any other game if a stake is not the issue;and any qather game can be.gambling if the ‘stake is the issue. One authority ‘says gambling is “toplayagame,-’especlally a game of!“chance,for stakes;to TISK Money or other possessions on an event,chance or eontingeney.”Another authority seys “games of chance include all games in which chance is thedsole or a considerable factor in >determining the outcome,as in dice and most card games...Most ¢uimbling games are of | *this description!Gar i clude those in which I]are the sole er ‘chief factor,as in chess,whist, draughts or billiards.”It is proper Lo say,however,that under our law bet- of skill in- ting on these games is usually héld to” constitute gambling.The authority auoted recognizes this fact,for it de-“oe.g.5 fines gambling 2s playing a “game , for money or other ‘stake,as-cards, dice,billiards,horse-racing,cock- fighting,etc.”_If the players in ‘the society games play for a prize,if they have that in view and the prize,10°matter what,| is a part of the proceeding,then they would seem to be-guilty of gambling, “under the definitions given.Whether} .they are morally guilty of gambling®pends in”some measure,we would say,on the zest the prize gives to the ozeasion.If that is the chief object ‘in view,if it arouses the zest for the pley,then the reader-can-apply_the| meaning.It is a matter of history, The Landmark is informed,that on one oceasion in Statesville a hostess, decided to cut out the prizes,and when this was announced at the be-' ginning of the games some of the muests openly manifested their dissat-| isfaction and refused to play.Evident- ly the stake counted much with {hese players.,| @ur correspondent says all these fames are games of chance,where the clement of skill enters scarcely at all.Then we submit.without preju- Give,in the light of “reason and log- ic,”that where the players play for prizes—knowing that prizes are to be |, given and play to win them—thoey are, under the definitions given,guilty of gambling,whether the prize is silk hose or a carnation,The intent maybe‘absent in most cases but the cle- -ment of @ambling is there,and no emount of explanation can mt i otherwise.In-.some casesprizesareofferedandthemjssnirited,And in therg,epn be no questionof the gam- bling.©But the main atort ©the whole Business is the effect-of the ex-ample and what the practice leads to. Many people can play games and re-, ‘eeive prizes and never be real gam-, —hitys at heart,or any the .worse for| the playing.Others become so enam- they not only. waste valuable time,which is a serious matter,but they become so obsessed towin prizes that they are morally gamblers and often become real gamblers by playing for money.In some of the innocent (2?)society games the players become so enthus-; ed ‘that there are charges of cheating|which lead to ill-feeling and feuds;, trouble and it is unquestionably true that in:tracted to the assertion by Dr.Victor (G.Heiser.some places—right here in North Carolina.if happily not in States-! ville—the socicty games gradually, become gambling games,with money) as the stake.players are responsible for any of A its,is a matter for their cecnsciences,not for The Landmark. :It is neediess to say that The Land- mark ts with its correspondent in the, matter of the doublo standard of mor- als,Its readers have read this paper to little purpose if they do not know that.But we are talking about what is,not what ought to -be--and the double standard is.It is universally recognized.No excuse can be offered for men gambling simply because they are men.The men know that;hence they gamble They oknow the vractice is wrong and they do not undertake to defend ft by calling their winnings prizes.But the worst of it is that games for prizes have become so popular in society,men un- dertake:to cxeuse their gambling by saying their games are morally no worse than those played by the wo- men,The Landmerk doesn’t say that, mind you;but ii is ar al and ready excuse for men who gamble.More se- rious still:The bov who secs prizes given for games p!yyed in the home may not be co shockcd when he runs up against a poker game in a back room where the prize is a “pot”of money..In his ignorance and inexpe- rienee he may not sce any great dif-ference. The Landmark is not trying to reg- ulate:either the conduct or the eon-sciences of the socicty folks.Iv \is satisfied that:probably all the ladies who play games for prizes in States- ville are innocent of any intent to do -wrong.It had no purpose to discuss this.phase of the matter,until our correspondent made that the issue.

