Raleigh.
A special from Charlotte says: Is
Vorth Carolina to be adequately rep
resented by an exhibit at the Panama
■ p a ci6c Exposition next year or is the
etate to overlook this opportunity oi
obtaining what is generally recogniz
ed as the best advertising medium
possible for the resources of the com
monwealth ?
This proposition was presented to
g representative gathering of business
people of Charlotte at a meeting held
at the Selwyn Hoiel at which time
brief but forceful talks were made by
Col. Fred A. Olds of Raleigh, com
missioner on behalf of the exposition;
Mr. Leonard Tufts of Pinehurst, Mr.
J. A. Brown of Chadborun, Mr. C. E
Hutchison of Mount Holly, and Mr.
gtuart W. Cramer of Charlotte, com
missioners on behalf of the state ap
pointed by Governor Craig,' and
Messrs. C. E. Hughes, T. W. Alexan
der, Cameron Morrison and John a.
Mcßae of Charlotte.
At the conclusion of the meeting
a resolution was introduced and un
animously adopted providing for the
appointment by the Greater Charlotte
Club of a committee to secure SI,OOO
from the city for the purpose of
properly exploiting the resources of
the Queen City at the exposition and
also to appear before the Legislature
to urge upon that body the donation
ofa sufficient amount to properly
advertise the advantages of North
Carolina at this great celebration.
The supreme need of obtaining
more people in the state and the de
sirability of making an effort to in
duce tLe immigration from the Middle
Vest and West was the keynote of
the meeting. Mr. J. A. Brown of
Chadbourn declared that North Caro
lina possessed greater advantages
and derived the least returns* there
from ot any state in thife Union. He
added that North Carolina had a
population of only 2,500,000 whereas
it ought to have and sometime would
have 10,000,000. He cited statements
by Dr. Seamon Knapp and Secretary
James Wilson to the effect that the
section of the country destined to
make the greatest strides in agricul
tural development was that situated
within 100 miles of the Atlantic Coast
between Norfolk, Va., and Jackson
ville, Fla. Of this favored section he
declared North Carolina stood first.
Cost of Hog Cholera Serum Lower.
The state department of agriculture
Issues the following notice to the
«wine growers of North Carolina:
• "On July 1 the North Carolina
v department of agriculture reduced the
cost of hog cholera serum from one
and one-half cents a cubic centimeter
to one and one-fourth cents. The de
partmnt has been furnishing this se
™m t0 farmers at cost of produc
tion since 1910.
As the demand for the serum in
creases, with the improved facilities
for making it, the cost has been re
iced from two and one-half cents the
cubic centimeter in 1910 to one and
cents. All serum will be
Bent by express C. O. D., unless
ec or money order accompanies
oraer.
Orders for serum should be ad

Under $550 Bonds. I
Statesville, July 9.—M. P. Sharpe and
Ben Jarrett, of Catawba county, for some
time suspected of hauling hooze from
Wilkes and Alexander counties into Ca
tawba, where they are alleged to have
had a large retail trade, left Catawba
Tuesday in a new automobile and cios
sed over into Alexander county. The
Catawba officials immediately notified
the Alexander and Iredell authorities to
be on the lookout for them and as a re
sult they were captured at the Statesville-
Buffalo Shoals bridge over the Catawba
as they were attempting to go back
into Catawba Tuesday nignL
The arrest was made by officers from I
Statesville, Sheriff Deaton, Deputy Sher
iff Gilbert and Deputy Revenue Collect
or Alexander, who were lying in wait at
the river bridge.
When the machine appeared at first no
liquor could be found in the machine
and the gate keeper was in the act of al
lowing the ni u'hinc to pass on the bridge
when the odor of liquor was dejected
and the sheriff ordered the bridge closed
Sharpe and Jarrett suddenly turned tl e
automobile around and started back up
the hill. Sheriff Deaton jumped on the
running board on one side and Deputy
Gilbert on the other. The men refused
the demands to stop the machine, but
the sheriff finally reached in and shut off
the gasoline. The machine was then
searched and three gallons of liquor, a
lot of empty bottles, • a measuring cup,
etc., were found under the seat. Both
men were immediately placed tinder ar
rest by the sheriff and the machine and
booze seized in the name of the United
States Government by Mr. Alexander on
the ground that the liquoi tax was not
paid. The prisoners were brought to
Statesville and later required to give $250
bond each for their appearance at Super
ior Court here to answer for having more
liquoi than the law allows.
When released by the county officers
they were rearrested by Deputy Marshal
Milholland and Deputy Alexander, who
took them to Taylorsville yesterday
morning for a hearing before United
States Commissioner Allen, who requit
ed bond each for their appearance
at Federal Court.
LESS WHISKEY CONSUMED.
But More Beer Is Used and Mors
Cigarettes Smoked.
Washington.—Americans drank less
whiskey during the past 12 months
than they did the year before, but they
oeiftamed mere beer and waofced
more cigarettes.
Reports to the commissioner of In
ternal revenue made public showed
that receipts for the fiscal year just
closed totalled $846,069 less than for
the previous year, and most of this
decline was due to the marked de
crease in taxes collected on distilled
spirits. Detailed statements for the
month of June are not yet available,
but in the first 11 months of the fiscal
year there was a decrease of $3,734,-
8571 in the Income from the manufac
ture and sale of dißtilled liquor, due
in part to reduction in the number of
licenses. Estimates on the June re
ceipts indicated the total decline in
distilled liquor tax for 12 months will
probably be $4,250,000.
Receipts from tobacco taxeß show
ed an approximate increase of $2,800,-
000 over last year. This gain is due
almost entirely to a phenomenal in
crease in the cigarette trade. The gain
in receipts from fermented liquor*
beer, ale and the like was about 1860,-
000. 4
Commercial Agnt of Bouth.
Washington.—W. A. Graham Clark

