Up to yesterday the Mexican gov- ernment had made no formal replyto.the recent note of Secretary ofStateLansing,demanding that thecan...government state its attt-“reference to the AmericantroopsinMexico.3 The foreign office at.Mexico City-Friday--issued"a--memorandum—inwhich‘the correctness of assertions inthecommunicationfromWashingtonwererepeatedlydeniedanditwasde-clared that the United States had norighttomaintainitsarmedforcesonMexicansoil,The .memorandum contains,385counts.Although not in the form ofwdirectreplytotheWashingtonnote it is considered equivalent to an an- swer to that document,It expresses, surprise that the Washington govern-ment.should’have been pained at thetoneandthecontentsortneCarran- za document,since it maintains tha:the hay States has sent td the con- .stitutional government not only one, but many,discourteous and even over- bearing notes. Emphatically reiterating the Mexi-| ean government’s position:denying,the right of the United States to!keep armed bodies in Mexico,the,memorandum denies _energetically,that the Mexican government has,protected bandits who had committeddepredationsintheUnitedStatesanddefiesWashingtontoproduceproofoftheassertion.:Blame for the Santa Ysabel mas-sacre is placed on the’so-called impul-!sive and irascible disposition of Charles Watson,general manager -of the Cusihuiriachi Company;and Gen- eral Scott and General Funston are accused of bad faith and lack of hon- or in misleading General Obregon in| an_alleged evasive reply regarding; the crossing of American troops into Mexico-after the Glenn Springs raid.| The)memorandum asserts thatwhileitistruethattheUnitedStates arrested Genéral Huerta,the motivewhichpromptedthisactwasnota purpose of aiding the constitutional-, ist government,but because the Unit-ed States feared that General Huerta:was plotting with Germany.The note concludes by declaring that the pres- ence of American troops in Mexico invites ‘rather:than prevents bandit raids along the border.The memorandum was issued at the~“pamfeéfime that hte foreign office au-thorized publication of Secretary Lan-sing’s recent note. There have been no clashes in Mexi- co since the Carrizal trouble.Minorincidentshaveoccurredalongthe border.American cavalrymen patrol- ing the border were fired on from the Mexican side.Nobody hurt.Mexi- cans claim that one of their patrol- men was killed by shots flréd by Almericans from this side the river. Captain Leroy Eltinge,with twotroopsoftheEighthcavalry,Sunday searched the country on the Mexicansideoftheriver,opposite Fort Han-cock,Texas,for bandits who Saturday’ fled back into Mexico,‘after raiding | the:American side and stealing some cattle.

For the fiscal year ending June 390,1916,Collector Watts collected $13,- 015,068.80,as follows:jTobacco$12,507,368.84Incometaxes,331,213.89 Emergency taxes 164,179.89 Fines,penalties,etc.7,322.45Liquorlicense2,904.28 Narcotic taxes 1,921.45 Oleomargarine license .163.00 This is an increase over tast year of $4,840,446.13,or 59 per cent.The increases are: Tobacco Income taxes Emergency taxes Fines,penalties,etc....4,964.99 Liauor license:ee 174.77 Narcotic taxes’decreased $94.68 and oleomargarine license $101.00. This tremendous increase is due to the greatly expanding tobacco indus- try of the district and to the won- derful prosperity of our industries and individuals,as shown in their in- come tax returns and their purchases of stamps.This is by far the larg- est tobacco district in the United States,and all (probably more)of the increase in revenue from tobacco of this year over last in the entire coun- trv is from this district. Temperance people need not be alarmed over the’slight increase in liquor license.This results from mak- ing more of the drug stores pay the tax on medical preparations contain- ing aleghol and catching more “blind tigers”than ever before.The in- crease.in.fines and penalties,ete.,is accounted for by teason of the—in- creased finescofleghed from retailers and moonshiners:in the’Federal courts.‘ The collections in this district for $4,682,734.0298,823.8153,944.26 the fiscal years from 1908,--the last vear of unrestricted liquor manutfac- turing in the district,to the present were as follows: 1908 $ 1904 ™ 1905 1906. 1907 1908 1909 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 1916 1916 2,212,918.04 2,410,405.02 2,445,813.12 2,634,403.23 2,729,124.57 8,264,452.58 3.496.944.64 4,628,738.74 5,259,129.15 6,500,797.70 8,174,622.67 Want Major Flanigan For Lieu- tenant-Colonel. Camp Glenn ~CorrespondencelotteObserver,June 30;° A letter was sent to Gov.Craig to- Char- _|daysigned by every officer in the reg- iment,bothstaff and line,askingthe Governor to commission Major Flan- igan,first battalion,lieutenant colo- nel of the regiment in place of Lieu- tenant Colonel Bessant,who is ask- ing to be put on the reserve on ac- count of not being able to pass the medical board..The questoin arises whether or not the appointing,however,will rest with the Governor exclusively,since the passing of the Hay drafting reso- lution,which confers upon the Pres- ident the power to fill out incomplete vnits and to appoint commanding of- ficers thereof.There are those who think that the President may appoint a regular United States army officer, but the regiment is hot-foot after the appointment of Major Flanigan,who, hesides being a veteran 1898 with the First Regiment,also has both the ednfidence and affection of every man in it.

When the formalities of the trans- fer had been ended and the Americans marched.off the international bridge to El Paso,they were greeted by cheers from the thousands on.this side of the Rio Grande.The authori- ties made every effort to discourage a demonstration on the part of on- lookers,many of whom had waited i from Sunrise until 3 o’clock_in.the.af- }ternoon to welcome:the returning |troopers,The same day Capt.Morey arrived at El Paso for treatment for ‘the wounds he received ‘at:Carrizal. ce poaenccason tees? a ac Ahumada,when they were puton the train.’They were confined esindivid: ual cells in the Chihuahua’penit re ary,Spillsbury said,but throughoutthedaystheywereallowedtheliber-ty of a small patio.iOneNorthCaro:company of reusing troopers-—Wil-liam Hogue of Raleifh.aneStoriesof‘Negro Troopers,—”It was in the immigration stationthatthenegrotrooperstoldtheirsto-ries of the Carrizal fight and theirexperiencesatVillaAhumadaand Chihuahua City.Gibson,Jones and Alexander,the latter two beingslightlywoundedinthearm,were emphatic in their statements that.theMexicansshotthe’wounded Ameri-cants or the field at Carrizal,“Those who could speak a©little English bragged about shooting our boys while we were goifg through Villa Ahumada,”Jones said.“Sev- eral boys lying just beyond me at Carrizal were not fatally wounded butwhenIwentpastthemlaterthey were dead with several bullet woundsintheirbodies.”"“They stole my $400,my*half-ca- rat diamond ring and my IT-jewel watch,”Gibson said,‘“‘and when we passed through Villa Ahumada and Chihuahua City the people threw |.The prisoners left Chihuahua City ‘in the night on a special train,They| arrived at Juarez,Mexico,about noon.||As the negro soldiers left the train on||the Mexican side derisive whistling’ |rose from the crowd.The faces of +most }and they presented an odd _appear-| 'ance.Their uniforms had been taken!‘from them at Villa Ahumada.;wore a |bought from prisoners in the Chihua-| hua prison, |as.Shirts were missing in many in-| stances.Two of the men wore blank-| lets in lieu of trousers.|towel around his waist.Sandals andj {shoes,not of army pattern,were on|their feet.One of them managed to {smile and say:“We are sure glad to; |Bet back.” Interpreter Spillsbury,the writing :the Taylors-white man,had on a white yachting fe cap and white trousers many sizes} too large.

