Southern Statesmen May Land Some Good Jobs as Ambassadors and Ministers Many After Pie Out look Bright for Newspaper Men. Mr. Wade H. Harris, editor of The Charlotte Observer, sent his paper the following from Washington, where he was sojourning last week, under date of the 6th: "How completely the personnel of the diplomatic service has been changed since the days of Grover Cleveland is evident from the fact that at this time there is not in that service a Southern man holding a job as Ambassador or Minister. Several hold secretaryships in embassies and legations,., at "salaries of 2.000 and $3,00, and there are a number of Southern Consuls at a little the rise of these salaries, but the Southerners have been swept out of the big jobs. The French Ambassy, for which Major Hale has thrown out a line, pays $17,500. That, in fact, is the salary of all the Ambassadors. The salaries of the Ministers are $10, 000 and $12,000. Cuba, Greece, Spain, Netherlands and the like, of fer inviting jobs for Southern states men. There will be no scarcity of applications from the South, and the South is going to get a good por tion. The Southern representation in Congress is hospitable to Southern ap plicants and it nas the ear of the Administration. "The prospective candidacy of Mr, W. C. Dowd, publisher of The Char lotte News, for United btates mar shall of the Charlotte district, will interest a number who are casting eyes in the same direction. Mr. Dowd is "figuring" on the job. "The matter of redisricting the congressional districts in our State seems to be more or less talked of. No very serious consideration, how ever, has been given it by the Con gressmen. Those advocating a change in alignment, will have to show where it will be of positive benefit to party interests. I here seems to be a well defined disposition to let well enough alone. Nor does the proposition to floor Congressman Claude Kitchin by a gerrymander of his district meet with favor. "The Washington hotels and the railroads have begun a campaign against Mr. Wilson's proposition to change the inauguration date to April. They count on the greatest a i mi ;...! k u ever been known in Washington, and do not want to see present plans up set. "On the surface there does not ap pear to be much of a scramble for the fleshpots, but one has only to get a look at a Congressman's daily mail to get an idea of what is go ing on. Not only does the candidate himself write, but he gets friends all over the State to forward letters of indorsement. The next quarter's re port of the Postomce Department is going to show an immense increase in the sales of stamps. "The number of newspaper men out for postoffice jobs is a matter of com mon talk. It may be an encourage ment to "the boys' to know that at least one Senator has expressed his satisfaction at this, saying that the newspaper men are good fellows and ought to have the postoflfices. The candidacy of each individual whose name was mentioned was favorably spoken of. In truth, the outlook seems good for the men of the press." MAY REDISTRICT STATE. Number of Changes Suggested to Next Legislature, Washington Cor., 4th, Charlotte Ob server. The next North Carolina Legisla ture may redistrict the State so as to give a more equal distribution of population in the congressional dis tricts. Representative Stedman has more than 300,000 inhabitants in the fifth. "Representatives' Small, Kitchin and Faison have the smallest districts. A number of changes could be made that would help the Democrats and at the same time make better dis tricts. It is suggested that the Legislature will give Union and, perhaps, Anson and Wilkes to Representative Dought on, and add Robeson and Forsyth to Mr. Page's district. To Mr. Small's district Northamp ton and Bertie would be added, and to Mr. Faison's Greene and Lenoir. To Mr. Kitchin's district would be added Vance, Granville, Person and Caswell. In the shakeup Mr. Pou of the fourth district would get Lee. If the plan suggested is carried out no one of the Congressmen now in would be redistricted out of his nomi nation next time unless the people de cided to make a change. There are great possibilities in the proposed pro gram. Mr. A. B. Barnes of Maxton was one of the 30 successful applicants, out of 63, before the board of exam iners of the North Carolina Phar maceutical Association in Raleigh last week for license to practice pharmacy in this State.

