Haynes is sure that some of the de- ‘haters “no more understood what they were saying than a parrot un- derstands the charms of Shakes- peare.”.That is..to.say,they memo- rized and glibly spoke what had been prepared for them.The Landmark regrets that this suspicion has been ‘aroused:and Supt.Haynes scems_to think it is well founded.Of course the debaters are at liberty to get in- formation frem all sources possible, ut they are expected to put it’to- gether in their own way.“Saying spceches”prepared by others de- atroys the purpose of the debate and it is surprising that the teachers,who ought to detect this fraud in the first instance,would allow it to pass,or that they would in any way be par- tics to the deception,as Mr.Haynes intimates. We/hepe Mr.Haynes is mistaken, but whether he is or not,the sus- picion-having been voiced the useful-| ress of the debating contest is im- paired.It’s a pity,too,for these de- bates are of great benefit to the young folks and the State. neereeecaeeSRENTRSTEY The Landmarkis advised that a)They say it is simply a business prop-|rect,resolute man,with a clear vis- number of Iredell Democrats are shy of the primary on the idea that by{audit should be made at least once) {AUDIT THE BOOKS, public funds.” That’s the proper.idea,and it should be-adopted by all county and munici- been the custom for some years to audit the books of State institutions and State officials at regular inter- vals,In few counties or municipali- ties is this done.The officials have \not adopted the custom simply be- cause they have been content to go along in the old way.As a result, the taxpayers in few cases have any intelligent idea of how the public money is expended;and frequently, in campaigns,grave charges are made of misappropriation of funds.Rarely do these charges have any founda- tion in fact,but it is easy to arouse suspicion when the people don’t know —and they have a right to know what is done with their money. The Landmark has suggested many times in past years that the commis- sioners of Iredell,for instance—and the same suggestion applies to all counties where it is nov cone— should have the books of the coun- ty audited at least once a year,by expert auditors,and a statement of |eondition published.This is the cus- tom-of all business corporations and the county of Iredell and the city of |Statesville are simply business cor- |porations,in which all taxpayers are |stockholders.Recently the Republi- cans of the county have been press- ing for an audit of the books.They deny that their motive is political.

A table in this issue exhibits the States ranked ——according—to farm wealth produced per farm worker. The figures are based on the 1910 census volumes on Occupations and Agriculture.The résults were ob- tained by dividing the total crop and live stock wealth”produced in each State,by the total number of per- sons,ten years old and over,engag- ed in agriculture;foresters and for- est products omitted, It must be understood,of course, that the total farm wealth produced in each State,as given in the census, represents at the very best only an approximation of actual values.The fact that crops are fed to live stock involves an unavoidable dupli cation of values.However,this is true in ev- ery State,and taking the figures as ve find them,they afford a basis for significant .comparison. With these things said we may add (1)that ~the production<-of farm wealth in crops and live stock pro- ducts per farm worker in the Untited States was $728;(2)that the-figures range from $255 in Mississippi to 41,- $80.in Iowa;and (3)that North Car- olina with $290 per farm worker ranks 45th.That is to say,.44 States made a better showing than North tine,I gaze forward through the night lass as a searchlight beam pierces the darkness.Right before me fighting was the most desperate.

In general.this condition is due to the general lack of cash operating capital in our farm regions,to ex- cessive tenancy farming,to interest in cotton and tobacco mainly,to the j small average size of our farms,to the lack of diversified farming and to the unavoidable waste of human, horse and machine power in raising hand-made,cash crops on small farms. Under such circumstances,we pro- duce enormous crop totais,and large ‘op values per acre year by year.Nevertheless we produce small val-||ues per farm worker,and tie per cap- ita farm wealth we are able to retain nd accumulate under this system is 'so small as to be stertling. or instance,in the South our per capita country wealth in farm prop- erties ranges from $221 in Alabama to $830 in Oklahoma;but in the West it ranges from ($909 in Michigan to 23.586 in Towa, Producing.farm wealth that wil! not stick to the palm that sweats it out.and that immediately takes the wines of the morning and fiies away to the uttermost parts of the earth |s a pitiful performance in any.com- munity or covnty,State or section.nd it calls for radical changes i: Southern agriculture. A fundamental,necessity in North‘arolina and the South is farms suf- ‘ciently and properly stocked with do- mestic animals.We need (1)a larg- °r quantity and a greater variety of farm animals,(2)larger farms~and more work animals per farm,(3) more milk cows and other caitie,more “gs more sheep,and more poultry; vt least 50 per cent.more than we now have in any Southern State. |Such an increase wouid mean (1)a ‘conservation of Soil fertility,(2)an }acriculture better balanced.safer and \Thore stable,(3)a greater diversity | lof crops,(4)a better distribution of ‘labor throughout the year,(5)a |steady farm income week by week in- [stead of once a year,(6)perhaps a rsmaller income,but certainly larg- jor profits and a greater chance to re= itain and accumulate wealth. |And larger wealth in)our country;regions would soon mean (1) }ereasing in average site,(3) home-raised supplies and decreasing1rsnendenceonthesupplystores,and try regions, MATTERS OF NEWS.

Adkins spoke on ‘The Crash of Fem- ires,”the second chapter of Daniel ing the basis of -his-remarks.Hedeclared.“that the history of the world is.given in this chapter from“the time of Nebuchadnezzarsdown-un: til Jesus shall set up<His everlasting kingdom.The different metallic di- visions of the image represent the four: universal-empires that.were to exist) in this world.The head:of gold rep- resented Babylon;the breast and arms of silver,Medo-Persia:the sides of brass,Grecia;the legs of iron,Rome; the toes,the ten kingdoms into which Rome was divided.Three of themweresoonovercome,leaving seven, which still exist in Europe today, Their modern names are Germany, France,Englatd;’Spain,Portugal, Switzerland and Italy.God said they would undertake to unite again,usingdifferentmeans,one of which was to inter-marry.We can see how minute- ly this has been carried out.All of the crowned heads,with one or twoexceptions,are either first cousins orbrothersand-sisters.One word from, God is stronger than all the plans of men. “In the days of these kings (Dan. 2:44)God will set up His kingdom,” declared the speaker.“Then all the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ.” MINOR LOCAL ITEMS.

Wednesday morning the lifeless body of an English sparrow dangled from the south corner of the First National Bank building,and those who saw the bird air speculated on whether it was sui- cide or accident.Some thought the sparrow had taken due note of the suggestions in The Landmark, and_kill birds devote their attention exclusively to English sparrows,and had preferred to die by his own hand rather than take chances with theboys.. That theory is hardly probable,however.The sparrow is a game bird—a fighter and of cheerful dispo- sition;not of the temperament inclin- ed to suicide.That sparrow was doubtless the victim of an accident. He had probably carried that string sto the top of the bank for a nest,got caught in it and swung off. But it’s.all speculation.Dead Sparrows can no more tell tales thandeadmen.

Results of various polls and prima- ry elections throughout the United States have been published by the Democratic national commitiee as an index to the:strength which Presi- dent Wilson holds among.ther people. The most interesting are the results which show a strong trend among Republicans to cast their support with him.' The information tells that a po!l by newspapers in Pennsylvania found some 5,600 Republicans who intend to throw their weight for Wilson, al- though he is running on the Demo- cratic ticket.In New Jersey prima- ries,as commented on.by the New York Evening Post,“all the German districts turned out in large num- bers to vote the ballot with Wil- son’s name on it.This was particular- ly so in the almost exciusive German colonies in.the Hudson city section of Jersey City and in the North Hudson towns along the Palisades.” The Chicago Tribune made a_poll of the Republican,Progressive and Independent,editors in the five Cen- tral States—TIllinois,Indiana,Towa, Michigan and Wisconsin.Seventeen Republican editors favored Wilson's nomination in preference to those mentioned as candidates in the Re- publican.primaries. Althouvh unopposed in the Demo- cratic primaries,in some —instances the vote cast for the President is larg-! er than the combined vote cast in the Republican primaries for all the Re-} publican candidates.\cot aenerESnaneen MoreWarrants For McCoy.

