A social from Washington ays: As has been stated in this corres pondence this weak Representative Begg, cf Ohio, and ontherj ozi Capi tol bull were trying to ease Elmer Dom a step or two ahead of Blair. The Washington Po?-t of today car ried a long list of names of allegi A Democrats who were serving under Vlair. A check-up today shows thai 39 of the most prominent ones mentioned declared themselves Po pulisms on their application' blanks for their government positions. For instance, C ?.!. Justice, a Tar Heel Republican of the mossbacked va riety, was charged wUU being a Democrat. Justice was taken into the revenue service years ago bv Col. W. H. Chapman, and rendered himself very unpopular In the State because of his partisan activities He admitted today that he was vlr tually compelled to leave the State because of his Republicanism. C 1 onel Chapman wa3 appointed by President Graft. Gilmer Korncr another Republican, was described as a Democrat Thl3 Is a fair sample of t'.ie charges that were made around here sub rosa until Mr, Begg brought them into the opem by pie seating a list of the so-called Demo cratic hold-overs to the President. Two North Carolina Democrats ap peared in the list. Ode was Terry A. Lyon, brother of Representative Lyon, an attorney for the depart ment. He was transferred from the war department. It is understood that some of, his old war friends se cured his appointment. Miles KItchin, soa. of Represen tative Claude Kitchin, is another Democrat named. -Several North Carolina Republi cans itu minor jobs were mentioned. Messrs. Lyon and Kitchin are very capable for the work assigned to them. Blair declined to make m tatemcct today. What Mr. Mellon said was a plenty for him. Is the latitude of this place chan. Ing?

Burton A Prominent Citizen no doubt grown to look upon the ! earths "belt" and Its axis as Immov able lines, even though they are im aginary. But an astronomer In Lon don was quote? the other day as as serting that the distance between N'a- Lplea, Italy, ut? the equator has been .shortened by it mile and a half (Turin; the past 51 yeurs, and that lreetwlel has nppnrently moved hulf h mile to ward the tropics In less than two dec uiles. The possibility of such change in latitude Is discussed In the following bulletin from the Washing ton headquarters of the National Geo- graphic society; "There Is no question that latitude chance, out there 1.4 a very Jirjr que tion whether the eh-mg.'s are of an considerable magnitude and whether they continue for any grout length OFF OF THE PAYROLL TRIO AT COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, ELECTROCUTED A special from Columbia, S.

Fox were electrocuted at the ptuitewtiay thi3 morning short ly after 6 o'clock for the murder of William Brazell, Columbia, taxi-cat) driver, near Leesville, oa the night of August 7, last. .

Gap pins went second and Fox the.'Iact the entire procedure consuming 4 minutes. Fox and Gappins made laic statements in which they warn ed young men against bad company and evil conduct. The imminence of death appeared to have but little effect upon the three men and they went through the even tenor of their routine day yesterday, eating heartily and talk ing apparently as usual The threes men went to bed at 10 o'clock last night and early this morning bad been sleeping undisturbed from that hour. ATTEMPT TO ROB GOLD TRAIN WAS UNSUCCESSFUL A special from Calexico, Calif., says: Francisco Garcia and four of lis followers are dead, seven were wounded and four soldiers of the Mexican army were killed and nine wounded In a fight resulting from zn attempt to hold up a Southern Pa cific train laden with $430,000 in gold "bullion.' , The money was en route from a point In the State of Nayarit. Mox., to Maiatlant, Sinaloa, for ahlpment to the First National Bank of Los Angeles. The attempt at robbery was made at dawn. Boys Palm Beach suits, white duck pants, and wash suits for the L':t:e fenow. Seaers,- XTt'.9 & c " - time In the snute direction. The varia tions that have been established are line to a slight wabbling of the earth. like that of a top which Is not spinning evenly around Its axis.' This Irreg'itar Ity does not change the direction of the axis Itself, but does change the point on the earth's surface (the pole-point) from which the axis emerges. By such changes most points on the earth would have their positions altered with reference to the poles and to the equa tor, which Is always 1)0 degrees from the pole-point and therefore follows it In any movement which It makes. What the Wabbles Do. "If the earth's simplest possible ro tatlon had had a single wabble added to It, the pole-point would trace a closed path ; that Is, it would return to the same position again and again after the completion of definite, equal periods. But there, artrat least two distinct an4 unequjikivflbbles known: one completed ttfa year, and one in about fourteen months. Their combi nation causes the pole-point to wunder In a rather uneven way, tracing lines that are very roughly ellptlcal and which cross and recross each other. Hut these two known wahbles nm-te only a very slight variation from a feteady rotation; the 'wanderings' of the pole-point because of them are be lieved to be always within a circle 00 feet across. The latitude of any city would be changed, therefore, because of these two recognized wabbles of the earth, at most only 30 feet north or south of Its mean position. : "There are other possibilities, how ever, in regard to change of latitude. One Is that there are other as yet un recognized wabbles extending over longer periods which cause the pole-1 point to wander in circles or elipses that mafrbe larger than the GO-foot cir cle. "Whether there is a progressiva change of latitudes has long Interest ed astronomers. In 1900 the Interna tional Latitude Service was formed and a string of six stations was es tablished, forming a band around the world, all within a few feet of the par allel of north latitude, 39 degrees S minutes. These stations were situat ed In Japan, Russian Turkestan, Sar dinia, Gaithersburg, Md., Cincinnati, O., and Uklah, Cal. Observations wer made at all the stations for 14 years. The stations In Turkestan and at Gaithersburg were closed at the end of 1914, and the International latitude work was discontinued at the Cincln natl station at the end of 1913. The remaining three stations are continu ing the observations. Little Chance in Million Year. "The Information assembled by the International Latitude S.-rytce has been Interpreted In various ways. The changes In latitudes observed were Very small and it is recojulzed tlmt the possibilities of error due to Im perfect instruments. Inaccuracies In star declinations, and the human equa tion, were many. One careful analysis ry the United States cont and geo detic survey, however, s actus fo Indi cate that the pole-point Is shirtini progressively southward towaid the continent of North America. This would mean that. In effect, the clilej of the United States are movli.g slow- ly to the north. You need bare little wony. thonch. over the likelihood that the North pole will turn up some day In o jr bn.-k yard. Even tlipugh one heefci on erous with assumptions and aaainnea that there is a southward noveiaent of the pole-point and that It will en- tlnue steadily. Its slownem rnaku the assumed shift almost nejcllflhle. The analysis referred to seem t l.id: -ate a southward drift of the ri afjc.t. ing to a trifle over alx Ihsm a venr This would amount to !e than one mile In 10,000 years.