The new munitions tax imposes a schedule of from one to five per cent., on the gross annual receipts of manu- facturers of.war munitions.\ It is understood to be the purpose} to introduce a.separate measure to provide for the Mexican trouble,and} a bond issue is being considered for that purpose.

Farm Extension News. “One of the greatest handicaps which the average farmer has to overcome in growing legumes is the high price of seed,”says Mr.(.B. Williams,chief of the Division of Agronomy.‘As soon as we learn that it is important to save.such seed as red clover,crimson clover, vetch,ete,,then it will be that the acreage devoted to these crops will be greatiy increased”When the price of the seed in-the fall is compared to the cost of savine them,one tonished that more are ‘not from each year’s crop. “In a careful experiment made on the Station farm it was found that enough crimson clover seed to plant an acre could be saved at the cost of about 20 cents.This was reckoning at the ordinary prices paid for labor and team.When this cost of 20 cents is compared to the high prevailing prices of crimson clover,which runs from $1.50 to $2 for enough seed to plant an acre,the wisdom of saving in the spring may be easily seen,”ee Government Closed Year With Balance. The government closed its —fiscal year June 30 with total receipts of $838,403,969 and total disbursements of #759,666,159,an’excess of &78,-737,810,compared with a deficit of $59,486,580 for the.year ending June 30,last.Both the income tax and in- ternal revenue receipts in 1916 show ed up far ahove the estimates made by Secretary McAdoo and swelled the balance.Income tax receipts amount- ed to $124,867,430;eempared with $79,828,675 last year,an increase of about.$15,000,000 over the amount ex-rected,by officials even as late as abradspey.Jor atotal $56,909,94 as is as- saved n corporations and $67,957(488 from dindividuals,, ‘THE REVENUE.|FOR lstaff of the State Board af Health tax?¢ordance with the adopted:sanitany |ruleslofeach offer,whether accepted or #8- ‘in the Health Bulletin.Furthermore, will receive a pamphlet that is now Stete Farmers’ omen Creeping Things ThatlcAfterRainstorms.

Early resumption.,of friendly dip- lomatic conversations with the de fac- to government of Mexico to the end that:peace’and:order -may~be-restored'in northern Mexico and.along the bor-der,is expected to be the result of theCarranzanote,according to Washing-ton dispatches.The note from the Carranza gov-ernment,received Tuesday and made public Wednesday,is addressed toSecretaryofStateLansingandsign-ed by Gen.Aguilar,foreign ministeroftheCarranzagovernment.It fol-lows;The Carranza“Mr.Seeretary:’“Referring to the notes of June 20and25last,I-have the honor to saytoYourExcellencythat*the immedi-ate release of the Carrizal prisoners was a further proof of the sincerityofthedesiresofthisgovernmenttoreachapacificandsatisfactoryar- rangement of present difficulties.This government is anxious to-solvethepresentconflictanditwouldbeunjustifitsattitudeweremisinter- Reply. /preted :“It was also the Mexican govern- ment that earnestly suggested a planforcantonmentsalongtheboundarylineduringthe.conferences of CiudadJuarezandElPaso.This governmentisdisposednow,as it has always been, to.seek an immediate solution of thetwopointswhich®constitute the true causes of the conflict between the two countries,to-wit:The American gov- ernment believes reasonably that the insecurity of its frontier is a source of difficulty and the Mexican govern- ment.on its part believes that the stay of American troops oh Mexican terri- tory,aside from being a trespass on the sovereignty of Mexico,is the im- mediate cause of the conflicts.There- fore,the withdrawal of American troops,on one hand,and the protec- tion of the frontier,on the other,are the two essential problems,the solu- tion of which must be the directing abject of the efforts:of both govern- ments.: “The Mexican government is will- ing to consider,in a quick and practi- cal way and prompted by a spirit ofconcord,the remedies which should be applied to the present situation.“Several Latin -American coun- tries have offered their friendly medi- ation to the Mexican government andthelatterhaveaccepteditinprinci- ple.Therefore,the Mexican govern- ment only awaits information that the government of the United States would be disposed to accept this medi-ation for the purpose mentionedabove,or whether it is still of the be- lief that the same results may be at- tained by means of direct negotia- tions between both governments.‘In the meantime this government proposes to employ all efforts that may be at its disposal to avoid the recurrence of new incidents whichmaycomplicateandaggravatethesituation.At the same time it hopes that the American government on its part may make use of all efforts to prevent also new acts of its military and..civil authorities of ‘the frontier that might cause new complications. “T avail myself of this opportuniytoreiterateto “assurance of my.most distinguished ¥ -ranza's proposal that differences consideration.* “(Signed)C.AGUILAR.” Opens Way For Peace..While no formal statement wasmadebygovernmentofficials,the opinion is.expressed in.WashingtonthatthenoteopensthewayforapeacefulsettlementoftheMexican affair,Meantime;however,there was no.change in the movement.oftroopstotheborder,:: It will be noticed that the Carran- 28 note makes no reference to thehithertooft-expressed purpose to at-| they!tack American troops when move in any direction except toward the border.which order was respon-sible for the Carfizal affair.In this respect it does not meet the demand of the American government.The tone of the note is so peaceful,however, that it relieves the present tensionandopensthewayforpeacefulsettle- ment.Whether that end can be at- —tained-of course only time will show.That.President Wilson will give Carranza every opportunity to showhis-good--faith:-may be assured,—In the meantime,however,it is not prob- able that there will be any lessening in preparation for anything that may happen;and if Carranza’s actions do not accord with his talk,as they have not in the vast.the advantage will be with us.The President has indicated a perfect willingness to gradually__withdraw_American forces from Mex- ico whenever the Carranza govern- ment actually demonstrates its capac-ity to control affairs.Until Carranza_»makes rood in that respect it is safe to say there will be no change in the military situation;and that he canmakegoodisamatterforseriousdoubt.

