Mr. Alderman, I want to ask why pro tect six men and give them the privilege of putting up the price of meat to ab:ut 5,000 people? When it comes to eleating this board are you going to these six to get in or will you come to 600 voters of this town? These men wanted you to cut cut the peddler for fear the con sumer might get a few ceuts off Whioh needs protection most, these six or the 5,000?

Union Declares (or 12 I 2 Cents. The National convention of the Farmer's TJaion, whioh has just adjourned in Liuooln; Nb., went on record in a strong resolution urging all the farmers of the South t) hold cotton for a minimum of 12 1-2 cents, aacording to re ports that have just reached thf oity. President H. Q. Alexauder of the North Carolina division of thd National organization has just returned from this meeting and is highly enthused with tbe action whioh the Natioual body took. He first favored holding for 1$ cents but after discussion and counsel, it was decided to follow the more conservative course -and go on reoord for 12 1 2 cents. D ctor Alexander is coLfident that this price will- be realized if only the farmers of the South will market their staple gradually and depend upon the bankers for loans at a rate of interest not exceeding 6 per cent on warehouse receipts where it ia necessary for pressing obligations to be met. With the short crop and the increasing de mands occasioned by the con sumption for war arrinitious aud other purposes and the course that will certainly be .followed in grad ually marketing the crop, he be lieves that a price of 12 1 2 cents will be res Used at a date not ex cessively distant. Fitttant Kotlfng c d Tals tti Plac? of Parental care. Punishm nt a Necessity. Suteaville Landmark. Remarking on the electrocution of young Trull, the unfortuuate victim of dope, liquor and bad as sociates, who recently paid th penalty demanded by the law of th)se whose bands are stained with the blood of their fellows, ome of our contemporaries, in an evident attempt to make capital against capital punishment, refer to him as a "sick, incompetent nid erratic bey," and seemed dis posed to blame the State and so ciety lor his shortcomings and his taking off. The State and Sooiety have much to answer for but they should not be held responsible for the shortcomings of the individ ual. Coming to the final analy ns, one who is mentally respon sible is responsible for his conduct. A committee of experts found that Trull was sane While he might have been under the influenoe of I qaor when he oommitted mur der, that doesn't excuse him. He probably took liquor or dope to uerre him to do what he hacM planned to do when be was in full possession of all his faculties. He wsb reiponsible for taking th9 liquor and the dope. The State has done its best, and sooiety is helping to keep liquor and d;pe out of the reach of the individual. The faot that this has not been ac complished and probably never will be f ocomplished entirely, is not the fault of the State or of so ciety. It is the wickedness of the human heart; and no condition that oau be oreated by the State or by sooiety, oan make a bad man good if he chooses to be bad. If Trull was properly trained at heme in ohildhood and deliberate ly chose, the path of wickedness, bis was the fault and his end was ot his own choosing. If he was not properly trained the fault was witb his parents, fcr nothiDg tbe State and sooiety can do can take the place of home training. The Landmark would not say a word that would add to the distress and humiiistioQ suffered by Trull's family, but tjfcls afaotpate1it to any ol server, that probably the greatest shortcoming of the age is tbe lack of traiuing in the home. Parents wilfully neglect and shirk the dut:es which the Almighty as signs to thse t" whom He gives children If sorrow and humili ation come to tbe parent by the conduct of the children, in the great majority of oases nearly all, in fact it is a just punish ment, the retributive jurtice which the parent receives for fail ing in duty to the ohild The State and society should help acd the State and 8ooiety are helping, but the disposition is to require all of State and society. That won't do. The greatest ob ligation is in the home, and we confess to little patience with tboss who negleot their dutv there and then, when trouble comes, try to lay the blame on tbe State and society. Auother mischievous error, and one that is doing muah harm, is tbe disposition to excuse the indi vidual for his conduct and to lay the blame on conditions or envi roument the State and society, broadly speaking. The child should be taught and the individ nal made to know, that what one soweth that shall he also reap; that there oan be no sin without suffering and no wrong-doing with out punishment in this life or that which is to come; in short, that if one persists in sin he will be, and should be, punished in this world for his wiokeduesi aud that hell awaits him iu the next. tiinoe the preaahers have quit talkiug about eternal punishment for sin, there has grown up an idea that uobody should be punish ed for anything; aud this very idaa, so gUbly proclaimed, is in creasing violations of the lav. The vicious and depraved are only concerned about punishment. If they think they can esoape the peualty for wrong-doing they will follow their inclinations more readily; aud the sentimentalism whioh undertakes to excuse almost every phase of crim9 and plaoe the responsibility elsewhere tbau on the individual, where it belongs, is Anoouragiug orime. It is well to talk about meroy and forgiveness. Inese attributes are diviue. There should be pa tience and long-suffering and meroy, but He who spake as never man spake, who was the personifi cation of meroy, also gave the solemn assurance that the wioked Coir.!

That the Hesperian was noteunk by a German submarine, and that indications are that she struck a mine, is Germany's contention in a note banded to the Amerioan Ambassador iu Berlin.

Riga, for the time being, is left unthieaten ed by direot attack, but should von Hindenburg sucoeed in gettiug effectively astride the Petrograd Railway, further south, it would oxpose th) Baltic port to a serious envelopiug movement.

High Rock's Earthquake Degensrates into Landslide. High Poiut, Sept 3. Tbe dis turbance in the earth s crust at High Rock, which has oreattd quite a stir among the hundreds of people Jrom several counties who have viewed it, was merely a landslide, according to those who have carefully examined the ground , The change in the earth's surface was noticed when oasual passersby noted that there were depressions where formerly there were mounds, and vica versa. Some of the depresions were 10 feet deep, while there were corres ponding upheavals. The affeoted ground was uearty two acres in area, and was on the side of Heal ing Springs Mountain. At firs there were many theories as to he unusual actions of Mother Earth, many ascribing them to collections of gas whioh rearrang ed the earth, thereabouts. The most generally aocepled thecry now is that the wholo thing was oaused by a landslide, similsr to those experienced in the Panama Canal, whioh was started by a violent explosion srxch as blasting a 1 C iLI 5 T-k i v on tne ooutnoouna ttaurraa or maybe by a heavy charge of eleb tricty in the foim of a bolt o lightning.
