P1CKARD T TP IN Maine, at least, the oil acan KJ dais apparently have not hurt the k Republican party ?erloualy', Neither did the klan Issue, which the Demo crats sought to malfe predominant there, ^perafe as they expected. In last Week's election, when the largest vote In the history Of the Mat* ^as cast, the Q. O. P. won a decisive vic tory. Ralph O. Brewster .defeated W. R. Pattangall for ithe governorship rj ?> by abont 86,000 votes, v and united , States Senator R, si. FernaJkJ wr.s re elected, having a plurality of nearly 50,000 over F. J.' Redman. The four Republican congressmen rvfere a^l re turned, and t^e state legislature re ' ". njaliis Wafel/ Republican in both . , branches. Brewster was- supported by the klan, while Pattangall Was the man Who of fered to the Democratic national con J die klan nation the plank denouncife^ by /name.

Any at 5?Lrtempt to prove anything else by the election , figures ta not justified by facts, as the history of Maine elections clearly shows, !V:'v*Tharv election- \fj?m a Democratic i . ' standpoint Is h vlttory. "thd Demo . i. cratlc nominee for governor was de feated by 80,000 votes less than In k, V 1920, the last Presidential year, in the ? face1* of the fact that the vote this jC '? .year was' approximately 40,000 larger than in that yedr. In 'other words, the , gains have been tremendous and Jhe J loss to the Republicans jJ50 per cent In' ? the matter of plurality. A change of , anything like, similar percentages In the country would mean a clean Dem ocratic sweep." r PRIMARIES werel held In a number \ of states la^t week. In Michigan the Republicans renominated Senator James pouxens, Who,' though he led the attick on Secretary of the Treas ury Mellon in the. last session of con gress, had announced that he would support Coolldge and Dawes. A. J. jOroesbeck was nominated for a third term as governor! Mortimer Q>oley was unopposed for the Democratic senatorial nomination, and Edward Frensdorf was put up for governor. Republicans pf Massachusetts noml & nated Speaker Frederick H. Gtllett ' y'-'for the senate; and he will be opposed f . by Senator, David I. Walsh. In Colo jf*. ? rado the klan won the Republican ' prlriary. for it supported both Rice W *.>?, Means, nominated for the short term In the United Stntes .senate, and Judge1 Clarence J. Morley, the nominee for governor. In Arizona the feubernato ^Ylal nomination* were Dwight B.. beard, Republican, and Gov. G. \V. P. iO. Hunt, Democrat ; in Washington they ?were R. H. Hartley, Republican: Ren Q-; F. Hill, Democrat, and J. R. Oman, jfo&j Farmer-Labor. Senator Joseph E. K ji;< Ransdell was renominated by the Lou v -l Islana Democrats, and In South Caro iVf Una the Incomplete returns Indicate that they have' named former Gov. An Colt Bleaso for the senate. Senator .Harris of Georgia easily defeated for mer Senator Hardwlck. WILLIAM ALU'S* WHITE, famous editor of the Einpnrln Gazette, thinks the Republican nominee (*>r the governorship, Ben S. Paulen. has '"practically . allied the Republican ?party In Kansas with the Ku Klux klan." and therefore lie lias sent out Independent nomlnatinc petitions to place his name on the November hal lo^ as candidate for covernor and that dg-Wate Senator Carr for llen Javernor, He says he dcnlres ; Gr I'M ter imfi K ttM nubile sentiment. *%, T m tUDGE CAVERLY'S decision In tho J cupe of Leopold nnd I.oeb, the Chi cago murderers, u waited with Intense Interest ;by the entire nation, was ren der^ on Wednesday^ and may be con sidered a Victory for sentimentullsm. The young men' were sentenced to llt^ Imprisonment on the churgp of mur dering Robert Franks and to 99 years on the charge of kidnaping for ran som. In a carefully written statement the Judge said that In choosing Impris onment Instead of death, he was moved chiefly by the consideration, of the age of the defendants, who are eighteen and nineteen years old. But these self-confessed perpetrators of ? most revolting crime are admittedly mentally developed beyond their years. Opinion as to the wisdom of the court,'* decision is divided. Many editors and persons who have to do with the enforcement of the law be lieve the killers should have been hanged. Many educators and minis ters, being opposed to capital punlsty ment, are therefore In accord with the decision. There are two dangers in volved in the matter. One is thnt the murderers may at some time be re leased on parole, though Judge Cav erly urged that this be not done. The other is In the efTeqt the decision may have on the mind of the mnsseB, for these boys are the sons of immensely wealthy citizens. . Whether or not juflge Caverly erred on the side of mercy, there Is not the slightest reflec tion on" his integrity. But the state's attorney voiced We opinion of many when he said the escape of these fill ers from the noose win . make more difficult the already .hnrd task of pro tecting life In Chicago. ; >. " OUR "Air Mdg^llans," as the J head writers Relight to call them, ari safe in the United States again, and Indeed almost at the end ot their glebe-encircling flight at the time of writing. After ,stops in Boston and on Long Island, where they were wel comed by Immense throngs, they flew to Wu*hlngt<Sn and were received on iBolling field by President and Mrs. Coolidge, the cnhlnet and innumer able other dignitaries, who waited ch?