April 22 Con seructfon work on the $3,00ti,000 plant Of the American Steel and Wire Com pany at Corey has teen stopped. Six hundred men are thrown out of em ployment. , ' The Amerian Steel and Wire Com pany is a -subsidiary of the United States Steel Corporation. It was ex pected to have the plant completed in August, and its operation would require about 2,500 skilled workmen, , Nine out of twenty-five blast furnaces in this district are already banked, and it is rumored that the Eosley stel roil mill was shut down April 25. Officials of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, the local branch of the Steel Corporation",' declare that cessa tion of construction work at Corey is due to the fact that the Farmers' Free Litt bill, as introduced by Chairman Oe car W. Underwood of the Ways and Means Committee, provides for admis sion to the United States duly free of hooper steel, barbed wire fencing, wire rope, staples and other products which it was planned to manufacture at the Corey plant. The charge is made here that the sec tion of the Steel Corporationln suspen ding work on the Corey plant is a di rect effoit to force Chairman Under wood to recede from his position. Un-derwo-d's home is in Birmingham, The Steel Corporation ia by far the most powerful factor in the industril life of the Birmingham district. Its invest ments total many millions. Its pay-roll includes thousands. Making a Home Run. Augle Morau, ex-ball player and umpire, was telling a story to a group of fans. There was a time when I played In the state league, and at that time on the Hazleton team there was a noted' cater. "Kid" Jordan. Well, the year that Hacleton won the pennant noth ing was too good for the boys, nnd a number of business men arranged a banquet for tbe team and a few of the dyed-in-the-wool rooters. Everything went off well, the Courses were ar ranged temptingly and called Innings,' and the table was decorated to repre sent a baseball field. ' "We had everything there was to eat, and one of the Innings was roast squab.' This was served on a platter and the vegetables arranged in the shape of a diamond. The base lines were made of creamed potatoes, and at every base there was tome vegeta ble cooked and cut In the shape of a base. .

In 1720 a terrible epidemic decimated Marseilles and Provence, and Sardinia owed Its escape to a dream. At this period the Viceroy of Sardinia dreamed that the disease bad invaded 8ardlnla and that tbe ravages were frightful When the viceroy awoke he was deeply Impressed by his dream, and a little later a merchantman put In Its ap pearance at Cagllarl and demanded a place to berth. The Sardinia refused, and when it was hinted that tbe mer chantman wanted to land some sick tbe viceroy threatened to train tbe guns of the forts upon the vessel If tbe captain did not depart Instantly, The people of Cagllarl thought that tbe viceroy was mad, but great wss their )oy later when they learned that this very, sblp, which went on to Marseilles, was responsible for Introducing tbe plague into tbe famous port As the Tw'o Is Bnt On Long's peak.

Berger," Socialising, Introduces Eesolution Gives Congress Power. Washingl.on April 21 Victor L Ber g'er, the lone Socialist in Congress, in troduced a resolution providing that "Congress shall have power by a ma jority vote of both houses to call a con vention for the purpose of reviamg or amending the Constitution." "Our Constitution," said Mr. Berger, ''ia antiquated, obsolete ard rea ly in hind, slice to any reasonable growth in our !u''iic life, and therefore it phould be riiam rd. Our present Constitution' ai framed at a lime when the nation w a horn and when the country had ab .ui. three million inhabitants. At that time the people were in the main hunters and farmers in arms, ith a small merchant class in New York, Philadelphia and Boston, and cotton planters in the South. "Since that time tremendous e icon omic changes have taken place, b t we are still living under a constitution made for hunters and farmers. A Con stitution is a cloak for a Lo ly otitic and must suit the requirements i the time. There is no example in h; tory wherein a grownup nation has been compelled to wear the swaddling cl the: of childhood. " J.ipa:i::'B roh'.anssc.

Preparing For Harvest Time. Now is the time the fanners of the state are preparing for the harvest time, which nvsns the money they shall realize and vp"n which their living depends. Butv.hat sha'l it be? To no inconsiderable m-'as ure it depends upan what kind of seeds are sown. Often absolute failures are caused by planting poor seed that wi 1 nut grow or, still worse, set d that i badly adulterated with Berinu weeds,' which entirely ruin the land for cer'ain agricultural purposes, often upon which the farmer most depends. That there is a great difference in the faim seeds sold in the Btate is for cibly shown by the difference in the re sul'S of the analyses made at the Seed Testing Laboratory of the Department of Agriculture, co-operating with the United States Department. For extm pie, the results of the 121 tests of Rid Clover seed made this Spring by th? Seed Laboratory range d all the way from 50 per cent to 99.6 per cent. Pure seed and from 20 per cent to 97 pr cent' germination.- Some cont lined no weec' seed at all, while others contained mire tha-i 00,000 to the pound, Some samples contained more than 50 per cent of Dodder or Love vines, which i the worst of all pet.U that occur in Clover and Alfalfa.. This great d.ffer ence in the quality of seeds li not. only true in case of Red Clover but of all lh farm seds. Not only the loss of money paid for seed, which li really a ftnnll item, but the failure to obtain crops can be pre vented by knowinglhe value of the eed which is planted. The Department will make testa of an agi (cultural and vege table seed for any farmer in the State free of charge nnd reports will be stnt to him promptly. , in case the seed doef not -come up to the standard of good seed the lot may be returned to the dealer from whom it was purchased and the money refunded or a good q iclity of seed given in exchange, which ver the purchaser r'eiirea. - In submit Irg samples te be l su-d, for the em: 'ler seeds, such aa Itisd Clover and the g as aes, one half of a tea cup will be s fft eient: for the larger seeds, such as -h cereals, more should, be rent. .

