Six American Lives Lost—Sub- marine Issue Comes Up Again. .So far the loss of life by the sink-}ing of the British steamship Marina,has not been deéfinitely stated, According to the last report sixericanswerelostand51Ameri-cans rescued,One of the Americans-unaccounted for ‘is George SedburyofNorthCarolina, One report says:“The Marina,with a cargo’of whiskey from.Glas- gow .to Baltimore,was struck by atorpedo,without warning,on thestarboardsideoffSkellings.Rock at 4.14 .o’clock Saturday morning,andsankinafewminutes.’A.secondtorpedostruckthe‘port side of the vessel about 10 minutes after the first.‘,All Americans aboard were mem- bers of thecrew rexcept one,a pas-senger named Middleton of Freder- icksburg,Md.,who was drowned,and two stowaways,who ‘also’weredrowned.The submarine watchedourboatsforhalfairhourandof-fered no assistance,”Germany has been asked for in-formation as to.the sinking of theMarina.and if it appears,after alltheinformationisgathered,that the vessel was sunk without warning,in violation of Germany’s agréement as to submarine warfare,serious re-sults may follow.It is said,howev- er,that the Marina was armed andthatthe.vessel had been in the serv-ice of the British admiralty.Thismaychangethesituationifthere-port proves correct.While they .await full details,two outstanding facts attract the atten-tion of the Washington officials.Onewasthe“fnnouncement that the Ma- rina was armed with a 4.7-ineh gun mounted--astern;the other was anewsdispatchfromLondonthelan- guage of which was regarded as sig-nificant..It said: “It is regarded here as quite prob- State De- partment will make still further in- quiries with the object of definitelydeterminingthestatusoftheMari-na.While it is-said that she was un-der private charter when she was torpedoed,it appears that the vessel may.have engaged in admiralty work not long before.” This was generally construed as reflecting some indications of doubt in.London over whether the ship was entitled to the immunities of apeacefulmerchantman.The United States,however,nover has_altered its.policy of regarding ,merchantships,temporarily in admiralty serv-ice as merchant ships still,unlesstheyhavebeenactuallytakenoverbyabelligerentnavyand.mannedwithanavalcrew. Secretary Lansing -has made following.announcement:“The fact that a political campaign is in progress will in no way affect the practice of the department in negotiating and in making full in- vestigation of cases of this sort.We the “shall do’it as we always have with as much‘¢telerity as possible.“I wish also to make anotherwhichhas been brought to my attention.The question has been raised as to wheth- er the policy of the President or thedepartmentinregardtosubmarine warfare!’since the Sussex was sunk nas been changed.I wish to say em- phatically that there has been no .change in any particular.” Viivits Seo: steamer Rowanmore, from Baltimore “for Liverpdol,two Americans aboard,was~’sunk last week by a submerine.The steamer attempted to escape from the under- sea boat,but the Jattcr continued to shell the ship after she stoffped.ac- cording to affidavits from members of the crew procured by the Amcri- can congil at Liverpooy.The erman submarine U-53, which sunk five ships off the New England coast a few weeks ago,has returned to a German port,accord- ing to a story from Berlin.

When she lived in North Carolina ten years ago she never dreamed, perhaps,that she would live to cast a ballot for President of the United States;but stranger things have hap- pened and are likely to happen,even in conservative old,Tarheelia,if thiswomanmovementkeepsup.” Mrs.Crater.was for several years a resident of Statesville and many of the older residents remember her.

Campaign Donations By North Carolina Democrats and Re- publicans —Collector Watts Gave $250.— Washington Dispatch to GreensboroNews.— The report of receipts and expen-ditures by the Democratic and Re- publican campaign committees, which has been filed with the chiefclerkoftheHouse,is an interesting document./ -For instance,the report of _the Republican committee \up to thepresenttimeshows~that suchmen as John M.Morehead of Charlotte,national committeeman for the StateofNorthCarolina;J.Elwood Cox:o High Point.Ike Meekins of:Eliza- beth City,Dan Patrick,Judge By- num of Greensboro,Frank A..Linney of Boone,Clarence Call of *Wilkes- boro,George Brown o7 Statesville, and Gilliam Grisson:of Greensboro, Republican candidate for Congress, contributed $10 each.It-is-possible that.some of these gentlemenvhavemademoreliberalcontributionsbythis”time,but the report now on file shows only $10 to about a hundred more.prominent North Carolina publicans,among them the above mentioned gentlemen.The Democrats—in-the State have been more liberal.Even formerGovernorRobertB.Glenn of Wins- ton-Salam,who has the best job, that is,more money for the work he does,than any other vJorth Carolin- ian in the government service,cameacross.liberally.‘The Governor is credited with giving $500 to’help re-elect his old schoolmate and friend,while Josephus Danicls is down for a cool thousand dollars.R.J.Reyn- olds of.Winston-Salem is the largest contributor.He gave $10,000;Hugh MacRaé of Wilmington $2,000,R.R.

Favor Hughes Because They Think He'll Heip Their Busi-ness.— El Paso,Texas,Correspondence Ral- eigh News and Observer. A few nights ago in the CrawfordtheatreinElPaso,Major Wade Phil- lips,Third regiment,and two orthreefriendsweresittingcloseto- gether.A prosperous-looking man wedged in and sat down.There was a wait for the curtain to go up and a_conversation started:We learned quickly that this prosperous man.was a cattle-buyer;that he had beenoperatingbelowtheRioGrandefor 15 years;that he was a Democrat, but intended to vote for Hughes. Major Phillips’favorite question is“Why”?and-he shot it at this manthreeorfourtimesinquicksucces- sion.The man’s -answers.explain-ing that he had profited hugely by cattle deals with Mexican powers and that.he had made more money trading with Villa than with any oth-er Mexican;that he disliked Wilson because Wilson failed to recognize Villa and had not sent the army into Mexico to protect his mining and cattle interests.That’s what’s the matter with allofthem.In one way or another,thedisordersbelowthelnehave brought thom financial loss or have threatened financial loss,and being perfectly human and:humanly self- ish,they put their own welfare ahead of the welfare of their hundred mil- lions of brothers. A little bit of a soldier boy fram the Second North Carolina pulled a stunt in an El]Paso cafe two nightsagothatoughttoputhisnameinprint,but he faded into the crowd so auick that he couldn’t be spotted. Two civilians were arguing aboutWilson. men of physical manhood,was con- tending that Wilson was a coward and that the whole administrationpolicywascowardlyandthatitwasanationaldisgracetoleaveallthis fine border country et the mercy of Mexican bandits.His idea,vocifer- ously expressed,was to wade across the Rio Grande and wipe ’em all out.The little soldier,just over the minimum weight limit,piped’up: “Say,mister,I don’t see you wear-in’no uniform!” That remark stonped the =argu- ment and in the burst of derision that followed,red of face and badly confused,he slipped out of the crowd.

The people own the government. It is the business of those who direct the government to serve all the peo- ple,not a few.The record shows that Mr.Wilson has endeavored to serve all the people,not a few.If the people show by their votes next Tuesday that they don’t care fo*’that sort of service,then Mr.Wilson’s successor will take that as evidence —that it is to his and his party’s in- terest to look out for special groups, for those who appreciate service, not.

