LEGISLATIVE RECORD
HARDING CONGRESS
Establishes a Technical State of
Peace With Central Powers.
Washington, Nov. 24.-Establish-mentof
a technical status of peace
with the former central powers and
enactment of a long train of recon
Uoislatinn were the prvn-
SLI UlUun , .
cipal achievements of the extra ses
sion of the Sixty-seventh Congress,
which ended late last night.
Called soon after President Hard
ing's inauguration, virtually all of
the Executive's legislative requests,
made in his openmg adores -joint
session April 2, were heeded.
The principal requests of the presi
dent were adoption of the Knox
peace resolution provision for peace
treaties, tax and tariff revis.on leg
islation and consideration oi a
Deprtment of Public Welfare. Only
on the latter was no definite action
taken, except for public hearing and
introduction of bills.
Peace Resolution.
The peace resolution was the first
concern of the extra session. The
Knox measure, whose author, Ben.
K,nx Republican, Pennsylvania,
died suddendly October 12, was adopt
ed by the Senate April 30 Aid by the
House in amended form June 13, the
final draft being enacted July I,
Peace treaties with Germany, Aus
tria and Hungary followed shortly
and were ratified October 18.
Another step taken early in the
session was ratification by the Sen
ate April 20 of the long delayed $25,
000,000 Columbian treaty .
nnmestic Legislation.
Of domestic interest, fiscal legisla
tion was. prominent, with passage of
the tax revision bill with most im
portant achievement. The perma
nent tariff revision bill was taken up
first and passed by the House, buj,
was laid aside by the Senate until
the next session in order that the tax
-,,, ru14 be enacted.
Congress, also found time to enact
tnanv other important reconstruction
measures. Besides passing appro-
priation bills aggregating pearly
-S9O0.000.000, including 'he regular
army and navy supply measures,
which were left over from the pre
vious session, .some of the more im
portant measures gassed during the
extra session were.
Other Measures.
The temporary immigration restric-
Establishment of the Federal budget j
system.
The Capper-Tinchef bill for regulat

OFF YEAR" STRAWS jg
This is an "off year" in politics, and g
Republicans naturally are loath to ad- S
mit that there Is any national pol ti- t
cal significance in the election results. &
They would have been quick, however, !K
to point to them as a vindication of m
the national administration, and an.
indication of popular confidence in the
Republican party, had there been any g
basis on which to advance such a m
ClaBut, with few exceptions, the elec- &
tion returns show great Democratic W
gains and corresponding RepuW'"1" W
losses. Virginia is the only state A
which elected a Governor, " A
ted a Democrat of course, but by an mst
unusual majority and under circum- $
stances extremely painful to the Re-
publican party. This sUte had been m
uemocrai o -- - jh
nor by the Reoublicans, a lively cam- g
paign made, much money poured into
the contest, plausible appeal made for
the support of independents and sup-
posedly disgruntled Democrats, and g
Republican victory was confidently
claimed on the eve of the election by a I
majority of 25,000. But the resu i t
was a disheartening fiasco to Republi- g
can hopes, for Virginia gave one of
v. . r -!i r f n mmoTltieS fl
the largest uciiin- j-
ever recorded in its history, and even
swept into the Democratic column the a
one Congressional district of the state n
that had been a Republican stronghold J
for twenty years. Thus pensh IRe- j
I publican hopes of breaking the Solid i
South in this decade. , 1
Maryland, including the city of Bal- t
timore, reversed its election verdict
of a vear ago and recorded a pemocra- j
tic plurality of 18,000 in a light vote. ,
Kentucky repented its lapse into Ke-. ;
puoiicanism uurmj " -
and elected a Democratic legislature.
The city of Albany , N. long a
stronghold of the G. O. P., elected a
Democratic Mayor for the first time
in 22 years. Bridgeport, Conn., an
other Republican Gibralter, also turn
ed to Democracy. And New York
City rolled up the biggest Democratic
majority in its history against a coal
ition of Republicans and anti-Tam-many
Democrats. . . ,
rnese are out a icw w ,
es, recorded in all sections of the coun-1
ty, shoeing that the penauium oi puu
lie sentiment is swinging toward the j
Democratic party once more. The
American people last year were ap
pealed to in devious and cunning ways
to "vote for a change' 'and they did
so. But the change has not proved up
to the pre-election specifications. The
Republican party has been tried and
found wanting. It has failed to make

