Tte Chatham tcati M. A. LONDON, Kdilor. WEDNESDAY. MAY 21. 1913. At a meeting: last Wednesday at Raleigh of nearly 4?0 mer chants, manufacturers and ship pers an organization to be known as the North Carolina Just Freight Rate Association was formed. Mr. Fred. N. Tate, of High Point, being chosen presi dent and a full complement of necessary officers elected. The association has for its object the removal of the unjust discrimina tions in ireight rates now in force against North Carolina towns and cities in favor of Vir ginia cities. The intricate sub ject of freight rates is one that calls for and demands the best thought and attention of all the people at this time- It is hoped that a satisfactory solution of the matter may be shortly reached between the shippers and the railroads. The captions of the acts of the last Legislature are at last print ed and have been distributed. They make a pamphlet of 350 pages, which is about as large a book as the laws themselves used to make. There are 1,527 acts and 60 resolutions, the great bulk of w"hich were passed during the closing days of the session. Two years ago there were 1,460 acts and 55 resolutions. Following the precedent set two years ago, the laws this year will be printed in three volumes. One volume will be devoted to strictly public laws of Statewide application, another to public lo cal laws and a third to private laws. It is hoped that these will shortly appear so that laymen, lawyers and legislators, too, may know what new laws were made and old laws repealed or amend ed by the last Legislature. what is probably the most notable gathering in one city of Presbyterians that has ever ta ken place in this country has just come to a close in Atlanta, Geor gia. There assembled there last week 1,500 commissioners or del egates representing the Northern Presbyterian body, the Southern Presbyterians and the United Presbyterians. Each of the Gen eral Assemblies of these bodies held separate meetings with dif ferent moderators, but all by meeting in the same city at the same time were thrown in close communication with each other. The Associate Reformed synod, representing, a smaller body of Presbyterians than the other three named above, also met in Atlanta. While it is not prob able that a "mechanical organic union" will just at this time be affected by these bodies, which were split asunder largely on sectional grounds just before the War Between the States, yet a spirit of sympathy and co-operation will doubtless be aroused and such steps taken as will make toward a closer union between these religious bodies.' TxTE sixty-seventh annual con vention of the Southern Baptists has been in session the past week in St. Louis, being one of the largest attended and most inter esting meetings of that influen tial body of Christians. Rev. Dr. Edwin C. Dargan, of Macon.Ga., was re-elected president of the convention. Three sessions were held each day, the convention coming to a close at last Monday night's session. Statistical re ports showed that Texas lead all the States in the convention in the amount of money contributed to both home and foreign mis sions, giving $71, 000 to home mis sions and $86,000 to foreign mis sions. Optimism . characterized the annual report of th'e foreign mission board and Baptists were declared to be awake to the great opportunities before them in the home land Til . 1 j-iie nome missmn is hnr r0m w ----- year's work free from dent nnri 1 from dent anH ?."l?Ie,a Wa? m.ade.in the icpun lur uenominational ova. ty.

The action of Gov. Johnson, of California, in his determination to sign the alien land bill recent ly passed by the Legislature of that State over the protest of President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan, will probably carry the matter to the Supreme Court of the United States for that body to pass on the constitution ality of the act. While Viscount Chinda, the Japanese Minister to this country, frankly admits that the act is not in violation of the present Japanese-American treaty, yet he insists that it is a direct insult to the national hon or of Japan in forbidding his fellow-countrymen to own land in California. While we cannot but feel some sympathy for, the Cal ifornians in their views, yet it is such a big question, involving the entire country, that we feel that it is a matter for national regulation and settlement rather than for the settlement by a sin gle State. The New York World has very clearly set forth its views on the situation in the fol lowing able editorial: "In the light of the President's unofficial statement the action of Calitornia relative to the Japan ese is as much an affront to the United States as it is to a friend ly foreign power. There is noth-. ing in the small and decreasing Japanese population of Califor nia that calls for hasty action. There is even less reason for hos tile legislation in the circumstance that Japanese happen to own one twelfth of 1 per cent of the land embraced in the State. "The administration at Wash ington has asked of California nothing that its people in good conscience could not easily have yielded. As the only power capable of dealing with the question" conclusively, the national government has pro tested against local lawmak ing which was not needed and which could result only in com plications as troublesome as they are unnecessary. In refusing to consider the larger interests and responsibilities of the Republic, California, even though now re cognizing a treaty which it was ignoring and overriding before. has revealed a disposition toward the other States almost as hostile as was shown anywhere at any time during the genesis of the secession movement. "It i3 plain enough now that the patriotism, patience and cour tesy of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan -xere wasted upon California. They attempt ed to serve that commonwealth as well as the nation. They as sumed that they were address ing a self-respecting member of the Union. They have discover ed that their appeal was to the Sand Lots and a demagogue in the person of Hiram Johnson who cared as little for the honor of the United States as he did for the sensibilities of Japan. Uur international relations are determined at Washington. The treaty-making power is at Wash ington. The authoritv which is able to uphold treaties when made is at Washington. In the end California will be bound by what takes place at Washington. Since it chooses to stand upon an extreme assertion of its ricrhts. California may presently discov er that those rights, so far as Orientals are concerned. have been emphatically narrowed." The first successful flight from the United States to Cuba over the Gulf of Mexico was made last Saturday morning by Domin go Rosillo, a Cuban aviator. The Cuban government had offered a prize of $10,000 to the first avia tor accomplishing the flight. Ro sillo made the flight from Kev West to Havana in two hours and a halt and, despite the fact that a gale was blowing and un favorable weather conditions i . I made the flight exceedingly haz ardous, he reached his deatina- ion without the slightest mishap. well illustrating the proverb, "a fool for luck." Indeed such rap id progress in recent years has been made in the navigation of the air that it is hard Tto predict to what limits of success aerial navigation will yet reach.

