A TIMELY PROTEST.
Statesville Landmark.

Statesville Landmark.
A correspondent in this paper sounds
a note of warning against nepotism in
the Democratic Legislature soon to meet.
1t is timely. There is no more disgusting
and outrageous practice than for men who
get public positions and have subordinate
positions to fill, to fill these minor places
with members of their own families.
Surely one member of family ought to
be satisfied when he has gotten a place
without wanting to crowd all his rela-
tives into jobs.

Governor Russell reduced the fines inn
POSED on the Southern railroad for issuing
free passes. OF course the jury that tried
the case and the higher courts that have
passed upon it may have been wrong, but
we have more faith in the courts than in
the governor. 1t will be remembered that
a few years ago Governor Russell was
posing as an enemy of the railroads and
at the same time carried around with
him a pocket full of passes.

WILMINGTON KICKS.

The Wilmington Star did not wait
for the announcement of the census
returns to criticise the imperfections
in the methods of enumeration. 1t
said last June that the work had not
been properly done, and it repeats it
now. The Star says that there are
$3.50 people living in New Hanover
county outside of Wilmington. The
county's population as given in the
new census is 24,026, which would
make the population of Wilmington
20,O56, a gain of 2,700 in the past ten
years. The population of Charlotte
and Raleigh are not yet known, but if
the gains in the two cities is in pro-
portion to the whole gain in the two
counties, Charlotte will probably lead.

not those of Stanton, and Politz' S

Fred KimbIe, who Served Five
Years Mt Moundsville Says He has
Found the Man Who is Guilty.
Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, August 8.
Evidence has been discovered which
may result in proving that Fred KIM
bic, who served five years in the peni-
Tertiary, was innocent of the crime of
which he was convicted. In 1894 Kim
BILE was convicted of committing d
nameless crime against a IL year old
boy in a box car. Kimble maintained
his innocence all the time and still
does. He has written letter to Capt.
]. r. Mehen from Buffalo. N. Y, in
which he states that the man who COM
mitted the crime for which Kimble
suffered is under arrest in Buffalo. and
that he can now furnish the evidence
to clear himself OF the charge. He
gives the name of the man and says
his only object in doing so is to clear
himself of the crime. Steps will be
taken to get at the truth of the matter
and see if an innocent man has really
been confined for five years in the
penitentiary.

LONDON, August S.-The allotment
Of s5,00O,O00 OF the G10,000,000 of the
war loan to the United States is receiv-
ed in the higher financial world as
good thing for London in the present
position of the English banks. The
brokers and small investors severely,
almost passionately, crlticise the chan
cellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach. for privately arranging
for half of the so-called public loan.
and allowing the investment Plum"
to go out OF the country. The bank of
England advised Sir Michael to accept
the American offer, which was made
early last week through j. S. Morgan
& Company and the Earrings, the joint
takers, poining out that this was an
easy and natural way to bring in gold
and save the exports to the United
States in October. Otherwise the
bank rate might have TO be raised TO
five or six per cent and extraordinary
measures would have to be taken to
increase the gold reserve.
The Barings informed The Asso-
ciated Press that though the loan WIS
more than subscribed in New York be-
fore the agreement was closed with Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, it was not twice
covered, as it was expected it would be
by the negotiators here. The Nor
gans said the insurance companies
were large subscribers and both the
Morgans and Earrings said a large por-
ton of the millions would come in
gold Two million pounds, it is I'M
derstood, Is already engaged.
The critics of the chancellor of the
exchequer point out that the loan was
worth 8 $40 per cent, that it was 50
excellent thing that every pound
should have been kept here, that even
If the American offer was accepted il
should have been done differently, and
that to ask for subscriptions of ten
millions when five millions were al
ready allotted, was rather tricky.
Generally, however, there is a feel
ing of satisfaction in financial circles
over the easier money prospects.
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
The loan shows America will oc-
cupy a new role in the future-that of
lender Ere long American operators
and investors will interest themselves
in the international group and be fac
tor to be reckoned with"
The Westminster Gazette, under the
heading THE treasury's insult to the
city; America financing our war"
says:
Attempts are being made to organ
lie deputation to protest against the
sudden closing of the applications for
the latest war loan; but it is doubtful
whether it can get more than the
chancellors expression of regret If dis
appointment was caused. There was
little use in opening the lists at all,
seeing that the chancellor had ar
ranged to borrow most of the money
in America. In any case, the fact
might have been made. clear in the
prospectus, which was a misleading
document. When an issue is already
half subscribed, even by pushful
American insurance companies, it is
usual to cate the fact. The stock ex-
change committee may recall this when
the quotation comes to be consid-
cred"