Correspondence of The Tiandmark, Yaichowfu,Shantung _Province,China,Sept.23,1916 —With little| knowledge of real ‘conditions in heathen lands,the average citizen North Carolina hardly,realizes the great advantages enjoyed by him in the protection of his préperty and personal rights.As do many of the people,so did a poor widow come to me today,asking for»help.She Wanted me to help her recover her donkey,which had been stolen dur- ing the night.People in western lands often wonder why Chinese of- ten keep their hogs,chickens or even sometimes a donkey,in the same house in which they live.But there ix a reason-for this.For protection from thieves and robbers,most vil- lages have walls around them,and every house and «yard is thus —pro- tected with a wall almost twice the height of a man,but even thése are} insufficient. This widow,with her three chil- dren,lives in a two-reom house ad- joining ‘the school compound,and there was no room inside for the donkey,she had built a small shed just outside her window.A donkey is to a Chinese most valuable and ex- pensive..Though costing only about $10 American moncy,the man_who :‘ean afford two or more such animals ‘eae considered rich,so poor is the av- erage Chinese.{ During the night the-woman had twice gone out into the wind and rain to see whether her animal was | safe,for ‘thieves take advantage of | stormy nights to steal anything they| can get their hands on;but just be- fore daylight our neighbor found that her donkey had been taken and ‘pave the alarm.The thief had climbed the wall,unfastened the gate from the inside and led the don- key away.The poor woman was wnem@isteessed beyond measure.I asked| her if she had reported the matter) to the authorities,but before my sen-| tence was finished I.realized that| would do no good.Her animal was gone and all,we could do was help| her hire,;a man to search for him,but werejgure that would be in vain,as it wast>. Cases of this kind oceur almost daily.Sometimes holes are dug through fhe walls,or even into the howses,and,the mule or donkey is stolen ‘during the hight.The offi- cials give no protection whatever dand.no effort is made to apprehend the.thief,for only the wealthy are ‘able to pay for this.See to what dis- advantage the people are put. | ‘ || t i oD Just now the crops are being har-| vested...Nearly every family does more or less farming,whether farm- er,merchant,artisan or teacher.The fields are now dotted with small mat sheds,under each of which i a eS In these beds the men lie@&s/hey watch {their crops at night—During ‘+the day every patch of millet,corn, beans oF peas has some one standing nearby to see that none is stolen. On account of this all the day schools have to be closed,the chil- dren being kept at ome to help guard the crops. can be heard in all you might think a battle was ~*in fe.progress somewhere,but the few -~--who can afford to buy guns and pay -wmethe—tax—required for owning fire- arms,are firing them as a warning; and even then men crawl up into the fields and steal the growing grain, pulling it up roots and all.From the time sweet potatoes begin*™to get large enough to eat some one must guard them every night to their being dug up.One chief requisite for a home or place of business is the “kan men di” -xsome one to watch the gate day and night.Each family must watch its own premises and possessions.Noonedaretrusthisneighbor.When anything has been stolen there is lit- tle chance of recovering it.No word can be passed into the magistrate except by payment of %good bribe to the gate-keeper at the yamen a 4 directions and cM tify for whoever pays them most; then the magistrate mus:nave a goodba J SR S er s Ey .

John Barrett Saw Nothing to Indicate End of War but Eng- land and France Are Prepar- ing to Take Care of Their Commerce. A statement ‘issued by John ‘Bar- rett,director general of the Pan- American Union,who has recently returned from a special trip to Eng- lland and France to study the Euro- pean viewpoint:of the —influence of lthe war upon Pan-American |com- |merce,‘eives a summary of the re¢- port which hé ‘has prepared,While labroad he conferred with leading of- 'ficials and representative _financiers nufacturers connected wit trade,being afforded every ‘facility in his investigations by both /government and private interests.By invitation of the British and French authorities he also spent a week a ithe battlefront in France,from Ver- /dun to the Somme.The report reach- les the following conelusions.of con- cern to the commercial and financial interests of the United States and Latin-America. 1.Not.a government..official,bank- er or general business man,or.any army officer,would express a posi- tive opinion as to the duration or end of the war,except that’the majority plainly believed’that it would last well into 1918,or even lenger. 2.A most powerful semi -official organization and movement has been’quietly,but effectively,started in both England and France,not only /to make now an extraordinary effort to maintain their present trade with ‘the Americans and regain what may have been lost during the first two years of the war,but to prepare ‘ahead for a greater effort after the iwar in building up this trade than \they ever made before. |3.Under conditions which amount to encouragement and almost to ac- tual government aid,a large variety jof industries heretofore little devel- loved.and hence figuring slightly in ‘the foreign trade of these countries, are being rapidly developed and will ‘surely play a prominent part in their ‘future commerce and in competition lwith the United States and othef countries. 4.A yast practical army of very skilled,but reasonably paid labor, is being trained and developed all ‘over Great Britain and France in the |form of women workers,who will in- ‘crease immensely the efficiency of manufacture and the volume of out- ;put of foreign commerce,despite the loss of male#and skilled labor result- ing from the war. jand ma|foreign ' | COO «vai vs ee aVIN Tad *sietneenee“t AOTANT OUR BOYS ON THE PORDE R a |Sergt.Millsaps Tells About the|Trip to Texas and Life in Camp There.WN To the Eattor of The Landmark:It mayinterest some of the friends \of the boys on the border .to hear jsomething of their every day life, i|from an ex-member of that happy |jlittle family known as Gompan E |We left Camp Glenn,N.C.,Seber26th,and reached Fort Bliss,Texas,September 30th.Now -this;may seem like a pleasure trip,but if vou can imagine yourself staying of|the train-all this time and having’to;‘face cold “corned beef and hard tack”|[three times a day,you have a pretty|good pidture of our position.The | /food,after we reached camp,was all| that could ‘be expected,thereforewe|soon forgot the hardships of the| trip.