OBJECTS TO PORK BARREL. :°Gongressman Small of North Car- olina,who lives in a section much in- terested in river and harbor improve? ment,objects to the river and harbor appropriation bill being called a “pork barrel’;he especially objects to North Carolina papers calling it that.’The term means that much of the appropriation is graft;that it is expended ori rivers and creeks.that can’t be.made ‘navigable;is wasted sty alocal demand for govern- Ymoney.Mr.’Small asks that. thé projects provided for that are not feasible be named,if there are such, rather than discredit the whole prop- osition.That is a jusi demand,The worthy projects should not suffer be- cause of the ‘unworthy,for that some | eaeneeara “Meinbers ofthe National Guard,or those who enlisted when the Guard was called out,’and who-later chang- ed their minds and wanted to back out,have a fuller realization than ever before of the meaning of that Scripture which sayeth:“No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back,is fit for the king- dom of God.”The “slackers”have beeh subjected to great humiliation in concentration /camps and their econduct.will-be remembered’against them while they live and.will be “cast up”to their descendants of un- born generations.It is"near x50 years since the War of the Revolu- tion,and yet we hear —occas:onaily that certain people were Gescencants of “Tories.”, Whether they deserve it or not, The Landmark confesses to a feeling of pity for the poor fellows whose courage failed arid whq “have been subjected -to-public humiliation. Those who have confessed to fear and sought to escape are ‘more hon- est than some others,for if an exam- ination of the inmost feeling could be. made,many would be found just as anxious to quit,but pride and pride alone prevents an open avowal.When Col.Zeb.Vance,riding at the head of a Confederate regiment,saw a rabbit running away and shouted, “Go it,Molly Cottoncail;i:1 didn’t have a reputation to sustain i’d be with you!”he spoke for a large num- ber.All of us would do many things but for our pride—and pride that keeps us from doing the wrong thing is important.It’s a pity that the poor fellows who seek to back out didn’t have that pride,True it would force them into a service in which they have no heart,but probably a different feeling would come later,to some of them at least—and that’s what The Landmark started out to suggest.There are some folks who are hopelessly “yellow”;for them there is no remedy.Others who ap- parently lack courage at times have shown under other circumstances,a courage that commanded all admira- tion.The history of all wars snows that men who at first manifestea fear,and who sometimes had to be forcibly restrained from deserting, later made soldiers whose courage never quailed,some:of them __per- forming deeds of heroism that chal- lenged all admiratfon.And so this are unworthy will hardly be denied.the poor fellows whose courage fail- A way shoyld be found to eliminate the graft.A long step in this direc- tion would be an ainendmeni to tie “eonstitution permitting the Pres{dent to veto objectionable items in an ap- propriation bill.As the law is now he must sign or reject the bill as a whole and in this way the graft schemes are often permitted to pass rather than allow worthy causes to fail.6 A commander of men—whether he be captain of a company or a briga- dier—must be “a man of parts”if he i@:fit:for his job.Therefore,if ne 1s fit for his job,‘he is worth more than the private in the ranks,no matter how worthy the private—for the lat-| ter is simply a machine—it is his business to”obey orders,The’officer man who directs the machitet *‘and who is responsible for its suc- Ress or failure,But when you ex- mine the pay-roll and find a colonel, for instance,getting more pay for one ay than a private gets in a month; :en ‘even a lieutenant—-getting—as ..@much in three days as a_private ets.ina month,the conviction is Ea you that the divide is ardly fair.The officers might wor- P along on less,but at all events the rivate should have more. r ‘It looks to us,”says the Char- gc Observer,remarking on_the spat”between Gov.Craig and Chief gustice Clark,“like a case of two able| fen making a childish spectacle of Promises before the public.”Very uch that way.When Gov.-Craig ap- fpointed a lady his private secretary, dudge Clark couldn ation to take a fall oui of the Gov- ernor for his well known opposition #o woman suffrage;and then Gov.

The decision of the prison board was to do the very thing the Citizen says it didn’t do.It decided “to farm out the State convicts to private con- tractors”and sent them to a private contractor at Badin,‘the aforesaid private contractor being ‘engaged in constructive work for a private cor- poration, Carranza talks fair,but he wants the American troops outof ‘Mexico; that’s what he’s working for.His promises to maintain order along the border,and_in other parts of Mexico, fare of little value—ior no matter cere—it has been pretty well demon- strated that he can’t control certain cultivated crops,produced crop—val- how sincere his purpose—if.he is sin-| CORN:PER FARM WORKER.

Says the News-hetter:: In the census year the production of.crop wealth per farm worker rang- ed from $135 in New Mexico to $1,- 378.in‘North Dakota.In-North Caro- lina our average was $236,and:our rank was744th.Only Louisiana,Mis- sissippi,Alabama and New Mexico made a_poorer showing.Acre for acre we outranked 40 States in power to produce crop wealth;but worker for worker we fell behind 43 States of the Union.The contrasts are startling...In North Carolina 605,000 farm workers on 8,813,000 cultivated acres,produc- ed_crop values amounting to $142,-890,000.But in North Dakota 132,- 000 farm workers on 20,455,000 acres ues amounting to $180,635,000. That is to say,we had more than four times as many farm workers asinNorthDakota,we cultivated less than half as many acres,but.they produced greater crop wealth by nearly $40,000,000.In per-acre pro-duction we beat North Dakota two and a half times over;in per-worker production North Dakota beat us nearly six times over.Here indeed is food for reflection.Our soils —pro- duce abundantly,but our farmers produce meagerly. The production of crop wealth per farm worker in North Carolina in the census year ranged from $111 in Cherokee to $692 in Edgecombe.Six counties in North Carolina lead.all the rest by a large margin.Named in descending order they are Edge- combe,Scotland,Robeson,Greene, Johnston and Wilson.Production -per farm worker in Edgecombe was $692, in Scotland $604.In all_these :coun- ties the bulk of the crop wealth .pro- duced consists of cotton or tobacco, or both—the two most valuable of the standard farm crops,in per-acre yield:e Thirty-six counties more’were above the State average of $236.For the most part they are in the cotton and tobacco region. Only seven counties in the State produced less crop wealth per farmer than the French farmers,whose av-~ erage is $126.Named in descending order they are Henderson,Graham, Swain.Watauga,Wilkes, and Cherokee.They are all mountain counties and the bulk of their crop wealth is produced by grain and for- age crops,The per acre value ofsuchcropsiseverywheresmallwhey) compared with that of cotton and to- bacco.

We look over the North Carolina papers and we are astounded at the! number of “crying needs”there are in this State.In one town there is a, “erying need”for play grounds;in another a “crying need”for a new hotel;in another a “crying need”for a new depot;in another a “erying need”for a Y.M.C.A.—and_the “crying need”business is something really awful.Just what a=crying need’is we do not know.We take iff that it is a need that asserts itself above the other noises of the town; ‘a need that insists that it shall be heard;—and while the Tight Wads _pass along they put cotton in their “ears.They do not hand out a Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup congealed in the yellow coin.They just don’t hear the cry. Perhaps the crying needs keep on and finally some one hears and with a check running into several figures soothes the need that cried,There- fore it behooves us all.when we hear the crying need asserting itself with tearful eyes and lusty lungs,«to come across and stop what might be termed hv the Tight Wad “the bawling of the brat.” Baseball Serap—C ourt Items.

