Shall fold tneir tents like the Arabs
And as silently pass away.’’

MAXWELL FAVORS
BUS REGULATION
Corporation Commissioner Declares the
“The railroads pay the State heavy
taxes and I believe that they are entitled
to some protection from unfair motor bus
competition,” said Corporation Commis
sioner A. J. Maxwell, yesterday speaking
about the recent petition of two rail
roads to curtail train service on short
lines on account of the motor bus compe
tition.
“Railroads offer the people service ip
fair weather and foul,” continued Mr.
Maxwell. “Many buses run only when
the weather permits and pay no special
tax for their road which has been pro
vided for them by taxes paid by the peo
ple. Many of the buses are not bonded
against injury to passengers and are
driven by incapable drivers.”
Mr. Maxwell stated that he looked
forward to effective legislation to regu
late motor transportation at the next
session of the General Assembly.
Meek ins Makes a “Bust.”
Lexington Dispatch.
Colonel Ike MCebins is not using dis
cretion in his campaign. He is making
too many foolish statements and then
having to deny or retract them. One
of his recent outbursts was against state
banks, in which he declared that about
half of the banks in the state should
be closed up. He also referred in one
or more speeches to the failure of a Lex
ington bank, and now he is being called
upon to name the Lexington bank that
has failed.
His statement of a Lexington bank
failure was perhaps as near the truth as
his declaration that 225 state banks in
North Carolina should be closed up.
Prehaps he figufes that 225 North Car
olina banks would have to be closed be
fore the situation here would parallel
that in- many of the far western states,
where during the past three and a half
years banks have closed by the thousand
under “normalcy.” North Carolina gets
no favors from the federal table so has
j had to depend largely on her own initia
tive, hence “normalcy” has not been so
effective in the state. Comparison of
the number of bank failures in North
Carolina during the past three and a
l wl ’ th any B ‘ milar Period under
the Wilson administration might be en
lightening to the people, so while Col.
Meekins is dealing so heavily in statis
tics he might give these figures.

RICHMOND SCENE OF
DESTRUCTIVE BLAZE
Fire Still Burning Early This Morning,
Bat Was Then Under Control.
Richmond, Va., Oct 13.—Damage to
the extent of $150,000 was estimated
as the toll of a fire that gutted four
buildings in the Broad Street retail dis
trict here lost night and early this
morning.
At 2 o’clock the flames were still
burning and obstinntely resisting es
! forts of several companies of firemen to"
quench them. They had been under con
trol, though, since 1.15 o'clock, after
i giving fighters a three-hour struggle.
The fire department reported the
blaze extinguished at 2:15 o’clock. Two
companies were standing by to prevent
1 further outbreaks.
Fire Captain Charles Stone, who was
knocked from a ladder by a hose nozzle
was said to have suffered minor injur
ies and was able’tS go to his home.

at one time threatened a who'e business

Ruined.
Frederickshafen,, -Oct. 12.—Colonel
Valdavia, Spanish military attache at
. Berlin, was-the worst disappointed man
who watched the ZR-3 sail for America,
and was bitter in his denunciation of the
Zeppelin officials who refused to take
him along.
Colonel Valdavia had been negotiat
ing for the trip for wgeks and is said
to have been told by Zeppelin officials
he could make the trip if the United
States government consented. As the
airship will not be American property
until delivered at Lakehuret, the United
States government is alleged to have re
plied that the Zeppelin officials alone
could decide the passenger list.
The Zeppelin officials at the last
minute denied him passage and he is re
ported to have declared that his career
was ruined, as the Spanish government
expected him to sail on the dirigible and
make observations, Which were essen
tial, as Spain was arranging to co-operate
with the Zeppelin Company in establish
ing a factory Spain.
The position of tbe United States was
that the Zeppelin Company might carry
whom it pleased if the four American
officers were not displaced.
