STATESVILLE,N.0.TUESDAY,OCTOBER 8,1916. ~FARM LOANN.ASSOCIATION. Mr.Gilbert Explains Its Object —Meeting on the 14th. Mr.W.L.Gilbert,secretary of theCommercialclub,who has taken anactiveinterestintheorganizationofaFarmLoanAssociationforthecounsty,has made'a study of the Ruralcreditslaw,under which the associa-tion must be organized.A meeting|?of farmers and others :nterested in theorganizationoftheas#bciation is call- ed for Saturday,the 14th,to discussthesubject,and in this connection thefollowingstatementpreparedbyMr.Siibdet for The Landmark is of inter- es “There has been much’interestshownintheFarmLoan‘Association for Iredell.county,and-a number of questions asked in regard to the re- payment of the loans made under this plan.In order that this matter maybecleartoallthefarmerswhoare interested,I am handing you a table showing the amounts that would:benecessarytoretirealogninagiventime,based on the best.informationthatIamabletoobtain. “As is well known,the District Bank has not been located,and forthisreasonthe‘local association can only take steps preliminary to the reg- lar organization;but after these steps are taken,it is then unty a matter of waiting until-the District Bank is Io- cated and organized before the local association can be ready to transactbusiness. “The law reads as follows in regard to the repayment of the loan: “‘Every such mortgage shall con- tain an agreement providing for the repayment of the loan on an amorti- zation.plan,by means of a fixed num- ber of annual or semi-annual install-ments sufficient té ~eover,first,a chargé on the loan,at a rate not ex ceeding the interest rate in the la:it series of farm loan bonds issued by the Land|nk.making the loan;sec- ond,a charge for administration and profits at a rate not exceeding one per centum per annum on the unpaid prin- cipal,said two rates combined consti- tuting the interest rate on the mort- gage;and,third,such amounts to be applied on the principal as will ex- tinguish the debt within an agreedperiod,not less than five years nor more than forty years. ““No loan on mortgage shell be made under this act at a rate of in- terest exceeding six per centum per annum,exclusive of amortization pay- ments.’ “This being the law,the payments on a loan of $1,000 would be approx- imately as follows for the term ofyearsshown: First Yr. years $260.00 years 160.00 years 126.67 years 110.00 years 93.33 r 85 years 88.57 30.28 58.5740years85.00 26.50 55.00 “The above table is based on the fact that the law as quoted separates the payments into-two separate sand distinct classes—one of a payment on the principal,and the other the inter-est on the unpaid principal.If the Land.Bank for this district rules.that this is the manner in which the pay- ments shall be made the above figures are approximately correct.The:first .column shows the amount that it will be necessary to pay on $1,000 for the first year of the loan for ‘the number of years the loan is to ve run,the sec- ond shows the payment for the last year of the loan,and the last shows the average payment for the entire term. “The law provides for the election by the local association of a board of directors consisting of not less than five members.This board of direc- tors elects the officers of the local as- sociation,and also has the authority to assess the stockholders of the as- sociation a small amount based on the number of shares owned,to op- erate the association. “The law requires each .farmer who wishes to borrow any capital to purchase stock in the association to the amount of $5 foe each $100 that he wishes to borrow.This is the capital stock of the association,and each share of $5 entitles the owner to one vote on all matters that should come before the stockholders up to _ten votes. The Farm Loan Association is op- erated exclusively ‘hy and for the farmers.No one but bona fide farm- ers,who wish‘to -borrow money to} buy farms or for farm improvements, can participate inthe association or borrow money through it. “So far everything in connection with the Farm Loan Association is based ona_general law,and there have been no.rules that apply to spe- cific questions laid down,nor cantherebeuntilthelocationandorgan- ization of.the District Farm LoanBank,as_this matter is left to.theDistrict’Bank. “The meeting to be held on Satur-|&day,October 14th,is to be open to allthefarmersof.the county,and all who are interested in this matter areurgedtobepresent.” September Revenue Collections During the month of SeptemberCollectorWattsofthefifthNorth Carolina district has collected $1,722,-794.92 of internal revenue as follows: TobaccoEmergency taxes: Income taxesLiquorlicense ,.Oleomargarine license ...Narcotic ‘taxes ra Fines and penalties ....

The hosts —the Republicans.— put their “best foot forward”and ,were in their ‘best bib and tucker.”They had a brass band from’Kan- napolis,decoratsod the court room with flags and had ushers to seat the audience, At 1.45 o’clock,Mr.Wm.A.Bris- tol,chairman’of the Republican lecounty committee,introduced Mr.H.|t S.Williams of Concord,candidate for Congress in this district,who intro-duced Mr.Shaw‘as.one who had had ito do with steering the ship of State for awhile. The task of self-government is the severest God ever placed on His chil- |dren,declared Mr.Shaw.We have *,heen doing it for 125 years-and Tam |optimistic of its{success.I recog- nize there are breakers ahead.and the ship of State needs careful hand- line._I_appeal-to those who actually study which policy is best for the ‘country,for upon these must rest the safety of the country.I believe in party government of certain fixedpurposesandplans.We need a mi- !nority party and_I believe that is the ‘function of the Democratic party.It {is needed to turn the spot--light on the majority party.It takes ‘years lof practice and experience to make a |wine law-maker.JI will not —elaim | ithat the Republicans have more apti={- tude for statesmanship than Demo- crats but we have had more expe- rience for the reason we have been in power more.In their experience with handling the government the 'Democrats have brought disaster butnotwithbadintent,..They have done the best they knew how.The pres- ent administration is doing the best it ean;it has shown its strength. The money panic which threatenedithecountryaboutthetimeoftheovtbreak‘of the European war was prevented by the operation of “thé Aldrich-Vreeland bill,the speaker declared,and not by the operation of the Federal Reserve act,a Democrat- ic measure,as claimed by Wilson,the latter measure not being effective un- til 90 days after the threatened pan- ic.The Federal Reserve fund is not available direct to the individual bor- rower for only banks can _borrow from the fund.Only an average of eight of 100 bankers of the country say that the system may be-all-right,It provides for 12 branches under one partisan head.If.the Demo-crats see fit they edn ‘make “it the greatest political organization.in the world,all the appointments being by one man and subject to his removal.As to the Rural Credits bill Mr. Shaw says it sounds good but is ab- solutely unworkable.Those who.are supvosed to be benefited by it get to- gether,form a company and_then mortgage the company.After you have got the mortgage and have agreed to it,then you have to sell the mortgage,-which you cannot do. Mr.Shaw says that he will pay the mortgage if any one ever gets a loan under it. The speaker explained that thej§ Republicans had a quarrel in their family.abolished their issue.and tost in 1912,for which he thanked God. The onty prosperity_that we have én- joyed since has been ‘blood-soaked prosperity incident to the Europeanwar.The Democrats recognize the danger of a flood of goods from abroad and passed the anti-dumping law to prevent cheaper selling here than at home.Germany now has large quantities of goods now ready for shinment and when they begin to come she must sell them =cheaper than at home.After further discus- sion of the tariff laws;Mr.Shaw said he thought Democrats should return to their job of turning the spot-light on Republican law-makers. The Democrats declared in favor of.economy,which—is_a good thing, and then turned around and appro- vriated $177,000,000 more than ever had heen aporopriated before,and in addition created new_positions to take care of Democrats.He quoted what prominent Democrats had to Say.in criticism of Democratic ex- travagance.He charged the Demo- cratic platform as.being so much promise and no fulfillment.Wilson’s actions in dealing with the Mexicansituationwasseverelycriticisedandridiculed,He said that if Wilson had not taken the stand he did on the &- hour law,as demanded by the union, there would have been no campaign and Wilson would have been elected;honds down. declared that Groverthebravestmanwho ever occupied the President’s chair and one who never swerved from the right.Mr.Wilson has kept us out of war but he has laid the foundation for moreoethananyotherman,he declar-ec The Republican party has alwaystried.to help man achieve.as he re- ceives a maximum of happiness fromachievement.At the close of thé,Civil Wart he had matchless resources undeveloped and railroads were built to aid in developing these resources.A,tariff for revenue only is a tariffwiththeexprésa»intent.‘of having(Continued |on’Righth Page), At this point Mr.Shaw, Cleveland was} THE CHURCH I‘DEDICATED,|DEATH OF MISS EDWARDS.

Hon,Leslie M.Shaw is proba- the Republicans send to these parts, He “speaks pleasantly and tries to leave the impression that he speaks fair,and he is an adept in making the wdese appear the better reason.Mr. Shaw doesn’t think much,of the Fed- eralj Reserve act.Tuat is natural, Mr,Shaw;it ‘may pot be generally known,represents banking interests. a ‘Most of the bankers,probably,are not enamored of the Federal Reserve act,because it has cut off some,of their big profits.It makes money “easy!because it prevents its con- céntration in.the hands of a few, who hold up borrowers and take the| pound of flesh;and by the same tok- en it will prevent a few men putting ona panic for what they can make owt.of it,as has been the case in the ‘Past.A.Charlotte banker stated a itew days-ago-that he-and.other bankers didn’t like this act because it made them.do for nothing many thities for which they had previously obtained pay,but .he was candid cirough to say that the act was for thebest interests of thespublic.The majority ‘of the Republicans in Con- 88 voted for the Federal seserve act and many of them,seeing its ad- |Witages and its value to the coun- try,have tried to claim credit for its passage.Mr.Shaw,representing.the class who have suffered some loss of profits by the a¢t,naturally tries to discredit it. The same true of the Rural Credits act.“Mr.Shaw says it is un- workable.Because he has been Sec- retary of the Treasury by no means ‘makes him final authroity in this gniatter.‘Other men,who know as much about it as he does—if not more—hold it is workable.The Rural Credits act,however,will take the farmer out of the grasp of the money slender,and~possibly that may ac- feouint for Mr.Shaw’s attitude,al- though his party.voted for the act Band some of them have tried to claim jerndip for it. It was the is Aldrich-Vreeland act piPermitting:the issue of emergency currency),a Repvosiican measure, Ne saved the country from a panic "in 1914,saysMr.Shaw.True.The ¢Federal Reserve act,whici had been _.passed,was not in actual working ‘operation at that time.Mr.Shaw‘hight have stated also that the Ald- ~grich--Vreeland act saved tne country .from a panic in 1913.It may not be generally known,but it is a fact, wthat the moneyed:interests planned eto put on a panic in 1913,the first “year of the Wilson administration. Bre tip was passed out from head- §quarters to cotton speculators,for in- stance,that there would be a depres- &sion,money would be tight and_the “price of cotton would be low.Many “@ Speculators lost money by accepting the tip,beczuse Secretary McAdoo §knocked out the plans for a panic by %announcing that he would issue ¥$500,000,000 of emergency currency gunder the Aldrich-Vreeland act. The Aldrich-Vreeland act is a good Wisc for temporary purposes,if used,but the Federal Reserve act-is ®better. we,it would have been interesting ifpMr.Shaw had explained to his hear- ers why something wasn’t.done to {stop the panic of 1907,along aboutwthetimehewasSecretaryofthe>§Treasury.“In 1907,it will be re- “fembered,when Roosevelt was Pres- ident and the high tariff laws were ere force and effect,money became_80 “tight”that in|some cases onewhohadmoneyondepositinabank,couldn’t get it and many of theshanksissued“scrip.”The Republi- a“eans would like to forget that,Duy74neXaminationofetherecorawill».show the facts,which they can’t de-ny,that there were thousands of»men out of employment and “breadonaand“soup houses”in the cit-Minn Probably if the Secretary of the*Treasury at that time had,like Mr.y McAdoo,used the means at com-«,mand—and showed that he was ingearnestaboutit—he might have stop-ped the panic,although it might“have,cost his friends something.The Aidrich-Vreeland act ‘was passed aiayearlater,to meet such emergencies,abut it can be used only as a tempo-i rary expedient.The Federal Re-ji Serve act serves a much ‘better pur-*pose;and notwithstanding ‘the.criti-cism of Mr.Shaw,ine Republicans, ‘if returned to power,will not repealthatact.They may amend it to helptheir:friends of the capitalist class,pn be afraid to.repeai it. eal nerentae SULTS IN DISCRIMINATION.| enshoro News.reminds us hat |all the laws with regard to the é poaseasion of spirits are based on |the intent ‘to sell;that if one has in his possession:a certain amount.of the fluid it ix prima facie evidence of an intent to”dispose of the excess in violation of the law,and the bur- den is on the defendant to satisfy the court that such was not his purpose, “No intelligent court /on earth,”avers the News,“could conscientiously find same people guilty of retailing,even though accused with hogsheads in possession.” The complaint of The Landmark is based on the inequality and injus- tice that arises—almost necessarliy arises—in the administration of the law under the circumstances.\.If,a man’of good ~standing—-or =one~of some prominence and influence,even though his standing is not so good— is found with several quarts or sev- eyal gallons of liquor in his posses- sion,he is usually allqyved to go free, because the general presumption, backed by his assertion,is that he had no purpose to dispose of the liq- uor unlawfully.On the other hand, if the defendant’s standing is not so high—even though he be not known as a violator of the law;if he is nov well known,or is a_stranger,and especially if “he is colored,he~will most likely be held guilty,no matter how hard he may swear thai all tne liquoris solely for his own use.Some- times the man of the humbler type may be of as good character,or even of better character,than the one of more prominence who is __better known,but conditions may prevent his establishing the fact;and does it not stand to reason also that men of the“humbler type may have a capaci- ty for consumption as great,or greater,than those in ‘the higher walks? The prima facie business—which is circumstantial evidence—is nec- essary and proper under certain con- ditions,probably..But in the matter of liquor—which has been outlawed and the intent and purpose is to keep it as nearly as possible entirely out of reach of all citizens—weare in- clined to hold that the fair and just way,if the amount one is allowed to have in his possession is to be limit- ed,would be to make the law arbi- trary;to make it an offence for one to have above a certain amount on hand at one time,the law to apply to all ;without exception or excuse.We take it such a statute would hoid,as there seems to be no limit to the reg- ulations that may be applied in such cases.\Under the present law there is too much discrimination and the discrimination will _naturally result, whether the courts intend it or not.eneermnrerneemererem THE PUBLIC FIRST. That seems to-be a sound and sane idea of Judge Clements of the Inter- State Commerce Commission,who would write it into the law that one who accepts service with a_public service corporation,may not leave that service or combine with others to do so,on account,of any contro- versy or change in conditions or rates of compensation,except under due and reasonable notice,prescrib- ed by statute,which would permit time for a fair and impartial inves- tigation and determination of the controversy,by arbitration or other- wise.That would not prevent any individual leaving the service of such corporation at any time,-but,it would prevent a_strike of employes until opportunity had been given for in- vestigation and determination. The labor unions would of course oppose the proposition and we *would hear much about “involuntary servi- tude.”Judge Clements anticipates that criticism by asserting that em- ployes of public service transporta- tion companies are as much engaged in inter-State commerce as the com- panies themselves,and that such employes are affected in the same way and in the same respect,as are the companies themselves,with the public interest,which they can no| no more ignore than can the trans- portation companies. In other words,the man who ac- cepts service with a public service corporation becomes in effect a serv- ant of the public,just as the ‘compa- ny by which he is employed,and he has no more right to that which dis-commodes or inconveniences the pub- lic and causes them to suffer loss, than has the company.The idea is—and that idea needs to be empha- sized and_reiterated until it finds proper place in the public eye—thatthepublichasrightswhichneither the public,service companies nor their employes should be.allowed to ignore.In the future legislation reg-ulating these:matters that ideashouldhavefirstplace;and the men who are not satisfied to consider the public ‘interest in this respect should not seek employment with public service corporations, reneInviewofthe‘several escapes fromit,the “fredelf “jait’seems to be “avainthingforsafety.”pit a about.the desecration of the his grandfather,Dr.Mitchell,that should bring a blush of shame to all right-thinking North Carol jans—shame that--there -are> who have no more:consid the proprieties than to desecratéthe last resting place of the dead,and shame that the State of North Caro- lina has not protected the eeof this distinguished son.a When Mt.Mitchell,by reason.wot its inaccessibility,was infrequently visited,the acts of vandalism were difficult to prevent.But now that it is exploited for gain and thousands of people visit it during the summer season,those who profit by it should be forced-to protect the(dust of Dr, Mitchell or keep off the spot,In- stead of protecting the grave,as one of those:interested has asserted|.is done,even the’stones have been re- moved from it for a foundation for ~|bein, an observatory that further adds-to! the profits of those making,com- merce out of Mt.Mitchell.au The State can,with small expense,| at least provide protection for Dr. Mitchell’s grave,and that should be done promptly,whether or.not a monument is ever erected. Mr.Swaim of Wilkes,who had three young men haled to court on the allegation that they gave him a counterfeit bill for blockade liquor, had best held his peace for his own good.Even if the boys are convicted Swaim -will probably nave to do his bit for the illegal sale of liquor. Moreover,if he was paid counterfeit currency wasn’t he selling counter- feit liquor?’which was paying him in his own coin,so to Speak.

