TON.:' - 4 K, W VOL. XXXVI NEWTON, N. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 14 1915. NO 48 GOV. CRAIG ACCEPTS TO SPEAK 'resents in Person Biennial Message to Lawmakers, Applause Greets Reference to Child Labor and Legislation to Raise Price of Cotton. UileiKbt Jan, 7, Without hav expressed any wish to read his message to the general as sembly, and what is more, hav ing said he had no desire to do so, both houses invited Governor Craig to present his views in person today and every member ot the state legislature heard him through. The message must have made a better impression than any reading clerk could have given it, though the general assembly has quite an accomplished brace cf declaimers for that purpose. Certainly the 45 minutes spent between noon and adjournment did not hang heavily upon the members who had then worked but slightly more than half an hour in receiving bills.. It was the first time that a governor has read a message in several sessions. Governor Glenn l as done it and other governors tave. Governor Craie cited pre cedent for it in the national Con g ess and thanked the body for the invitation which had not b.en excected. CHILDREN IN MILLS AND COTTON The two paragraphs tha. brought mcst applause were those relating to legislation to raise the pi ice of cotton and to the working of women and chil dren in the mills. The first was directed particularly to the in dependenca of the south, its un willingness to ask legislation unsound economically or financi ally to save a crop which suffers the paralysis that envelopes the warring nations of the world. Ti e second was an eloquent declaration that if the mother fcoxi and childhood in this this land of plenty must be worked to make a livelihood, "our civil zation has fallen down," Governor Craig said even more radical things, however. He ch dared tha the railroads and the people are in peace. The war ended early in his adminis tration. He thought the state had won much in the contest. It established its sovereignty in the gulation of carriers and gain ed reductions in rates that will si ve to the state more than $2,- 0UU.000. it has won the power to compete with Virginia cities and gained reduced rates withtn REVENUE AND TAXATION The revenue for the last two yrars has met all the obligations cf the state. There is a small balance balance in the treasury above all demands. This fact must be gratifying to. this gener al assembly, and to all the people, for it is the first time in many years that this condition has existed. Our revenue system, however, is far from satisfac tory. The 'problem of taxation is always difficult and vital. The government must be economi cally administered. No extra vagrance has existed in this tUte, and none should be toler atdd, but we must provide revenue for all appropriations and necessary expenses. With i he state as with the individual, the elementary rule! of business h to live within your means. North Carolina has ample re sources with which to meet all her obligations. Within the last decade the value of all real property has enormously in- creased, and personal wealth has en multipled We cannot repudiate the obli gations of Christian civilization Now that the land is yielding bountiful harvests, now that the stagnant towns of the last gen v ition have grown into cities of irjcreasing wealth, now that i-.dustry is triumphant, now that uesuny 13 unioiaing to us in urander revelation shall we in this day of our strength not fulfill the duties of a progressive state? We must support our institutions of learning to in creasing their usefulness, We should listen the appeal of the ContederatJ soldier, and to those stricken in mind and body, We must provide for the improye- INVITATION TO THE LEGISLATURE ment of our rural communities and for aggressive rork for the prevention of disease and for the conservation of health. In this new century, when southern ideals have been restored to the union, when southern statesmen haye come again to places of power, when the future beckons to renewed effort and life for ward is the order. PROPERTY NOT ASSESSED, The fault with our fiscal sys tem is that we do not assess our property for taxation. Real es tate and especially unimproved real estate, and real estate held for speculation have been great ly undervalued, and most of the personal property has not been listed at aU. It should be un derstood that the quadrennial assessment will be for the pur pose of lowering the rate of tax ation, and with the determination of securing a more equitable and a more complete listing of taxa ble property. A graduated tax on inheritance should be increas ed and it should be collected. Our citizens do not refuse to return their property for taxa tion because they desire to take advantage of others, but for the reason that they do not desire that other men and other com munities shall take advantage of them and of ther communities. The property has not oetn equally assessed for taxation and for this reason men are actuated by a purpose to under value property, and to refuse to list their solvent credits. They would be willing to submit to a square deal, but desire to protect themselves against inequity. The personal property of the average mai cannot be conceal ed. The securities of the wealthy can be concealed. The average citizen pays hi3 tax, the wealthy often escape. The tax commis sion should be clothed with plen ary powers to enforce the listing of all property for taxation, and to enforce the uniform and just valuation of all property. Every citizen should bear the burdens of governm ent in proportion to his ability. This policy should be carried out with unalterable determination. On a subject related to the finances, I recommend that the general assembly require the state treasurer to give as his surety for the faithful discharge of the duties of his office, a bond executed by one or more surety companies; and that this bond be paid for by the state; that treas urer be allowed to put out at interest all available moneys in his hands. This would yield to the state and income of many thousands of dollars a year. It is clear that the people of the state denand of the general assembly a law IprovidiDg prim- ary elections lor the nomination nf nanrlirlntpa Thia rlomnnrl ia in accord with the spirit of the age, and has already found legal expression in all the states of the union with few exceptions.

