Senator Overman has introduced his new immigration bill, which goes somewhat farther than the one Barely ? tailing ot passage through the House over Piesident Taft's veto in the Congress before. It pats a head tax of $10 on alien immigrants, inclusive of seamen who are admitted as immigrants, the tax to be paid by the vessel of the transportation line bringing the immigrant. A fine of $1,000 is denounced against those who in any manner prepay tranaporta feion'or otherwise induce immigra- tion of contract labor; and the bill would make it unlawful to induce or assist immigration through advertisements .printed and distributed in foreign coun tries. The Secretary of Labor may also placed United States in speotors and surgeons on vessels oarrying immigrants. Comnfand ing officers of vessels are required to file with the immigration au thorities before departure for the United States accurate informa tion on a variety of facts, and all aliens are to be listed in conven ient groups. There is a section authorizing the President to call an international conference if he deems it expedient, or to send commissioners to any . foreign country, for the purpose of regu lating immigration byy interna tional agreement; likewise to ar range for the mental, moral and physical examination of aliens by American consuls at the port of embarkation. Anar ohists, of course, continue to be barred. The Secretary of Labor is allowed to spend $50,000 annually in the enforcement of the act, without itemizing if the interests of the Government apparently so re quire. The chief practical efiect of the existing legislation against con tract labor, which penalizes any offer of employment, has been to keep away very many trained, ef ficient, responsible people who will not lightly leave home and to make our immigration consist al most altogether of the opposite kind. In this way it has also had the practical effect of discouraging immigration from Northern Europe while dumping immigra tion from Southern and .Eastern Earope upon us wholesale. Ap parently political considerations forbid any present hope of getting these prohibitions modified. But the imposition of more restrictions upon the raw, relatively undesir able mass should operate to set the balance nearer right and give us a better average of immigration through our ports. This is evi dently contemplated by Senator Overman's bill, which therefore looks good. Charlotte Observer. Tariff Bill Bluffs Will be Called.

Barbee,. carrier for this route, brought back the won derous story of a monstrous rep tile. " ; ' Mr. Barbee says that the snake was unlike anything he has ever seen or ever hopes to see both in size and other marks of identifica tions. The rural route man says that the snake was thirty-three feet long, and and as large around as a nail keg. The color he could not desoribe accurately, but says that it waB unlike anything he has ever set his optics on iu the years that are gone. The reptile had white eyebrows, possibly due to its age, and snapped a bill much after the manner of a large ohicken hawk . Its tail was like a beaver's tail. The R. F. D. carrier saw this snake and lives -to tell the tale, though he admits that he made no attempt to scrape up an ao- quintanc9 with the beast or mon ster. Mr. Barbee is a thoroughly sober man and bears a good repu tation in these parts. Durham Herald. In Saturday's Herald the size of this monster was reduoed to six feet and it may have been less. Parti Stronger Bj Wilson's Firmness. Washington, May 18. The ef- feet of President Wilson's public declaration that there will be no compromise on free wool and free sugar in three years in , the new tariff bill, has been the subject of constant discussion since, the Chief Executive made his pro nounciamento in the presence of assembled newspaper correspond ents last week. Administration leaders declared that the Presi dent's .vigorous assertion has serv ed to strengthen the party line upon the Senate and they point to the vote on the question of publio hearings onfthe tariff bill as an indication of the solidarity of the majority. Before the President came out so Btrongly in the face of the tremendous lobby i ifluence that completely sur rounds the capitol. the legisla tive air was charged with uncer tainty. On every hand was heard the report that the Finance Com mittee was planning to put a duty on wool or to leave sugar at the end of a three-year period with a small tariff. Temples Reported Found is foe Sphinx. ' Repeated reports received in England from Egypt in regard to investigations being made by Prof. G. A. Reisner, of Harvard University, indioate that the head of the Sphinx is the ante, chamber of a great series of temples. A depression in the head of the Sphinx had been observed by many travelers in the last hun dred years, but no systemaeio at tempt at excavation had been made. According to the latest reports, on the removal of the sand and blocks that had been placed across the opening, Pro fessor Reisner found himself in a chamber 60 feet long4 and 14 feet wide, forming a small but com plete temple. This temple,- says the June Popular Mechanics Magazine, in an illustrated artiole, is said to be connected with a second temple at a lower level, and, through a tunnel running down the neck, with a far more spacious temple ccoupymg tne entire body of the Sphinx.

