There was a rather warm discus- sion of the armed ship issue in the Senate yesterday,but no action was taken.So far neither house of Con- agress has taken action on the Fres-| ident’s.request that a resolution of warning.be brought to a yote,but a vote’may be taken today or tomor- row, President Wilson has asked Con: gress to vote on the resolution warn: ing Americans to stay off shipsof bel- “Tigerents. The agitation,for the passage of "such a resolution ‘in Congress last week,the President said,was_being used abroad to show that the gov- ernment was.divided,and he asks that *the-question be settled.He refused a suggested compromise expressing confidence in the President,but asked that the vote be taken on a resolution warning Americans not to sail on ships of ;belligerents. “When the agitation was on in Con- gress last week it was said the res- olution wouldn’t pass the House two to one,but when the issue was pre- kented bythe President these mem- bers didn’t seem to be so anxious to vote. Following is the President’s letter to Congressman Pou: “My Dear Mr.Pou: “Inasmuch as I learn that Mr.Hen- ry,the chairman of the committee on rules,is absent in Texas,I take the liberty of calling your attenticn,15 ranking member of the committee,to a matter of grave concern to theecuntry.which can,I believe,be handled-under the rules of the House only by that committee. “The report that there are divid- ed counsels in Congress in regard (o the foreign policy of the government is being made industrious use of in foreign capitals.I believe that re- port to be false,but so long as it is anywhere credited it cannot fail to do ‘the greatest harm and expose the country to the most serious risks.! therefore feel justified in asking that ,your committee will permit me to “sarge an early vote upon the resolu- tions with regard to travel on armed merchantmen,which have —recently been so much talked about,in order that there may be afforded an imme- cussion and action upon them und that all doubts and coffjiectures may be swept away and our foreign rela- tions cleared of damaging misunder- standings. “The matter is of grave importance and lies so clearly within the ficla’of executive initiative that I venture to hope that your committee wil not think that I am taking unwarrante] liberty in making this suggestion 2stothebusinessoftheHouse,and_1 very earnestly commend it to their immediate consideration. “Cordially and sincerely you-s, “WOODROW WILSON.” Guns Less Active at Verdun— War Zone News.

Different Story Told By a Wilkes Paper. The North Wilkesboro Husiler has an account of the killing of Jim An- derson by Osborne Anderson,in Wilkes,which was told in Tuesday’s Landmark.As the Hustle:’s ac- count is.more favorable to Osborne Anderson than that printed by The Landmark,it is probably Osvorne’s side of the case.The Hustler says: “It seems that on Thursday Dock Anderson,Marshall Anderson,A.R. S.Anderson and Osborne R.Anderson, brothers,brothers-in-law and cousins, were all togethér and drinking.About night they all went home with Jim,THEPe Tit AndDeer.Brothers-ih iw. fot into a row.After Osborne hadrottenthemseparated,Jim ordered them all to leave the house an‘?made threats to kill the last one of them,and is said-to-have snapped his gun at them:~ ‘They left.After getting up the road apiece a gun fired,and Osborne, who was leading his little boy,iook- ed back and was shotin the face.‘He went on home and finding nimself tloody,washed.He then got his shot- gun and went back to Jim’s and call- ed him. “The report is that Jim looked uv, saw who it was and reached for his ein,when Osborne Anderson —shot him.The gun is said to have been found beside Jim on the floor with the forcarm removed, “Jim served aterm of one year on the road six-or seven years ago for cutting Greel Anderson with a knife at Greel’s home.” Statesville Debaters Chosen.

The following is from the Lexington Dispatch of this week: “A warrant was issued last week for a traveling salesman giving his name as F,J.Halsey,who it is:al- leged worked a rather slick trick on several jewelers of this seetion.among the number being A,KE.Sheets& Co.of this place.The supposed.sales- man -for a silver cleaning process agreed to do a certain amount of ad- vertising and to send a man after him who would give a demonstration if an Porder (ok ae -mUch!an TR NWA Piven TS him.Of course,he said,he must havecashwithfirstorder-as the demon- strator and advertising must,be paidfrom‘out these funds.Mr.’Sheets vave him:an-order;-but next morning hezan to wonder whether something had not hapnnéed to him.He found that the check had been cashed,no ad- vertising arranged for and the sales- man was gone.A Hieh Point jewel- er called up later in the day and said that he had been ‘stuck’for $36 and that the man had left town with no advertising arranged.Halsey repre- sented to Mr.Sheets that a Salisburv frm had riven him an order for $72 and showed one of.the sickers used v this firm in proof of the fact that he .had called upon them.However, when thev were called up over the tel- phone,they declared that no order had been given and they did not know how Halsey got hold of the sticker. Warnings were sent to jewelers’in several States and the officers in anumberoftownshavebeenadvised |. to look out for the man,who:will be brourht.back here to answer-a charge of false pretence“if caught.” Halsey was in Statesville Fe‘bruary 22d and submitted his proposition to Mr.H.B.Woodward,who accented and gave him a check for $18.Halsey represented to Mr.Woodward that he would arrange for advertising in the newsnapers and picture shows.Later Mr.Woodward became suspicious and inquired to see if advertising hadheenarrangedfor.When he found it had not,he called Halsey in and de-manded that his check be returned andthedealcalledoff.This was done.

This was most lively and amusing. Miss Swicegocd,the teacher.won the nrize.a box of candy.for being the prettiest girl,and Richard A.Ander- reecived the “handsome man’’ orize. Next came a fishing game.In this game a curtain was stretched across a corner of the rodm.behind which some one.was secreted.A vod and line with hock attached was provid- ed,-and-a_fee_of-ten-cents was charg- ed to fish.The “fish”consisted of naper hearts on which were written “fortunes,”usually in’the form of ludicrous verse.The verse on each “fish”caught was reed to au- dience.This afforded a lot of hearty lauchter and great fun. Then those who had bought son the bexes jwere at last granted the privilege of|© partaking of the contents with the pretty lasses who had prevarcd them, while the band playing filled the air with lively striins of music.

His purpose ih ‘speaking about the country is to arouse sentiment for national prohibition and to taisefundstoaccomplishitthroughna-tional legislation.He.pointed,put that we will not be thé nation we oughttobeuntilthewhiskeytrafficiscom- pletely eliminated.The government must’stop promoting,protecting and profiting by the traffic before we are fit for the next world.We are too prone to avoid responsibility for our condition.The question must be dealt with or be run from like cowards.

Today none of us live it and it takes the vivid recollection of the octoge- narian to even remember that it ever existed.At a later period was ex- ploited the Strenuous Life.Today we speak of it only to condemn it as the curse of American civilization.Social Service Work—Attitude of Church and Government.; ***“Every.relation in.life is concerned*in a correct application of its principles.Our,community life, cur religious life,our governmental life,will be determined by how we solve the problems arising out of the social question.When we speak of social service work,we generally mean that community endeavor com- monly called welfare work.We have made great strides in recent vears to-<ward.a realization of the obligation resting upon us to:see to it that nbne amongst us shall lack anything.The development of the forces which make for social betterment in North Caro- lina has been truly marvelous.Better vrovision for the insane,better care for the orphans,a home for tle child of blighted intellect,a training school for the boy of perverted tendencies, the community nurse,a more humane and merciful administration of the criminal law,jails-which are no long- er the home of vermin and filth,coun- ty homes all over North ‘‘arolina which are in truth and fav:real homes,a vigorous health department, backed by all the powers of.the State,a University which has shaken “ff the exclusiveness of culture,and is_striving to serve the world beyond its campus walls—these all indicate but -surely;~the-mind—which Christ-Jesus. “Although the Saviour of markind placed His approval upon welfare work.of a practical and.elementary nature when He said ‘inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these,my.brethren,ye have done it unto me,’still there be many high in the councils of the Church—at least of the Church to which I belong —who maintain that the Church has no part in this work.They contend ‘hat re- ligion is not concerned with the ma- was__in| terial well being of —mankiad.but eares only for the salvation of his soul.As for me I prefer to get my ideas of religion from James.and that when I go out in search for the highway that leads to the gate of the City Eternal,I want some one else, rather than an ecclesiastical .high priest of this kind,to show me the way.:5 “There be others who hold that rovernment is not concerned with the material _welfareof its citizenship—= that rovernment’s sole object is to see lo it that some one does not take from you that which you already have.* *Tt has a broader,a more hu- mane,a more righteous purpose than this.-I have no fault to find with the man who pleads for individualism, unless he means by this the individual license to prey on somé one else.Irelieve,too,in individualism.1f you mean by this that the government vill see to it that each individual shallhavetheopportunitytagetforhim-self the best of life avhich can be ob- tained,but not at the expense of some one else, Regarded As Charity. “As 1 said in the beginning,much has been done along welfare lines and iis well.I fear,however,that much that we do is done!in the spirit ©of handing down something to the man below—is done in a spirit of charity which is essentially selfish.It is popular nowadays to be benevolent. “We delight to put the Lord tinder obligations to us,when we follow the Scriptures and make a ‘gift to the poor as a loan to Him.”We meet in Social Service Conventions and there learned men and elegantly.gowned women discuss ways and means to ameliorate conditions ‘as.they obtainamongthemasses.We are perfect- ly willing that the poor shall be help-ed,-but deny the right of.the pdor tocomplain.We insist ‘that we shalljudgejusthowfarconditionsshall FREIGHT CARS WRECKED.