*rfulty for hours in a hard rain. The aviators were^kept at the capital for Defense day and then flew to Day ton. Tbelr route take* them by way of Chicago, Omaha and Texas to San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Eugene, Ore. WHILE the Cheklang and Klangsu armies , continue their bloody struggle 'for possession of Shanghai, with varying fortunes, the civil war in China has spread to the region about Peking. General Chang, war lord of Manchuria, having declare!) wat4.on the' central government becuusd it: is backing the Kiangsu forces, Ik report ed to have started six armies, of 30,000 men each, on the way to attack the capital. Chang has had leaflets scattered among the Cheklang troops urging them to hold on and promising .nld. The Peking cabinet has been taken over by a military council qnd the minister of finance Is busily rais ing war funds. The Shanghai mer chants telegraphed the Peking banks not to lend the government any money. Though the dispatches from the Shanghai front are somewhat confus ing, It appears that the. Cheklang forces defending the city are getting rather the better of the fighting. Towhrd the end of the week they hnd taken three towns near Tnlhu lake and were engaged In a flerte battle with the Kiangsu army In the vicinity of Ihang. ninety miles from Shanghai. In other sectors of tho front the light ing was halted by torrential rains. Japnn lias declared It has no Inten tion of Intervening In China's domes tic row, but It Is anxiously watching America and England, for there are reports of Interchanges between Wash ington nnd London that Indlcnte that positive measures are being consid ered. The Japanese press hints that America Is In sympathy with Gen. Wu Pel-Fu, the ralllthry chieftain ot Pe king. Gen*, gregorio ferrara is lending a rebel movement In Hon duras that Is causing a lot of trouble. | Two American cruisers are already at I Celbn and have landed forces, and an I other Is on the way from Panama. The American charge d'affaires, Stoke Iry \V. iforgan. hag warned T'errnra that Washington will recognize no rov , eminent set up my him unless the warring factions .reach a settlement and that a pcuqf conference Is Impos sible unless be ceases h|s advance on the city of San Pedro. Ecuador, too, has a revolutionary attempt and the rebels have named as their leader Doctor Arlzuga, acting minister to Brazil and former minis ter to the United States. In Chile the officer^ of the army have seized control of the government und under pressure President Alessan drl resigned. Hut jthe senate rejected the resignation and gave him six months' leave of absence. He jvent to Argentina and from there will go to Ejirope. DESPITE the opposition of th'e rabid pacifists, Defense day, Sep ' tember 12, was generally observed throughout the country with enthu siasm. The government estimated that 50,000,000 persons participated In the tests, demonstrations and celebrations. Originally intended to give the o filters of the reserve army an opportunity to show how much they knew about organising and handling troops in quick time, the test was voluntarily expanded into a demonstration of mo bilization in Other ways and was made to include thousands of patriotic cele brations. In the evening General Pershing delivered a radio address on preparedness. Next day he -pas fe tired from active service, -?General Hln'es succeeding him as chief of staff. PLANS for taking over the control of the disarmament of Germany are being prepared by the League of Nations council. This v.'lll please Ger many, for the operations of the inter allied mission aroused much 111 idl ing there. The league will also over see the disarming of Hungary, Aus tria and Bulgaria. Prance's plan for 'arbitration, dis armament and security was submitted to the Ueague assembly. It provides for: ' 1. Compulsory arbitration, of all dis putes. ' 2. Strict enforcement of the treaties of Versailles, Trianon, Neulllyi and St. Germain. 5. The definition of an aggressor as a party refusing to arbitrate or accept the decision of arbitrators. ' 4. France's pledge to take, part In military sanctions against an of fender. 1 6. The definition of what aid the other powers shall give by placing them In certain categories. 6. The malnetnance of existing re gional treaties and the preservation of the little entente. ? Both British and French' delegates indirectly Invited Germany' to apply for admission ''to the league, but it probably will not do go for some time, especially If the/Nutlbnallsts Insist on the sending by Berlin of the note denying Germany's war guilt. This note was the price of the Nationalists' support of the Dawes plan laws in the relchstag and Its dispatch was prevented only by the warm protest of the diplomatic representatives of the allies In Berlin. Monslgnor FanollI, premier of Al bania and Its delegate at Geneva, sternly upbraided the league for talk Ipg so much ubout peace while doing nothing to preserve It. In the course of his speech he denounced the Dawes plan as the most colossal bubble }hat history has produced. "It Is," said he, ^a tortuous, complicated, diabol ical, Infernal concoction of bubbles. It Is bound to end like all the minor bubbles that we are hatching here. It Is too complicated to work. It may secure a vice presidential chair for its author, but It will produce very little In reparations." GEN. rniMO DE RIVERA. director of Spain, and his troops aije hav ing a hard time In Morocco and may be Involved In disaster. At 'last re ports they had retreated to Tetuan and there the rebellious Riff tribes men were fast hemming them In.