DFRICE 120 WAT BROAD’STREET. UBSCRIPTION Tit -November 8,1916, TT AND THE POLL TAX. here.was somewhat of’a commo- tion Yown Charlotte-way,a few days before the election,when the Repub- jicans published a page advertisement in the Charlotte Observer giving a list of voters in Charlotte township who had paid their poll tax on or be- fore May,1st,as required by the con- stitution.»The.constitution provides that,all voters liable to poll tax,who do not pay the tax on or before May 1st of the year when an election oc- cursj'are disqualified as ¢lectors for that year,or for any other election year in which the poll tax is not_paid at the time specified, The-list published*by~the Republi- cans was,sworn to by the sheriff as| y “a true and perfect copy of the} ‘names of all persons who have paid their poll tax up to and through May 1,1916,in’Charlotte township for the year 1915.”The list contained 1,776 ‘names,while the registration hooks showed 5,771.The Republi- cans charged that more,than 2,000 webs illegally -registered through failure to.pay poll tax;and _they threatened:that they would keep a record and’prosecute all illegally registered who attempted to vote. The Democrats arswered that the Republicans were attempting intim- idation;and they .claimed—-that 1 was a list of voters who had qualified by paying poll tax not cov- ered ‘in the sheriff’s affidavit (which was_very careless of the sheriff); that this list and thosé over the poll tax age and those who had moved in oy reached voting age since poll taxes were listed for 1915,about made up the list of registered voters.That heing so there was nothing to be aiwripned-about.and no voter legally jalified need have been concerned ut the threats of the Republicans. The Republicans of course were t’moved to this course by any de- re for the purity of the ballot box. hey thought they saw an opportuni- ‘to cut out a few thousand voters Charlotte and Mecklenburg and de- fat.Congressman Webb,by spring- g thé proposition on the eve of the ection,and it must be said that ieee made a rather embarrassing lowing.on the face of the facts.If ite Democrats lost anything in the low down,which we hope they did t,they have themselves to blame. *The Landmark has recited these things to express the hope that out of this incident may grow a move- pent that will compel the rigid ob- ervance of the poll-tax provision of ¢constitution,or its repeal.This y ats_in the face of Republican oppo- @tion;and it does,not lie in the «tfouths of Democrats to complain of i if it is enforced to their hurt.It ‘@ ‘ggod and proper provision and Bhopldsbe enforced,but If ‘The Land- ark is:correctly informed,so far irom being enforced it has been firgely nullified,through evasion or by agreement.In some counties thgdominantparty,with a sheriff’in Peers of the tax books,nullifies the ad povision in one way or another,and “.in*other~counties it-is ignored by dgréement of -both parties.So the repofts go and we think an examina- ion “would show that such conditions exist. .All:of which is wrong.Neither a ¢enstitutional provision nor any other law can be properly nullified by evasion or ignored by agreement. Mainly on the Democrats,who enact- @d°‘this ©provision,falls the duty of_ving up to it and seeing that it is lived up to.If they fail to do that, it |will-certainly return:to”“Plaguetheisometime,as it seems to have thteaterted to do in Mecklenburg,and they will have themselves to blame if they.suffer in consequence. Mr.Gilliam Grissom,the Republi-+ can congressional candidate in the: fifth district,raised a storm about Gréensboro in the last days of the cethbaign by trying to use the Junior Ordér for political purposes,Grissom beink a member of that order.Some Of the Juniors resented it and were ‘prothpt to say so.The politicians as a rule join about all the orders and ‘most of them join with the distinctidéa‘that it will be a help-to-them when they are candidates—that the brethren of the orders will stay by ém—hnd sometimes some of them Gouibtless get help just that way,al- ‘though the orders may eschew poli- “sas ‘an organization.Grissom geems.to have been a little “raw”in ushing’the matter.He had no right tee expect support from Democratic “~ L a Juniors any more than Democrats expect support from Repub- fe Juniors, -“Itold you so!”“I knew it all the time!”is what they'll be saying this A nd.tiow Cuba wants to collect our x bonds.”They'll keep.on P 7 tree m repudiated bonds —until we'll have ’em to pay,and then we'll hear something drop, This “page of The Landmark closes before the election returns,are in, a first page tells the story and ve're hoping.that story is.the-one The Landmark would want told. The campaign in the tenth,which was a trifle warm,closed in a rather peppery .controversy between Gov, Craig and :Congressman Britt,in which there were svme_intimations that facts had been.carelessly han- dled, They worked Gov.-elect Bickett— that’s what he is today—up to the last minute.He started out in the campaign—wisely—to take care of himself—but his speeches were such masterpieces that the calls for him were many and the work increased, He spoke at Newton Monday and at Gastonia Monday night,and then had to go across thé State to his home in Louisburg to vote yesterday. |A A ENSMOHELATONES The Landmark is directing the at- tention of its reade.s to the appeal of the-orphanage publicity commit- tee,that all our people give the in- conie of -one day—-the proceeds of one day’s work—to the support of the orphan children of the State— the gift to‘be made about Thanks- giving.All readers of this paper are urged to read that statement carefull¥al The Landmark can add nothing to strengthen it but it en- dorses every word. People-do so many fool things in a ‘campaign.That crowd at New Haven,Conn.,that howled ex-Presi- dent Taft down was guilty of the worst sort of manners,The fact that the man speaking had _been President of the United States en- titled him to a respectful hearing,no matter how much the audience op- posed his views.But this exhibition was neither so serious nor so shame- less as ex-President Roosevelt’s vic- ious attacks on President Wilson. Roosevelt knew better and his exam- ple prompted just suct outbreaks as that at New Haven. Now that the election is over,let’s concentrate attention on the things that will help:Statesville and Iredell county.The Landmark doesn’t want to start another campaign too early, but what about a business manager for Statesville,beginning next spring?This matter was pretty, well threshed jut two years ago and it was generally agreed that the busi- ness manager was the.proper thing and should be put on.At a_public meeting called to consider the propo- sition,it was unanimously endérsed. But we haven’t the business manag- er.If you believe that’s a good idea, now’s the time to begin talking it. Mr.A.A.Shuford,prominent cit- izen~-and-manufacturer of ~Hickory, always a Democrat,was not pleased with some of the legislation enacted by the present administration and said so,whereupon the report was circulated—doubtless by Republicans for effect—that Mr.‘Shuford was weak on Wilson.To set the rumor at rest Mr.Shuford,a few days before the election,published a card saying that he was supporting the entire Democratic ticket,as he always had done.Thereupon some of the papers announced that Mr.Shuford had “come out for Wilson,”which left the impression that he had been a wanderer and was returning to the fold.As a matter of fact,as The Landmark understands it,Mr.Shu- ford “hadn’t gone nowheres”and did- n’t have to come back.} Major J.-G.Baird of Charlotte, whose son,J.G.Baird,Jr.,was one of the Americans aboard the Marina, the.British”vesselrecently “sunk byatorpedo,in which six American lives were lost,has recetvea a letter from his son,written three days be- fore ‘the Marina was sunx,in which this statement is made:“The ship making the return triptoAmericawilldeparteitherSundaytof‘this week,or not later than Wed-nesday of next week.As yet the ship has not unloaded the cargo from America.Guns are now being mounted aft and forward for defen- sive purposes,The German subma- rines operatine at present on the American coast make mounting guns a necessity.About four gunners will be required for the same.” Young Baird was among the res- cued.‘ |House |Entered andMail Boxes Robbed.: Two serious crimes were commit- ted in Greensboro between midnight Saturday night’and 7 o'clock Mon- day ‘morning,and one man is held asasuspect,says the Greensboro News.The crimes consisted of breakingandenteringahome-near Pomona and the breaking open and rifling ofseven‘mail boxes of the UnitedStates.The police believe it proba.ble that one and the same man rifledthemailboxesandbrokeintotheKirkmanhomeatPomo:z,where hefrightenedayoungMissKirkmanattheweirdhourof3 o’clock Sundaymorning.'A ‘man who gave his name as Jo-seph.A.Davinter and who says he is ¥mino +City.