That is about the case of the Ger- man answer to the American ulti- matum.It is a clever assemblage of words,in which there is much in- solénce and a charge of bad faith,all so arranged as to create the impres- sion that:the United States is entirely “at fault:-Nearthe--end-of the note is the concession which sayes the day. Coupled with that is the implied threat that unless we make England stop do- ing the things to which Germany ob- jects,Germany will do it again. The tone of the’note was evidently "for German consumption but it is none the less disagreeable to the United States.However,as The Landmark sees it,the United States would not be warranted under the creumstances in severing diplomatic relations:While the note is provok- ing and Germany has made promises in the past that were not kept,it would seem to be the part of wisdom to accept the latest assurance in good faith,in the hope that it will be kept. While no official announcement has jecn made from Washington,it is probable that no reply will be made to Germany.It is probably the pur- pose of the administration to remain caiet and see how Germany keeps the faith.If Germany again offends, then the break will ‘come without further,words. THE DIPLOMATIC WAY. Answering the charge that a Ger- man submarine destroyed the Sussex, the German government says:“Judg-| ing by the results that the investiga- tion has hitherto yielded the German government is alive to the possibili- ty that the ship mentioned in the note of April 10 as having been tor- pedoed by a German submarine is ac- tually identical with the Sussex.” = GOVERROR COURT OF REVIEW: =~The “Btate Journal and other pa- pers are somewhat disturbed over the ercised by the Governor,has consti- tuted the Governor a court ofreview} that in some cases he interprets the law differently from the decisions of the courts and proceeds to overrule the courts..In pardoning Johnston, the Cumberland county lawyer con- Gov,Craig_says,after complimenting Judge Allen,who imposed the sen+ tence:/“I regret that I cannot sus- tain the judgment of tne just and wise judge.”This language,says the State Journal,is that of an appel- late court.“The Governor,”that pa- per continues,“does not have to sus- tain the judgment of the courts.” Further,in giving his reasons for his action in the case,Gov.Craig says: «“}-do not=helieve thatthe:defend- ant should suffer infamous punish- ment.It is not in accord with my views that the prohibition,law nor any other law should,be thus enfore- ed.”“The implication is clear,”says:the State Journal,“that the man is par- doned purely because the Governor does not approve of the interpreta- tion of the law by the courts and their application of it in this case.” It is absolutely .necessary, course,for the Governor,or some au- thority in the State,to be clothed with power to stay or modify the exe- cution of the judgments of the courts. The reason is obvious.Circum- stances may appear after conviction and sentence,or there may be cir: cumstances of which the court.could not under.the rules of Jaw and evi- dence take cognizance,which would warrant a modification of the sentence or a pardon.The idea has prevailed —was supposed to be generally prev- alent in years agone—that the Gov- ernor is not warranted in changing a sentence or granting a pardon un- less circumstances favorable to the prisoner which did not appear at the trial or could not be legally used in the trial,afterward appear.That is to say,the Governor was not sup- posed to retry the case;he was not supposed to have the authority,after hearing only the side of the accused —and usually the Governor hears only the side of the accused—to place a different construction on the law fact that the pardoning power,-as.ex.|°4 victed of the illegal sale of wine and | sentenced to six months on the roads,; of| |gress in Washington Tast week took in the Chritty-Witren ease—that he (COMPLICITY IN REBELLION. did not believe in capital panishnient ra ‘hink the people approv.(gim Sullivan,Deposed —Ameri- ey St would b6 eae can Minister,in Trouble ws a ee faeearas Maybe:cabltel|pene —Gee M aiivah asshouldbeabolished,but it would:be!rey Ja »ponlven Oe better to abolish it directly instead of worm,formerly,er cee ta indirectly.Setting aside laws be-|Dlublin on the charge of complicity in cause.the ‘executors thereof do not|the Irish rebellion,Mr.Sullivan’was believe in them,or because they do ae by-the military authorities of not think the people want them:en-}—it js-understood that,Mr.Sullivan forced,is a little dangerous.Not all Governors are good lawyers,and ‘al- lowing’the Governor,as a court of re- view,to interpret the law after the courts have passed on it,might also be dangerous.It is well to give a little thought to-these things as we go along. time,having-arrived_thcre shortly af-tor the severance of his conection with the State Department.

Then,when the Assemoly meets,and i they find opposition sufficient to de- feat legislation deemed of benefit to the whole people,they are disap- pointed.It is well for the vorers to remember that special interests are never asleep when legislators are he- ing selected. _REREAD SRR oR Most all the State papers,in men- tioning Gov.Craig,invariably print it “Gov.Locke Craig.”Why Locke every time?So far as we know ther isn’t any other Gov.Craig in the State and it isn’t necessary to put in the Locke to distinguish the Govern- or from Gov.Jim Craig or Gov.Tom Craig.: A shower bath is a convenience as well as a sanitary arrangement,forprisonersinOnslowcountyjail, "TANNOUNCEMENTS.

The latest raid of Mexican ban- ‘ditaon the American side of the line it certain.that American troops will continue in business in Mexico fora time.They are needed That Governor Craig takes the view that he can retry cases,howev- er,is apparent;and he also takes the in setting aside the judgment of the courts for sentimental reasons,as was evident in the Warren -Christy case.In that case the Governor found that the decision of the courts was proper;that the prisoners were guilty and there was absolutely no- thing in their favor.Under the con- struction of the constitution for which the State Journal and others contend,the Governor would have held in that case that he was powerless. But Gov.Craig didn’t see it that way. Because he didn’t believe a woman should be executed and didn’t believe public sentiment would approve the execution of the woman,he set aside the judgment of the courts. It is fair to say that Gov.Craig is not the first nor the only Governor who has taken that view of his au- thority under the constitution..Gov. Aycock took the same view and exer# cised it.He acted on the court of re- ‘view idea.The Landmark called at- tention at the time to the Governor’s attitude as something new and pos- sibly dangerous,but the public was little concerned.That Gov.Aycock, an able lawyer,believed he had the righthe exercised,and that Gov. Craig,an able lawyer,believes he has the legal and the moral right to take the course he pursues,is ‘not Landmark does not believe,however, that it was ever,intended to give the Governor power to pass on the inter- pretation of the law after the courts had decided what the law is;it does not believe it was intended for the Governor to set aside the judgment of the courts,unless additional facts and circumstances not heard by the courts appear after the trial;and |certainlyitdoesnot believe a kind- hearted Governor should allow ap- to be public opinion,to influence him when facts do not warrant action. These facts are stated as a matter of public information and to show the trend in these matters.At least two Governors—and possibly others —have taken the view set forth. That method of proceaure may now be considered established.If the next Governor follows it he will befollowingprecedent.But it is well toconsiderhowtheprivilegeassumedcanbeabused.If,for instance,aGovernorwaselectedwhodidnotbe-lieve in capital punishment:he could grant a commutation in every capl- andi more of,them,tal case and gay,as Gov.Craig’said view that the Governor is warranted| _|there being only three or four mem-; questioned.They may be right.The. peals to sentiment,or what appears|; |matters the congress hoped to pro- ‘mote,the idea being to have govern- |ment control or supervision of wa- |terpowers to prevent their falling in- to the hands of private interests,to be exploited for gain rather than for| public benefit.It seems,however, that the waterpower interests got control of the congress and the ac-| tion taken was the opposite of that intended.J.S.Holmes,North Caro- lina’s forester,said of the action of, the congress:t For Sheriff.I hereby announce myself a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Iredell county,subject| to the action of the Democratic primary,June|3,1916.J.OTIS GAITHER.|April 28.| || |For County Superintendent Schools.|To the Democratic Voters of Iredell County:I am a candidate for the office of Superin-tendent of Schools,subject to the action of the|Democratic primaries.If nominated and?elected,I pledge to the schools of Iredell coun-;ty the best service of which I am capable.April 28.JOHN F.MITCHELL. 6“..Bor County Treasurer.I think the waterpower interests,|am a candidate for County Treasurer,sub-| so-overbalanced the rest of the con-'ject to the action of the Democratic primary,| gress that they carried all they con-June 3.1916.R.F,RIVES.||tended for—not only favoring the)April 25. immediate development of the water-| power of the country and _private:I hereby announce myself a candidate for|ownership,but they passed other res-ROFatrofPee Shmomatic:woteen vas ex:|olutions criticising Federal owner-'pressed by them at the primary,June 3,1916. ship and control.of Yederal re-|l.N.BROWN,Troutman,Fallstown Town- sources.\ship.April 26. “The resolutions prepared by the|For County Treasurer. forsee committee of the National lee hereby einenee :eerie i onservation Congress were turned|Younty reasurer,su ject to the action of the / °eee ‘Democratic primary,June 3,1916.{down by an overwhelming majority,|April 25.W.-H.HUNTER,| bers of that committee who were in|For’Sherif.;:._|To the Democrats of Iredell County:|any way interested in the protection|1 hereby announce myself a candidate for| of the forest.”ithe Democrati¢nomination for sheriff of Ire-| :eee DOPE dell_county,ao we aan appreciate your | °°is te espectfully,Mooresville to Have Community ("xyrir 25.Pe,L,GILBERT.