No Pay,No Report. Sanford Express. Since the revenue department de-cided that people ‘should not be paid $10 for furnishing information that would lead to the capture of blockade stills,there has been little activity among the revenue officers in de- stroying stills in this section.The stills are no doubt in the woods but the officers are not going to search for them unless they can get infor- mation as to their location.A man recently came to this place with in- found that ke would not be:paid for his trouble he refused to tell the of- ficer where the sti!l could be found.

(Goed citizens cught to be willing to report violations of the law—se- rious violations at least—as a part leven if sometimes a disagreeable |part—of the duties of citizenship; and the man who reports law _in- |fracticns as a duty he owes society, stands in much better light than the paid infermer.But it having been|the custom to pay for this informa-ition,it is natural for the folks who|earned money that way and did the |Service solely for the moncy,to stop- ‘reporting when the.money stopped.|—The Landmark).

Pate was entitled to a second prima-ry,although he did not demand oneuntilafterthetimelimitprescribed. In this the board was sustained bytheStateboardofelections,but theSupremeCourtholdsthattheactionoftheStateboardofelectionsinthe matter had no “controlling signifi-cance”and was not intended to,have. The court does not pags on the is- sue of whether Johnson received anominatingmajority,but holds that he gets the nomination whether hedidornot,through Pate’s failure todemandthesecondprimaryinduetime.Pate entered a second prima-ry,but Johnson declined.to enter,holding that he was already nomi- nated,and appealed to the courts.

Some of the speakers not onry do not inform themselves on the»subjects they attempt to discuss,but they are catéless,not to say indifferent,in handling facts.The icea,with too many,is to arouse,if possible,the préjudices and passions of the popu- lace;and they do.not hesitate,at times,to exaggerate and mislead if by ‘go doing they can accomplish their purpose.It is The-Landmark’s opin- jon that comparatively few of the political orators keep abreast of the times;Some of them make practical- ly thé same character of speeches that were made 25 years ago. 4 The:political orator,however,-still has his place.The Landmark would not abolish him bue it would have him—before he goes on the platrorm -|ABOUT-THE COTTON ‘CROP, Much Deterioration Last Month and a Short Crop. ‘Storms and insects have erent havoc with the cotton crop this year and caused a loss of almost 3,000,000 bales throughout the growing =sec- tion.The crop will be approximately 11,687,000 of 500-pound bales,ac- cording.to the Department of Agri- culture’s forecast,basing its estimate on the condition of the crop on Sep- tamber 25.‘ In thefirst forecast of production made from conditions existing June 25,the quantity was estimated at44,266,000-—bales...The condition ofcroponSeptember25,was 56:3-per) cent.of a normal,which is the low- est condition on record for that time of the year.Cotton this year was planted on the fourth largest acreage ever re- corded—35,994,000 acres.In 1911,when 36,045,000 acres were planted, the crop was 15,698,000 bales;in 1913,when there were 37,089,000 acres,the crop was:14,156,000 bales, and in 1914 whenthe.acreage was 36,832,000,the crop amounted to 16,- 135,000 bales. -Indications are that this year’s crop will yield only 156.3 pounds per acre as compared with 207.7 pounds in 1911,182 pounds in 1913,209.2 pounds in 1914., In a,statement issued on conditions existing September 25,the crop.re- port said: “There was heavy deterioration in cotton again this month in the cen- tral cotton States.Boll weevils in Texas,Arkansas,Alabama, Louis- iana and.Florida have taken a heavy toll,puncturing and _destroying grown bolls to a larger extent than ever before known.This insect has, in addition,seriously damaged the crop in:portions of Oklahoma,Geor- gia and Tennessee.Caterpillars.have THEY DID CLASPeeButCordialityWasAl the Taft-Roosevelt Mee Theodore Roosevelt «and *| H:Taft clasped hands Tuesda in’New York city at the ‘Union League Club’s reception to Charles E.Hughes.4,“How do you er,said Mr.Taft.do?”Mr.Roosevelty“How do you rejoined,Each bowed and Mr...Rooseveltpassedontoshakehandswithotherguests,leaving Mr.Taft to greetthosewhofollowed.A.few mateguts later Mr.Roosevelt took his .placeinthereceivingline.He stood be-‘¢weehy’Mr Hughes-and:.Chauncey,M,Depew.On the other side of Mr.Denew stood Mr.Taft.® Thus,standing in the same receiv-ing line,they shook hands with thehundredsofclubmembersandtheir guests,who filed past during the eve- ning.They did not meet again,how- ever,or exchange any other word| than the commonplaces of greeting.|“We shook hands,”Mr.Taft said)afterward,“just like ‘any gentlemen|would shake hands.”Colonel Roopse- velt declined to comment on.the! meeting.After the hand-shaking was _over| and the library was cleared .Elihu|Root.president of the club,escorted| Mr.Hughes through a_flag-draped| corridor to a small platform.in the’main.club room.Beneath a life-size|victure of Abraham Lincoln,Mr,Root.introduced the nominee and Mr.|Hughes.made a.brief address..-Colo-» nel Roosevelt and Mr.Taft were,called upon by Mr.Root and each re-| sponded with a short talk. The meeting between Col...Roose- velt an@’Mr.Taft was the first since| April 18,1915,when both were pall-bearers at the funeral of Thomas B.| Lounsherry,long-time professor of English at Yale University and a injured the late cotton in southern Texas and eastern Florida.Cool} nights caused a cessation of fruiting |ahd the plant shed its.fruit consid-| erably in the northern portion of the|cotton belt. “There—is considerable late cotton ‘in the Carolinas and some in north-| ern Georgia,which will need a late: killing frost to reach anything like| full maturity.| “The weather during the month was very ‘favorable for gathering the crop and the high prices prevailing for both cotton and the seed caused| the farmers in all parts of the South, to rush gathering,and ginning,and}there has been a much.larger per-| centage of the crop put through “the to instruct others—study the public questions so that he can discyss| them ‘intelligently,fairly,and apply| his‘argument with reason and logic.| We have some speakers of that type)andit is a pleasure to hear them.; They ‘can instruct,they*can make men’think.The speaker whose aud- itors listen quietly but who give close attention,take in what he says and} “think about it,does more good than'| may.work up-the.most applause. “The Landmark hopes that the fall-| ing ‘off in attendance at politicalmeetingsdoesnotindicatethatthe péople are taking less interest in/ politics.It does not want to believe that,for it would be ve very discour-| aging to believe it.We are pronc} to speak of politics in tones of con- tempt;to hold it a virtue that we! take little or no interest in politics.| The man who takes no interest in| politics falls far short of his duty as| a citizen.Politics is the scienceof | government.We are all interested in good government,n_progressive government,in government honestly aia justly administered.“We will; never have,we can’t have,that sort ‘af government unless we rake an in- terest in public matters and exert our influence to secure the best men mass of the people,the miilions who have never held office and never ex- pect to hold office,have infiniteiy more interest,more at stake,in the government than:the few thousand office-seekers whom we are accus- tomed to think are solely interested. It is necessary to have offices and necessary to have men to fill them.| If we do not use our tnfluence to put the best men in office—men who willstandforthebestmethodsof.gov- ernment—we have ourselves to blame if there is corruption or incompe- tence,or waste.All the corruption in government,all mis-government, is-primarily the fauit of the people;| and all of it is mainly due to the fact that.the people do not take enough interest in public affairs—in poli- tics;to the false and dangerous idea that politics is solely a matter for the office-seekers.That lack of in- terest is often pleasing to the politi- cians——those who land in place.The lack of interest on the part of the people leaves them large opportunity to do as they please—to serve their selfish ends,if they be men of that public welfare. hacen We are very much opposed to mob law,but if a mob should go after the fellows who kill the women\who re- fuse their attentions,like that Cald- well county.case—well,we're afraid we wouldn’t stop that mob if we could,The brutes of that type,like 80 many others who kill,usually donotgettheirdesertsat,the hands of ‘the law.ete “Will try to save South Carolina Newspaper head {line} tt by had just recently com-|» gins than usual at this time of the vear. “In southern Mississippi and Ala-) bama,where the crop is practically a failure,one picking got the crop, the average in mang counties being a bale to the mule or less. “Over the entire coiion beit.the crop this season has been rapidly picked and there ~is less cotton re-, maining in the fields than usual at this time of the year.The picking season will average two or three Make Employes of Public Serv- ice Corporations Responsible. What he held to be a feasible and equitable method of preventing strikes on railroads and-other public service corporations was recommend- ed by Judge Judson C.Clements,oftheInter-State Commerce Commis-| sion,in an address before the annu- al meeting of the National .Grain Dealers’Association in Baltimore.Judge Clements,who said he was expressing his personal views and not speaking officially,suggested writing into the law a “legally estab- lished obligation and duty upon ev- ery employe who seeks and accepts service with the transportation com-| panies,not to leave the service or combine with others to do so,on ac- f any controversy thereafter: arising concerning any change in the! conditions or rates of compensation, except upon due and reasonable no- tice to be prescribed by statute,per- mitting a sufficient length of time for a fair and impartial investigation and determination of the matter in controversy,either by arbitration or by some duly constituted public tri- bunal.”| Judge Clements declared that those| who engaged as employes in the pub- lic service of transportation compa- nies are just as much engaged in in-| ter-State commerce as are the com- panies themselves “and that such} employes are affected in_respect! thereof,in the same way and to the! same extent,as are the companies| themselves,with a public interest| which.they can no’more ignore than| can the transportation companies.”;RS":;|Increased Wages to Meet In-!creased Cost of Living. That the increased cost of living|has been more than counter-balanced; by the increase_in wages,is a con- clusion set out by~Commissioner of Labor and Printing M.L.-Shipman in the “Trades Chapter”of his forth- coming 1916 report.The.increase in cost of living,he says,has been slight and there is improvement over the showing made a year ago as to conditions of labor.Skilled labor is finding employment with marked regularity and there is every indica- tion_that “unskilled labor_is coming—in for much more regular work and atbetterwage. The commissioner says it is a mat- ter of regret that there cannot be put into\effect.some method whereby un-employed in the towns and_cities could be gotten in touch:with farm-ers in need of labor.He says that while wages paid by farmers are notashighas‘are paid in towns,most farm laborers being negroes,it islikelythatiffarmerscould.securewhitelaborerstheywouldbewilling to pay a considerably higher rate of wage and furnish employment.theyeararound.” When You Take Cold.

Vast increase in the production of raw gasoline from natural gas re- sulted from expansion of the casing last calen- dar year.The Geological Survey announces that 65,364,665 gallons of raw gasoline was extracted and sold during the year. That was a gain of 22,712,033 gal- lons,or 53 per cent.over 1914.An average price of 7.9 cents a gallon for the unblended product was re-! ceived at sources of production and} the entire market value of the year’s output was $5,150,823,a gain of $2,- 044,914,or 66 per cent.over 1914.