And the American people repenting
theix action of a vear ago, are prepar

cratic victories this year are but a
prelude to greater ones to come in the

is the plain significance of the election
returns.

BOARD OF PARDON
Rutherfordton Sun..
Recent suggestions that the V-r-doning
power be shifted from the
governor's shoulders to a state beard
of pardons have brought the attorney-general's
report for last year in
to use for the purpose of learning
whether there are many appeals tor
executive clemency in North Caro
lina in a year's time.
Attorney General James
ning's report for the period from
July 1, 1919. to July 1, 1920, shows
that there were 258 homicides in this
state. Of this number only nine
were convicted oi nrsi, cs ,
der- 170 of second degree and 74 of
manslaughter. These figures wovld
indicate that a board of pardons
would have its hands full in normal
times.
But the homicide cases are not tne
only ones which the governor is call
annuallv and which
ru ujiwii v
the' board of pardons would take ov
i er if it were created. For this same
period of 1919-1920 in North Caro
lina there were 31 cases of rape, 34
of assault with intent to commit
rape, five of arson, one of first de
gree burglary and 44 of second de-
i l-i.,. In orlrlition to these
gree uuigij. "
maior crimes the attorney, general s
report has the -following listed.
Forgery, 160; larceny, 1,426; sell
ling intoxicating liquors, 1,263, and
"other crimes and misdemeanors,
6,068."
Second degree murders in the state
in 1918-1919 were 134 as against
170 last year, an increase ' of 36.
Rape cases increased three while the
.ii f ....nil. to commit raps
BUNCO LAID BARE
Will there ever come a time when
the average man of this country can
not be buncoed on the tariff? It is
too much to expect. The length and
i breadth of statesmanship of a great
political party, itB stock in trade, its
perennial shell game, its eternal bun
co, hang around the single idea of
protection. If there is a business de
pression, it can be cured by a high
tariff. If Europe is starving, unable
tn umrfc- pven to suODOrt itself, and
business in this country languishes as j
a result, it is because we are about j
to be smothered witn tne cneap pro
ducts of those same helpless countries.
If the weather is too wet, we need
more protection. If there is a long
dry spell and the wells go ' low, it is
because the Demmies have threatened
free trade.
When the Republican congress as
sembled last spring wheat was selling
... 1 L V,P
at a dollar ana seventy ceiita n"
farmers of the west were demanding
that something be done. The Repub
lican statesmanship mt Washington
saw nothing, thought nothing, preach
ed nothing, but a quick enactment of
a new protection tariff. They put thirty-five
cents a bushel on tfheat and
that thev were sav-
UUIU tUC 1 1. '-" -
. . J .11...
ed. But wheat is now a uunni
bushel and these same farmers who
voted that ticket on the same old gag
will probably vote it again on the
same old eae. And the same states
manship thinks that it can win the
South by promising protection to the
cotton farmers. We expect to hear
o ,,tnr nut. the blame for
ivepuunvmi " x
the boll weevil on a lack of reverance
for protection in the South.
Of all humbugs, protection as a
benefit to farmers is chief. Monroe