TOPICS. “°Mr.Gerard,American amBassador *at Berlin,has found it necessary to deny that he has encouraged a break between the United States.and Ger- many or that he desires it.On the -contrary,Mr.Gerard says_that he has done all possible to clear,away ‘misunderstandings between Germany and America and has done all he could to preventa conflict.The accusation made against him that he is an ene- my~of the German people,the am- bassador says,is untrue and without foundation.. ‘They're telling it Kitchin’s district that farmers getting five cents a ‘pound structed and defeated”the ship pur- “chase:bill:Mr.Kitchin “shows “from the record that while he voted against |n the ‘ship’purchase bill that he lent his/the so-called war literature,”Herr aid to bring it promptly to a vote,| ‘did everything to facilitate its’pass-|where it belongs—to the paper mills age except vote for it.The bill pass-| ed the House and failed in the Sen- ate.Mr.Kitchin says further:, “Even if the bill had become a law| at the last Congress,not an extra} pound of tobacco or cotton would | have been shipped.It would have | taken a year or two under the bill) for ships to have been constructed,| had the bill passed;and if we_ha purchased ships under the ~bill,it; to our export trade,as the only ships| which could have been purchased| were those already in the export, trade.”Furthermore,had the bill be- come law and we had had a thousand| ships,says Mr.Kitchin,we could not have shipped an extra pound of cot- ton or tobacco because “the -British| order-in-council forbade the shipment| of cotton and tobacco to Germany and Austria,and later even to neu- _tral countries,where there was prob- ability of reshipment to Germany and Austria.”. Mr.Kitchin will support the ship-| ping bill now before the House. Two years ago,following the out:| break of the war,the price of cotton| dropped and the Democrats explain- ed that it was due to,the war,which| had curtailed the exportation of cot- ton..The Republicans contended that it was the result of the Democratic administration.-So strong did this contention become that in some of the “wayback rural districts they went so far as to declare that there was no war;that the story of a war in Eu-, rope was a “Democratic lie”made up' to excuse the low price of cotton for which the Democrats were responsi- ble.The idea that the war is a myth was so firmly inculcated among some of the ignorant that it has not been’entirely dissipated.The Newton En- terprise has heard of a man who con- tends in this vear of grace that there is no war.’Asked if he didn’t read| about’the war in the napers he an-swered,“Paper lics.”The idea that a grown man able to walk around by himself would make an assertion like’ that staggers belief and is galling to the pride of those who want to be- lieve that education and enlighten- ment are covering the State like a, blanket.But it’s a fact that ipnor-! ance and prejudice are still domi- nant factors with more people thanwewouldliketobelieve;and it is al-|so a fact that ignorance and preju-'however,anddicearestillmuchinevidenceeven!fyl]legal authority to read and.{:among many people who , who are supposed to be intelligent. *** Speaking in Charlotte the otherdayinbehalfofhiscandidacyfor Governor,Attorney General Bickett referred to the contention that he is n lawyer while-his-opponent,Mr. Daughtridge,is a farmer.Mr.Bick- ett said that though he pleads guilty ‘to “some knowledge of the law,’he would premise “not to allow his knowledge of the law to hurt the great State of North Carolina”if he is elected. a farmer in a way as Mr.Daught- ridge,the onlv-difference—beingthat Lieutenant Governor Dauchtridge owns 1.000 acres where he (Bickett) owns 150.“I will let all the 1,000- acre bovs vote for Daughtridge,”said Mr.Bickett,“if all you 150-acre boys will vote for me.” This is a reminder of the story told by “Private”John Allen of Mis- sissinpi..Mr.Allen was for years in the House of Congress.He was a noted wit and was universally known as “Private”John Allen because he said he was about the only private in Confederate army in public life,all the rest being generals or colonels. On oné occasion “Private”John had as an opponent in his campaign a ‘general—Gen.Jonés,we will say,be- cause his name is not recalled.At one of their appointments Gen.Jones recalled that the plate was the site of one of the battles of the war and he pointed out the place where he stayed in a tent during a dark and stormy night.“Yes.”said “Private” Allen,when it came his turn to speak, “Gen.Jones was in his tent all right during that storm and I was outsideintherain,standing guard.Now allhoyswhooccupiedtentscanvotefor~Gen.Jones and all of you who wereoutsidecanvoteforme.”It is needless to sav that “Private”|Allen was elected.Mr.Bickett ofcourséknowsthattherearemore115-acre,boys than 1.000-acre boys. eeCatawbaCollegeWillHardly BeMoved.

The’President told his callers that a helpless nation would be negligible in a conference to establish the foun- dations for peace.He said there was a difference between preparedness and militarism,that the country was Alabama able to prove that another committed. at is by no means compen-' April 28.JOHN F.MITCHELL, For County Treasurer.

There has been much said recently! “about the auditing of books of public| accounts.|The late Republican con- vention asked that.the books of the; State Treasurer and the books of oth-| er State offices be audited,and the| people of the State be informed as to} the condition of the State's finances.| The county Republican convention | asked that the books of the county be audited.The recent Democratic con-| vention at Raleigh went on record as | favoring the regular auditing of the} books of public accounts.|‘I he people| generally have complained that public| officers have not made more frequent) statements of the condition of their offices...Citizens of Statesville often| ask about‘the condition of the city. Citizens of the county often ask about | the condition of the county funds,and of the school funds.It is a general | complaint,not only in Iredell coun ty,but in all the counties.Not alone | in Democratic counties,but in Repub-| lican counties as well.This last is | true,notwithstanding the urgency of| the demand on the part of the Repub-| lican convention at Raleigh. This is a righteous demand on the part of the taxpayers.They:have a right to know what goes with the pub- lic moneys,whether municipal,coun- ty or State funds;whether for schools or.otherwise..Every business is re- quired to show its stockholders the condition of the finances at regular intervals,and a_city,county,or State is a business on a large scale,| but is managed by political methods rather than by business methods.Asi the people gain in intelligence they want to know what goes with public moneys.An_intelligent community does not complain so much at paying taxes as they do about the expendit-| ure of the moneys raised by taxation.| If these funds are used for the good of all the people,there can be no} complaint. The following system of auditing accounts would meet the require- ments of all the taxpayers,and would | guarantee the honesty of public aud-| itors.A system of auditing which, would not inspire confidence in the} people would be no better than no system at all.It could be easily said, that the auditors were bought.To off- set any complaint and t®guarantee, honesty on the part of the auditors, a law might be passed authorizing the Governor to appoint a public aud- itor-for each judicial district,the first: to be a Democrat,the second to be a} Republican,and so on for as many) districts as there are judges in the} State.Then Tet each public auditor| begin his duties in any district,and go on to the next district,and let this! auditor be followed by an auditor of the other political party.This should be done as a check on each other.| Then no party could say that the aud-| itors were bought,and each auditor) would be more particular than if he} were to be followed by himself or by an auditor of the same political par ty:“These anditors ‘should be appoint- ed by the Governor in order to get -«the eénditions as outlined.If they should be made clective some districts would elect Republicans and some, Democrats,but the parties might not be divided equally so as to make anauditorofeachpartyfollowtheoth- er.These auditors should be requir- ed to audit the books pf each county| and of each municipality each,year, as well as the books of the State of- ficcrs.No one could complain of this because it would guarantee an hon-! est auditing of the books of every: public officer in the State. Fach county,city,or the State! should pay for the audit of the books pertaining to its own affairs,and the| results of the audits should be made. public.If this were done there would| be less complaint on the part of the taxpayers as to the -expenditure of. public moneys,and the officers would in many instaneesbe more careful as to how.the-moneys~were expended.| Effidiency in government should be demanded the same as in private busi- ness,TAXPAYER.| Death of Mr.|Stafford—Mrs.| 4 1 Charlotte’s Sensation.

At a meeting of the membership committee of the Broad Street Men’s Bible class,Wednesday afternoon,it was decided not to limit the member- ship of the class to 100.Last Sundzy, the pastor and the class leaders were hardly prepared for the crowd of new ‘members that greeted them,and not at all prepared to announce any plans for seating a class of more than 100. Tentative plans were agreed upon at the meeting of the class commit- tee for enlarging the present class room.This can readily be done by removing a partition at the rear of the rdom,throwing another class room into the one now occupied by the men’s class,thus gaining space: sufficient to/seat 50 more men.No- isfactory’arrangements are made with the Sunday school officers for caring for Mr.H.G.Hallyburton’s class of boys that now use the room to the rear of the men’s class room. The committee anticipates no trou- ‘ble whatever in making these ar- rangements,as the men’s class is per- |fectly willing to undertake to finance i both the refurnishing of its own room with comfortabie chairs,and the | complete equipment of the proposed new room for the boys. Should the whole school continue to grow at its present quarter’s rate of increase in attendance,the problem :would then present itself of remodel- ing the present Sunday school plant or of adding to it materially. Plans were matured for observing Mother’s Day in the class next Sun- day morning.A folder containing S. KE.Kiser’s beautiful little poem, “Mother,”with an appropriate greet- ing arranged by the)committee,is be- |ing mailed this week to each member ;of the class.An even larger attend- ance than recorded for last Sunday is jexpected for Mother’s Day. \ secretary of Sunday schools, ‘spend next Sunday with the First Baptist church of Statesville and will be in charge of all the services of the ‘day.All members of the church and |Sunday school are urged to hear him and visitors are invited.

