Freight embargoes are being putonfoodproductsandthepriceoffoodisadvancinginthecities, Hg All the influence of the administra->a tion has been brought fo bear,in an ¥e effort to persuade the railroad broth- erhood leaders to cancel or postpone :the order calling a nation-wide strike ti poo Monday,while leaders in Congress are‘paving the way for legislation design- ed to prevent or stop the threatenedindustrialcatastrophe.Little tangi- sible rogress has been made. o the spokesmen of President Wil- »wat all the brotherhood officials gave Pe the same reply—that they had nopowertprecallthestrikeorderandthatonlyonething—‘satisfactorysettlement”—could keep their men atworkafter7a.m.Labor Day.Apparently the legislation which is being counted upon to stay the broth- erhoods is that part of the Presi- dent’s programme which would fix an8-hour day for railroad employes en- gaged in operating trains in:inter- State commerce and provide for aninvestigationofitseffectsbyacom- mission or board.This embodies the Be principal features of the President’s original plan,‘a¢ccpted by the train- q men and-W.G,Lee,head-oef the train-:men,said that its enactment with a i guarantee of the present rate of dailypaywouldberegardedbythebroth-erhood leaders as a “satisfactory set-tlement.”Immediately upon its be- coming a law,he said,the brother- hood leaders would send out the code message notifying general chairmenthatthestrikeordershouldnotgointoeffect. Even some of the congressional leaders who oppose other festures*oftheprogrammesaysuchalawcould be passed.The Senate virtually sidetrackedtheemergencyrevenuebillforanall- day debate on the crisis,while the in- ter-State commerce committce arrang- :ed for héarings beginning at 9 a.m. 4 ;yesterday,when representatives of‘..both sides will be heard. One dominant thougnt in the minds of members of Congress genezally re- sulted in the introduction late in the day of a resolution ny Senator Blair of Maryland,calling upon officials ofthe‘brotherhoods to postpone execu- ‘tion of the strike order for one week ,to give Congress sufficient time for intelligent consideration.of legisla- tion suggestedin President Wilson’s message.The resolu‘ion was referred to the inter-State commerce commit- tee without discussion.Majority Leader Claude Kitchin and Representative Adamson of the com- mittee on inter-State and foreign com- merce,have drafted a compromise bill to meet the railroaa strike crisis’ When Congress gets down to simple brass tacks it is believed the House will pass this bill.The Kitchin-Ad-amson measure provides for an 8-hourdayandtheappointmentof2commis- sion of three to investigate its opera-tion and to report their findings to Congress.There is also a tentative provision that the tr<mmen shall bé paid time and half time for over- -time,although should opposition to making this a law at this time de- velop the House leaders are inclinedtobelievethebrotherhoods‘will’ac- cept_a straight _8-hour_proposition. Senator Simmons got into a debateintheSenateonthestrike-situation when he declared it his opinion that Congress has power to legislate }:ro- viding for a,board to make a public investigation of the strike controver- sy,to render a decision determining the merits of the controversy and it was within the power of Congress te provide that any lock-out on the’part of the employes or any strike by the employes to be unlawful.In pursuance of that declaration the Senior NorthCarolina‘Senator thouwrht a court could Suspend a strike order or a lock-out pending that investigation. Senator Simmons.said-if.Congress went that far it should'ro a step fur.“ther and confer upon the courts the most drastic power to prevent men who have gone on a strike from actinginanywaytopreventmenfromtak ing their places.

President Wilson laid the railway strike situation before CongressTuesdayafternoon,in an address to both houses.assembled in joint ses-sion,The President said: “Gentlemen of the Congress: “T have come to you to ask your as- sistance in dealing with a very gravesituationwhichhasrisen.out of thedemandoftheemployesoftherail- roads engaged in freight train serv-ice that they b&granted an 8-hour working day,safeguarded by pay- ment for an hour and a half of serv-ice for every hour of work beyond theeight.; _“The matter has been agitated for more than a year.The public.hasbeenmadefamiliarwiththedemands of the men and the arguments urged ir favor of them,and even more fa-miliar with the objections of the rail-roads.and their counter demand that certain privileges now enjoyed by their men and certain bases of pay- ment worked out through many years of contest be reconsidered,especially in their relation to the adoption of an 8-hour day.The matter came some three weeks ago to a final issue and resulted in a complete deadlock be- tween the parties.The means pro-vided by law for the,mediation of thecontroversyfailedandthemeansof arbitration for which the law pro- vides were rejected. “The representatives of the rail- way executives propused that the de- mands of the men be submitted in their entirety:to arbitration,along with certain questions of readjust- ment as to pay and conditions of em-ployment which seemed to them to he either closely associated with the demands or to call for reconsideration on their own merits;the men abso- Iutely declined arbitration,especial- ly if any of their established privi- leges were by that means to be drawnepgaininquestion,The_law in the matter put no compulsion upon them. The 400,000 men from whom the de- mands proceeded had voted to strike if their demands were refused;the strike was imminent;it has since been set for the 4th of September next.It affects the men who manthefreighttrainsonpracticallyev- ery railway in the country. “The freight service throughout the United States must stand still until their places are filled,if,indeed,it should prove possible to fill them at all.Cities will be cut off from their food supplies..the whole commerce of the nation will be paralyzed,men of every sort of occupation will be thrown out of employment,countless thousands will in all likelihood be brought,it may be,to the very point of starvation,and a tragical nation- al-calamity broucht~on,to be added to the other distresses of the time, because no basis of accommodation or settlement has been found. “Just as soon as it became evident that mediation under the existing law hed failed and that arbitration had been rendered impossible by the at- titude of the men,I considered it my duty to confer with the representa- tives of both the railways and the brotherhodds,and myself offer media- tion,not as an arbitrator,.but mere- ly as spokesman of the nation,in the interest-of justice,indeed,and as a friend of both parties,but not a judge,only as the representative of one hundred millions of men,women «nd children who would pay the price, the incalculable-price,of Joss and-suf- fering should these few men insist upon approaching and concluding the matters in tontroversy between them merely as employers:and employes, rather than as patriotic citizens of the United States looking before and sfter and accepting the larger respon- sibility which the public would putuponthem. “It_seemed to me.in considering the subject.matter of the’controversy, that the whole spirit of the time and the preponderent evidence of recent economic experience,spoke for the 8- hour day.It has been adjudged by the thought and experience of recent vears a thing upon which society is justified in insisting as ‘in the inter- est of health,efficiency,contentment and a general increase of economic vigor.The whole presumption of modern experience would,-jt seemed to me,be ih its favor,whether there was arbitration or not,and the debat- able points to settle were those which Prose out of the acceptance of the 8- hour day rather than those which af- fected its establishment. “J.therefore proposed that the 8- hour day be adopted by the railway jtanagementsand put into practice for the present as a substitute for the existing 10-hour basis of pay and ser- vice;that I should appoint,with the permy ssion™of~the=~Conyress;“a~smah+ commission,to observe the results ofthechange,carefuly studying the fig- ures of the altered operating costs, not only,but also because the condi- tions of labor under which the menworkedandtheoperationoftheiraxistingagreements,with the rail- roads,with instructions to report the facts as they found them to the Con-gress at the earliest possible day,but without recommendation;and that, after the facts had heen thus dis- closed,an adjustment should in’someorderlymannerbesoughtof.all the matters now left unadjusted betweentherailroadmanagersandthemen. “These proposals were exactly-in ,(Continued on Second Page.) &’ snob THE RAILROAD SIDE OF IT. Why the Railroad Presidents Refused Mr.Wilson’s Plan— What They Propose. The railroad presidents have is- sued the following statement of theirreasonsforrefusingtoaccept.thepropositionofPresidentWilsonand the railroad employes:“We are unable,after the most earnest consideration,to agree ‘with the proposal of the:President of the United ‘States,which is that we ac- cept without arbitration the substi-tution of the 8-hour day for the:pres-. ent 10-hour day in all of the existing} practices and agreements.This is the main point in controversy and we cannot surrender it without :an op-portunity to be heard in the form of fair arbitration, “We do not assent to the statement that ‘the 8-hour day now undoubtedly has the sanction of the judgment ofsocietyinitsfavor.’We believe thatSocietyhasnotyétrecordeditsjudg- ment upon the subject.. “We-are not in this controversy, however,dealing with the conditions relating to the 8-hour day in the in- dustrial world.The difference be- tween the 8-hour day in buisness and manufacturing.interests and in.the railroad train service day has’beenfullyexplained.The railroad day is‘ a basis of computing pay and over- time,the length of daily service:being controlled by variable ceénditions. “Phe demands involved in this eon- troversy have not been presented,in our judgment,for the purpose of fix- ing a definite daily period of labor, for a reduction in the existing hours of labor or change in methods-Of op-} eration,but for the real purpose of accomplishing an increase in wages of approximately $100,000,000 per annum or 35 per cent.for the men in railroad freight ‘train and .yard service represented by the labor or- ganizations in this matter. “After careful examination of the facts and patient and continuous :con- sultation with the conference commit- tee of managers and among our- selves,we have reached.a clear un-derstanding of the magnitude of the questions and of the serious conse- quences to the railroads and_publi¢e involved in a decision of them. “As trustees for the public served bv our lines and for the,great mass of the less powerful employes «(not less than 80 per cent.of the whole number)interested in the’railroad wage fund,as trustees also for the millions of people that have invested their savings and capital.in the bonds and stock of these properties and who,through the savings ,banks, trust companies and insurance com- panies are vitally interested to the extent of millions of dollars in the integritv and solvency of the rail- roads of the country,we cannot in conscience surrender without a hear- ing the principle involved,nor under-take to_trasfer_the enormous cost that will result to the transportation of the conxmerce of the country.The 8-hour day without punitive over- time involves an annual increase an- proximating ‘in the aggregate ,$60,- 000,000 and an increase of more than 20 per cent.in the pay of men al- ready the most highly paid in the transportation service.The ultimate cost to the railroads of an admission in this manner of the principle under contention cannot now be estimated;the effect upon the efficiency of the transportation of the country now al- ready under severe test under the tide of business now moving,and at 2 time when more instead of less ef- fort is required for the public wel- fare,would be harmful beyond calcu- lation. “For these reasons ere are with deen regret unable to accent the suc restion made by the President of theUnitedStates.| “We propose.however.as of settlement,the following: “(a)The railroads will.effective September 1,1916,keep the time of all men represented in this movement. upon an 8-hour hasis and by separ- ate account,monthly,with each man, maintain a record of difference he- tweén the money actually earned by him:.on the present basis and the amount that

