STATESVILLE AND lREDELL COUNTY,
4o lbs Of Meal to the BusheI Now.
Some Liars at Large.

Statesville landmark, June 9th,
Mrs. J. 7. Raymer and little
son, Charles, went to Rowan
county Wednesday to attend the
marriage of Mrs. Raymer's .neice,
Miss Mamie Deal and Luther
Peeler, Of China Grove, which
took place at 6 o'clock last eveu-
ing.
The Landmark is asked to call
attention to the fact by act of the
last Legislature a bushel of meal
must now weigh 48 lbs. Formerly
ID pounds passed for a bushel but
now 4S is required and it is con-
trary to the form of the statute
not to give the full weight.
John Sewers, Familiarity known
here as "Sunday" Sewers, was
tried before Justice J. P. Burke
Wednesday for burning three
stacks of hay that belonged to E:
P. Holland, who lives in Bethany
township, The hay was burned
on the first Of May. Justice
Burke asked John if he set fire to
the hay. John said that he did,
that he would own up like a gem
tleman; and when he was ques-
toned further as to why he did it
he said that Mr.. Holland had
promised him one Of his daugh-
tiers, and she got married; then
he promised him another daugh-
ter but would not let him have

In a letter to T. J. Cougar, of
this county, 7. B. Parker, secre-
tary and treasurer of the North
Carolina division of the Southern
Cotton Association, expresses the
opinion that the governments estl
mate of the reduction of the cot.
ton acreage, which is Z per cent
less than the Southern Cotton
Association estimate, is all wrong.
Mr.. Parker says:
eff it the government report
is accurate, the persons who have
reported the Southern Cotton As.
ISOLATION either knew nothing
about what they were reporting
or they are the biggest liars I'M
hung and [ an not prepared tc
believe they did not know what
what they we're talking about. OF
that they were not telling the
truth as to reduction in acreage
and fertilizers. The government
report I think very misleading,
and it will cause the price of cot.
ton to fall. In view of that !
hope that no man will offer bale
of cotton for sale for the next 30
days, and not then for less than
10 cents. [ firmly believe condi-
tions warrant a price of 10 cents
a pound for cotton, and I also
think it will bring that next fall
when the truth about the crop
is positively known. Further,
[ do not believe the present crop
will.amount to 10000, 900 bales"

New England and the South.

The Boston Transcript is dis
posed to make some comparison
between New England and the
South, and in the main, it is fair,
but not we'll informed---not up to
the times as they exist in the
South. 1t starts out by saying
that New England consists of but
little more than $4,000 square
milea, while the fourteen States
of the South have an area of
nearly 900, 900 square miles, half
the. standing timber of the United
States, more iron than Europe,
forty times as much coal as Eng
land, and they produce more than
80 per cent. of all the cotton of
the world. Were the South to
achieve as New England has
achievd, it would be the richest
section in the. world. Then it
reasons:
1.-The Few Highlander, however,
has learned his lesson. Besides
his ingram thrift, he has learned
to adapt himself to changing con-
ditlons, as has been shown in the
manufacture. More than this.
there is some subtitle alchemy by
which the raw importations of
labor are transformed into skilled
workmen. Directing this enor-
mously valuable capital of labor
there are men who are trained to
the knowledge of every detail in
in their business. Furthermore,
the New Highlander puts by some
thing each year. The figures in
comparison with the South are
surprising. With the most lib
eral estimate of savings accorded
the South there is but $1,44 saved
to each inhabitant, against $3.50
to each inhabitant of the New
England States"
We do not know where The
Transcript gets its figures, but its
claim that the savings of the
South are but $1.44 per inhabi
tant, against $3.50 to each inhab-
liant of the New England States,
is a surprising one. Perhaps The
Transcript bases It's statement on
some ok census report. The diff
ference in the savings of the PEG.
pie of the two sections can hardly
be that great now. But the Bos-
ton paper from which we quote
evidently believes it, and says:
mo man can read these facts
without p%lcturing the great oppor-
tunity before the South when it
comes to realize their full mean
ing. There must be, in the future,
all increased appreciation of the
value of small savings, of those
tiny rills which flow into a stream
with a current sufficient to turn
the wheels of commerce for q
nation" True enough. This is
a lesson the South has learned
and is living up to it. This Sec
ton has done more in that line in
recent years than our Boston
contemporary is aware of. The
Transcript is just enough to say
that: "Object comparisons be-
tween the industrial development
Of the North and the South are
unfair, because New England had
a tremendous start and never, to ,
any extent, was obliged to suffer
from the curse Of slave labor,
which allowed the people to pros
per without working. But the
conditions of the South are
changing, and today the Sonth