Charge Extravagance in Wake. Some time ago the county attorney of Wake started something by charg- ing unwarranted extravagance in the administration of the county govern- ment.This'was denied of course, but the Wake grand jury this week seems to see it that way.In its re- pert the grand jury,in its sweeping ;demands for economy,would abolish the county treasurer,abolish the of- fice of assistant superintendent of the county home;the office of assist- ant to the county road éngineer;one of two supervisors in the department of education;cut the salary of the ;superintendent of health from $2,000 county attorney from $900 to $500,Besices these reduc- iions the grand jury finds unnecessa- ‘ry the cifht clerks who are receiv- ing $5,760_a year and protests payment of $717.90 to Chairman L.I.

Judge Ferguson imposed the min- imum sentence—four months in jail. His honor said he felt the verdictwasjustifiedbutthatnoonebeliev- ed Tankersley’s act was malicious.The.jail sentence authorizes thecountycommissionerstohireTankers-ley,which means that he won’t serve the jail sentence. ° Higher-up Sentenced to Roads. A dispatch from Morganton to the Charlotte Observer says that Frazier Brittain,a well known and influential politician:and farmer,is deeply in thetoils-of the law in the round-up of the liquor sellers at Morganton.He ‘is-said to be the--man—“hisher up,” and that the 50 or 60 others convict- ed are mostly his agents.Anticipat- ing serious trouble,Brittain skipped but was caught in Asheville and re- turned to Morganton.He was not allowed to give bond but was sent to jail under a sentence of 22 months on the roads,imposed by Judge Lane. But if Brittain is .an “influential politician,”as alleged,it is a safe bet that he will not do time on the roads. He may be headed that way but a way will be found to get around it. Big Land Case Settled. The Gilbert Hopkins case,which has been before the courts for 20 yearsandissaidtohavebeenoneofthe most famous land cases ever tried inthecourt,was settled in Asheville last week before Judge Boyd,in «the United States District Court,this settlement ending the litigation by the parties involved.By the terms of -the compromise the Babcock Lumber Company,of Pittsburgh,Pa.,_re- ceives all it has claimed and the Hop- kins heirs conveyed their interests inGrahamcountytotheWhitingMan- ufacturjng Company of Philadelphia.The fe involved lands in Cherokee and Graham counties estimated to be worth $1,500,000.

The exercises were concluded with a farewcll song by the lower classes to the seniors and with the college yells. Dr.Lingle’s Sermons. Growing in grace,or developing in the Christian life,was the subject of Dr.Walter L.Lingle’s commence- ment ‘sermon at the First ~Presbyte- rian church Sunday morning,The dis- course was founded on 2d Peter,3:- 18:“But grow in grace,and in the knowledge 6f our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.” Peter had finished his work and this was his final word to the Church ~—the last verse of his last epistle. Did you ever ask yourself seriously, said Dr.Lingle,what God is trying to do for us through the Gospel of His Son?Ts it to save us from hell?To save us for heaven?That is a part of it and praiseworthy enough,but it jis eomparatively a small part.He’s ltrying to make us perfect like Jesus |Christ was perfect;to free us from sin and to perfect us in all the Chris- tian graces;to make us perfect in service,Romans,8:29,teaches us HtHhat—Ged—-had—us—in—_mind from the foundation of the world to conform us to the image of His Son. The life task is‘to be like Jesus. The work of the senior class of the college has just berun,not ended, and the work is to be like Jesus in personal character and the service we render to the world.The change ean’t be instantaneous;it is not the work of a day,a month,a year;it is a life-work.We are born again,be- come babes in Christ,and then we grow in grace—develop into strong men and women;and if we growwego.on to perfection.The best things are of slow growth.The mush- room develops in a day;the oak comes to perfection in a century.It ‘takes time to grow sonething worth while.The lower forms of animallifedevelopquickly.Mak may ‘reachhisphysicallybestat25,but his-men-tally best not under 50—gometimes later,The.men who are commanding(Continued on Lighth Page.)

In connection with the celebration of the quarter-centennial of (the school’s establishment,it is of inter- est to note that this is the eighteenth glass that has finished the full course in the 25 years of the school’s existence.The school began in the fall of 1891 and the first class finish- ed.in the spring of 1895.-There were no finishing classes in 1897,1907, 1909 and 1915,this being due to the addition of grades,which necessitat- ed skippinga year,Ut'the 18 class- es there were a total of 349 gradu- ates—218 girls and 181 boys. In the first class—1895—!there were 9—all girls save one;second class 19,11 girls and 8 boys;third class 12,10 girls and.two boys; fourth class 19,15 girls and =four boys;fifth class 18,11 girls and 7 hoys;sixth class 12,7 girls and 5 boys;seventh class 16,9 girls and 7 boys;eighth class’21,13 girls and 8 boys;ninth class 19,18 girls and 6 hoys;tenth class 30,19 girls and 11 boys;eleventh class 26,16 girls and 10 boys;twelfth class 12,9 girls and three boys;thirteenth crass 26,15 iof sirls and 11 boys;fourteenth elass 27,16 girls and 11 boys;fifteenth} class 22,14 girls and 8 boys:six-| teenth class 19,7 girls and 12 bevs:} sevententh class 22,15 girls and 7 hoys;eirhteenth class 20,10 girls and ten boys. Tt .will be seen that in only oneclass-—that of 19138--did the num-ber of boys exeeed the girls and inonlyoneclass—that of this year—was the number equally divided.The class of 1905,with 80°mem-|bers,has the distinction of being thelargesttoleavetheschool.

Mr.McElwee Suggeéts an Old- Time Muster For.Fourth of July at Fort Dobbs—The Old- Time Musters Another Name For Preparedness. Mr.J.H.McElwee would have a “muster”at:Old Fort=Debbs-on,.the Fourth of July.It would be aneventofinterestandiftheplangan he carried out it would be a fitting celebration for the national holiday. The older people have heard of ihe “musters”before the war of the 60s,and there are yet a few who as youngsters saw these musters-if.they did not participate in them. In those days the State military law provided that all.white males within certain age limits who were physically fit,with the usual exemp- tions on account of occupations, should report for military duty at stated intervals.Certain territory in’each county was laid off as a mil- itary district.All liable for duty in that district were und¢ér one man as captain and they met and drilled at intervals.At least once a year there was a general muster,when all the district companies reported *at the county court house or some place ap- néinted for a “general muster,”and there were majors,colonels and gen- erals in|command.These general muster days were great events,when not-6nly those liable for military du- ty but all the countryside gathered, and they had great times.In addi- lion to the military drills there were other forms of entertainment— vrobably —footraces,when they ran “nx good hickory”;and personal en- counters,to establish physical prow- were not a few.Ginger cakes and cider were plentiful and the very best of pure fruit brandy sold for asong, The general musters were ‘the events of the year in the old days, and it is a general muster that Mr. McElwee 'sugerests as a fitting cele- bration at Fort Dobbs.Of course not all the features of the old mus- ters could be provided for this event. The ginger cakes and cider might be vermissible,but the fruit brandy,or any other sort of brandy or strong drink,couldn’t be had for a song or any other price.But thev could give some of the features of the old mus- ters that would doubtless _interestandentertain.“1 Another Name For Preparedness. Talking about the musters,the old- timers believed in preparedness.War to them had been a reality.The Rev- olution,the war of 1812 and the Mex- ‘ean war had been events,to say no-thing of numerous Indian wars. Therefore it-was deemed a part—a real and proper nart—of the duties of citizenship to be prepared for mil- itary service:that every white male physically fit should know how to WNandle a gun and how ta shoot:so ‘hat in the event of war the handling of a grun would nit be an_entirely new proposition to those called into service, In these days when the greatest war of all history is in progress,and when it seems at times that despite our efforts to steer clear of the dif- fieujty we mav become embroiled.va- rious plans of military prenaredness sre snerested,Some of them aresimplythereeulationsinvoeueintheMates_in the old days,under anoth-yr name.The idea of compulsory. nilitary service now is —distasteful. Anv pronosition to compel all white males within certain .are limits to rive a certain amount of time to drilling would be very unpopular. And.vet that was formerly the law of —North _Carolina _and__of other States.Jt was,as hus been said,eon- sidered a necessary part of the du- ‘ies of citizenshin,and the conditions that had?existed made it necessary,The man\liable to military duty,who shiected to the service or tried to Jodee,was accounted unpatriotic—as 'aeking in the spirit that made a goodsitizen,.

