Ranscm's Great Service to the State
Statesville Landmark .

Statesville Landmark.
Mrs. II. \. Brooks. widow of the
late United States District Judge
Brooks, died at her home in Eliza
beth City last Tuesday night, aged
70 years. The death of Mrs. Brooks
recalls the fact that it was her hus-
band who issued the writ Of habeas
corpus in North Carolina III the days
of reconstruction and released some
of our citizens from Jail. When Kirk s
forces, backed by Gov. Holden, were
gOin" about the State arresting the
best citizens and throwing them into
jail without a hearing, application
was made to the State Supreme
Court for Writs of babeas corpus. The
writS were refused, the answer being
that the Judiciary was exhaused. .
Unable to get any semblance> OF JUS
tice at the hands Of the State au-
thorities, Judge Brooks, of the United
States court, was appealed to, and
he issued the writ which opened the
jail doors and released many OF the
most prominent citizens Of the State.

the man who secured that writ from
Judge Brooks, and thus rendered
that great service to his helpless peo
pie, was Matt. w. Ransom. .afterward
for 24 years United States Senator
from North Carolina. This signifi-
cant service was only one of many
rendered his people by that distin-
guished son OF our State, who spent
practically his whole life in serving
his people North Carolina honored
him while he lived, and it should
honor his memory, now that he is
dead Mr.. Julian, If Rowan, has in
troduced in the Legislature a bill to

WOMAN AND HER WORRIES.
Fair Sex Criticized by a Writer In
EnaIIsh MAGAZINE.

IL may fairly be said that women
have only themselves to blame for
very considerable proportion of do
mestic worry, with its consequences
OF irritability and bad temper, leading
to worse things, says a writer in Cas-
sells Magazine. Even after fully rec
ognizing that the ordinary housewife
is specially subject, at any rate at
times, to unavoidable worry, we must
surely grant that the common prac-
tice Of living up to the very limit OF
ones means, If not beyond II, is re-
sponsible for a great deal of womans
worry that might be avoided One
says, especially, woman's worry, be-
cause 1t would appear that the wife.
rather than the husband is more often
responsible for the neglect of that
margin of income which, as Mr.
Micawber knew, spells happiness
Hence 1t is worth while yet again to
point out the commonplace facts
that the happiness attained by keep
ing three servants when you can ar
ford two is most lamentably out
weighed, not merely by the worry in
volyed In the incessant effort to make
both ends meet, but also by the con
sequences of that worry on sleep,
health, digestion and temper-these,
again, injuring every member OF the
family and possibly leading TO its ut
ter destruction.

BOARD OF REVIEW
GETS SIXTY DAYS
Task Before it Is a Monster

Some Very Valuable Property and
Stocks Of Goods were Miss.
ed by Assessors.

The city board of tax review has
been granted an additional sixty days
in which to complete its work or
going over the assessors reports and
adjusting tax assessments. Sixty days
is the term of service specified by law.
and the local board had finished this
term August 8. Shortly before the
Expiration of this time the board re-
allied that 1t would be impossible to
finish it's work within that period and
an extension was asked for
Despite the fact that the work OF
the assessors last year was severely
criticized by the board and that
County Auditor Allen took particular
pains TO instruct the assessors this
year to be more careful and thorough,
their reports show that their work
was among the poorest done in years.
According to the reports, some of
the assessors missed prominent up
town business property as well as
some of the most valuable residence
property in the city. The board of
review is still working In the business
section and is having little difficulty
in making daily discoveries of stores
and stocks of goods missed by the
assessors.
The prospects are that the board
will increase the tax duplicate this
year even more than was done last
year, which was regarded as a record
breaker.

WARNING IN SHOE SOLE.
Lookout Man Wears Copper Plate to
Start Electric Buzzer.

Some of the dives about town that
are under the ban of the police have
ingenious contrivances for warning
occupants and patrons of the ap'
proach of a "bull" or any other sus.
pected person. BY the way, these
places are never referred to in the
vernacular as olives" or Joints" for
the vocabulary of the inventors of
slang changes as quickly as a word
comes into general use, so a suspected
place Is now always referred to as a
dump"
Warning of the approach of a police
man or detective is given by means OF
an electric buzzer. Formerly the push
button connected with the buzzer was
concealed under the edge of the bar
In front of or behind a water pipe.
This device, however, was discovered
by the police, who thereafter on en-
terlng a suspected place kept a close
watch on the barkeeper and gave him
no chance to press the button.
Then came the prong device. This
consisted of two small metal prongs
projecting from the edge OF the wall.
When man suspected to be limb OF
the law entered the door the barkeep'
err carelessly placed coin across the
two prongs, thus making a circuit and
causing the buzzer to sound In the
rear.
This device was discovered too, SO
now lookout Is stationed outside the
door OF dive. He apparently is a
lounger, but he scans closely by q
quick glance the face of every person
who enters. II a man doesn't looh
"all right" the lookout presses his
foot, which has a copper plate nailed
to the sole, TO another small plate af
fixed to the surface of cellar door
way outside. This makes the circuit
and causes the buzzer to get busy. sc
that by the time the bull throws
open the door the occupants who are
wanted by the police have had time
to make their escape and those who
remain are seated at tables harmless
| ly drinking beer or engaged In {
friendly game Of ph,ochle or whist
Everything is apparently "on thu
level" and the bull is forced tC
withdraw without having been able t
obtain any evidence.