The matter of building a bridge across the Catawba river at Lookout,by Catawba and Iredell counties and the Southern:Power Compary,.and the purchase by the counties of the Buffalo Shoals.-—and,...Mooresville bridges,is vet unsettled.The agree- ment recently made at a joint meet- ing of the commissioners of the two counties,to build the one bridge and buy the other two,under conditions named,was ratified by both boards of commissioners’.at-their meetings Monday.——But_the attorney of —the Catawba board,as The Landmark was informed and so stated in its last issue,advised that the commissioners didn’t~have—the authority to proceed without a special act of:the Legisla- ture.The attornev of the Iredell board advised the Iredell commission- ers that they had the authority now. The Newton Enterprise thus makes report for the Catawba hoard:: “The decision of the joint meeting of the Catawba and Iredell commis- sioners to build the Isiand Ford bridge and buy the Buffalo Shoals and Mooresville bridges,was ratified at the meeting of Catawba commission- ers yesterdav,and the next General Assembly will be asked to pass an act authorizing the two connties —to carry out the resolutions of that meeting.In the meantime,if it shall be decided between the two counties that the commissioners have authority to construct the Island Ford bridge end buy the Buffato Shoals and Mooresville bridges without :n act of the Legislature,then..progedure will be made as considered pr3per. “The above is done with the under- standing.that the Buffalo Shoals and Mooresville bridges shall be painted and put in first class condition.” While not stating in so many words ‘that the county was advised that it did not have the legal author- ity to take action on the bride¢e prop- osition except by special act-of the Legislature,that seems to be the meaning of the Enterprise report, with the saving clause that it may vet be determined that the board has the authority. Meantime the owners of the Moo¥esville bridge have.not accepted the offer of the two counties for their bridzge—-$11,000.They want more money.The directors of the States- ville -Buffalo Shoals Bridge Compa- ny accepted the offer for that bridge —-$13.500.The owners of the Mocres- ville bridge will probably accept the offer,however,if they can’t get,a raise,which seems improbable. The trouble in Catawba is that a campaign is on and the Revublicans, in charge of the county,fear the po- litical -effeet -of—the-bridge—transae- tion.This doubtless has something to do with the hesitation there.If the whole matter goes over to wait for a special act of the Legislature,more doubt is involved.New boards of commissioners may be elected in Ca- tawba and Iredell this fall and how new men would view the bridge mat- ter,and how the local representatives in the Legislature would view it,is all to be determined.Meontime the Southern Power Co.'s offer to give $5.000 to the Island Ford or Lookout bridge,was limited as to time.And so,unless the Catawba folks decide to ro ahead now with the bridges,which Iredell is willing and ready to do,the matter of free county bridges across the stream that divides the two coun- ties.is very much in the future and much in doubt as well. Death of Mr.Shoaf—Was Flag- man in Bostian Bridge Wreck. Mr—~G.—L._Shoaf died Wednesday night at 9.45 o’clock at hix-heme— Salisbury,aged about 48 years.He is survived by a wife and one daugh- ter:i Mr.Shoaf was a flagman between Salisbury and Asheville far many years.He was flagman on the pas- senger train that was wrecked on Bostian bridge August 27,1891,and suffered slight cuts and bruises.He was also in the New Market,Tenn., wreek ten or twelve vears-afroand.it is thought that his injuries in these two wrecks caused the illness that resulted in his death. Mr.Shoaf was buried Conover yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock, Yesterday morning his mother-in-law, Mrs.Peter Smith,who died there the day before,was also buried at Cono- ver.Mr.and Mrs.J.F.Lentz,rela- tives of Mr.Shoaf and Mrs.Smith, were there,for the funeral.

McLemore Resolution Voted Down By Big Majoritv-—The Debate Protracted—and__Good Humored. By a vote of 276 to 142,the House of Congress Tuesday tabled the Mc- Lemore {resolution warning ‘Ameri- cans not to take paSsage on.ships of belligerents:The ~reselution printed in the last issue of The Land- mark,All the North Carolina.members voted to table the resolution..Some of the North Carolinians,however;were not satisfied with the way the matter was presented.Congressman Kitchin endeavored to get.the rules commit- tee to present ‘the following: “Resolved,that it is the sense ofthe-House-thatno-citizen,of the Unit-ed States should take passage on~an armed vessel’of any belligerent ‘na- tion.”y This resolution,Mr.Kitchin -said, was favored by Page,Webb,Dough- ton and himself,None.of them,how- ever,favored the McLemore resolu-tion.as Led By Mr.Pou._The debate for the adoption of the rule limiting the debate was opened by Congressman Pou of North Caro- lina,acting chairman of the rules committee,and his eifort was gener- ally complimented,It ‘was a speech of force and ability.. On the first vote,which was a’par- liamentary proposition to prevent opening the McLemore resolution to amendment and unlimited debate,the administration forces carried the day 256 to 160.On that 192 Democrats,63-Republicans-and_one—Progressive} voted to support the administration, Twenty-one Democrats,132 Republi- cans,five Progressives,one Indepen- dent and Representative London,theloneSocialistoftheHouse,voted against it.This was the crucial vote of the fight,the one point on which.adminis- tration leaders were uncertain.With victory in hand they moved on to the next proposition,the adoption ofaspecialruleforfourhours’discus- sion of the McLemore resolution. Again they carried the day,this.time 271 to 138,and then rushed their vic- tory to a_conclusion by tabling the McLemore resolution,276 to 142. Tense and ‘Turbulent. In seven hours of tense,turbulent session,in which the administration opponents charged that the.Presidentwascontendingforadoubtfullegal right and:was shifting the responsi- bility of diplomatic negotiations to Congress,the.Hiouse swayed back and forth in the most sensational congres- sional spectacle of a decade,probably not equalled since the eve of thedeclarationof.war on Spain.~President Wilson,calm and con- fident,heard the early results of the voting in the cabinet room at the White House,with some of the cabi- net grouped about him.He told them he was much gratified with the sup- port of Congress._Freedom For the President.

One of the day’s surprises was the failure of the so-called Bryan influ- ences to develop:any appreciable strength against the resident. The Debate—Stand By the President. Stand by the President and do not embarrass him in his diplomatic ne- gotiations with foreign countries, was the whole burden of the argu- ment of the administration !eaders. They paid little attention to the in- volved legal phases of the situation. ‘It was.enough,they argued,that the President had said the reported atti- tude of Congress as opposed te--his policy was embarrassing him abroad, and_to that they stuck, Tributes were paid to the President by almost every Democratic speaker. “It is charged that the President wants war,”said Mr.Peu.“All the imps of hell never qevised a more infamous charge.No man_since Abraham Lincoln has gone through such a test as the President in the last six months to avotd war.He-has tried to preserve peace..He would not sacrifice a single life to make himself President for his lifetime.” Mr.Flood pleaded that the Presi- dent be supported in his attempts to uphold.international law.“If we yield.to Germany,”he said,“we will have to yield to the allies and thewholefabricofinternationallaw:will crumble,piéée by piece,We cannot yield to Germany,without.admitting thatthe awful crime of .the sinking of ‘the Lusitania was.justified.The only course to pursue is to stand up strongly for international law.‘This | Wad}.