PREPARE FOR TITHE WORST. Railroads Put Embargoes on Freight and Warn Passengers. Throughout the entire country Wednesday railroads great and small gathered their forces to oppose the strike set for next Monday. The ‘undercurrent of feeling re-ported at Washington that the catas- trophe would yet be averted was not reflected among railroad men.<A summary of the situation made by E.P.Ripley,president of the Atchi-son,Topeka &Santa Fe,who was a member of the committee which con- ferred with \President Wilson as spokesman for railroad presidents, intensified the pessimism felt in Chi-cago.Mr.Ripley asserted that the railroads can now see no hope of a settlement.before Labor Day and are making every preparation for even-tualitjes. Practically every important rail- road in the country gave notice of embargoes,or was preparing to give them.”They affect perishable freight and live stock,which at present con- stitute about one-third the freight traffic on most Western roads.Agents everywhere were instructed to warn passengers of probable delays and not to accept any perishable .freigh; which could not normally be deliver-ed before September 4.In some cas- es the date was set Saturday,the 2d, or Sunday. Most of the Southern roads issued embargoes directing that no ship- ments which would deteriorate if de- layed en route should be accepted for destinations that would not be reach- ed before Sunday.In some cases the Lban was extended to include explos- ives,and some roads:made the em- bargo immediately effective. Despite’these steps,road officials generally continue to insist that a strike would not seriously cripple traffic over the-South,One or two companies announced that unusual inducements would he held out to em- ployes remaining loyal _and there were many Claims that if the strike really occurred the brotherhoods would find their ranks badly depleted. At Norfolk &Western headquartersitwasdeclaredthatfully40,per cent.of the system’s men would stay at their posts. Railroad officials,realizing fully that enormous loss would follow a prolonged |suspension of traffic inperishablefruitsfromthegreat Southern belts,are prepared,it is Said,to play important cards as_the styite hour approaches.in’their effort to prevent a tie-up.The Nashville, Chattanooga and St.Louis issued a notice that employes who strike will lose their passes and their eligibility as pensioners of the road,while those remaining loyal will be placed at the head of the service rosters.There was a report that on one division of the Southern railway 500 new men already had been employed and were in training to take the paces of strik- ers. Although the greatest immediate effect of a tie-up throughout the South would be felt by fruit shippers, many cities are canvassing the pos- sibilities of food shortage should shipments be suspended for any con- siderable time. Southern’s’Fretght Embareo,. An absolute embargo by the South- ern on all freight goes into effect to- night at midnight.This order was issued to all agents.yardmasters and chief—dispatchers Wedensday night. It was furthermore ordered that af- ter midnight Wednesday—the comna- ny “cannot accept shipments of live stoek or perishabtes,except as it may be able to do under special agreement in each individual case.It will until midnight,September 1,accept freight other than perishable-and live stock subject to delay and bills of lading must-be so indorsed.” Much Excitement in New York. Representatives of New York city and its various industries are mak- ing feverish efforts to prevent a com- plete paralysis of traffic in the event of the threatened nation-wide railroad strike.Millions of persons,it is estimated,may be thrown out of work almost immediately if the, strike becomes a reality. With the tying up of the railroads’steamship service out of New York and.other American ports,particu- larly freight traffic virtually would he at a standstill,it is admitted by representatives of steamship lines. It is regarded as doubtful whether European freight traffic would be able to continue any length of time.

Looking Into the Future. Ata retailer’s convention the other day it was predicted that owing to the in- creased scarcity.of leather the United States is to become the next ‘*WoodenShoeNation.” We can’t just picture our American girls in the wooden shoes of Holland, nor even as a New York paper says in ‘Mahogany Shoes made from old pianos”,yet leather is still increasing in price and there is every evidence that it will continue to do so.We dre exporting more leather than ever be-_fore while the supply of hides is con- siderably reduced.There is little pros- pect ot relief in the leather market. What is really going to happen is that the public will meet the necessary ad- vance caused by higher prices.Theyaregoingtopaymorefortheirshoes and they are going to think more about them. Season by season for the last five years women’s shoes have taken a more im- portant place in the world.As the consumer pays more for shoes she be- comes more exacting.The class of buyers that used to ask merely that a shoe be neat,strong and durable now want beauty,grace and style.We must meet this demand at any cost. Wooden Shoes?Oh,no. Finer,costlier,better designed,more elegant shoes—-that is what fhe publicwantsandwhatwemustgivethem. Our new fall styles,not Wooden Shoes, but some of the newest creations in women’s foot:wear,are here and we: would take pleasure in showing them to you. Ramsey-Bowles-Mortison Company.

THREATENEDSTRIKE OFF. Congress Passed Eight -Hour ‘Law,For Railroad Employes and the Railroad Trouble is ‘Ended For the Present. The general strike of railroad em- ployes,which was to have been effec-tive at 7 o’clock,yesterday morning, ,.was called off Saturday night when the sto plague it in the future. Senate passed the.8-hour.law,:which passed the House Friday.The,legislative expedient to avertthestrikewaspassed'in the Senate by a vote of 43 to 28—almost a strict par?ty vote—amid stirring ‘scenes after many Senators—/Democrats.and Re- publicans—had fought desperately to amend the measure.by provisions de- signed’to prevent industrial disastersinthefuture.Some Senators declared Congress was being coerced into en- actment of legislation that it did notdesire,and that it knew would return In bothhousesthemeasurewassignedbythe presifing officers within a few minutesafterthefinalvoteintheSenateand it.was sent at once to the White House: Officials of the brotherhoods who witnessed the final passage of the billhadannouncedthatcancellationofthe strike would not be ordered until thebillhadbeensignedbythePresident and actually had become law.But later they changed their minds and flashed the code messages signalling to the waiting trainmen of the country through their chairmen the message that.a satisfactory settlement had beensecured. The bill was signed by the President at the union railroad station in Wash- ington Sunday morning,in his private car,where he stopped,on his way from Shadow Lawn,'N.J.,to Hodgenville, Ky.,where he spoke yesterdsy at a ‘Lincoln.memorial ceremony.Thattheremaybenoquestionastothe legality of the measure as a result of it having been signed on Sunday the President will affix his signature againuponhisreturntoWashington. Efforts to amend the House bill in the Senate were futile,the supreme effort to alter it having been led by Senator Underwood,who sought to provide that the Inter-State Commerce Commission should have power to fix railroad wages and hours of service in the future.This amendment was de-feated by a vote of 57 to 14. Only two Democrats —Senators Hardwick of Georgia and Clarke of Arkansas—vated against the bill,and only one Republican—LaFollette of Wisconsin—voted for it.The measure embraces virtually all of the President’s original proposals to the employes and the railroad heads, although it is only a part of the legis- lative programme he tok to Congresslast.Tuesday when his negotiations had failed . The Adamson 8-hour law for rail- road employes passed the House of Congress Friday evening,239 to 56, with five members not voting.Two Democrats—Black of Texas and Steele of Pennsylvania—and 54 Re- publicans voted against the bill,while 70°Republicans voted for it.The tone Socialigt®member voted for the bill.