Explanation o His Action to Brian. Sacramento, Cal. May 14. Ex pressing his determination to sign the alien land bill reoently passed by the Legislature, Gov. Hiram W. Johnson of. California today telegraphed to Seoretaryt of State Bryan a long explanation of the action taken by the Legislature. The message was in answer, to the request telegraphed to the Gov ernor by Secretary Bryan at the direction of President Wilson that the bill be vetoed. The Governor's message fol lows i "Hon. William J. Bryan, Secre tary of State, Washington, D. C. "Your very counteous telegram relating to the alien land bill reached me late Sunday night. I take it from our conversations and your request made to with hold Executive action until oppor tunity was accorded for the pre sentations from the Federal Gov ernment, that your message em bodies that it was your wish and the wish of the President to say to us before final action . - "In this response it is my de sign most respectfully to present the situation from our standpoint and the views that actuated onr Legislature in passing the bill and that impel me to sanction it . ' 'For many years a very grave problem, little understood in the East, has confronted California ; a problem the seriousness of which has been recognized by statesmen in oar Nation and has been viewed with apprehension by the people of this State. When the present Constitution i of Cali fornia was adopted more than 80 years ago, it contained the follow ing declaration : " 'The presenc of foreigners ineligible to become citizens of the United States is declared to be dangerous to the well-being of the State and the Legislature shall disoourage their immigration by all means within its power. "Of late years our problem from another angle has become acute and the agitation has been continuous in the past decade in reference to our agricultural lands, until finally affirmative action in an attempted solution beoame imperative. This attempted so lution is found in the aotion of our Legislutnrein the passage of an alien land bill. In the phraseolo gy this bill, in those whom it af fects, its scope and its purpose, we believe we have kept within our legal and our moral rights and that we are doing only what is demanded for the protection and preservation of our State, In this enactment we have kept ever in mind our National good faith as evidenoed by existing treaties and anxiety has been to act in such fashion as would com mend ui to our sister States and would justify us to our fellow countrymen. "Based, first, upon the asser tion that our act is -offensive and discriminatory. The protest to our measure as your telegram states, comes from the representa tive of Japan. The bill that is now before me provides substan tially in its first section that al iens eligible to citizenship under the lws of the United States may acquire real property in the same manner as citezens of the United States and the second section pro vides that all aliens other than those mentioned in the first sec tion may acquire real property in the manner of and to the extent and for the purpose prescribed by any treaty now existing between this Government and the United States and the Nation or country of whioh such aliens are citizens may in addition lease for a period of three years lands for agricul tural purposes. "Thus we have made existing treaties a part of our law and thus we have preseved .every right that any' foreign Nation by internation al contraot has insisted upon pre serving with our National Govern ment.'

An Alabama reader writes as follows: I have a few pigs that I want to feed during the summer, with a view to making them produce the moat amount of meat by November or December. They are about three months old and are doing fairly well at present. 1 can get corn, corn meal or chops at about ninety cents, wheat shqrts at SI .40 per 100 pounds. Pigs have access to good Bermuda pasture, which would keep them in goiod growing con dition alone, but 1 want to push them as an experiment, to see if it would pay on a larger scale. , "In your reply advise whether to feed the above wev or. dry, and which of these feeds to use, and pro portion of each; also amount per pig.?" Answer: The price of all feeds mentioned are high. Cora at ninety cents per bushel is $1 60 per hundred, and it, therefore, follows that wheat shorts at $1.40 a hundred are cheaper, for they are worth fully 10 per cent more than corn, pound for pound, tor feeding these young pigs. Even corn at ninety cents a bushel and tankage at $50 a ton will not furnish nutriments as cheaply aa they are furnished in shorts at $1.40 a hundred. Also cottonseed meal will not be safe for feeding these niflrs for more than three or four weeks, so we are forced to use the wheat shorts, al though they are so high pric ed that it is doubttul it any profit can be made from their use. We would teea trie shorts wet as a thick slop and since heavy feeding is not likely to be profitable we would feed once a day, but while the pigs are less than five months old feeding twice a day may pay. If the Bers muda Dasture is good ana is kept reasonably short so that the grass is young and tens der, we would not feed these pigs over onethird the shorts thev would reauire as a full