The Machinery Operating Against Tuberculosis andWhatitHasAccomplished. Bulletin State Board of Health. Ten years show a marvelous growth in that form of machinery that has for its purpose the destruction of the of the Great White Plague.‘The lat- est figures issued show that where.ten vears ago there was almost a barren field now there are in this country! 575 hospitals and sanitoria for the treatment of tuberculosis,450 special dispensaries,1.000 dispensary...physi- cians,4,000 nurses,400 open air ‘schools and 1.200 local anti-tuberculo- sis organizations.The total cost of ereating and operating this machin- lery,according to the American Med-|; ical Journal,represents an outlay of , jover $100,000,000 of public and pri-'¢ vate funds. The results achieved so far the workings of this machinery may { be seen,first,in the fall of the tuber-| culosis death rate,which was more jthan 25 per cent.in the past ten years. From 1904 to 1914,the death rate from all forms of tuberculosis fell from 200.7 to 146.8 per 100,000 pop- ulation.Other achievements are the isteadily growing enlightenment of ;the people on the subject of tubercu- |losis,its cause,prevention and treat- ment,and the higher health standards emphasized as essential factors in leradicating the disease. |What appear to be the main points ‘of attack for the future,as pointed out iby Surgeon F.C.Smith of the Feder- al Health Service,are the sourcesof 3, “gross”infection,particularly where there are children,the delay in diag- jnosing the disease,and the want of ,those conditions conducive to better ‘living and to better health.

The young man or woman now who does not play cards can scarccly find a place in society;and young men are sometimes forced to play orsit,idlyby,which would be the right thing to do,but not an enviable position to be placed in.»There are young men right here in Statesville learning to -play cards in our homes who will some day play in the gambling dens. Ladies,do you realize that you are ‘helping train men to-zamble when von indulge in your social game of cards? Young people need all the help and encouragement to live moral,upright ,lives that we can give them.Shall we help or hinder them? It has been said a nation can be lifted no higher than the level of its women.The same might be said of society.If society is ever to be whatitshouldbe,the women must make it so.In conclusion I would say,if you play cards at—all-you cannot consist- ently warn others against playing formoney.

To widely circulated suggestions that the situation had reached a point where the President would lay it be- fore’Congress,that Secretary Lan- sing might in some way define the at- titude of the government’in a commu- niaction to Senator Stone and that a time had been iixed within which the United States would expect Germany to signify her intention to abandon the announced intention to sink armed merchants ships without warning,theuniformstatementwasmadeofficially that nothing had been determined up- on,and that the situation,though grave,still was a waiting-one,.that no final position -would be.announceduntilBerlinwasheardfrom. The sudden.developments at the capitol brought surprise and appre- hension to the administration leaders. While confronted with the possibility of congressional interference with all its grave aspects,ranging from a de- fection from the administration poli- cy to downright embarrassment of the President and the Secretary of State, the leaders were confident they would control the situation and leave the Ex- utive branch of the government freetocarryondiplomatic._negotiations with Germany.ees At no time did the question come out openly on the floor of either the House or the Senate,but about a scoreofCongressménwhoannouncedthey were jin favor of warning Americans, evenif it involved a repudiation of the administration policy,if thereby they thought war would be averted,kept both houseg in a state of tension that practically blocked bhusines..Allthe demonstration -was inthe Democratic ranks and there was no open show of sentiment among the Republicans.It was indicated,how- ever,that:Republican Leader MannsympathizedwithPresidentWilson’s nolicy and that any outbreak would have to reckon with his forces. German Offensive at Verdun. A dispatch from London says the most ambitious offensive since the French advance in Champagne is now in progress to the north and north- east of Verdun,and has so far result- ed in German gains of nearly two miles at various points along a 25- mile front.Seven army corps (280,- 000 men)are assailing the French po- sitions,the attack having been —pre-ceded by a bombardment of guns of teavy caliber.The French admit the loss of several positions,but assert that their counter-attacks have chcck-ed the enemy’s advance at other noints,and that they have inflicted heavy losses upon their assailants. Reports from Berlin say that 3,000 French prisoners were taken.