With the members of.the notifica- tion committee,headed by Senator James,grouped about him at Shadow Lawn.the summer White House.the President declared the Republican party was “just the party that can- not meet the new conditions of a new age,”and that the day of Little Americanism,when “methods —of ‘protection’and industrial nursing were the chief study of our provin- cial statesmen,”was past and gone. “We can no longer indulge’our traditional provincialism,”said the President.“We are to play a lead- ing part in the world drama,wheth- er we wish it or not.We shall lend, not borrow;act for ourselves,not imitate or follow;organize and ini- tiate,;not peep about merely:to see where we may get it.” Speaking ef his diplomatic nego- tiations with the European belliger- ents,the President followed ‘a declar- ation that while property rights might be vindicated by claims for damages,the loss of life and the fundamental —rights.of |humanity never could be,with this statement: “The record is clear and consistentthroughoutandstandsdistinctand).”Sa ae Pa definite for any one to judge who 10D al yi ae k and one eRe wishes to know the truth about it.”ments:e doctor's epee eenImmediatelyafterwardhesaid;“1'MOVIN and apparently so disinter- am.the candidate of a party,but 1,csted,that the board voted the $50 ee SOCOM IMC n TemnI Sonera IeAUT erie without a word and would probably can citizen.T neither seck the favor ,Pave made the amount $100 if it hadnorfearthedispleasureofthatsmall!he asked._A tee hoe ores peealienelementamongstuswhich"puts |{pe eee ‘int oe Ar eeloyaltytoanyforeignpowerbeforethedoctor,with a sigh of re hag ee Oe ae in Meee Gali the|Vanced $50 to.the League for its workDeanneDearated‘that the peopia |an he shad been very much afraid he of Mexico were struggling,“blindly |Wouldn't get the money back.AfterteAnasbeand?deb eae tuate!il reflection some of the aldermen en-f ath iis ae sae lien ircweece tertained the suspicion that the doc-Tree themselves from alien interests!tor’s zeal for.the Civic League maysomeofthemAmericanspressin&:have been because he had an “intrus”for things they could never have got).::;:.0 jin the case.in their own country,”and that he would do everything in his power to'~1 >ypreventanyonestandingineinOLLEGEOPENTOMORROW way.“It is a hard doctrine,”said he, “only for those who wish to get something for themselves out of Mexico.” Extension.

Why Sheep Have Wool. Chicago News. If you want to ask a sheep where he got his wool and why,take a dog into a mountain pasture band,and if the sheep are afraid of the dog they will invariably run uphill rather than down.You have your answer. The ancestors of the domestic sheep, like wild sheep of the present day, lived among high mountains and needed their woolly .covering to pro- tect them against..the..constant..cold of high-atmospheres.They chose the high and inhospit- live in because theyfoundthefierceflesh-eating animals of the plains too strong for them.A proof of these facts is that the wool | grows on a sheep the year round. The railroads will test the 8-hour law in the courts—which is the thing|to do if they are not satisfied.

A motion by Senator Penrose to send the bill back to the finance com- mittee with’instructions that it re- port a measure to raise revenues by a protective tariff and with special provisions for industrial defence,was rejected by a vote of 39 to 21.Sena- tor LaFollette was the only Republi- can to-vote no. To increase government revenues the bill provides for doubling the normal tax and increasing the sur- taxes on incomes;an inheritance tax;a net profit tax on manufacturers of munitions of war,a license tax on stock of corporations capitalized at more than $99,000;excise’tax on beer,wines and liquors and miscel- laneous stamp taxes.‘ The bill also creates a UnitedStatestariffcommissionofsixmem- bers,whose salaries shall be $7,500ayear;provides for increased tariff duties on dyestuffs to encourage their manufacture in this country and makes provision to safeguard dgainst dumping of foreign-made goods after the European war into Americanmarkets. Drastic amendments.to the striking at the allied blacklisting of American merchants,discrimination against American commerce,“inter- ference with American mails and embargoes on American trade,were incorporated in the bill to arm the President with retaliatory weapons. These amendments have created con- sternation among diplomatic repre- sentatives of the allied powers in Washington,who assert they would constitute a non-intereourse—act: Drastic Retaliation. Amendments designed to provide means of retailiation against Great Britain for embargoes on American goods,the trade blacklist and inter- ference with the mails,were agreed to without roll calls and were unop- posed in debate.These amendments all applying to conditions during ex- istence of a war in which the United States is not engaged,would author-ize the President to:Deny by proclamation the use of United States mails and express, telegraph,wireless and cable facili- __ties_to_citizens—of-any belligerent na- > ~Bon,to consist of tion which does not accord to Amer- ican vessels,citizens,companics or corporations full facilities of trade and commerce,“including unhamper- ed traffic in mails which the vessels or citizens,firms or corporations of that belligerent country enjoy in the United States or its possession<” Withhold clearance to foreign or domestic vessels from American ports which give “any undue or un- reasonable preference,or advantage in any respect whatsoever,to any particular person,company,corpora- tion or any particular description of traffic in the United States or its possessions,or to the citizens of the United States residing in neutral countries abroad.”or is subjecting any of-them to “any undue or un- reasonable prejudice,disadvantage, injury or discrimination in regard to accepting,receiving,transporting or delivering or refusing to accept or receive,transport or deliver any car- go,freight or passengers.

Owing to the prospects of early re- moval of the troops to the border, Dr.and Mrs.Campbell decided nottowaituntiltheycouldhaveawed- ding but to be quietly married atBeaufortlastnight.

Trains Nos.15 and 16,which pass Statesville at 7.24 a.m.and 16.50 p. m.,respectively,were restored to the Western road Tuesday.They have been off since July 15. Trains Nos.35 and 22 are yet off. It is expected they will be restored in a few days and this will complete the service on the Western—restore it to the status maintained before the July flood.

Against After-War Competition. A section of the bill is designed as a safeguard against the “dumping” of foreign goods into the United States at cheap prices after the war. It would make it unlawful to im- port goods at a price substantially less than the actual market value or wholesale price in the principal mar- kets of the country of their produc- tion.Violations would be punisha- ble by a fine not exceeding $5,000 or imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both.To this section is also add- ed a provision:giving the Presidentauthoritytoprohibitimportationsto this country from nations whi¢h pro- hibit importations from the United States. In sections amending existing tar- iff laws the bill provides for increas-ed tariff rates on dyestuffs to be ap- plied after the European war in order to encourage upbuilding of the indus- try in this country.Another amend- ment fixes the duty of print paper valued at above five cents per pound at 12 per cent.ad valorem.Senator Martine offered an.amendment, which was defeated.to place all printpaperonthefreelist.ao Elimination of all stamp taxes in the emergency revenue hill,serious- ly objected to by the House,was agreed unon by the conference com- mittee,House conferees yielding ‘in exchange for this coneession their de- mand for restriction of a,tax on re- finers of copper.To make up for loss of about $5,000,000 revenue in sacrificing the stamp taxes,the con- ferees are agreed to a suggestion of House members that the tax on thenetprofitonmanufacturersofmuni- tions of war be increased from 10 to 12 1:2 per cent.