Reported as bearing a scaled mes-“sage from Emperor Williarh of Ger- many,to President,Wilson,rifnning the gauntlet of innumerable dangersfrommines,8ea-sweepeys and enemy warships,and bringing a cargo of dyestuffs,chemicals and mail.esti- mated at 750 tons,the German under- \sen merchantman,the Deutschland.ietly slipped into Chesapeake Bay uinday morning at 1.45.It was thecompletionofa4,000-mile sex voyage ’for the craft,the longest and mosthazardouseverattemptedbyanysub- marine.Three hours later,led by thetugThomasIF,Timmins,the little vessel with a record of 18 days of mys-terious vigil off the Virginia capes,the great submarine bevan the--last leg of her voyage,up the Chesapeake Bay,and anchored near Baitimore.The Deutsthland carried mounted in her conning tower,two small guns. of about three-inch caliber.There ‘ no evidence of torpedo tubes.She ered by two engines of the latcst.type. The boat is capable of submerging in less than two minutes.On the sur- face_of the water the submersiblehasaspeedoffromtwotothreeknots an hour more than the aveXige mer- chant steamer. According to Pilot Fred.Cocke oftheVirginiaPilots’Association,the first American to board the Deutsch- land after she arrived on this side of the Atlantic,the crew wore regu- lation uniforms of German merchant- men seamen.No.flag.was;displayed when the Deutschland first appeared off the capes.Later,when inside the bay,the German merchantman’s en- sign was raised. Captain Cocke said the commander of the Deutschland made no effort to conceal anything and was extremely frank in stating ,his mission to the United States—that of instituting an undersea merchant marine export and import business between the UnitedStatesandGermany. Captain:Cocke ‘said the commanderoftheDeutschlandstatedthathe left his German home port on June 23,and although.he-encountered anumberofmerchantships,and’onewarship,that he easily escaped de- tection by submerging.He declared that the entire voyange was unevent- ful.Reaching the vicinity of the Virginia coast Saturday morning the Deutschland remained far outside, knowing that the capes were guardedbyenemywarships,and came in Sat- urday night under cover of darkness. The commander declared that he found no difficulty in evading the two enemy cruisers outside of the capes,by sub- merging;that at one time he was within 500 yards of the French cruis- er but passed in unobserved. The daring of the German.com- mander was shown in the statement that while submerged he ran“past the warships,coming to the surface whenwithinfourmilesofthecoastline.After that the remsinder of the jour.ney to absolute safety was easy. Regarding his/vessel as a_mer- chantman subject to no unusual re- went-up-theChesapeakewithoutwaitingtonoti-fy local ¢ustoms and quarantine au- thorities of his presence.He was five hours away before Norman Ham- iltor|,collector of Norfolk-Newport News port,heard the news and start- ed on his trail aboard the coast guard cutter Onondaga.It is understood that this was merely to.keep the strange craft.under surveillance as &neutrality precaution.To Establish Business of ter Liners. The boat is consigned to A,Schu- macher &Co.,Baltimore agents ofthe:North German Lloyd Line,and .her cargo to the Eastern Forwarding: Company,a concern said to have heen organized a few weeks ago especial- ly to handle the business of underwa- ter lincrs.The latter company has a pier and warehouse,in which are Atored the goods to be loaded on the Deutschland for her return trip. In German quarters in Baltimore the news of the submarine’s arrivalwashailedwiththekeenestdelight.Those who knew of her coming had been.concealing alarm for two °or hreé days,as she was due to arriveaboutthemiddleoflastweek.It is understood that she |traveled morethan4,000 miles,going some 800 Miles out of her course to avoid ene-my_shins. The Deutschland is no converted war-craft,but a brand new commerce farrier,owned in Bremen.and sent, here.on a purely commercial mission,according to Henry G.Hilken, senior member of the Schumacher eencern,She belongs to Rhederei, Company,Ltd.)and was launched atKielinMarch. The novel project was about nine months ago, said,by F,A.Lohmann, Underwa- Mr. cern,who organized the Ocean Navi- pation Company.The project,Mr. ilken said,was conceived “hy Ger- an commercial interests who want- @d to re-onen trade with the UnitedStates.We need some of Germany’s commodities and Gérmany”needs fome of ours.“It is a vurely commer-cial proposition and that is all there|is to Jit. .-{can ports as any other and this gov- ‘Ter 2 JO ave no concern in thealso-equipped with a bridge and an ernment would hi i}courts becomes necessary. the had a tonnage of only about 500, the‘Oc ean,inclined to give full credit to the GerLimited(Ocean Navigation)man officials for conceiving the idea conceived|use-of the submarine.Hilken|pr opesition,however,head of a!yegseolBremenexportingandimprovingcon-|ages except that of The time has not vet come}Deutschland and asked that this ov-L when Zepnaling can cross the ocean.fe these Bremen merchants thoueht|character, t ey’d tr¥a ‘stilmarine.’T have kept |le secret,‘wt cotirse,all this time ‘hee \ jgard her_as partaking of the charac- for med by submhrines under convoy.

The first concern of the United States in the arrival of the Deutsch- landis-to determine whether the sub- mersible-is-properly-.a-merchant-ves- sel or whether under any interpreta-tion of the principles of internation~- al law she could be classed as a war-ship,Nothing but an examination of the submarine itself with a survey of her armament,if any,and the.com- position and character of:her crew can settle the point.This will be made by the State Department and the cus- toms authorities,at once. Whichever way the issue is decided new questions.-of international law are almost sure to be added to the many which the war has produced for the United States. As a_warship the Deutschland would be required to leave an Amer- iean-po~t within 24 hours:of her ar- rival unless additional time was re- quired to make her seaworthy.As purely a commercial ship she would be as free to enter and leave Ameri- novel manner of her coming or the fact that the ingeunity and daring of the German admiralty had been able to get a ship through the allied block- ade.If she should venture to-return to Germany the submarine would en- joy protection of-the United States within the three-mile limit.If she should fall a prey to hostile warships on the high seas the concern of:this government,in its stand for the safe- ty of peaceful commergial —ships, would be governed entirely by the conduct and character if the,subma- rine itself pgecisely as if she sailed wholly.above-the water. Based on such information as had come to hand.State Department offi- cials were disposed to aecept the statement of the German |captain that his is a merchant ship.If the submarine flies a merchant flag;if she is manned by a civilian crew;if she carries no offerfSive armament and is plainly engaged in commerce, it is not regarded as necessary that any question shall be put to the dip- lomatie branch of the government by the customs authorities.The State Department has’well established its position on the question of offensive and defensive armament on merchantships. It is supposed that the Dactechland does carry some guns but if they are of the type usually mounted on sub- marines they are of comparatively light caliber and probably will not fall under the ban,unless it is devel- iped that the guns can be_trained ahead instead of only aft.The pres- ence of torpedo tubes,if there are any,might present a new problem, but the officials are disposed to regard them as not sufficient in themselves to stamp the vessel as a warship unless there is carried a supply of torpe- does. One peint of much interest to offi- cials is the ownership of the Deutsch- land,which may have a great deal to do with her status.If it should ap- pear that the ship is owned and op- erated by the German government, that fact might cause officials to re-7 ter of a naval auxiliary,If any questions arise as to the exact char- acter of a ship,due time may be tak- er-by the port officials to determine them,particularly if recourse to the Possibilities. Successful negotiations of the high seas by submarine craft as demon- strated by the German Deutschland in navigating more than 3,000 miles through areas infested by enemy war vessels,is regarded by American na- val officials as indicating the quick approach of the time when giant un- derwater boats will divide honors with the superdreadnaucht types as mas- ters of the seas.The sensational feat of the Deutschland caused a stir in navy circles,many officers accepting it as:the first practical fulfillment of the faith naval constructors have put in the theory of underwater navigation on the high seas seale.Theoretic:ally the cruising radius of the submarines of the United States fleet is 5,000 miles but the longest single cruise eve: completed by them without mishep was that made by the K-class boats last year from San Francisco to Hon- olulu,a distance of about 2,000 miles.

