WARM WEEK ALL OVER STATE
Rainfall Very Light-Some Fog on
the Coast


the Coast.
The week was much warmer than
the preceding one. The temperatures
in the western counties were nearly
four dgrees higher than usual, but in
the eastern counties they were abou
the average for the season. Some few
mornings were cool, with tempera-
lures close to the frost mark, but no
frost was reported. Sunday was a
very warm day in the district between
the coast and the Cascade ranges of
mountains and temperatures of 80 de-
grees or more were common.
The rainfall of the week was very
light and principally confined to the
windward slopes of the coast and Blue
mountain systems. A number of fog
gy mornings were reported in the
coast counties. but the afternoons
were clear and sunshiny and more
than the usual amount of sunshine
was experienced in all portions of the
state.

We want to buy within the next
three weeks all the cows, sheep,
goats, hogs, chickens, geese, tur-
keys, ducks, guineas, eggs, but
ter, etc., for sale in Lancaster
county, and will pay the highest
cash price for same. Our busi-
ness has increased to such an eX-
tent that we find it difficult to
keep enough meat to supply our
trade, and for this reason we are
paying a little better price than
other folks for cattle, poultry,
etc. So if you have anything in
this line for sale, bring it along
and bring it quick. We also
want to buy corn, peas, green
and dry hides. Highest cash
price paid for all.
We wish to say to our trade
that we are prepared to deliver
anything you want in the meat
line. Handling so many beeves
a day enables you to get your
choice cut. We also handle fish

rivers Weser and Elbe-several
hundred years ago there lived a
tribe of people called the Angles.
Not far southeast of here lived
another tribe called the SaXons.
Where they came from into this
territory is not known with any
degree of certainty. There are
those who believe that they were
defendants of the lost tribes of
Isreal, and there are reasons for
so believing. They were a hardy,
adventurous people and many
of them pushed on westward, ,
crossed the North Sea into Br;-
tain, later the Atlantic into Amer
ica, and today their descendants
are found in every cline. Wheth-
er or not they were of the peo-
pie to whom were committed
the oracles of God, may always
rest in conjecture. But, certain
it is, the Anglo Saxon people are
today the ones who are going in
to all the world and carrying
with them the light of civiliza-
tion and christianity. May not
this great race be of the CHOSEN
people?
The people who occupy this
territory now are a fusion OF
Frisian-Saxon blood. They are
the pure Caucasian, with blue
eyes, light hair and rosy cheeks.
In the crisp air of the early
morning their cheeks are red.
They are of serious turn OF
mind and laugh but little. Bu-
siness is business with them.
They are dominated by the COM
mercial idea, and Bremen is the
second largest port in Germany
the largest being near by on the
Elbe and built up by the same
kind ofspeople. The annual i'm
ports at this place amount to
over 1925, 100000, of which four
fifths ia raw cotton from the
Southern States. The city claims
to stand next to Liverpool as i'm
porters of our cotton. 1t is also
one of the largest foreign buyers

expressed it, referring to his
favorite subject, "If you huy a

up the glass or you can call a

pretty fair cigar for % cents,
but the imported American ci-
gar is high. Nearly all of the
the men smoke; all drink beer.
Beer is for sale at about every
other house. If on the ground
floor the sign will be, "Bier
Halle" if in cellar the sign
will be, "Bier Keller" or "Beir
Tunnel" Beer is usually sold
by young women. l did. not learn
whether or not that occupation
diminished their chances of mar
riage; l should think not, owing
to the popularity of the bever-
age in Germany.
All men engaged in the public
service must wear uniforms.
Those in one branch wear
blue, those in another wear
green, those in another brown,
etc. Judging from the number
of uniforms worn, it look like a
fourth of the male population is
engaged in public service. But
the railroads, express, telegraph
and telephone are all operate d
by the government, as well as
the postal system. Like wise,
the street cars belong to the pub,
lie service.
The court system is not so
simple as ours. The civil and
criminal courts are kept sepa
rate. Juries decide by majority
verdict. Under their system there
is no such thing as one man
having as much sense as his
eleven associates and preventing
q decision of issues. If litigant
is too poor to employ a lawyer he
is given one in both civil and
criminal matters.
The imperial government owns
and operates the telegraph, tele
phone and express business as a
part of the postal department of
the empire, except in Bavaria.
The railroads are owned by Ger
tain of the States. The two sys-
TENS running into Bremen are
owned by otherStates, ,one byPrus
sia and the other by the Grand
Duchy of Oldenburg. The road
beds are simply splendid and ac-
cidents rarely ever occur. Their
trains, however, are shabby af-
fairs. There are four classes.
Often one coach is for three
classes-the third at each end,
the second next to the third
and the first class in the middle.

