July 6. A. C. Huneycutt 0f Albemarle, publisher of The Stanly News-Herald, of that place, and The Montgomery, of Troy, was in the city today and closed a trade with hte Enterprise Publishing company, where by he becomes owner of The Mocks ville Enterprise, a weekly newspaper of this pi:u-. The new owner expects to continue the publication of the Enterprise as a weekly and as a strictly democratic paper. He is now negotiating with J. C. Sells, publisher of The Cooleemee Jo urnal, with a view to consolidating The Mocksville Enterprise and The Cooleemee Journal. If this arrange ment is consummated, the paper as consolidated will possibly be known as The Mocksville Times-Journal, the "Times" having been the name of the old paper here, of which The Enter prise is successor. This arrange ment would give the new paper a large circulation to begin with, since it then would have the combined cir culation of both The Cooleemee Jour nal and the Mocksville Enterprise. It is said that the new owner will make rather extensive improvements in the paper in various ways. LA FOLLETTE OPPOSED TO SENDING TOOPS TO MEXICO Makes Position Plain in Reply ing to Negro's Request to Be Named Magistrate. THINKS IT FOR THE BEST Washington, July 6. A resolution protesting against the possible use of American armed forces in the Ameri can oil fields and requesting the Pres ident, if compatible with the public in terest, to transmit immediately to the senate all documents and other infor mation relating to the present situa tion in Mexico, especially as involv ing any orders to naval officers, was introduced today by Senator La Fol lette, Republican, Wisconsin.

GERMAN SUPREME COURT ACQUITS GENERAL STENGER Raleigh, July 6. Notaries public and justices of the peace appointed during the next four years will all be white men and women, Governor Mor rison having settled this with anybo dy desirous of knowing soon after his inauguration in January. Letters of a Lenoir County negro, C. F. Dunn, to the governor brought the matter into the papers. Dunn as ked for his appointment soon after the governor came to Raleigh to re main four years, but his request was denied, Governor Morrison making it plain that he did nof intend to break the rule which he had made not to appoint any member of the negro race os a notary or justice of the peace. The fact that former Governor T. W. Bickett had appointes negroes to these places was commented upon by the negroes who applied to Governor Morrison for their commissions. But Governor Morrison thinks the places can best be filled by men and women of his own race. "I have the kindest feeling toward your race," the governor wrote a ne gro who was desirous of becoming a magiatrate, "and hope to be able dur ing my term of offire to better their condition in many ways." But the notaries and justices will not be named from the negro race. RIGID ECONOMY IN NAVAL SER VICE BEING PRACTICED. Leipzig, July 6. Lieut. Gen.

The statement was greeted with loud applause by the distinguished company which attended a dinner in honor of General Smuts by the South African colony in London. General Smuts opened his speech by declaring that he had not abandon ed hope of America. "She is a coy maiden and must be wooed too warm ly." He said, "I want to 6ee America pull with us in this great world ser vice that today is being rendered by the British empire almost alone." Then alluding humorously to his visit to Ireland he declared he found the people "divided into two classes those in jail and those on the run." The Irish problem, said General Smuts, was one largely engaging "the whole British empire." It was a problem, however, on which he could not speak tonight, except to express the belief that it was soluble, and that if there wag a better amosphere, "If we all help, to create a better atmos phere, and are determined to wipe out what is really a stain on the re cord of the empire, we shall succeed in our undertaking." "If ever this problem of the subjec tion of one people to another presen ted a hopeless view, it was in South Africa. But finally in a spirit of give and take, forbearance and trying to render something to the point of view of the other side, we solved the problem, and today South Africa is one of the happiest countries in the empire. Our forbearance and self sacrifice have paid us handsome divi dends in our national life." - BADIN CELEBRATES IN GREAT STYLE New York, June 6.