And both ‘sides have done ‘their share of the shouting in*States-;Lackey 182,Hines|ville;and it will be remembered ‘as an|74,Blankenship 96. unusual event of the 1916 election 6|that each side thought it had won,at liams 161 different times,-and rejoiced accord- ingly.The Democrats shouted last. uesday evening the returns so clearly indicated the election of Hughes that many Democrats went home early,having lost interest,and When the returns showed that Hughes had carried New York,Illinois and Indiana and NewJersey,States that ‘generally elect Presidents,few Dem- ocrats took the pains to figure on the result.They considered all lost. The Republicans looked at the returns in the same light and rejoiced might- ily.' Along about midnight the returns indicated that all was not over,but most Democrats thought the Demo- cratic managers were simply dying hard and their drooping spirits were not revived by the claims of the the national tommitteg.All ‘the New York papers had conceded the elec- tion of Hughes and they were sup- posed to know.It was in the light of these returns that The Landmark, printed at 7 o’clock Wednesday morn- ing,conceded the election of Hughes. But alittle later,when the tele- graph wires got to:work,reports came that it was probably Wilson and the’Democrats began to perk up. Some of them boldly and brazenly affirmed that they knew it all along, but all were so pleased that nobody stopped to call the boasters. About 9 o’clock Wednesday morn- ing a telegram to The Landmark5|from Mr.H.E.C.Bryant at Wash- ington stated that the |returns.indi- cated the election of Wilson—and the Democratic boys began to shout. other sources wereconfirmatoryand_the shouting in- creased.A great crowd gathered on the sidewalk in front of the place of business of the Wallace Bros.Com- pany,on Center street,and gave full reign to their joy.Later an auto- truck was pressed into service and as many shouting Democrats as could stick on rode about town on the “band wagon,”closing the dem- onstration at the square. While the bulletins showed that the result was not fully determined, and about night they indicated more doubt,the excited Democrats put onasecondjollificationWednesdayeve-| ning,with a band and:automobile parade.:Conservative Democrats warned the enthusiasts that they might be shouting too soon and urg- ed them to wait,but the boys just had to “holler.”They had gone through the agony of defeat..the night before and endured the jeers of Republicans,and they,were deter-amined to turn the tables,even if they took chances®on having to eat a double portion of crow in the end. Yesterday was comparatively auviet until builetins favorable to Wilson began coming in late after- noon.The tumult and the shouting began again end:increased with fer- 'vor as the good news was more and confirmed.Last night fire- popped,bells rung and there was much shouting and auto joy-riding.If it is settled,as it seems to be,the boys say they’ll have a real jollification tonight.The Republicans who did their shouting Tuesday night,were much taken aback by the unexpected turn of events Wednesdav morning.They professed not to believe it,but they were sick all the same.— more crackers were Saw Mill Burned.

In the Senate four p-esent Demo- cratic members,according:‘to |the latest indications,hav.been deféated.They are Senators Kern and Tag- gart of Indiana,Martine of New Jer- sey and Chilton of West Virginia.Three Republican Senators,Lippitt of Rhode Island,Clark of Wyoming and Sutherland of Utzh, their seats on the basis of the returns.

Why not sometimes say the last of.the week,or the latter part of theweek,or -Friday and Saturday,ifthosearethedaysmeant?“Practi- cally”and»“approximately”have been worn out by reporters,fromthoseoftheAssociatedPressdown.When an-automobile is run_into some other object would it not bepossibletosaysomethingotherthan‘crashed ‘into’’? areless writers have yrallen into‘the habit of saying,“Mr.and Mrs.Jones and family”;this makes onlythechildrenthe“family,”whereasMr.and Mrs,Jones are also part ofthefamily,even if unimportant thesedays.Say Mr.Jones and family,orMr.and Mrs.Jones and children.*Rev.Smith”is strictly the lingo of;the:colored brother.If you don’tknowBrotherSmith’s initial say“Rev.Mr.Smith.” ‘A favorite error of some newspa- per writers on the daily press is what is .kno as the “suspended partici-ple,”thys:“While walking down street this morning a runaway horse nearly ran over Mr.Johnson.”Thismeansthatthehorsewas.walkingdownthestreetatthesametimehe was running away,whereas the writer means to say that while Mr.Johnson was walking down the streethewasnearlyrunover.,'“Well-filled baskets”has become a nyisance,that is the expression,not the baskets.A Union county picnic basket is likely to have enough in it.So.let’s say the “public is invited tobyingbaskets.”“The Journal invites The Landmark to camment on the foregoing,which it does with some hesitation,as_its own sins are many.| .“Week-end”is a convenience.It) is generally used instead of Saturday| “anid Sunday and is not literally cor-| rect when so used,Sunday being the} first day of the week.But it is a gaving of.time and space to say “week-end”rather than Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday or the Jast of the week,and as such The Landmark finds it unobjectionable. ‘Neither can this paper get along, without “practically”and “approxi-/Carpet-bagger Played Darkies. mately”because of the many things| about which we cannot be exact,and those words fill the bill in such cases, unless Dr.Beasley can suggest oth- ers.that take no more space.| /“Crashed into”might be varied oc- casionally by the use of other words that.would convey the same meaning| or better describe the situation. “In‘the days agone the man was considered the whole show in talking about’the family and many writers yet say “Mr.Jongy The Landmark intists that Mrs. Jones is as important,if not more important,than the old man,there- fore it,would say Mr.and Mrs.Jones and children;or if uncertain whether there were one or more children,or none,it might vary the form to cov- er-the ground.The Journal’s criti- _cism of the form—“Mr.and Mrs. Jones and family”—is,however,well founded. The Landmark is in hearty agree- ment with the Journal that “Rev.So and So”is an abomination.It is copying literally the lingo of.the col- ored folks and should not be allowed to pass.Put it “Rev.Mr.So and So” if you don’t know the initials.Neith- er is Reverends right,if we are cor- rectly informed,in speaking of more than”one minister.It should be ‘Rev.Messrs.,but few.papers put it that way.

The “well-filled baskets”have both- ered this paper often,but if you sim- ply say “bring baskets”the baskets| could be brought empty and the ‘command fulfilled.However,if the Journal will find a way to choke off the folks who still insist on saying “the table groaned beneath its weight of good things,”The Landmark will follow its lead as to the baskets.

Only the older citizens remembered the crime.Some weeks ago an old man from the far West,visiting in the French Broad valley,was recog- nized as the escaped murderer.The authorities were notified and an ef- fort made to capture him but before the officers reached the scene the old man pd departed for his Western home.,When’he reached it he was soon informed that a telegram to the sheriff had preceded him and that he was wanted back in Carolina to an- swer to the charge of murder com.| ‘mitted nearly five decades ago.Al this is written simply to emphasize the old Bible truth that we should always be sure our sins will find us out... Our sins will find us out all right, but punishment by human agencies adequate punishment at least—for taking human life in North Carolina is about’as uncertain as anything cari be.The record of homicides and the history of the disposition of the cases-is the proof of this assertion.| The Advocate was unfortunate in the selection of an illustration.The old man mentioned not only escaped arrest in North Carolina,but he found a haven of refuge in_his adopted State.The Governor of that Stata,refused to honor a requisition for him and he will never be brought to trial in the courts.Moreoter,it is said if he were brought to trial it is.doubtful if he could be convicted, as the witnesses are about all dead. Consider,.too,the numerous cases of homicide in this State,where the perpetrators either escape entirely or suffer only imprisonment.It isn’t worth while to go into the discus- sion of individual cases.They are Mit- crally “too numerous to mention.” The record shows that— There is nothing more uncertain in North Carolina than adequate pun- ishment for murder.