Preparing New Conservation Bill.
Washington. Secretary Garrison
and Secretary Lane were busy draft
ing amendments to carry dfet the un
derstanding reached at the White
House conference regarding water
power development legislation In Con
gress. Differences between the In
terior and War Departments and the
Interstate Commerce Commission and

REPRESENTATIVE RAILROAD
EMPLOYEB PROTEST AGAINST
RATES OF JUSTICE ACT.
BEFORE RATE COMMISSION
Wag** Will 8e Cut, If They Say, and
Hundreds of Workers Thrown Out
of Employment
Ashevllle.—North Carolina railroads
which are fighting the rates named in
the Jistlce intrastate freight rate bill
rested their case with the introduc
tion of the last witness before the
session of the North Carolina Rate
Commission, now meeting in this city.
Two witnesses were introduced by
the railroads and thetr testimony was
to the effect that the proposed rata
are* unfair and ruinous. James H.
Pou, well-known railroad attorney,
was on the stand during the morning
and his testimony was of a technical
nature, as was that of T. W. Matthews
of the freight department of the Sea
board Air Line.
The feature of the day's delibera
tions developed when M. C. Toms,
chief counsel for the Southern, stated
that representatives of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
and the Order of Railway Conductors
desired to make statements to the
commissioners. Mr. Toms explained
that when the bill was enrolled the
Southern Invited its employes to stndy
Its provisions and asked the three
organizations to send representatives
to the meeting of the commission. He
stated that these men had -attended
tbe sessions and had expressed a de
sire to make voluntary statements to
the commissioners before the case
was closed for the railroads. It was
ordered that they be heard.
M. C. Thompson, M. M. Albright,
W. B. Smithers and J. A. Bolick ap
pealed as the representatives of the
organizations named and spent con
siderable time in making their state
ments before the men who will decide
whether or not the rates named In the
Justice bill shall go into effect.
The statements of the railway men
were to the effect that If the rates
are declared effective, hundreds of the
employes of the railroads in this
state will be thrown out of work, six
hoars will be named ae the length, of
a working day of the shops at Spen
cer, necessitating cutting of the sala
ries of the men employed there 40 or
50 per cent, other employes will have
their salaries reduced and nttlroad
men employed In all of the depart
ments of the Southern will be laid off
by reason of the necessity that that
road decrease its force of men.
PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Wlnson-Salem Will Pay Fire Laddies
In Near Future.
Winston-Salem. —Mayor O. B. Eat
on and Chairman Fred Fogl4lof the
fire committee of the aldermwi have
returned from Washington, where
they went to Inspect the Washington
fire department with a view of putfing
the Winston-Salem fire department on
a paid basis this fall. Harry E Nit
ron, one of the leading volunteer fire
fighters of the city, accompanied the
officials to Washington, and is under
stood to be slated for position of chief
which will carry a salary sufficient
to guarantee his entire time to the
duties of the postiion and inspection
of buildings. Mr. will'remain
in Washington studying the most
modern methods of fire fighting and
handling of apparatus.
Although tho second city in size in
the state, Winston-Salem will be next
to the last of the major cities to in
augurate a paid system. Greensboro
probably following close after. If pos»-
sJble the change will be made Sep

Juvenile Court In Ashevllle.
Ashevllle. —Rev. Crawford Jackson,
managing secretary of the Juvenile
Protective Association, Is spending
several days here working in the In
terest of a juvenile court for Ashe
vllle, and the indications are that
such a tribunal will be established at
this city. It is planned to conduct the
court in a room apart from the police
court and to eliminate all of the po
lice court surroundings in the trial of
boys and girls charged with
of the law. Mr. Jackson was speaker
at a meeting held.
Rains Save Crops.
Mount Olive. —Judging from appear*
ances and from reports furnished by
the farmers themselves, this year's
corn crop now bids fair to be one of
the best in years; that Is, In this sec
tion. Before the rains of the past
few days had fallen, corn was begin
ning to fail fast, and the farmaj-s were
downcast and fearful that the crop
would be a complete failure. How.
ever, it seems that the rains came in
the nick of time, as a result of which
no crop in years has at this season
tha raw looked »«• promising.