They know these by instinct.~All that is learned should be put into practice..The power test should be;beyond the ‘memorv test in our edu- cational system.‘The women should: be educated for vocational service.| No woman is educated unless she can} cook and sew.If a girl ean make} her own clothes she can have more and} better clothes—-the cost.of making being saved.Jt is all rieht for younr women to learn’bookkeeping and stenography.but life is more than : living and the training —in college must be for life.

A feature of some of the celebra- tions of Memorial Day is vocal mu- *gic.At Mooresville this year war ‘gongs were sung by a quartette.The singing of war songs by a chorus wouldbe not only a diversion at thesegatherings,but would.addmuchtothepleasureandinterest. The addresses are.all right,but of necessity they must cover largely the -game ground year after year,and sometimes,it seems to The Land-mark,we depend too much ona speak- er to furnish all the _entertainment for our public gatherings.Singing by a chorus and a few recitations would helpmuch,| Members of the Methodist -Episco- pal Church (usually called the North-ern Methodist in this part of thethecountry)who play .cards,dance and attend the theatre will'no longer|be liable to expulsion if recommenda- tions made by a-sub-committee-of the General Conference,which has been considering the question of amuse- ments,are adopted.By a vote of 10 to 8,the sub-committee recommend- ed the elimination from the Book of Discipline of the clause prohibiting these amusements,and offered as a substitute an additional paragraph in which warning is made against the diversions.The effect of the propos- ed change is to remove the absolute prohibition,but to place the Church| on record as still strongly opposed to| these forms of amusement.. The sub-committee doubtless took the view that as the prohibition is dis- regarded by many Church members it is just as well to get it off the book entirely;and the same view could be taken as to worldly amusements by| all churches. ®** Dr.Albert Anderson,superintend-ent of the State Hospjtal,Raleigh,|“gued Dr.R.L.Holloway,a practicing physician of West Durham,for $750,6,for the care of his wife for a period| of three years,and was awarded| $525.This verdict was the first test of the law of March,1915,authorizing ,the enforcement of the collection,by State Hospitals,of the cost of main-| tenance of non-indigent insane pa-tients.Under the law,patients com-| mitted to the hospitals for the insane| are liable for the actual cost of main-| tenance,if they have an income over-and above the amount “requiredto | support those dependent upon them. It will readily be seen,by takingthought,that comparatively few peo- ple have such an income.A man may be well-to-do as we gauge wealth in this part of the country,but if he be- comes insane and is taken away fromhisbusiness,it is often the case that, the income he provided ceases with! his activities.For instance,a farmer|may have a $10,000 farm and make, .Some money above that required to support his family.But if he is re-! moved from the management of it the place might not make enough to support the family.The valuablepropertywillbethere,but if it does not produce a surplus above that re- quired to support the family,underthelawcollectioncouldnotbemadefromthatsourceforthesupportofavatientinahospitalfortheinsane. So with any other business or profes-| sion.Sometimes a son or daughter of ,wealthy parents may be a patient, but if the patient is of age and has no income of his own,he is not legal- ly a charge on his parents and in such cases cost cannot be legally collectedfromthem.Thus it will be seen thatcomparativelyfewpatientscommit-ted to the hospitals for the insane are pay patients under the law;and this explains why in many cases patients of apparent means or of a_family of means are not.on the pay list.Un- der the statute.as made and provided,they are not liable.Sometimes a patient who had no income—or such an income as the | law_requires to make hima pay pa-} tient—owns property which produces no income.In case of death of such patient the law provides that action may be brought against the estate to collect cost of maintenance for fiveyears, eS 2 “The Wake county grand jury,” says the Greensboro.News,referring to the going over the Wake inquis- itors gave the management of Wake’s county business,“seems to have fot the notion that it really had some du- ties to perform.Strange idea for agrandjury.” _It ‘is.unusual.Usually the grandJurorspassonthebillssentthemandJetitgoatthat.They visit countyinstitutions,pass through the roomsofthecourthouseandsay“all'swell.”Their inspection of county in-stitutions,such as the jail,countyhome,convict camp,etc.,is some-times worth something.It is not in-frequent that grand juries get afterthemanagementoftheseinstitutions.But the visit to the court house officesisthebiggestfarceatall.Of thisvisittheyusuallymakea_reportnnpeethis: e visited the county offices andfindthebooksneatlyaacorrectlykept.”,That is the form and it is follow-ed because it is custom.The grandjurorsdon’t know whether the booksarecorrectlykent,whether—the—ac-counts of the officers are correct.They can’t know in the nature ofthings.It is often the case that nomanonthegrandjuryisfittedbyexperienceortrainingto.examine thehooksanddeterminetheircorrect._ness.But if there were expert book-keepers and accouitants on everygrandjury,they couldn’t make in a-few minutes or a few hours ‘the ex-amination it would require an expert_days and weeks to make properly.The Landmark has long hoped to sce.the day when some grand jury wouldbreakthecustomandstatethefacts.Instead of going through the farce of»Walking through the county offices,thegrandjurorsshouldn't make the vis-i it at all and.in _their report they“should write a paragraph reading af-r teree ns::e n’t visit the county offices,Members of this body,are not prop-“erly qualified to make an’examina-tion of the accounts and if,they wereQualifiedwehaven’t the time to make Ai nner examination.--it-ie-#-faree- to ene vhecagh the offices,glance,aty a book or at a statement prepared by the officers,and say the accounts are correct,Instead of this so-called examination,which.is worse |than useless,we recommend that the com:| wicitners employ expert auditors to audit the books at least once a year. |A few reports like that from grand| |juries and there would be “something| |didding,”as Col,Fairbrother would | }SAY:eee | GOES THROUGH THE cbse Rural Credits Bill Through Both | |Houses—Differences.to Be! |__Adjusted in Conference.| |he Glass rural credits bill,pro-| i viding for a Federal farm loan board| and a system of 12 land banks,pass- ‘ed the House of Conigress Monday by la vote of 295 to 10.A similar measure ||has passed the Senate,andthe differ- ‘ences will be worked out soon in con- |ference. Little opposition was encountered |by the bill,which was piloted through | \-the-House by Representative Glass of Virginia and”Representative”Phe-| lan’of Massachusetts.Under_its} ‘terms the land banks would lend| money to farmers at not more~than '6 per cent.interest,through local| loan associations,on mortgages that |would be used by the banks as the basis for farm loan bonds. There are many differences be- tween the Senate and House bills to be adjusted.The Senate measure would authorize loan associations| |with unlimited liability;the House would not.The Senate would limit| loans on lands to 50 per cent.with no recognition of improvements.The ‘House proposes to grant 60 per cent. on land.values and 20 per cent.of value on permanént insurable im- ‘provements. The Senate proposes that no loan shall be made if the-three members of the.local loan..committee are not unanimous in their appraisement;the Hause would require a majority re- port of the committee.The Senate makes the minimum loan of $200: the House of $160.‘The Senate would— charge borrowers 10 per cent.interest on all defaulted payments;the House would charge only contract rates.The Senate would require local associa- tions to make good all defaults with-| in 80 days after notice from a local bank;the House would provide a special reserve to protect associa- tions. The Senate bill reauires advance {payments on ‘the principal in sums of $100 or multiples and the House $25 or multiples.The Senate’makes the aetual earning power of the land a principal factor and the House makes the agricultural value the principal basis of appraisement.-Under the Senate bill local associations would be required to hold 25 per cent.of net earnings of borrowers,while the House would require all net earnin®s to be paid to borrowers as dividends.

Closing the Banks on Saturday Caused Trouble.= So far as The Landmark’s business is concerned,the banks could stay closed three or four days a week with- out seriuos inconvenience.In fact that plan might have some advant-4 ages for somé of us.The banks don’t collect.drafts the days they are closedandlongertimewouldbeaffordedto get ahead of the check you expect tobeattothebank. But all this is preliminary to saying |-that when a body is dependent on banks for change and-for cash to meet the Saturday pay-roll,he is somewhat up against it if he finds these neces- sary institutions closed tight and faston.Saturday with never .a word of warning,aS was the case in States-ville Saturday,The way folks had té stir about to get change and to get checks_cashed,..was not only an ever present reminder of the usefulness of banks;and-some who were somewhat inconvenienced because they couldn’t get change-or-get-checks—eashed,—_be- came__firmly convinced that o law should be passed compelling bariks to stay open—on Saturday,unless they give ample warning.,Another case like that mignt mean a_few mentalanguishsuits.,< Winston-Sa-Mr.Thompson’at lem.