The earthquake shock felt in States- ville Monday evening was generalthroughoutGeorgia,North and South Carolina,Virginia and portions of eastern Tennessee and Alabama. In’no case was any damage reported and while in some instances persons hurriedly left buildings,there was no-thing in the nature of a panic.The only seismograph known to be in the section affected by the tremor is at Mobile,Ala..where the instrument re- corded brief shocks.Most reports agreed that the tremor passed from east to west and was felt.only mo- mentarily.In Augusta,Ga.,and sev-eral other places,howeveré three dis?tinct.shocks were reported.At otherpointsonlyontremor’was,felt. The-shock was distinct enough inStatesvilletoremindolderresidentsofthefamouscéarthquakeof1886,which shook up this part of the coun- try and did so much damage_in Charleston,S.C.,although the one of Monday was “not s0 severe as.the quake of 1886.

A prominent citizen of north Tre- dell,writing to.The Landmark,says: “We readers of The Landmark would be glad to see’some more of Mr. Kirk’s sermons...like the one you printed.Such preaching as that,in my-opinion,is what we need at the present time.”Mr.Kirk and the other preachers will take notice that there is approbation for sermons of that character,because the need —is realized.The Landmark would be glad to print occasionally,as often as space permits,extracts from,or a summary of,sermons on popular sub-jects by any of the ministers.

A mule was being worked to the city garbage wagor Wednesday and he was left standing on north Center street,just north of the square,in charge of one of these portable hitch- ing posts,When the mule tilted his head upwards and the weight began to dangle around his legs,he followed his first impulse—tried to go through the wall of the Polk Gray Drug Co.and take the wagon with him.He was stopped by bystanders before any damage resulted ; by Was Interested in Ney Story.

The Southern Baptists,had an increase of 116:000 and more and the Southern Methodists.of 66,000;adding the Southern Preshyterians the net in- crease of these three bodies was more than 204,000,or well on to a third of the-ageregate gains for the vear.The returns for the Disciples of Christ for 1915 are not yet ready.They would probably add materially to the in- crease of the year. A remarkable feature of Dr. roll’s statistics,which will*be _pub- lished in the Federal Council Year, Book,is that there has-been a net de-- crease instead of the normal increase of churches.The actual loss is not large,only 158,but in 1914 there was a gain of over 1.800.The Lutherans quite unaccountably appear to have lost nearly a thousand churches:dur- ing the year,partly due,perhaps,to defective statistics.Even in the South.which had so large an ingather- ine of-members,there was little *in- in churches.The Southern Rantist.Convention reports losses as ahout offsetiingreains:the Methodist Church.South,had a net increase of 9%and the Southern Presbyterians of The Northern Methodists 168.Several of the *Presbyte- Ladies which enjoyed an unusual communicants,show aeMineofinthenumberofchurches.

The inerease for the quarter century since 1890 is very large.Denomina- tional groups of 100,000 communi- cants and upwards,embracing all but about 2,100,000,have nearly doubled their numbers.Having 19,828,000 in1890theynowhave37,255,000,indi-' cating a net gain for the twenty-five vears of nearly 18,060,000,or more than 98 per cent.:| QObserv-' erand aand main gains in Washington Birthday ance in Washington. ‘Reading of the farewell address of| President Washington to the Congress| of the United States was the feature of three programmes in Washington! Tuesday,the anniversary of George Washington’s birth.The most ouspi- cious occasion was at Continental Me- “moral Hah where President Witson,* Secretary of the Navy Daniels,Am- bassador Jusserand and other notables attended a demonstration arranged by tthe Associated Patriotic Societies of the Canital:while in keeping with a very old custom,the famous document was read in the Senate and the House of Representatives,both of which sus- nended business for the occasion. Senator JohnSon of Maine and Repre- sentative Raker,of California were chosen to read the memorable paper with its poignant phrases warning peainst “insidious wiles ef foreign in- fluence.”“mischiefs of “foreign in- trigues”and “the impostures of pre- tended patriotism.”The farewell ad- eress has been read in Congress ey- ery year for generations,but probably never before were Washington’s words so closely applied to present- day conditions. ’ ReSRDURASEATER American Shipvards Crowded With Work. Reports to the bureau of navigation show that many American shipyards, crowded with work as never before in their history,are refusing all tracts,calling for new types ef ves sels and continuing construetion to those.of types for which construction nlans already have been drawn.With 230 merchant vessels,having total tonnare of about one million,building or about to be started.the United States now is being outstripped in construction only by Great Wh ard navigation bureau officials in the boom a prospect that the country may recover the position it~held a: the foremost nation in shipbuilding.