Marion-having-an_—eye to the main chance.Another.thing noticeable is .that the Republicans.do “ot count this district (the eighth),which they usually consider doubtful,in their calculations this year. Friends of Mr...Duncan complain that Mr.Morehead promised to stand with Duncan “to the,last aitch”in the contest against Butler in the Re- publican State convention;but that when—it came to the test,Mr More- head walked to the edge of the ditch, saw Duncan go-in and then about-fac- ed and took‘ithe honors that hud been wrested from Duncan.They teli a “story of a man who found hi*friend in.the ditch and being unable to help| him’out generously offered.to zet.in- tothe ditch with him.Greater loyal- ty could no man show to a friend— being unable to help him he would suffer with him.But that loyalty was not the Morehead brand.**& The Landmark suggested that the ronosed abolition of rotation by Su- Bector Court judges,confining cach judge to his home district.might make the people more carefu!in yse- lecting judges.Major London of the Chatham Record,who is‘a lawyer as well as editor,holds this view.He says: “We heartily approve the’sugges- tion or recommendation to change our present rotation system for the judges of the Superior Court,which system exists only in this State and South Carolina.If every district had to have its own judge all the time the voters of the district might be a lit- tle more careful in electing their judge.As it is now,no judge holds the courts of his own distriet any of- tener than he holds the courts of any other district.and it is not right for the voters of one district to nomi- nate a judge for half the State and inflict upon the other districts a judge who is obnoxious to the people of those districts.Such is the case now. There are now at least two judges, who ‘could not recéive the »omina- tion if they had to be nominated by all the districts in which they are al- lowed to hold court.” *** State Re-Ever since the Republican convention last week numeroits publicans have been denyine. more vehemence that Peter denied his Lord,that Butler domicated the State convention.They say tho I-em- ecrats are trying to make Butler an issue to cover up their own shoricom- ings and meanness;and it is 2!so pain- fully evident that these Republicans who are denying Butler very much fear the effect of his prominence in the State convention. Mr.Butler,according to all--the newspaper reports,which none of the protestants have taken the pains to go on record and deny in detail,was not only a large feature in the con- vention.but he named the rational committeeman and three of the four delegates-at-large to Chicago.Hew- ever,we suppose Butler was simply in agreement with the wishes of the delegates and went along with the procession,keeping—himself—in—front and giving orders.So many of.the _delegates have denied thatdominatedtheconventicnthatthe Greensboro News has concluded thatButlerneverlefthisofficeinWash- ington;that he didn’t know there was a convention,and finally that there “ain’t no sich person”as Marion But- ler.However,we shall probably see before the summer is past and the harvest ended,a person of the name the direction of the Republican cam- paign..

Following is Mr.Lodge’s statement giving the result of his rescafch:. There has been a widely circulated statement that Great Britain during the Russo-Japanese war issued”a warning to her citizens not to.take nassage on belligerent merchantmen. The library reference division of the: Libraty of Congress examined this very thoroughly.They found that the only origin of,the report was in a letter signed by one C.L.Schlens in, the New York Sun,in which he stat- ed that such a warning had been is- sued by the British government. They endeavored to find Mr. Schlens,but his name did not appear in a New York directory,and nothing could be learned.His letter to .the! Sun was printed in the Gaclic-Amer-| ican and also in The Fatherland,but | The Fatherland admitted they -had| been entirely unable to confirm the, statement cither by the State Depart-, ment or from official foreign sources.| It was repeated in The Outlook in an| article by Professor Stowell on Feb-| ruary 23.The reference division of| the library telegraphed Professor | Stowell and asked him what was his! documentary authority.He replied | that he had none;that he had simply taken it from the newspapers. The reference division also exam-| jned the London Gazette,the British| foreign and State papers,the Brit- ish parliamentary papers,internation-| al law treaties,the British cera reports,the Hong Kong Blre Book,| the Hong Kong and Shanghai News and the London Times.The state-) ment was that it was issued by the They could find * nothing about it. On receiving that,I though Iwould see if I could find it directly,and ap-| plied to the British embassy here,and received from.them this memoran-' dum:~a “British Embassy,Washineton. “Some time last August a statement appeared in The Fatherland and other | papers to the effect that II's Majes- ty’s government issued a notification at the beginning of the Russo-Japan- ~—“erder. ese war that no protection would be™ extended to British subjects who took passage on board vessels of either belligerent.: “The embassv inquired of the for-| eigen office whether any such notifica-! tion.had been issued and received| the.reply that the above statement| was not true.The foreign office add-: ed that they never heard that any consular officer issued such a notice,| but that if he did sv,it was cortra-. ry to instructions sent to all such of-| ficers to abstain from giving advice’ to merchants or other persons.” Jn short,there never wa;any such| —_—_—_—_—_—_——__ The flurry about our foreign rela-: tions,which so disturbed the country, all the result of agitators in Congress | wanting to take a hand,is over and | the President is left to hindle the! situation.The flurry was eatircly un- necessary,and was harmful.The vote: —to-sustain the President was proper’ and if he is left alone it is The Land- mark’s opinion that —we will —get through without war.Of course war, is possible.There has not been day since this European conflict be gan that this country was not in dan-) ger of becoming involve;and ir German"\submarines destroy a ship) and-American lives are lost,the is-' sue will again become acute.But th: administration will find a way to’ avoid war ifjthat is possible The ag- itation in Congress was nat without harmfyl results,netwithstanding it has been cleared away for the time, but with the belligerents vealizing that the President has the vacking of Congress they will Le more concilia-| tory than they otherwise wou's have) been. ray It is the belief of the Statesville’Landmark that the Rev.Sam.Small| is doing more harm to the cause of|prohibition than good,and suggests’ that his supporters could well afford to call him in.We judge that he goes after John Barleycorn with gloves off,|and to the extent that he stirs up)sympathy for him.You know’it’s, very easy to do that very thing.If you denounce a person or party-too| strongly you help the cause you are}opposing by stirring up sympathy|for it.—Our Fatherless Ones.*The Landmark|didn’t say Small| was doing more harm than good,but| -St is this paper’s opinion tiwt he isn’t| doing ‘ns much good as hit might it, his style was different. hut his manner and his remarks cre-| ‘went on; |agreement he called attention to about the very things of which they complain. matter was precipitated by agitation in passage of a yarning resolution,Realizing what that would mean,the Presidert asked that no vote be taken.But the talk it was resolution would pass two to The report naturally went abroad that the Pres- ident didn’t have the support of Con- With that idea extant in for- attempt of the negotiations Congress for the said a one. gress. eign capitals,any President to conduct was useless.He could do nothing if it was believed that he was unsup- ported at home.That the President to demand a vot»to settle the matter.It was the only course left him. They also make much of the fact that Secretary Lansing proposed to foreign governments an arreement that all merchant ships be unarmed, and urging the advisability of such an the possibility of a non-combatant or neu- tral being killed on an armed mer- forced chant vessel,where his right to be was of doubtful legality.All of which shows that the administration was trying to clear up the whole trouble by getting all the nations to agree not to arm merchant ships,anc tnai Mr.Lansing believes,as all of us do, that non-combatants and neutrals have no business to take chances on ships that might be attacked.But the other nations of the world did not ac- cept the agreement and there was nething.left but to continue as the existing regulations,which not only allow merchant vessels to arm for de- fence,but concede the right of non- combatants and neutrals to take pas- age thereon.:Because we think these regulations should be chaneed does not mean that we should abandon,or ean afford to abandon,our rights in the premises so long as other nations| hold on to the practices named. We should try to be just a.d fair as we go along. Mr.Page did the right thing ‘if he felt ‘that way about it:The Land mark sincerely regrets his *course His retirement will be a loss to the State and the country;and ‘nr view of his vote in the House Tuesday it would seem that his decision to re- tire was precipitate.It wenld have been better,too,had he left out of his statement some things he put in. The charge that the—country~has ebandoned all semblance of neutrali- ty because our capitalists ‘iave lean- cd money to Great Britain and ow manufacturers sell’munitions of war to the Entente Allies,is rather broad. Of course all this has «its influence with many people,but,the chargethat the sentiment of the whole.country is influenced by-financial cons‘derations is unbecoming.More urbecoming still was the direct intimation that he has information which che people ought to know but which the newspa- pers won't publish.The Uandmart doesn’t believe there is a newspaper in the State that would tury down a statement from Mr.Page.Certain- ly avenues of publicity inaumerable are open to him if he has anything he wants to put before the public. Taking advantage of of-Col.Harris,some of the young men on the Charlotte Observer call \The Landmark “and other skeptics” to “take note that the negro David Evans is alleged to have been locat- ed by bloodhounds near Ayden the other day.One of the dogs was con- fused at times,says a correspondent, by a peculiar kind of ‘dope’used by ;the man with this purpose in °view,| but Trixie was not,to be thwarted by any mere human ingenuity 4nd stay- ed on the trail.”No affidavit accom- panies the statement that Trixie was He dgesn't |next,but it vis afact that any ordi-|not shoot again: ereate sympathy for John Barleycorn./’nary flop-eared rabbit hound sometimes do a turn like considerable disgust fcr Small.|ed.

