THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS Several members of the plat form committee of the recent State Democratic convention and Mr Cameron Morrison, who was chairman of the platform com mittee, are conducting a very interesting discussion in the State pareis as to why the plat form did not mention the consti tut'onal amendments. Mr. A L Brooks contends that th3 omis sion to endorse the amendments will put Democratic campaigners in an embarrassing position, Mr, Morrison rep ies that these amendments are ot a non-partisan nature and havt no place in a party platform which should aUajs be confined to the funda mental principles of the party. We confess to some disappoint ment out self over the omission, but there is much sound sense in Mr. Morr.son's position. The amendments had the backing in the Lejis ature of the Democrats a d Republicans a'ike, and both parties were represented on the committee that drafted them Rut thev are so important thst we wou.d like to have seen them endorsed in the platforms of both parties. The old plan of assessing property and collecting taxes is so deficient and unfair that progress is barred in the State and burdens are unequa'ly divided. The amendment to change oar revenue system so that the State can get sufficient revenue to meet the increasing needs for pub'ie institutions without going in debt and issu ing bonds or increasing taxes cn n-ai and personal property is so pressing that it should be put before the voters in the campaign in its strongest form I spi!e of the omission of the amend ments irom the platform, we hope that every Democratic campaigner and every Democratic raper and we would be glad if Republicans do the- same wi l make them the paramount issue in the coming election. THE TOLL EXEMPTION BIIL PASSED, The l ill to repeal the exemp ti n from to Is granted by ti t preceding Congress to United States coastwise freight steam ers in passing through the Panama canal, passed the Senate last Friday night. The vote was 50 to 35. Senator Simmons represented President Wilscn in the long fight and had charge of the bill. Like every other work that Kenator Simmons under takes, it was done thoroughly, and the President is greailj pleased over the handsome majority the biil received. The fight was even more stubborn and tenacious than wa encountered bySenator Simmons when he was putting the tarifi biil through the Senate. E'even Democrats opposed the bill and these votes had to be offset with acquisitions from the Mepublican side. When the yote was taker thirteen Republicans voted fcr the bi;l. this bill places the United States in a much better position before the world. The treatj agreerr ent that the canal would be at t-he service in a commercial way on equal terms of all coun tries has been made good and the Democratic position against subsidies has been vindicated. Another mile post in the pro gramme of President Wilson has been passed. - Clear Weather This Week. Washingtou, June 14 -Gen e-aii.v fair weather is predicted for tbe coming-week though it will be unsettled the first day or two from the Missouri valley p-sWard to the Atlantic coast.

Senator Overman is pressing a bill he recently introduced for an appropriation for $25,000 to build a monument in Raleigb to Sir Walter Raleigh, for whom our Stake capital was named. Out of 81 applicants for licen ses before the State Pharmacy Board last week only 35 passed. Four persons were killed by lightning in Mecklenburg coun ty last Friday afternoon, two ladies and two children. They were sitting on the front porch during the rain when lightening struck one of tbe porch posts. Other persons inide the house were not hurt. United States Infantry and Cavalry have been ordered to Asbeviile to take part in the military instruction camp which will be opened there July 6ih. Six persons were killed by lightning in a London park Sunday. Addai E. Steyenson died at his Illinois home Sunday. He tirst came into general promi nence in 1885 as the First As sistant Pcstmaster General in Cleveland's first term. On ac count of the rapidity with which he appointed Democrats to suc ceed Repnblicans in the post offices, he was given the title of Chief Headsman of the ad minis tration. In 1892 he was elected Vice President when Cleveland came back for the second term. His father was a native of Ire dell county an4 he paid several visits during his prominence in Washington to North Carolina to visit his kinsiolK ana mane public addresses. Candidates for Congress this year haye found expenses very heavy, They are required to file reports. In the tenth dis trict Mr. R. R- Reynolds spent $2794, Congressman Gudger 52,502. And they have to run the race over. In this district Mr. Preston spent $2,000 and CengressmansWebb $1300. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo announces that he is again prepared to place money in tne banks to assist in tne handling of the crops, a plan tfbich proved so much benefit to the cotton farmers last fall, The oig wheat crop in the West is he occasion for the present tender of treasury funds. The mediation over Mexican iff airs is deadlocked at Niagara b'a'ls this week. This is over ihe selection of the man to be provisional president, pending tne election. The United States commissioners insist on a man in ympathv with the Constitution tiists, as they have uirtually von the tight against Huerta. roe Mexican representatives in-iit on a neutral, but such a man can hardly be found. A number of . names have been Ufe'gested but all have been i ejected. The Mexicans yielded uu the point that threatened the success of mediation last wesk. tiuerta will not oe allowed to aopoint the successor selected oy the conference, and a proto col to this effect has been signed. The. present deadlock is much more serious than the first. Friday's Conference May Be Last. Niagra Falls, Ont., June 16 -Justice Lamar and Frederick W, Lebmann, the American Dele Kites to the mediation confer ence, went to Buffalo today and talked for fonr hours with Ra fael Zubaran and Luis Cabrera, personal representatives of General Carranza. Their pur Dose was to find some way to briDc the constitutionalists, in harmony with the scope of mediation. The mission was a failure. The constitutionalist represen tatives who; had come from Washington specially to see th American delegates, told them why they could not agree to an wujr uui, a maapromi- ucuu iu mt. osuiuiionaiist ranks could be accepted by them for the porvisiona! presidency and finally they stid they be lieved the constitutionalist army would settle theMexican problem soon it left unhampered by for eign complications, ine Americans returned to Niagra Falls feslinthat so far as the political pacification of Mexico is concerned mediation bad accomplished nothing, and probably the end of the confer encts was very near. The next full conference is set for Friday. Until then little will be done because of the ab sence of Minister Naon, of Argentina, Most of the DrinrJnalia hcra incline to the view that Friday's sessieo may he last Lookout Shoa S The erection of the machinery with which the dam at Lookout Shoals is to be built is rapidly lrogressing, and it is expected that the work will be under full headway by August 1. Mr. L. B. Nichols, who will have charge of building the coffer dams, arrived Friday of fast week, and assumed his duties Monday morning. Mr. B. H. Hardaway, who has the contract for this work was a week-end visitor at the camp. Mr. C. H. Watson, the general arid popular manager of the commissary department, nas moved into the new and commo dious store building, and has been busy all this week arrang ing a $15,000 stock of goods that will be exclusively required to supply the needs of our camp. Mr. Joe Hobson, who will have charge of tha machine shops, bas arrived and will assume his work at once. Tne air-compressinsr plant, which will furnish power for operating the machinery, is rapidly nearing completion, and is one of the best of the tempo rary kind ic the South, This department will be in charge of Mr. W. H, Ciiue of Whitney, N. C. Mr. Edward B:itt, foreman, has co n uleted the erection of two of the huge stee! derricks to be used on ihe work, ni will erect more as the work progres- es. Tnis is a very important pari of construction equipment and no better man cou'd have ber n chost- n for such hazardous work tHn Mr. Brut Mr, F.-F. Pre, affectionately known to the boys as daddy will have charge of the entire force of engine ers and mechanic. He is a veteran in his I ce having been with this company for the past twt 1 vre years. Capt. W. I. Diilard of Lynch burg, Va, has charge of the quarries ar.d is well q laMiad to fiil the position, haying been in that line for thirty years past. Mr. R. L. Pearson, who is General Superintendent is so well known in the South that comment is hardly necessary. The most notable of the plants that Mr. Pearson has pushed to completion is the one at Ta!lu lah, Falls, Ga, Oa account of the topographical situation at Tallulah Falls this was the mot difficult piece of H vdro-Eject ric construction ever attmptfd in the South, and will be a perpet ual monument to his ability as a leader of men, and the success with which he made the.plans of the engineers a realitv. Busi ness from the word go, a fine judge of human nature, ever ready to light a wrong, equally as attentive to the grievance of any employee, from waterboy to walking boss, be commands tbe respect and admiration ot his emplojees, and as a consequence has the best skiiled labor in the country, always at his command. It is indeed a He-culem task to successfully complete such an undertaking, and this quiet un assuming man will be found ready and able to meet every contingency that may arise. Buman.
