CUMNOCK SUFFERERS
What Has tie London-HenSzey
Co. Done for the Unfor-
Inmates?
MAYOR RUSS INTERVIEWED

He Visited Cumnock and Talked With
the People in Their Homes---Com-
pany Starts Subscription With the
Magnificent Donation of Five Dollars
---Some Get Charity in Ten-Cent
Lots, Others Get None at All.
The heart of the State has been
touched by the suffering at Cumnock.
And the sorrow has not stopped at
tears. 1t has gone deeper down into
the pocket-books; and the sweet spirit
of charity has lowered over this scene
of trouble and want.
The people of Raleigh and the State
have done well their part. Yesterday
Mr.. John T. Pullen sent another check
for 1925 to the Cumnock committee;
this makes for Raleigh, 1925 in cash,
more than 500 in provisions, besides
what the original solicitors collected.
The people have been liberal.
But the people have asked, time and
again, and they ask now, more than
ever:
What has the company done?"
Have the mine-owners done their
part?"
And, like Banquo's ghost, the ques-
ton will not down.
The News and Observer yesterday
received this letter:
WHAT HAVE THE MINE-OWNERS
DONE?
TO the editor: l have been very
much pleased by the effort made by
the News and Observer to arouse an
interest in the Cumnock sufferers and,
also pleased at the response made by
the churches, white and colored, as
| well as that made by individuals and
firms. But there is one feature about
the matter which | do not understand
and | therefore call upon you for in
formation. What has been done for
| those sufferers by the company that
owns the mine? | have seen no ac-
count of any help given by them. If
| they have done what humanity and
business relationship with the unfor-
| Inmates requires, it should, in justice
| be mentioned. If on the other hand,
| they have done nothing, OF next to
nothing, then the public should know
| it and the press should expose them.
| Respectfully,

NJ. c. ROAD ON TAX LIST.
Attorney Manning Congratulates Gov
erner Carr That at Last Every Road
in the State is Subject TO Taxation.

IN the State is SuDIect 10 aSaton.
The North Carolina Railroad is on
the tax list at last.
BY the terms of the charter, the ac-
ton of the directors in the meeting
at Burlington Tuesday, they having
declared Il dividend of six and n half
per cent, subjects the road TO taxa
ton.
Mr. J. s. Manning, the attorney for
the road, announced the fact to Gov
ernor Carr, in a letter in which he
says:
Il sincerely congratulate you upon
the contamination of your wish and
effort to have no railroad property in
North Carolina exempt from taxation.
The declaration of the dividend yester-
day by the directors of the North Car
Dina Railroad Company places all it's
property, exemption,u upon the
tax books for all time. You have ac-
complished this by the lease to the
Southern Railway Company, and we
are fortunate to have the taxes paid,
and the revenue of the North Caro-
lima Company not reduced"

HOW CHICAGO WON.

Chairman Harrity of the national
Democratic committee is quoted as hav-
ing said that the thing that won Chica-
go the convention was the warm feeling
entertained throughout the south be
cause Of the unwilling of a Chicago sta
tute to the confederate dead. He said
he fully believed that several southern
votes went to Chicago for that reason
which would otherwise have gone to
Cincinnati or s.. Louis. IF this diagno-
sis of the case is accurate. and certainly
the authority Is high enough. Chicago
has right 70 feel good over the prac-
teal appreciation Of the act illustrative
of 4 broadly patriotic spirit referred to.

enrnihed thus dy tf
randI nqure should and addresses

at Constantinople, asking for infor-
nation about his family, and inclosing
a communication for his eldest son. He
also sent his naturalization papers for
the minister should they be necessary.
Although Mr. Yenovkian went
through the procedure Of translating
the letter into English for the reporter
with forced composure, he burst into
tears when he came 10 the passage
which described the death Of his
brother John and the plundering of his
property. Raising his arms above his
head he groaned out: My God, they
have killed him. oh, such a sanity
man, such a beautiful character! He
then told the reporter that before the
Armenian troubles had disrupted the
quiet of Marash, the Brother john
mentioned in the letter had been one Of
the most prosperous men IN the city.
His house. which was afterwards
burned. was considered the best in that
part of the country and was surrounded
by spacious grounds. His family con-
sisted of a wife and several children.
The letter received by the bereaved
man is the first that has reached this
country from Marash since the great
massacr According 10. the date on
the top of the letter it must have been
written about twenty-five days after
that awful scene. The Armenian min
lister thinks it is almost a miracle that
the letter reached him safely, as the
postoffice of Constantinople and all
other Turkish towns are watched very
closely, and no foreign mail, unless II
comes through the United States or
English legation, is allowed 10 pass
the frontier lines. The only eXplana-
ton ne gives is that is was forwarded TO
Glim through the United States minis
ter. The letter presented a wel-worn
appearance, the stamp and postmarks
were effected, and the directions were
hardly discernible.
When asked what action he would
take in the matter and whether he
would make an appeal TO the United
States authorities he said: Il have lost
all faith in that source. My only hope
now is in the masses. If l can get
them stirred up over the terrible afro
cities l may yet live to see the muir
derers of my relatives punished as they
should. Perhaps 1 could demand at
tention from the United States govern
ment, as I am a citizen of Delaware, O.
I am still in hopes that the American
people will take hand in the affair"

Did Some Good.

The Denver Voice has gathered the
opinions of a number of physicians in
that city, where Michael Schlatter made
a long stay, on the subject of his al
legged cures, and the results are interest
ing. Three of the doctors say that they
know of no cures which the alleged heal
err effected. DIR. G. J. Scott says that,
SO far as he knows, there We're no cures
Of any actual disease; number Of his
patients who had diseases OF the eyes
and ears were ''blessed" by Schlatter,
but without any apparent result. DIR.
Scott, however, recalls one of his own
cases-that Of woman who was losing
her mind. 'She was extremely nervous,
morose and could not Sleep" but after
being blessed" she recovered entirely,
slept we'll. and became quite rational.
He admits that Schlatter did for her
what he could not do, and adds: '"The
majority of humanity wants something
or someone to lean upon. Schlatter's
strong mind furnished that something,
and many were greatly benefited i'll
mind. He did good, and I am glad he
came" Charles n. Hart, M. D., pres-
dent of the State Medical society, says
he knows of several cures for which be
is willing to give Schlatter credit. All
were cases of nervousness, and it is his
opinion that Schlatter helped about 1
per cent of all those that came to him.
That would be, as he estimates it, fifteen
to twenty daily.