And when we have conceded the ec seas to the combatants and cot clear| out of the way,some other eoneession will be asked.Having yielded that we will be expected to yicld further. ‘NEWS OF CURRENT EVENTS, {ncidents Gathered From All: Parts of the Country.| President Woodrow Wilson early| Wednesdav called Representative Ed-| ward W.Pou,acting chairman of the} vhore and versonally thanked him for leading his fight agains:the Mc- I.emore resolution in the House Tues- dav.

"NowFOR THE COUNTY FAIR The Plan to Finance It—Success or Failore of the Proposition Will Depend on Prompt Re-| }Sponse. =Ggrrespondence 6f ‘The Landmark:se Last Friday,at a meeting held to discuss plans for a county fair,a committee consisting of F.I’.Meach- am,E.A.Morrison and B.L..Sronce was elected to carry out the wishes of | those present by inaugurating a cam- :LATEST STYLES| Ladies’Shirt %Waists.Prices, 4 50c.,$1.00,$1.50,$2.00 ent at the meetings,that a sum_of stock not less than $5,000 be sold in shares of $10 each and that each stockholder be given one pass to all Yexhibits and have one’vote management of the organization. was further agreed that the first fair ‘should be held upon as safe and eco-| nomical a basis as possible and that no stock should be offered to or any| canvass made among the business men of the towns of the county:un-| til the farmers had shown by their| subscriptions for stock that they were more than superficially interssted in this progressive move.| What the Stock is,For It should be understood that th sum mentioned,$5,000,is not to be; Spent the first year,and then the | same thing be done over again each | succeeding year.This money would be spent in buying grounds outright,| or renting for a term of years,and” erecting buildings that would assure| a creditable fair for future years.The committee recommends that,in the, long run,this is the economical thing to do.Stock in this fair association does not.mean money “donated.”I believe it will ever be worth all that it cost in the beginning. This amount of:st-ck is considered enough to put on a very creditable fair safely,although a greater amount would give whoever has the manage- ment in charge a greater opportunity ta show what our county could do. With the price of stock so !ow there js not a landowner in the county who cannot invest in at least ure share, and in many communities there are several who can take a number of shares without discommoding them- selves greatlv.Even many of the renters could well spare this small| smount and encourage a county ex-| hibit for the encouragement thev would receive in return,for there is nothing that will encouraze people and hasten progress like a competi- tive exhibit. Why the Farmers Fi-st. Perhaps it may look to the average farmer that this committee were get- ting the cart hefore the horse when they say that the farmers wil!be giv- en first opportunity to take stock and | that none will be offered to the busi- ness men until the farmers have shown that they are willing to help ~--finance-the-fair—as-well as to carry, home the vremiums offered there.No| _one should be more interested in get- ting a purely agricultural and indus- trial fair organized than the farmer himself,for he will have a chance to win any premium offered and should| learn more from the competitive ex- hibits than those engaged in other occupations.—.‘ The fair should be as mvch a part of our educational system a3 the pub-| Vic school has become,and ,may some day.Until then its maintenance’will depend upon the public-spirited citi- zens who can see beyond ther fellows| and realize its value or support itthroughabrotherlyloveforv4about them.“It cannot take the vlace of the| school,neither can the school accom-, nlish what the fair was designed to do.Each has its own place but cach should reinforce the efforts of the’ other.

PREPARATION FOR THE Jub. The Expedition Probably Off AfterVilla,But it Took Time to GriReady.; Contrary,doubtless,to the gencr- al expectation of the publi¢,the ex- pedition which is to pursue Villa into Mexico didn’t start the same day or- ders were issued.While a strict ce.i- sorship is maintained as to the move-ment of troops,it is probable that theexpeditiondidn’t get off until yescer- day,if then.' It must be remembered,howsver,that this trip into Mexico is no ho’- iday junket,and it would have bcen foolish to rush troops across the bor- der until full preparation is made.

Politics-Do---Not.Figure,SaysChairmanBrown—Simply ‘iQuestionofLegalAuthority. To the Editor of The Landmark:__Long Island;Maren 11—In-your issue of the 10th,under heading “Bridges in Doubt—Catawba Devel-cps Cool Feet,”you quote from.theNewtonEnterpriserelativetotheproceedingsoftheCatawba-countycommissioners-at their meeting onMonday«last,and in’your commentssay:\'The trouble is.that.....cam-paign is on and the’Republicans ‘in charge of the county fear the politi-esl effect of the bridge tranaction.”In justice ‘to myself and the other members of the board,I will say em- phatically thatthe political situation has nothing to do with the |bridge transaction,‘nor with the action of whe commissioners of catawba county,butwillsaythattheRepublicansorDem- ocrats,when in charge of the affairsofCatawbacounty,would have rez-son to fear the people should they make,or attempt to male,an expen- diture of the public money not author- ized by law.Our county,attorney,acting under the regolution of the joint meeting of the two beardg,ex-amined the law on the subject ‘and ad- vised our board that in his opinion wedidnothave~the legal right to make contracts nor appropriate.money for the building of a bridge at Island lord;nor for the purpose of:buying the two bridges already built,with-out a special act of the Legislature authorizing such expenditure,The action of the joint ‘meeting was thenratifiedandthematterpostponedforconsiderationat‘our next regular meeting.Iredell county has taken the leading part in the bridge matter,and their attorney advised the commis- sioners of Iredell that they had the legal right;but they did nothingmorethantoratifytneactionofthe joint boards in the same manner as was done by the commissioners of Ca- tawba county,and from their failure to go further,there rust be a cam- paign on in Iredell county and some-body there must have developed cold feet on the proposition,or some oth- er good reason exists.I.will-say-fur-ther,on behalf’of the commissioners of Catawba county,that in ratifying the action of the joint meeting,they are committed to.the proposition of building a-bridge at Island Ford and to the purchasing of the.other two bridges already built,and while.the burden on the taxpayers will be heavy, they will not fail .to.discharge their official duty nor other obligation rest- ing’upon them by reason of their de- eision that free bridges are a public necessity—contribute Catawba coun- ty’s share necessary to build the one bridge and purchase the other two,whenever it is made clear to them that they have the legal right to do so,or are empowered by a special act of the Legislature,even “though the subscription made bythe SouthernPowerCompanybewithdrawn,as it is intimated it will be,if the matter is delayed. The joint meeting,In their order, after reciting the necessity for freebridgesatthreeplacesontheCataw- ba river,contains the following: “That the ford of the river at Island Ford has become dangerous as a pub-lic crossing,”It is understood by the people of our county,that the cross- ing of the river.at Island Ford be-came dangerousby reason of the erec- tion of the power plant of the South- ern.Power Company at that point,ard_that the Southern Power Compa- ny is liable for damages for the ob- struction of the public highway and destruction of the ford,and that their subscription toward the building of-a bridge at Island Ford does not equal and will not compensate the public for damages they have sustained by rea- son of the obstructing of the high- way and destruction of the ford.Therefore—their—subseription—should not be treated as a gift but as an ef- fort on their part to discharge a lin- bility.It is believed by many of the citizens of Catawba county,that the bridge at Island Fora and the buying of the other two bridges,and the con- sequent expense upon the taxpayers, came about by the destruction of the ford for crossing the river at IslandFordbytheSouthernPowerCompa- ny,thus making the bridges a public necessity. As to the law,allow me to quote inpartthefoundationuponwhichtheattorneyforour¢ounty based his opinion that,the commissioners ofCatawbacountydidnothavetherighttomakeanexpenditureofover$500 for joint bridges:See section 2696,chapter 65,of The Revisal.I also quote from the Public Local Laws of 1915,chapter 115,as follows:“An Act to provide for the building of a bridge over the Toe river,which is thelinebetweenYanceyandMitchell counties.”“The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:Section 1:That section 2696 of The Revisal of 1905 be,and thé same is hereby,| amended by striking out the word ‘hundred’in line 11 and inserting in lieu thereof the word ‘thousand.’Sce+ tion 2:.This act shall apply only tothecountiesofYanceyand:Mitchell.Ratified 12th day February,1915.” This act authorized the expenditure of $5,000 instead of $500 authorized by -the.general law,.The Senator and member of the House represent- ing Catawba county believed that such an act was necessary,end s6 did a ma- jority of the members of the Legisla~ ture.Iredell county was ably repre- sented by two distinguished lawyers.I have not heard what position they took in the passage of the act referred to,but presume that 'they did not~con- sent to the passage of ‘any unnecessa- Only Artillery:at Verdun—Ger- man Claims. ~~Exeept..for artillerysone action the ally has ceased for’the:-moment.1'othenorthandeastofthefortresstherehave-been-no-jnfantry engage-ments since Saturday afternoon,when the Germans succeeded in entering’a Ha French trench to the north ofvix.