V,W.McGhee of Buncombe coun- ty,student at the University,has compiled and published in the Uni- versity News Letter some facts about the school taxes in this State.The fig- ures are based onthe 1914 report.ofourStateTaxCommission,the 1913- 14 report of the State Superintend- ent of Public Instruction,and ‘the1914reportof=the=United ~StatesCommissionerofEducation,The coun- ties are ranked according to the rateoflocalschooltaxespaidby’each county;that is,the taxes known as special taxes voted by various dis- tricts for schools,plus the 20-cent school tax uniformly levied and_lo- cally.used in all the counties of the State. fr.McGhee finds that in 1918,the total amount of public school funds; raised by local taxation was $3,595,- 743,and our rank in this particular was 25th.Ninety-one cents of every dollar spent for public schools in the State was raised by local taxation;and in this particular we ranked fifth. That is to say,in willingness to bear local tax burdens for schools we stand ahead of every State in the Un-ion except Florida,Rhode —Island,} Kansas and Massachusetts.Other appropriations.by the Legislatures. North Carolina derives only 9~per cent.of her’common school money in this way.but Georgia-derives 65 per cent.of her.school fund from this source and Alabama 74 per cent.

Judge Daniels cleared the at atmos-|@ phere by declaring a mistrial. Stupendous Sums For War Pur- poses.

At the New York and Chicago Automobile Shows—the two great national automobile events of the year—the $615 Overland was the most widely discussed model exhibited. And why not?An electrically started and electrically lighted completely equipped Overland with four-inch tires for only $615! Is there any wonder this car took the whole country by storm? Season after season for seven years we have experienced one great success after another. But this one tops them all. No other achievement in the history of the entire industry parallels this record. It stands out alone—boldly—conspicuously—unapproached. Never before has an automobile success been so rapid,so definite and so sweeping. The $615 Overland has made history.It marks the entranceofanewautomobilevalue—a car complete in everysenseofthetermatapricewhichwashitherto thought impossible. Yet here it _is—a_powerful five-passenger touring car com- plete for only $615. Note that word ‘‘complete.”’ This means electric starter and electric lights,electric horn, magnetic speedometer—in fact,every necessary item. Nothing is lacking.There are no ‘‘extras’’to buy. Note that the motor is the very latest en bloc design— the last word in fine engineering., In addition note that the tires are four-inch size.This is another big advantage.Many cars costing more have smaller.tires. Note that the rear springs are the famous cantilever ~type.Another advantage.Cantilever springs mean the utmost in riding comfort. Note the headlight dimmers—the electric control buttons on steering colunin—-demountable rims and one-man top.These are ali bid advantages. This newest Overland is light in weight,easy to handle and very economical to operate. It’s just the car the world has been waiting for. It is large enough for the whole family—moderately priced,vithin the reach of the majority-—-economical to maintain—built of the best quality materials—snappy,stylish and speedy—and complete in every sense. In short,it is just another striking example of how our larger production enables us to build a bigger and better car and still keep the price within reason. You'll want one,so order it now. Don’t wait,debate or argue with yourself.See that your order is placed immediately. Then in a few days you and your whole family will be driving your own car. Remember it comes complete—only $615! —CAROLINA MOTOR C0,Statesville,Mooresville and Newton. 2 The Willys-Overland Company,Toledo,Ohio “Made in U.S.A.” "mar Pernt=|(ie 3 sitften atau bonnaeTacToat tireregeN are in N ;aprmoctpiteenappey rites Some pete f ie he eaae Ee A ¢ } NA VS S| // SV a AA ae eT |GOODSATISP ACTION Preserve the leatherwae make your shoes lestlons r.poliehes contain no acid and wilttnot crack sae oecombineliquidandpasteinapasteform,and withvproduceabrilliant,lasting shine.