NTETIEN EEE TAO ESTEE4ae i| ! | “The Hunter's Moon and the Har- vest Moon are coming on apace,”re- marks the Charlotte Observer,where- upon The Landmark is offered the privilege of having “the first whack at.them this season.”The Harvest Moon,colonel,isn’t a-coming,it’s a-gwyne;’or to be more accurate,it has’passed.The Harvest Moon is the-moon that fulls nearest the equi- nox in.September,anc which rises near the same time for several suc- cessiye evenings,because “the moon isthe traveling in that part of her orbit at which it makes the least pos- sible--angle-withthe ecliptic’—<and hence it comes up at nearly tne same hour for several evenings instead of 50 minutes later each evening,as does the ordinary moon.The Har- vest Moon was full this year on Sep- a tember 11.The Hunter's Woon, §which is somewhat.similar to -the Harvest Moon,is the first full moon after the Harvest Moon,and it fallssciaticthsformation, quarters,...Bh smectite th een THE KU KLUX STATUE. _‘The Landmark published a few days ago an_editorial from the New York Times,approving the proposi- tion of Mr..‘Thomas—Dixon,to-erect on.the “public .square_in Shelby,his native town,a statue of his uncle, $0 Col.McAfee,in the garb of the Ku Klux Klan.‘The editorial was pub- lished ‘because the attitude of the Times in the matter was of-interest, that paper taking the position that the Ku Klux Klan was ‘a necessity,’ that’its organization was’for a proper purpose,and that while it fell into evil hands and committed outrages foreign to the original pur- pose—the natural result of —all_or- ganizations —without-thelaw—the Southern people have no cause to be ashamed of the organization,which they were compelled to use for pre- teétion;that rather it is the North which should be ashamed that it was responsible for the condition which made the Ku Klux or some.similar organization necessary to safeguard the lives and homes of the Southern people. It is gratifying to find a paper of the prominence and influence of the New York Times correctly interpret- ing the history and purpose of the Ku Klux Klan.However,while it is none of The Landmark’s business,it; is in agreement with the Charlotte| Observer that the statue should not, be erected as proposec.In the first place,as the Observer says,a gtatue in the garb of a Ku Klux would be grotesque,an offence to the eye and to the landscape;in the second place, The Landmark holds that acts with- out the law,although conditions may make them necessary and.defensibie for the time,are not things of which to boast.If their history is perpetu- ated and handed down,they will have a tendency to offer excuse for simi- lar acts which the conditions do not warrant and may be used,just as the Ku Klux organization was used final- ly,as an excuse for evil.This paper offers no apology for the Ku Klux as it was originally founded.It did a,work that was absolutely necessary. But for the reasons stated we think it neither wise nor proper to perpetu- ate the memory-of the organization. ONE ISSUE. While ex-Secretary Shaw,in _his address in Statesville Saturday, found the Democratic administration hopelessly and helplessly incompe- tent,he said that if Mr.Wilson had| not stood for the 8-hour law,he would have been elected,hands down.That is to say,while the administration is a failure from Mr.Shaw’s view- point and nothing worse could hap- pen than Mr.Wilson’s re-election, yet up to the time the President sav- ed the country from the calamity of a nation-wide strike,it was as cer- tain as anything could be that tne voters of the country would endorse the administration.Which is to say that the 8-hour law 3s the only real issue:the Republicans nave nationally and they’re not making much head- way with that.;A The Republicans passed an 8-hour law for government employes years ago.Their opposition to the 8-hour law for railroad employes is solely to get the help of the railroad cor- porations in the campaign.If Mr. Wilson had gone with the railroads —and from the financial standpoint it would have been to his interest to do that—the Republicans would be appealing to the laboring classes. Having reference to the annual football game between Virginia and Carolina in Richmond,in which the Carolinians have been defeated regu- larly for years,the Greensboro News feelingly remarks: ----The-responsibilitythat rests upon the Carolina football!team this year is something frightful.Imagine be-| ing,donated another:chunk of sorrow|with nothingto drown it in!| That is a possibility that calls for serious thought.Every year train- loads of.Carolinians have journeyed" to Richmond to see the home team | walloped good and hard.They,man-| aged to survive by drowning their | disappointment in liberal potions of good cheer supplied by the hospitable Virginians at so much per_potion. But the particular good cheer to which allusion is made is disappear-| ing from Virginia,and if the football game this year should be a repetition of the past,the visitors can only drown their sorrow in their tears; and this.fact may very materially cut down the number of North Caro- linians who visit the city on the James for the annual eyent.

After a kodak picture was taken we went to the dining room,where we found the table prettily decorated with goldenrod,yellow ribbon andcrepepaper.In the center was a basket covered with paper and roses. Streamers ran out from this to each place and when we pulled these we found wishes for the bride which were read amidst laughter and chat- ter.Mrs.E.D.Brown toasted the bride,:then gave her the-“cable,”pull- ing which she scattered the roses and uncovered the gifts.As she untied the packages and passed them around the table we admired the dainty han- diwork,which was beautiful enovgh to please evena bride.. ‘4 Big Enrollment at Scott’s High School. .Correspondence of The Landmark. é Scott’s,Oct.5 Prof. 'Mitchell moved.from Cool Spring 'last Thursday to Scott’s,where hewillstayforthewinter,he being su- perintendent of Scott’s High school.

While ex-Secretary Shaw was tell-ing Iredell last Saturday that theFederalReserve.act was of little why someofthe‘Republicans are criticising the Federal Reserve act.’The President of course didn’tknowaboutShaw’s talk—he may notknowofShaw’s existence.In his address to 'a delegation of New YorkvotersthePresidentreferredtothe Kederal Reserve banking system as enabling American business men to take up 50 per cent.of the American securities held abroad and then as-; promised to revise the country’s cur- in an inquiry and an ex- gating body named by the Republi-cans.-~ The President asserted that “nntiladministrationWallStrectcontrolledthe“reasurv of.the al knowledge,”declaring,“Why,—it even had a desk in the Treasury De-nortment.”Since the ‘present ad- ministration hegan.he continued, many men of Wall’Street have refus- vt invitations to lay before the Pres- ident what they thought ought to.be lane,hut they would not receive that kind of an invitation,“They wanted| to be sent for and they wanted to be|\ veasonablv certain before they went that their advice would be taken,” continued.Mr.Wilson, “Such:assistanee as the Treasury of the United States can legitimatély evtend in the interests of finanéial stress used always to be extended-to Wall Street,’the President contin- ned,“Now it is extended to theeountry.It was no donbt shocking to ree the money,deposited in coun- ‘ry hanks and not in,Wall.Street, hut the country banks knew how to *se it and they were very much near- |members of er the great,masses of the.peonle who need it than were the great de- nositaries of financial resources in} New York,*.* “Tho eentlemen.in Wall Strect| have suffered ‘another inconveniente.| They used to he able to do a great deal in the way of legislation —by; neans of a lobby the peonle knew very little about,and the lobby.thank T mean! areument.that uses inducement and not fact,that’understands some spe-| ‘jal interest and does not give a aniethegeneralinterest.‘That istheHobbyImean,and the little cowards| aeuttled the minute they were men-| “ened,I had only to say in a casual interview with the representatives’of | the press that there was such a loh- 9 seuttle. “So the instrumentalities of con- ‘rol have been destroyed,and the ob- ‘act of the nresent campaign on one side is to rehabilitate them.*** The lieutenants of ‘Mark Hanna have returned to authority and the lieu- ‘anants of Mark Hanna represent the shoiees,the determinations and,so much as we can conjecture.the policy of the Republican party.What they Lwant,to-do is to ret control and then, determine the policy in Erte con- ference.” Select Seed in Field. Farm Extension News.| It is a true saying that “100 per cent.crops cannot be made from 50 per cent.seed,”yet the average far-}: mer does not select his seed in the cent.plant. When the seed corn and cotton are placed away in the storehouse it is next to impossible to obtain the best seed,because it is not known how the plant grew,whether it was true to the type planted and wanted,or seed which that .thewhetherthefewgood were found were not all plant produced. In the case of corn,the yield may be matcrially increased if good, sound seed from a strong,well-pro- ducing stalk be secured.Most any stalk of corn will produce well if given a great amount of space or un- usual amount of fertilizer,but what is wanted is the seed fram a stalk that produces well under average conditions—one that does not have too much space or is in a fertile spot. stalk will not do what the parent stalk did. So,to properly select seed for the spring.planting,selection should be may be seen and good ears selected from strong,vigorous,—well-fruited stalks. Shipping Company to Connect With China Ports.

The Victims.: The submarine which destroyed the ships is bebieved to be the U-53, which called at Newport Saturday, but naval men believe that morethanone—at least two —German submarines are operating off the American shore,just outside the three-mile limit.The record of Sun- day’s work is as follows: The Strathdene,British freighter, torpedoed and sunk off Nantucket. Crew taken aboard Nantucket ShoalslightshipandlaterremovedtoNew- port by American torpedo boat de- stroyers.‘The Strathdene left New York for Bordeaux and was attacked at 6 a.m.Sunday.

The submarine or submarines had taken a position directly in the steam- er lanes,where they could.hardly miss anything bound in for New York or bound east from that port. _Vessels of the Entente allied na- tions and neutral bottoms carrying contraband of war scurried to getwithinthethree-mile limit of theAmericanshore.Several that werefollowingtheoutsidecourseshiftedandmadefortheinsidelane.TheStephanooftheRedCrossline,how-ever,was caught outside the neutralzone.The destruction-of this vesselwasperhapsthebiggestprizeofthé Saturday Russian goverhment and would havebeenusedasanice-breaker after herpresent“trip.The Stephano carriednearly100passengers,some of themAmericans.

THE DRAINAGE JUDGMENT Report Board of.Viewers_inTomlinCaseModifiedandAf-firmed.|a Judgment has been rendered in the case of the petitioning landowners against C.A.Tomlin in.the Little Rocky creek drainage district matter, and is as -follows: 1,That the channel should.follow old channel as far as_practicable through Tomlin’s lands down to theam. 2.That a new flood-gate is not necessary but the old flood-gate to dam should be kept open by Tomlin. 3.That 46 acres.of Tomlin’s bot-tom lands,adjacent to dam,be ex-empted from the drainage district. 4,The remaining 93 acres are re- classified,60 being put in class.A and 83 in class E,This will make an ag- gregate drainage tax of about $2,000 against Tomlin. The case had been hotly contested and argued on exceptions by C.A. Tomlin on final repurt of the board of viewers.Tomlin.owns 149 6-10acresofbottomJandwithinthedis- trict,running one to I 1-2 miles fromthemilldamuptiecreekonboth sides.Clerk of Court Hhrtness,ac- companied by engineers representing r Tomlin and the petitioners,went out and looked over the situation and affirmed the final report of the board of viewers with the above mod- ifications.The engineers reported:in favor of the old channel*trid a reclass- ification that would aggregate a tax of about $2,400 against Mr,Tomlin. So far no exceptions have been filed to judgment and it is believed this will end the matter. “Boston Creek”—Correction Called:For. In the early days,when the pio- neers started west from Salisbury topenetratethewildernessofwestern Carolina,they named the creeks as they came to them—First creek,Sec- ond creek,Third creek,Fourth creek.; The railroad bridge across Third creek,two miles west of Statesville, has always been known as Bostian’s; bridge because the Bostian farm_is hard by.The contractor who is re- enforcing that bridge with concrete, has put up a_sign,which may_beseenbypassengersonthetrains,bearing this inscription —“Boston creek.” Now what do you think of that? The spelling may*not be so bad,for the sign writer was going by sound, but to attempt to change the name of Third creek,which creek was.givenitsnamebeforetherewereanyrail- roads or any bridges or probably any houses hereabouts,is a wrench to the history and traditions of this section, The man who had the sign put up probably thought the name of the bridge and the name of the creek were one,but he should be told of his error.A committee of old resi- dents,preferably descendants of the “First Settlers,”should wait on him and set him straight and get that of- fending sign removed before “Bos- ton creek”heresy finds lodgment in the minds of those ignorant of ourhistory.

The States Journal of Ohio,the ablest| Republican papes in the State,i,fight-|and that the men of the North and,The New York}the South and their children are liv-|ing him vigorously. |Post,one of the great dailies,in writ-| ‘ing of Wilson’s speech of acceptance.| ‘uses this s | ‘it,Hughes’speeches sink to sm=ller||dimensions than ever.If Mr.Hughes | ‘cannot rise to its breadth of vision! and its power,his will:be.a difficult, position indeed.”| In his,attempt to discredit the strike| ‘or Adamson bill,he is artfully attempt:| ‘ing to deceive these who do not read} for thrusting a poisoned dagger linto| ‘the Republican ,party,for he knows | that mcre than hak ef those in Con- gress voted for the measure.Joseph| Cannon,the greatest Republican in America,voted for it;Congressman| Britt of.the tenth district,who is |worthy of publie-trust-and-eonfidenee voted and spoke for it;and is stand-ing bravely by his record.Scnators, ‘LaFollette of Wisconsin and Cummins of Iowa,two of the most prominent of ;Republicans,are beth dynamiting {Hughes for his denunciation of this bill.Arthur Capper,the Republican ;Governor of Kansas,owns 2 paper ‘published in Topeka,called Capper’s |Weekly,and has heretofore been sup porting Hughes.In a recent 1e of i'that paper we find the following criti- icism of the railway managers jwanted-a strike:“They are the chicf ‘organized enemy.of organized Inbor ‘and now.have only the =trainmen’s junions to desl with.Tf they can de- stroy these unions they will have the ‘abor situation just where they want it.”The New York,Herald,strongly opposed to Wilsonadministration,says: '“Wilson deserves great credit for his ‘stand in urging the passage of this (bill which averted anational calamity.” Hughes has never been the friend of the farmers or other toiling’masses. ;Wlhen Governor of New York he ve- toed bill after bill intended to pro- imote agricultural interests.One of ($5,000 for the agricultural college;) one of $6,000 for farmers’institute work,and yet he approved a hill for ‘increasing the salaries of a lot of State 'officers—the lowest of which was al- vready $5,000.All of them raised from /$1,000 to $5,000. |.Hughes was evidently correct when the-said he was “100 per cent a can-\didate.”His talk of Wilson turning ‘Republicans out of office ind putting‘in Democrats is entirely unworthyofa| presidential candidate.Of course Hughes knows,as everybody —else: ‘knows,that all parties in power do this.Senator Vance of blessed mem- ‘ory,in speaking of this custom,finally said:‘The horse that pulls the plow; ‘should hav:the fodder.”.» !Hughes’stock in trade is criticism of Wilson.Reckless in statement,he declares that Wilson was “weak and vacillating in his international pol- icy;”that “his diplomatic communica-| tiens were nothing.but words.” Hughes knows and the world knows that those communications had such ‘compelling force and sinvleness of purpose as to put a stop to the German submarine warfare.When pressed by the public to tell what he would have (done had he Leen in Wilson’s place he ‘only replies in glittering generalities.| ‘His answer is an‘alortive attempt to “hold with the hounds and run with ithe hare.”Would he have engaged us in war.with Germany?If so,why is it that a large German element,who fly the American flog neath the folds of the German,are his noisiest sup- porters?Has he a secret alliance /with that contingent?The evidence’ points strongly in that direction for it jboasted that it defeated Roosevelt and| ‘nominated Hughes.Oh,but he ring| ithe changes on Wilson’s Mexican pol- icy,and here too he fails to tell what|he would have done.Would ‘he have? iwaged war with Mexico,or would he| ‘now have the American army on the) ‘border for the purpose of —defense,| [cross into Mexico and sacrifice.the ‘blood and lives of our noble soldiers vin order to protect the mines and oil:wells of one Bill Hearst and others of his ilk?‘All of them are howling jfor Hughes.If the American people really believe what Hughes says,and ‘want war with Germany and Mexico, jthen they should vote for him,and ithis,notwithstanding the fact that a 'few weeks before his nominstion,|Roosevelt called him a ‘pussy-footed|feather duster.”, |If the people are in favor of the |income tax passed by the Wilson ad- (ministration,and which forces the rich,as never before,to pay their |Proportionate share of the govern- ;ment expense,then they .will voie fay |Wilson;if against 'it,vote for-the “nussy-footed feather duster”Hughes.