Corporation Commissioners Will Visit:Lookout. The Landmark had almost forgot- ten that the question of apportioning the taxes levied on the Southern Pow- er Company’s improvement at Look- out Shoals was still pending.before the corporation commission.The company’s big dam on the Ca- tawba river runs from Iredell to Ca- tawba and these counties cannot agree as to how the assessment ofthepropertyshouldbesplit.Alex- ander comes into the dispute,alleg- ing that the dam backs water over considerable Alexander territory and that Alexander is entitled to part ofthemoneythatthecompanymust pay.The company is ready to pay the taxes assessed as;soon as.it is.offi- cially determined how the amount istobeapportioned. The corporation commissioners have been unable to decide the matter and to get further light on the dispute they have decided-to visit the Lookout Shoals development on Tuesday,the 28th.Two members of:the commis- sion,or possibly all three,aeccompa- nied by Clerk Maxwell of the com- mission,will make the trip.

Intion tests.Some beds of “hale that are several feet thick will yield more than a barrel of oil to the ton of shale.and one bed 6 inches thick will yield more than two barvels of crude oil to the ton of shale.One ton of this shale should therefore yield nearly 10 gallons of gasoline b;the present commercial methods of gaso- line extraction,and larger yields ray be made possible by new methods. “Little attention has been paid to, this shale because the quantity of pe- {roleum produced from weils in the United States has been sufficie t to satisfy all demands,but for more than 50 years the oi]shale industry ci Seotland has been a very impor- tant one.In a recent year more than $.000 men were employed in the in- dustry in that country,yet the aver- age yield of oil per ton of shale was’ much less.than that which appeirspossiblefromtheshaleofColorado and Utah.It is estimated that om Colorado alone there is sufficient a z tshale,in beds 3 feet or more thiek ; Stout was at work loading sand at and richer than the shale being min- ed in Scotland,to yield twenty hil- ‘lion_barrels of crude oil,from waich int least two billion barrels of g..50- line_may be extracted by ordinary re- fining processes.”|Of course some pessimist will sug- ieest that the 50-cent gasoline will ve there before anybody can get busy /eonverting shale into gasoline,buc the |shale gives ground for hope: high price of gasoline js the sole cause for hesitation in ae the wu- to.the word put out by the Geolos1-~ eal Survey should -remove that stacle.That’s what the auto sales man will tell,you.pee \Mr.Speaks Dead—Mr,Prive’Moves to Greensboro, eh- |Correspondence of The Uandmark.| New Hope,R-1,:March.10 —Daa colds and grip is prevalent with ws.

Fershing.Gen.Pershing has gone into Mex- ico with orders to overtake and wipe out Villa and his organization.U»- less orders to the contrary are ve- ceived from those higher in,authori- ty than Gen.Funsion,the campaie1 begun will continue until Villa —is captur2d or killed.No limits haveheenplacedonthefieldofoperations. After the campaign is well under way, it Was pouited out,circumstances may cause rescrictions,put just now th: troops are prepared to go anywhere to carry out the President’s order‘. There are now available in the d:- partment of the southwest more thon 2,000 troops and plans for recruit- ing the companies to full strength are expected to increase the numlter quickly.Cavalry posts have been r+- heved by infantry in most cases in order to furnish a more mobile forceforthepursaitofVilla,although in ‘the expedition that went into Mex:co there is-a considerable force of artil- lery which can be reinforced at any time by several more batteries now held on the American side within easy distance of the border. If the exact whereabouts of Villa is known at army headquarters the fact has not been disclosed.Generally it ‘ig believed he has moved southwa™! toward the Guerrero district in the ..foothills of the Sierra Madres,_but reports from.Mexican sources indi cate that the de facto governnient troops will do their best to turm hia northward,towards the advancirg American columns.Bands said to be affiliated with Villa in otherparts of rorthern Mexico have not indiceted their intentions,but brisk activitv 0a their part will not surprise Americui army officers.It is anticipated that in chasing Villa these bands will ha-e +c¢be met trom time to-time and en- gaged.The one important fact that the Americans “ad gone into Mexico again was an event witnessed by hur - dieds of spectators who crowded into Columbus.They saw the troops move off toward the boundary line until when the men crossed they were tiny,but-—distinct,brown lines inthe distance in the clear Western -air.—s the troops passed farther into the low gravel:hills,clouds of white dust hid the men and their further movements as effectually as the censorship.UVe- hind the troops whe moved forward, new regiments rapidly filled the va: cated camps in Columbus.|The Eh-- enth Cavalry of Fort Oglethorpe,Ga, was one of the new arrivals.

SLAUGHTER AT VERDUN Heroic Charges ‘By Germen Troops Who Melted Away be- fore French Guns. A dispitch from Paris ‘says the Gexyman losses in the fighting around Fort de Vaux Friday and Saturday surpassed all”previous records in this war,according to officers wo have returned from Verdun.Time and time again and with extraordins y courage,the Germans in columns four deep rushed from their trenches,on]; to ‘melt away under the fire of the French 75,150 and 210 milimetre euns,which rained shells with deadivy accuracy into the marching compa- nics.When the smoke and dust clear-ed nothing was to be seen but heansofbodies.: The spur on which the fort is sit'- oted is almost pernvendicular in cei ‘nin places.The German lines were forced to halt,but many Bavarian re- servists climbed up on one another's shoulders and struggled up the slup>, clinging to angles of rock and grasp- sing -tufts-of-grass.-Again-and-aren:hese human pyramids collapsed into ‘hapeless gray masses.In the places where the incline was easier and tne attacks,therefore,more concentrat- ed,the ditches below ran red wica hlood.At the lowest estimate the at- tackers lost two-thirds of their cf- fectives. The fighting was also desperate im the-extreme when regiments from_<10 Tifteenth and Eighteenth German ar- my corns attacked the village of Vau: on-Friday.Dawn was just breaking and a heavy white mist hung over the country,making everything invisible heyond a hundred yards.This enabied the Germans to get within rushires distance -of the Frenchfront ‘trencn-cs,but,although they outnuthbered tne defenders six to one,it took four distinct assaults before the first.coi- umn of Germans won the shelter of »small group of houses beyond tac church of Vaux.They then organized an ‘assault upon the church and tho French,being unable to bring up rem- forcements:on account of the German curtain of fire,~withdrew~their ad= vanced elements,which were in dan cer of beine surrounded. Five times the Nevth Prussian reg iments rushed to attack the church, hut every time they left the shelter en back by the fire ,from machine vuns and the shrapnel from.the Brenech 58-millimeter mountain guns. In the meantime in their rear a cu"- tain of fire was kept up by the French chs and 210s,so thar it was imvos- sible for munitions and reinforce- ments to be brought up for their ben- -fit,and the fight died down on Fri= day night for sheer exhaustion.

