ARMY PROMOTIONS.
Gems. Breckenridge and Wade
Promoted as Major Generals.
Mai. Gen. s. 3. M. Young Will Be Pro.
NOTED to Be Lieutenant General
on the Retirement of Gen.
Miles Next August.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The following
nominations were sent to the senate
Wednesday: Brig. Gen. ]. c. Breck-
inridge, inspector general, to be major
general, April II, vice Maj Gen. R. P.
Hughes Brig. Gen. M. 1. Ludington,
quartermaster general, to be major
general, vice Breckenridge, to be re-
tired: Brig Gen. James F. Wade, to
be major general, vice Ludington, to
be retired.
Gen. Breckenridge is a younger
brother of Col. w. c. P. Breckenridge,
of Lexington, KY, and Judge Robert
J. Breckenridge, of Danville, Ky. He
entered the United States army from
West Point, and served with distinc-
ton in the federal army during the
civil war, as commander of a battery.
There is an impression in well in
formed military circles that the enact
ment of the general staff law and Gen.
Breckinridge's connection with that
legislation were potent factors in
bringing about the change of plan.
Gen. Breckenridge would not have re-
tired under ordinary conditions until
January. 1906. Gen. Ludington, how
ever. is three years older than the in
spector general. and would have re-
tired for age July next. 1t was gen.
orally supposed that both officers
would retire in their present grade of
brigadier general. In recognition OF
their long and honorable service, how
ever. the secretary of war, with the
approval of the president, concluded
to advance them both to the grade Of
major general on the condition that
they retire at once. This was accepta-
bic to both. In advocating the crea-
tion of the general staff, Secretary
Root insisted on the adjustment Of
the inspector generals department of
the army, as no longer necessary, since
it's duties would be performed by the
general staff This particular feature
of the BILL drawn by the war depart.
ment, was resisted vigorously by Gen.
Breckenridge with the result that the
inspector generals department was
not disturbed by the bill as it became
a law. 1t therefore appears that while
Cen Breckinridge saved his corps, he
no longer will have the direction of its
affairs.
Other important army changes in
the near future will be the promotion
Of Mai. Cen. S. M. B. Young to be lieu
tenant general on the retirement Of
Gen Miles next August and the promo
ton Of Brig. Gen. S. S. Sumner to the
grade Of major general on the retire
ment OF Maj. Gen. George w. Davis,
next July, and the promotion Of Brig.
Gen. Leonard Wood to be a major gen.
eral to fill the vacancy caused by the
promotion of Gen. Young in August.

LIST YOUR TAXES.
All Property Must be Listed in the
Month of Tune.

Under the law as to listing taxes,
it is well for every citizen to inform
himself as to the law. Persons ex-
empted from poll tax permanently
for this year are required to present
a certificate of release when they go
to list and the list-taker will make
an entry as to the fact that he is re-
leased. Those who have lost their
certificates of exemption must have
them renewed at the June meeting
of the Board of County Commits
sioners.
Persons who fail to give in to list
takers will have to list before the
Board of County Commissioners up
to the second Monday in July, and
r required by the law to pay TWEEN
ty-fve cents for recording and five
per cent on the amount of tax; all
persons who are liable for poll tax
and fail to give themselves in, and
all persons who own property and
fail to list by the second Monday in
July may be charged with double
tax, deemed guilty Of a misdemeanor
and on conviction fined or imprison@
ed. All persons should list their poll
and property promptly as prescribed
by law, as a failure to do so may
cause them trouble. See sections

Passenger Wreck Near Raleigh.