CATAWBA FOLK TRYING
TO SOLVE THE WEATHER
CHINA MUST MAINTAIN EFFI
CIENT POSTAL FACILITIES
TO RETAIN ORGANIZATION
Washington, Nov. 28. Taking its
first direct action toward the libera
tion of China from foreign influences,
the arms conference agreed today on
the withdrawal of foreign postofflces
and postal system from Chinese soil.
The decision was conditional only
on the maintepance by China of Effi
cient postal facilities of her own, in
cluding retention of the present do
mestic organization by which a French
o-director general acts as advisor to
the Chinese postal authorities. Janu
ary 1, 1923, virtually was agreed upon
as the date of withdrawal, the Japan
ese alone withholding final approval
on that point pending cdnsulation with'
TOKIO.
Constituting the first concrete appli
cation of the principle of Chinese ad
ministrative integrity was dejineated
in the "four points" of Elihu Root, the
postal agreement is expected to by
followed tomorrow by another provid
ing for, gradual abolition of the sys
tem of extra territorial rights under
iwhich a dozen, foreign governments
have set up their own courts in China;
and by a discussion of China's request-that
foreign troops quartered
within her borders without treaty
sanction be withdrawn.
LONG SHOALS ORGA
NIZES MOTHER'S CLUB
Long Shoals, Nov. 28. The people
of Long Shoals have become very
much interested in the community and
especially oniuu, .......
A meeting was called last Tuesday
night at the school building to organ

The officers were elected as follows:
President, Mrs. Sidney Abernethy.
Vice President, Mrs. Cleveland

Chaplain, Mrs. Thurman Rhyne.
Not only did we find the mothers
present and interested in this work,
but some of the leading young ladies
and men of the community. This
shows the progressive spirit of the
people. It shows that these people
who were present at this meeting, and
of course others who are to join the
club later, are standing for something
hhat will make the community sua
better.
There are some people in the world
that will knock an organization or any
thing that is standing for the upbuild
ing of the community, but we are
proud to say that these people believe
in something better. For, "Onward is
our aim; To help and not to hinder."
We believe that this organization
will mean' much to the school and to
the community. It gives the people
an opportunity to get together and
d:scuss matters of importance, in the
right way, which every progressive
community should do.
The world needs more people of this
kind.
People who will organize, cooperate
lend a helping hand
in the progressive movement in their
community.

Farmers There Recall When October

Hickpry, Nov. 27. Farmers in this
section of North Carolina, who recall
that 30 or 40 years ago, peach and
apple crops seldom were killed by
frosts and that a full crop of this
fruit cannot fce expected now once in
four years, are searching for the rea
son. It is not imagination on their
part. They recall too that the month
ot November is a fall month now,
where as 30 and 40 years ago, it was a
winter month, with October as cold
and rainy as November is in the pres
ent decade.

JAPAN INSISTS ON 70 PER

Washington, Nov. 28. The Wash

its first great decision.
It wis announced tonight by Vice
Admiral Kato, chief Japanese naval
expert, that Japan seeks a 70 per
cent naval ratio. At the same time
it was announced with equal author
ity that the American delegation
stood firmly on Secretary Hughes'
"5-5-3" ratio proposal, which means
a 60 per cent status for Japan. The
conference ultimately must recon
cile the two views o accept one or
the other to reach agreement on
naval limitations.