All this is preliminary to saying,| that Landmark Place having been im- proved in apnearance,it is confident-| ly expected that some of the things heretofore attaching to it.and which cdmmonly attach to an alley or side street,‘will be eliminated.It is a custom for people who dare not throw litter on the main thoroughfares,to sten to the mouth of an_alle rand unload trash —-waste paper;pa- per boxes,banana ‘peelings,decay- ed fruit,watermelon rinds in season, and the like.Trash cans are on the main streets for this litter.but the average citizen,given to untidy wavs. will throw such things down an alley rather than put them in a place pro- vided,after the custom of depositing litter in back yards.where it 7s sup- posed to be out of sight,But the lit- ter dropped in Landmark Place is not out.of sieht of the folks who look out on it daily,when thev have time to look out.and they don’t feel kindly toward the folks who mess up their landscape.;, Moreover,another evil—and worse "attaches to the narrow sidestreets. A good many people of both colors, who would not dare indulge in seemly language 6n a_main street, seem to think,when they have walk- ed:a few steps down an alley,that they:are out of sight and hearing,or at léast that they are privileged to) ifn’loose any sort of talk——language, that would at times disgrace a fish} are| ‘j ii market.Some of these folks t thoughtless,others don’t care.And .the idling negro boys,and sometimes ;,white .boys,too,who are afraid to _engage in horse play on the streets, '}sometimes,imake the alley a wrest- “Jing ground and,with their talk,be- ,came a nuisance to those in hearing i distance;and sometimes the horse traders who come up from the rear Jots,exercising or training stock in the narrow passageway,are not guilt- ‘Jess,as they dash out into the main) 'streets,to the great danger of pedes- :trians who are passing along the sidewalk. We confidently exvect,it is repeat- jed,that with the improvements in ..Landmark Place.the walk and con- ‘versation therein will be in accord- ance therewith.We hope the offend- :ers will voluntarily cease to annoy. ii If they do not a way will be found to return the annoyance with interest. ..Negotiations for -police service,for electrical devices that will all but J shock the life out of the offenders,or for machine guns that will make them ‘think European hostilities have been transferred to Landmark Place.are iy under way.None*of these will be ii pnt into commission except in case 1,of necessity,but if necessity calls ;]the response will be vigorous. f OBJECTIONS TO BE MET. «:Interested Parties Oppose Cheap| Coffins—Livery Bills at Fu- nerals.

Some one has suggested that if re- ducing the cost of funerals is a part of the progranime the livery service calls for a remedy;that the livery *bills for funerals are ordinarily i something to make one gasp;that a liveryman who would —ordinarily «charge 50 cents or a dollar for a car- riage to the cemetery,will charge $5 ‘for that same carriage for a funeral —because it is a custom to,pile on the cost when it comes to handlingtfunerals. |Dr.Anderson and The ean’t remedy.all these once,and probably it to take one at a time.For transpor- ‘tation at funerals,maybe some good- jhearted soul will agree to put on a :jitney service. a The following communication from .@ lady reader of The Landmark is"encouraging:‘ 4 “Having just read your article in i Friday’s Landmark on ‘Funerals and ,sending you a_personal note of ap- Burials,’..I.could not refrain from Byrenstion.You said just what.I the planting of folks in coffins that sell for $12.But being engaged in Landmark things at but’was too timid to expresspinioninpublic.If people ~woul‘fpnly |listen—but they won’t+-hoifhensibletheywouldbe!When will,the maases..evertJearn,to.do.the prop-:~e regardless of public opin- mn”e my and some of the ad-| un-| a propaganda that would encourage| a righteous cause Dr.Anderson,aid-, would be best. ve wanted.to say for a long time,| etter@rcweOFCORRENTNEWS.

As a result of the conference:be- tween Secretary Lansing and Presi-dent Wilson,it is stated authorita-tively that no evidence of the break+ing of German promises xo the Unit-ed:States had heen discovered so farin’connection With the submarine ac-tivities off the American coast lastSunday,but that the American gov- ernment will.continue ‘its investiga-~~tiens-~and--will-watch-very-closely-anyrepetitionoftheattacks.-Administration .officials apparent-ly fear thatdifficulties’may result ifGermansubmarinewarfareiscarriedoutonalargescaleonthissideoftheAtlanticandthatthereforeitis“necessary for the government to seekallfactsobtainable.Because of this fear,it wis thought probable thatmeanswillbefoundfordiscovering whether Germany intends to contentherselfwiththedamagedonelastSunda}or will continue submarine warfare on this side of the Atlantic.Before any jplicy is determined upon,it is expected that the opinion of the neutrality board,created at the beginning of the war to advise the State Department in:regard to such -questions,will be consulted.The board was called into session imme- diately after the U-boat appeared onthissideoftheAtlanticandseveral meetings have been held since.Any decision it renders will be submitted to Secretary Lansing but will not be binding. *Evidence is accumulating to indi- cate that in case the actual opera- tions of submarines in the western Atlantic is guided by the principles of international law,their presence off the coast will not be considered offensive as was the case of the al; lied cruisers which the United States asked to have withdrawn earlier —in the war.Officials point out that the allied vessels were only a few milesofflandwhiletheU-boat operations were at least 50 miles off the near: est land and 70 miles from the main- land.It is realized,however,that should a practical blockade of Amer- ican ports develop the government would consider it had grounds for ac- tion.

That it is negligence for a minor to drive an automobile with the con- sent of the owner,in violation-of the State statute prohibiting person’un- der 16 years old to operate a ma-chine,is the ruling of the Supreme Court in the case of Taylor.adminis- trator,vs.J.W.Stewart,from NewBerna. On the strength of this ruling the Mlaintiff gets a new trial in a suit for damages in which Lee J.Taylor is the plaintiff,seeking to recover darh- ages for the death of his little child under the wheels of an automobile driven by James Stewart,son of the defendant,while a negro chauffeur sat beside him:The lad driving the machine was 13 years old.He had been allowed to drive the machine hy his father and it was pleaded by the prosecution that for this reason the chauffeur felt justified in letting the boy rin the car when the owner had really sent the car out with the chauffeur in charge. _Southern Acquired Carolina and Northwestern?

The club ‘will meet from time to time at the call of the president and hear speeches from prdminent Dem- ocrats to be invited.‘The member- ship will not be confined to those of voting age but will include all those who have arrived at the age when they desire to participate in the cayse of Democracy.Over 200-have al- ready enrolled as members of the club.y Motor Truck Overturned. A motor truck operated by a Mr. Marlowe,who said he was from High oint,turned over on the Will:esborc road,about five miles from States- ville,Wednesday night about 8 o’clock. The accident was due to the collapse of a tire.Mr,Marlowe escaped with a bruised shoulder and minor hurts. A young man who accompanied him whose name was not fearned,and two small beef cattle in the truck escap- ed injury.The truck was pretty bad- ly wrecked. ’Mr.Marlowe had been on a trip tonorthIredellandWilkesandhistruckwasloaded’with apples and the twoyearlings.The ear was running slowly when the accident occurred or a fill,not far from the Bristol farm The front wheels of the overturned machine were within a foot of-theedgeofafillandthatwasoll’theoutfit‘missed:going down about tenfdetyintoalravinewithjagged:roeksatthebottom...The escape from a [worse fate was narrow,|; A WILL NOT REFUSE ENTRY. Submarines Can Enter Our-Ports So Long as They Com- ply With Regulations. In August the Entente allies pro- posed to all neutral nations that /all belligerent submarines,whether warcraftliketheU-53 or .merchantmen like the Deutschland,should be de-nied access to neutral'waters.and neutral ports.The United States/re- plied promptly,refusing this request. The reply was not made publié until this week,when the German U-boatactivitiesseemedto.make a_publicstatementofthe‘government’s posi- tion imperative. In the answer it was stated that in the opinion of the government of the United Statesithe allied powers have not set forth any+circumstances, nor is the government of the ee States at present aware of,an¥cir- cumstances,concerning the use.ofwarormerchantsubmarineswhieh would render the existing rules of in- ternational law inapplicabie to them;and so far as the treatment of either war or merchant submarines:in American waters is concerned,the government of the United States re- serves its liberty of action in all re- spects and will treat such vessels as, in its opinion,‘becomes the action of a power which may be said to have taken!the first steps toward estab- lishing the principles—ef-.neutrality, and which for over‘a century has maintained those principles in thetraditionalspiritandwiththehighsenseofimpartialityinwhichthey were conceived. In order,however,that there should be no misunderstanding as to.the,at- titude of the United States,the gov- ernment announces to the allied pow-ers that it holds it to be the duty of belligerent powers to distinguish be- tween submarines of neutral and bel- ligerent nationality,and that respon- sibility for any conflict that may arise between belligerent warshipsandneutralsukmarinesonaccount.of the neglect of a belligerent to so dis- tinguish between these classes.of submarines must rest entirely upon the negligent power.; May Convert Theater Building Into Garage. The Statesville Theater on Center street,which the Messrs. McElwee,some time ago.purchasedfromDr.Grier’Miller and Mrs.W.A.Sample,may be converted into a varage.Work on the building is now in progress,but the garage proposi- tion,while pending,is not definitely settled.: Years ago a wooden building on this site was a_ledf tobacco ware- house.A cyclone knocked it to pieces in the spring of 1899 and then a brick building was erected for the sale of leaf tobacco:It fell into dis- use for that purpose and a few years ago the owners”spent considerable money converting it into a theater. It was well fitted up,was roomy,and seemed to fill a long felt want.But with the increased popularity of the moving pictures shows at the theater were poorly patronized and the thea- ter was not a paying investment. Now it may be converted into a gar- age.Pity!for aside from the court house it was the town’s only assembly hall except Shearer Music Hall at the college,and the:latter cannot of course be used for theatrical troupes. Tent shows will supply this need for a season and in a few years the de- mand.for a theater wil be so strong that somebody will invest a bunch of money fitting up a building—andmavbebythattimeitwiilbeworth while.

Various methods of tax-dodging had been resorted to,it is said —men made their property over to their wives and the wives had listed prac- tically no property,and so on. This tax-dodging is an old story and it is not peculiar to Wayne coun- ty or to North Carolina,It exists in greater or less degree in every coun- ty.Men who pose as leadingcitizens, who occupy the chief seats in"the synagogue’and sing “Jesus Paid it All”with an unction that would lead one to believe they were ready to be transported to the Celestial City without dying,do not.hesitate to rob the government—and_to rob their neighbors who bear their just pro- portion of the public burdens—by keeping back a part when it comes to tax-listing.The fact that they swear lies when they do that doesn’t cause| ‘them to halt,They soothe their consciences,when they have any,by saying “others do it,”“taxes are too high,anyhow,”or,“I pay more than the folks who talk about me.”In this respect also many-women,good wo- BLOODHOUNDS GOT HIM. mettre |Col.Fairbrother About to Be- come the Champion of the No- ble Dog —Race Proposed at Statesville. The Landmark has been pained to} note a weakening on the bloodhound| question on the.part of Col.®air-} brother of the Greensboro Record.| Recently he has proclaimed his neu-| trality so often that he fell under| suspicion;and now he boldly an-| nounces that the bloodhounds have} about captured him.Down in one of | the-eastern counties the other day| they “sent for bloodhounds”when | some cotton was missed,.While nos-| ing around in the woods trying to get on a rabbit track,the flop-eared | beasts ran over a_sack of cotton., Later,detecting the odor of food cooking in a negro cabin,the dogs went up to the cabin.The people in charge seem to have been unusual-| ly level-headed,for instead of arrest-) ing the negroes in the cabin and all who had lived there in a.year,and convicting them on the spot of the theft of the cotton,according to the usual bloodhound programme,they called off the dogs and said there was not evidence enough to convict. |Probably they recalled how Judge Bond threw the bloodhound testimo- iny out of Wake court. |But,mates.here's the sad part of ithe story:Col.Fairbrother was so |impressed by this incident he has ivirtually accepted “the bloodhound theory”and proposes to make the Record “the official organ of |the slandered bloodhound.”We expect, therefore,that Col.Postley,the col- |onel’s house dog,will be thrown out and a pair,or maybe a_half-dozen, |flop-eared hounds installed in his place.|So be it.The next time somebody |steals a chicken in Statesville The |Landmark is going to wire Col.Fair- |brother to come with his bloodhounds, jon a special train—the colonel paying |for the train.A stop will be made at |Thomasville tio receive Dr.Archibald men,who raise their hands in horror]Johnson and a couple of mules.When as they contemplate thd wickedness|Statesville is reached a great con- of this world,regard every cent of|course of citizens and a brass band | .h em cetiv|will meet the train and after a few tax paid as so much money UNnjUSLIY |broken remarks of welcome and due wrung from them,and they would emphasis on the importance of the keep back all if they could when the event,by the undersigned,the colo- tax-lister appears ;nel and his hounds and Dr.Johnson Sells PP a _,;and his mules will be put on the trail But all this is an old story,it S\of the thief,with appropriate cere- repeated.The interest just now a ge ge Hine the best man a authorities}The |Landmark must—candidlyta,see how oe Wayne oe ae sq |State,however,that it will not be come out.We're hoping they will’neutral in the contest.It will be on stand fast and wring from every tax-|the side of Dr.Johnson and his i ition,Mules.dodger every cent due,in add ] te exposing him—holding him up So Not an Ex-Judge—There is a that all can see the-zianner*of man|8 Difference he’i:But:we don’t expect that.)Greensboro Reon We've known these investigations to|If ex-Judge Cocke of Asheville had be started with a blare of trumpets|a perfect right to bring in nine gal- and later they dissolved into thin air.is of spo fea Hae noe keep it ‘because he wanted it for iS own use, The tax-dodgers of consequence are|why should we disturb-tourists who usually men of wealth and caren ace through with heavy laden suit nence and influence.“he men whose cases ?It is our opinion that.the ex- business it is to enforce the collection lucas ee pe en eo Meho gal of-taxes hold office by virtue of the|a“»peop |$9,500; Bar"4 not ex-judges have the same right. :totes of the populace.Except in rare cases they’re afraid to offend men of this type and men of this type know Mitts.Occasionally an officer of cour- -age,who believes that the law should ‘apply to all alike,starts out after the special privilege class and at once the political bosses and other start the ery:“Don’t!you'll hurt the par- ty;you'll hurt yourself;better let it go”—and usually they let it go. We have in North Carolina an an- tiquated and unjust system of tax assessment—one that bears unequal- aly,which is so administered that the less one has the more tax he pays in| proportion to what he has;and the more.he has the less he pays in pro- portion to what he has.But the peo- ple refused to endorse a_proposition toxchange the method.In addition our system of collecting taxes is too often haphazard,so that much is lost by incompetent or indifferent tax col- lectors failing to give due diligence to theif work. Mr.W.T.Bost,the Raleigh news- paper correspondent,is sure that Mr. O.Max Gardner of Cleveland and Mr. Cameron Morrison of.Mecklenburg are both,right now,running for Gov- ernor as hard as they can—that is, each wants to be the Democratic gu- bernatorial candidate four years hénce;and there are others who hold that Mr.Bost has it lined out right. Mr.Gardner is the Democratic nomi- nee for Lieutenant Governor_this year and will be elected,of course. If he wants to be Governor and The Landmark had been in his confidence, it:wWould have advised him to step the second place on the ticket this’year.The second pzace has not _proved a stepping stone to the first in North Carolina.In a half century onlyone man—and he had served out the unexpired term of a Governor— has been promoted from Lieutenant Governor to Governor in‘this State, though many good and able men have tried it.Mr.Gardner may be able to break the charm,for he is a man of ability and popular, Landmark sees it he will be handi- capped by precedent.