S, 546 MHOS III NORTH GAROL1NA OVER TWO HUNDRED TH0^8AND MORE MACHINES THAN TEN YEARS AGO. Raleigh. The number of registered automo biles and trycks In?jLho state of tfrth Carolina has Incr^ualfri by 274,157, with in flio past ten years', the 1914 registra tion (jeing 11,389 and the 1924 registra tion being 285,546, according to the bi ennial report of the secretary of state made here by W. N. Everett. The total amount of taxes collected ou motor and gasoline sales by the depart ment since 1911 was stated to be $20. 038,109.45. The report also shows that the amount collected by the department for the registration and transfers was {98,040.32 on November 30, 1014, while on Judo 30, 1924, the .collections for the same purposes were $3, 975,058. 37. 1 Gasoline tax collected for the ye,ar sndlng June 30, 1923, was stated' to be 1838,724.67, while tax collected on June 30, 1924, was $3,9T9,855.40. During tho past two years the sec retary's office has issued 2,405 domes tic charters for corporations for which !t collected $199,222.47, while within the same period certificates have been Is sued to 16 foreign corporations for which fees totalling $16,076 have been collected. Since 1922, 65 banks have filed with the ofTice, 63 trade marks have been registered and live railroads have been granted charters, says the report. Land ^-ants numbering 113 have been Issued since 1922, the report states, on which payments amounting to $4,233.87 havo, been received. According to the tabulated list of the report the entire departments un der the secretary, of state have paid Into the treasury for 1922-23, $5,319, ? 356.55, and fqr the year 1923-24, $7,386, 201.27 or a total of $12,695,647.82, since 1922.. , ' ./ Boll Weevil Damago Slight. . With the dust poisoning season for the control of the boll weevil at an end, it is estimated that since the season started ill the middle of July, approxi mately 500 tons, of calcium arsenate have been used in North Carolina in the fight on tho pest of cotton, accord ing to Franklin Sherman, chief ofthe division of Entomology for the experi ment station and extension service. This amount Is Bald to be smaller than had been expected. The lack of neces sity to use more of the poison was at tributed to the avorable turn In the weather. The mater of tiie exact time to be gin the use of dust poison and when to end. varies according to the age of the cotton and the degree o fthe Infesta tion, it was pointed out by Mr. Sher man. - It was added that no absolute calendar rule could be laid down. The fact that the field Workers of the ex tension service and the experiment station have been teaching tie farmers how to Jtidge those conditions, was said tay Mr. Sherman, to have greatly In creased the efficency of their dusting and to have saved much waste of the poleon. / "Instances have been- related to me this season, w"hore a rather high per centage of the squares were being punctured by . the weevil beforb dust ing, and a few days later after a thor ough dusting had been given the plant, the percentage of punctured square? had been greatly lessened," said the chief entomologist, "whoreas in cotton left undusted. for comparison, the per centage had risen steadily. "The turn to drier weather helped greatly against the weevil in the bet ter part of July, the weevil grubes ho ing killed by the heat and dryness. By keeping watch on tho infestation the farmers can take advantage ot thc^e helps by doing less dusting." County Agenti Busy In August, Touching nearly all phases of .farm life, the county farm agents of the State College Extension Division have spent a busy time during the mon'.h ot August. In a number of counties, out door encampments for club boys and girls were held in co-operation with the' homo r.j;ent. These are reported as being unusually successful this year. Tho club members havo boen given courses of Instruction, have re ceived some physical training and have enjoytd a period of relaxation ind recreation before returning to their school duties. The agents have used the specialists of the College and Department in holding these encamp ::icnt3 and regular demonstrations and ?octures have been a i>art of the In structional work. 1 New Charters Issued.