Many Progressives Refuse ‘Support Hughes. New York Times. }“Progressives in many parts of the *‘country are raising the banner of re- ‘yolt.and refusing to follow Colonel Theodore Roosevelt into the Repub- ‘lican fold.Indications that many lmembers of the third party will vote and.work for the re-election of Pres- ‘ident Wilson abound in : ‘telegrams .received by.Bainbridge Colby,who was a faithful follower of Golenel Roosevelt until the Colonel ‘decided to leave the Progressive ship thigh and dry and support Hughes. ‘Phe stand Mr.Colby took at the ameeting of the Progressive national committee in Chicago,when he pro- tested against “delivering”the Pro- gressive party to the Republican nom- inee,has resulted in making him .a leader of the irreconcilable element in ‘the Bull Moose organization.This is ‘composed of Progressives who are de- ‘termined to remain in the middle of the road,come what may.Progress-ives of this type are bombarding Mr. _petnnaneeeanecayASsnttsheSSOES AATEC to ‘Colby with messages asking him for, advice and urging hjm to assume the MNeadership of the party.These letters show that Charles E. yHaghes may lose the ProgressivesupportonwhichtheRepublicanshad ‘counted in a pivotal State like In-‘digna and an important State like«Missouri.

'Not a Political Deal,Says Sena- tor Simmons. "Senator Simmons Friday issued justification in charges that the Superior Court judgeship was a po-litical deal. -'“From ‘letters received and from other sources,”he said,“I am advis-éd that there are those in North Car-_-plina_who are charging that the ap-|‘pointment by Gov.Craig of the Hon.| Francis D.Winston to the judgeship made vacant by “the death of Judge Peebles,was a political deal,and that‘I was influential in connection with it. “I want to say emphatically that there is no justification for this state- ment so far as I am concerned,and I am confident the same is true with respect to Gov,Craig. “T did not know,and had no intima- tion,that Judge Winston was a can- coercionmadetionalthe federal oath of enlistment at our ‘obilization camps,are true,there iould be an extensive field of in- iry into conditions which cannot be justified by any circumstances that ‘have arisen or may arise,The Citizen has been informed that the vilest lan- gvage and epithets were applied by|y commanding officers to soldiers in the ranks who felt justified in refusing to Be mustered into the Federal service, a step which was well within their letters and] a statement in which he says there is noap- ‘pointment of Francis D.Winston to a THE,INCOME TAXES. Amounts Paid By Corporations in North Carolina. Washington Dispatch to New \York Times,:; Corporations paying the Federal income tax in the fiscal year just end- ed,covering.the period of the calen- dar year.1915,had an aggregate net income of $5,690,994,178 in that year, This fact.was disclosed-“when the Treasury Department made publie the tax returns for the year just closed in the various internal revenue dis- tricts.The total income tax collect- ed from corporations for the fiscal ear ended June 30,1916,was $56,- 909,941.78,and the total income—tax collected during the same period from individuals was $67,957 488,50,mak- ing a total.collection from both sources—corporations and individ- uals—$124,867,430.28, The corporations pay the normal tax rate of 1 per cent.on their net income...As-the corporation tax paid by them on such net income was $56,- 909,941.78,it is apparent that the net income of the corporations paying the tax during the year was not less than $5,690,994,178.The aggregate income on which the individual tax was paid has not been announced,but since the normal tax is 1 per-cent,on net in- come,it is apparent that individuals paying the tax had a net income larg- er than $6,795,748,850,and that the net income of both individuals °and corporations paying the tax was something greater than $12,486,743,- 028 during 1915,This is the minimum net value of the business of the coun- try covered by the tax as uncovered by the brief announcement of collec- tions made by the Treasury Depart- ment.The figures show that one-fifth of the corporation tax was paid by the first and second New York districts, embracing New York city,and that more than one-third of the individual income tax was paid by residents of those two districts.These two dis- tricts paid more than $12,000,000 of the corporatiore income tax,and more than $25,000,000 of the individual in- come tax,an aggregate of more than $37,000,000,which means that the net income on which the tax was paid in the two New York districts was more than a minimum of $3,700,000,000. (In the fourth North Carolina (eastern)district the corporation tax- es collected amounted to $116,802.67 and the individual income taxes to $52,429.44.In the fifth North Caro, lina (western)district the corpora- tion taxes amounted to $207,730.69 and the individual to $128,483.23). American Saw Villa and Taike to Him? Additional _evidence of the more friendly —attitude of the Carranza government came to Washington Fri- day in the form of a warning com- municated by Mr.Arredondo to the |State Department at the direction of General Carranza in connection withthebattlebetweenVillaandCarranza forces at Corralitos.The message ad- mitted a-serious defeat for the Car- ‘ranza troops and asked that ~the American forces exercise unusual larly in the Big Bend region of Texas, as there was reason to believe the icipitate a new border incident.The message was promptly forwarded to formation. At the same time the State De- partment received a report from an American in Mexico that he had seen and talked with Villa personally near Carralitos a few days before the fight there.’The bandit.leader was said to have entirely recovered from wounds received at Columbus. This message,the source of which was not revealed,added that Villa had been continuously in the Corrali- tos region since the American pursuit was halted by the élash at Barral,the first outbreak of hostility against -General Pershing’s expedition by Car= ranza ‘soldiers.e.

It was about dark when the ‘boy was returning home,and it was not until about 11 o’clock that the body was found that night.The fact that this was their only child and one large enough to begin to be some help to the parents,and also that they had just buried their other child,makes this a very pathet- ic incident.It is one of the hidden mysteries of Providence.that only the resurrection can reveal.The poet says wisely that:God works in a mys- terious way His wonders to perform.May the All-Wise Providence place his.all-sustaining arm beneath these parents in their tribulation,and sus- tain them through these dark hours of trial.