Meets Next Year in Shelby Reports Show Great Growth and Advance ment. The Baptist State Convention, in sesion at Goldsboro" last week, closed Friday. As was stated in Thursday's Robesonian, Rev. C. H. Durham, pas tor of the First Baptist church of Lumberton, was re-elected president. The convention will be held next year in Shelby. The organiation will be completed at the opening session next year before the opening sermon is preached, instead of following the cus tom of former years. Reports submitted during the con vention just closed showed growth and advancement. Statistics show that the Baptists of the State now number more than 237,000, an increase of 7,000 members during the year. The Sunday school enrollment is 180,000. The final report of the committee on enrollment showed 518 delegates present, an increase of 107 over last year. A resolution was adopted asking the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention to pre pare Sunday school lessons for this denomination as soon as possible. A committee was appointed to con sider the advisability of establishing a summer encampment on the coast of North Carolina under the direc tion of the State Convention. A reso lution, presented by Archibald John son, was adopted that a petition be E resented to the next General Assem ly of North Carolina that the public school system of the btate be extend ed so that it will be in reach of every child in the State for at least six months of the year. The report of the committee on temperance was adopted recommending: That the next General Assembly be petitioned to 'pass the "search and seizure" law; that Representatives in Congress be requested to use their influence in securing the passage of the Webb bill prohibiting shipment of intoxi cants into prohibition territory; that the Baptists of the State be urged to attend the temperance conference in Washington next March and the Anti Saloon meeting in Raleigh in Jan uary; that the work of the Anti Saloon League in North Carolina be commended. Goldsboro Special, 5th, Charlotte Observer. The trustees problem of the Bap tists of North Carolina seems satis factorily settled. The resolutions of Rev. W. C. Barrett and Baylus Cade, looking to a recognition of the Con vention by the boards which govern the Baptist educational institutions of the State were reported on this afternoon by the committee appoint ed to consider them, and the Conven tion accepted the solution offered. The trustees are advised by the committee to so amejid their char ters that trustees shall be endorsed by the State Convention, thus offset ting the dangers suggested by the resolutions. The action has effect ually stopped discussion of the mat ter. The Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention proposes that Southern Baptists raise $1,250, O00 as a memerial to Adoniram Jud son, thus commemorating the 100th anniversary of his sailing as a mis sionary of the Church. This fund is to be used for educational and oth er equipment purposes in foreign lands, $200,000 to be spent in pub lishing Christian literature, $250,000 in building churches, missionaries' homes and hospitals and 800,000 in equipping mission schools. The fund is to be distinct from the money for Regular missionary enter prises, and it is proposed to raise it within three years' time, pledges be ing taken in three installments. A resolution of marked importance adopted this afternoon was that advising the Baptists of the State to consult .with the Board of Secondary Schools before establishing academies, and further, the present academies are "advised not to increase their in debtedness without consulting the same board. The resolution urges prompt, payment of endowment notes of Meredith and Wake Forest Col leges. The report of secondary schools shows 13 schools under the board 2,469 pupils and 83 teachers en rolled. There is an indebtedness of $5,100, and during the past year the board raised $13,900 for payments on indebtedness and for improve ments. Notes are held by the board for $16,612. A resolution pledging $25,000 for a meeting house at Wake Forest was adopted, with the understanding that the Wake Forest people raise $15,000. resident Durham was instructed to assist Pastor W. N. Johnson of W?ke Forest to raise the money in the Stato, Wake Forest having already secured pledges for its part. The report of the committee of The Biblical Recorder recommends an earnest effort for a larger circulation of this paper, and gives the total in come for the past year, from sub scriptions and advertisements, as $17,625.22 while the total expense was $19,256.12. The present circula tion is around 15,000, and an effort will be made to raise it to 25,000. The Baptist Ministers' Benevolent Association was organized this morn ing with W. H. Campbell, president; T. J. Taylor, vice president; W. R. Cullom, Wake Forest, secretary and treasurer and L. Johnston, auditor. The association will provide for mu tual insurance for the aid of the min isters' families. The report of the State Mission Board shows an advance over last year. The increase in offerings for State missions is $2,150.80; for for eign missions, $4,837.49; for home missions, $3,607.47. The balance in the treasury after pacing all obliga tions will be $480.01.