This democracy. It gives to the peo pie the legalized machinery that provides the opportunity for every citizen to participate V,a nnmmnl rf na n rii Wo aa ann in the selection of the public servants that must administer the government. Political conventions and party allegiance urge the . citizen vote for the nominee of his par ty. He should have a voice in tneir selection, otherwise, the great majority really has no voice in the administration of public affairs that are of vital interest to all. The means should be provided for the full and free exercise of this right. The pri mary should be established by law, and protected by law, and the criminal law should deal firmly with fraud and corruption Our selectiotions must bure, and our nominations must be by the full and fair expressions of the popular will. Abuses have some times been practiced under sys tems not adopted to present con ditions; these abuses must be eradicated and provided against. The safety of the state demands it. The preservatien of confi dence in popular government demands it. The obligation for this fundamental reform is with this general assembly and with the party now in power. INSURANCE The Jaw regulating fire insu rance should be amended. The rate of insurance 'vhich the peo ple of the sbate must pay and the rules regulating" the insurance business are now fixed by the Southeastern Underwriters as sociation. This monopoly con trols the insurance cf the south. There is no competition, Tne protection from fire of our homes and families, of our property and industry is a necessity. We mut have insurance, and we take this insurance under the present law, from a monopoly ex ercising its powers unrestrained by law. We paid last y eai $3,733, 690,17 in premiums to this mono poly.There was paid to the people of the state in compensation for losses by fire 1.679,280,76, We paid to the companies constitu ting this monopoly more than$2, 000.000 in excess of the amount returned forlosses. xiiis $2,000 000 was not all profit, for the ex pense for operating the business is considerable. The last general assembly ap pointed a committee to investi gate the working of these com- panics are effecting the people com" mittee found that rates are not too high, and that the rules o! insurance are not equitable and just I sena to you the report of this committee. However this may be, this monopoly is a public service concern. The insurance department has beeen ably managed and wisely conducted by the insurance com missioner. He needs more power that he ; may ; serve the people more effectively, and exercise control over this monopoly just as our corporation commission exercises control over the rail roads and the other public ser vice corporations of the State. The individual citizen has not the Dower to deal with it on e(lual terms and to assert his rights. He must accept the terms proposed or be deprieved state alone can deal wltD tnis monoDOjy, and the state will be derelict in her duty if she longer "a puiuiuua tu u insurance rates and tocontroi without supervision the insu- ranee business by their arbitrary and unlimited power.

Wef realized that they are an indis- pensible factor for material pros-' perity and for social advance ment. We are building more highways than ever before, and are expending thereon millions of dollars. It has been estima ted by experts that from 30 to 40 per cent of the money spent on public roads is relatively speak ing, wasted or misdirected. President Wilson at the recent meeting of the American Road Congress in Atlanta said; "As important as the matter of providing additional funds may be for roads, even more im portant are the matters of better road administration and of bet ter maintenance of roads already constructed." ' It is clear,"' con tinued he, "that we are not get ting the results we should have. This general assembly should establish a highway commission composed of experts, or of men who would make a study of this improvement. They should di rect the expenditure of all road money, and they should see thai maitenance gets as much atten tion as construction. Guess at Our Next Governor. I The list of probable candidates for the gubernatorial race in North Carolina is not full yet. One or two more names are men tioned in connection with the Democratic nomination. It wculd not surprise some Tar Heels in Washington to see Judge William R. Allen, now on the State Supreme bench, enter the race for Governor. The name of Gen. Julian S. Carr, the veteran Democratic worker of Durham, was broutrht forward several months ago but recently very little has been paid about it. Josephni Daniels is considered gubernatorial timber. Having been Secretary of the Navy un der Wood row Wilson gives him high rank among North Carolina Democrats. Much depends on what A. W. McLean of Lumber ton does.

He has not yet seen fit to to state his position. Friends of Judge Allen believe that'he could take the nomina tion from most anybody yet men tioned for the race, but they doubt if he will give up what he) has to enter a scramble for the - - " nomination.