No Boll Weevil in the State: Correrpondence of The Landmark .At this season every year farmers find that many cotton bolls are not opening as expected.and in searching for a cause they notice insects or dis-eases which they have not seen he- fore.Only too often such “discover- ies”are reported to local papers and ere given publicity under suspicion that the “cotton boll weevil”is doing the damagé. Mr.Franklin Sherman,entomolo- gist in the State Department of Ag- riculture at Raleigh,wishes to em-vhasize the fact that while such re- vorts have been current each autumn for over 12 years,and while he has identified scores of insects sent to him under suspicion,yet no true specimen of cotton boll weevil has ever yet been taken in the State,and there is no reason to suspect that it is present.A disease _properly nown as anthracnose.which causesthebollstorot.has been the real cause of most of the complaints.The boll weevil is*now in the southwest- ern third of Georgia,not yet in the rest of that State,nor in South Car-olina,Mr.Sherman says that it will probably be from five to ten vearsbeforeitreachesthesouthernborderof.our State.: Bee-Keepers Asked to Write.

In 1913-the”toy exports United States amounted to , $10,000,000,but since then,owing to the British blockade,the volume of trade has sunk to,perhaps less than one-fourth of this sum.The neu- tral States,Holland,Denmark,Swe- den and Norway,have bought more toys but their increased trade use the | trans-Atlantic business.Austria-Hun-| gary,too,has taken more toys and the trade has been much better.| But,in spite of all this,the total | shrinkage in the annua]turnover 1s estimated at between GO and 70 per cent.; The shortage of raw materials,too, has caused the toy manufacturers enormous -inconvenience and .the enormous rise in.prices has injured) their trade still more.

Mr.Gerard has issued the follow- ing statement: “You may say that it is not true that I came home at-this time -to serve notice on the President of Ger- many’s intentions to repudiate pledges regarding the conduct of submarine warfare,or that Germany was contemplating the resumption of submarine attacks upon all kinds ofshipping. “T say to you,what I’said to a re- porter for The Berliner Tageblatt at Copenhagen before I sailed:I should not think of leaving my post at this time if I were not convinced that the relations between my country and Germany’were as friendly as they could be and gave every promise of continuing so indefinitely.” The War Zone.

Farm Loan Association For Iredell Organized Under Ru- ral Credits Law. A National Farm Loan Association for Iredell county,the operations of which are intended to cover the coun- ty,was organized in Statseville Sat- urday.Five hundred and fifty-three shares were subscribed,which meansithattheapplicationsforloansthrough the association,on the’number of shares already subscribed,will ag- gregate $55,300.The Landmark is authorized’to say that any others who may wish to join the association ‘can sign up within the week by apply- ing to Mr.W.L.Gilbert.: Directors of the ussociation were elected as follows:J..M.Watts,I.N.'Paine,F.B,Sample,O.O.Harwell, J.A.Brown.The directors elected J.M.Watts president,F.B.Sample vice president and W..L..Gilbert sec- retary and treasurer.This organization is temporary. When'the Farm Land Bank for this district is located—and the district is expected to be composed:of Virginia, North and South Czarolina—and gets under way,whch it is hoped will be early next year,the local association will apply for a charter and then willpermanentlyorganizeundcrthechar- ter.Much interest was manifested in the organization of the association Satur- day and in the explanations given of the workings of the Rural Credits act. Mr.E.E.Culbreth of Raleigh,repre-senting the markets and credits~di- vicion of the State Department of Agriculture,aciiressed the meeting at the court house and explained the law,the steps necessary to organize a local association and its operations. Many questions were asked Mr.Cul- breth,all of which he answered promptly,showing that he was en- tirely familiar with the subject.’Mr. Culbreth is a Statesville man,a son of Mr.and Mrs.E.W.Culbreth. For years he.was’engaged inthebankingbusinessinRaleigh and was selected for the work in which he is _now’engaged on account,of his familiarity with banking and credits.He has for some time been going about the State assisting in organizing and promot- ing Rural Credit Unions,which are formed.under the State law.In view of the fact that the Federal Rural‘ Credits act will soon become opera- tive,and:that it offers better opportunities to the farmers than the State law,Mr.Culbreth is now engaged,under the direction of the Department of Agriculture, in promoting the organization of Farm Loan Associations.Nine or ten of these associations have been organized in the State and so far the Iredell association seems to be the largest. Mr.Culbreth’s talk was cut short by the fact that he had to catch 2 train and when he had concluded the |meeting adjourned to the grand jury 'room—as the court room had to be used for other purposes—and later tc the Commercial club rooms,where the Rural Credits law and the workngs ¢ a local association were further e3 plained by Mr.W.L.Gilbert,secre- ‘tary of the Commercial club,and the{temporary organization effected.Mr 'Gilbert has made a siudy of this act and it was through,his efforts,with‘the aid of President Gibson of the ‘Farmers’Union,that the meeting was jelled for the purpose of organizing a local association.The early organi- zation is important.As soon as the |District Land Bank is located and ready for business,tHe local associa-tions that have formed temporary or- ganizations will be ready to.apply foe charters and will be first served. T.V.Terrell Dead—Victim of Automobile Accident. It was mentioned in The Landmark a week ago#that Dr.H.F.Long of Statesville had been called to Coolee- mee on the previous Sunday night to see T.V.Terrell,who was seriously injured in an automobile accident. Mr.Terrell.died Friday morning. Mr.Terrell was returning to Con- cord,from a_visit to his family at Cooleemee,Sunday of last week,and in attempting to pass another ma- chine his car struck a sand bank and was turned over.He was pinned un- der the steering wheel,several of his ribs were broken,his chest crushed and his lung and a kidney punctured: Mr.Terrell was about 50 years old and is survived by his wife and two children,his mother and_several brothers and sisters.He was a na- tive of Haywood county and his re- mains were taken to Asheville for burial.He was a prominent cotton mill man;was with a mill at Ashe- ville,was for some-years secretary and treasurer and later general man- ager of the Cooleemee mills.Since jlast spring he had been secretary and ;treasurer of the Locke Cotton Mills Company of Concord.He was a di- rector of the Erwin Cotton Mills ofWestDurham,a director of the Bank of Cooleemee and was_interested in other entérprises at Cooleemee.He j Was a member of the Presbyterian,Church and a deacon in the church at Cooleemee.

Ministers Refuse to EndorsePlantoEstablishHome—in Statesville —American’Res- cue Workers’.Organization Unworthy of Conxdence. Some weeks ‘ago it was stated:«in The Landmark’that Adjutant’andMrs.Gossett,representing the Amer- ican Rescue Workers,were in States- ville and proposed to establish ahomeforabandonedchildrenanda detention home for fallen.women; that what’is known as the Lowrance place,on the Mocksville road,just beyond the eastern limits of States- ville,had been.rented for the pur-pose and that the home would.be opened about November Ist.Prior to this announcement Adjutant and Mrs.Gossett had been soliciting for the home and it is supposed they have since solicited.They asked TheLandmarktocommendtheirwork, and commendation was delayed until‘further information could be obtain- ed.The Ministerial Association was asked to endorse the proposed home, but the ministers held the matter’in abeyance until they could get infor-mation.At their meeting yesterday the ministers acted and the following is the result: “The Ministerial Association —of Statesville was reauested by repre-sentatives of the American Rescue Workers to”give to them an-endorse= ment of their plan to establish’a Rescue Home in Statesville.We have made a full investigation of the work of this organization-in Charlotte and: many other places and cannot recom- mend the people to support this plan,“MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION OFSTATESVILLE. “S.W.HADDON,V.President.“CHAS.ANDERSON,Sec’y.”The Ministerial Association has received a long report of the investi- gations of the work of the American Rescue Workers in various cities of the country and this report—docu-mentary evidence,newspaper clip- pings of reports of court proceedings and police raids—show that the or- ganization known as the American Rescue Workers is in bad repute throughout:the country,where its work has been investigated;that its representatives have been arrested at different places for fraud and worse offences.One paragraph from =an investigation made in .Charlottereads: “The American Rescue’Workers were driven out of Charlotte by the action of the city executive board in August,1914.They were found to be conducting a maternity home on very doubtful lines;and in the testi- mony given before the board by va- rious physicians,it was brought out that the children of unmarried moth- ers were not given proper care.” This is a sample of one of many charges brought against the organi- zation and its representaives——all es- tablished by satisfactory evidence from many places where he organiza- tion known as the American Rescue Workers has operated, The Landmark has atso_received Acharges against Adjuiant Gossett signed by Envoy S.A.Dillman of the Salvation_Army,-stationed in Salis- bury;and Andrew Crawford,briga-dier of the Salvation Army,writes The Landmark from Atlanta that “Mr.Gossett’s work in the Salvation Army was very unsatisfactory.At least this was so under my command,” etc.The Landmark had expected to present these charges to Adjutant Gossett and give him an opportunitytomakeanswerbeforetheywerepublished.But it understands that he is quite ill at his home here and will have to go to Paltimore for treatment,and for this reason the details of these charges are not giv- en., _It is proper to say that the Amer: ican Rescue Workers were formerly known as the American Salvation Ar- my.They had to drop this name by court order and became known as the American Rescue Workers,although their uniforms are so similar to those of the Salvation Army that the gen- eral public cannot distinguish he- tween them in the matter of dress. The Salvation Army people are hot after the Rescue Workers generally, who they say confuse the public as to the real Salvation Army and disered- it it by their conduct.The Rescue Workers say they are persecuted by the Salvation Army. But.whatever the facts mav be astoAdjutantGossettpersonally—and The Landmark does not now under- take to pass on his case for the reas- on stated—it is very clear.from the evidence secured by the Ministerial Association,that the American Res- cue Workers’organization is unwor- thy of public confidence and it fol- lows that any one working under the name of that organization cannot ex- pect support. These facts are stated for the hen- efit of the nublic,who may be gov- erned accordingly. Had a Reason. “You'll have to stop my paper.” said a man who came into The Land- mark office the other day.“My wife’s left me and IT can’t read.I gave her no cause to leave,”he constinued. “Tf she ever comes batk or I can get somebody to rend the paper to me,” he said,“Ill subscribe again.” That man is_ina bad fix.To he deprived of a wife and this Fireside Companion at the same time was a double affliction.and we're hoping for his sake as well as our own that the lady will reconsider and return.to her husband.Meantime there was noth- ing to do but stop the paper.That nae THE BOYS ON THE BORDER Capt.Westmoreland Writes An Interesting Story of Their Experiences.: Corresponaence of ‘T@e Landmark. El Paso,Texas,Ocf¥-M —FromthehoysonthebordertoTheLand- mark and the good people of States- ville and Iredell county:We feel that The Landmark and most all the peo- ple bave forgotten the boys in brown who answered the call of the Presi- dent on the 19th of June,1916,as we have failed to get a single copy of The Landmark and very little mail since we arrived here.Still I feel that there will be some who would like to know how we.are getting along and know something about this eountry.We,who know nothing of this country except what we gather from.the’newspapers,have lots to learn.I wish so much some good writer could have the opportunity to have experiences that I have had He could tell you something interest- ing about this country and the situa- tion of things. We had aé_delightful trip from Camp Glenn to El Paso.We were five days and nights on the road—left Camp Glenn Monday morning,Sep- tember 25th,and arrived at Fort Bliss,Texas,the morning of Septem- ber 30th.Then our,experiences _be- gan.On our way here we detrainedtwice,first in Atlanta and marched through the city—about~three~mites;+ next at New Orleans,where we marched about four miles,the route leading through about four milesvof the principal streets of the city,and rain fell during the entire journey. The troops got soaking wet and had no dry clothes to put on,so the best we eould do was to “warm up on the inside a little and feel good and rich one time,”then have a_few little friendly scraps,and a!l was over and ready for duty.We marched from Fort Bliss about three Triles north and pitched camp in shelter tents un- til we could get permanent campquarters.Sunday afternoon we took the camp site previously occupied by the First Pennsylvania regiment, which departed for their home station in Philadelphia in the train we made the trip on.Since*that time we have been very busy getting our camp in shape,but the first experience was the dust.Actually the dust was so bad you-could not tell who a man was ten steps and»the wind blew at an awful gale.You hear all among thebuys,“I told you not to join the ar- my,but you wouldn’t listen to me; you said you were a man.Now you may show Uncle Sam what you are. You have been wanting to go _to Mexico and now you are here.I want to go home,but nothing doing.,You are in the army now.”In fact \it:is rich to hear the different fool remarks made among the men.It was disagreeable for the first few de but the wind has ceased now and \ev- erything is much more_satisfactory than when we first came. The weather is fine.We have a shower but the little rain we here does not amount to anythi You can’t tell in a few hours that ever had a rain.The only rain thhavehereis-in-August.No crops afe grown in this country on account of the season.The land is good but the farmers cannot produce snythif —not even a tree.I have been o¥t in the country some distance but havenotseenatreeofanykind.The boys who spent the summer here say it was “simply hell on earth.”We have some frouble with our lips get- ting dry and cracking but I think they will soon be better,as the weath- er is getting cooler.It never gets very cold here;snows some in Febru- ary and March.We have a beautiful camp,surrounded by mountains.I have been down to the Rio Grande but could not get over,as no soldiersarepermittedtocross.Our soldiers have charge of¢this end of the bridge and the Carranza forces on the oth- er end.You can seé them patrolling on the other side,as the river is only 50 to75 yards wide.They look to be a poor class of soldiers and poorly equipped.I want to go to Jaurez to a bull fight Sunday afternoon,but don’t know whether I will get to go or not,as the regulations do not per- mit soldiers crossing,but I think I will take a shot at it.,One of my friends told me about being there last Sunday.The sights,he said,were great.He said he did not stay as long as he wanted to;they started a rough house and began to shoot,so he thought he had better vacate and give them plenty of room,as he did not have his irons with him.Every- body is searched’going both ways.I find that Villa has more friends here than any man in Mexico and the peo- ple that know him say he is not guilty and is not responsible for the hun- dredth part he is charged with.They say he was not at Columbus at all, was wounded later by Carrgnza troons but has recovered and is/one of the most active men in Mexico today; and some think he will/be President yet.Most everybody says Carranaa is no good.Our troops are all very anxious to go into Mexico,but we can’t tell yet whether we will get the opportunity.But things are far from being settled.There is some disturb- ance all along the border all thetime.We,have 45,000 troops in thisplaceandwefeelthatwecanattend to ¢hem on short notice:if they would only give us an opportunity. Our boys are in fine shape;no one sick at all.We have not done muchdrillingsincewecameherebutwe are expecting our time to come soon. The most of our work here will behikingthroughthecountryandpa- trolling.We are in hopes we will be man,had.a,reason,detached on patrol duty soon,as |we Boll ‘Weevil Infected Cotton From Texas.’ Mr.W.G.Templeton of States- ville,who is in Texas on,a?business trip,sends The Landmark a_couple of bolls of cotton infectea by the boll weevil,the insect which-has so large- ly destroyed the cotton crop in manysectionsoftheSouth.These cotton bolls,securely corked in a bottle,areonexhibitionatTheLandmarkoffice. Writing of his observations of the weevil in Texas,Mr.Templetonsays: “Texas has no top crop.The boll weevil has destroyed it.I saw ten acres of cotton,stalks six feet high, that will not make one bale of cot- ton.The land .that makes.cotton now in the boll weevil infected coun- try,is the poor red,land,neavily fer- tilized with potash,and planted in 6-foot rows and double distance to allow plenty of sunshine.The weev- il can’t thrive in the direct rays of the sun.Rich land makes the weed too rank and it opens too late.The weevil begins to operate here after July lst and to get any crop the cot- ton must be made before this time in this latitude.The weevil attacks the small bolls first and when.they are all filled with eggs it begins punctur- ing the larger and full grown bolls, as you can see by sample I send.I visited a gin and saw thousands.of them scurrying out from under the gin,the saws having shaken themout.My impression is that thou- folds of the cotton in the bales.” Committeés _Appointed—Demo- cratic Club Meeting Tonight.

