Ths Chatham Record. H. A. LONDON, Editor. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 3, 1914. The Mexican situation remains practically unchanged, but we are pleased to note that it is now thought the mediators may be able to accomplish something. Gen. Carranza, the rebel chief, is now willing to be represented at the peace conference but seems unwilling to stop fighting during the negotiations, and the media tors are unwilling to allow his representative to enter the con ference unless an armistice is agreed to. Our government is urging the mediators to allow Carranza to take part in the con ference, for unless the rebels are a party to it there seems to be no prospect for a permanent settle ment. It is to be regretted that the German steamer has succeeded in landing the arms and muni tions for Huerta at another port, and this may enable him to pro long his struggle. Vera Cruz was occupied by our forces in or der to prevent the landing of these arms at that place, and yet they are landed elsewhere and Huerta has them after all. Another notable illustration of the friendly feeling now ex isting between Confederate and Union veterans was exhibited last Saturday at Raleigh, the Capital of this state. That day is known throughout the United States as Decoration Day, when every year the graves of Union soldiers are decorated and memorial services held, At those services last Saturday at Raleigh both Confederate and Union veteran were present, the music was furnished by the old Con federate drum corps, and the orator of the occasion was a Southern Democratic state of ficial. Tobacco must not be used by ministers, candidates for the ministry and other officials of the Presbyterian church, if they obey the resolution adopted last week at Kansas City by the General Assembly of the Pres byterian Church. That resoln tion opposed the use of tobacco by ministers, candidates for the ministry arid church officials. We wonder if this resolution will be generally obeyed? This re solution of the Presbyterians coming so soon after the Metho dist General Conference had adopted a similar one would in dicate that the churches are getting together on the use of tobacco just as they have on the use of whiskey. The sinking of another steam ship and the drowning of over one thousand persons shocked the civilized world and brought grief to t)ie people of two conti nents, almost equal to the sink ing of the Titanic in April, 1912. About 2 o'clock on last Thursday night the Canadian steamship Empress of Ireland was sunk in the St. Lawrence river within fifteen minutes after being struck by another ship and almost cut in two. So quickly did the ship sink after being struck that the pas sengers, all of whom were asleep, did not have time to escape, and 1032 were drowned and only 355 were saved. No one can conceive or imag ine the terror and horror of such si disaster. Here were over one thousand human beings sudden ly aroused from their peaceful slumbers and within a few min utes hurried to a watery grave! The election of Dr. Edward K. Graham as president of the University of North Carolina is a most deserved honor to a most worthy son of our state, who has attained that high position through no political influence but solely by ar.d tl r ugh his merits. A year ago he w; s elected as acting president dur ing the twelve months leave of absence given to Dr. Venable, and so well and acceptably has he discharged ths duties devolv ed upon him that he was elected last night permament president, as Dr. Venable has been compell ed to resign on account of his continued bad health. Our University has never ru.d a more cap?.blf ronciontiot s and popular president than' Dr. I Venable, an J while all friends of 'the University greatly" regret j that he finds it necessary to r -isign, yet all must admit that I the University is fortunate in 'having Dr. Graham as his successor. Dr. Graham may be well termed one of our North Carolina home-made boys, born, reared and educated here in our good old state, and is a fire specimen of the new generation. The Republicans ' are trying to get together the discordant ele ments of their party in this state and make a united campaign this year in an effort to elect more members of the legislature and two or three Representatives in Congress. At a meeting of the Republican state executive com mittee, held at Greensboro, on the 26th of - last month, Messrs E. Carl Duncan and John M. Morehead were appointed a com mittee to ascertain if such a union might not be effected. Accord ingly they have written a letter to Hon. Z- V. Walser, the chairman of the Progressive state execu tive committee, and to Hon. Charles H. Cowles. the chairman of the Roosevelt Republican state executive committee, asking them if it would be agreeable to have a joint meeting of the three committees in order to ' 'ascertain if there cannot be devised ways and means for the re-amalgamation of the discordant elements of the Republican party." Of course they will get togeth er, for the main reason of the rupture two years ag in this state was the opposition to Pres ident Taft personally, and no po litical principle was involved. Laborers to the number of twelve to fifteen thousand men are needed for the wheat harvest in Oklahoma, to whom $2.50' a day and board will be paid, and eighty-five per cent of those thus employed will be given employ ment after the wheat harvest in handling the various forage crops of Oklahoma, thereby guarantee ing