Remember tbe ran name W eaver College Students to Rebuild Mitchell Monument, :. Holding a meeting at the main auditorium of the school building yesttrday morning immediately following the service at the chapel, the instructors and students of Weaver college agreed to climb to the 3ummit of Mount Mitchell in a body and to build a monument at the top of the peak to mark the final rest ing plate of the late Professor Elisha Mitchell, the shaft to whose memory recently was destroyed by vandals. A spirit of enthusiasm was in evidence at the meeting regarding the move ment looking to the erection of a new monument at the site of tue old one and it is probable that trie journey to the top of the peak will be made as soon as the weather is such as to permit the beginning of construction work. Details for the rebuilding of the monument have not been worked ot, It was decided at the meet' iug to name Secretaiy N. Back ner, of the local board of trade, to ; receive contributions to the fund and it is expected tbat a sufficient amount will be raised to enable tbe students to begin tb? work, Mitchell abounds in immense boulders and heavy rocks which hate stood the wear aDd tear of time and tbe students regard it as fitting tbat they sbali be usfd ia tbe construction of the shaft. If the sum real zed i of such s;z? as to permit tbe purchase of ot'ier material to be used in con nection with the rocks tnd it is de -.id ad to use some other grade of material with tbe boulders, thi students are willing that su. h material shj.il be put into ic. service. However, as is shwn by the resolutions they feel that the mammoth roc its of the mountain sides could be used to 'excellent advantage in tbe arestion of another monument to te Iht iftace of that wTviofceH beneath a charge of djmmite a short time ago. Regardless of the size of the new monumeat or the material used in its construc tion, it is regarded as assured that the boulders of Mitchekl will form the fouudation for the shaft, Asbeville Citizen.

They had to face there an exasperated enemy and insurmountable difficulties, rocky mountains and field forti f ficatioES blocking the way of ad- .. . i . vance. At last, however, in genuity has discovered a m-jans of dislodging the Servians from their strong positions. Sand filled teer baire's as rolling trenches and mobile protection against the enemy are the latest surprise of the war. The Japanese in their war against Russia carried with them sandbags which advancing in frantrymen pushed before them for protection against the bullets of rifles or machine guns. The beer barrel answers this pur pose much better, as it can be rolled forward with comparative ease and convenience. The "Baba," that is, the Hungarian infantryman, tills tbe barrel with sand," gravel or stones used for road making. Barrels thus filled are impene trable to bullets. The men on the firing line crawl ahead and roll the barrels with their heads. Once at tbe positiion assigned to them they stand the barrels up and fire from behind or between them. This rolling trench proved a signal success in bervia. It not only diminished the losses in dead and wounded but owing to its mobility made quicker pro gress possible. Budapest Dis patch. Bad Cold Quickly Broken Up. Mrs. Martha Wilcox, Gowanda, N. Y. writes: '"I first used Chamberlain's Cousrh Remedy about eight years ago. At that time I had a hard cold and coughed most of the time.

I have told many of my friends of the good I received through using this medicine, and all who have used it speak of it in the hignest terms. Obtainable everj- and wvere Reports Concerning N. C Child Labor Laws Causes Lively Cissh Washington. D. C. Reports concerning child labor in North Carolina ciustd a lively clash between Dr. A. J. McKelway southern secretary of the nation al committee and David Clark, a Charlotte-, N. C. editor, at Wednesday's session of the eleventh annual conference on child labor. Mr. Clark declared tbat until northern states had cleaned up their bar-rooms, gambling and Vice dens and Sunday theaters, they had no right to complain that children under thirteen years of age were permitted to work in cotton mills. "Plainly speaking, it . is none of their business," he said, re ferring to complaints from Mass ac hussetts and New York. He charged reDresentatives of the committee with misrepresent ing facts m the south; declared against national child labor legis lation and urged the delegates to clean up affairs in their home states before taking part in the affairs of others. Dr. McKel way, he saH, had issued pamph lets only half representing the facts. Dr. Kelway replied to Mr. Ciarlr. As to national legisla tion, he said, he had only to quote Mr. Clark's father, Chief .Justice Clark, of the North Car olina Supreme court, who. held child labor legislation constitu tional. The committee, he said, had not exhibited to the public pictures of humanity wrecked by oarly employment, but he said the next generation would have living pictures of the effects. He denied that the committee had disseminated information that four and five-year-old chil dren were employed in North Carolina, but he declared federal -ttivestigatn had sbo w 275: v?r cent, of the mill operators tire violated the law by child em ployment The Gist of It "Last December I had a very severe cokl and was nearly down sick in Led.