Mr./Long in Randolph. A correspondent writing fromAsheborg|to the Charlotte Observer has this to say of Mr.Z.V.Long of Statesvillé,who was campaigning for the Democrats ‘in Randolph countylast.week: “Large)audiences greeted Mr. Long and the candidates everywhere. y|No one has been_to-this county whohaspleasedourpeoplebetterthan Mr.Long.He is not only an elo- quent Speaker but is a.gocd mixer and krows how to talk with the peo- ple ag well as to them,and he pre- ‘sents the Democratic arguments in a plain,forceful,.entertaining and in- telligent manner.Democrats say that his speeches have been of great val- ue in this county.”; Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria. There are a number of cases of scarlet fever in town,about sixteen cases up to yesterday,according to Dr.Ross McElwee,county physician. There is also some.diphtheria in mild form.Every case of fever and diph- theria is being quarantined as quickly as its existence becomes known to the officers,who are especially anxious that all cases be reported as soon astheyaredeveloped. are anxious to get some real expe- rience.There is lots of game in this country and you all know I am a fool about hunting/I have been killing some quail and jack rabbits.The first day in our camp the boys caught and killed about 20 rattlesnakes and caught a number of prairie dogs. Some of them have their tents full of rattlesnakes and other varmints that no one knows what they are.A soldier will try anything——once. A number of us took a hike to the largest mountains in these parts Sunday.Some made the ‘trip and some fell by the wayside.This was a hard,dangerous trip of about 24 miles and was awful rough.The high- est point we reached was about 6,000 feet.The experience was great but Iam well satisfied and care to about the mountains.I am going to Redland,New Mexico,some time soon to visit Mr.Carl Turner and Mr.John P.Flanigan,whom you all will recall as natives of Iredell.

The singers had first go,then the Farmers’Union.The Rural Cred- is meeting was advertised for 12.15, but it was some time after that be-‘fore the Union folks were ready to‘open the doors.Consequently Mr. ‘the Rural Credits bill,was hampered by the noise,along near 1 o’c!ock, when the folks interested in the singing began to come into the court house,the singing being scheduled to| resume at 1.Finally President Gib- son of the Farmers’Union announced that they would have to give way to the singers and that all in the Rural Credits matter were in- vited to retire to the grand jury room,where the hearing would be continued.“I regret this conflict,” with the meeting,but these afflictions will come.” Mr.Gibson doubtless didn’t mean to intimate that the singing was an “affliction”but that the conflict -in the meetings was the “affliction,”but it could have been construed the oth- ‘er way.

At a meeting at the Commercial club rooms Friday evening the Associ- ated Charities of Statesville was for- mally organized.This organizaton was agreed upon at a meeting of citi- zens at Broad Strect Methodist church last’January,and a charter was secur- ed by which the association was duly incorporated.The purpose is for this organization to take over all the char- itable work of the town —including that done by the Benevolent and Re- lief Association,the work of the vis- iting nurse,which has been directedbyacommittee,and other similar work. The idea is to make the organization representative of the citizenship of Statesville,in which there wyl be a community interest,and therefore it is not promoted by the churéhes or any particular organization,although the churches and other organizations interested in this work are expected to,and will of course,aid in its pro- motion.In fact the Ministerial Asso- the city pastors, new organization and because itsuggestedthe _to.promote it,solely WILSON’S CAMPAIGN FUND,| The Landmark’s Wilsen fund jump-| ed $21 yesterday.The total since’ last report is $23 and 'the amountnowinhandis$77..To Mr.C.8,Tom- lin is due most of thé credit for the!boost yesterday.Mr.Tomlin had already contributed to the campaignfundthroughothersources,“but hecameinyesterdaytoaddsomethingtoTheLandmark’s Wilson fund.Hewasdisturbedthatitwasnotgrow- ing faster and he went out and pags-'Ladies’Suits,Coats,Skirts, ed the word around,collecting anumberofsubscriptionshimself.and stirring up others.Following are the contributors:| Sherwood Bonner,Alabama L.C.Steele C.S.Tomlin J.F.Carlton F.B.Bunch J.L.Sloan Herman Wallace J.H.Hoffmann Stamey Holland N.B.Mills J.F.Bowles Jno.G.Colvert Sig.Wallaceé R.W.Zeigler « Previously reparted -$1.00 1.00 2.00 1,00 1,00 2.00 3.00 2.00 1,00 1.00 5.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 Total The constitution and by-laws adopt- president,secretary,treasurer and an the fifth member of the The executive committee ident to be committee. zation were named as the first beard of directors They are:R.R.Clark Shelton,B.F.Long,W.A.

Mr.Feimster spoke of the good character of the boy's father,Rev.M.A.Matheson,and of his prand- father.He said he realized the un- certainty of what a jury might do and for this reason had agreed to the terms that no effort.would be madeforclemencyinbehalfof“Matheson.Messrs.Long,Caldwellyh Weather:man,the other attorney§in the case, spoke briefly of their reasons for ac-quiescence in the settlement ‘of thecase. Judge Carter stated that he ap-proved heartily the action in the matter,imposed the maximum sen-tence on Matheson and asked the at-torgeys to prepare and reduce towrRingtheagreementandjudgmentinthecase.

Two incidents that caused someexcitementoccurredwhilethecere-ee attendant upon the unveilingoftheLaugenourmonumentwasinprogressRainyafternoon.A tomb-stone fell on a little child of Mr.andMrs.W.E..Deaton,inflicting a se-rious wound;and.soon afterward amamberofadelegationofvisitingWoodmenfainted.-QOn the outskirts of the largecrowd.present td witness the ceremo- ny were Mr.and Mrs.W.E.Deaton, who live on Fifth street,in southStatesville,and their children. Playing about the grounds Rachel,their 93-year-old daughter,caughtholdofasmallmarbleheadstoneat ,;a grave.The stone toppled over and :fell on the child.Instantly the cries {i of the mother attracted’attention-and many hurried to the aid of thechild,whose bleeding forehead caus- o——~—~ered fear thatthe injury was fatal:Mr- j L.B.Bristol.caught the victim in his arms,an automobile was summoned and accompanied by the distressedmotherthelittlesuffererwashurried to the Sanatorium,where an exami- nation disclosed that the injury was not fatal.It was a scalp wound and a slight fracture of the orbit over the left eye.: That the wound was not fatal is almost a miracle.The slab that fell on the child is about two and a half to three feet high,probably 15 to 18 inches wide,three to four inches thick and would weigh 150 to 200 pounds.If the little girl had receiv- ed the full force of the fall the,inju- ry would doubtless have been fatal. The slab stood on a base and an at- tempt had been made to fasten it with a small iron rod,but it was in- 'secure that it was easily toppled over.Many of.the smaller stones and some of the larger monuments in the cemetery can be thrown down with little pressure and are danger- ous when any force strikes them. Before the excitement following this incident had passed,Mr.Basin- ger,a member of the Forest_Hill team of Woodmen.from Concord— the team in charge of the unveiling .ceremonies—fell in a faint.He was soon revived,was brought up town in an automobile and given medical at- tention by Dr.E.M.Yount,and was able'to go to his home in Concord that evening.' Union Service Next Sunday Evening and Its Purpose. In July both houses of Congress passed resolutions,suggesting |that the President,in view of the misery, wretchedness and hardship which the Syrian and Armenian people are suf-fering as a result or the war,set aside a day on’which the people of »this country might give expression to their sympathy by contributing to the funds now being raised for the relief of the Armenians and Syrians.The President issued the proclamation, naming Saturday and Sunday,Octo- ber 21 and 22.Finding.it inconven- iént to observe these days,the Minis-terial Association of Statesville de-cided to hold a union service at Broad Street Methodist church next Sunday evening,29th,at whrcn time the peo-ple of Statesville will be given an op- portunity to contribute to this Syr-ian-Armenian relief fund.Dr.H.M.Parker will preach at this union serv- ice.No statement in behalf of the stricken Armenians and Syrians.could --hardly make the case too strong. *They have been murdered and outrag- ed by thousands,driven from their homes and are literally starving. Any help given them will be a contri- bution to the cause o?humanity,for they are as destitute as it is possible for a people to be. North Carolina Second in Cot- ton Manufaetured.

The exercises were scheduled tobeyinat1.30 p.m..but did not begin until 2,“Nearer My God,to Thee” was sung at the opening by a quartet composed of Messrs.Chas.Echerd. C.E.Sloan,J.B.Reece and H.B. Woodward,who later sang “CrossingtheBar.”Mr.E.R.Widenhouse of Concord read from the ritual the serv- ice for such_-occasions;the-monument was unveiled and salt,Ail and water poured on.Following this Miss Wil- lie Nicholson recited “Woodcraft”and the oration by Mr.W.C.Feim- ster followed.* After paying proper tribute to Dr. Laugenour,Mr.Feimster said his sub- ject was love—tlove thy |neighbor as thyself,”which is like unto the first and great commandment.Mr.Feim- ster was heard with interest:He is a native of Iredell,a former resident of Statesville and has many friends here who are always glad to weleome him to Statesville.The exercises were closed with prayer by Rev.J.F.Kirk. Mr.Sinclair Friday Night. Mr.N.A.Sinclair of Fayetteville, Democratic elector-at-large,spoke at the court house Friday night.He was introduced by Mr.Jno.A.Scott,Jr., and spoke about two and a half hours.Mr.Sinclair said he had spoken all over the State since the campaignopenedandfoundprospectsbright for the Democrats.Most everywhere he had been he had found old-time Re- publicans who are going to vote forWilson.He argued that politics is a matter of business,to get the govern- ment in the best hands,and that a man who is not interested in politics for this purpose is a bad citizen.The only way to have good government is pen one of the political parties and the record of the parties is _the only rule by which to decide on the better of the parties.He reviewed the history of both the Democratic and Republican parties from their foundation,charging that the nation- al Republican party was born of hos- tility to the Southern States and claiming that the Democratic party is the great national party without sec- tionalism.; Mr.Sinclair recited and bitterly ar- raigned the history of the Republican party in the State when it had controlofthe-government.Marion’Butler and Butlerism in the State /was de- nounced at length.The last few min- utes of Mr.Sinclair’s speech were on national issues. Mr.Sinclair spoke at Harmony Fri- day. Baseball in Court. Dr.J.F.Carlton,secretary and treasurer of the Western Carolina Baseball League,has brought suit against the Gastonia Baseball Asso- ciation to recover the $250 bond put up by that team as a guarantec not to “quit the game”during the past baseball season.The league was com-posed_of Statesville.Morganton,Gas-tonia and Kannapolis and played the past summer.Each team gave $250 bond to be forfeited in the event.it did not play out the season.Gastonia, Morganton and Kannapolis dropped out before the season was over and hence the suits to recover the bonds The suit against Gastonia was to have been heard here this week but will go over on account of a techni- cality in the summons issued for the appearance of the bondsmen.Aftef the suit against Gastonia is settled similar action will be taken against Morganton and Kannapolis.

Price of Cotton in ’68 —Quota- tions From an Old Paper. The Landmark has.received abun- dant testimony to fix the price of;cot- ton at figures exceeding the present price for several years after the Civil War.Mr.T.M.Phifer of Statesville furnishes a copy of the New York Day-Book,a weekly paper published in New York and bearing date of July 18,1868.On that date the Day- Book quoted “Ordinary”cotton,“up- land and Florida,”at 27 1-2 cents; Mobile 27 3-4,New Orleans 28,Texas 28 3-4.“Good ordinary”was quoted, under the headings named,at 29, 29 1-4,29 1-2 and 29 3-4,respectively. Low middling 30 1-2,30 3-4,31 and 31 1-4.Middling 32,32 1-4,32 1-2 and 32'3-4.“Ordinary”has now disap- pgared in the matter of cotton grades. This Day-Book was a Democratic naper and it was boosting strong for Horatio Seymour of New York and Frank P.Blair of Missouri,who had just been named as the Democratic candidates for President and Vice President.The notification ceremon-nies at Tammany Hall are described as “one of the grandest of the grand scenes on this continent since its dis- covery by «Christopher Columbus.” Gen.Grant,who was’the Republican candidate for President,was describ- ed as “a stolid.ignorant,matter-of- fact soldier.”The paper has many interesting things which The Land- mark hopes to draw on when time and Hugh Sweep- at space permit. Otto Wood in Jail in Tennessee. Otto Wood of Wilkes county,the white man who is alleged to have been the leader of the band of auto- mobile thieves cperating in High Point,Winston-Salem and Wi!kes-boro a few weeks ago,has been cap- nooga,Tenn.Wood seems to heave been unable to resist thé temptation to “borrow”autamobiles even in Chattanooga,as it is stated that he is held for trial for yvne larceny of an 1utomobile there. When Wood reached Chattanooga he was driving a machine tiat fills thedescriptionofonestolenfromClemWrennofNorthWilkesboro.He soldthis_Machine and stole ,another,ac- cording to the information.North Carolina authorities are anxious to get Wood but the Chattanooga folks will doubtless hold him for the lar- ceny of the car there.

