CougrosiZ The national political barometer is not likely to lie seriously affected by '.he off-year electtfobs to be held in pattering states today. Few state wide officers are to be chosen and few congressional elections are to fill va cancies. > In New Jersey, Arthur \yiiitney, Republican, and A. Harry Moore, Democrat, are contesting for the gov “rnorship. In Virginia, Jlyrd, the Democratic nominee for governor, is believed to be assured of election over 3. Harris Hoge, the Republican choice. In several other -states there is con siderable interest in referendums and the eleetion of legislatures. In Penh sylvania., where only one state-wide fflee is to be filled this year, the in terest is confined chiefly to county and local contests. Municipal elections will be held in numerous cities throughout the coun try and In many of them important local issues will - come up for decision, ' such as proposed changes in the form . of government, municipal ownership, and impoftant jxind issues: Os countrywide interest is the election In New York City, where the voters will choose a mayor, controller, , a presided of the board of aldermen, and five borough presidents. James J. Walker, Tammany candidate mayor, is opposed by Frank D. Wat erman, as the Republican standard bearer. BEGUN ESTATE TO PAY ITS INHERITANCE TAX Tax Will Be Paid in Wisconsin Where Traction Magnate Lived for Many Years. Milwaukee, Nov. 2. —(A*)—Full in heritance taxeß due Wisconsin from the estate of John I. Beggs, Mil waukee traction magnate, will be paid. Attorney Lawrence Olwell, one of the trustees of the trust fund, set up by the xy-ill, stated today. The announcement disposes of a theory of state, and county officials that a legal residence of the testator established in Florida, and subsequent filing of the- will in that state, was accomplished in order to defeat the collection Os the Wisconsin tax. The estate* is estimated at between $20,- 000,000 and *00,000,000. Inheritance tax based on that es etimite would bring Wisconsin be tween $3,000,000 and $5,000,000. Mr. Olwell announced that ancil lary proceedings would be started in Waukesha county ,by the filing of the will. GUERILLA WARFARE REPORTED IN SYRIA Villagers in Damascus District Join .

Hanee was a star wit ness against Gerald t'hampan in Chap man's trial for the murder of a New Britain, Conn., policeman—a trial at which Chapman was found guilty and sentenced to death. , It has been a theory of detectives that the.Hanees were killed by An derson in revenge for the conviction of Chapman, Who now is awaiting the outcome Os his appeal from the death sentence.

The message to the national po litical league states that the Arabs of Palestine struck work soday. the an niversary of the Balfour declaration of 1917, as a protest against the events at Damascus. Thet Great Awakening. Charity and Children. The south is fast coming into its own. Reports from' Washington are broadcast, that the three great rail road system running .from north to south are preparing for unprecedent ed activity in industrial development ami are arrunging for enormous out lay for equipment and general im provement in roadbeds. The Atlantic Coast Lino has double tracked much of its main line, the Southern is a .double thick line from Washington to Atlanta, and is doing the same thong for many of its other lines, while the. Seaboard, heretofore a poor and profitless railroad, is pre paring to spend more than a Hundred millions in double track and other improvements. These arc very signi ficant marks of progress. Railroads are the barometers of business eondi tions and they do not make great outlays of moneys for the fun of the thing. Keen eyed ruilroad man agers see- the tide of traffic turning this way. Not only Florida but every southern stnte feels the thrill of a new life. North Carolina was the first to enter into the spirit of the new day that has dawned. Tar, pitch and turpentine no longer constitute the chief products of .our good state. We are up and going with the best and most jirogressive states in the union. The whole south is being stirred with # this same spirit. - The stream of tourists to Florida 'has ad vertised the resources of the south. Investors who never knew this sec tion of the country are eager to put their capital here and float, on the ' rising tide of posperity that is on its way. The south is destined soon to become vastly rich. Will we be as true to our ideals under the new con ditions as wider the old? That is the great question that confronts us. There are worso things in the world than poverty. All Minor Matters. Smith and Jones were discussing the question of who should be head of the house —the man or the woman. “I am the head of my establish ment,” said Jones. “I am the bread winner. Why shouldn’t I be?” “Well,” replied Smith, "before my wife and I were married we made an agreement that I should make the ruling in all major things, my wlte iti all the minor.” > “How , has it worked?” queried Jones. < Smith smiled. . “So far,” he re plied, “no major matters have come 1 up.”' * “Now the serpent was more subtle! than any beast of the field—” began the Rev.

" Who Is To Blame? Gastonia Gazette. Archibald Johnson, editor of Char ity and Children, one of the fore most editorial writers in the State, rings ilie bell on the Cole case.

Every man in , this Slgte who,has bought, trans- ! ported, or given away a drop of liquor has acted in defiance of the ’aw. Every man who lias misrepre sented the value of his taxable pro perty has defied tbe law as flatly as tlie Cole jury could po-sibl.v have de fied it. Every man who lias driven his automobile on any State highway at more than 35 miles au hour is in tlie same boat.