How the Expenditure Caused Criticism —Flood —Relief Funds. The cash which The Landmark.had on hand for the flood sufferers—$204.- 50—has been turned over to the localfloodreliefcommitteefordistribu- tion,This cme ee makes careful investigation of all applications for aid and is endeavoring to place thefundswheretheyaremostneeded. Tt.had expended only $55 when the government relief work was begun and since,then no local funds havebeenpaidout.The local committee "believes that calls will be more ur- gent and help more necessary next winter than now.Mr.W.L.Gilbert, secretary of the Commercial club, who,is the agent of the governmentrelieffundaswellastheinvestiga-tor and dispenser for thé.local com- mittee,has paid out $142.50 in orders on government funds.In addition to the road work furnished by the gov- ernment,Mr.Gilbert»was authorized, in cases where food or medicine was needed for immediate relief,to give orders for such amounts as were nec- essary in his judgment to meet thesituation.The government allowed ng actual cash to be paid to individ- uals, The road work put on by the gov- ernment for the flood sufferers didn’t last long in Iredell,nor in any of the counties where the work was begun, for the reason that.most or all the counties tried to rush it a little too strong and the funds would soon have been exhausted.For instance,the short time the work was on in Ire-dell the payroll ran up to $3,996.56. In other counties it-was more or less, as the force was larger or smaller, and Lieut.Gotwalls of the War De- partment,who was looking after the expenditure in this section of the State,had it stopped vuntil he couldfindoutwherehe“was at.” The truth is,the road work,while an ideal method of helping flood suf- ferers,was a sort of grab game,as is,usual when government funds are to”be distributed.“Each county and locality felt that it was a duty to put as many men to work as possible to ret as much road work as possible:at the expense of the government. Therefore about all who wanted to come in as flood sufferers,whethertheywererealsufferersornot,were put-to work.In fact there was no time to investigate and determine ;who should and who should not work if the “relief”was to be immediate, which was the purpose.The Land- mark has heard many stories of more or less interest about the “sufferers.” One citizen affirms that in his neigh- borhood men and teams were so thick on a section of road—which section didn’t need much work by the way— that they trod on each other’s heels, and not a man in the bunch,he avers, “had had enough water on his place to float a duck;”and tnai one of thebest.fixed citizens in the nelghbor- hood had a team.on the road all ‘the time this work was in progress.This was not peculiar to any locality or any county.It is the usual result when public money is to be expended.Local_officials in this and other counties blame Lieut.Gotwalls for much of the mix-up.Thev say he at first gave a very liberal definition of “destitute”with reference to the em- ployment of destitute persons.on-roadwork;and suggested that as the mon-ev wasn’t apportioned:among coun-ties that the county that got busy first with the most men would get the is|most.Later,when the payrolls be-this fact that all revelation is set |(an to swell,the Catawba folks sayferthtoestablishitsconceptionin;the lieutenant narrowed the definitionhumanconsciousness:so.great is it}of destitute,saying it meant °thosethatthewholeprovisionofgracein|WhO were really desiitute-—had noth-salvation is to save us from sin.|ing.Under this definition few work-Yet many ignore and attempt to|¢rs would have been found in Iredell.belittle the idea of sin.They at-|In any event.the attempt of thetempttowaveitasideasofnovital|£overnment to help hesn’t left a veryconcerntomen.Paul does not at-|0d impression in Catawba and Ire-tempt to argue the case.He says (ell.at least.On the one hand is theineffeet,Look,just look about you!|Criticism that manv attached them-Look at Rome,look at Athens,look|S¢!ves to the payroll who had no sortoutonyourworld.The man of to-|of claim.if being in need of help wasdayneeddonomorethanthis:just the condition;and on the other handlethimlookwithopeneyesuponthe|is the complaint that the work wasworldabouthim.stopned so soon.No help can come to us in ignoring,All this is with reference to thethepresenceofsin,of its wide prev-|£overnment help and has nothing toalence,of its terrific foree and power)10 With funds subscribed by privateovermen.No,we must face square-|Patties to help Iredell folks or oth-ly the fact,face squarely the terrible |(TS.The Landmark is sure thatconsequencesofsin.Facing the ful]|these funds will be given only tofact,we shall welcome and value for|‘hose really in need,so far as closeits.true worth our salvation.We)!vestigation can determine. shall see wi W great a salvation DA yenallseewithhowgreatasalvatiorIntheChurches.we are saved. A protracted meeting begins THEY SING THE OLD SONGS And Hear Direct and*Con- science -Compelling Sermons at the Broad Street Meeting. There are_no_frills_about.the_revi-val at Broad Street church,Dr.Gil-| bert T.Rowe is preathing straight, direct,conscience-compelling ser- mons.He ‘holds his crowd.The peo- ple are listening and thinking.Con- gregations are large and increasing from service to service. The folks are beginning to,sing. At first the younger element was a little at sea as to the songs.Rev.J. O.Ervin,the director of the songservice,believes in the old-fashioned revival songs.He is using the swinging,rousing tunes of a genera- tion ago.The older folks are enthu- siastic,and since the crowd generally has caught the contagion and has be- come more or less used to these old choruses,the enthusiasm is becoming general,The demand has becomé so great for the eld songs,that the mu- sic committee has found it necessary to telegraph an order fora number of copies of a special book containing these choruses.Every morning at 10 the crowd gathers,and is free to go at any time if business makes leav- ing a necessity.The morning serv-ice is usually a little more than anhour,but it is announced at®each service that busy housekeepers or merchants may go at any time after the sermon.The evening song serv- ice begins on the dot at 7.45,and the sermon begins 8.10 to 8.15. Something Wrong With the World. Perhaps the sermon that has made the most profound impression of all those preached so far in the meeting was that on Wednesday night,fromthetext,“For all have sinned and come shoré of the glory of God.”— Rom.,3:23. The speaker asserted that jt is a fact,to which all earnestly “serious minds would assent,that there is something radically wrong with the world;something that is not a little or a negligible thing;not something that will come out in the wash;not a thing to be passed over lightly,but a serious thing and a radical wrong. Should one doubt the seriousness of it or the strength of it,let him at- tempt to set a nation right.Moses made that attempt,and the whole people,with practical unanimity,rose up to oppose him,to murmur and complain against him,and to forsake his disinterested leadership toward liberty and toward the possession of the land of promise;to go back to the bondage and the fleshpots of Egypt.If a nation be a too formid- able undertaking for him,let him undertake to set right a cqunty or a town—your town—and he will |sce something of the strength and some- thing of the tenacity with which the forces of wrong will oppose him.Or if he decide to withdraw all effort against the external wrongs,then let him set for himself the task of mak- ing right all the wrong tendencies in his own,life and in’his own _heart.

The Democratic Record. So things stood when the Demo- cratic party came into power.How do they stand now?Alike in the domestic field and in the wide field of the commerce of the world,Ameri- can business and jife and industry have been set free-to move as they never moved before. The tariff has been revised,not on! the principle of repelling foreign trade,but upon the principle of en- couraging it,upon something like a footing of equality with our own in respect of the terms of competition, and a tariff board has been created whose function it will be to keep the relations of American with foreign business and industry under constant observation,for the guidance alike of our business men and of our Con- gress.American’energies are now directed towards the markets of theworld. The laws against trusts have been clarified by definition,with a view to making it plain that they were not di- rected against big business but only against unfair business and the pre- tence of competition where there was none;anda trade commission has been created with powers of guid- ance and accommodation which have relieved business men of unfounded fears.and set them upon the road of hopeful and confident enterprise. By the Federal Reserve act the supply of currency at the disposal of active business has been rendered a fixed body of investment securities, but from the liquid assets of daily trade;and these assets are assessed and accepted,not by distant groups of bankers in control of unavailable reserves,but by bankers at the manypeentersoflocalexchange*who are in touch with local conditions*every-where.’t SOE /comprehend the ‘to be very plainly stated. \ular desperation and infinite resource-,fulness the reform of We have effected the emancipation a1 are defendants,the undersigned com-of the children of the country by-re-/|missioner will sell at pubdtic auction to the| leasing them from hurtful labor.We highest bidder for cash,at the court house!have instituted a syst f tion:}|door in Statesville,N.C.,on |BVCRIDSULUCCOR ARS SLC ROr na nwonel|MONDAY,SEPTEMBER 11,1916, aid in the building of high roads at 12 o'clock,m.,the following described lands such as the country has been feeling in New Hope township,Iredell county,to-wit :| after for a century.We have sought Bounded on the north ne ener noe terie Cc.