| do.
The German way of admins
tering public affairs has a few
things similar to ours, but it
would require a book to point
out the differences. There is
little system or uniformity. We
are accustomed to associate with
the German Empire the idea of
great strength and power. That
is true so far as we are concern
ed. As to third parties it is
great, but inside tof Germany it
is a small potato. When it comes
to home affairs, each State is all
powerful and the imperial gov
erument mere safeguard against
foreign powers. National inter-
ference in State matters and
Federal injunctions are unheard
eff. When the different States
and separate governments were
reunited after the Franco-Prus.
sian war, the union was for mil
itary strength and self-protec
tion. The States reserved just
about all of their previous pow
ers as independent governments
For instance, Bremen reserved
even the right to designate the
imperial customs officer for this
port, and Bavaria, under its re-
served rights, owns and operates
it's own postal system, it's tele-
graph, telephone and express
business. The Emperor of Ger.
many draws no salary as such,
but only as King of Prussia.
Then certain States or cities are
leagued together and run a side
SHOW on their own account. The
Supreme Court o. the State of
Bremen does not even sit in the
State. Bremen, Hamburg and
Lubbock are old Hanseatic cities
and the Supreme Court of the
three holds its sessions in Ham
burg. The judges of this court
are elected from the three cities.
Then, again, the city Of Bremen
is bigger than the State of Bre-
men--that is, the city controls
the State. 1t is the old city idea
of Athens and Rome, and later
of Venice and Genoa. Each
State sends representatives to
Berlin in proportion TO popula-
tion-Senate as well as House
Bremen sends one Senator and
Prussia about eighteen. The
Senator from Bremen is elected
by the State Senate, and the
member of lower House at Ber-
lin by popular vote.
The State Legislature of Bre.
men is composed of 16 Senators,
elected for life by the lower
House and the Senate. Under
the constitution ten of them
must be lawyers, three merchants
while the calling of three is OPP
tional. (The lawyers had a hand
in making that constitution. J

/ able Agitation. Much Of p bile Interest.
A special to the Charlotte Oh
server, from Asheville, dated July
18th, says:
Before Judge Spears Reynolds
i'll the city police court this morn
ing at 9 O'Clock District Passenger
Agent James H. Wood, of the
Southern Railway, also a member
of the board of aldermen of Ashe.
Vile, and o. G. Wilson, ticket sci.
ler for the Southern at the local
passenger station, were tried on q
charge of violating the new State
rate law of 2 IA cents mile for
transportation, convicted and SEN
fenced to the county chain gang
for 80 days each.
Messrs. Wood and Wilson, ar
rested last night, remained in the
custody of a deputy sheriff at a
local hotel during the night and
were in court promptly. at 9
O'Clock this morning. The cases
wero called first. The prosecuting
witness, T. J. Harmon, went on
the stand and testified that Sun.
day he purchased a ticket from
Asheville to Canton from Ticket
Seller Wilson, that the distance
was 20 miles and that for the tick
ct he was charged 60 cents, sum
greater than 2 ia cents pei mile.
The Observers Raleigh cores
pondent, of Friday, gives out the
the following:
The sensational trial of the
Southern Railway Company and
City Ticket Agent Green for vio-
lating the new State 24 cent pas
seng9r rate law which threatened
an interference of a Federal court
process to arrest the trial in the
State court, terminated this eve
ming in the State court with a
verdict of guilty both as to the
Southern and Agent Green and
the imposing of a $4,000 fine on
the Southern and nominal fine
on Agent Green who pledged him
self not to further violate the
law. Green vas given the choice
of abandoning the sale of tickets
and paying nominal fine OF
standing out against the State
Court and receiving sentence to
prison and possibly to the chain
gang. In choosing to pay a fine
he stated he felt he was guilty of
no wrong; but he had all aged
and Ill mother who could not un-
derstand the situation and, lest
further resistance might embi.,er
her life, he would not resist fur
ther. The understanding is that
Green will be given some other
position with the Southern.
"However, issues may end for
the Southern at Asheville the
case will probably be carried right
up to the United States Supreme
Court and there will be affidav1ts
setting out that the prosecution
of the Southern's agent is as in
Raleigh forcing their agents to
leave their service, thereby wreck
ing the business of the company.
Southern counsel claim they score
an advantage by Green's having
been forced from their service.
"As to the fine of 100000 the
Southern has ten days i'll which to
file notice of appeal"