Probably 100 North Carolina barristers had arriv ed in Charlotte last night for the opening session of the 23d annual con vention, which will be in meeting here through Thursday, with about as many more expected during last night and early this morning. "This is not a time to impose sev- ering the tariff bill eral billion dollars new liabilities on an already overburdened treasury," the treasury secretary said to Sena tor Frelinghuysen, Republican, New Jersey, in a letter which was read in the senate when the bonus bill was called up. The bill has already passed the house 'and the letter was in re sponse to a request from the senator for a statement of the financial obliga tions which the bill would place upon the government. The letter was characterized by Se nator Underwood, Democratic leader, who after its reading made an at tack on the bill, as "strong, forceful and to the point." In passing the bill the Alabama senator said, the Repub lican majority would "write in the country's history that men no longer sacrifice but measure their services in dollars' Replying, briefly, Senator McCumber, Republican, North Da kota, in charge of the bill, denied that any attempt was being made to mea. sure the services of soldiers of the world war in dollars. Mr. Mellon estimated that the bill would cost the country between a bil lion and a half and five and a quarter billion dollars, that it would "swell the cost of government and virtually defeat the administration's program of retrenchment and economy," and that it would block all refunding op erations on the national debt and de press further the price of liberty bonds. These, he said, would be "in evitably direct financial consequenc es," adding that probable indirect re sult would be grave danger of renew ed inflation, increased commodity pri ces, and unsettled business conditions. All of his estimates, the secretary explained, were devoted to the cash payment sections of the bill, and took 'no account of the expenses of admin istration or possible cost of affording vocational training, farm or home aid, or land settlement to veterans who elect such benefits." I should be derelict in my duty to the country and to the veterans them, j selves if I failed to give this warning of the inevitable financial consequen ces of the pending bill," he continued. would London, July 6. Great Britain, France and Italy may be compelled to adopt extensive and concerted meas ures against the Turkish nationalists, it is declared by a number of London newspapers this morning.

Members of the state highway commission arriving in Raleigh tonight, and formidable dele gations to appear before them, give promise of the first display of fire works tomorrow since the state start ed out to build fifty millions worth of roads. engineer for Thomas A. Edison claims may be developed to hurl a projectile of five tons from two to three hun dred miles. Its velocity, he declared, ranges from one to five miles a sec ond. The noise it made at a demon stration yesterday sounded much like the click of a cash register, although only a minature weapon with an eight inch barrel was used. Its projectile may be stopped in a sheet of steel with the precision of a trolley car. The invention of the property of John Temple, an Englishman, who developed the gun in this country. The demonstration held in the pres ence of scientists and newspaper men was curiously enough, held in Dr. Hut chinson's offices on the fifty-first floor of the Woolworth building. The test ing ground consisted of a box of sand on the floor of the office, over which was placed a sheet of steel three-quarters of an inch thick. Pointing the gun downward toward the offices fill ed with people below him, Dr. Hut chinson discharged the weapon and the cash register clink was heard. In the sheet of steel there was lodged a pro jectile three inches long and one half inch in diameter. The ends stuck out on either side of the steel. Dr. Hutchinson explained that the tail end of the projectile was threaded and served the purpose of a bolt. He declared this feature could be used in bolting a plate over a hull in a leak ing ship at sea. The demonstration gun used by Dr. Hutchinson had a velocity of one mile a second. He declared the high power rifles now in vogue obtain their velocity through the use of small pro jectiles, long barrels, and about three times as much powder as is used in the new weapon. The"" principle of burning the powder, which does not permit waste before the projectile even starts to move, has been applied in the gun, Dr. Hutchinson explained. The elimination of a loud report, he said, was obtained by confinement of the expanding gas to the chamber from which the projectile emanated. The weapon resembled the nozzle of a pneumatic hammer. Chicago, July 5. The membership of sixteen railroad labor organizations, including the big four brotherhoods, 'The result would be serious injury ; will rlpoido throus-h a referendum vote and loss to the whole community, and by September 1 whether to accept or in the long run, the veterans them-: reject the 12 per cent, wage reduction selves would lose far more than they would gain. I cannot bring myself to believe that this would be adjust ed compensation for a service that was performed as the highest duty of citizenship, and a sacrifice that can be never measured in terms of money."