COURflSIN SESSION TOURIST IS BEST LIVING PERSON IN ALL GERMANY The attitude of the Germans to the "valuta rich" foreigners is assuming a controversial character, and discus sions as to the pros and cons of the matter are appearing with increasing frequency in the German press. Like every -problem, this aU'o has two sides, a fact that is fully realized by the Ger mans themselves,-who, with absolutely nothing iniini- ai or racially hostile in tl!"ir attitude, are asking themselves where things are ging to end if the invasion of foreigners Increases in the same ratio th? mark 'decreases.. Tiiey know their poverty stricken country would suiter Inexpressibly if foreis'ir' were discriminated against to an extent which would keep theni out of the country, but, on the other hand, the invasion Is sending tlie prices up so high that the 'Germans are beginning to find theniselves barrd from many of their former pleasures and diversions. For instance, the thrifty German who nlwiys arranged his household budget So ! hat every member of the family could take the "air cure" so dear to the. heart of the German, Is now read lng with dismay that hundreds of thousands of Americans, abme are ex pected to be emptied Into Germany through the northern ports, to say nothing of the hordes that will sweej down from the Scandinavian countries and Holland. The American army will march across Germany to beautiful Bavaria and there proceed to spread Itt-elf in the picturesque villages and hamleM, to the exclusion of the native population. The German has a vision of himself and his family crowded Into their now shrunken Berlin apart ment, while the stranger appropriates bis favorite haunts and lives on the fat of the land.

B. Mor gari chairman of the information and quarters committee: "Working steadily for weeks, we Lave Il'rted so far only 6,000 nob ble reservations? We have noth'rg on which we can base an estimate as to the possible number of veter ans and other visitors to the re union. Some well-informed persons assure me that this number is rot only too small, but absolutely insig nificant If this proves true, we r'll be swamped." A special from Orlando, F'a savs: Declaring that there Is no place for "an invisible empire within the United States and charaj- terizlrig the usurpation of govern mental functions by the Ku Klux Klan or any other Organization as destined to do an inestimable wrong to society, Uniited States Judge He rv D. Clayton assailed the policiei and principles of such societies in the fiery phraseology today in p.n address before the Florida State Bar Association. "It is true." Judge Clayton, said, "that the people have the right to revolutionize or change their gov ernment whenever they see fit to do so, but it Is qul'e a different thiig for this set o; men or that set or men to undertake outside the law to declare that the government Is in efficient and to arrogate to them selves the power to furnish supple mental remedies." There is ro place. the speaker j continued, "for an invisible empire within the United States, nor ar.y reason for clan or gang to do a.7 part of the business of governing or correcting or punishing citizens. A secret organization for such pur poses is reprehensible notwithstano lng avowals of its members that thev have sworn to uphold the consi"tn tion of the United States." Jobu II.

Nash- SOUND PHILOSOPHY, Sometimes the rarest gems ot philosophy originate from the old- time Southern darkey, of which ev ery town may contain one or mor;1. The North Carolina Christian Advo cate this week tells of one bred in Dixie, brought up In the corn and cotton fields of the South, rich if homely wit of his race. This old darkey has given out a rare bit ot advice in the following: Jes' be what you is. If you Is xtot what you am. Then you am not what you is. If you're just a little tadpole. Don't try to be a frog; If you're Just the taiL Don't try to wag the dog. You can always pass the plate. If you can't extort and preach. If you're just a little pebble, Don't try to be the beach. Don't be what you ain't. Jes' be what you Is. Charlotte Observer. A Berlin cable says: The presen-ia of troops of a "lower civilization under the conditions of military oc cupation is undesirable not only in the Rhineland' but anywhere, in the opinion of Major General Henry T. Allen, commander-in-chief of the American army of occupation, as ex pressed by him in conference with the American press representatives at the embassy. He was being ir terview regarding ciegro troop un;ts on the Rhino. General Allen expressed the hope that shortly no troops at all would be required on the Rhine. He de clared the occupation of the Rahr was "too terrible to think of Hnd a move that nobody wants. "Evei the French do not want to occupy he Ruhr except in case of dire ne cessity," General Allen asserted, mo Intimated that the danger of disor der in case of such occupation was too great for it to be lightly contem plated. As regards the withdrawal of the American troops from the Rhine. General Allen said he had n idea how long the remaining contin gents would stay.'