State Could Get _Manuscripts From Home Authors and Oth- ers and Have Books Printed By Contract.| Referring to the letting of the con- tract for-school-books-for the-public schools,‘which is to be done this year,and the consequent.scramble and .wire-pulling —and possibly worse—engaged in by the representa- tives of the school:beok publishers to get the contract;and that all the money spent in lobbying for-the con- tract and all the big profits that go to the publishers,must come off the parents and “the children;and some efits of an education because ’they can’t buy the numerous books requir- ed,the editor of the,Monroe Journal suggests a remedy.'He says: “Since the State has said that all children must go to school it is cer- tainly up to the State to see that text books are furnished at a reasonable price within the reach of the people. How can this be done? “There is a simple and easily work-; able plan,which will cut out the present evil and at the same time not| introduce the doubtful one of having| itself print books,which| has been tried in some States.That} plan is for the State to secure the} preparation-of -manuscrivts-and--have| the books printed from them by large| job printing houses at commercial| prices,which would be very low in comparison to the prices now being| paid.Of course the book concerns| and all their agents will set un a! great objection to this and say that it cannot be done.But it can be done and done easily.| “The State already has several au-| thors of text books and the fact that| these books have been adopted under| the present methods proves that they| are-equal tothe best:—We-recal that Prof.E.C.Brooks of Trinity College| has prevared several books,Dr.Hill} of the A.&M.College has prepared a notable one on agriculture,which| is now in use all over the countrv.: Dr.Alphonso Smith has _prepared. one on English grammar;there are several histories.and no doubt sever- al other books that we do not recall. The State could pay our authors a. reasonable price for manuscripts and have the hooks printed and save big money.This would put the work on) a competitive commercial basis and atthesame.time stimulate productive| work by our own educators.If we did not find authors of our own of| sufficient ability’there would’be no trouble whatever in securing others.| The State board of education could| secure the manuscripts and turn them over to the department of printing) to secure their publication at a low commercial cost,and they could be’; distributed just as at present if so, desired. “This -would-result.-in-a-great.sav- ing,increase the use of books,and| be a great big thing for the cause of|education.” Mr.Daniels Trying to Save ‘the Oil Fields.

The resolution was offered by Rep- resentative Walter Hensley,a Mis- souri Democrat,one of ..the pacifist members of the committee.In some quarters the adoption of the resolu- tion was regarded as a concession to our own committee,who had voted for a building programme costing $160,+ 000,000.Representative resolution reads: “Upon conclusion of theEurope,or as soon thereafter as Hensley’s| “the children—encouraging the dull and the backward,restraining and may be done,the President of the all great governments of the world ‘Phe ‘suggestion of Editor Beasley {of=the-Monroe Journal as to a newbooksforthe ers-of our own selection,‘The pres- it| books for the: appropriation bill | the “small navy”Democrats of the| Norfolk,Va.,| war in| NEWS OF CURRE Incidents Gathered Wilson’s naval aide and be-married—at-St.-Gee the wedding. inventor of the submarine road trucks. /has instituted peachment sel]county,Ala., at Girard—over a | lars’worth of illicitseizedlastweek.| pastor of Union”and churches (a country ed moderator of byterian General met at Orlando,Fla.,last Christopher J. enue collector,was |Federal jing and accept |reports. |postoffice appropriation bill fan agreement eliminating stead of $500. ;Chemical .Company at tragedy resultingScarboroughisin jail. will afford an opportunity ed in one of these States.

Secretary McAdoo has °submitted to Chairman Kitchin of .the House ways and means committee andChairmanSimmonsofthe-Senate finance committee revised estimates of the government’s receipts and ex- penditures for the remainder of the current fiscal year and the fiscal year ending June 30,1917,tending to show that much less new revenue will have to be raised to meet the bill for pre- paredness and other large contem- plated expenditures than had been supposed. About $150,000,000 in additional revenue will have to be provided ‘dur- ing the coming year,Mr.McAdoo said.This i$less by $75,000,000 than the most conservative members Congress calculated at the outset of the session would be needed.All the additional revenue will come from taxes on incomes,inheritances and munitions,in accordance with a plan approved by President Wiilson.

The battle of Verdun,the longest and most bitterly-contested individ- ual struggle of the war,entered onitsfourthmonththisweek.The Ger- mans,with characteristic patience and stubbornness,are hammering at Dead Man’s Hill,where the most fu- rious and bloody fighting of the three months’conflict has taken place. Clinging desperately to the trenches that they have wrested from the French on the lower slopes of the hill, the Teutons have hurled 60,000 men, backed by 60 batteries of guns of all calibers,forward along a _seven-mile front from Avocourt wood to the Meuse in a desperate effort to seize the-eoveted summit. On the Austro-Italian front..theAustriansfromtheLakeGardare- gion to the Val Sugana district,are keeping up their valiant offensive against the Italians.Driven across their border soytheast of Trent,the Italians are endeavoring to hold a fortfiied line from Asiago to Arsiero and the heights east of the Val d’As- sa.Rome admits that in effecting their retreat across the border the Italians destroyed artillery which it was impossible to withdraw. ror The Germans en again taken the fort.A later report says:“Continu- ing their furious assaults in the Ver-. dun region the Germans,having suc- ceeded in again wresting the battered ruins of Fort Douaumont from the French,have driven hard agafhst the lines west of the fort.In this new attack the Crown Prince’s forces suc- eeeded in gaining a foot-hold in a French trench near the Haudremont quarry;which has been the scene re- cently of much fighting.

Part of ‘the Republican List That Was Not in Tuesday. The Landmark applied,Monday:to Mr.Zeb,V.Long,chairman of —the county board of elections,and obtain- éd a list of all the candidates whose applications were on file at his office: This was supposed to be the complete list——and was so far as Mr.Long knew-—and The Landmatk so stated. After the paper appeared ‘Tuesday, however,it was learned’that some of the candidates had filed ‘notice’With Mr.W.J.Matheson,secretary of the board,and these notices.were in:Mr. Matheson’s possession and not on file|( in Mr.Long’s office.Following is the list of candidates thus omitted—all Republicans. For County .Commissioner —LC. Wagner,L.C.Myers,W.B.Gant,C, G.Smith. Register of Deeds—M.E.Ramsey, Sheriff;—J.M.Davts.This puts a different face on the situation as to the Republicans and the primary.The Landmark stated Tuesday—and the statement was correct with the information it then had—that as none of the Republican candidates had opposition in the “pri- maries,under the law their “names would not!appear on the primary.bal- lots and there would not,therefore,|$8. be any Republican voting in the pri- maries,This additional.list,howev- er,makes six Republican’candidates for county commissioner—the others named.Tuesday.being B.-A.Holmes and C.C.Tharpe;two candidates for sheriff—J.M.Davis and T.Scott Barkley;two for registen—M.E. Ramsey and Jas.E.Tharpe.The Republicans will have to de- cide between these as to who will be their candidates at.the November election—and this means that the Re- publicans will have a hand inrhe pri-mary. nection with the trial of .Herbert Carson.It seems that ’Squire Ro-L: Kinder of Turnersburg township ad- vised the solicitor that there was nothing in the case except spite work: and the solicitor accepted this and asked for a nol.pros.Judge..Long wanted to know who was responsible and wanted to see where the costs were to come from,so a trial of the case was gone into and Carson.-was convicted.Judge Long then ordered Mr.Kinder into the custody of an of! ficer until the solicitor would decide whether to take action a@ainst him. This the solicitor decided not to do and Mr.Kinder was released. 3ut Mr.Kinder was on the stand and was asked as to the character of one of the witnesses in the case,Miss Julia Campbell.He would not state anything definite but did say th:it he had known her for a year and he did not consider her character —vood. Counsel has since been employed to sue Mr.-Kinder for damage to the character of Miss Campbell as a re- sult of his testimony. Quince Shives,who-drew 18: months on the road for abandonment.‘ is a young white man who abandon- ed his five children in Statesville some months ago.-His counsel en- tered a plea of guilty for-Shives and the excuse for him was that he is verv ignorant.Judge.Long examin- ed-Shives and decided that he was in-| telligent enough to know better than to abandon-his little children.Shives claimed that he —left-—the children with Mrs.Henry Kunkle,a neighbor. This was not true. The children’s ages ranged from Theirmother-was-dead-and-Shives-had-mar= ried_a_second_time.._Shives—and_hiswife‘went to Davie county and left the children.The older ones beingtoosmalltotakepropercareofthe baby,it was badly burned while they were alone.Mrs.Kunkle learned oftheconditionofthechildrenandsheandotherkind-hearted.neighbors}; took charge of them and called the attention.of the,mayor and the po- lice.to their condition.Chief of Po- lice Kerr secured homes for two of the children and the others were later vlaced in homes.One man,a good sitizen,who-has—-one-of-the little thildren,dgsires to adopt it.Judge Long,in publicly acknowledging the thanks of himself and all good citi- zens to Mrs.Kunkle and others who went to the rescue of the destitute and-abandoned children,expressed the hove that homes with good neople could be found for all the children, saving that there would be no diffi- ~multv if anybody wanted to adont anyof_them._His_honor.clearly —showed his impatience with Shives,who de- served all he got.He said his only regret was that a part of Shives’ earnings as a prisoner could not be applied to the support of the chil ttt tention of the county commissioners to the case. ‘Shives seemed to have no concep- tion of the enormity of his offencc and seemed entirely undisturbed when he’heard his sentence of 18 months on the roads.His wife was not pres- ent in court.He was arrested soon after the case of abandonment came to light and put in jail,but was later released on bond:He went to Davir county,where -he remained until court,and returned for trial.This fact and his apparent insensibility to feel ing for his children.would ~indiczte that.he isn’t mentally strong,but he isn’t so weak-minded that he shoul not have realized‘his responsibility: and his punishment.will doubtlesshelphim-to more fully realize that in the future.