Suggestion ForFor Better Man-| agement of County Affairs. To the Editor of The Landmark: In the Wednesday issue of your pa- -/per you say editorially,“Now that the eléction is over,lct’s concentrate at- tention on the things that will helpStatesvilleandIredeilcounty.”That'safineidea.Why not do that samething?Then you ask why not start to-get.ready.fora basiness managerforStatesville.That is good,and since thepropo- sition is for both Statesville and Ire- dell county,why*not get ready to have a’business manager for the county?*I would like to see the city have a business manager,but really I believe I would rather see the county have one than’the town.Here we have a $14,000,000 corporation and five mer meet once or twice a month for a day |to manage its affairs.Any $25,000 corporation,or even a $5,000,that ;would undertake to do business in that |sort of way,would go to pieces.Therelareveryfewcountiesanywhorethat |are managed in a business-like.way.The bills are made by any one in the ‘county,and when they come up for ‘payment they are not scrutinized well |enough to know whether the best service has been received for the mon- ley expended.I know a great deal about the managemeyt of county af- |fairs all over the State,and while I believe there is not.a great desl of| |graft or mismanagement,using these| j terms to denote us felonious misuse ‘of public funds,I do belicve there .is igreat lack in efficient management.| |Sometimes this comes from ignorance| ‘or lack of business ‘ability,but very joften it comes from 2 desire to use ;the resourees of the county by the dominant party in a partizan way re- gardless of the efficiency of the serv- ice. -A few counties in this State have business managers,and so far as my knowledge goes,these counties are governed,or more cficiently ties managed by the county commis- sicners alone.No man,I do not care, |how-yood a-business man he may be, cr how conscientious he may be,can handle the business affairs of a coun- ‘ty by devoting one-day a month,or two days a month,to the affairs of the county,and the other time managing /his own private business trying to make a living.Every large county should have 4 business manager who devotes his entire time to the rhat- ters;pertaining to the county,and his sulary should be 8ommensurate to the;volume of his work and sufficient to| relieve him of the necessity to have. 1to work at something eice for a living. There is a great deal that could be said in a general way,but I beliéve }the taxpayers of the county would prefer to have an’outline of the du- r ties of a business manager in a con- crete form than mere generalities, then,I will sey that wnen the new board of commissionerscomeinthefirstofDecemberthey, i should elect one oftheir number chair~| man,which they will do,but to ba} !more specific,I will say for ‘the pur- pese of argument,let them clect Mr. |Boyd chairman,and I sey Boyd be- ‘couse he knows more about the busi-| ness of the county than any other man’! in the county at present.He is a man} who has the confidence of the peopleyt is a fairly good business man,he H.the time and would no doubt cons WW cntiously discharge the duties of the position of county manager.Lot him| the roads,bridges,county home,the purchasing| ofvall supplies,and the general super- vision of all the county affairs.Let him have authority from the entire: hoard to do all this wor k,but allow no! bills to be paid exeept in the regular | way of concurrence by the entire! hoard,and the board to pay no bills not O.K’d.by the county manzseer The management of ine jagl as well az! the other matters should be in his hands,and he should be held resnonsi-| ‘EAT WITHOUT FEAR OF ‘don’t go on and on with a weak.dis-| ordered stomach; agencies Tehlch all ei eogerhert may perform for the public welfare.and which they cannot .do working.Separately.Then why.not place in cnet of all | |this public welfare work a competent man who,.we assume,would guaran:| tee us thé greatest efficiency for ourtaxesandinsuretosocietythelargest)Try the “Vap-O-Rub”Treatment—Re- amount of welfare menort 1 lieves by Inhalation and Absorp-deiertion,No Stomach Dosing.rooting the intiemed motubrane,&Arabia Sunk Without Warning No need to disturb your stomach with]ing the body cells to drive out theThePeninsula’and-Oriental liner|internal medicines for these troubles,jing germs.©a aes ;:Vick’s “*Vap-O-Rub”Salve,combines by a]In addition,Vick’s is absorbed throupateaeMSnkheeihsorythe|special process—Menthol.‘Thymol,Euca-|the pores,reducing the inflammation oa Bothered by Catarrh,=e gredientsare released in the form of vapors, Lhese boothing,medicated Vapors areay ,>:iterranean on Monday,according to|lyptel,s Capiphor ean Pita de Soe eae tele ae aes ee ear wk_a statement.issued Wednesday morn-|“BP Men teingbytheBritishadmiralty..All of| the 487 passengers,including 169 | women and children,and all the crew with the exception of two engineers,| e best of the body,these iin-|25c,50c,or $1.00,At all"3 re Asthma,Head or Chest Colds?: haled all night long through the airpeg Ae ane,bnd aidaid ; who were killed by the explosions,| were saved by vessels which wentto | the rescue. “The homeward-bound and Oriental mail steamer Arabia| was torpedoed withou:warning and| sunk in the Mediterrancan at about} noon on November 6,”says the ad-} miralty announcement.The.vessel| had 487 passengers),including 160 | women and children.‘All the passen-| gers were saved.Two engineers are| missing and are’believed to have) been killed by the explosion.The re- mainder of the crew were saved.” Paul R.Domner,an Arabian of | Cambridge,Mass.,was aboard the| Arabia.| of| Peninsula | 7 SS S EE P U Y T I I I E I I N G 39 1 5 3 0 0 0 8 00 0 9 9 ) Pr Y T r si t t e r ee et a oe a Se Investigating Rise in Price Coal.

With 17 isolated precincts still un- reported,the California vote stood: Hughes 462,828;Wilson 466,106.The missing votes,it is generally believed,will not materially change President Wilson’s majority of 3,278.Republicans have héped for a split in the electoral vote in California,as was the case four years ago,when Wilson got 2 and Roosevelt 11 of California’s 18 votes.This split is hardly probable,reports from Califor- nia say,but counting the other votes now estimated for Mr Wilson as ab- solutely safe,he could lose 10 votes from California and still have a ma- jority.It is not probable,however, that he will lose that many,if he losesany.: Official returns from all election districts in .New Hampshire give Wilson 48,787;Hughes 43,724,a plu- rality of 68:for,Wilson..The final result of the New Hampshire vote wasindoubtuntil6p.m.Saturday,when Secretary of State Bean announcedtheresult.With only 15 widely scattered pre- cincts in New Mexico to report,Pres- ident Wilson’s plurality over Charles E.Hughes in that State stood:at 1,- 174.It is not believed that final re-turns will make any material change.

With 14 precincts missing Wilson lead by 963 votes.The vote is:Wilson 58,806,Hughes 52,843.Wilson’s plu- rality,when the missing precincts come in will be between 1,000 and 1,100,it is estimated.The missing recincts are all in the West and are emocratic. The final report from Minnesota,with some returns yet to be heard from,gave Hughes a lead of 260.Not Conceded.The Republican national commit- tee has not yet conceded Mr.Wil-son’s election.While it evidenty has no hope of his defeat it refuses to con- cede victory until the official count is made in California.A statement showing the fluctuation of the lead between President Wilson and Col.

This is a delicate matter,he.said,but the facts as to the mental defec-tives would have to be communicat- ed to their parents.They cannot be taught in this»school,the doctor said.They hinder the other pupils and the teacher and their place is in the school for feeble-minded.