Little Information About’De- tails,But the Americans Are on the Job and So Far With- out Mishap. After marching more.than——110milesintoMexico,in 42 hours,theAmericanpunitiveexpedition,accord- ing to wireless:dispatches,received information apparently locating Villatheobject:of their chase.-Dispositionofthetroops.was begun for the taskofhuntingtheoutlaw,who was re-ported to be continumg his outragesonAmericans.' The name of the prace reached by the expedition was not made public, but the Americans were informed,itis.said,that Villa had ,passed:thereonlyafewdaysbefore.The latest information of Villa’s present where-abouts placed him on the ranch of Candelario Hernandez,one of the sub-chiefs with him on the raid againstColumbus.Gen.John J.Pershing personally led the flying cavalry column in the 110-mile dash.Every man in his com- mand was mounted.They pressed through a section of Mexico where wa- ter was scarce.For such a large body of men the speed maintained was re- markable and the good condition inwhichtheycamethroughwasinspir-ing. Only a few cavalry horses and‘pack mules were lost,the victims ofahardriddentrail.The men reached the camp thirsty and nungry but oth-erwise in good condition,fit for ac- tion and eager for the.pursuit of Villa to begin in earnest.Here they were met with reports that Villa had raid- éd the American colonies in the vi- cinity of his mountuin retreats andthathehadkilledresidentsofthese colonies. The expedition is°beyond Casas Grandes.it is said,xne from Colum- bus,N.M.,to that point supplies will be moved by automobite*trucks~and wagons,and,if permission is secured,that meansof ‘transpertation will be supplemented by“shipments over the Mexican Northwestern Railway from El Paso.Permission to use the rail- road had not been secured at last ac- count.. Villa has reached Babicora,near the lake of that name in the Guerre- ro region,after having abandoned 30 of his wounded at El Valle,according to a telegram received at Jaurez, Mexico.by Gen.Gavira of the Car- ranza forces.Villa fled to avoid con- tact with Carranza troops,it is said.It iselaimed that Villa has been driv-en into a net and th:.¢his capture de- nds:on the ability ‘of the Carranzagarrisonstoholdtheirendofthenet. Army officers evince only the mild- est enthusiasm ever the prospect of capturing Villa if he refrains from coming out and meeting the punitive forces.That he may do that is re- garded as not altogether improbable. With him is a foree believed to not exceed 400-men.but--it-is known.that he has scattered through northern Mexico bands that aggregate more than 4,000.It is believea possible that he may end his efforts at forcing a game of hide and seek by getting to- gether his forces and attempting the harassment of the divided pursuing forces.ae So far there has been-no report of any attack on the American’soldiers.

If Herrera and his troops have joined Villa,some officials believeother’..Carranza commanders and troops may quickl¥follow the exam- ple.In such an event the United States and.the de facto government of Mexico would’.find themselves ¢on- fronted with a situation so serious that its possibilities hardly could be estimated.; A dispatch from El Paso,Texas,says that on the border,at least,it isfirmlybelievedthatthe~*soldiers ofthefirstchiefarefarfromgivingany real co-operation to the American ‘ex-peditionary force.It is admittedthatGeneralCarranzaandsomeofhislieutenantsaresincerelyanxioustoavoidfrictionwiththeUnited States,but it is not believed that the head of the de facto government rep- resents the attitude or sentiment of -his:army.or.fellow-citizens.: From several different sources acircumstantialreportwasreceivedthatthegarrisonatChihuahua,sup- posed to number 2,000 men,had re-volted and that their commander, General Luis Herrera,had_declaredinfavorofVilla.Andreas Garcia,the Carranzo consul at El Paso,branded this report as false but in official cir- cles it was accented as at least pos-sible,in view of the fact that more than half of the Mexican’troops atChihuahuawereformerVillafollow- ers.Communication with the Americanexpeditionisuncertain,even by wire-less,and the problem of transnorting:supplies and «maintaining a line of communication is growing more dif-ficult.Permission to use the Mexican railroads to forward supplies had notbeen--granted at lastaccount...TheCarranzagovernmentproposedapro- tocol,under which a_general agree- ‘ment would be entered inte to coverallquestionsoftheoperationsof American troops in Mexico.While .,our government agreed to this and the protocol has been drafted,it hasnotbeenofficiallyproclaimed. Many rumors come to the border and reach the newspapers,and due allowance must be made for all re-ports other than official. The majority of the Mexican news- napers received at El Paso have coun- seled their readers to remain calm and have refrained from criticism of the United States for sending Amer- ican troops into Mexico,but one of the exceptions was El Democrata, published in Chihuahua.The paper attacked Villa for attacking Colum- bus,but said “the Yankees”could not sider:his assault.on Columbus,N.M.,“="qs ancofense-of ore nation:agamst: another,and the passage of American troops over the boundary line should be taken as an act of violence,or if preferred,“an act of Wilson nervous- ness.” Two lieutenants of thé First Aero Squadron were reported lost some- where in the desert foothills of the Sierra Madre.One of-them,Aviator Willis,has since been reported safe but Aviator Gorrell was unaccounted for at.last report.

General Funston Tuesday asked the War Department for more troops to be sent into Mexico in pursuit ofFranciscoVilla..The request was made at the suggestion of General Pershing,commander of the expedi- tion,who urged that another regiment be sent to him.In his message to the War Department General Funston asked for what he termed an “ade- quate force.”=It was announced at General Fun-ston’s headquarters that the FifthCavalry;of which one squadron is atFortMyer,Va.,another,at Fort Leav- enworth,Kan.,and the third at FortSheridan,Wyo.,would be brought totheborderatonceandsentforward‘along General Pershing’s,line of com-munication to Casas Grandes.The only reason given for strength-ening General -Pershing’s force,known to be considerably more than4,000,was that his field of operationshadbecome80extendedthathismainlineofcommunicationandthesubsid- iary lines »were in need of strength- ore.voffMerely a -precautionary move,” DAMAGE FROM WINDSTORM Buildings Damaged in Alexan- der and Two Persons Slightly Hurt—Mason Released.

The loss is.estimated at $1,500,000.