Thy.sons,oh school,have journeyed far‘Neath sun and moon and laughing star. Their feet have tracked untrodden ways, Have seen new lands through that strangehaze That hangs o'er purple mountains bare— There they have had Adventure'’s fare. Thy sons are they,through this strange day, Who have moulded beauty from common clay. And where Commerce,.in clash and strife,Throbs through the throbbing veins of life,They are found in the foremost van,Proud of thee and true to man. They sit where the press roars to the dawn To flash the news of a day just gone,To carry wide and carry far* The threnody of peace and war,They lay the ribboned lines of steelYortheswifttrans-continental wheelTothunderoninitsmadraceWithTime,to bridge a\nation's space. And where cathedral spires uprise In pride and joy to God's blue skies, Some of thy sons,oh school,have trod,And they ,tell a ,world of the living God.

How Editor Crowson Lost a Subscriber and Some Remarks on Editorial Experience. To the Editor of The Landmark: The notice of the accidental killing of.Sheriff Allison’s fine dog reminds me of my father’s experience in giv- ing notice of the death of a very fine dog,while in the newspaper business at Morganton.Col.Tate had a very fine dog to die and my father gave the dog rather a lengthy notice in his paper.In a few days after the no- tice of the deceased dog was publish- ed,a subscriber came -in-and-rather angrily requested that his paper be discontinued...My father,anxious to know what had happened to cause ——such_a_sudden discord in the mind ofhissubscriber,asked for his reason for stopping the paper.The man said, “Why,Wist Tate’s d—d old dog died last week and you give half column notice of it.My child died the same:mathe eedayand’you didn’t mention it.So’yy White in South Carolina.|please -stop-my paper.” SAMUEL T.CROWSON. Taylorsville,N.C. Of course Editor Crowson didn’t know about the child’s death and had no intention of givins the dog promi- nence over the child,but he would never have been able to make his irate subscriber believe that he had not purposely—ignored the -child’sdeath™ while mentioning the dog.In this matter Editor Crowson suffered the trouble known to all editors.The ed- itor publishes what he thinks will in- terest his readers,but of course not all of them agree with his judgment at all times.Individuals interested in _some particular thing think every- body is as interested as they are and can’t understand why the things in which they are interested are not giv- en much prominence.The editor,with his experience as a guide,must ap- portion these matters as best he can to the varied tastes of the reading public;and people who can’t under- stand why the things they want to see in the paper are not mentioned or made more prominent,must remem- *ber that there are others.The most trying experience of all,however,is the omission of things which the newspaper folks would be glad to print if they knew about them.But being.neither omniscient nor omni- present,they naturally miss some More Holidays and Pay Days. C.M.Griffith announces his candi- dacy for the Legislature in Davidson county.In his platform of about a cee in the Lexington Dispatch, the fifth plank appeals to The Land-:|‘mark.Here it is:‘ |“f have always thought and still \think that there should be one other ‘day besides Sunday as a day for rec- |reation.I shall,if elected,do all in “my power to have the Legislature de- ‘clare Wednesday of each week a uni- versal day for recreation and allow each and every man to hunt,fish or _play cards,according to the dictates ‘of his own conscience,or other valua- |ble consideration.JI am in favor imaking all days except Wednesdays ;and Sundays pay days.I am also in ‘favor of higher wages and lighter work.In fact,fellow-voters,I am for everything and anything that is conducive to ease,comfort and con- Lerything that-is lable to produce in-|digestion or colic.” |Glory to Candidate Griffith.He de-i;serves to be elected. 4{ mark from Prosperity,8S.C.,Rev.J. {Meek White,a former pastor in this county,says: “My son and daughter,Paul and Lois,graduated from Winwood last Tuesday and are now at home for the summer.Our high school here will be out this week.Commencement sermon next Sabbath.We all like our new home very much.It is near the old home of the late Rev.J.C. Boyd,when he was pastor here.I have two congregations with three preaching stations.I am_getting along very well with my work.I will be installed here on third Sabbath of ‘June (D.V.).We all wish you per- isonally and all our friends in North Carolina and’The Landmark well,and |Would like very much to see you all. |“May the blessing of God rest up- Fon the churches we served in Iredell }so long and upon all our friends in ithe county.” |Brandeis’Confirmation is |ommended. The Senate judiciary committee has recommended confirmation of the nom-lination of Louis D.Brandeis to the |Supreme Court by a strict party vote '—.&to 10—-all the Democrats voting |for confirmation’and all the Repub- \licans against it.

An elaborate report explaining the $241,000,000 naval appropriation billwassubmittedtotheHouseof.Gon- gress by the naval committee.At the same time the Republican mem- bers of the committee joined in a mi- nority report,attacking the measure -as—inadequate—and—demanding that Congress provide for a navy ranking| second among the world’s fighting forces on the sea.The bill,which authorizes a build- ing programme for next year,includ- ing _five-great_battle-cruisers,-is to-be; taken up in the House next Monday or Tuesday under a special rule lim- iting debate and providing for a final vote before the end of the week.All opposition to the measure is expected to come from the Republican side,as the building programme is a compro- mise in which the so-called big and little navy Democrats agreed. A provision that may cause consid- erable discussion would empower the President atthe close of the present war to invite all:world powers to a conference for the purpose of organ- izing an international tribunal for settlement of disputes and discuss dis- armament,and would provide that if before the bill’s appropriations are contracted for competitive armaments should be rendered unnecessary,ex- penditures ineonsistent-with any en- gagements entered into might be sus- pended by presidential order.An item of.$200,000 is included for expenses incident to the proposed conference.RRR The Republican Convention.

En route to the Sanatorium Mavri- kis told those with him that he was tired of living and had tried to kill himself.His act is attributed to ill health and worry over it. Mavrikis was attending schoel in Greece but-had to give up his studies on account of failing health.About four years ago he came to Savannah, Ga.,and ran a bar there until three weeks ago,when he came to States- ville.He was a cousin of Chas.Bi- kas by marriage and spent his three weeks while here,at Bikas’restau-rant and hotel.~He was 23 years old and has two brothers in Savannah.