Dr.Jordan said he didn’t tell parents to have tonsils or adenoids removed; he doesn’t prescribe for the children at all.He simply calls the attention of parents to the defects in their children and urges them to consult the family physician.;The medical inspection of school children,the doctor said,is but oneunitofdiseaseprevention.There isnogreaterproblemthandiseasepre-vention—from the standpoint of theraceandfromthefinancialstand- point.The best way to spend money is in disease prevention.Human life is the only thing of value that we have and if that is true the conser-vation of human life is our greatest concern.It is estimated that 34,000peopledieinNorthwarolinaevery year,13,600 of -these from:preven ble disease,and it is ¢éstimated re economists that each individual is worth $1700.If children are an as- set rather than a liability,then our greatest concern is to teach them disease prevention.There is more religion in disease prevention thaninanyotherthing,and love for our fellow man and interest in his wel- fare should move us to push this work,as well as the commercial sideofit.Iredell is making progress in disease prevention.The county hasalreadyhadananti-hookworm cam- paign and typhoid vaccination:now medical inspection of the school chil- dren;and Iredell owes a duty to oth- er counties to set an example in such work,;Talks emphasizing Dr.Jordan’s remarks were made bg Dr.Ross Mc- Elwee,county physician;Dr.T.E.

It is pointed out that in all except three of the counties of the State the constitutional limitation on the poll and property tax rates have been ex-ceeded already for the ordinary pur- poses of government,and that if the limitation cannot be exceeded for a special purpose,all road _building and other public improvements will have to stop.Furthermore,that there are over -ten million dollars of bonds issued by counties for roads and other improvements that aresupportedbytaxesthatareinexcess of the constitutional limitation,andthatiftheAlexanderbondswereheldtobeinvalidthesewouldalsobecon- verted into bonded debts without valid taxes for liquidation of principal and interest.

There are many causes for con- gratulation,but the chiefest of these is that a President was elected with- out New York and the so-called piv- otal States of Indiana,Illinois and New Jersey;and greater still is the cause for congratuation in the fact that the wealth of Wall street and other centers of population did not govern in this contest,as they have so long governed;and that the mon- eyed interests did not dominate in this ‘election.The people of —the South and West,largely agricultural, have named a_President.Whether this ‘Union,so long hoped for,is to) be permanent,time alone can tell.| The Republican party is not dead and| the Demgtrats who think so will find| it different four years hence:For the! first time since Andrew Jackson’s | day—in 1832—84 years—the Demo« crats have re-elected a President;| and for the first time since the War| Between the States |«ney have se-| cured two presidential terms in suc-| cession.That is making progress| and ig encouraging.But we.want to reprémber that 'thé closéyof the war rectatly elected will not meet untilDber,1917.The Post then ora ceeds with some comforting assur-| ance.It says that for a full yearMr.Wilson is at liberty to go on withWedevelopmentofhispoliciesse-@are in the congressional majority|had up till now.—Charlotte|server, Byt a$ithe present Congress ex- Hires by limitation March 4th next, te atever Democratic legislation is @pacted must be put over mighty ick.The terms of members of yngress elected last Tuesday begin i March 4th. ~‘The Landmark hopes that the ke.and disputed result in the tenth Mgressional district can be settled i favor of the man who has honestly If Mr.Britt has but one ma- rity he should be as.certain of the Gertificate of election as if he had 000.-The Democrats have con- Wolof.the election machinery and y cannot afford to have the ap- “AFance of engaging in sharp prac-@....Hagh:man should have a square@bal,open and above board.If Mr. aver has honestly won the elec- on he should have it,regardless of cry of frayd on the part of Re- Blicans,‘but the Democrats must ‘sure that the cry of fraud cannot be-shown to have ‘any foundation.Fa iar’:Seamaneleierennmmeranansnnmenpse [.Guafor ‘the last of the ©old-time er and distinguished public men f a former day passed in the death f.Mr.Cyrus B.Watson of Winston- ‘Balem—known all over the State as co"Watson.He ranked high in @.legal profession.and as a public fe While always cctive in _poli- ies he was not an office-seeker.He served his county in the General As- pi bly and was his party’s condidate or Governor in 1896,taking the nom- ation in a hopeless race after oth- ¢rs had run away from it.He was ‘gn active candidate for United States enator in 1901 but failed in the con- gst.before the Legislature.He was ‘man of unusual ability and held the qnfidence of the people. ‘‘_ESET RA NE EE ATONE The strongest evidence that the Locpte are in favor uf road improve- ment 4s the ounties in ‘his section—Alexander *and’.Yadkin-flast Tuesday elected | Pemocrats to the Legislature on the! ood roads issue.In Alexander Dr.| ..T.Crowson,a former Statesville|Ping detente Obadiah Teague,Re-| ublicin,who fought Alexander's | ig road bond issue.Dr.Crowson | 8 the only Democrat elected in!Plexander and the fact that ‘he fa-| voredroad improvement put him| over.In the strong Republican coun.|ty of Yadkin a Democrat was elected|to the Legislature on the goodroads | issue.The candidate who opposes | od.roads at this stage,in this part|Q “the country,stands 4 poor showof |ehection.|| fs that two Republican ,Never before was there so much‘Nocratic rejoicing in North Caro-pe Ftom_last Wednesday,-after—it became apparent that Wilson was Boe elected—they didn’t wait or absolute certainties—the celebra- lons began and they have been staged in almost every town=since. ¥}1884,after the first Cleveland election,the victory was celebrated,but there was little celebration in$92 and 1912.The excess this year|yas doubtless partly due to the reac-in f §|tion from the first news of apparent)J §Carrdefeat,and to the furthér unusual|circumstances—a second term for aJemocratic-President—and.’so on.all right té have the celebrationsthereisnotundueexultationandv tfmes'Yettirns to ‘icdn politics in half a hundred years |West and the oft-despised region of [smother every noble and advancing at isn’t good pol-|}: and the adjustments to follow may! seriously try the parzy in power;and| time only can determine the future| of the parties.The Democrats, however,barring.the probable loss of the House of Congress,have been given the opportunity to continue to make good,as_they unquestionably have done in the past four years. Many causes contributed to -the success of Wilson.In the agricul- tural districts high prices helped.In} the urban districts the higher cost of living,with which higher wages have not kept pace,probably hurt.Big business opposed him in the main be- cause he did not favor the special in- terests.‘“He kept us out of war,”so much ridiculed by the Republicans, was a great factor.In Kansas,says the Republican State chairman,“He kept us out of war”and the high price of wheat gave that Republican State to Wilson,while in State mat- ters it is about as strongly Republi- can as ever.The same doubtless had a controlling influence| in many other Western States.Cone ditions rather than the administration of course are responsible for the high prices,but the administration natur- ally got the benefit of the favorable conditions;and it was the adminis- tration,not conditions,that kept us out of war.ey PATOLTED The Republicans in the depart- ments at Washington,who hold place under the civil service,manifested their insolence a trifle early.They thought Hughes was elected and their impudence may result in some of them losing a job,which would be deserved retribution.