Raleigh, May 19.-The Southern
Railway passenger train, No. 1876, left
here at 5 o'clock this afternoon and
was totally wrecked at Walnut Greek,
two miles east of here. Passengers
felt the jar when the engine left the
rails and a few moments later were
thrown from their seats. The en-
CINE alone remained on the embank-
ment, while three coaches and a bag
gage car rolled down. The baggage
car tumbled nearly thirty feet and
rolled over twice. The second-class
car turned over once and then e
manned inverted. The smoker roll
ed over while the rear coach slid
down on its side. The two forward
cars we're almost demolished and even
in the last coach benches were torn
from the floor and~piled on the OPP
posite side.
It is regarded as almost miraculous
that no one was killed. About a doz-
en- persons were injured, but none
very seriously.

trial. There is every reason why the
people of the State should regret
this decision for it gives a distinct
advantage to the big foreign corpora
tions in that it enables them to have
all their cases heard in the Federal
Courts, where the cost is great and
the difficulties attendant upon a sue
cessful termination of a suit are
many. This is true not alone of
railroad cases, but more especially
of insurance suits. It enables for
eign insurance companies to settle
their fire and death losses upon their
own terms even more than hereto
fore. This is the most serious phase
of the decision as it appears to us.
However, if an effort is made on the
part of any company to profit by rea-
son of this advantage they will be
made to pay for it in the loss of de-
sirable business, and a reputable com
pany couldn't afford it from any
standpoint.

Effects of the New Law Regarding
Feeding Stuffs.

A carload of concentrated feed
ing stuff was inspected by the De-
partment of Agriculture recently,
and the analysis showed that the
material was not what it purported
to be. On the basis of this examina-
ton the purchasers were reimbursed
for the shortage in quality. This
shows the moral effect of the new
law, although it does not go into
force until July 1. The manufactur-
ers in this case, while they could not
be compelled to make good, neverthe-
less preferred to do so rather than
lose good customers. The new law
provides that all concentrated COM
mercial feeding stuff shall be branded
and guaranteed as to composition
and quality, and also provides for
inspection and analysis and publica-
ton of results.
The Department is preparing a
large number of copies of the law,
to be sent out to manufacturers and
dealers, with the following explana-
tory notes accompanying the law:
/. Each bag or other package must
have branded on it or on a tag at
tached thereto the following data in
the order named:
1. Weight of package.
Q. Name of material.
3. Protein, per cent.
4. Fat, per cent.
5. Crude fiber, per cent.
6. Name and address of manufac-
turer.
2. The statement in 1 must be fled
in the form of a guarantee with the
Commissioners of Agriculture on a
blank form furnished by said Com
missioner.
8. A sample of at least n pound
of the feeding stuff in question must
be sent to the Commissioner of Agri-
culture in a sealed glass jar, along
with the guarantee of it's compost

4. Each bag or other package must

furnished by the Commissioner of
Agriculture, stating that all charges
have been paid. These tags r to

cents per ton of feeding stuff.

Charlotte News: State Geologist
J. A. Holmes gives some valuable
data in his annual report to the
Governor, of the mineral resources
of the State. According to this re-
port North Carolina produces in
more or less abundance POS separate
and distinct minerals, 90 of which
have commercial value. The report
states that Is gold mines are being
worked in the State, these being To-
Gated in Mecklenburg, Cabarrus,
Stanly, Davidson, Rowan and Mont
gomery Counties. Mr.. Holmes says
there has been an increased produc-
ton of minerals the past fiscal year
and a substantial development of
mining properties and his report
says further that the establishment
of a custom smelter at Charlotte will
be a further incentive to the gold
mining industry in Mecklenburg and
adjoining counties. Mecklenburg,
the report says, is the most import
ant and most active county in the
State as regards the mining industry.
Statesville Landmark: The Green's
bOro Record, IN discussing the recent
successful good roads campaign in
that county, mentions that the good
roads agitation in Guilford has Gov
cred a period of ten years or more.
For a long time the idea was ex-
tremely unpopular and was turned
down on every occasion, but the
faithful kept hammering away at it
until a majority of the people were
brought to their way of thinking.
"Aided by private subscriptions"
says the Record, " a few miles of
macadam work has been done in a
few places and served as object les
sons, the idea being that the people
would see the benefits and put a gen
eral through. This has re-
suited and it is clear but for the
systematic work done covering a pc
riod of ten years we would never
have had good roads" This is the
lesson for Iredell, and we are pro-
ceeding on the right line. Guilford's
few miles of macadam were built in
recent years and aided more than
anything else, probably, in securing
the bond issue. The macadam road
that will be built in Iredell will do
more for good roads than ten years
talk.