The State Christian.Endeavor Gon-verition meets in Charlotte Friday, sagainst STATESVILLE,N.Cc,TUEISDAY,MAY :cs PRESIDENT TALKS ©PEACE, He Announces a Peace Creed, Not a Programme. Speaking before a meeting of the League to Enforce Peace,in Washing- ton Saturday night,President Wilson declared that the United States was ready to join in any feasible associa- tion of nations to preserve the peace of.the world against “political ambi- tion and selfish hostility”.and in ser- vice of “a common order,a common justice and a common peace.”He ex- pressed the hope that the terms of peace which end,the war would in- clude such an arrangement. Outlining suggestions for peace, which the President said he hoped the United States would make if it had opportunity to do so,he included.pro- vision for absolute freedom of the seas,a contention which has been the keystone.of all the diplomatic discus-|¢ sion with Germany and Great Brit- ain,and virtual guarantees of terri- torial integrity and political independ- ence. “T am sure,”said the President, “that the people of the United States would wish ‘their government to move along these lines: “Kirst,such a settlement with:re- gard to their ewn immediate inter- ests as the belligerents may agree up- on.We have nothing material of any kind to ask for.ourselves,and are quite aware that we are in’no senseordegréeparties’to the present quarrel.Our interest is only in peace and its future guarantees. “Second,an universal association of the nations to maintain the invio- late security of the highway of the seas for the common and unhindered use of all the nations of the world, and to prevent any war begun either contrary to treaty covenants or with- out warning and full submission *‘of the causes to the opinion of the world —a virtual guarantee of territorial integrity-and political independence.” _The ‘fundamentals of a lasting peace,President Wilson said he be- lieved,were: “First,that every people has a right to choose the sovereignty under which they shall live.Like other na- tions,”the President said,“we have ourselves no doubt once and again of- fended against that principle when for alittle while controlled by —selfish nassion,as our franker historians have been honorable enough to ad- mit;but-it has become more and more our rule of life and action. “Second,that the small Statés of the world have a right to enjoy the same respect for their sovereignty and for their territorial integrity that great and powerful nations ex- pect and insist upon. “And third.that the world has a right to be free from every disturb- ance of its peace that has its origin in aggression and disregard of —the rights of peoples and nations.” The outstanding lesson of the world war.the President said,had been that the peace of the world must henceforth depend unon “a new and more wholesome :diplomacy.” “If this war has accomplished no- thine else for the benefit of the world.”he said,“it has at least dis- closed a great moral necessity and set forward the thinking of the states- men of the world by a whole ace.Re-| peated utterances of the ~leading statesmen of most of the great na- tions now engaged in war have made it plain that their thought has come to this—that the principle of public right must henceforth take —prece- dence over the individual interests of varticular nations,and that the na- tions of the world must in some wav hand themselves together to see that that right prevails_as —against any sort of selfish aygression:that hence- forth alliance -must not be set up alliance,understanding against understanding,but that there must be 2 common agreement for a common object,and that at the heart of that common object must lie the inviolable rights of _peoples and of mankind.” “So sincerely do we believe in these thines.””said the President in conclus- ion,“that I am sure that I speak the mind and wish of the peovle of Amer- ien when IT say that the United States is-willinge to become a partner in any feasihle association of nations.form- ed in order to realize these obierts and make them secure against viola- tior:” The President fold his hearers he had not come to discuss a programme hut only to avow-a ereed-and give ex= pression to the confidence the worla was approaching a day»when some common foree would be created for “the service of a common order,a common justice and a common peace.’ Mr.French Moves —Ciub—to Have Gymnasium.

FOUR GOTOSTATE PRISON. White Man andThree Negroes tscape Death —Burgin,the White Man,Under Indictment in Iredell. C.B.Burgin,white,Lester,Horne,John Adams and Fred,Wolfe,color- ed,were convicted of second degreemurderinStanlycountySuperior Court.last week...The...white manwasgiventhelimit—30 years—and the negroes25 years each.The men were convicted of themurderofC.B.Cantrell of Winston-Salem.Burgin formerly lived in Winston-Salem and at the time of the murder was at Baden,Stanly county. Cantrell went to Baden to collect an account of $10 which Burgin owed the firm -of which Cantrell was.a member.While Cantrell was-look- ing for Burgin at Baden he was at- tacked by negroes,beaten «pnd rob-bed,and died soon efterward from his injuries. The evidence at the trial showedthatCantrellknewBurgin-was'Idok- ing for him and that.he hired the ne- rroes to waylay him and attack him. They -were to beat and rob‘him and throw his body in the river.“They carried out the contract except-as—to throwing the body in the river.One of the negroes begged that.this benotdone.Cantrell was able to go home but died soon afterward. Feeling was strong ,against the men and the Governur ordered a spe- cial term of court at which they were tried.~The jury’s verdict was a sur- prise,-as-first degree murder -was-ex- pected;and it is evident that justice was cheated when Burgin at least es- caned the death penalty. Burgin was employed by the com- pany that.constructed the Southern Power Co.dam on the’Catawba. While located there he assaulted with a pistol Richard Benfield.The assault was committed April 1,1915.Burgin was hound to court by a magistrate of Shiloh township but was neverbroughttotrialinSuperiorCourt.It is understoed that his bondsman was also a man connected with the con- struction company and.that the de- faulted bond was never collected. Case of Local Interest. Following is the digest of a Su- preme Court decision of local inter- est:“Beck vs.Live Stock Co..and Bass is an action to recover the value ofa] mule.‘It appears that plaintiff scent the mule.to theLive Stock Company for an operation and that Bass was called in and in plaecing.the mule in the stock for the oneration,it was in- jured and died.The Live Stock Co. contended that Bass was not their agent and was a competent veterina- rian and they received nothing for their services.Judgment for $100, “Justice Brown states that there was error in not)submitting an ap- propriate issue to the jury as to whether Bass was the agent of the Live Stock Co.As to Bass,he states. tthere is evidence of negligence and it is immaterial whether the negligence was due to Bass or his employe. Judgement as to Bass.No error.New trial.as to Live Stock Co.” This is the Henkel-Craig Live Stock Co.and Dr.R.A.Bass,veteri- narian,of Statesville.In.this case the Henkel-Craig Co.say that Mr. Jeff.Beck of Hickory sent them _a mule and asked that they —have_it treated.as a matter of accommoda- tion.They had no interest in thematterbuttookthe:mule and turned it over,to Bass for treatment,as.a fa- vor to Beck.The mule was injured and died,suit was brought.and judg- ment for $100 was given -against Bass and the-company jointly.The court affirms the ..judgment as to Bass,but gives a new trial for the company.

In this case the ancestry has some-, thing of which to be proud and con- sidering what ancestry usually has stand for,the News argues that it Should be given credit,in Miss Gra-| ham’s case,“of producing something worth producing.”From that angle The Landmark admits that _the News’point is well taken.But inas-| uch as the boast of ancestry—and| e merits and virtues of the ances- liors.are often much magnified—is asually a discredit to the boasters;| as it is rare that the boasters have approached the merit or distinction ¢laimed for the ancestry and as a re- sult are a discredited when they, oast,The Landmark objected to one ho has gained distinction on meri being hedged about by the ancestry business,on the ground that it was) te to discredit fer own merit. ** The fellow Burgin,who instigated| the killing of a man to whom he éwed $10—and so far as disclosed for he sole reason that the man_was oking for him to try to collect the money—deserved death and justice i cheated when he escaped the lectric chair.The jury returned a erdict of second degree murder hen the evidence seemed to fully! warrant a first degree verdict;and the prisoners themselves were evi- -dently elated over their escape from what they expected and.doubtless felt was their due.The negroes were Ee dupes of the white man and there no criticism here of the second de- gree verdict for them.While we think the jury failed as to Burgin,we are not disposed to criticise the jury.

Hundreds of citizens went to Ovys- ter Bay Saturday in three specig! trains from New York and marched |Saga-from the railroad —station to more Hill,four abreast,to pay their respects to Colonel Theodore Roose- velt and assure him of their support in the event of his nomination for the presidency..The marchers,head- ed bv the Seventh regiment sang “The Army and Navy Foreve*” and other popular airs.Richard M. Hurd,spokesman for the visitors.in addressing Colonel Roos:velt,said: “Lineoln said this nation could not endure half slave and half free.It is equally true,as you have’poftited out,that this nation cannot-now én- dure half-hyphenated and half-Amer- ican.” Colonel Roosevlet,addressing the visitors from the porch of his home, denounced the .hyphenates and de- manded that the countrv.stand for courage and strength.When he had finished the visitors shook hands with him and passed through his house The large porch from which Colonel Roosevelt spoke collapsed at one end while the throng was marching past. Nobody hurt. Presbyterians and-the Sisters. The General Assembly of the South- ern Presbyterian Church,which con- cluded its session at Orlando,Fla. Thursday,refused to alter its decis- ion fixing the status of women in the Church.A_protest which about 50 of the commissioners sought to have entered in the minutes of the Assem- bly,failed in its purpose.\The pro- test resulted from the Assembly granting certain privileges to women in the discretion of congregations, holding that too great latitude was given congregations in ed by a vote of 118 to 69.-Among other things the answer says: “Having expounded the —settled faith of the Church as to the teach-| ings of ‘the Scriptures forbidding preaching by women,the Assembly has wisely decided to leave.the ques- tion of the service of women-in-oth=~ matters to the discretion of the;er sessions,” That is to say,the sisters can’t preach,but the session of any church may allow them to do all the work outside,even to exhorting and leading in prayer.

Adverting to the fact that the State-wide primary next Saturday; “offers the individual voters the op-| ipertunity to help select the ‘dates who will represent the people fin the affairs of government,the State Journal makes ,this pertinent, is a qobservation: Mr.Voter,it is now up to you.If -vou believe in democracy,if you want| to govern yourself,you have the op-: portunity.You have had ample ‘time to form an intelligent opinion as to the qualifications of the candidates, éand you will have all day to go to the polls'and register your choice,with- tout let or hindrance from any man.