COL GARDNER FORCED
TO PAY ALLEN $300
Supreme Court Aflrms Verdict In
Case Growing Out of Charlotte Af
fair. From Charlotte News.
An occasion' in Charlotte on the
night of May 19, 1916, the night pre
ceding the appearance here of former
President Wilson for the May 20 cele
bration of that year, furnished the
background for an action detrmin
ed in the Supreme Court of the State
Wednesday when a verdict of $300 se
eurred bv James R. Allen, of Lexing
ton, against Col. J. T. Gardner, of
Shelby, was affirmed.
The occasion itself was a disorder
which happened on West First street
when the entire National Guard forc
es of thee States were mobilized in
Charlotte for the celebratioin and
when there was a disturbance be
tween the soldieys and negroes in that
neighborhood. It was reported at the
lime that the cissn assumeu w
portiops of a riot, but such reports
were exaggerated and only one man
was hurt in the conflict between the
soldiers and the negroes.
Under orders of Adjutant General
Lawrence Young, Colonel Gardner
went to the scene of the uprising on
First street, where a carnival was sta
tioned. The belligerency was found by
Colonel Gardner to have consisted
largely of rock-throwing and the hurl
ing of bottles, one shot was fired, ac
cording to reports made then, and one
man was slightly wounded before Col
onel Gardner got his troops together
and put them away fflr the night his,
orders being to clear the street e
both soldiers and civilians.
It was shortly after this order was i
given and apparent quiet restored that
Allen, the Lexington regular army
member who was with the Lexington
company as a bugler, was walking
the streets and encountered by a
guard who took him before Colonel
Gardner. The -soldier stated that he
wan on his way to a local notet to
snend the night as he had neither bed
ding nor equipment to spend the nigrht
in the barracks, and, being a member
of the regular rmy, he felt no obliga
tion to remain with the guardmn,
After a short controversy Colonel
Gardner ordered the man locked up
for the night, which he spent in the
local jail. He brought suit and re
covered $300. Colonel Gardner took
the case to the Supreme Court which
body re-affirmed the verdict ot tne
lower court, awarding the plaintiff
damages.

Asheville, with an experienced team

JURORS CHOSEN FOR
GASTON MURDER CASE
WOMAN DEFENDANT TELLS
WEIRD STORY AT TRIAL
'Orlando, Fla., Nov. 28. The Jury
hearing the case of Lena M. T.
Clarke and Baxter H. Patterson,
charged with the murder of Fred A.
Miltimore, local restauranteur, today
heard the woman's story recited un
d the spell of a crystal.
Unique in the annals of jurisprud
ence, the woman, an announced
devotee of the oulja, had the crystal
steadily before her in order that she
could concentrate, as it was explain
ed. She held Miltimore responsible
for the theft of $38,000 from the
West Palm Beach postoffice in 1918,
which reflected on her brother, Paul.
Her attempt to cover this shortage
culminated in her taking $32,000
from, a registered package late in
Julv of this year. When postal in
spectors waxed warm in their
investigation sne came u uiuuw
accompanied by Patterson, in search
of Miltimore. As to the killing of
,the man she suffered a lapse of mem
ory. Her testimony exonerated Pat
tersan aar-kuhavtnTmy part irr the'
actual slaying.
Miss Clarke, who occupied the
stand for more than two hours, told
the same story she had given in a
signed statement shortly after Mil
timore's body was found in her room
at a local hotel, She mentioned
Joseph B. Elwell, murdered New York
sportesman, as having loaned her $38
000 in 1918 because of his friendship
for her brother.
To repay him she was forced to start
pn a carreer of doctoring the accounts.
The mention of Elwells name Shortly
after her arrest eaused a flurry in po
lice circles because of the fact that
Elwell's assassins have never been ar
rested. It was quickly established,
however, that the woman had not been
north of Atlanta, Ga., since a young
girl.
Her testimony in regard, to the theft
of $38,000 from the postoffice disagre
ed with that of Postal Inspector W. B.
Brandon, who told the jury Saturday
of his investigation into the postqffiw
irregularities. These irregularities
began before she assumed charge as
po3tmistrees, he testified, but there
was never a shortage of $38,000. The
shortages, ne muu, oAtiwaivc v
$32,060 totaled approximately $5,000.
As Miss Clark neared the end of her
recital of events during her interview
with Miltimore in her room, she took a
flight into matters of spirtualism. She
remembered irWing the man a drug,
she testified, but from then OU, her
mind was a blank until she met Pat
terson in the hotel corridor and to
gether they went to the office of Chief
of Police Vestal.
State's witnesses have testified that
no trace of a drug were found when an
examination of Miltimore's viscera
was nittuc.
Miss Clarke climaxed her testimony
with the assertion the "Aunt Sarah"