Mr.and Mrs.Sam napolis,Ind.,are vistting Mr.andMrs,J.E.Tharpe.Mrs.Cary’'s fa-ther,Mr.William Pyles,was raised in north Iredell and left this county just after the Civil War and located in Indiana,where he‘married.Mrs.Cary says she has heard her father speak..of..Statesville and Ire- dell county and she had not formed much opinion of this country.Since coming here she has changed her mind and thinks it ahead of Indiana in many respects and thinks she may come here to live.

The advisability of arranging for an exhibit of.Statesville-made goods was presented to the association by President A.W.Bunch,who had.al- ready worked out a_tentative plan for the exhibit and sccured permis- sion for the use of a-very suitable ex- hibit hall.The room available is the first floor of the handsome new build- ing of the Lazenby-Montgomery Hardware Co.on Cenzer street,a few steps north of the square,which is nearing completion.The show room will be ready for occupancy about De-cember Ist and the owners have very kindly agrééd-to~-give-the—Merchants’ “MADE IN | Association free use of it for oneweek.The plan is to decorate the show room and allot space in it to each of the Statesville manufacturers who desire to display their goods, making a charge for space sufficient to bear the actual expenses of the un- dertaking.After being alloted space, the manufacturer may display hisgoodsinwhatevermannerhemay choose.A list of possible exhibitors had already been prepared by Mr. Bunch and others,and it was surpris- ingly large.When one sxops to think, it is realized that many articles are manufactured in -Statesville,an ex- hibit of samples of which would make a most creditable display.The dis- play of the goods would not only openoureyestowhatStatesvilleisdoing in.the way of manufacturing,but)it should also prove to be of ‘great ad- vertising value,in that outsiders will be invited to see it. The discussion of the “Made in Statesville’exhibit excited consider- able interest and the advisability of securing additional floor space for the same period of time and arranging for agricultural exhibits,and exhibits by the merchants themselves,was also discussed.It was pointed out that the addition of these two features wouldvirtuallygiveus.a fair,with the ex-ception of live stock.And it is be- dieved that the exhibit of Statesville- made goods alone will be a fore-run- ner of a fair.The entire county would be asked to take part in the exhibit of manufactured goods but for the fact that the space available for the ex- hibit is not sufficient to accommodate a county affair.It is quite probable, however,that space will be allotted totheTomatoClubgirlsandtheCornClubboys,who hold annual exhibits and are already -prepared for such. Other features may also be added.In fact the whole matter was piaced in the hands of a committee composed of President Bunch,Secretary LeonardandMessrs.J.A.Brady,C.Watkins and B.L.Sronce,who will report to a special meeting of the association to be held next Friday evening at 8 o’clock. Bv invitation a committee-of the Mechanics’band and Dr.C.A.Turner met with the association for a further consideration of the plan of the asso- ciation to organize a band on a per- manent basis.Members of the Me- chanics’band and a few of the for- mer members of the former “up town”organization have already been practicing and are making fair prog- ress.The committee representing this aggregation of musicians stated that they are ready to fall in line with the association’s plan,provided a di-rector and practice hall is furnished. Dr.Turner.who is the unanimous choice for director,endorsed the asso- ciation’s plan and agreed to considertheassociation’s proposals for his services.. The association’s band committee vresented its plan for securing the band instruments bought in the past by public subscription ror use in the new band.The committee,which isComposedotI>Paul vieonard=Ae -¥s Alexander and C.EF.Sloan,proposes to ask the subscribers to the band fund to assien their interests to the association.thereby giving the sssoci- ation permission to collect the instru- ments.The list of the subscribers and the contracts and agreements un-der which the instruments were pur- chased and loaned to members of the former band,are already in hand.The committee will be glad to hear from subscribers to this fund.and from persons who will play in the new band.In addition to those already varticipating in the practices,a num- ber of others who play instruments have offered their services and the in- dications are favorable to a’good band.The Merchants’Association proposes to be responsible for the hand and give it any backing neces- sarv. The association agreed to appropri- than six months,to the Civie League toward the exnense of maintaining ¢,the ladies’rest room.2 After voting favorably on the ap- Dlication of the Harris-Goodwin Com- pany for membership in the associa- tion,the meeting was adjourned.until next Friday evening.

Pensions For Episcopal Clergy.

A resolution adopted by the House ;of Deputies provides for a commis /sion to urge the national administr a-}g tion “to restore the Episcopal Church to representation among the armyandnavychaplainsinproportionto the number of Episcopalians in the country and to request the adminis- tration to get definite information as to the religious affiliation.of cur sol- diers and_sailors.” In.his first speech of the campaign, at Fayetteville last week,Senator|Simmons declared that if Charles E. Hughes would tell the peopleof the country that if elected he would re- peal the great measures placed on the statute books by Wilson and the Dem-ocratic party—the Federal reserve bank system,the farm loan bank sys- tem,the F ederal Trade Commission, the Federal income tex Jaw and the ships purchase bill—-Hughes would’ not carry a single State in the Union: Woodrow Wilson,said Senator Sim- mons,in the railway strike crisis rose\to the height of the world’s great heroga.He was told,:said Mr.Sim- mons,that his intervention possibly meant his and his party’s death,butthePresidentsaid:“My personal for-} tunes do not weigh in’the balance with the danger to the —people,”andheintervenedandsettledthestrike,“and by all the»gods he settled it right,”declared the Senator.Sy There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, jand for years it was supposed to be incurable. |Doctors prescribed locr|remedies,and by con=|stantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounceil it incurable.Catarrh is a local disease,greatly influenced by constitutional conditions and therefore requires constitutional ‘treatment.Hall's Catarrh Cure,manufactured iby F.J.Cheney:&Co.,Toledo,Ohio,is a;constitutional remedy,is taken internally and |aets through the Blood on the Mucous’Sure jfaecs of -the System.One Hundred Dojlarg|rowar:dis offered for any ease that Hall's:CayjtarrhCurefailstocure.Send for circulars and tentimonials,J:CHENEY &CO.,Sold by Druggists,I6e.Hall’s Family Pills for constipation, Toledo,Ohio, Aad JS OM oll BY of snot’ |the _Nivor,was:picked up by a car ferry Rumanians—have been forced back—intheBuzeuvalley.Bucharest,howev- er,asserts that counrer--attacks by the Teutonic allies were repulsed at the point of the bayonet.

Real Dogs of War. Real dogs of war are performing wonderful feats for opposing hosts in the gigantic European struggle,says a Paris dispatch. Historians after the war will not overlook the Red Cross dog that has distinguished itself by saving lives, warding off surprise attacks and car- rying dispatches through zones where enemy fire was so intense it was not ;safe to send a human/messenger. One of the most-notable dogs of the war was Marauis,the famous_regi- mental dispatch-bearer of the French army.At the battle of Sartebourg on Belgian front,Marquis was en- trusted with an important dispatch to be carried through a zone swept by intense Prussian fire.Marquis had gone only 100 yards when he was shot.He crawled back with the un- delivered message,fell at his master’s fect and died.His soldier comrades buried him and placed a monument over his grave.Pell,Podge,North,Bac and Ruff are.other famous war dogs.They were a great help to the French in driving the Prussians out of Bos- inghe Woods in one of the Ypres en- gagements.In the allied armies ev- ery regiment has its canine mascot. 21.Drowned When Went Down. -Twenty-one members of the crew) the steamer,James B.Colgate! were drowned in Lake Erie Friday, night when the Colgate,bound from Buffalo to Fort William,Ont.,with coal,went down in a storm off Erie, ennsyl¥ania.The tragedy became pennss ‘Sunday when Capt.Walter Grashaw of Cleveland,O.,sole sur- Steamer and taken to Conneaut,Ohio,after “peing afloat 84 hoursonealife raft a Capt.Grashaw,who was master of |the Colgate for only two weeks,be-| came unsconcious svon after picked up but was able to tell part of the story of the disaster.Nineteen of the crew,he said,| were drowned when the yessel foun-| dered and two others,Second Engin- eer Harry Ossman vo?Cleveland and| an unnamed coal passer,were wash-| ed from the life raft after exposure |and exhaustion had rendered them | helpless./ree Can’t Care For All Insane..

In Iredell,for instance,a $400,000 road bond issue was spent and since then an additional $100,000—making a total of a half million on roads.In addition the county has,within the past few years,built a new jail and a new county home and has paid for a new court house built about 15 years ago.The News-Letter used the fig- ures as evidence that in the coun- ties where the per capita cost was lowest there wasa lack‘of ‘progress— little if any modern improvements. The Landmark has not at hand at this writing the News-Letter’s article, but it was printed in this paper at the time and explained.It wasshown that at the time the per capita cost was hundreds of thousands or dollars on our roads,which raised the amount to $6.91 for that particular period, whereas the average per capita cost was much less.It is a fact,also,that| at the period the figures were made| neither Davie nor Yadkin had made the road expenditure’they have since made.If the amount spent on roads; in Davie,Yadkin,Surry and Stokes,| and the amount Wilkes will spend in the next year or.so,had been figured| in the per capita cost of these coun-| ties,as was the case in Iredell,there | |would be a marked increase over the! News-Letter’s figures—and to.the credit of the counties named.Cer-! tainly Iredell has no apology to make! for the expenditure in this county.| We're proud of it;we've got some-| thing to show for it.The Record,the! Republican paper published in Mocks-| ville,says not enough money has! roads built by the $175,000 bond issue| in Davie county and it very properly! favors providing more money for road| maintenance.This would meanhigh-| er taxes of course.Low taxes are by no means always an unmixed bless- ing. But talking about taxes,the facts show that in the 16 counties of the State under Republican control the average tax rate is $1.019 against an average of 96.7 in the 84 Democratic counties of the State.In Iredell the total tax rate is only $1.05 on the $100,25 cents of this being for roads;and~Tredell,it will be seen, has a lower tax rate than the aver- age in the Republican counties.

ELLETEEAI THE FEELING FOR WILSON. A.staff correspondent of the New York Post,who is touring the West to gain information as to the political situation,regards Colorado as_safe for the Democrats.The people are with him,says the correspondent,and a “strange sentimentalism,almost fa- naticism,is to be found,not alone in Denver,but in thé rural districts, where Republicanism ordinarily abounds.”Considering the heartfelt enthusiasm among the people for,the President as this correspondent finds it,he thinks Mr.Wilson,if he lost the election,could well feel happy in the affection the common people of Colorado seems to bear him.It should been sup- porting Wilson,and its correspondent| are. This “sentimentalism,almost fa- naticism,”which the Post writer. found among the peopte for the Pres- ident,reminds The Landmark of a North=Caro}ina--Republican;-who--con-} fided to a friend that he had found among the people a.sentiment.that| the President is “foreordained and, predestined”to manage the affairs of the nation at this particular time. That idea,he said,is hurting the Re- publicans;and this Republican,who is something of a Calvinist,admitted that down in his heart he,too,had a troubled feeling thai tne thing was fixed that way.- The folks who man-handled the Chicago women who’displayed anti- Wilson streamers on the occasion of the President’s,visit were of course in the wrong and deserve censure. The women invited what they got, they began the discourtesy and de- serve little sympathy,but the action! of those who assaulted them can’t be | approved.It was wrong:of itself andunwiseasamatterofpolicy. “Subscriber,”writing from Leaks- ville to the Greensboro News,nomi- nates Dr.Archibald Johnson for Governor four years hence;and The Landmark hastens to claim the priv- ilege of the floor to second the nom- ination—and to second it several times,if need be. zations.‘3“Never at any time within the last|450yearshavetheworkershadmore}at stake in any political campaign)%than in the one that is to be decided!% ‘have guided ‘'policies both at home’and in our res ‘lations with other narzons. -.»-that-without the horrors of war he ‘country and Organized Labor's Bffort half-ofthe‘Preaidentsi+ Organized labor's first:lap-;pe ae its membership ee of f8wastdent’Wilson’s re-electionmadepublicSaturdayattheAmeri-can Federation of ‘“abor headquar-ters in Washington.It is in the formofacircularlettertoallofficersoforganizedlabor,calling on them toholdspecialmeetingsif-necessary toconsider-the issues of the campaign, against ‘Wall Street.”signed by Samuel Gompers,_presi-dent;James O’Connell,vice —presi- dent,and Frank Morrison,secretary,asthe Federation’s WLahor,represen-tation committee,and has been senttotheheadsofallaffiliatedorgani-It says in part:f in the election of November 7.Dur-ing the present administration and‘particularly in this campaign there has developed a clear-cut issue be- tween\the workers—the producers—and those who manipulate the pro-ducts of the labor of others—the ex- ploiters..The issue is represented in the campaign -by the conflicting in- terests represented by labér and Wall Street.“During the present administra-tion the organized labor movement has been able to secure recognition for the rights of human beings and opportunity for all to participate in the affairs of the nation in a degree that has never before been accom- plished.| “This recognition has taken the form of legislation necessary to pro- tect the interests of wage-earners and in the ideals of humanity.-thatanddirectednational “Though half of the world has been involved in a terrible conflict, and it seemed at,times as though our nation must be drawn into the vortex of human.slaughter,yet tHe ChiefExecutiveofourlandhasbeenable to manage the affairs of the ation; and the:interests-ef—our Citizens so has established and maintained pro-" tection of human life and human rights in the somewhat vague do- main._of_international law.** “What has been true in the case of the European war is also true in the case with the relations between ourMexice,The interests| that have been seeking to plunge our country into war not only with Euro-| pean countries but also with.Mexico are the interests that are represent- ed by the most selfish and most con- scienceless element of Wall Street. “During the past four years there has been enacted by Congress and) signed by President Wilson humani-| tarian protective legislation unprece-; dented in amount and scope.”i After mentioning ‘the 8-hour act, the seamen’s law and the child labor law.the letter adds:“On November 7,election day, decision will be made which will de- termine the future development of our country and the spirit of our na-|% tional life for years to,come.iB “As representatives of the organ-|which is the!%of|stands |} .i ,3 primarily for human rights,we urge! been provided for the upkeep of the)benefits by decreasing our State rev-'that the issues be considered at a|® ized labor movement,‘ich | militant protective organization all the workers and which regular or special meeting held by your organizations.” Colonel Lambasts President. The spectre of foreign domination and interference in Mexico—if the United States does not act firmly there—_was presented by Colonel Roosevelt,speaking at Arizona. Raking President Wilson fore and| aft for his Mexican policy,the colo- nel warned that “if we fail,then some foreign power will in the end itself do the task,and make Mexico its servant to our own_irreparable damage.”The colonel was fiery —sulphur- ous—in his attack on the President. He hammered at the President more vigorously than at any time since he entered the lists.He charged Wilson with fear.He declared Wilson had tamely submitted to “infamy”while England and Germany had been fa- vored and respected because of their strength.He charged Wilson with “kissing the hands of Carranza, stained with blood.”He declared the President had failed to properly dis- charge his responsibility in the Mex- ican matter.