Collapse of the Buffalo Shoals Bridge. .The Statesville -Buffalo ShoalsbridgeentheStateCentralhighwaywentdown.at 10.30 Sunday morning. At the time the bridge was probably eight feet above water on the Iredellsideandacrossthemainchannelof the river.On the Catawba side,how-ever,the river had spread out of banks and the end of the bridge onthatsidewasunderwater.The wash- ing of the foundations on the Cataw- ba side and probably the weakeningofthepiersinthemiddleofthe,riv- er by the heavy debris that constant-ly dashed:against them,finally pulled the end of the bridge from its supportontheIredellsideandthenthewhole structure went into the river with acrash.The bridge was apparently in line and the piers seemingly firm untiltheendofthestructurepulledloose} from its support on the Tredell side. The giving way on the Iredell side was gradual—inch by.inch.Many spectators watched with interest.Ev- ery few minutes the end of the bridgeslippedalittlenearerthe-river.Sometimes the motion sent it backalittleway,but it continued to-slip nearer and nearer to the edge.Final- lv the end of the bridge pulled offthefoundationontheIredellbankanddropped.into ‘the:river:-Instantlythewholestructuretoppledoverintotheriveronthelowerside,the piers disappeared and in a moment the mammoth steel structure,which washed for a little way after it struck the.water,disappeared except a small portion that stuck up out of the wa- ter for a time near the Catawba side. The bridge was completed less than four years ago,at a cost of about $15.000,and was operated as a_toll bridge.It was owned by a stock com- pany of which Mr.C.V.Henkel of Statesville is -president and Mr.Os- borne Brown of Long Island secretary and treasurer.The destruction of the bridge will seriously inconve- nience travel between Catawba andTredellandtourist.travel.over the State Central highway to and from western North Carolina. The bridges all down the river,as well as above,have been washed away.The Mooresville toll bridgeandallthebridgesacrosstheriverin Mecklenburg,Lincoln and Gaston ~“pounties,were swept off.Raging Stream and What it Carried. The river all day Sunday was a raging torrent.The waters extended from hill to hill,reaching farther outand‘to higher points than has been known by this generation.The roll--ing,muddy waters reminded one of an immense moving van,carrying debris and various things it had .washed loose and picked up along its route. A little barn,stored with roughness. jostled by and many called attention to a setting hen on her nest in theshucks.It was not long until pieces of the Catawba railroad bridge,a few miles up’the river,began to pass,‘some of the cross-ties having rail-at- tached.Later came cowsjand a_horse,all dead.One party counted,in anhourandahalf,273 bales of cotton. Some household articles were seen and one party reports seeing what he took to be a man in overalls. The barn of Mr.H.F.Elliott of Shiloh township was seen passing. He had removed his live stock but some chickens were carried away by the waters. ;Family Marooned. But the keenest interest was felt for the safety of the Hudspeth fami- ly,residents of the Catawba side,be- tween the Buffalo Shoals bridge)‘and Long Island.The report had gainedcurrencythattheirhomehad’been taken and thev had taken refuge on aknoll.They had been seen to com- out in viewof'the spectators and the waters,which had already surround-ed their place of refuge,were rising towards covering it.f fs Clay Company’s Damage.Practically.all_of-the property oftheBuffalo.‘Clay Co.,|owned by viver and two seems that the dam proper kept.in- tact but the Catawba side washed outaroundthedam-about-'400 feet andthecompany’s office,at the foot ofthedam,was washed away.It is be-lieved that had the dam:given away everything below.would have gone. Much Damage at Monbo. ‘The cotton mill,200 bales of cot-ton andthe “store“at>Monbo on the Catawba sidé were washed awayabout6o’clock ,Sunday‘afternoon, following a sudden rise of about twofeetofthe’river.About the same time.the warehouse of the-Turner Mills at East Monbo,on:the.Iredell side,floated.off,with 400.bales:of cotton.Jt lodged for awhile downtheriverbut,smashed during the night.The mill proper:stood but the water rose in it to the second story. It has not been learned just what the damage was to the Long Island cotton mill but it was not washed away.The water rose high upon it. The Catawba Railroad Bridge. The most serious damage to rail- way traffic in.this section is,the loss of the Catawba bridge.It and aboutthreemilesofrailroadtrackwere washed away.The bridge gave away Sunday morning about 11 o’clock, The last train to pass over it was Saturday afternoon.Mr.Gatling, chief engineer of roadway mainte- nance for the Southern,and General Manager Coapman of Washington, arrived here yesterday morning and took up the matter of relieving con- ditions as quickly as possible.Crews, materials and machinery of all kinds have been ordered here for replacing the bridge as quickly as possible.For temporary use boats,flats,cables, ete.,have been ordered here by ex- press to be used in transferring and crossing until the bridge can be re- placed. Mr.Gatling says that it is impos- sible to reagh Asheville any way by rail,owing to the ‘washing away ofbridges.It was reported yesterday that a section of the Swannanoa tun- nel had caved in. Moving Out of Houses—Crop Loss. Many peonle who lived near the river,whose homes the water had never reached before,had to move out on account of the flood.At Mr.A. P.Clark’s home,in Fallstown town-ship,the water‘got high enough in the house to run a boat in the front door.Mr.J,A.Sherrill,who.lived on the Catawba side of the river,near Sherrill’s Ford,‘also had to vacate his home;and others suffered in thesameway. In addition to the great damage to industrial plants and other buildings, the crop loss is of course enormous. Other Flood News. The rainfall here,according to the record of Profs D.Matt.Thompson, from July9 to July 16th inclusive, was a total of 9.16 inches,which fell as follows:9th,1.90;10th,1.52;11th, -72;12th,.05;13th,none;14th,.12; 15th,3.52;16th,1.33 inches. It is understood here that the mail carrier from Taylorsville to Alkalithia was washed down cs.stream,lost all the mail and his horse was drowned. He escaped. Mr.L.A.Lineberger,a salesman with the Johnston-Belk Co.,received word yesterday that his brother-in- law,Mr.Wm.Brotherton.was drown- ed bythe high waters fn Lincoln coun- ty.No details were obtainable. The river began to-fall-about>.10 o’clock Sunday night and fell 15 feet during the night.5 Many gathered at the bridge on the Turnersburg road to see it go but it did not.The water lashed against it but unless it was weakened atthe north end—it-—suf= fered no serious hurt. Mrs.R.E.Armfield wired yester- ‘day from Mount Airy to Mr.Armfield that everybody is safe there and that property damage is estimated at $250,000.It is understood here that the Wilkesboros and Elkin suffered heavy damage to industries. DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. The Story of the Flood From Other Points.

Miss.Martha Haywood,president of; the Equal Suffrage League of Ral- eigh,writes the Raleigh News and Observer that her understanding of the’charge to g |grand jury is that it is for the purpose of imparting infor- mation to grand jurors as to what constitutes violations of the law and what are the duties of grand jurors. Inasmuch as Judge Bond includes in his charge an argument against wo- man suffrage,Miss Haywood wants |to know if he means that,the grand |jury should indict all.who favor equal suffrage or who hold on that ‘question opinions contrary to his. Miss.Haywood’s point.is.well,tak- en.The Landmark has no criticisn: of Judge Bond on account of his views on woman suffrage.He'has a right.to -his opinion on that subject and he has a right to express it.But he has no right to talk about woman suffrage or any other subject no:re- lated to the duties of grand jurors,| when he ds addressing a granc jury in his official capacity.He has just as) |much right,in his grand jury charg-| /es,to talk about the tariff,‘the war| in Europe,the Mexican situation,the! administration’s.foreign policy,or] any other subject not related to the| duties of grand jurors,as he has to} talk about woman suffrage.In char | ing grand jurors a judge find | abundant material to talk about with| which the grand jurors are concerned.| Their duties and_their | ties cover so wide a range that it is| difficult to compress into an hour’3| talk or less—and the charge should| not exceed an hour—the important| things they should hear.When a judge| takes advantage of the situation to| 'discuss outside matters he is fritter-| ~|ing away the time that should be giv | en to the duties for which he is en- gaged;and in allowing his violent op- |position to woman suffrage to’lead ‘him into discussing that question | from the bench;Judge Bond is mak-!|ing a spectacle of himself and is add-| | can responsibili-| |the other villages /stones and iron Gravestones asDervicadins an Vaults as Bombproofs,«— Writing from Dompierre,Picardy, in France,a reporter of the ‘Asséciat- ed Press tells this interesting story,of the fighting:i A string of great balloona —‘you can count 16 without glasses —is the first obvious thing that a reporgeesonthisfront.Next his eyes| wander to the uncountable,batteries! in action,ephone stations swing beyond.‘the German.gunfire.On the German side not a single balloon is visible.Fifteen have been buyned in the air by a_secret contriv- ance,known only to the allies,since theoffensive began.A German aero- plane is rarely sighted,while French | aviators are constantly jon the wing,|A dramatic and_startling novelty has been .pr esented by the,allied avi- ators in this great offensive.FrenchandBritishairmenhaveactually¢o- operated in infantry charges,They have swept over the battlefield at aslowanaltitudeas600feetandsome of the more daring have swooped over the struggling armies at as low a height ds 300 feet.These airmen have-signaled to the French-artilery’ telephone.the precise position “of ‘the Geman guns and the locations of the “German forces waiting for the French assault.The French nave’developedonagreatscaletheiraerialtorpe- do,which is charged with a higher ex- plosive than the large calibred shell, These torpedoes can be hurled half ;a mile with such rapidity that a sec jond will leave the ejector while the i first is,still in the air.