Mr. Oj(len spoke on rural co op eration, as'did Count Carl Moltke, of Denmark and several pronvnenc South ern educators. There were 500 delegates present, representing every part ot the South. Another speaker was Dr. Paul Ritter, Swi3s Minister to the United States. Mr. Ogdcn in the course of his re marks said: "My annual message is one of cour age and of hope. Never since we be gan our work have these annual meet ings marked a backward step. We are one out of many influences working to ward a common end, contributing as we can by definite work and the creation of a living spirit, by bringing into fi 1- iowship kindred souis with common ed ucational aims, by holding out the sym pathetic hand to all brothers and sisters in the faith of representative govern ment, nnd in I bo welfare of the people seeking for the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. "The special points that I desire to make are; 'First An appreciation of the beau ty, the dignity, the responsibility of the individual, the 'I.' as an incentive for a constantly enlarging service.

If a woman talking to some. one turns her shoul ders slightly from tiliu nnd then glances hack the line of the throat Is always good. For myself 1 have nt nil times thought the delicate line from the tip of a woman's car to tbe tip of her shoulder one of the most exquisite of the feminine body. Many artists, I believe, would agree with me. So re member what 1 say. dear Indies do not spoil or hide that lovely contoul with blph linen collars or boning. Wea" low collars, or if these are not becoming to you at least dress your throats comfortably. Always carry the chin high. If while you are stUl quite young (mi c;in remember to thrust the chin upward and forward not to nn bsurd degree, of course you will not with advauclng years have to fear those soft rolls of flesh above the col lar that add so inu h to u woman's ap parent age.

Oiear Braniff and Eaquival Obrpgon of Meico City, who have been trying to get Madero to accept peace proposals, received a telegram calling off all negotiations. The message came just after they had sent a messenger under a flag of trucu with a final ap peal to the rebel leader. The message was from Mexico City, although they refused to say who sent it. It informed them that thedemanda f Madero weie such that they could not be entertained. Already the two volunteer peace commisionera had giv en up hope and had issued a state nent throwing the blame for failure on Ma dero. v Simultaneously with the receipt of the telegram from Mexico City the in aurrecto troops began to march out of the hills and canyons by the hundreds and move closer to Juarez, as if pre paring for an attack.

That doctrine was not only good , in Patrick Henry's day but will hold good toriay. ' In considering the question whether or not it i best to establish a Record er's Coui t for the c lunty of Craven, the first inquiry that should be made. by an honest voter is, "where has it been tried in North Carolina and what is it doing." I In amwer to the firtt question we will say that the Recorder's Court -hi now in operation in Elizabeth City, Bel haven, Washington, Aurora, Plymouth, Wilmington, Fayettexille, Goldsboro, Tarboro, Rocky Mount, Nashville, Dur ham, Burlington, Monroe, Greensboro, High Point, Winston Salem, Charlotte, Asheville and other places. No town or county that has ever established a Recoider's Court has ever abolished it. These courts are still in operation' in Greensboro and High Point, although it has been falsely stated that they have been abolished. In answer to the second question, we will refer the reader to the many letters that have been published in these col umns from Mayors, Sheriffs, Chaimen of County Commissioners, Chiefs of Po lice and prominent men from all over the State who unhesitatingly state tha,t tiese courts have not only been self sustaining but have annually paid large sums of money into the towns and eounties in which they have been estab- i;v.j iiaiiY-u. j They have told how the Superior Court Dockets have been relieved of congestion, how the jails are practical. ly empty, no prisoners waiting fer trial and how witnesses, instead of banging; an-uid the court house for weeks will give their testimony in the Recorder's Court in as few hours or if they are summoned to appear at the court house as witnetses or jurors they get through by Tuesday night.

Washington, April 22 The retirement of Captain Worth G. Ross, the com mandant of the Revenue Cutter Service haa precipitated the liveliest struggle among the senior captains of the ser vice for bis position. Captain Ross' re tirement goes into effect on May 1. Of the 87 captains in the service no less than 12 nre active candidates to succeed Captain Ross. Among them are Captain W, EL Reynolds, who is now stationed at Baltimore aa superin tendent of construction and repairs, and Captain li. O. Crisp, a member nf the well-known Baltimore family of that name. Roth Captains It nnoMs and Crisp have excellent record. In deed, Secretary MacVeagh, who must make thf. final appointment, is embar rassed in his choice because of the uni form excellence of all the candi dates. S The captainB of the Revenue Cutter Service are constantly on duty, and op portunity is furnished them every day to test their ability, so that the record of the captains cannot fail to furnish the testimony of their efficiency. The new office to which the candida-. tes aspire requires, however, in addi tion to seamanship, a high order of ad ministrative ability, and the only ques tion that confronts the Secretary is the selection of the candidate who is most likely to make the beat administrative officer. All the candidates have many strong supporters in Congress. Captain Rey nolds is supported by Senators Martin and Snanson and Senator John Walter Smith, of Maryland, has also indorsed him.