If anybody can cite a reason for marking the ballots at a_general election as our voting is arranged, The Landmark would be glad to hear it.This paper is seeking light;it is ready to stand for the marking if it can be shown sufficient reason for it; but if something can’t be said in its favor it hopes the next Legislature will change the statute. To Investigate Use of Money. Definite plans have been adopted by administration leaders,it is said, to have the Senate begin an investi-gation,as soon as Congress con- venes,of the use of money in thelastpresidentialcampaign.Several Senators have discussed the question with officials of the administration and it is said that the investigationwillbeheldbeyondquestion. As outlined by officials the investi- gation.will be very thorough andwillincludethecross-examination ofwealthymensupposedtohavemade campaign contributions as well as of the men in charge of the spending of Department of Justice announces that its investigation will proceed in va-rious States despite the fact that the elections are over. Elected Democratic Governor. It falls out that while West Vir-ginia voted for Hughes the Demo-! cratic candidate for Governor,John|Cornwell,was electee. As a result the West Virginia Re-| publicans are trying,by sharp prac-' tice,to fix things so the new Govern-| or-won’t have any patronage to dis-+tribute.The’plan is to call an extra-|ordinary session of the State Legis-! lature next Monday to enact amend-| ments to the State election laws and!to pass a bill placing the appointive| power now held by the Governor.in:the hands of the board of public! works. The terms of the present members of the Legislature expire November 30 and Republican leaders declare that a call will have to be issued be- fore that time to be effective.« Hughes to Rest.

More Details of Thursday Night’s’Chase and _Subse-quent Events. ‘The capture of a Ford automobile and some bogze on the Turnersburg road Thursday night was briefly.men- tioned in Friday’s Landmark.From this brief mention of the incident the readers ofthe paper could form lit- ‘tle idea of the real fun of the occa- sion, To go back to the beginning: North Iredell officers Thursday got wind that an.automobile pasty fromDaviecountywouldbereturning from Wilkes county that ‘night,and that while-ostensibly it was a pleas- ure party and on pleasure’bent,thecarwouldbeloadedwithbooze.With this information officers hiedthemselvestoabridgebetweenHar-mony and Williamsburg,and:in thewoodsnearbyandalongsidetheroadtheybuiltafiretokeepwarm while.they awaited the arrival of the booze special.There were two Ford cars in the officers’equipment.Aboutthetimetheminionsofthelawwerecomfortablealongcametheexpected car,occupied by two men and two women,The officers planted tham-selves onthe bridge to stop them. But no,sir!The man at the throt- tle of the booze special had no stop orders and had no notion of making that a flag stop.So he opened up and.the officers stood aside and glad to get out of the way,just in timefortheboozespecialtoshootby.The officers cranked their cars andstertedinpursuit.Soon the race was nip and tuck,the officers keep-' ing close enough not to allow the booze car to make any turns from the straightest road.For this reason the booze car could not keep itshomewarddirectionbutwasforcedtokeepstraightaheadand-this brought the car towarcs Statesville. The monotony of the “race was re- lieved ever now and again by a pistol shot,about two dozen in all being fired by the officers in an effort topuncturethetiresoftheboozecar.They had kept up the chase for eight miles and had passed through the Allison bridge,on the Turners- burg road,and had about reached thetopofthéhillwhentheofficers’*carshotpast.At this the booze car took to the ditch and the occupants scampered away in the dark,al!be-fore the officers could stop their car and get back to them.While all this was going on,the second officers’car was scoutingalongbehind,it having failed to get a good start when the race began. But along the stretch of.eight miles the occupants of the fleeing “automo- bile had managed to throw from the machine one 16-gallon keg of liquorand14jugs,containing from one to three gallons each.All had_beenwreckedbytheirfall.Yn all,the of- ficers figure the party hadvabout 45 gallons of whiskey.After a breathing spell the officers began an inventory of the car on thesideoftheroad.To do this better one went to a house nearby,occupied by colored.people,for a light. white woman was observed to be sit- ting in the house and_was dressed as if she had keen’traveling.The of- ficer returned to the.road with the light and told his brother officers of what he had seen.They suspected right away that the woman belong- ed to the automobile party and went to’investigate.But she had |gone.The:first.chapter of the incidentclosedhere”and the officers came totownwithwhattheyhad—an auto- mobile,a little over a gallon of liquor and automobile number." In the pursuing party were Depu- ty Sheriff Cs L.Gilbert of States-. ville,who had been summoned to north Iredell in anticipation of the coming of the special,and Deputy Sheriffs W.I.Baity and SankeyGaitherofnorthIredell.When the chase.started Statesville officers were *phoned to come out and meet the svecial,heading this way.Policeman_|Wasson,Deputy Marshal Milholland and Fireman,‘‘Red”Gaither answer-ed the call and arrived on the scene soon after the pursuing party hadovertakenthespecial.

One thing the government experts have gathered from the flood is that in most cases where a house was washed away or knocked away by a slide,the house was situated at the mouth of a cove or a small creek.Mr. Marbut,a soil expert’who is _inchargeofthesoilsurveyofthebu- reau of soils,visited this county on an inspection tour several wecks ago. He spent several days:in the,John’s river and Mulberry sections.He had already visited other counties in North Carolina,‘and he said that he found this fact true in every section visited by the flood. “Advise your readers,”he said to a News man,“not to build any more homes at the mouth of coves and dnall streams.This is where the ereatest destruction to homes and human lives occurred.” PROFIT BY THIS.

We haoeDr.H.Q.North Carolina Fa ::.a an advocate of morewi i ‘|ideas of government than any man of similar prominence and influ- ence in the State—-Greensboro Rec- ord,This has ‘reference to some of the things advocated by Dr.Alexander in his address at the recent State meeting of the \Farmers’Union.Dr. Alexanderappears tobe of the type of man who,when he gees he is about to get what he has been clamoring for,immediately begins to call loud- ly for something else;or who calls for many things instead of concen- trating fire on a few of those most needed’and.most likely to be obtain- ed. But be it understood that this is no criticigm of Dr.Alexander,He has a right to advocate what sents to him good.And,moreover,the extremist: of this generation is the conservative of the next.Many of the’demands of the old Farmers’.Alliarice,25 years ago,were laughed at and de- nounced as visionary,rmpractical and ruinous.to the country.We have lived to See some of them adopted, ponent of radical ideas,but we have enacted into law and are applauding today many of the things that were considered revolutionary and destruc- tive when Mr.Bryan first went about the country championing them. Glory to the radical!He -is not} “only necessary but he is worthmuch | to the country.He may get out on) the border line and cry aloud for the; seemingly ‘impracticable,unattaina- ble,revolutionary and destructive things.But if he-didn’t get out far in advance and agitate for these things;the great mass of the people would never progress.They may not move as fast nor as far as he would have them,and generally it is well,probably,that they do not at the time.”But to the extremist is due a large part of the credit when prog- ress is made in any direction.He sets the people to thinking and by and by they see that some at least of the changes suggested ‘are not only prac- ticabler but desirable.Sometimes .-be- fore-these can hardly be adopted and put to practical use,the radical has “moved on and is asking for) something else. siders what has been attained as worth little or nothing,but it is al- ways something far ahead that is to make us all happy and ‘prosperous. But that is not a reason for criti- cism,when you come to think about it.There are so many reforms need- ed for the general welfare,and they are so long coming,thet if the agi- tation—we mean healthiul,not hurt- ful,agitation—wasn’t’kept up stag- nation would result.The mass_is nearly always conservative and slow The standpatters are many and they don’t want change.They fear any change would injure their craft (or graft).But by and by theideasoftheextremistsaresifted, adopted and applied—not always to the extent the agitators desire and probably they don’t expect that,but to them is due a great share of the credit for progress. Twenty-five years ago Woodrow Wilson and many of the things he now stands for and has brought about,would have been.considered ruinous to the country.Now we ap- plaud him as the greatest man of his’time and point with pride to his accomplishments.* Lage <p eRECCEET Referring to the tenth district in- cident,the Newton Enterprise says: The election law undoubtedly re- e square in front of the candidate’s name and rulings had been made bybothStatechairmentothiseffect.In this light Mr.Britt,the Republican candidate,is entirely -justified in claiming the election.On the other hand,it is clearly ridiculous to re- quire a mark on a ticket that con- tains but dne oe and to carry out! the intentionOf the voters the un-) marked Saleh Mr.Weaver is also entirely justified in claiming the election.If.all the unmarked ballots each candidate,cast in évery precinct in each county in the district,had been counted,The Landmark would| be ‘in sympathy with the winner on| that basis,notwithstanding the law! quired the marking.But when un- marked ballots from only five pre- cincts in one county were counted, enough’to change the vote from one candidate to another,it is so clearly a case of sharp practice to count one candidate out and another in,that The Landmark’must be excused from endorsing any,such methods, Mr.Hughes and the chairman of the Republican national committee were a trifle slow about it,but they have at last admitted defeat and it is all settled now.SA oy "Message Ready.