from four to six months steady work. This announce ment is officially made by the State Labor Commissioner of Oklahoma. UNUSUAL WAR INCIDENT. The opening prayer at the un veiling of the monument to the North Carolina women of the Confederacy next Wednesday at Raleigh will be made by Rev. E. A. Osborne, an Episcopal clergy man at Charlotte, who was the last colonel of the fourth North Carolina regiment in the War pe tween the States. This soldier of the Cross, who for more tnan forty years has been devotirg his life to saving souls, was one of the bravest soldiers in the Confederate army and was the hero of an incident that has never been published and was most unusual. At the battle of Seven Pines, on the 31st of May, 1862, he was severely wounded and left on the battle field and yet captured an armed federal soldier and made him bring him off the field. The facts of this remarkable capture are as follows. At the battle of Seven Pines, near Rich mond, Col. Osborne was captain of Company H. in the 4th regi ment, and while in front of his company calling on his men to follow him in charging a federal battery he was shot in the thich and fell helpless. His company and the remainder of the regi-' ment continued the charge, car. -tured the battery, and followed the retreating enemy some dis tance. After our men had pass ed on Captain Osborne remained lying on the ground where he had fallen, his wound nrpvpn tin o - him from getting up on his feet. ' I While lying there he saw a stray federal soldier, armed with a musket, approaching the spot where ne was lying. He pulled rTTf l,i'- v,it, u: out lus revolver and his first im-1 pulse was to shoot the soldier, but fortunately a better idea oc curred to him, and he determin ed to make the soldier carry him back to our lines. Accordingly he "got the drop" on the soldier, who was not expecting to find a uve armed Confederate among the dead lying on the field, and assertea tnaj tne Army was ;n 4. -j. j terested in it. As a matter of in a tone of authority command- fact the Army was m more in- ed the man to "halt", which he terested then than lha Depart promptly did, and then threw ment of Agriculture ia now. down his gun when commanded to do that. There they were on the battle field, the unarmed federal soldier and the wounded Confederate with a drawn pistol. Captain 03borne then ordered the soldier to advance and take him off the battlefield, and this order was promptly obeyed. Captain Os borne kept his pistol in his right hand cocked and ready to shoot, and made his prisoner raise him up and carry him a few hundred yards to the rear, where they met some of our men, who took charge of the wounded captor and his prisoner. While going to the rear Captain Osborne in quired of his prisoner his name and command, who told him that his. name was James Dye of the 100th New York regiment. Wonder if the latter is still liv- mg When any of our readers see and hear Chaplain Osborne pray ing at the unveiling next Wed-1 nesday they can hardly realize ! that fifty-two years ago he was ! 1 t LI.

The regulations for the carry ing out of the so-called "net- weight law", which compels manufacturers to make a clear statement of the weight, volume, or contents of their packages of food, were signed May 11 by the Secretaries of the Treasury, Agriculture, and Commerce. These regulations apply to foods shipped in interstate commerce or sold in the Dislrict of Co lumbia or the Territories. The regulations as signed become effective at once,- although the law. passed March 3. 1913, as an amendment to the food and drugs act, defers the exacting of penalties for violations until Sep tember 3, 1914. The regulations, in general, require that the manufacturer of foods shall plainly mark all pack ages, bottles, or other containers holding more than 2 ounces avoirdupois, or more than 1 fluid ounce, to show the net weight or volume of the contents. The measure must be stated in avoir dupois pounds and ounces. United States gallons, quarts, pints, or fluid ounces, United States standard bushels, half bushels, pecks, quarts, pints, or half pints. The contents by a like method may be expressed in terms of metric weight or measure. The volume of liquids must be computed at 68 degrees ! F. j The quantity stated on the'i container must represent the actual quantity of food exclusive of wrappings and container. . Coughs and Colds Wealcen the System.

Trying To Delude Farmers. Washington, D. C. May 30. Evidence of what appears to be a well organized campaign to de lude farmers throughout the country into buying an alleged cure for hog cholera, under the impression that this has been investigated and approved by the United States Government, has reached the Department of Agri culture. Articles praising this medicine, Benetol by name, are being sent out widespread to newspapers. These articles are so worded that it appears as if the Department of Agriculture hai received reports from the state of Minnesota showing that the medicine had proved most beneficial. As a matter of fact the one report received by the Deoartment was an unofficial and unsolicited statement sent presumably from the promoters themselves. The Department attaches no importance whateo- ver to this stitement. It has no reason to believe in the ef i i ii ficiency of any proprietary cure for .hog cholera and does not re ommend any. Under certain conditions it urges farmers to protect their stock with anti-hog- :Cii"it:rti serum uui Limt is an.
