MAYOR JOHNSON
The death of Mayor Jas. I. John
son of Raleigh will cause a pang
in many a heart. The thief exe
cutive of the capital city, he came
into direct touch with thousands of
his fellowmen and he impressed them
favorably. Mr- Johnson possessed
f.ne native ability, good common
e .nise and a personality that was
rugged enough to attract men of all
classes. He was honest and sin
ce: i along with it all, and these
things account for his many tri
umphs in Raleigh elections. He
was mayor of Raleigh during its
greatest development and much
that city's growth may be fairly
Iributed to his work.

BRITISH ALARMED AT
GERMAN POTTERY PRICES
SATURDAY, OCT. I. 19 1
The Saturday Evening Post calls
on the country to elect a business
man for president in 19'JO and as
signs many reasons for the demand.
It would bo a fine thing for the
United States if the country could
be placed on a business basis for
four years. There are billions of
dollars wasted annually, resources
are squandered as if they grew on
trees, and everything needs steady
ing. But each political party will
mime a candidate who will appear
most likely to get the votes, and we
will have politics and extravagence
as usual.
London, Eng., Sept. 9. (Corres
pondence of the Associated Press.)
The Brtish pottery trade has tak
en alarm at the appearance of Gei-1
man china in the stores of the pottery j
district at prices which manufactur-1
ing potters declare they cannot ap
proach. Even in this city, with its
important pottery industry, German
ware is being offered below the eosLr
of local manufacture.
Thes German goods, it is stated, 1
are being represented as ot JJutcn i
manufacture but a member of the j
English china manufacturers' asso- j
ciation said that no such china was :
manufactured in Holland.
The price of the German goods is .
fully fifty per cent under the cost I
of local production and this in Lon
gton, the real home of English china.
"If it is true, as has often been
said," a pottery manufacturer, "that
Germany has been accumulating vast
stocks of manufactured goods during
the war, it is possible she has been
passing them over the Dutch border in
exchange for butter and cheese. In
that case the prospect of wholesale
"dumpings" from that quarter, ad
ded to the certainty of severe direct
German competition in home and
overseas markets will create a se
rious situation for the English china
manufacturer."
Chicago Tribune
In August Gen. Pershing, about
tu leave France for the United
states, gave five minutes to Con
gressmen Johnson, Bland and Flood,
leceived them affably, told them , he j
could not take the witness stand
jast then, did not put his papers at
their disposal, hoped they would
! have a pleasant time, and allowed I
them to find their hats and depart.
The congressmen were at first i
victims of discomfieure, but, with a
genuine congressional rally, turned
it into rage. The committee is home
now. it is home in a critical mood
From the comments of the gentle
men we conclude that the American
army was a terrible thing, terribly
handled.
We gather that home of the rea
sons why tho United States lost the
war were the following:
Conditions in the prison camps
were appaling.
Cruelties were unperecedented.
Lack of food, heat, and air was
beyond description.
Misuse of government funds would
1 startle the nation if given publicity,
j Thousands of compasses for
which there was no use were bought.
Over $1,000,000 was lost on a sale
' of blankets,
j Etc-, etc., etc.
No wonder we lost the war.

fond of dancing, according to the med
ical officer of the London county coun
cil. "Teaching of dancing in the public
schools has no doubt greatly helped,
if it has not saved the situation in
regard to the physical development of
London girls," said the medical offi
cer. "Particularly noticeable is the
much better arched instep of the
girls in comparison with their own
brothers and with contrv children irt-n-
erallv.
"The relative absence of flat-foot
thus brought about is the foundation
of that grace of carriage which the
typical London girl of the elementary
schools exhibits. In the country
schools no dancing is taught, nor do
the children there enjoy those outside
stimuli to an interest in dancing which
are characteristic of London life."

MAYOR JAS. I. JOHNSON
OF RALEIGH IS DEAD
Raleigh, Oct- 4. Mayor James
Iredell Johnson, five successive
terms chief magistrate of Raleigh,
died last night in Springs, Va.,
after an illness of one day with par
alysis. Mayor Johnson's health took him
to the Virginia health resort, but
Thursday partial paralysis indicated
the desperateness of his illness. He
had previously fallen at his work,
Nevertheless, his condition was not
generally known and his death to
night shocks the city greatly.
He was perhaps the most popular
xecutve that the city has had and
his administration was coeval with
the city's greatest growth. When
the commissioner succeeded the al
dermanic form he championed the
change and led the ticket in the
election. Only once in his public
life was he defeated and then by
Stanhope Wynne in 190(J-
The mayor was a brother of Col.
Charles E. Johnson, close kinsman
ot James Iredelf, and related to
many of the most prominent Nortn
Carolina families. A wife, three
sons and a daughter survive him.
The funeral will take place here
Sunday.
With the death of Mayor Johnson
the whole city commission has
changed personnel by reason of
death. j
Commissioner Seawell, of public
works, died in the spring a few days
before the election and Commission
er Uzzell of public safety, in the
late fall of 1917. Mayor Johnson,
who was also commissioner of fin
ance, makes an entire change in the
city government, all commissioners

Wilmington, Oct. 4. Representa

were told at a conference here that
ihe continued operation of the Car

Wilmington would depend to a great
extent upon the housing problem in
this city being successfully solved
at an early date. The committee,
hearing this statement, which was
regarded by the members of the
committee as being decidedly alarm-
ng, readily agreed to exhaust every
possible effort in endeavoring to
provide whatever number of homes
may be necessary.