President Pope flatly denied recent press reports stating that the associa-tion fixed 12 cents per pound as the minimum price of cotton.“The asso- ciation took no action whatever on this matter,”said Mr.Pope.“ButseveraloftheStatepresidentsdid discuss this matter among ourselves , and it “was the concensus of opinion! that the minimum should be 20cents.”_Dr.Alexander of the North Caro- lina Union favors 15 cents as theminimumprice, Escape From Jackson Training School—Officers Resisted. ——Mr-isenhouroftheJackson Train-ing School,Concord,came to States- ville last .evening.in’search of ayouthnamedHair,son of Mr.Frank| Hair of Oak Forest community,who| had run away from the,Training’School.Accompanied by Deputy,Sheriff Gilbert ‘and Mr.“Red.”Gaith-|er,Mr.Isenhour went to the home ofyoungHair’s father.The boy wasathomeandwhenhesawMr.Isen-hour he fled to the attic.Mr.Isen-hour pulled him out and passed him'to Gaither...Bob Smith,who lives attheHairhome,pulled young HairawayfromGaitherandafterastrug-|gle for possession young Hair got outofthewindane:-e elder Hair was told thataeWs)ed “hg i,brought to towno’clock this morning there would’:be trouble,Young Hair was sent totheTrainingSchool,tor setting off abuilding. ,Mr.and Mrs.Herry McIver,died Sun- json was 82 years old and died Satur- |Miss Sophie Henninger. jerete arch,the gift of Mayor Cald- j the grounds ow and made a safe get-|MR.S peter peWillBeBuriedinStatesville Tomorrow—Other.Deaths.

The attendance on the formal opening of Caldwell park,Friday af- ternoon and evening,was very good. Threatening skies doubtless kept many away and a_shower of rain about 9 o’clock in the evening brought the affair to a hasty conclusion.Not- withstanding the weather troubles,the Civic League ladies,who made the park possible and under whose auspices the formal opening took place,were encouraged by the num- ber of visitors who went out to see the park and patronized the ladies.The sale of refreshments,—etc., amounted to about $50.Young girls served tea,sandwiches,cream and cake at tables placed near the pret- ty rustic pavilion.In a voting con- test for the most popular young la- dy the prize,a cake,was awarded Music wasfurnishedbyaVictrola. Through the efforts of the Civic League ladies this spot of woodland, owned by the town for years but un- improved,is being converted into a very attractive spot.The rustic pa- vilion has been completed,there are electric lights and on Friday evening Japanese lanterns added to the at- tractiveness of the grounds.A_con- Tomb of Dr.Mitchell Deseerat-ed By Visitors to Mt.Mitch- ell.a Rev,Dr.J.N.-H.Summerell of New Berne,who.‘recently visited’th grave of his grandfather,Dr.Elisha!

While Europe was at war our own continent,one of our own neighbors, was shaken by revolution.In_that matter,too,principle was plain and it was imperative that we should live up to it if we were to deserve the trust of any real partisan of the right as free men see it.We have professed to believe,and we do be- lieve,that the people of small and weak States have the right to expecttobedealtwithexactlyasthepeo- ple of big and powerful States would be.We have acted upon that princi- ple in dealing with the people of Mexico. Our recent pursuit of bandits intoMexicanterritorywasnoviolationofthatprinciple.We ventured to enter Mexican territory only because there were no military forces in Mex- ico that could protect our border from hostile attack and our own peo- ple from violence,and we have com- mitted there no single act of hostility or interference even with the sover- eign authority of the republic of Mexico herself.It was a plain case of the violation of our own sover-eignty which could not wait to be vindicated by damages and for which there was no other remedy.The au- thorities of Mexico were powerless to prevent it.

Old Fort Sentinel._=EQueer,isn’t it,how prone many of us are to connect with “Providence” when something unusual ‘happens: The other day we fell in with an el- derly Indian,too old to be a graduateofCarlisle,but he seemed to knowallrighthowtousehiswell-stocked head-piéce. “This flood come to show you peo- ple the land you took from Indians no belong to you.”Such was the sum-|ming up of his comments on the re- cent disaster in our western high- ‘lands.And he “summed up”to thisieffectquiteoften,interspersing most ‘of his sentences with this grim judg- ment. And why not the Red Man’s opinion? Most of.us are glib et attributing to Providence any unusual visitation, and we generally try to twist so-call- ed providential doings into a justifi- cation of our side. But the Indian gave the Pale Faces another jolt—a savagely-suggestive one.Said he:“You have societies— ‘Boys (Sons)of the Revolution,’‘Old- Time Women’(Colonial Dames,we suppose),why you not have one ‘Children of Daddies Who Took theLandfromtheIndians?’” We couldn’t answer him,and didn’t try;and we pass the query up tosomeofthosewhohaveanitchfor hereditary distinction.Verily,our copper-colored friend 1s an Indian ofanelderday;and while he is not onthe-war-path,hunting scalps,_he—dis+ kidneys and pain between my shoul-| der blades.I couldn’t rest at night’ and the kidney secretions were irreg-'% ular in passage.My health was all| run-down.Reading so much about,Doan’s Kidney Pills,I decided to try!& {injected the poison of disloyalty into|distressed and distracted people.All them and got a supply from Stimson § &Son’s Drug Store.After taking them a few days,my back felt bet- ter and one box cured me,My kid-| neys have been normal ever since.”| Price,50c.,at all dealers.Don’t sing and settlement to speak plainly!pig brother to the republics of this|simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that St4 NOTICE!

A meeting of the joint committee of commissioners of Catawba and Iredell counties,who have in chargethe_matter_of replacing bridges across the Catawba river,met here Wednesday.Mr.Osborne Brown of Catawba was,chairman of the meet-ing. It was ordered that Engineer Fal- lis make plans and specifications for a bridge at or near where the Trout- man.&Brown bridge formerly stood; that Troutman &Brown_be offered 2 1-2 cents a pound for the steel of their bridge,which was washed away,they to recover it and place it on the bank.Failing to reach an agreement with Troutman &Brown, it_is-ordered_that-a_temporary bridge be erected at once,near the bridge, which is known as the Mooresville bridge. It was decided to erect the States- ville-Buffalo Shoals bridge about 300 feet.below the former site and the State Highway Commission will be requested to prepare plans for same. Also that a temporary bridge be erected there,at once. .On completion of plans and speci- fications for a bridge at Island Ford,it is recommended that the abutmerit and piers be erected for it and that a temporary bridge be built at once if the board deems practicable .

The letter read in part: “As a Maine Republican from boy- hood it seems strange to me not to reply favorably to your letter of August 1,but there are two reasonswhyIamunabletodoso,“First—I am in the shipping busi- ness and the only help that the ship- ping industry has recéived since 1864hasbeeninthelasttwoyears.The Republican party has been the death knell of the shipping industry forAmericasince1864,and should it re-gain powerI am_afraid it wouldadoptthesamemethodswhichhave, as I say,for the last 60 years crush- ed this industry.“Second—I have three sons I amveryproudof,and I feel a debt of gratitude to Mr.Wilson that theyhavenotbeencompelledtoliveontheborderorinthetrenches,which might have happened had your partybeeninpower.The Republican par-ty desires to involve this country both on this continent and elsewhere —at least,the public utterances of your candidate and his supporters so imply.”: Roger W.Babson of Boston,a Re- publican and a_well-known.statisti-cian and financial authority,an- nounced yesterday at the Democratic national headquarters.that he would vote and work for the re-election of President Wilson.In a_statement announcing his purpose to support the Democratic President Mr.Bab-son said:. “I am for Woodrow Wilson,not be- cause he is a Democrat,for I am not a member of the Democratic party. I am for him not because of busi- ness reasons,for Mr.Hughes’poli- cies would temporarily bring me greater profits.I am for Mr.Wil- son because I believe he has tried to apply the Golden Rule to solving great national and __international problems.Any man,Republican ‘or Democrat,who will attempt this will have my hearty support.‘Moreover,I believe that if this moral issue in- volved in the election were clearly put forth by his campaign managershewouldbesureofre-election.In most things President Wilson has al- ready succeeded;in some things his work is still incomplete,but in all cases I believe he has stood for the kindly,the humane and the Chris- tian principles.Should he be de- feated it would:be a great blow to the cause of righteousness.” Contributing a “widow’s mite”intheshapeofadimetotheDemo- cratic national campaign committee, Mrs.Theresa Patrick,who lives at the City Home on Blackwell’s Isl- and,sent..a_letter to National Chair- man McCormick,in which she said she wanted to do all she could for the re-election of President Wilson. “T have three sons and two grand- sons who were born Republicans,and always so voted,but who promisestheLordthiselectioneachwillcasthis~first Democratic vote for Wood- row Wilson.God bless him.” In giving his reasons why he will vote for Wilson,Thos.A.Edison,the inventor,who has always been a Republican,said:°“This man Wilson has had amightyhardtime:of it,”he contin- ued.—“I-don’t believe there was ev- er a President who had as many big questions to decide,as many big problems to solve.One has followedtheother,and now _and__then_they have come in bunches.He hasn’t al- ways pleased me,just as I suppose he hasn’t always pleased other peo- ple;but when you look the recordover,it’s so good that criticism comes close to being nothing more than cheap fault-finding.“A fool or a coward would have had the United States in all sorts of trouble.As it is,we are at peace, the country was never more prosper- ous,and we have the strength that comes with honog ‘and integrity of purpose.”- “So you don’t agree with these people who insist thut the United States has earned the contempt of the world?”I asked. “Bosh!Neutrality is a mighty trying policy but back of it are inter- national law,the rights of humanity and the whole future of civilization.