First Meeting of Peace Conference to be Held This Week An Important Assemblage of Diplomats. London Dispatch, 7th. Prospects for a satisfactory and reasonably rapid settlement of the Balkan war and of the great European interests, depending upon it, seem brighter tonight than at any time since the allied armies took the field against Turkey. The envoys from the Balkan kingdoms, Greece if Greece decides to participate and the Ottoman Empire will hold the first meeting of the peace conference next Friday. At the same time am bassadors of the great powers at London, charged with the task of protecting the interests of their coun tries, will meet as a sort of court of appeals to watch, advise and admon ish the peace delegates. To reach even this complicated ar rangement has strained all the re sources of European diplomacy. There have been times in the past month when even the consent of all the gov ernments to a friendly gathering ap peared beyond the range of possibili ty. Austria consented yesterday to join the ambassadorial conference and Germany, which stood aside awaiting the decision of its ally, announced its acquiescence today. This will be by far the most impor tant assembly of diplomats since the Berlin conference after the Russo Turkish war. Giants, like Bismarck, Beaconsfield, Salisbury and Gortcha koff to be sure, will not tread the stage, but their successors who do will have an equally important work to perform. One question charged with the pos sibilities of disaster is Sevia's un quenchable determination for an Adri atic port and Austria's determination that she will not have it. Servian of ficial newspapers make it plain, how ever, that the little kingdom has made up its mind to take instructions from the powers so far as public opinion in Servia will let it. A second interesting struggle will take place over Turkey's endeavors to hold as much of the conquered terri tory as Oriental diplomacy and the help of friendly powers can save for her. The best bargain the Sultan can make probably will reduce his sub jects in Europe from more than 6,000, 000 to less than 2,000,000 and the Turk seems recounciled to this. A third important factor will be the Greek attempt to gain baloniki. N. C. NEWS VIA WASHINGTON. Under-the-Surface in North Carolina Politics Talked in Hotel Lobbies in the Nation's Capital Major Hale of Fayetteville May Get a Foreign Post. Washington Dispatch, 5th. To get an idea what is going on un der the surface in North Carolina pol itics one has only to stir about hotel corridors here and keep his ears open. Congressmen are only able to par tially prevent leakage of letters, and many a fellow at home, thinking no body will know what he has written is sleeping in false security. Hov they get hold of it here is one of the mysteries, but, anyway, this is the place to hear news from home. Somebody has been writing to Washington that Congressman Claude Kitchin is planning to run for Gov ernor. This, of course, Mr. Kitchin denies. He is a candidate for re-election, his determination only accent uated by efforts to defeat him. There is a plan to gerrymander his district to make his defeat doubly sure. Senator Simmons has been accused of being a party to it, and also of intention to hold up Kitchin's appointments of postmasters. Simmons is not only not so inclined, but views Kitchin with the same good will as of old, and will have nothing to do with the redis ricting scheme. Maj. E. J. Hale is backing for a running jump for Ambassador to France, and it is possible he may land. The Observer learns, if he fails in that, he will get some other good foreign post. The North Carolina delegation seems agreed onthat. Indications are that the Senate will be inclined to temporize with House in matter revision of the tariff. On questions of controversy the Senate will ask to be allowed to make sug guestions. The feeling hre is one of much uncertainty as to what is go ing to grow out of tariff revision at the extra session, but belief is gen eral that the hearings and action will be long, drawn out. It devolpes that Senator Gore has expressed satisfaction wkh Simmons. The Senate has conceded that he will be chairman of the Finance Com mittee, and has gone to discussing other matters. Overman is also conceded one of the big chairmanships Those two mat ters are regarded as absolutely set tled. W. H.