Even though the waters of the Ca- tawba and Yadkin rivers and lesser streams are back in their banks,it is yet impossible to’get anything like an accurate idea of the damage in Iredell county resulting from the high waters which reached their crest Sunday and Sunday night.It is cer- tain’that the county did not lose a bridge’of consequence.It was at first reported that the fine steel brideovertheLittleYadkin6ntheState.Post road,and the one at Sharpe’s mill were washed away,but this was an error.The approaches to these bridges were slightly damaged butwererenderedimpassableonlytem- porarily. ~The inland farms,;~including”;land and crops,were heavily damaged by washing.Some of the top soil of the very best lands of the county now forms bars and banks along the streams.The roads were badly wash- ed but nothing like one would expect from such hard and continuous rain- fall. Damage to Industrial Plants. On the Catawba river every bridge was washed away and every indus- trial plant was washed away or bad- ly damaged.The damage was less to the Long Island cotton mills on the Catawba side than to any of the oth- er mills.The mill proper was dam- aged.very little.‘The first floor was submerged but all the machinery on that floor except 21 cards had been moved to the second floor and the wa- ter did not get to it.The damage to the cards will be about $2,500,this being the amount it will require to recover them,The cotton gin in con- nection with the mill.was washed down &considerable distance,lodged against the island anc partly demol- ished.There was a break insthe dam of the mill-race but Mr.Geo.H. Brown,president of tne.mill,thinks this can be remedied at a cost not to exceed $500.Mr.Brown estimates the total damage to the property as in excess of $25,000.The mill is cap- italized at $75,000.Work has already begun getting the mill and machin- ery ready to resume operation. Loss at Monbo. The loss 19 the Turner Mills Co., which operate the mills at Monbo,ontheCatawbasideandatEastMonbo on the Iredell side,is estimated at$175,000 to $225,000.The mill on the Catawba side,the cotton warehouse, 200 bales of cotton and the store were completely destroyed.What was left in the way of fragments of the property is buried several feet in the sand.The damage on the Iredell side was not.so great.The warehouse was destroyed and 400 bales of cot- ton were washed out or buried in the sand and mud.It is estimated that 250 bales of the cotton is among the ruins along the bank in the neighbor- hood of the mill.Some of it was towed from the stream Sunday—and tied to trees along the.hillside with rope.Of course it is badly damaged. The cotton at both the plants,was valued at about $50,000,it being long staple cotton and worth a big‘price. he waters rose on the Fast Monbomilltowithinabout.two feet of the second story of the mill..The first floor end machinery were submerged. The floor continued to give way un- der weight of machinery and is badly damaged.The walls,it is believed now,are solid.The boiler was also submerged and is damaged.The waste room was carried away. The mill is 80x300 feet,two sto- ries,and had been operating about six years.W.D.Turner is presi- dent,Sam Turner treasurer,W.A.

The Railroad Line. The Southern railway line from Ca- tawba river to Morgsnton had onlytwobreaksofconsequence.One’was! between Catawba and Claremont;the second,a little worse,was between Connelly Springs and Valdese.Both were repaired so that trains passed over Wednesday and the road wasopenedfromCatawbatoGlenAlpine: Leaving Statesville Tuésday,‘the trip was by train to Eufola;then by motor car a few miles;then a walk of three or four miles to the river,taken over ina small boat which was a littleunsteadyand.in the face of so much calamity naturally made one a trifle nervous;then a walk into Catawbaandfromthereonacrankeartothefirstbreakinthetrack,where there was transfer to an engine and exboose.

Transfers Made at the River— Passengers Deceived Wednes- day. It is expected that the Southern railway will have its ferry in opera- tion on the Catawba teday;that reg-ular schedules will then be made be-tween Glen Alpihe and Salisbury and passengers can ‘be transferred with some convenience.It is also expect- ed that mail and ,express.will be transferred»and some freight—in a few days.No.11 will.transfer pas- sengers at the river from No.36.

Mr.J.D.Moss has heen sent here from the train despatcher’s office at Asheville and will have headquar- ters here temporarily for the purpose of despatching trains on this end of the division. Some of the railroad men up the road—-not the “higher-ups”~but some who didn’t know or didn’t care—were careless about the mformation they gave out.Tuesday some.of _them were telling people that!transfer would be made by ferry at the river on Wednesday and left the impres-sion that a passenger train would be in waiting at the edge of the river on the Iredell side.They should have known that this wasn’t true.Wed- nesday they sold tickets to Catawbaandsomeofthemlefttheimpression that a ferry boat was in waiting at the river,with a passenger train right on the other side.As a resultanumberofpeopleuptheroadtook Passage.When they got to the river they found little boats,unsafe for many people,and so many workmen waiting to be put over that the trans- fer of passengers was stopped tem- porarily after a littee time.On this side there was no train for passen- gers and they got to Statesville by automobile or as-best they could.The Southern didn’t sell tickets for trans- portation on this side,but some of its employes left the impression stated—png stated it as an actual fact...The fdethern is doing the best it can in the’disaster.There is no cause for criticism on that score;but deceiv- ing passengers in the manner stated was utterly inexcusable.They should have been told the exact truth. Deaths Estimated at About 50. Charlotte Observer. Additional bodies found Wednes- day in scattered districts in North Cagtolina brought the ~number of deaths from $he recent floods up to, approximately 50,with six personsmissingandbelievedtobedead.The estimate of 50 dead includes the nine Belmont bridge victims—still unac- counted for.Seven of the flood victims were drowned at Ronda,near Wilkesboro, in the overflow of the Yadkin river. They were in two houses cast ashore at Ronda,after having been washed 15 miles from the point’where they originally stood. The other deaths occurred in the 3at Cave and Chimney Rock section sdutheast of Asheville,where the Broad river raged through a narrow valley Sunday,carrying everything hefore it;near Belmont,on the Ca-tawba river;at Asheville and Bilt- more,and scattered fatalities else where.

It was suspected that the negro had been poisoned and to clear the matter it was decided to have an au- topsy and inquest.County Physician McElwee and Dr.Easley made the au- topsy examination yesterday morning but nothing was disclosed as to thecauseofdeath.At the inquest two or three negroes who were examined tes-tified that Johnson.told’them he thought he had been given a dose of noison and laid special emphasis on having taken_a drink of coffee at the home of a colored woman in States- ville.He also-made.statements which led to the opinion that he might have suspected getting the poison at Belmont,but none of those concerned who were examined gave any evidence of an incriminating na- ture.