With more gold in its vaults,moremoneycirculated,and the greatestexporttradeinhistory,the UnitedStatesisatoncereapingagolden harvest and--to mix the metaphor— paying the piper;the piper being theighcostofliving.Director of Mint von Engleken analyzed the present soaring of prices in that way,holding that the very prosperity of thenation is responsible for big prices. His explanation is:Export trade brings an unprecedented quantity of gold here.There is such a vast de- mand for goods that prices _ris@¢re-sponsively.More workers than here- tofore are employed and they are get- ting larger wages.And while these workers supply the goods,their wag- es,drawn from the immense store of gold,buy more goods than bofore, thus helping swell the abnormal de- mand and the consequent price in-creases,Wages,+he admits,hhve.not fully kept pace with prices—-as usual —but.he hopes for an_altered condi- tion in the future. |“The high cost of living,”he —said, luis a creature of our creation.The United States is -normally a borrow- ling nation.Capital utilized for con- |struction in the past has been recruit- ‘ed largely abroad.Our economic af- \fairs consequently have been adjust- jed to meet the customary outflow of|‘ ;money required to pay our interest hills in foreign countries. ,“The sudden reversal of this condi- ition,the retention of.interest pay- ‘ments at home,coupled with a rever- ;~next series opens SATURDAY, . i ‘ * i.make. iarr DANGER AHEAD! _ A.good engineer always keeps his eyes on the track ahead,for he knows the danger:from possible obstructions’that may ditch his train with disastrous results for him and his passengers.

BUILDINGS DEDICATED.|TWO MEN ESCAPE DEATH, Members of the ‘Presbyterian Synod Dedicate Bulldings at Crphans’Home, About half of the Presbyterian Synod of North Carolina,which has been holding its annual meeting in Salisbury,came over to the Orphans’ Home at Barium Wednesday after- noon and:formally dedicated threebuildings—Little Jo,.’s'chapel,the| MeNair ‘school building and the | Sprunt.Infirmary —the agerggate | cost of which is about $40,000.°The chapel had been completed for sever-al years but had not been formallydedicated.The other buildings have been completed recently.About half the cost of the McNair school build-ing,which has eight class rooms and an auditorium,is a gift of Mr.John F.McNair of Rockingham.The Sprunt Infirmary,which cost about $15,000,is the gift of Messrs.Wil- liam and James Sprunt of Wilming-ton. The dedication exercises were held in the auditorium of the McNair building and were presided over by Rev,Dr.J.N.H.Summerell,moder- Rev.W.T.Walker,superintendent of the or- phanage,stated that at the meeting of Synod in Charlotte in 1911 it was decided to raise money for addition-al buildings and equipment for the orphanage.\Rev.R.Murphy Wil- liams of Greénsboro went to work on the proposition and raised $60,000; for this purpose.The-children-and-xeachers of theorphanageattendedinabodyand opened the exercises by singifig the Lord’s Prayer.This was followed By “The Shepherd Song,”sung by 19 girls.The prayer dedicating the! chapel was led by Rev.Dr.A.D.Mc- Clure of Wilmington;the McNair ; building by Rev.Dr.H.G.Hill;the Sprunt Infirmary by Rev.R.Murphy Williams of Greensboro. The address of the occasion was by Dr.:Hill.He spoke of the necessity, blessings and benefits of orphanage work.He said a Christian orphan- age is intended to do for children what wise and judicious parents would do—to educate and train the child for life’s work.It must be trained physically,intellectually and morally and for work according to is aptitude.The habits trained to children in the home cleave to them all through life.It is necessary to have orphanages because there will always be orphans.He said he thinks God makes orphans for the good of children and parents.God has im-|posed upon us the obligation of tak-|ing care of orphans.The blessingsof : orphanage work come to the children| in that.it brings to them a better mind,a better body and a more en- lightened conscience.It brings totheteacherstheblessingofanap-!proving conscience.When the chil- dren finish at the orphanage they go out into the world biessed with a bet- ter equipment and area blessing to the Church of God and in religious labor.They make good citizens and the State is blessed.It would cost the State less to appropriate to the maintenance of orphanages than totakecareof.the children as crimi- nals or paupers. After the benediction by Rev.Dr. Craig,the visitors from Synod were shown over the grounds and_build- ings and were given’supper before their return to Salisbury. THE AUTO TURNED OVER.

The Justice said while there wasevidenceuponwhichthejuryandthe’average rcader would conclide they were guilty,the men have once gone practically through the agony of death,as the Governor's tempo- rary reprieve was delivered when all hope had fled,and they were within the shadow of the electric chair.“As a matter of humanity,”wrote the Associate Justice,“I do not think they ought to be compelled to gc through the agony and bloody sweat of another such experience.” Ed.Williams,serving life impris- onment for the murcer of the wife and child of Phillips,has written the Governor from the State convict farm saying he fired the shot that killed Phillips.The Governor is satisfied the three men were in collusion,as desperate blockaders,to commit any crimes necessary to carry on theiroutlawry. R.L.Phillips,lawyer and kinsmanofthemurderedman,who wrote thewillofPhillipsafterhewasmortally wounded,asked for the commutationonthegroundthatheissatisfiedthedeceasedwasmistaken‘in his-dy-ing statement that Wiggins and Millerwerehisassassins. Gov.Craig;had previously refused to grant a commutation,xpressingtheopinionthatthemenwereguilty,They were in the shadow of deathwhenhegranted2reprievetoallow their cases to be taken to the Su-preme Court. m County |THE RACE ST.DEDICATION Service Sunday Morning—Mis- sionary Meeting ChurchNews.

Disturbing Conditions in Northern Mexico May Change Mexican Situation. Persistent reports of the fall of Chihuahua City,Mexico,to the Villa forces,which have been current inSanAntonio,Texas,have not been confirmed.Major General Funston, questioned regarding the reports, said that so far as he knew they were not true. General Gonzales at.Juarez,Mexi- co,announced the réceipt of a mes- sage from General Trevino at Chi-huahua City stating that all was uiet there and authorizing him to deny “in virorous terms”the’report that the city had fallen before an attack by Villa.Simtlar reports have been received in Washington. A Bieouten from Chihuahua City says that skirmishing between Gen- eral Carlos Ozuna’s advanced forcesand:those of Francisco Villa contin- ue,although the general engagement is being delayed by General Trevino until all of .his troops have been placed in strategic positions in west- ern Chihuahua. The excitement caused by the ap- proach of the Villa forces was quiet- ed and the concentration of 8,000 troops at Chihuahua restored the feeling of security among the inhabi- tants. A Washington dispatch says that conditions in northern Mexico,re- sulting from the re-appearance of Villa_as a—military_factor,_is—com- manding more.attention than at any other time since the Columbus raid. Administration officials “are of theopinionthattheAmerican-Mexican commission at Atlantic City cannot be expected to arrive at a satisfacto- ry solution of border problems until the situation in Chihuahua-State is clarified.Furthermore;there appears mall probability that the regular or National Guard forces now on the border soon will be reduced. Coupled with reports.which dis-parage the stability of General Car- rana’s regime and interpret his moval from Mexico City to Quereta- ro as‘a sign of the breaking up prog- ress which his enemies have repeat- edly predicted,the military move- ments of Villa,now makine a for- midable campaign in Chihuahua,are regarded as menacing the de facto’s control of the whole northern coun- try.

Mr.Doughton Exposes Repub- lican Slanders —Desperate “Efforts ‘of Republicans to Misrepresent the Congress- man, To the Editor of The Landmark: An article in the Chronicle,pub- lished at Concord,N.C.,under date of October 12,1916,signed by W.S. Church and others,relating to the discontinuance of a rural mail route from Summit,N.C,,has been called to my attention.The statement that I had said route discontinued to get rid of a Republican carrier,or from any other motive,is as-wilful a mis- representation as ever appeared—in print.By quoting certain portions of a letter I had written more thantwoyearsago,an effort is made to. convince the public that I have pros- tituted my office and without regardtojusticeorthefacts‘in the case had this route discontinued.It will cer- tainly appear that if this action was taken at my instance and_for the cause assigned by my slanderers,I} was very slow in accomplishing my purpose.The letter they refer to bears date| of July 8,1914,and if these parties| had desired or intended to treat me fairly about the-matter they.would| have published the entire correspond-| ence instead of taking certain —por-| tions of it.Ina letter written to the| same parties,J stated emphatically|that I would not attempt to have| “This was the feeling that promnt- after listening to one of your first Speeches in this campaign,to declare myself in favor of the re- election of Mr.Wilson.But for the) fact that you are seeking an office. wouldn’t you cast your vote—as_I iritend to cast mine—for the man, who has done his level best and suc-| ceeded in many bife things,rather| than for the man who ignores the| bigger things and deals vaguely with| the little things?” Says the President.| That the opposition to his election is “scrupling at nothing,”.in state- ment of.fact and policy,was the, charge made by President Wilson in |a speech at Shadow Lawn Saturday| for a joint celebration of “New York | Day”and “Woodrow Wilson Day.”| :¢What are we to say,”he asked,) “of the patriotism_of men who take| advantage .of a crisis of the world,| nm the fortunes of men hang in! ukdertain balance,when the peace|of ‘this great nation can be maintain-| édonly by the most thoughtful and| considerate.means,to settle a ques-| tightof,power among themselves?”| "Renewing his discussion of the} foreign-policies of the United States| and speaking of the “vocal element”| of'the Republican party,the Presi-|dent ‘declared:z | '“They prefer a peace that 1s pro- duced by.the methods of those whodefy,of those who brag,of those, Ww threaten,in.order to establish | their prowess.,They have forgotten| their manners.They want a_peace| 4ndeed,but they do not want a peace|obtained as gentlemen obtain it,but| only as braggarts obtain it.”|In the course of his address,the| President reviewed in detail the recordoftheDemocraticpartytoward public questions,declared that most of,the issues of the campaign pro- posed at the outset by the Republi-cans have disappeared;upheld the 8-hour dav for “everybody for whomitispossible,”spoke of the “inter- epting gyrations”of the Republicans toward the oe ana replied to as- sertions of his dppenent as to whatwillhappenafterthewar. 2 :ATL TTT RETOTAlliesPreparingtoControl the Trade of.the World. *Domination-by the allied nations oftheworld’s raw materials which are essential to American manufacturers cials in Washington,says a news dis- prehensive summary of British trade policies as to imports into “this céun- tty.As a result the .recent Paris Economic Conference of the Entente powers is regarded with far greaterdisquietthanbefore.| The proposed commercial war-af- ter-the-war,at first viewed skeptical- ly.is looked upon as a more practi- cal proposition in the light of inves- tigation.Consequently an_earneststudyofthefactsavailableisbeingmadeandeveryeffortextendedto supplement the information now at hand.The blacklist has been ac- cepted .in principle by all the allies, while the agreement made at the conference for the closer economic unity between the governments_is {runs anything done that would damage| the service,but that I was anxious to see a change of carriers.My reasor for this statement was that many protests were coming from patrons| of the office,stating that the appoint- ment of the carrier was not satisfac-| tory and that he had received the ap-| pointment because he was a relative af the husband of the postmaster (Mrs.W.S.Church being postmas- ter and her husband,W.S.Church, being her assistant).The truth is, (and Church knew it when he got up! his article),that the route was dis- continued by reason of a revort of| the postoffice inspector,who himself| is under the civil service and @ man of the highest character—Mr.B.B. Webb.He not only made one recom- mendation of this kind in this in- stance but investigatgd the matter the second time,and stated as some of the.reasons:for fne_discontinu- ance of the route,that the office did| not have sufficient patronaze to jus-| tify the continuance of the —route:| that the roads over which it ran were unreasonably bad and that’no effort was made to put them in re- pair.He also found other conditions not very creditable to those in,charie of the mail service,ete. This route started in the seventh | congressional district but served a considerable territorv in Ashe coun- ty.which is in the eighth district | Since the route was established a| new railroad has heen built from) Abingdon,Va.,to Todd.N.C..which | through the section of Ashe county formerly supplied by this ru- ral route.When:railway mail serv- ice was established the people nat- urally preferred to get their mail that way instead of from Summit,| which is 20 to 25 miles away from the railroad,and it was necessary| for the mails to be carried across the Blue Ridge mountains,causing a de- lav of at least one day.\ Mr.Church,the ass-stant postmas-| ter at Summit.of course was infuri- ated because the,discontinuance —of the rural route curtailed the receints, of his office.But it would seem that my enemies are in a rather desner-} ate position when they can find no} instance in my districs upon which to base charges agains:me,but mustrotoanotherdistricttoprocure: false charges from a man who is dis-| gruntled because he cannot use the | mail service for his own necuniee | benefit,without regard to the rights, or the convenience of the vublic.The| rural carriers in mv district.regard-|less of their volitical affiliations,| know full well that IT have:never at-) temvted to have one of thém remov-| ed for political reasons and,that,in-| stead of doing anvtning to damagethemailservice,I have alwavs done| everything in my power to strength-| en and imnrove it.| I will add further \that Congress- man R.N.Page.who represents the| seventh district so ably and who is always on the Jookout for the inter-| ests of his constituents,would cer- tainly not have allowea a route orig- inating in his district to be discon-| tinued unless there was sufficient; reason and ample justification for its being done,even though I had re- quested it,which T did not do.The only thing I ever did about the mat- ter in anv way was to reauest that an inspector be sent into the section working—out..through--mutual..conces-1of..Ashe countythatisin_my district.|sions,excluding other countries fromtheirbenefits,though not necessarily viewed as illegal discriminatory by the United States so long as confined to war purposes.