Tight Skirt Absolves Company When a woman wears a skirt so tight that it interferes with the free use of her limbs, she cannot maintain an action for damages for personal -injury. Tne skirt, the district judge holds, is contributory negligence. Mrs. Deila Wilson brought suit for $5,000 against the Chica go, Burlington and Quincy Rail road. She alleged that in alight ing from a train, one of her ieet caught and the ankle was broken. The defense alleged that be cause of the height of the heels on her shoes and the tightness of her skirt, she was equally at fault. "How wide was your skirt?" the attorney for the railroad I asked. "Thirty -two inches," she re plied. The j-ary deliberated a few minutes and then returned a verdict "Not entitled to re cover." Kansas City Dispatch Constipation and Indigestion.

Rosary Hill Home, Hawthorne, N.Y "I have been at work among the sick and poor for nearly eighteen years, and whenever I have used Vinol for run down, weak or emaciated patients, they have been visibly benefited by it. One patient, a young woman, was so weak and ill she could hardly creep to my door for aid, and was leaning on a friend's arm. I supplied Vinol to her liberally and in a month when she returned to thank me I hardly recognized her. She was strong, her color charming and her cheeks rounded out.

Never had he crossed the ocean and he hoped he never would. Some how he had a premonition that the sea held some vast secret; whether tragedy or comedy, he knew not, hut he feared to test its power. Now. however, the stress of busi ness forced him either to take a quick trip or lose a great contract. Eellew cursed his race and made hurried preparation for the voyage. There was nothing worse to his es timation than to be literally thrown into an appallingly close proximity to a thousand strange people and to have to eat. sleep pxd spend every hour of the da with those same peo ple. However, all his fears were in a way minimized when the great ship sailed smoothly out and past Sandy Hook. A cursory glance over the people on deck told him that they were a harmless enough looking crowd and not lacking in a variety of attractive girls. Much to his amazement he realized that the soft motion of the boat, the swish of water and the rhythmic chug of the engines gave him a sense of rest such as the noise of the city had never offered him. He went below and sought a typist. The sea-going stenographers were for the moment all engaged, and Bellew was obliged to wait until one was free to take his letters- When finally a cotton broker, came out of the office nearest Bellew he stepped In and gazed blankly at the girl sitting at her typewriter. "Humph! he muttered. "I see now why so much business is done on shipboard. Gee whiz what a beauty!" "Did you say anything? Sally Parker looked straight into Eellew's eyes. "I want to dictate some letters, he said more or less gruffly. "Are you not feeling well?" Sally asked with a peculiarly irritating sweetness. "I am so sorry for people who cant stand the sea. Perhaps if your letters could wait you will feel better tomorrow one day " makes such a difference. will write them now, Bellew said, and Sally put paper in her ma chine without another word.- - The dictating went on smoothly enough, and when the letter was fin ished and , another one started, Bel- After alt bondage to a girl like Sally was going to prove rather interesting. When Liverpool was reached she seemed to disappear with maddening swiftness from the wharf. Bellew cursed his fate, and from the moment he stepped from the gangplank he lived only for the moment when he ttouIJ again step on it. He called him self every kind of a fool for falling headlong in love with a seafaring' stenographer. His business in Liverpool proved a flattering success, and when he again went up the gangplank to board the ship it was with a startlingly weak pair of knees and a heart that beat with painful rapidity. "I would be sorry for myself if love came to me more than once in a life time if this is the way it bowls one over, he told himself with a short laugi. "If that girl won't listen to me it will be all up with yours truly." Sally was at her post in the type writing office and she looked up with a most charming smile when Bellew stood beside her. I want you to take down a letter immediately," he said. "Dear," dictated Bellew, "darling Girl of the Sea" "This letter is rather of a private nature " suggested Sally looking in a very startled fashion at Bellew. "I love you." continued the young man and watched with delight the color that leaped into Sally's cheeks, "If you won't try to return my love I shall jump" T wouldn't do anything desperate," Sally interrupted with a soft laugh. "It delays the trip when lifeboats have to be lowered to fish for people who act foolishly." Tt wouldn't be acting foolishly, Bellew said with more feeling than he thought himself capable of. "Life wouldn't be v.orth a farthing to me if you refuse me Sally please don't re fuse to love me," he pleaded boy ishly. "I did net say I intended to refuse," he told him. "Wonderful thing the ocean." Bel lew murmured. (Copyright. 1314. by the Mt-CIure Newspa per Syndicate.) "Beautiful." "How glad I am." purred the visi tor, "that your daughter has made such an excellent match." Mrs. Strug smiled, in the gratified manner of a successful campaigner.
