The Dead Kings of Finance
(From the World’s Work.)
Individual opportunity in commerce
and finance reached its climax, one may
say, in the School of the Magnates—
during the three or four brief years
when every industry of great impor
tance was headed by a Man. Just as
certainly as Morgan, son of a banker,
became the King of All the Banks, so
certainly did Harriman, son of a pov
erty-stricken clergyman, become King
of All the Railroads; Havemeyer, ab
solute Boss of Sugar; Ryan and Brady,
Twin Tyrants of the Traction; Duke,
the Lord of Tobacco; IcockefeUer, the
Omnipotent in Oil; Carnegie, che Caliph
of Steel, &c., &c. In nearly every
great Une of individual endeavor some
man or family or group of friends came
up and seized autocratic power, and a
wealth commensurate with that power
flowed in upon them.
Havemeyer died- No man came to
take his place. Harximan died. No
man succeeded him. Rogers died, and
with him passed his power. One by
one the School of the Magnates slipped
away, some into rest, some into en
forced idleness, some into various
havens of safety from public wrath,
some into death. As the ring broke at
iast, Mr. Morgan too died quite sud
denly. The fortunes of the giants of
yesterday remain, for the most part,
intact, but the power of the men of
yesterday is nowhere pased down from
father to son. No new men come to
wield the sceptres of autocratic power
in any of the giant trades of commerce,
tinance or transportation.
Items From HiHsDoro.
Hillsboro, N. U March 30,1914.
Mr. Samuel Gattis, one of the oldest
citizens of Orange County, died at his
home near Orange Church Wednesday
morning. Mr. Gattis was the father
of Hon. 3»M. Gattis of Hillsboro, So
lictor of the 9th Judicial District. Mr.
Gattis was 94 years of age and was
probably the closest connecting link
between the present time and the
American Revolution. His father was
a soldier in the war for American Inde
pendence.
Mrs. Jordan, wife of W. H. Jordan,
died at her home in Hillsboro Thursday.
Besides a bereaved husband she leayes
a family of little children too young to
realize their loss.
A freight train came very near being
wrecked here last week two “hoboes”
punctured the air brake. I*; was
thought that they intended stopping
over at Hillsboro but the engineer
seemed to have had other plans. They
cut into the rubber couplings and
brought the train to a dead stop in a
few yards. The cars were badly shaken
and jostled but all remained on the
track. The hoboes jumped off and
made for a get-a-way. One was last
seen crossing the top ot Occoneechee
Mountain. The other struck for the
low country. The train crew was
giving such hot pursuit that he waa
forced to take to the water. The
pursuers, howaver succeeded in capt
uring this one and delivered him into
the handi of the officers.
Superior Court, which was to have
convened hpre today, is not in session.
Owing to the death of his wife. Judge
Lyon is not able to be on hand. The
news was received here Saturday after
noon and the Sheiiff succeeded in
notifying most of the jurors to that
effect. There is quite a large crowd
here today, liowever, who came to
attend court. It is stated that Judge
Lyon will open court here Thursday.
The loss of these three days will
probably make it impossible to try any
of the civil cases this term.
Helping the fown

The things the ladies are planning and
striving for will make Statesville a
cleaner town, a prettier town and a
more desirable place to live. The mat
ter of oiling the streets, for instance,
to keep down the dust, which is not
only annoying and damaging to prop
erty but very dangerous to health, has
been suggested heretofore, but sug
gesting is about as far as the men get
with many things who will have to
push these matters through and make
the men do what they should do with

Difference in Name Only.
Republicau papers now say we have
with u3 the “ship subsidy democrat."
He is for granting the shipping trust
a special privilege by which it can
keep the money it otherwise would
have to pay into the United States
treasury in tolls. Some of those
democrats who still insist on “free
tolls” for a special interest, use specious
arguments to prove that free tolls is
not a subsidy. Whether it is a subsidy
or a bounty or not, it is worth millions
to the shipping trust, so what difference
does it make by what name governj

Tobacco’s Nip by Frost.
Except for some slight damage of
the kind never wholly avoidable, all
the crops appear to be enjoying good
condition or good prospects. If there
is ary exception it appears in the form
uf complaints from eastern South Car
olina that many tobacco plants were
destroyed by the last freeze. “The
Mullins Enterprise," says that journal
“has made extensive inquires concern
ing the tobacco plant situation and has
reached the conclusion that the pros
pect is indeed gloomy. Where some
farmers thought they had plenty of
good, healthy plants, they now find
they hare practically none. While
some other farmers still contend that
their plants are all right, a close in
vestigation reveals the fact that they
are dead or dying, and those in position
to know declare it will be a hard pull
to put out half a crop, taking the acre
age as a whole. A great many farmers
planted their beds over Just after the
freoze, but whether the late-sown aeed
will come on in time to make plants
for the coming crop is hard to say.

All From One Stanly
County Tree.
(From The Albemarle Enteiprise.)
R. M. Stoker, who lives east of the
city on Route one, reports that J[he
sawed 52 cross-ties from one tree last
week. This likely breaks the record
for North Carolina. These ties sold
for $23,40 for the one tree. The wood
in the limbs would make a cord or
more of wood, thus making the tree
worth more than S25.

Tree Planting by Towns*.

ties and reasonable enjoyment was
the adoption of a scheme introduced
by President Garfield of Williams col
lege 0 the effect that each year there
shall be planted along the rosdsides a
number ot trees that wiil be valuable
for commercial purposes in years to
come. Williamstown has about 90
miles of road that lend themselves to
such an arrangement. Thoy are of
good width and have broad margins.
It i'» President Gai field’s idea to block
out a public forest on this land, which
is public property. 111. 50 years a

It may soon be said, if it is not al

ard American railway is the safest
thing in the world. The Pennsylvania
for instance, last year handled 111,000-
000 passengers, without killing one in
a train accident. This was equal to
the population of the United States,
in addition to about three times the
population of Greater New York, in
cluding the towns of the Jersey main
land. This road handled nearly 6000,-
000,000 passenger? jr more than one-
third of the population of the globe,
in the past six years, during which on
ly 16 passengers lost their lives. In
this time, out of 5,000,000 trains run,
only five met with wrecks resulting
in the death of passengers. It takes a
very high business moral to get such
a result. Yet almost no consideration
is given by tne lawmaking critics to
such a magnificent showing on tha
part of the masters of the country’s
transportation .lines.

“It is known,” writes Mr. Anderson

that “the suffragettes have shown

Art of ‘^Suffrajitus” Be

The latest development of suffragette
militancy is the art of “suffrajitus. ”
Militants who are assigned to political
meetings and to get in a word for suf

art, the chief feature of which is ab
ility to twine arms and legs around a
chair or pillar in such a way that it
would take a small army of ushers or
policemen to pry tne disturbers loose.
The system worked well on its recent
trial at a meeting addressed by John
Bums in Stratham until the head of

the stewards to remove the chairs as
well as their occupants from the hill.
The Labor party, which m spite of
its advocacy of equal suffrage, is be
ing attacked because of its alliance
with the Liberal government, has hit
upon a novel plan to meet this latest
move of the suffragettes. Husky worn
en stewards are being employed to
deal with the interrupters, and, as
one labor leader explained, the plan is
a distinct success, because on account
of a subtile point of militant psychol
ogy, the sense, of martyrdom is less
comforting when one is ejected bv a
member of one’s own sex. At a re
cent demonstration the militants cried
despairingly: “Why don’t you send

Considerable pomp used to attend tho
