M FOR RAILROAD BOND ISSUE Commksloner. of Forsyth Asked to . uan Election on $100,000 For Ran dolph and Cumberland RyM Win5ton-Salem.-Tho" county com missloners of Forsyth will be asked to call an-election for the purpose of voUng bonds of $100,000 to be applied towards the ' construction of the Ran dolph & Cumberland Railroad. A de cision will be made at the commis sionera' meeting within a few Ldays this action comes as a result ef vigor ous and earnest effort locally, in High Point and other ' communities- which would be benefited by -the construc tion of the line. The road would ex tend from Winston-Salem to Cameron, 84 miles, and also from this city to El kin, a distance of 45 miles. The issuance of the bonds is con ditioned on their exchange for $100,- ooo of the capital stock of the Ran dolph & Cumberland Railroad that t be begun not later than January 1913. Engineers estimate that the road would cost about $20,000 a mile. The Winstoji-Salem board of trade special" railroad committee 'has con-, siaerea tne situation thoroughly and approves the movement. A petition s now being circulated asking the commissioners to call the election and t is being generally signed with fa vorable comment. - Other counties to be affected are taking similar action. Monument To Cabarrus Black Boys. A movement has been started in Concord and Cabarrus county to raise funds for the purpose of erecting a monument to the Cabarrus Black Boys, a band of patriots from this county, who performed one of the bravest deeds of the great fight for independence r ever recorded in this section by destroying a British pow der train at a time when they were practically unarmed and greatly out numbered. It is the purpose of those behind the movement to perpetuate the memory of this brave band of patriots, whose daring . deeds are yet unheralded and have never been ac corded the conspicuous place in the history of this state that they, de serve. From their deeds grew the spirit of liberty that blossomed forth into the 'Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence of May 20, 1775 Much of the . history that is recorded of the men who composed the bands of Ca barms Black1 Boys were gathered by Messrs. W. A. Foil, C. E. Boger and JT. P. Cook, especially the former from whom many of the facts are secured.

Peking. The removal of the rigor ous censorship hitherto imposed on the Chinese press is a notable sign of the times; The Chinese papers pub lish with the greatest freedom long account of the lankow massacres, giving th3 details and attributing the blame , to the Imperialists leaders for both the Hankow and Shanghai out breaks. As a consequence of these publications there is increascl ani mosity towards the Manchus. The United States and Great Brit ain have cecided to take effective measures, for the protection of their people in China in event of danger to foreigners, which, however, does not yet p.ppear probable. It is suspected that the regent's brother. Prince Tsai Suun, lias left the country, as he has nt been seen for three days. He obtained the month's leave from his post as act ing minister of the navy. A private letter from. an officer of. Yuan Shi Kai's staff says that tne rebel leader Gen.. Li YueriHeftg makes twenty-five demands, the most important of which is that the Imper ial household shall proceed to Jehol, with the entire court, including the eunuchs and shall remain there, re ceiving in return adequate pensions from the new government which is to be republican. A special secret meeting of the na tional assembly decided to telegraph Yuan Shi Kai explaining the fearfully Involved condition of the political sit uation, at Peking which required the immediate presence of the Premier. Otherwise, the assembly would ?be un able to tide over the difficulties.. A member of the assembly explains that this is a fair warning and that if Yuan does not comply, another Pre mier possibly may be appointed. Consular reports, from Mukden say many Chinese are fleeing into the country, believing the Manchus will retreat to Mukden and massacre the Chinese inhabitants. The only demand the people have made lately which the throne lias not granted is the punishment of of ficials responsible for the Hankow slaughter. Washington. - The so-called "bar barities" in Tripoli have been brought to the attention of the American gov ernment in such form that declara tion of the position c f the state de partment in the maher now is ex pected. The subject was broached first in the course of a verbal state- ment by the Turkish ambassador t Acting Secretary Adec and later in the shays of a letter- In each cote the ambassador, who declare! bo wa acrirg by express cabled instructions from the govern ment, described in Cetnil the acts at tributed to these Italian troops and protected in the name of humanity against the alleged barbarities inflict ed upon the helpless women and chil dren and non-combatants by the infur iated Italian soldiery. By orders given ..the ambassador appealing to the United States to ex ert itself to put a stop to practices that he declared, were in plain viola tion of the rules of warfare and in contravention of The Hague conven tion to which the United States and Italy "are parites. Acting Secretary Adee .promised to submit the protest to Secretary Knox, who at present is. absent from Washington. The ambassador's note was based upon a cablegram from the Turkish minister of foreign aflalre, in which were recited the alleged "wholesale execution of a great number of inhabi tants of Tripoli, perpetrated daily by the Italian military authorities. Supplementing this cablegram came another from the Turkish office later which also was transmitted to ' the State Department.. ,This Is regarded as of great importance because it for mally demands intervention by the United States. n ASHINGTON Foreshadowing the if practical completion of the Pan ama canal by July 1. 1913. the Isth mian canal commission. In its annual report, recommends congressional legislation governing canal tolls, or ganization for the operation of the canal and for government of1 the canal zone, utilization of canal revenue to pay operating expenses and to reoav the capital Invested, and other action. Expedition was urgently demanded in order to advise the commercial world of the use it may make of the great waterway, of the cost of sending ships through it and just when lt will be opened. The commission wished to give at least eighteen months' notice of the rates topermit the world's maritime interests time to readjust their routes and to build new ships and organize new transportation companies. ' It was also deemed desirable to put the canal tojise as early as possible. not oniyto secure financial returns on the enormous capital invested, but to Dr Pratt Speaks On Good Roads. Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, state geolo gist and secretary of the North Car olina Good Roads Association spoke on good roads in the court house at Concord.

Mrs. Louise Vermilya, ac cused of the murder by poisoning of Policeman Bissonette and under in vestigation in connection with the successive deaths of eight other per sons, was pronounced probably re covering after the attempt to end her life by poison. Eneregtic methods to counteract the effects of arsenic which Mrs. Vermilya cunningly contrived to mingle with her food in the presence of her guards, probably will be suc cessful,, her physicians say. Since the attempt at suicide Mrs. Vermilya has not been out of sight of one or more of the guards and every article she touches is -first examined, either by a detctive or a trained nurse.

It cost the United States 16.14 cents a day more to feed the 'American, sol dier in Alaska than lt did those sta tioned in the United States.

In the western states, where bears, mountain lions, wolves, coyotes, wildcats and lynxes are plentiful, the annual damage from wild beasts runs Into millions. Last year forest rangers killed 7,971 de structive .animals. The reports, Just out, show that 213 bears, 88 mountain lions, 172 wolves, 69 wolf pups, 6,487 coyotes, 870 wildcats and 72 lynxes fell before the rangers' guns. In addition to their efforts after ani mals that are harmful to live stock and to game animals and birds, for-. est officers have made headway against the prairie dog, which eats one thirty-second as much as a sheep. The biological survey estimates that one grown wolf will destroy about $1,000 worth of stock a year, and that the average family of wolves I will get t cattle.

DAVENPORT has an eye to the artistic, and as much as it is possible for that genial gentleman to be dis gruntled, is mightily grieved over the fact that the pension office does not look as pretty as it ought to, and nothing like as pretty as it might. Commissioner Davenport says that the pension office ought to be one of the show places In Washington," and there was a time when this was true. Now it is half -filled up with the desks, file cases and literature of the Indian of fice, which really hasn't any business there; In fact, the great court of the pension office, which until the . new government printing office was con structed ,' was the largest building in the world, all under one roof, looks more like a clutter closet so far as the- main floor Is concerned, than like a decent, respectable public building.