KILLED FOUR CHILDREN. Deed of a Madman at’Greens- boro—D.G.Patterson.Killed His Four Children and Com mitted Suicide—Out of Work and Depressed.' Shortly before.4 o'clock Tuesday morning,Dana Gordon Patterson of Greensboro entered the bedrooms of his four children and shot each of them through the head.He then committed «suicide. The Greensoro News’issued a spe- cial edition Tuesday morning,tellingthe;horrible story.Patterson was twicemarriedandboth’his’wives—themotherofthechildren,who is dead,and the second wife,who survives— were daughters of Mrs.Teague,sis- ter of the late Col.Henry C.CowlesofStatesville.Both Mr,and Mrs.Teague are dead,the latter dying some time before the death of Col. Cowles.Mrs.Patterson,says the News,was awakened by the first two shots.She found her husband had left his place by her side and she arose from the bed and entered the hall on the groundflooroftheresidence..Near the footofthestairs,descending,was Patter- son with the revolver in.his hands. He was fumbling it and seeking to reload its chambers.His wife asked him what was the matter,and his an-swer was “the little ones are all gone.Don’t make any noise or the neighborswillbein.”He placed his hand up- on her shoulder and again she appeal- »d to him not to do anything:rash, still unawave of the children’s death. He_continued fumbling.the ‘revolver and she opened the door and ran..to a neighbor’s house,As she stepped away from the door she heard a shot. ie was that .which ended Patterson’s ie,~ The dead are the father;Louise, aged 16;Gordon,aged 11;Frances, aged 9;and Cowles,aged 7.«Patter- son had evidently found Louise and Cowles asleep together in the frontroomupstairsandtheydiedwithout being awakened.The burned fleshshowedthattherevolverhadbeenpressedclosetothetempleofthegirlandthesideoftheboy’s head when the trigger was pulled.The scene in the rear room where sleptGordonandFrancesshowedthat.the boy must have aroused himself and offered some feeble resistance,*ac-cording to the opinion of thegecrmer,for the first shot under the cye had been followed by abullet,into.the head just.atthe roots of.the’hair inthe child’s forehead.He was partly dress- 2d,having on his trousers,stockings, garters and tie,and the officers be- lieve that he had been sleeping so at-tired,although the first theory wasthathehadattempteddressingwhen he heard the shots in the front room. The wound of Frances was com- vletely through the head behind the eyes,just missing the lower part«ofthebrain.She lived about an hour. Gordon,wounded twice,lived until 9 o’clock in the morning,although with- out any semblance of consciousness. The coroner decided that no inquestwasnecessary. When the officers arrived they found Patterson-dead.His death was evi-dently instantaneous.The sight whicn confronted the first on the scene inthebed-chambers,added to the groansofthedyingchildren,proved toomuch.for—several—_spectators.__One voung man fainted at the view.Later in the day the bodies were preparedforburialand:Tuesday-afternoon-they were sent to Liberty,Randolph coun- ty,the old home of Mr.and Mrs.Pat- terson,for burial.The mother of the children was buried there.Temporary insanity,caused by de- pression on account of being out ofworkandfailureinbusiness,is the only theory for the deed.PattersonhadbeenemployedbytheSouthernRailwayCompanyforanumber|of years,becoming yardmaster and mak- ing a good salary,before his connec-tions with the comp:.ny were severed. Different explanations are offered forthelossofhisjob,Recently he took“his~savings”and™“went to Hopewell, Va,,..where..he.engaged in_abusinesswhichfailéd:”He returned to G¥éens-boro and his wife thought he had beenworkingagainfortherailroad,butitseemedthathehadnot.Being out ‘of work,with a dependént wife andchildren,preyed on his mind. Mrs.Patterson told many little,sto- ries of the kindness of her husband toward his family.Before they retir-ed Monday night he went over the lessons with the children and seemed cheerful.She reminded him that Tuesday his insurance premium would be due and spoke of her pleasure in the fact that the railroad check forhisserviceswasalsopayableatthis time.. Patterson left a will which is said to have referred to his intentions and to have made request that the “bod- ies be not exposed to public view.” This document was taken in charge byrelativesandwasnot.made public, Mr.R.O.Alexander to Lecture at Broad Street. Some weeks ago Mr.J.IF.AndersonofStatesvillemetMr.R.0.Alexans der of Charlotte,and in the conversa-tion it developed that Mr.Alexanderhadpreparedalectureon“The Blble and Preparedness.”As bothgentlemenareenthusiasticBible stu-dents,it logically followed that Mr,‘Ainderson soon had Mr.Alexander‘s promise to-deliver that lecture injStatesville,He is to be at Broad Street "church next Sunday.night,.at7.30 o’clock.Mr.Alexander is a veryoriginalaswellasan_interestingtalker,and he will doubtless be heard by’a large audience,©. these], — Judge’s Charge Unfair—Can’t Collect.For Liquor. In the ease of the Blue Ridge In- terurban Co,,vs.Hendersonville Light &Power Co.,in which the defendant received a verdict for $10,000 damages for water power taken by the plaintiff under condemnation proceedings,theSupremeCourthasgrantedthepe-tition to rehear the case and finds noerrorinthe.ruling of the lower court.It-finds nothing inthe record to sus- tain the contention of the ‘defendant that the plaintiff is a trust,or partofone,nor that it is controlled by the Dukes or.the Southern Power Compa-ny. In Starling vs.Selma Cotton Mills, where the plaintiff sued for wrongful death of a child,the Supreme Court grants a new trial because the charge of the trial judge,W.M.Bond,was not fair to the plaintiff but was clear- ly biased toward the defendant. The;court upholds the verdict of the lower court in Pfeifer vs:LoveDrugCompany,.an action to collect from the drug store for whiskey sold to the drug store.{\The jury found that the plaintiff knew that the liq- uor was to be sold contrary to law and the court instructed the jury to find that there was no indebtedness. Mr.CampbellSeriously Hurt. Mr.C.S.Campbell,who lives in the Bloomfield section and who does odd turns about the Paola Cotton Mills, was seriously,if not fatally,injured Wednesday afternoon., Mr.Campbell went into the work-shop to grind his axe.Later he was found on the floor'in an unconscious condition and badly bruised about the body,but no bones broken,Dr. E.-M.Yount was called and exam- ined him but could not determine at the time how serious his injuries:were. Yesterday“there was evidence of--se- rious internal injuries,but just how serious is not known. It would appear that while grind-~g his axe on the emery wheel Mr. Campbell was caught in the belt andwhirledaroundwithconsiderable force.His body was probably thrownagainstatableandwas__prevented from being carried over the shafting by the belt breaking.

The Landmark is printing today a summary of the State primary:law. As this law is effective in North Car- provisions are of general |interest; and as it applies to all officers to be voted for in Iredell,its provisions are of.special interest in this county. It is probable that the law contains some things the general pudlic did not anticipate;and there may be more or less complaint about some of its provisions,but if the folks will give it a fair trial they will probably be+ come ‘better pleased with it as they arrive at a better understanding. The main advantage of the prima- ry is that by it the people are per- mitted,by ballot,to select the “tan- Yidates for office.This primary elec- tion for the selection of candidates is governed by the same laws and legal restriction as the general election; and the vote of the people in the se- lection ‘of ‘candidates is final...There are.no conventions to manipulate and trade.