Discouraged Iredell Farmers ~Would Move East. The following,from the Goldsboro correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer,is not the sort of news The Landmark likes to print. and it is hoped that it is not so bad as it appears: “Despairing of redeeming their devastated lands,many farmers of the flooded area of western Carolina are considering moving to the east and that before the next planting season opens several.will establish their homes in Wayne county,is the opin- ion of Mr.Sherrill,a farmer of theStatesvillesection.‘Mr.Sherrill is here today.This morning he visited Superintendent of Education E.T. Atkinson with the view to getting information concerning Wayne farm lands.He wants to move here andsaystherearemanyotherfarmers of his neighborhood who would_be glad to come east.“Mr.Sherrill told the superin-tendent-that there was.absolutely no hope of redeeming his farm to the point that it could be profitably.cul-tivated.Erosion and landslides have ruined it¥beyond hope of redemp- tion and,he said,people of his neigh- borhood «are thoroughly dishearten-ed.” Farmers whose cultivated landswereinthemainriverbottomsare naturally discouraged,for most of the lowland along the river is ruined, for the time at least..It is hoped however,that the sivuation is not so bad as indicated.And any of the Iredell farmers who-—-think—it—neces— sary to move can find plenty of goodlandin.the county not subject to‘damage by flood. Wilkes Votes $250,000 of Bonds For Roads. Wilkes county Saturday voted a bond issue of $250,000 for good roads.The bonds were carried by a big majority,on the largest regis- tration ever recorded in the county, it is said.Thirty days ago,contin-ues the report,the sentiment of the county was.overwhelmingly against a bond issue but a’campaign of edu- cation inaugurated by the ,North Wilkesboro Commercial ~club,with Leonard Vyne as chairman;ex-Con- gressman R.N.Hackett,T..B.Fin- ley,ex-Congressman C.H.Cowles, ev.A.T.Abernethy,Solicitor J.J.

THE MITCHELL GRAVE. Col.“Cohen”Denies That Its _Sanctity is Disturbed.

The idea of putting the punish- micnt on the parents might,not be practicable,but there’s where it be- longs in most cases;and if parents ‘had to pay a.few stiff.fines or go to ‘jail or the chain gang for the mis- conduct of their children,it would work a revolution in family govern- ment —the government which has .almost ceased to exist so.far as the control of children is concerned. This idea,if it could be put into practice,might solve the problem that gives so much concern —what to do with youthful offenders.If it could be done,parents.should be ‘made ‘to govern and train their own children,which is their duty,instead of ‘asking the government to do it through means~of reform schools. on The following from the Oxford Orphans’Friend,which came to light after the foregoing was written,is pertinent to the discussion: “A Chicazo judge.who has been rvpon the bench in the Windy City during seven terms,has made a spe-cial study of the delinquent children brought before his court.“In this period the number of young offend- ers has run far into the thousands, a number sufficient to draw depend- able conclusion.After having given much study to the problem as to the causes lving hack of youthful delin- quency,he unhesitatingly says that had parents are responsible for at least four-fifths of the bad children. He docs not mean that these parentsarebadinthesensethattheydelib- erately or actually lead their sons and daughters into bad ways;he means that the delinquency is the resuit of their failure <o give thechildrenthekindofattentionand taining they need.It is his convic- tion ‘that the fathers and mothers of the bad four-fifths are either too in-competent or indifferent,or both,tobé—parents,and that the —childrenWhomtheyhavebroughtintothe world enter life under such unhealthy egnditions that they naturally grav-itte towards the police court.The judge is very severe in his condem- nation,laying the greater part of the blame upon the fathers,upon —he thinks should be visited the punishment demanded by theetimesofthechildrentheyhaveneg-Iéeted. he Hickory Record is a year old. he paper has “passed through the eXperimental stage,”says Editor} Ferrabee,“and is “here to stay.Fi-| nancially the,-paper has noi proved a great success,but it has about-broken even.’That.is doing | well for the first year for a daily in) Hickory,where it was an experiment.| Editor Ferrabee and his co-iavorers| are’giving Hickory a good paper and| they're doing it by hard and unre- mitting toil’They’re giving much more than they’re getting in return atid they deserve the very best tne n and community can give them.

The morning services on Sunday lasted for three hours.The pastor held a special service for members of the Sunday school who were not Church membérs,at 10 o’clock.There were about 20 in attendance at thisservice,all of whom -were of age sufficiently.mature for church mem- bership.Nearly all of these ex- pressed the purpose to live the Chris- tian life by faith in Jesus Christ. Only five or six of this number join-ed the church Sunday,and others of these will join later. At 11.05 seven children were bap-tized at the altar of thy cnurch.This service was a very impressive one. The sermon by the pasvor followed, and immediately after came the re- ception of members.An impressive 1 hortation of the pastor to the church —to carry out in reality the ritual obligation,“Do all in your power to increase their faith,confirm their hope and perfect them in love.”He called upon the congregation to rise and changing the exhortation to a question,he asked,“Will you do all in your power to.increase their faith,confirm their hope and perfect them in love?”The congregation, with every evidence of seriousness and deep solemnity answered,“We do,God being our helper.”Another part of the ritual exhortation,said the pastor,comes with special force at this time.Your present pastor can remain your pastor but eight weeks longer.Reading from the rit- ual service again,he said,“There- fore I commend to your care these whom we this day recognize as mem- bers of the Church of Christ.It is my duty to care for them,‘as best I may,for the eight weeks I am yet to be with you,but the new preacher will not be acquainted with the con- gregation,so upon you as the body of the membership of this church rests the obligation of caring tender- ly for these so newly come into the fellowship of your communion.” ec f e t C¢ Foreman,Chas.R.Reeves,BrantleyS.Clayton.

Congressional.Candidates —in First Joint .Discussion at Taylorsville —An Opinion of Their:Efforts and a Summa- ry.of ‘Their Remarks. The first verbal set-to between theHon.-R.-L.-“Doughton,--Representa- tive in Congress from this district, S.Williams of Cabarrus,took place’in Taylorsville Tuesday and waa number of Iredell citizens and some' from other countiés joined the crowd of Alexandrians to hear the first joint discussion of the campaign be-tween the congressional candidates.The Candidates,‘”""° 1 bater is well known in the district,| in which he is now making his fourth campaign for Congress.In’ every campaign —he has challenged his‘opponent for a joint canvass and has shown himself able to take careofallcomers,not»,excepting Mr. Frank Linney,who opposed him twoyearsago;and Mr,Linney is some debater..Mr.Doughton is not anorator,but he talks mighty well.He can say more in an ‘hour than the ; average speaker will say in ‘two, hours.He talks —-understandingly| and knows how to thrust and parry and how to find the weak joints in the armor of an opponent.Mr.Williams,who is a Yadkin county man,long a resident of Ca- barrus,where he is a_lawyer of personally,makes a_good _appear- ance on the stump and talks well, with more deliberation than manner of a lawyer addressing ajury.He has served in the Legisla- ture and was the leader of his party at one session. pressed some at least who saw him and heard him for the first time,as much above the average of some of the candidates the Republicans have offered in the district. The debate was clean,good-na- There was none of the _profanity, vulgarity or indecent jokes,such as too many stump speakers have been: in the past.It Mr.Doughton wont to indulge in should:be said forthatheisalways clean in debate and Mr.Williams gave _no indica- i;tion of being of the smutty type. While the champions ofcheeredlustilyafterthe.cheering got under way,Mr.Doughton ap-peared to have a little the best of it in that respect.Whether that meant that the majority of the crowd were Doughton adherents,however,is not known. Who got the best of it?That maydependonyourviewpoint.Natural- ly ‘you think the man who champi- ons the side in which you _believe has the best of it,because you-are-of his way of thinking.Looked at inthemostunbiasedlightofwhich Landmark is capable,this paper is candidly of the opinion that Mr. Doughton had the best of the Tay- lorsville discussion..Mr.Williams was handicapped by apparent ina- bility to make much -headway in criticising the Democratic record. He devoted most of his time to mak-ing an old-time Republican tariff ar- gument-—nnd he did that well.But when it came to the Democratic rec- ord in Congress—for so.much of which the majority—of-the Republi- cans voted—Mr.Williams was awk- ward and unskillful.He may im- prove on that by practice and mayget:onto Mr.Doughton’s curves ,suf- ficiently_to_make.it more interesting for the Mountain Farmer if theirjointdebatescontinue,but at the first show-down Mr.Doughton had either that Mr.Williams is a failure as a debater—by no means.Some of the Republicans will _naturally contend that their man haa the best of it,but The Landmark would be willing to leave its view to an unbi- ased jury and risk a verdict.The speaking -began.at~1.80 p.-m.and‘lasted till 4.A few ladies werepresentandthecrowdheardthe speakers patiently to the end— many standing in the crowded aisle during the two and a_half hours. Mr.Doughton spoke first—for an hour.Mr:Williams followed for !an hour,Mr.Doughton had a rejoin- der of 10 minutes and Mr.Williams a rejoinder of 5. Mr.Doughton. The Congressman was_presented by Mr.J.H.Burke of Taylorsville, who stressed the fact that the Dem- ocratic candidate is a farmer.Some one has said,quoted Mr.Burke,that “the best legislation is enacted by Night Prowlers. The police were called to the Nooe apartment.house on Center street |that as there are men from the different avocations in life,”and he was of the opinion few farmers inlast_night_bya burglar_glarm,—but--nublie life.when you —have a goodthevisitorwasgone.Night prowl-ers have yisited several homes inStatesville’recently.At one home an attempt was made to insert a keyin\door.

