The President Wednesday sent
to the Senate the name of John
William Long, to be postmaster at
Statesvllle. In mentioning the
appointment the Washington COR
respondent of the Raleigh News
and Observer says: "Mr. Long,
who is a third termer, received his
appointment by reason of his good
record as al official and the char
acter of Endorsements given him
by the people of his town. He
was endorsed by Representative
Blackburn, and it is understood
that the organization had also
gone on record in his favor
Neither of these endorsements
affected the appointment, though
some of Mr.. Blackburn's friends
seemed to look upon the nomi-
nation as a partial victory"
So far as known no opposition
will be offered to Mr.. Longs con.
frmatlon and it is presumed that
he he will be promptly confirmed

GREAT Immigration ABUSES.
UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRATION
CROWDS OUT DESIRABLE.
Extracts From Official Reports Of U. S.
Immigrant Inspector Marcus Braun.

''Having arrived at the above
conclusions, it is but just and
proper that I should differentiate
between good and bad immigra-
tion. in 80 far as the countries are
concerned whence we get most
immigrants, ana I respectfully
submit that the very best material
reaching the United States comes
from Germany, Great Britain,
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Hol-
land, and Switzerland; in fact,
from all western and northern
countries of Europe" (which have
a large surplus population as
every.
''It is deplorable that we do not
get more of this class of immigra-
tion, and I found the reason to
lie in the fact we are getting too
much of an inferior immigration,
with whom the German, Swede,
etc., can not very we'll compete.
Ny contention in this particular
was fully borne out by an inter-
view which I had with Herr Won
Pills, a gentleman semiof6cially
connected with the German Gov
eminent, whose business it IS to
induce the Germans from other
countries, such as Russia, HUI
gary, and others, to settle in Ger
many, provided they have money
enough to buy land. He remark
ed to me as follows:
"'We view with great satisfac-
tion the fact that few Germans
enligrate to the United States,
which is not due 50 much to the
excellent conditions existing here
as to the fact that by your present
immigration, labor has been mer-
cilessly cheapened in America. -

ing the town and advising with
our officials concerning the plac.
ing of water works. Mr.. Gordon
is experimenting the works at
Spencer, and he thinks the time
opportune for Albemarle to place
in a system.
There came near being a serious
accident Monday as the large
boiler for the Woodland Mfg. Co.,
was being removed from rhe sta
tion at this place to the plant of
the company. .Itwas train time and
the train was expected every mo-
ment. Thos. Efrd, the drixer,
had the lines which governed four
of as fine hores as ever pulled a
load. He gave the word to his
team, and the load was placed
right across the railroad track be-
fore it was discovered that the
brake chain had not been placed
in position. A breathless wait of
a few moments which seemed q
long while, the hasty fastening of
the chain to one of the wheels of
the immense wagon, a signal to
the horses, were only incidents.
The heavy decline in grade Oh
west side Of the track had hardly
been reached when the log chain
broke and the heavy load crowded
upon the two rear horses. The
driver jumped in good time, the
horses fell and got all tangled up
in the harness in the ditch beside
the road, and the great boiler
toppled over in a most graceful
way, in convenient position
upon the sidewalk embankment.
What would have happened had
driver not jumped in good time, or
if the frightened horses had have
attempted to outrun the load until
the bridge at the creek had been
reached are matters for conjec-
ture. Fortunately, no one was hurt
and the boiler was soon reloaded
upon the wagon. A weak link in
the chain was the cause of the
trouble. The lesson: No chain or
belt is stronger than at its weak
est point, Before venturlng, see
that all links are sound.

STATESVILLE AND IREDELL COUNTY.
Horse Killed by a Buggy Shaft Run Through
Its Breast.
Statesville Landmark, March 9Th.

statesville Landmark, March 9Th.
A large number of Statesville
people, possibly half a hundred
contemplate taking In the Bern.
hardt performance in Salisbury
Saturday night.
President Conger, of the I1edel]
Cotton Association, authorizes the
Landmark to announce a meeting
of the ElmWood division of the
Chembersburg township assocla-
tion, to be held at the school
house at Elmwood Saturday eve
ming, the 10th, at Z 80.
About 30 Pythians from the To-
cal lodge will leave here this eve-
ming at $3.50 on a special train to
attend the district meeting,
Knights of Pythias, which is to
be held at Mooresville tonight.
Arthur Lall, who last summer
went to Mooresville and married
while he had a wife living in
Lenoir. was convicted of bigamy
in Caldwell Superior Court last
week and sentenced to four
months on the roads. Lail pro-
fessed to be insane.
The suit pending between W.
G.. Lewis and W. E. Morrison in
regard to q horse trade was settled
Friday by compromise. A horse
which Mr.. Lewis got from Mr..
Morrison died soon thereafter. 1t
was valued at 5000 and by agree
ment they divided the loss be-
tween them, Mr.. Morrison paying
Mr.. Lewis 800 for his share of
the loss.
A tragedy which resulted only
in the death of a horse-but a
tragedy nevertheless-occ urr d
near the railroad station Friday
afternoon, when W. T. Nichol-
sons little bav mare met her
death in horrible manner. R..
O. Deitz had driven the mare to
the station and hitched her in
front of the McElwee factory on
Center street. T. W. Frazier was
driving his horse to a buggy near
the Statesville Flour Mills, when
the animal took fright at pass
ing engine and ran. Mr.. Frazier
was thrown out of the buggy and
hurt. HIS horse dashed into Cen
ter street at terrific speed, turn
ing north to come up town. AS it
turned north it struck Mr.. Mich
| olson's mare and a shaft of Mr..
Frazier's buggy penetrated the
poor animals left breast, extend.
ing through though the body a
distance of about 18 inches and
coming out behind the right
shoulder. The shaft broke off
and both animals broke 10 3se from
the vehicles to which they were
attached. The Frazier horse ran
up town and was caught at Hen
kel's stables 1t fell fiat as it
turned toward the stables but was
unhurt. The Nicholson mare ran
across the street and was stopped.
The piece of shaft wes removed
as soon as possible but death soon
released the wounded beast from
it's agony. A pathetic feature of
the incident was that when Mr..
Nicholson arrived the mare recog-
nized him and cried plaintively
as if for help, and when the
broken shaft was removed she
started toward her master but
soon fell and died.