A dispatch from San Antonio,Tex-as,ufider date of Sunday,says:_“Francisco Villa has escaped fromtheMexicantroopsthathadchecked him near Namiquipa and three col- umns of American cavalry’are pur-suing him..“Already they are almost 250 milessouthoftheborderand:unless Mex- ican forces bring the elusive bandittoastand,this distance will begreatlyincreased‘by the close of theweek.3“Villa’s success in extricating him-self from the dangerous’position intowhich-he.had been”driven by theAmericanpunitiveforcewasrelatedinadetailedreportbyGeneralPer-shing that reached General Funston here today.”Tho dispatch continues:—ColonelDodd-is commanding the advancedcolumnsthat.are riding hard afterVillaandhismen.and General Per-shing has divided his forces so as to provide supporting columns along thethinlystretchedlinesofcommunica- tion from his most advanced base.atElValle.From El Valle another line is being maintained back to Casas Grandes,from.where communication with the border is maintained.Gen- eral Pershing himseif is somewheresouthofCasasGrandesdirectingthe work of holding together his forees and directing so far as possible the operations of Colonel Dodd.Cavalry is being used along the lines.commu- nicating with El]Val:e where a de- tachment of infantry is stationed,Three aeroplanes »-e at El Valle and will be used in scouting as soon as the high winds-that have been sweeping that part of Mexico for al-most a week subside..These winds, according to.General Pershing,have made effective assistance by the aero- planes impossible.Of the eight ma- chines that went into Mexico two are still out of commission.They weredamagedintheflightsfromColum- bus to Casas Grandes.Details of the operations aboutNamiquipathatconcludedwiththe escape of Villa were not revealed, but there is little reason to believe that he was badly whipped or even weakened by the fighting directed against him by the de facto govern- ment troops., A dispatch from Mexican sourcessays.Gen.Pedro Gozman and 22 oth- ers,all members of a Villa...band,were killed in battle Sunday in the neighborhood of Laguna and Dinami- ta.In this action between govern- ment forces and.bandits,10 prisoners also were taken and summarily exe- cuted. A speedy termination of the Amer- ican expedition into Mexico is not looked for by General Pershing,com- mander of theesérces m the field,ac- cording to disphtches from Columbus, N..M._It is asserted chat following a staff conference General Pershing an- nounced that the people of the United States should not place too much con-fidence in reports that FranciscoVillahadbéenbottledupeitherbyAmericanforcesorbyMexicantroops.The nature of the country,it waspointedout,renders it difficult for any force to surround.effectually a small band .in the mountain passes with al- most impassable trails offering a means of escape. General Carranza’s latest communi- cation regarding the proposed proto- col covering the-use of Mexican rail- roads to supply American troops has not reached Washington.Unofficial advices from Carranza’s headquartershavesaidthatwhileheapprovedthe general outline of the agreement worked out,there were some detailsthatneededclarification. A few days ago a report was sent out from Columbus,N.M.,that Mex- ican brigands had raided the border eight miles from that place and killed three Americans.Investigation dis- closed that the report was unfounded, THOMAS J.PENCE DEAD. Popular Newspaper.Man.and Secretary of the Democratic National Committee. Thos.J.Pence,secretary of the Democratic national committee,who had been ill for several months as a result of pneumonia,died at his home in Washington yesterday.He was for- ‘erly Washington correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer. Mr.Pence probably had as exten- sive acquaintance among Democratic politicians throughout the country as any man who ever occupied an offi- cial position with the national com- mittee.He was one of the “originalWilsonmen.”and after the last elec- tion was offered several important government posts.He declined them all,however,and became assistant tothechairmanofthenationalcommit- tee in charge of permanént headquar-ters in Washington.At the meeting of the national committee last Decem-ber Mr.Pence was chosen its secre- tary. Mr.Pence was the friend of Presi-dent Wilson and was the daily com-panion of his secretary,J.P.Tumul- ty,and of several projninent admin- istration Senators..President Wilson was deeply shock.ed when he was told of Mr.Pence’s death and expressed deep regret.With Postmaster General Burleson and Secretary Tumulty,Mr.Pence has directed all of the detailed po-litical work of the administration sincethePresidenttookoffice.Mr.Pence was 43 years old and a;drawer and a pistol and some car-native of Raleigh,N.G..He was altridges.The -pistol belonged to Pe-graduate of Wake Forest College andwas\unmarried.| NINETY YEARS IN PRISON. Graham County Man:Got ThatSentenceForThreeMurders. Ed.Williams,charged with killingthreemembersof.the family of hisfather-in-law,Phillip Phillips,in Gra- ham county,was convicted of second degree murder before Judge Long,inGrahamcountySuperiorCourt.lastweek,and given sentences aggregat- ing 90 years in the State prison. Thirty years were imposed at hardlaborwhiletheother60.years stipu- late no conditions.Williams,who ‘is 38 years,old,was immediately takentotheStateprison,no “appeal being entéred. The Asheville Citizen says Wil- liams was an alleged inveterate mak- er of illicit whiskey,operating in the Big Smoky mountains,in the Nanta- hala district.His wife,the daughter of Phillips,a respectable farmer,lefthim-and went*to her father’s home. Williams’illegal activities were laterreportedtotheUnitedStatesauthor- ities,-Suspecting that members of his wife’s family were the informers, Williams called at the house on the af- ternoon of May 1 last and shot down his wife,her mother,brother and sis- ter.The latter three were killed buthiswiferecoveredonlytodielater, ofa broken heart,it is said. Williams escaped and his father- in-law devoted every effort to secure his capture.The police all over the country were furnished with pictures of VWdilliams. The.next chapter in the tragedy occurred on August 24 last,when Phillips was shot from ambush and died a few hours later.Suspicion fell on Williams,but .Phillips,in his dying statement,named two others as the assassins.Hardy Wiggins Coot Miller,said to be partners of Williams,were arrested -for the mur- der of Phillips and were convicted of first degree murder.They are now in jail in Asheville,pending an appeal to the Supreme Court. Later Williams was arrested.His conviction was for second degree murder in three cascs and he was given the limit of the law in each case—90 years.Williams having es- caped the death penalty,which he ev-idently richly deserved,the logical result will be to spare the lives of the two men convicted of the murder of Phillips. Interest in the Fair. There was a very satisfactory at-tendance at:the mass.meeting held atthecourthouseSaturdayafternoon‘in the interest.of the Iredell County Fair Association.The meeting |wascalledtoorderat1.30 o’clock by Tem- porary Chairman E.A.Morrison andMr.W.C.Wooten asked to ‘preside. Mr.I.N.Paine acted as secretary. Eleven townships of the county were represented at the méeting and after Mr.E.S.Millsaps had explain- ed the purpose of the gathering and the undertaking,the meeting heard expressions generallly from those present.Business men and farmers spoke in favor of the fair and after the meeting a number of shares were voluntarily subscribed. The matter is now in the hands of the committee to work out detailed ‘lans.The general idea seems to be to employ one solicitor to canvas the county for subscription to stock.It is expected to raise 500 shares at $10 the share. The committee has since employed Mr.I.N.Paine to canvass for sub- scriptions to the stock of the fair,a Caldwell Portrait to Be Present- in Raleigh Today.

All of which is true,but his honor shouldn't be too hard on the jurors. They probably reasoned that,as the man had been once convicted and not punished ‘it wasn’t worth while to go through the form of convicting him again;or possibly tney concluded that as the courts so often let those convicted:go practically unpunished, or a pardon or a commutation is se= cured from the Governor,that.the jurors might as well let them go in the first instance and save time and trouble.Anyway wo s‘ouldn’t be too hard on the jurors wao acquit even THE PRESIDENT WARNS.

The Landmark is beholden to the Winston Journal for a complimenta- ry referente to.this paper,but the -Journal-is-wrong--in-leaving-the—im- pression that The Landmark approved Gov.Craig's action {n the Warren- Christy case.‘This paper didn’t crit- icise the Governor,and it said,as the Journal quotes,that had it been in the ‘Governor’s case it might have done as he did.But the first part of that same sentence was this.“Thé Landmark does not believe it wise to ~nitow~sentiment;to—prevail—in-—such cases.”The Landmark had only the gveek before clearly and emphatically expressed its opposition to the com- mutation,and did not think it neces- sary to further enlarge on the sub- ject.It is clearly of the opinion that Gov.Craig made a mistake,but his is the responsibility and The Land- mark isn’t going to quarrel with the Governor or others who see it as he does.

While the physical condition of the Mexican.railroad is -not good,many bridges having been destroyed during the years of revolution,army engin- eers should have little difficulty in keeping it open. Medical.officers are inclined to dis- credit reports of extensive sickness among the troops at the front.The re- gion in which they are operating is de- scribed as healthful and the men are thoroughly acclimated,General Fun- ston has not asked for any extension of his base hospital facilities.Plans for additional wards for the hospital at Fort Bliss have been prepered for some time but the work has not been authorized.Secretary of War Baker issued the following:: “We have directed General Funston to tender for railroad shipment car- goes of supplies,either directly to our military men or to civilians in Mexico. This does not involve any tender of munitions for such railroad transpor- tation,nor does it involve the use o American.military guards on any Mex-ican.trains.” Limitations imposed by Gen,Car- ranza,confining shipments of goods sent to concerns in'Mexico who havecontractswiththeexpeditionaryforce, caused some disappointment amongarmyofficers.It was feared that theserestrictionsandtheabsenceofmili- tary guards on the trains might se- riously hamper the transmission of an adequate stream of supplies.

Germany Asked if It is Respon- sible.

The United States has no conclusive proof that a submarine attacked eith- er ship,but all evidence at hand in- dicates both were torpedoed without warning.—Upon-the-response—of the’ Berlin foreign office to Mr.Gerard’s' inquiry may depend the next step of the American government.It was: made clear that no action has been taken which might be construed as a demand or a protest.