The late reports from Washington
seem to indicate that the question of
the abandonment of the Sidney land
Office has at last been settled and an
order has been issued for its closing.
AS considerable business is still be-
fore the office which will require some
time, the present probabilities are
that the closing order will not go into
effect until about March lst. This
will give ample time to close up all
business now pending before the Office
and also give to all those who can
make final proof before the Office clos
es, time to do SO if the application is

Freak Calf.

One of the most wonderful freaks in
the animal kingdom was brought to
town Tuesday by j. B. Reinhart, q
farmer living near Leroy. 1t was an
immature calf having two bodies join
ed breast to beast. one head, four
ears, eight legs and two tails. You
have probably heard the story of the
dog which ran against scythe and
splitting itself in two was hastily put
together by its master. In joining the
dismembered parts he became careless
and got two legs up and two legs
down, so thereafter when the dog be-
came tired of running on one pair of
legs he turned over and used the fresh
pair. Had the calf been born alive it
would have been able to duplicate the
dogs act.-Sterling Democrat.

Holyoke Water-works Election.

On December 18th the taxpayers Of
HolyOke are to vote upon the ques-
ton of purchasing and completing
the water-works system. The town
council has secured an option on the
purchase of the Lincoln Land com
pany water-works for $6OOO.OO. AS
the Lincoln Land company does not
own well and pumping plant, if this
purchase is made, it will be necessary
for the town to put down a well and
construct pumping plant. 1t is es-
timated that this purchase and COM
pletion of the water-works system will
furnish fire protection for the town for
less money than has been paid the
Lincoln Land company for this pro-
lection. We believe that it is for the
best interests of the taxpayers of the
town that the purchase should be
made. Holyoke Herald.

The attention of the school boards
of Sedgwick county is respectfully
called to Section 1913, Page l9l, Anno-
tated School Law of the State of Col
orado. Also to the various decisions
which read as follows:
d.. A person can not be legally
employed to teach in the public
schools for any length of time, how
ever short, unless such person has a
certificate to teach, issued by the prop
er authorities,
d3. An unlicensed person can not
legally be employed as substitute
teacher in the public schools of this
state. A substitute teacher must be
provided with the proper certificate.
d &. The engagement to teach of a
person who has no certificate by
school directors is illegal, as no con-
tract could be made between the
school board and such Il person. The
fact that she draws no pay would not
entitle her legally to teach the school,
A school SO taught could not be con-
sidered a public school nor could the
months of school SO taught be count
ed in, or reported as, months of pub
lie school work. School directors
coulp only as private citizens employ
teacher to teach private school.
There is no possible way in which the
public school work and the private
school work can be combined, or the
private school work legalized as pub
lie school work, or a private school
teacher, uncertitcated, in any way be
considered as a public school teach
er.
d 26. 1t would be illegal for a
school board to pay the teacher, un-
less she was provided with certiti-
cate issued in the county, or with a
certificate recognized in some way by
county superintendent.
d %. If a school board employs
teachers who do not hold legal certiti-
Gates, such board is liable for the
teachers salaries, since it is a direct
violation of the law to pay such
teachers from the public funds.
Sec. 30. Page l30. d %. State
Normal diplomas and certificates from
other states, or certificates from other
counties in this state, may be recog-
nized by the county superintendent
only in case of an emergency. Under
this act an emergency may be said to
exist whenever there is a vacancy in
any school of the county, and there
can not be found in the county teach
er who holds a certificate and who is
qualified to teach that particular
school. and whose services can be Sc
cured.
Such recognition consists of an
endorsement by the county superin-
tendent, making the certificate good
only until the next examination.
23. The endorsement or renewal
of certificates and the issuing of like
grade certificates are in all cases op-
tional with the county superintendent.