The Smallpox. About 600 Statesville school chil- dren have been vaccinated as a result of a case of smallpox developihg among the children last week,and the compulsory vaccination order of the school board.As sovn as a new sup- ply of points can be received the re- mainder of the white children,if any there be,and the colored children will be vaccinated.

RETIRING JUDGE BOYD. Planning to Make a Vacancy on the District Court Bench. Notwithstanding when the report was started afresh last week that Judge Boyd would retire from the bench,his honor said:“The rumor isabsolutelywithoutany.foundationwhatever.Ihave never intimated to any friend or to any one-else that IhadtheremotestideaofretiringaslongasIwasphysicallyandmental- ly capable.of discharging the duties of my office,”the report persists that the judge must give way.His honorsaidhewouldn’t “consider it honest to take advantage of the government by enjoying in idleness a -salarywhichIfeltfullycapableofearningbyservicerendered.I should not consider it an honorable thing to do, and nothing is futther from my in- Evidently his honor does- n’t feel that his recent illness has in- capacitated him,and he says the re- sult of the election has nothing to dowithhisattitude. But regardless of the views of the judge,the plans are being made,_itseems;to retire him.The Charlotte Observer of Saturday made this statement editorially: “As a matter of fact,and a matterthatisrdgardedwithconcernandre- gret by Judge Boyd’s friends through-out the State,his physical condition has-been-anything —but-favorable_in recent months,The Observer,with no intention at all to anticipate any contemplated action by Judge Boyd, feels that it would be entirely with- in the bounds of propriety to say that the retirement of that popular offi-cial from the active duties of the bench may be expected before the be- ginning of the New Year,and his re- tirement will be coupled with honors, as well as with the usual emolu- ments.”“Coupled with honors and emolu-ments”caused some of us to sit up and take notice.The GreensboroNewsexplainshowitistobe: “Now,if the Democrats really want it why don’t they passa stat- ute in Congress making Judge BoydamemberoftheU:ited States Cir- cuit Court of Appeals?It would:beapromotioninthatitcarries$1,000 a vear more in the mater of salary;and the position may be looked upon as carrying a_little more of honor and dignity than a district judgeship. It appears to me a_pretty safe bet that such a tender would be acceptedbyJudgeBoyd;such an honor would be refused by few:-men.And then the ‘party in power in the nation could proceed to satiate its appetite for the natronage that Judge Boyd nowholds. “This man,who shall be nameless here.then explained to the writer indetailhowsuchaplancouldbemadeplausibleandworkable.There is ‘a statute which says that there shall be at least three judges on the Ap-peals court bench’and there is an-other that provides but two Appeals court judges for the fourth circuit.

Boyd is Federal judge of what may be known as the ‘moonshine district’ of North Carolina.” ‘In another section of the same fic- tional article,this same Kelly says: “These lectures,which the judge terms his jury charges,are for the benefit of the illiterate mountain folk who crowd inté the trial room at «Greensboro at the opening of each term of court.It is,for the great “majority,their sole means of educa- tion,their one chance for an intellec- tual awakening.Scores of these mountaineers camp in the court house yard in order to be present.” There are some facts in the story. Judge Boyd is the judge of the Unit- ed States Court and*he does hold court at Greensboro and at Ashe- ville and he does charge the juries and he does talk of current events,in the course of -his charge to the grand jury.Mountaineers —all of us this} way are mountaineers —do attend!the trials.»-But in so far as the statements above quoted are concerned —it is spfficient to remark tnat the readers of the American Magazine who read the Kelly story cou\4 not help feel- ing a bit of resentment at the state- ment that the only means of educa- tion for “hundreds of persons”was their:attendance—_upon-—the United States court..The Kelly story is more of that class of “yellow”fiction éonstantly being scattered abroad concerning the mountain folk of *’North Carolina.The Landmark story—which calls had seen the Kelly for a_stronger word than “story”to fit it accurately,!agreement in which they apneared to)fest “put had kept silent because of.its in- ability to properly characterize it in errr i SOMOS { Aer OVO)TAA Wowerne ¥ AO A epee itsots; ee ponents had’better look out.We willresistto:the uttermost.”‘It’s all right for Mr.Gompers andhisassociatesto.fight for the §-hourlaw.That's their privilege:andtheirright.But Mr.pingalittlestrongwhenhecriticisesJudgeHookfornotholdingthelawconstitutionalsoastoplacethebur-|den on the other side.A judge is sup- posed,in rendering a decision,to be}governed by what he believes to be! the law and the facts,,It is assumed,| therefore,that Judge Hook honestly)believes the Adamson law invalid.So!believing,he of course ¢ould not hold otherwise,for the convenience of Mr. Gompers or anybody:Every extrem- ist holds all who do not agree’with him grossly wrong if not corrupt.So Mr.Gompers.

At least four Methodist Annual,Conferences—of_different.branches of Methodism—were in-session in North Carolina last week (not count-ing the colored Methodists):The—‘Western—North Carolina,M. Church,South,at Gastonia;Metho- dist Episcopal.at Parmele,Martin county;Methodist Protestant at Winston -Salem;Wesleyan Metho- dist at Colfox,Guilford county.

Picked Guardian For Baby. When Mrs,W.D.Miller,who lives near Hendersonville,entered a storeinthattownafewdaysago,a well dressed and attractive young woman, carrying a baby,asked her to hold the infant a few moments.Being kindly disposed,Mrs.Miller complied—and she has the baby yet.After a time it dawned on her that the moth- er would not return and investigationdisclosedthatasuitcaseofbabyclothesandsomebaby’s food had also been left,together with a note stating a good Christian mother and had beenpickedforaguardiantothelittlestrangeronthataccount.The note ae that the baby’s name is Albert Lee Ray,and asked Mrs.Mil- ler_to be good to him. The police made w«search for the young woman but failed to find her. The baby is handsome and strong,it is said,and apparently about eight months old,but Mrs,Miller has a family of her own and does not de- sire the addition. Self Defence the Plea.

Lawler,he said,rushed him several times,knife in hand,and they fought over a wide area;that he shot Lawler the head several times with the weap- on..He denied he had anything to do with the disposition of Lawler’s body or with the alleged painting out of!blood spots on the bridge.
