Sfpt 2. A country without an army' without a navy, without a national debt and without an income tax whn the romance of the South Seas still lives, and where, every male reaching: the age of 16 year must own eight and one-quarter acres of land to sustain his own family a statute obligation which is fulfilled by a magnanimous gov ernment granting him the land gratis.

They have their own monarch, ministry, flag and parliament of seven members elected by the peo ple and an equal number chosen by the nobles or hereditary chiefs. At the end of last March, Pre mier Vanakoa said the kingdom had a surplus of more than 100.000 pounds revenue over its expenditure after paying for all public works.

The premier has an attractive personality. His English is excel lent, although he confesses to a slight timidity because all his edu cation was obtained in a Tongan school. He has been premier since 1912. DEATHS FUNERALS MISS CORRIXA HAYWORTH High Point. Sept 3.

PUBLICATION OF REPLY AWAITED Shin Fein Are Disposed to Favor Some Features of Lloyd-George Offer. London, Sept. 2. (By the Asso ciated Press) Prime Minister Lloyd-George has sent the reply of Eamonn de Valera, the Irish repub lican leader, to his latest commu nication on the Irish peace pro posals to London for consultation among the members of the cabinet. Having regard for the serious is- sues involved, Mr. Lloyd-George has summoned a cabinet meeting to be held on Wednesday next at Inverness, Scotland. WAS NOT A DISCUSSION. Dublin. Sept. 2. (By the Associated Press) Sinn Fein Ireland today await ed publication of the text of the note sent to Prime Minister Lloyd-George yesterday by Eamonn de Valera and his colleagues in the Irish republican government. Mr. Lloyd-George is spending a brief vacation at Gairloch, Scotland, and it was announced that nothing relative to the Sinn Fein reoty to the Prime Minister's note relative to the settlement of the Irish questirm would be given out here until it was known it was in Mr. Lloyd-George's hands. It was believed, however, that the Sinn Fein, leaders did not discuss with the Prime Minister any of the points of i his latest note with the exception of the final clause, in which further ne gotiations were suggested.

London, Sept. 1 Demonstrations, in which many thousands of London's unemployed participated, occurred last night and marked the culminating point of the unrest among the idle which has prevailed here during the past fortnight. Several members of the borough council of Poplar, a section of London, were arrested and lodged in Brixton prison for refusing to raise the tax rates in accordance with an order from the London county council, which took action to raise funds to care for the destitute. The arrest of the re mainder of the council members, some of them women, was expected today. The Woolwich board of . guardians was asked by a deputation "of a mon ster demonstration to pay 25 shillings a week to each unemployed man and wife, with an additional dole of eight shillings for each child. Demand was also made that rents should not be collected from men out of work. These demands were rejected by the board. Several men, who had spent Wednes day night in a workhouse in Hackney, refused to. leave in the morning. They were arniested and later sentenced to a. week's imprisonment. Belief was expressed today that a rcyal commission would be created for the purpose of conducting an inquiry into the question of taxes and the equalization of rates for the relief of the poor. appears to be a disposition to consider favorably some features of the Prims Minister's terms. raeMflim nnoimce o oiiowaii Distributors Charlotte, N. C. suae sj clear; partly cloudy; cloudy SIGNATURE OF A TREATY OPPOSED President Obregon Thinks it Neither Possible Nor Necessary. Mexico City, Sept. 2. Signature of a treaty with the United States preliminary to recognition of the Mexican government by that coun try is opposed by President Obre gon. In his message to the new Mexican Congress, read last night, before the lower house, the Presi dent took the position that such a treaty was "neither possible, con venient nor necessary and is con trary to Mexican constitutional precepts, as it would create special privileges for Americans." This statement was loudly applauded by the members of the house and by spectators. Recognition of the Mexican govern ment by Washington has long been delayed because of the refusal of Presi dent Obregon to negotiate first a treaty oi" commerce and amity. The President's message was very- voluminous, and discussed the affairs of all departments of the government. It declared the country had been paci fied, and that the national finances were in good condition. President Obregon enumerated in his message the governments which have extended recognition to Mexico. He named Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Co lombia, . Costa Rica, Chile, Salvador, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nica ragua Panama. Peru, Uruguay, Para guay, Venezuela, Germany, Austria, Spain, Holland, Italy, Sweden, China and Japan. The message said cordial messages had been received from France and Switzerland. .Prices otor Co o Phone 341 FITE'S SPECIALS Nice chickens, butter and fresh eggs. 8 lbs.