Adopt Resolution Declaring Against Mob Violence Blease Taken to Task and Hotly Del ends His Con victions. Richmond, Va.f Dispatch, 6th. The Governors' Conference unani mously repudiated today the recent utterances of Governor Blease of South Carolina concerning the lynch ing of negroes. By a vote of 14 to4, it adopted a resolution declaring against mob violence and for the impartial enforcement of the law. The four Governors who oposed the resolutions declared themselves as strongly endorsing its purport, but voted no because they thought they had no right to reprimand a colleague? Governor Blease hotly defended, his convictions, snapped his fingers in the face of his colleagues, told them to "go to it," and declared he cared not a whit what the conference said, thought, did or did not do and an nounced that all the resolutions they might ever adopt would neither keep him from the Governor's chair nor from a seat in the United States Sen ate in 1915 or earlier. Four times within as many hours.he asserted, his life had been threatened because of his utterances, but this appealed to him as little as the resolution. The four threatening letters Gover nor Blease received were all annoy mous. One was mailed in Richmond, another in Washington, the third in Louisville and the fourth in Pittsburg. The Washington writer told him he would pay the penalty if he ever came to that city: the Pittsburg witer said: "You will be taken to account on sight for your words;" the Richmond and Lousiville missives were unprint able. Governor Blease Was taken to task by a dozen Governors. Governor Carey of Wyoming denounced him for "claiming a monopoly for South Caro lina of the respect of the white men for women." Govenor Hardley of Missouri de clared that the floor of the conference hall was not a "cleaning house for lo cal and personal controversies. To these declarations Governor Blease replied that he had been quot ed as saying "to hell with the Consti tution" and that what he said yes terday he repeated today to "all the good Governors here; to all the Gov ernors of all the States to all the peo ple of the United States." Once when his voice was drowned in a storm of hisses he turned to the galleries and to his colleagues and laughed. "What care I four your hisses" he asked. Then shaking his clencjied fist he shouted, "hiss of ydu must, only snakes and geese hiss." Governor O Neal unloosed the storm when he introduced the following res olution: "This Conference of Governors does not undertake to control the individ ual views of its members upon any questions of law or administration; it declares that this Government is based upon the fundamental prici ple of law and order; that the Consti tution of each State imposes upon its Chief Executive the supreme duty of taking care that the laws shall be faithfully and equally enforced; that it advocates all proper methods for strengthening and simplifying our method of civil and criminal proced ure. "This conference protests against any disposition or utterances by those entrusted with the execution ofthe law in any of the States of this Union which tends or could be construed as tending to the encouragement or jus tification of mob violence, or inter ference with the orderly processes of the law." To this Governor Mann of Virginia objected and offered the following substitute, which was accepted and adopted "Resolved, that it is the sentiment of the Governors' Conference in ses sion at Richmond, Va., today that the whole power of the several Spates should be used whenever necessary to protect persons accused of crime of every kind against the violence of mobs and to provide for speedy, or derly and impartial trials by courts I oi competent junsaicuon io me ena that the law for the protection of life and property be duly enforced and respected by the people." The conference adjourned this af ternoon to meet informally tomorrow with President Taft at Washington and discuss rural credits, and to meet formally next year at Colorado Springs at a date as yet undeter mined. In its dying hours ft adopted a resolution, which in the opinion of many delegates, sounds the knell of the time-honored mortgage on the farm and pressages the advent of a new financial era for the farmers of the country. Should the intent of this prelimi Governors believe that it will result in nary resolution attain fruition, the the establishment of the new system of State banks throughout the United States, governed by a uniform State law. These banks, under the resolu tion, would be financed by private capital and would operate under leg islation sufficiently elastic to enable them to issue bonds for short or long terms upon American farms, in lieu of mortgages.