GRAVEYARD HAD ITS INCEPTION IN JOKE Man's Jesting Proposal Car ried Out by Companion s. On the great Witrner ranch In San Diego county, Cultf., a few miles from the hot springs resort, Is a little clys ter of seven graves. Tliey are just off the frequently traveled road leading to Montezuma and San Felipe valleys, but are not visible from the road and very few of the residents of that sec tion are aware of their existence. No fence surrounds them, and but for a few fragments of a single marble slab they would not be noticed by a pedes trian who might walk over them. But In tlje origin of this little bury ing ground Is a story of throbbing In terest. The graves are on a kn<?H a few hundred feet back of the old But terfleld stage station In Buena Vista valley, one of the stopping places of what was the longest stage line In the world, extending from St. Louis to San Francisco, In operation before the Glvll "Var. , Through the middle part ?f the little Buena Vista valley runs & clenaga with a line of large cottonwood trees, af fording water and shade to some of the many thousand sleek cattle whltjh range the big ranch, says the Los An geles Times. The stage station, built of adobe, with wooden Vlean-to ' and porches, was not only patronized by cross-country travelers, but was also a resort r for the prospectors who thronged that region In the early dhys, and the cattlemen who looked after the herds in the surrounding territory. Saturday night always found a crowd of these rough-and-ready frontiersmen gathered at the station, where they spent fre evening swapping stories, gambling, drinking ahd carousing gen erally. On the Sunday morning fpHowlng a particularly -wild .carousal, when all were partly stupefied from the night's drgy, some one remarked : "Well, we hone about everything there was to do last , night, but If anybody can start anything new we will do It now." i Said another, stretching himself and yawning: "Well, the only thing I can think of that we did not do was to start a graveyard." "That's right," said the first speaker. "We did not do that, but we'll <to .it right now, and you'll be the one we'll start it with." The new idea was welcomed by. au except the one who suggested It; A range rider produced a rope, and the ylctlm was escorted to a large syca more tree a few hundred feet from the house. The rope was thrown over a limb; and. as they thought, adjusted about the man's neck so as not to strangle him ? for no one realty Intend ed to take his life. ; Then lie was hanled up Into the air, and with much hilarity the rest of the company went Into the house to, breakfast, leaving the unfortunate victim of their practical Joke helplessly dangling. Returning to the sycamore tree after breakfast to release their companion from his uncomfortable position, they found him dead. In their befuddled condition they had bungled in adjusting the rope, and he had been choked to death.1 Aftfer they had cut the body down and It was evident life could not be re stored, a consultation was held,,and It was decided, without Inquest or other official action, to bury the body/ It was taken to the top of the knoll *>ack of the stage station, and then and there the graveyard was started, as Its first occupant bad suggested. Vegetable Sponge Edible In Algeria an extensive Industry has been developed In the cultivation of what are known as vegetable sponges. The ch|ef market for the product is Paris, although specimens are not un- j common in the United States. They have come into extensive use for the toilet, the bathroom and various other domestic purposes. s Prior to maturity the fruit Is edible, but when the stage of ripeness has boen passed the fibrous matter be comes separated from the pulp ,and ?forms a tough, spongy mass. The ma terial is prepared for the marketby be ing bleached It) a weak llm^ bath.? Grit. Canada's Cold Production , Louis D. Huntoon, former profes sor of mining and metallurgy a't Tale university, predicts that within a few years Canada will surpass the United States In gold production. He points out that since 1915 Canada's output has Increased rapidly, while in the United States It has undergone a steady decline. Canada's gold produc tion In 1923 was valued at $25,204,000. and he expresses the opinion that this year It will rise to $30,000,000. Hit Chance "Don't you think that If I had lived In the olden days I would have made a good knight?" asked the young man who had bored her for hours descrlb- j ing a cinema pli-'.re he had seen. "I d j't care so much what you j would have made then," observed the i girl, wearily, "but you might try to | see what kind of a good night you j can make now." Ingenioui Squirrel At Epplng. N.