Richmond capitalists have bought Bloomfield, will’operate it and add a fertilizer factory and probabl other develdp- ments later.This.was the good news made public yesterday.It would “be good news any time but is.more appreciated justnowonaccountoftheflooddisasters,which have brought so much badnews.The ‘purchasers -of=-the=mill areMessrs.W.‘S.Forbes and James A. Moncure of Richmond.The mill was owned by focal capitalists and others,Mr,C.M.Steele of Statesville being president of the company.The saleincludestheplantandallits.belong- ings,including the land,cotton gin, ete. Mr.Forbes is a millionaire meat atker and fertilizer manufacturer. He is interested in a number of indus- trial ‘enterprises’in this,State.Mr. Moncure is agent of the Federal Re- serve Bank at Richmond,is a man of large means and the leading financier of Virginia.Whether the plant willbeoperatedwiththesegentlemenas the sole owners,or whether they will‘form a corporation,is to be determin- ed.The plant will be operated simply as an oil mill for the present season. It is expected to have the fertilizer factory ready for business by the fall of 1917.‘ It is quite an event for Statesville that these Richmond capitalists have been interested here and to Mr.C.W.Boshamer is the credit due.Mr.Bos- hamer has long becn a salesman.forMr.Forbes and he took up with him and Mr.Moncure the purchase of this plant and finally carried the deal through after some difficulty.ThecommunityisindebtedtoMr.Bos- hamer for his successful efforts in in- teresting these capitalists in a States- ville enterprise,and it will be a pleas- ure to his numerous friends to know that he is to manage the plant.He is a capable business man,is interest- ed in helping his home town as well as the men who have invesxed their mon- ey here,and under his management the business will be a success.

FLOUR A LITTLE SHORT. Some Mills Cut Off ‘From Power —Freight Now Coming In— Trains Run to Marion. The Western North Carolina rail-roadisnow open from Salisbury toMariononthisendandfromAshe- ville to Ridgecrest on the other end. The first.train from Marion this way was run yesterday morning,‘leaving Marion at 6.10 .o’clock,arriving at the Catawba river at 8.40 o’clock. It is announctd officially that it will probably be the middle of next month before trains will be-able to go through from Marion to Ridgecrest. Whatever schedules are in effect nowanduntiltheroadisthoroughly onened,are expected to be very irref- ular.: The Post road to Wirston Salem is in operation:again,the bridge overLittleYadkinhavingbeenrepairedat a cost of $40 to $50. The Statesville Flour Mills,the Statesville Cotton Mills and the Pa- ola Cotton Mills,which have been idle for lack of power since Saturday, 1hth.expected to start up yesterday but the power was not strong enough. They hope to be able to run today. These are the only local plants that are seriously handicapped for lack ofelectricpower.The smaller plants which use electric power have been running but the power has been rath- er weak and uncertain. The Bloomfield Manufacturing Co. uses a steam plant and has been run- ning,right along.The furniture fac- tories have their own steam plants. The supply of flour in the loeal mills has run down to a minimum as a result of their net being able to run.The Statesville Flour Mills has only about 25 barrels on.hand but has plenty of wheat and can make 600 barrels a day -as soon as they have power,The local supply is short for the reason that 250 barrels were fur- nished the people of Wilkes countyandthe-crews at work on the Western road Friday and Saturday. For some days there was an em- bareo on freight west of»Salisbury and had this kept up staple groceries would have heen-running low in a few days.This embargo has been re- moved and shipments are beginning to come in and no further trouble isexpected, State Central Highway,Will BeOpenSoon—Building a Ferry. The State Central highway will be open for travel in about ten days by the reestablishment of Brown’s fer- ry,just below the site of the States- ville -Buffalo Shoals bridge,on the Catawba river.“Work is in progress on the ferry and landings are being built on both sides of the river.The river cut a new channel through to Ball’s creek on the Catawba side and travelers on that side will go down the river and by way of the Gold Mine,or Bandy’s store,and then take the highway to Newton and other points.If it is found practicable,the road will later be built up the river, from the ferry landing on the Cataw- ba side,to connect with the State Central highway near the bridge site. At the meeting of the stockholders of the Statesville -Buffalo Shoals Bridge Co.last week it was decided that the company was net authorized to operate a ferry and Mr.Osborne Brown of Long Island,who ‘owned and operated Brown’s ferry for 20 years and discontinued it when ‘the bridge was built,decided to re-estab- lish his ferry.The new ferry will be located about three-quarters of a mile above the site of the old Brown ferry.Mr.Brown had on hand the cable of the old ferry and will be able to get the new.-ferry in °operation earlier_for this reason.When thebridgeisrebuilt.he says he will vol- untarily discontinue the ferry.-: Mills Will Ask Southern PowerCo.For Damages.- The owners of the Long Island cot ton mill estimate their damage by thefloodat381-3 per cent.of the capital and surplus,which is $50,000.It was stated in the last issue of The Land- mark that the’loss “was in excess of $25,000.”The estimate is $50,000. An experienced business man-and mill man estimates that the loss of the Turner cotton mills at East and West Monbo is at least 75 per cent. of their capital—$250,000.He thinks at least $200,00 would be required to put the plant back as it was and coy-er all losses.7 It is understood that the Long Isl- and and Turner mills people will ask the Southern Power Company for damages,but they have given out no statement.It is understood that they hold that the dam was not properly constructed and that the break around the west end of the-dam caused a sudden rise in the river of five to eight feet,which resulted in damage to their property,which weuld.have not otherwise occurred.

Simpson.”He began railroad work as a boy by carrying water to section hands.

MET DEATH BRAVELY.

Self-sacrifice,servite to others,and a personal heroism which shall’be- come folk-lore jwhen history ~is for- gotten,marked the tragedy of Bilt- more green,Sunday,when Captain Lipe,the Misses Walker and _Miss Mabel Foister lost their lives in the turbid.flood sweeping through that bit of old England.transplanted to the hills of Carolina. The late master of Biltmore had trees planted along the streets of his English village,and these trees have thrived and grown marvelously since that day.They add to the beauty of la quaint and picturesque village,and jaround that third tree on the right from the lodge gate,centered the tragedy of Sunday.

This,then,left but Captain Lipe and his daughter,Kathleen,still in the tree.The last act of the old cap- tain,one of the very fitst men em- ployed by George W.Vanderbilt,and the oldest employe of the Biltmore estate,was to tie Kathleen to the tree with his coat.It was his supreme effort.He had done all that man might do,and then death came for him,too.and somewhere along thatlongtrailofdevastationhismud-cov- ered body now rests.The mistress of Biltmore has given orders that no pains,nor expense,be spared to re-cover the body,for Captain Lipe was a man—a man all the way through.

While it is true that-our losses have been nothing less than enormous,in fact have not yet nor cantheybedeterminedforweeks,we are nevertheless in- deed gratified to announce that beginning Monday,July 24,we will be able to restore service to all pointsonourlines,with only four exceptions._As to these exceptions,every effort is being expended,and everyresourceisbeingexhaustedtohurrythewerk,andwehopetoresumeserviceatthesepointsbeforethe end of the wees. What effort this has entailed can be slightly ap- preciated when one recalls that in addition to the injury toour plants we have had destroyed across the Catawba Biver seven electric circuits out of a total of nine,every bridge has been swept away,railroad transportation has been absolutely suspended and all communication by wire has either been seriously deranged or absolutely destroyed. Added to all this have been the severe weather con- ditions which have prevailed every day since the waters began to recede,making the work of restora- tion of service more difficult and in some instances destroying it almost as soon as it was _installed. When we look back upon what we have passed through we feel some degree of pride,not only in resuming service,but in the minimum of incon- venience which has been occasioned through our dixaster, Again let us express our gratitude to you for your patience,and in the event of anyslight interruptions during the next few days,which may come on ac- count of temporary work to resume prompt service, rest assured that all our forces are at work using their best efforts to remedy them and.that anything which distracts their attention only serves to delay. the work of restoration..