The Department of Agriculture has just arranged to employ an ad- ditional man to boost the develop-' ment of the cheese industry in the North Carolina mountains,and he will go to work in a few days.One man already is devoting his entire time to interesting the farmers in {this work.This will enable the goy-’ ernment to take care of an industry that has expanded with almost in- credible speed since it started two years ago.»4 A government expert declares thatthechee8emade-in-North Carolina iseauivalenttothatwhichcomesfrom Wisconsin and New York,the prin- cipal cheese States of the nation.and the department looks to the North Carolina mountain farmers to find a prosperity from this industry throughout the section adapted to the work.They are finding an eager market,since the quality of their product is good,and are far from having to leave the State to find an outlet for their goods.They make the regular American cheese whichhasWeencomingfrom.Wisconsin andNewYork. |That the industry proved profitable‘from the beginning,appealing to the|farmers because of the:good pricesavailable,is indicated by the factthatuptodatesixadditionalplants ave been:erected or are now being erected.Shares are sold to the peo-ple in the communities and they in-‘vest such amounts as they haveavailable.The plants at the pres-ent time are confined chiefly to thecountiesofAshe,Watauga and Yan-cey.Over in Tennessee plants havebeenbuiltinSevierand.Johnsoncounties,while plans have just been ‘made for starting the-industry inthemountainsofVirginia.Not only are additional plants be-ing installed,-bringing vhe total uptonine,but the three plants which‘were established and in operation|last year,on which the government|made a_glowing report,have beenpracticallydoubled.They will run the entire year around.

The farmers’loan act,according ito’The Country Gentleman,a recog- bnized authority,will release millions. «for agricultural purposes and farm- biog will take rank wth manufactur- ‘ing and.commerce.The Country Gentleman is not only recognized au- pthority but is non-partisan authori- ety—it is an agriculturar and not a Sosa paper.Mr.Williams,the "Republican candidate for Congress iin.this.district,while admitting that bthe act is a step in the right direc- 3 Ktion,doesn’t see much good in it. The Landmark inclines to the opin- ‘don,however,that Mr.Williams is not well informed as to the Rural §Credits act.In his speech at Tay- «lorsville he said ‘there were twelve imembers of ‘the Land Loan Bank peers and there are only five.He‘ also said that a member of the loan @ussociation had to get his paper ‘en- Baorsed by the,other members to bor- row money.This is misleading. There is no endorsement as security. If..a member fails to pay and his security.docs not -bring.the.amount tof his debt,the loss is met by as- [of justice,it is of the gpinion that sIthe State Supreme Court,or some- —and dilligence of et pe *Mein the case,”to keep raight and as a matter body.with authority to fix a hard and fast rule,should say how much=liquor:a citizen of North Carolina may have in his possession and keep within.the bounds of the law.,Offi- cers all over the State daily arrest folks for!having too much liquor in their possession and as a rule,if the party has more than one quart,he is held guilty—-that is,if he is one of the common herd,without.special prominence or influence.It is cus- tomary to seize and search the per- sons and property of this latter class on suspicion,without warrant.Su- perior Court Judge Conner has held that officers have no right to seize the baggage of a suspected party and make search without a warrant, but that sort of thing.is done daily. The State Supreme Court has held, in one case at least,that one com- ing from without the State may bring along with him a few quarts to give to friends;»and in Asheville the other day a prominent lawyer and citizen,an ex-police ‘judge and ex-mayor of the city,had nine gal- lons shipped to his address in a trunk and got away with it when he testified under Oath that it was for his personal use. The Landmark is aware that whether it may appear that one has the liquor in his’possession for the purpose of sale enters into the mat- ter.But*in most cases,especially in the lower courts,it seems to be taken for granted that the mere pos- session of an extra amount of liquor is evidence that the purpose is il- legal;but there seems to be no fixed rule as to the quantity one may have and “get by with it,”when there is no evidence to show that the liquor is for other than his own use. No objection is raised here as_to the enforcement of the law.It ought to/be enforced—to the letter officers in this respect is to be commended,provid- ed the law is enforced on all .alike. It is the apparent discrimination,or the apparent lack of any fixed rule in applying the law to all persons alike and the same way in all sec- tions af the State,that has attracted The Landmark’s attention. MR.WILLIAMS.— The Landmark confesses to sur- prise that a gentleman of the intel- ligence and standing of Mr.Wil- liams,the Republican congressional candidate in this district,should contend that the farm demonstra- tion work is of no value to the tarm- ers.Mr.Williams cither must not be informed as to the merits of this work,or he hopes to prejudice the people in the counties where there are no farm demonstrators and where the advantages of the work are unknown.In either case Mr. Williams is inexcusable. Where the farm demonstration work has not been in operation and the people do not know what it ac- complishes,it is natural for some of them to agree with Mr.Williams that it is of no benefit.But in coun- ties like Iredell,where the people have seen and realized what farm demonstration work,the corn clubs, tomato clubs,poultry and pig clubs mean for the progress and wealth of the county,Mr.Williams will not make votes—he will probably lose votes—by ridiculing farm demon- tration work.He will certainly find many men,like that one in his au- dience at Taylorsville,who.will tell him that it has helped them,and can tell him how it has helped. WILKES FIRST.| It seems to The Landmark_that the request of the Wilkes people, that they be allowed to have’a large share of the State’s part of the »,Seasment on.the other members,not Ylexeeeding 5 per cent.—as in case of |‘ya bank.This insures care in making| first distribution of the Federal road fund,is entirely proper under the circumstances—which are ex- vies.He contends that writers ‘mi.tate writers as goose followsgoose the following among other samples of the sameness: Every time «a man and womanmarryandareimportantenough get their names in newspapers,it is announced as something remarkablethat“they had aaweddingevernoisy?|MigsSometimesawedding/is:noisy noisy with fuss and feathers and mu- sic and parades and 60 on.,More- over,this critic’s information Is very limited if he doesn’t know that the “quiet weddings”the writers talk about are the home weddings,which are distinguished.from the display church weddings by the word quiet. Furthermore,he should xnow that it is customary to begin by saying it was “A wedding of unusual inter est,”no matter if it is the same sort as millions of others;and the ac- count is often further embellishedbybeingcalled“An Unusual Socie- ty Event,”“The Most Interesting Society Event of the Season.”The writers are not original but some of them strive «after originality.The most original as well as the most in- teresting writers aye those who use simple language,good English and write naturally..It is the straining after something,the endeavor to ap- pear learned,eloquent or sensational that spoils many writers. The language of the society writ- ers always interests The Landmark. They talk about “house guests”-as-if other guests were entertained in the kitchen,the barn or outdoors.Then a function as if some were there un- invited.In the first instance it is explained that the phrase is used to distinguish guests who are.staying for a few days or a few weeks in the home from those who are _simply callers.In the second place,when a lady entertains her club the “invited guests”are those not members of the club,who are specially invited for the event.: Mr.Julian S.Miller,who a year or two ago reformed and quit the newspaper business,but has come back,as*most of them do,once they’re well initiated,is doing fine work on the Charlotte News.The News was fortunate to secure him. }—which is.largely truc—and--gives.