Corn and cotton looks fine and is in

fine and there are a great many planted
this year. The apple and peach crop
are good. The blackberry is very indif

Fred R. Yoder has gone to the Univer

I bet a peck of sourkraut that Hickory
will get the clerk of the Superior Cour',

Then I will make another bet of a quart

County Commissioner. If any one wants
to cover this bet come along with your
chinquapins and lay them MI the shelve.
I think that the county treasurer office
ought to be abolished and let the banks
do the business as is nqw done and save
that percentage and give it to the public
school fund to build up education in the
county.
I think there ought to be an amendatory
clause be made in the public school law
to provide that the board of education to
be elected by the popular vote of the
people of the county. More especially
the superintendent, who ought to be an
experienced teacher, and who had made
it his life long study preparing himself
for that great and important work, and
who is well versed in the school law.

Vara Cruz, Mexico. —Querido Mo

Commerce and Labor, before depart

He insisted that he was in a posi

isted a "secret platform'', of the Pro

of which Colonel Theodore. Rposevelt
was cognizant and in which he con
curred, looking to the disruption of

these letters at the proper time.
"And not only were the .leaders of
the Progressive party pledged to this
policy," he added," but politicians of
both the Republican and Democratic
parties had promised their secret sup
port That President Wilson himself
had subscribed to this iniquitous cor
respondence aB evidenced by his atti

American in all the hundred, million

those troops are on shore ■ in Vera

"To show President Wilson's crime
against Mexico—the greet©3t in the
history of modern nations," is the an

trip to the United States byway of
Cuba. He arrived here on the Es

Paul A. Sigmon
Paul Sigmon is dead. His passing re
moves a most interesting character from I
the community of Hickory. He was in
the community, but not of the commun
ity. His life was exclusive in that it was
lived among his own people.
He belonged to the old and substantial
families of Catawba county. His father
was Eli Sigmon and his mother, Eliza
beth Suttlemyre. The ancestral home
is between the Robinson plantation and
the town of Newton. Here Paul was
born June 2, 1820. He died July 9,1914,
making his age 94 years, 1 month and 7
days. He married twice. His first wife
was Genelia Bolick, his second wife
Katherine Baker. Both died before him.
He leaves two brothers living, 7 children
40 grandchildren and 38 greatgrandchild
ren. 17 grandchildren and greatgrand
children having died.
His long years were not due to the ob
servance of any special rules of health,
nor his temperate habits. He used his
tobacco and drafnk his whiskey when
ever he wanted it, but not to drunkeness
as the manner of some is.
Free and independent, Mr. Sigmon
cared.little for the rules of society or the
laws of the state. Thirty years ago he
believed the revenue laws of the coun
try to be an infringement upon his in
herent rights and as a result he was often
in conflict with the revenue officers over
some alleged illicit distilling. He paid
the price and died a lawabiding citizen.
He was honest and cheerfully met all
financial obligations. In youth he was
taught the principles of our holy religion
and united with the church and although
for many years inactive as a church
member retained his reverence for reli
gion and in the last years of his life re
quested that religious services be
conducted in his home. Let us believe
and hope that this reverence was
strengthened and that in his last hours
his soul cried out after God.
His funeral was held from Old Saint
Pajil's church on July 11, and his body
placed between the ashes of his departed
wives. J. L. M.
TROOPS MOVE TO CAPITAL.
Federals Are Recruiting and Prepar

EJegle Pass, Tex. lnformation
brought by messengers from Saltlllo
was that troops from th© division of
the East have been ordered by Gen

dcmiately to Queretaro. This move Is
regarded as significant of the part the
division of the East intends to play
in the final assault on City as
the final stand of the Federals prob
ably will be made at Queretaro.
The movement to Queretaro, It Is
thought here, also was precipitated
by the withdrawal of Federal troops
under General Pascual Orozco from
the Queretaro garrison to reinforce
the Mexico City garrison.

at one time to provoke war with the
United States. General Huerta against
whom the Constitutionalists have
waged incessant warfare since he
overthrew President Madero 18
months ago, has given up Ihe struggle
at last.
Weakened by the struggle of the
United States to recognize his Gov
ernment and cut off from financial
support in Europe, he realises the
big Constitutionalist army, augmented
daily as it presses southward, is at
the threshold of the Mexican capital.
Fearful that an invading army may
oommit excesses which would endang
er the lives of an innocent population
and destroy property, persons influen
tial with the man who has dictated
affairs in Mexico City at own whim
have persuaded him to abandon his
hopeless position.
Comprehensive messages to Wash
ington diplomats from legations and
consulates in Mexico City thus de
scribe the situation.
Within a few days General Huerta
is expected to resign in favor of his
newly appointed Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Francisco Carbajal, until re
cently chief justice of the Supreme
Court of Mexico. Difficulties between
the United States and the Huerta Gov
ernment 'were composed at Niagara
Falls Huerta would leave the Internal
problem to be settled by his successor.
Carbajal, it is expected, would
bring the gap from the Huerta regime
to a new provisional administration
controlled by the Constitutionalists.
He has not been active in politics
and is anxious for peace.