Major Howell of the War Department Will Meet Citizens of Robeson Who Are Interested in Improvement of Lumber River in Lumberton Thurs day of This Week An Important Meeting. Major G. P. Howell ,Corps of En gineers, War Department, Charleston, S. C, will be in Lumberton Thursday of this week for the purpose of meet ing the citizens of Lumberton and Robeson county and discussing with them the proposed improvement of Lumber river contemplated in the bill passed by Congress lasfc session at the instance of Senator Simmons and Congressman Godwin. President R. D. Caldwell, of the Industrial and Commercial Club has called a meeting of the members of that club and of business men of the county generally to meet in the club rooms at 11 o'clock a. m. Thursday for the pur pose of hearing Major Howell. This is a meeting that should be of great interest to every citizen of Robeson county. As stated some time ago when mention was first made of the fact that Major Howell, who has a corps of engineers at work now on a survey of Lumber river, wanted to meet at Lumberton citizens of the county interested in the proposed improvement of the river and obtain any information they may be able to furnish him that will enable him to make a report as to whether- the proposed improvement of the river is worth the attention of the government,, it ought to be possible to present the possibilities of Lumber river in such a way to Major Howell that he will recommend straightening its channel at once. EFFECTS DRAINAGE BONDS. Supreme Court Holds That Act Ex empting Bonds of a Drainage Company From Taxation is In valid. Raleigh Dispatch, 4th. An opinion of widespread interest in the list-delivered today by the Su preme Court is that the Drainage Commissioners vs Webb, from Duplin county. In this the court holds that an act exempting the bonds of a drainage company from taxation is invalid. The opinion states that the Consti tution requires all property . to be taxed ad valorem, except the prop erty of the State, counties and mnuic ipalities, and a drainage company is not a municipality; besides, the bonds are not the property of the party that issues them. It is pointed out by the court that State bonds are exempt from taxation as a matter of convenience, because the rate of interest is reduced by ex actly the amount of the taxes which would have to be collected back from them. Aho that the county and city bonds are not exempt from taxation, because if held by parties outside of the county and city.J.he amount of the exemption would have to be made good by the citizens of such other county or city where the holders re side, while the county or town issuing the title of the btate board to 144,- 160, the lower rate of interest. . Superior Court Abruptly Brought to End by Illness of Judge Lane's Wife. After a part of last Thursday's is sue of I he Robesonian had been print ed and mailed Judge H. P. Lane, who was holding superior court here, re ceived a message advising him of the serious illness of his Wife, who was at the home of her parents at Tim monsville, S. C, and: court was im mediately adjourned until noon the following day, Judge Lane leaving at once for Timmonsviile. As soonas it could be put in type this fact was mentioned and the further fact that no case other than In Re Will of S. A. Edmund would be tried during the term and that the jurors for this week need not come to court, and the majority of the papers sent out con tained that information. Friday Judge Lane advised Clerk of Court Skipper that it would be impossible for him to return and to adjourn court for the term. A suit in which effort was made to set aside the will of the late S. A. Edmund had engaged the attention of the court since Monday and it bade fair to hold the court all this week. There was a strong array of counsel on both sides and many out-of-town and all the local doctors were sum moned as expert witnesses, as men tioned in Thursday's paper. When it was learned that Judge Lane could not return a juror was withdrawn and a mistrial ordered in this case. The only other case taken up was the old case of A. H. McLeod vs. Hope Mills Mfg. Co., which was compromis ed. Fine Home-Grown Cabbage. Mr. Gregory- Lennon, who lives near Bellamy, was in town Friday marketing some cabbage. Think of it, selling home-grown cabbage on the local market and it almost Christ mas! And these were fine cabbage, too, just as fine as this reporter ever saw that is, for nome-grown pro duct. Mr. Lennon sold about 30 head and they weighed 119 pounds, aver aging over 3 pounds each at 3 cents per pound. This is not the first time this reporter ever saw home-grown cabbage marketed here in the winter, but these are the finest; and could not the farmers do more of this kind of business profitably ? Mr. Lennon grew 500 head and they only cover a very small Diece of ground, about 10 by 25 yards.