Recent dispatches from the |zone have mentioned the war |used by the British army,which did) service in smashing 'the German lines.The “tanks”are ‘armored motor cars.They were: built for the most part in Peoria. |Tll.,as caterpillar tractors,designed |many years before the war began,|to meet some of.the difficult prob- lems.of modern farming.Except |for the armor,their machine guns |and their crews,thousands like them are in use today in the United States /in plowing,digging ditches and oth- er labors less heroic than war. M.M.Baker,vice president of the Holt Manufacturing “Company,says it was machines made by his com- ,pany at its Peoria plant that hurd- |led German trenches,walked through ;most effective ‘forests and crawled over shell cra-} ters in the face of intense rifle and ‘machine gun fire. |“It is true,”said Mr.Baker,“that |these tractors can go ahead over al- |most.anything.They ean -straddle la trench,go through a swamp,roll ;over logs,or climb through —shell -eraters like a car or a juggernaut. 'It looks uncanny to see them crawl ialong the ground,just like a huge |caterpillar.In a thicx forest,if \they encountered trees they could not brush out of their way,they of could easily be used.to uproot them d clear their own paths.” Mr.Baker said the tractors sent o England weigh about 18,000 ler and are built of steel.The cater- pilar feature,he explained;is of the |utmost importance.Speaking broad- ‘ly,the tractor crawls on two belts |side of the hody. hody,are two lines of steel rails making four lines in all joints in the rails make it turn to the right or teri.

Loray,Sept.23 —We were both said and glad at our missionary meet- ing at old Concord church Thursday afternoon.It was our last meeting with our beloved president,Mrs.E.D,Brown,and the last number on theprogrammewasamessageofloveto her.Nine young ladics arranged on the pulpit platform,with big capi-tals spelled:“WWE LOVE YOU!”Just in front of them stood little MaryWattandNellaSharpeholdinga banner on which was written “GOOD- BYE.”After the reading of Phil., 1:3 and 5,and Philemon 25,the young ladies sang,“God be with you till we meet again.”As they marched back to their seats the little girls deposit-ed their banner and_each taking a spring lem- dancer,” small box presented to Mrs.Brown a chain and a lovely cameo set in pearls and sapphires—the latter being her birthstone—a gift from her friends, a little token of a big love. It was difficult for Mrs.Brown to say anything,but in response to the message;“We love you,”she.said: “TY love you”—the sweetest expres- sion in any language.A little girl once scrawled’on many slips of pa- per,“I-love-you,”-and—-tucked--them into her father’s shoes,hose,pockets, everywhere;and every time he took an article from his grip he had a glimpse into that devoted little heart. Now,if our pastor and his good wife should find this love messagetuckedineverynookandcranny when they unpack in Rowan,yet the story would not be all told.Hearts may feel and characters may show, but words.cannot tell what it has meant to us to have Rev.E.D.Brown as our pastor and his faithful wife as a co-worker during these last”nineyears.We thank God and we thank them for the privilege that has been ours and rejoice with those to whom theygo.

During the recent revival meeting at Broad Street 12 inches of .display advertising were used in each issue of the paper for two or three weeks to call attention to the services.The Broad Street congregation,under the leadership of Pastor Kirk,is.pro- gressive.It has tried newspaper publicity and found it effective. It may be of interest to know,in this connection,that newspaper ad- vertising is used in connection with Christian mission work in Japan and China.Rev.Dr.Albertus Pieters of Qita,Japan,a missionary of the Dutch Reformed Church,has_for three years used paid space in the newspapers of Japan and China to tell the gospel story to those who know it not.He tells his experience in the September.issue of the Mis- sionary Review of the World.He has kept careful account of,cost and re- sults and has found the results’sat- isfactory.It is not ‘a choice of meth- ods,the says,but this method or none—that thousands are reached in this way that could not otherwise be| reached at all.A_religious ‘writer, commenting on this,predicts that “we shall one day hear of American givers paying for all the gospel ad- vertising in the newspapers of a giv- en section of the non-Christian world,even as we are now used to their paying for a new school or hos- pital and for the salary of a mission- ary or of a native worker.” Newspapers will naturally be ac- cused of having an “intrus”in the case,but really,when you get down to the facts,what’s the difference between publishing notices of church services as news matter,which most of the newspapers—except the lar- ger dailies—publish free,and going into the advertising columns and paying cash?Is it all right when x [MS OF CURRENT NE Happenings Here and There inoeState...ok, The Presbyterian Synod of |NorthcatesmeetsinSalisburyOctober ‘Senator Overman began his cam ign at High Point last Tube.y night,ae Hon.T.W.~Bickett,Democratic candidate for Governor,will speak at Wilkesboro next Monday,|.‘ The operation of an electric line between High Point and Thom. asville has been.discontinu after three months’trial because it didn’t pay. bsalom Wise,a Confederate vet- eran who died in Lincoln county a few days ago at the age of 79,ha not during his life had the services of a physician until his last illness.

Correspondence of The Landmark. Chapel -Hill,Sep*.22.—Last spring was the most disestrous to the forests of North Carolina from fire of any so far recorded.From an incomplete epnvass made by the State Forester, reports were received of the burning over of more than three-quarte:s of a million acres cf forest land and &loss of over $4,000,000 in property from forest fires.Eight counties in eastern |and one in western North Carolina,re- ported damages exceeding $100,000 each,while 16 others lost moze then $20,000 each;two counties reported dameges of a million dollars or more, It is noteworthy that less thin half a million dollars’damage was reported from the western half of the State, while more than three and a half mil- lion dollars was reported from the eastern -counties.This is especially interesting in view of the fact that the fire protective measures taken taken were confined ,to the vwéStern counties,as the money came from the Federal government under a provision of the Weeks law,which allows the spending of 2 limited amount for the protection of the headwaters of streams,provided co-operation can be secured from the State and th»land- owners. ‘Four Federal patrolmen were em- ployed last spring under this provis- ion,and it is generally agreed’that their work was of the greatest help in’fire control.Their value was seen chiefly in preventing fires and extin- guishing fires before they got beyond control.The majority of our fires are caused by carelessness,and it has al- ready been proved that the presence of a Federal patrolman in the neigh- borhood makes every one more care- ful.The State Forester will be able to employ several Federal patrolmen during the fall fire season..Other things being equal,these men will be pleced where they will receive thc strongest co-operation from the land- owners of the neigaborhood.They should be appointed as soon as the dangerous season commences and their appointments will terminate as soon as the fall-fire season is over. Besides employing a few patrolmen the State Forester offers to send out to those who request it copies.of firc warning notices for posting in public places.These posters,when,properlyused,have had a very good effect in making the public more careful with fire. The new State law in regard to forest fires is one of the best now operative in any of the Southerr States.Unfortunately the appropria- tion for enforcing it was not granted, so that the Federal government has to be depended upon for what little pro- tection it is possible to undertake.Itisconfidertlyexpectedthatthenext Legislature will make an adequate appropriation for this important work. This will not take the place .f what but will enable the State to ask and obtain a very much Isrger Federal apportionment than it is now possible for it to receive. New Record For Exports. Washington Dispatch to New York Times.;5Forthefirsttimeinhistory the value of exports from ‘the United States in any one month has passed the half-billion-dolar mark.This is a record for all countries as well as the United States.The tremendous total was achieved in August,when the value of exports was $510,000,- 000,or $35,000,000 more than the previous high ‘record,which was es- tablished in May,and $45,000,000 higher than the June total. This unprecedented exportation ‘is due to the war in Europe.Enormous shipments from the United States are made necessary by the lack production in the belligerent coun- tries,and the demand for war muni- tions and the materials of which they are made,as well as foodstuffs, horses and other products of the United States. There was a decrease in imports into the United States in August, and this has swelled the balance of trade in favor of this country.Im-ports in that month amounted in val- ue_to _$199,247,391,or a decline—of $47,000,000 as compared with June, the record month.The value of im- ports in August,however,was great- er than any prior August. The ‘exports for the year ended with August ‘amounted to $4,750,- 000,000,.and the imports $2,300,000,- 000.Both totals are far in excess of those for a similar period in any previous year.‘Of the August im- ports 66.5 per cent.entered free ofduty,compared with 67.5 per cent. in August,1915, 'Lax-Fos,AMild,Effective Laxative &Liver Tonic| Ooes Not Gripe nor Disturb the Stomach.
