W. Allen, an employe ot the Globe Tonic Company, fired a bullet into his breast last night at 7:05 In his room at the Hosklns House. on East Depot street inflicting a mortal wound from which he died an hour later. The cause of the rash deed appears to relate to the dead man's past life in South Car olina. He had been here only three weeks, was known only to a few peo ple and no one with the possible ex ception of his business associates were familiar with bis past lite. Inquir ies, however, reveal the Tact that his career in that state had been check ered.

First of all, we regret the circumstances be yond measure, it the opponents ot the good roads movement have been able to turn to their advantage anything said by this paper, In its sincere and consistent, if feeble, advocacy ot im proved highways. Such a thing seems well nigh inconceivable, but it Green, the person referred to in the forego ing telegram, really made the state ment attributed to him that this pa per was influenced in Us advocacy of better roads by a money Consideration he must in the very nature of the ease be wholly innocent of moral sen sibility or responsibility. Manifestly, better roads would pot help Green; nature and ah unpropit tous fate have decreed that he shall remain permanently in the. mud. Even well tntenttoned neighbors will scarcely find It possible to lift such a mentality above the mire. Indeed, Green's contempt tor better roads Is equalled only, perhaps, by a profound contempt: for the truth. .

The Post says the campaign will be made In earnest and there will be no foolishness about it The "plan Is this: '' "The city authorities will be asked to remove all prostitutes so that there will be none within four blocks of the Southern- passenger station and with in the same distance ot any church, white or black. "It this is not done by the first of June a campaign of publicity will be gone into at once, and there will be no compromise or shielding any one. In the meanwhile the club will begin to perfect plans for the campaign or publicity, so If there is need lor June 1st there will be no delay. In preparation lor this a photographer baa been engaged to take pictures of all houses known to be occupied by persons of Immoral character and in any way engaged in immoral prac tices. Cuts will be made from these pictures and a full and accurate data be gathered as to ownership, occu pant and other facta relative to the place.

" Mr. Bryan, following the dinner. which was given Friday night, gave out the following statement: -- : BRYAN'S STATEMENT. "My meeting with Mr. Clark has served to clear up a (misunderstand ing as to my exact position toward him at the Baltimore) convention. 1 have tried to make .it clear to Mr. Clark that I have always regarded and now regard him as a clean pro gressive democrat' If my language at Baltimore created any Impression that I was charging Mr. Clark with being In sympathy with any. of the reactionary foraes, I am glad of the opportunity to clear any such miscon ception ot my words and acts for -1 did not Intend to reflect upon either the persona! or political integrity of the speaker.)

The, loss of the preside tial nomination was a small thing as compared to the injury done to mj reputation in the -eyes of the world.

Logan and L. L. James. . service will take its place as one of tne most important factors in national life. Dr. Houston's plan has the hear ty support of President Wilson. The. primary purpose of the new Service is to attack the high cost of living. And it win attack it funda mentally. It 'will go to the farm where the necessities of life are pro duced. For one of the chief factors in the high cost ot living is the fact that production has not kept pace with de mand. , . The aim of the new service is to make the farm more attractive, and in this statement is included the scores of reforms which economists have been urging for rural life, It includes better schools, better roads,, wider distribution of agricul tural technical education, more peo ple on farms, more intelligent farm ing,' better marketing conditions,' clos er relations between : producers and consumers In short, all of the activ ities for rural betterment now scat tered through a score of official and semi-official organizations will be con centrated in this one bureau . The task will be a tremendous one The work Is big enough to enlist the attention of a whole federal depart ment-: While , the stated purpose of the service is abstract, in actual work the bureau "will get down to cases. It will teach better rural life by actual demonstrations. - - While-no specific plans have yet been made, it is expected - that the service will conduct actual model schools in different sections of the country. It may construct-, model country roads for demonstration pur poses. By actual demonstration , K will show how the rural school can become the farm neighborhood center where the country population can go for entertainment instruction and so cial Intercourse. ,; .. Underwood, The Worker. . Although he has returned to work. dispatches report that his physicians have warned Chairman Oscar under wood, ot the ways and means com mittee, that unless he more carefully conserves his strength he will con front a breakdown. The warning is timely and for his own sake no less than for that ot the party It Is to be hoped the Alabamlan will cut down his pace. The task of tariff revision alone is a proverbial taker of human toll. Ding- ley, McKlnley even Payne and Al- drtch emerged from their several ex periments with strength notably im paired. The drain Is both mental and physical.. The man who is steering revision must familiarize himself, su perficially at least - with numberless schedules and their intricacies. He must study with experts and have a working knowledge of the economic effect ot the changes he is advocating. He must wrestle with the represen tatives of the interests affected. - He must be a combination of arch-diplomat, conciliator, tyrant and economic expert And then, the most crucial IS 1KD ABOUT LEXISGTOH. .

All of this Underwood has accom plished with rare success and fidelity. In addition, he - has assumed charge practically of all house legtation since his party's return i to power. Whatever the fate of tariff revision. or of the legislative program gener ally, the ability and energy of Under wood will be a foremost factor in its execution. He is not a spectacular or a self-advertising statesman. But he has already written himself aB one of the party's finest assets, and, re gardless of party, a constructive lead er of hleh value to the country. At lanta Constitution. --' Fourteen Barrels Seized at Salisbury. Sheriff J. H. McKlnxle, Deputy F. C. Tolbert and Deputy Q. L. Baker Monday seized 14 barrels of liquor near the city limits, ot Salisbury, ai leged to be the property ot P. H. Thrash ot Ashevllle. The latter was held under a bound of $500, and Jim Luck, Lem Walker and Lee Springs, colored employes of Thrash, were Jailed In default of bond. Upon his return from Raleigh Mon day Sheriff. McKlnzle was informed that a liquor plant was in operation on a large scale near the city and at once made for the scene. He found evidences of a complete equipment Including measures, tunnels, siphons, strainers, corks and other vessels nsed In handling liquor. - It Is said the plant was started Sat urday, while the sheriff was out of the county, and that the owners were planning big things. The technical charge against Thrash la that he was soiling and had on- bnnd more liquor than the law allows. The seizure waa nmde by the ollicers undor the search snl seizure law of the state. The first siiiiure In Rowan u,(,r the new law was a lane one. lv Iltjuor Is held under a strong guard. The Tobacco Crop In North Carolina. North Carolina's tobacco crop is a world factor, says the Danbury Re porter. During the last season prices were at so good a figure that the wealth of the state a-d the comfort ot the farmers were greatly Increased. It is very fortunate for this section that -there is variety ot money crops, and that we no longer put all .our eggs In one basket One might get an il lustration right here in this county, Lfor in the tobacco sections the farm ers were more than pleased at the re sult of the season, while the cotton yield waa largely cut off. - The farm er who had had both cotton and to bacco was in good plight Now that corn-growing Is wain coming to : be regarded aa a necessary thing on any farm the owner of which is to be put down as a real farmer, money crops can be planted as side lines. The corn-grower, with plenty ot food ' In his cribs, has the backbone ot farm ing. Further to the eastward the pea not crop la another money producer and In that region there is tobacco too and ot course cotton. The posi- Uvis statement Is made that tobacco acreage is to be Increased this year. and it prices are well sustained, as they were during the season ot 1912-13 there will be more prosperity.