Lake Junaluska is the name by which the Southern Railway sta tion, three miles east of Waynes ville, formerly called Tuscola, the station for the .Southern As sembly grounds, will- hereafter be known and at this point a commodious passenger station is being erected by the Southern Railway. It will be completed by June 1st. The Southern Assembly, a church wide movement of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, and affiliated organiza tions, has purchased a tract o 1,200 acres and has constructed a lake which will have an area of 252 acres, an auditorium with a seating capacity of 4,500. a ho tel with 125 rooms, and nine miles of graded driveways. It is expected that many private residences will also bk built on the property. The purpose of the developement is to provide a meeting place for Methodist con ventions and kindred bodies and a large number of people will doubtless visit this point each season. " The new passenger station which the Southern Railway is erecting will provide ample facil ities and will have all modern conveniences, an arrangement having been made to secure wa ter from the Assembly's plant. A paved (Jriveway, a track for storing equipment used in excur sions, and a small freight depot are also included in the improve ment. Contract for the con struction of the passenger sta tion has been let to the Melton Construction Co., of Greensboro, N. C. The other work will be done by the Southern Railway forces.

The production of anthracite coal in Pennsylvania in 1912 was 75,310,049 Ion in tons, valued at the mines at $177,767,054, an av erage price of $2.36 a ton, ac cording ta figures just compiled oy Edward W. Parker, coal stat istician of the United States Ge ological Survey. This is a small er production than in 1911 by 5, 461,439 tons, but the value is greater by $2,814,619. The small er production in 1912 was due entirely to the suspension of min ing operations during April and part of May. Except for this the year's output would probably have been a record breaker. The shortage created by the suspen sion is estimated by Mr. Parker at about 10.500,000 tons. The new agreement reached with the miners provided for an advance of 10 per cent on all wages over and above those established by the original strike CDmmission and for the abolition of the slid ing scale. To meet this,advance and other expenses the operators advanced the prices of prepared sizes of coal 25 cents a ton, with the exception of" chestnut coal, which had been advanced the previous year. The average price at the mines for anthracite in 1912, as shown by the returns to the Geological Survey, was $2.36 a long ton, compared with $2-17 in 1911, $2.- 12 in 1910, $1.06 in 1909, and $2 - 13 in 1908. The previous highest average price for anthracite in recent years was in 1903, when it was $2-28 a long ton. An interesting feature of Mr. Parker's statement is that there is at the present time a market for almost any grade of coal that will burn. Rheumatism Quickly Cured. "My sister's husband had an attack of rheumatism in his arm," writes a well known resident of Newton, Iowa. "I gave him a bottle of Chamberlain's Liniment which he applied to his arm and on the next morning the rheuma tism was gone." For chronic muscu lar rheumatism you will find nothing better than Chamberlain's Liniment. Sold by all dealers, advt Sanford Express: The Pres byterian church building here is for sale. The Presbyterians are preparing to erect a $15,000 brick church that will be in keeping with the town and supply the needs of the congregation We are informed by Rev. C. L. Bragaw that the McCormicks, of Harnett county, have a scabbard buckle which was found on the battlefield of Culloden and brought to America when this section was first settled by the Scotch. They also have an ac count book of a ship that brought over several hundred people from Scotland. Why Use L. & M. Semi-Mixed Real Paint. Because it's economical. Be cause it is pure white lead, zinc and linseed oil. Because it's the highest grade quality paint that can be made. Because when the user adds 3 quarts of oil to each 1 gallon of the L. & M. Semi Mixed Real Paint, it makes U gallons of pure paint at a cost of about $1.40 per gallon. This saves the user about 60 cents a gallon on all the paint used. The L. & M. is and has always been the highest grade and most perfect paint produced. Sold by W. L. London & Son.