ration without the grazing. If as stated, the Bermuda grazing alone will keep them in growing condition, which we are inclined to doubt with three months old bigs, then two pounds of shorts per day added for every 100 pounds of the pig's weight . should produce considerable gain in weight. It seems that' best results will probably be obtained by feeding these pigs only enough shorts to keep them growing nicely and plant soy beans or peanuts, or sow peas in the corn and have them ready for grazing by the first or middle of August. If this is done there is a good chance for a profit on , these pigs, but if the feed up to marketing is to be obtained from Bermuda pasture and wheat shorts at $1.40 a hun dred we doubt if there will be much profit. Tait Butler, in The Progressive Farmer. Tne; Meaning of Flies., : ' Cheer up, fly season is here and the summer fight is on in earnest." The man that hasn't his screens up ' by this time eats at the second table to his guest, the manure pile ny. JNo, you may not like to look at it that way, but that is the truth just the same. If you don't like your guests, your fellowboarders, or your table companions, a mighty good thing to do is to put up screens. After the doors and windows are well screened you can easily get rii of the occasional intruder by means of sticky fly paper and fly swatters. In the country a man's flies are of his own household. That is, each householder is largely responsible for his own crop of flies. But in cities the number of flies shows up the board of health. It a Vnrn has few flies they liave a live, r wide-awake board of health, Ybut if flies ire thick you can set it down bat the board of health is isleep, and a town is usual ly just about as dead or as wide-awake as its board of health. The whole thing narrows down, therefore, so that you 1 m . can inage a town oy tne aumber of its flies. Make a renewed effort to fortify your home against the deadly housefly. This is the season of the rear when typhoid fever is becoming prevalent, and the fly, as one of its chief carriers, is corres pondingly more dangerous. During the warm summer weather most flies are con- tent to remain outdoors m-i t A A t garbage cans and filth de posits, but.during the cooler weather they stay in your homes in increasing numbers just when they are most apt to be reeking with the germs of dangerous diseases. - f - ' the Farmer's Biggest Probfem. The biggest problem in the apricultural world is the pro blem of getting and main taining rich land. It over shadows even the big pro blem of rural credits and of co-operative marketing, and must always do so as long as we average our piti ful one-third of a bale of cotton and 15 bushels of corn per acre. The best farmer in the world will find it diffi cult to make money on wash ed way hillsides; while an ignorant negro can make a bale of cotton to the acre by keeping down the weeds on the deep, rich, alluvial lands of the Mississippi Delta. What, then, is the secret of profitable crops? Rich land. Rich land, to be got ten by rotating crops, by growing cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans, peanuts and clovers. I tell you that un less you have a cover crop of crimson clover on every foot of your last year's cotton land you are neglecting your duty to yourself, your land and your community. . Crim son clover is a demonstrated success from Delaware to Texas; one acre of it is equal to ten tons oi stable manure. Can we afford to be without it? Perhaps we may differ with Prof. Massey on some things, but when it comes to crimson clover he is, in the language of William Green Hill, about "the Tightest, man they is." B. L. Moss, in The Progressive Farmer. One of Their Duties. The new duties of oounty at torneys are to ascertain who has a United States license to sell liquor, which would be a great aid to enforcing the liquor laws. But suppose when he asks the col lector of internal revenue and he refuses, what is he to do? They have been known to do this but it may be the law has been changed. Another mighty good way would be to inspect the money order offise at the postoffica and see who is ordering liquor but the post master is not permitted to divulge this. Greensboro Record.

Mr. Klutts is now judge of the Rowan county court. The Land mark has long advocated theea tablishment of recorder's court or a oounty court in Statesville, and in talking with Mr. Klutts asked him about the workings of the Rowan court. Mr. Eluttz, who was reoently elected judge, says the Court has been in existence three years and has proved its worth. Since it was established the court has saved the county about $2,000 annually in jail fees and has paid into the county school fund in fines $3,000 to $4,000 per year. The judge is paid a salary of $100 per month by the county but the costs col lected more than pay the salary. The solicitor is paid by fees and he makes as much or more than the judge, the fees being collected in costs. The court has sivil jurisdiction in cases of contract in amount up to $500 and in cases in tort up to $300. This, says Mr. Kluttz, has been found a great convenience to persons who waut to bring civil actions for small amounts. The court has criminal jurisdiction in all cases below the grade of fel ony.
