LHASSA, Jan. 4s.--Lhassa! The
forbidden city of the Lamas, the seat
Of the mysterious Dalai Lama, the
city OF the palace OF the golden roofs
and domes, the last Of the mysteries
Of the east to be unveiled-here II rs
before rs
Looks like wonder city doesn't II?
Well, in some respects II is, but the
farther away 1t is the better 1t looks.
You see it's sacrilege to kill any
thing Is Lhassa 1t is a terrible thing
20 kill even the least OF Insects in this
holy city OF the Buddhists. Conse-
quently Lhassa is perhaps the filthiest.

dead and preyed upon"
When Cal Younghusband rediscov-
cred Lhassa few years ago he found
1t. And il is the same today.
The Potala palace Is the seat OF the
Buddhist church-or rather OF the de-
generate travesty of a church that the
Lamas have built on the religion that
the consecrated monk Atisa brought
into Tibet thousand years ago. The
Potala palace reeks with blood. In
trlgue has its home there. and many
is the Dalai Lama who has left his
incarnation by the assassination
route.
The present Dalai Lama Is called
"The thirteenth incarnation"

from afar, and the beetling walls OF
the Potala are as stupendous as they
look, but Lhassa doesn't stand close
inspection. The streets are filthy and
full of pigs and dogs.
One hundred years ago one lone
Englishman, Thomas Manning. got
into the forbidden land and had peep
at Lhassa. And this is what he said
about IL:
There is nothing pleasant in its APP
pearance. The habitations are be-
grimed with smut and dirt. The av-
enues are full of dogs. some growing
and gnawing bits of hide that lie about
In profusion and emit charnal house

livid; others liberated; other starved

Fine YieId Of Corn.

DR.. Fred T. Foard of Bandys town
ship visited the city Tuesday and, re-
membering about promising piece of
corn he had, News man asked him
how it turned out. The doctor made
700 bushels on about IL acres. He is
putting this land in wheat this fall
From about five and one-half acres he
has made seven bales of cotton-the big
boil kind, many stalks having 100 bolls.
He made this by broadcasting a vast
amount of manure last fall and using
400 pounds of 1914 fertilizer to the
acre, 200 pounds before planting and
200 under the seed. The rows were
five feet apart and the stalks II inches
apart. DR.. Foard is one of the coun-

MAGMA CHARTA DRAWN.

Eighteen Chinese Sages Have Been
| Working on 1t for Thirty Years.
Eighteen Chinese scholars who have
been engaged at the task for thirty
years have completed the magma char
/, ia of China, according to Ho Lee, pres
ident of the Young China Society lodge
at Los Angeles, Cal. II will be pro-
mulgated as the constitution Of the
Republic of China, he said, just as soon
az the fall of Pek1ng is announced.
While in republican form, the gov
eminent prescribed by the savants
will be far in advance of that in vogue
in the United States and elsewhere,
Ho Lee declares. Economics and the
welfare Of the proletariat were the
chief concerns OF the constitution
makers.
Trusts will be prevented by provis-
ions limiting firms or corporations to
certain shares Of the business in their
particular lines.
Every company must pay a scale OF
wages prescribed by the government.
This, Ho Lee said, is feature partic
ularly attractive to the coolie classes,
whose pay now holds them down to
the famine line.

WARNER DENIES REPORT.
Says Session of Road Congress Was
Harmonious.

Lexington, Nov. 25.-Henry Bran.
son Warner, president of the North
Carolina Good Roads association, Sec
rotary of the Southern Appalachian
Good Roads association and publisher
of Southern Good Roads, who has just
returned from the Road congress at
Richmond, today gave out the follow
ing statement relative to the reported
fight in the congress over federal aid
for good roads:
81 find that the reports sent out
from the American Road congress,
which was held in Richmond, Va, this
week, gave the impression that the
convention had a great wrangle over
the question of federal aid for road
building, when the truth OF the mat
ter is that l have never attended a
convention which was quite SO har-
monious and unanimous on one great
question. / am absolutely certain
that there was not over three men in
the congress who were opposed to fed
eral aid; there were two men on the
committee who voted against it, but
while the committee was in session it
the congress by rising vote, put it,
self on record as unanimously in fav-
or of federal aid"

TO HELP THE McNAMARAS.
Officers of Labor Unions VIII be As.
sessed for That Purpose.

Atlanta, Nov. 3.-One weeks pay
from every paid officer of labor unior
in this country is called for, to swell
the Mcnamara defense fund in a res
olution eadopted today by the conven-
ton of the American Federation of
Labor. Every other delegate to the
convention not paid officer, pledged a
days wages to the fund.
Another action aimed to help the
McNamaras was the adoption of res
Olution framed by President Gompers
himself endorsing the candidacy of
Job Hartman, the Socialist candidate
for mayor of Los Angeles, and calling
upon wage workers all over the coun-
try to give such moral and financial
support to Harriman's campaign as
lays within their power
Leaders in the convention succeeded
IN heading off the proposition to have
the body make direct appropriation
Of $4,000 for the Mcnamara fund. A
sum greater than that by $4,000 will
he raised by the voluntary subscrip-
-tion Of labor leaders if all respond to
the appeal. Several speeches denun-
-ciatory of the prosecutors of the Nc
Namaras were mades during the day,
one Los Angeles delegate making the
statement that $5,000,00 would be
spent if necessary to secure their con-
viction.

BANKERs APpRoYE PLAN.
With One Dissenting Vote They En-
dOrse the AIdrich system.


New Orleans, La, Nov. 24.-With
but one dissenting vote the American
Bankers association today gave its
unqualified approval to the Aldrich
plan for the reform of the monetary
system Of the United States.
Congress was urged to deal with
the proposition as an economic Ques-
ton outside the domain of party pol
itics. Confidence was expressed that
"the high purpose actuating the ma
tional monetary commission assure
the working out Of the details in ac-
cordance with the sound principles
stated in the plan, In such maner as
to gain the confidence and support of
all classes"
The single vote against approval OF
the Aldrich plan was cast by Gen. Will
liam r. Handy, of Austin, president
OF the Texas State Bankers associa-
ton and prominent banker Of the
Texas capital.
Following the election Of officers the
18th annual convention of the associa-
ton, which convened here Tuesday,
came to close. Detroit was unani-
chosen on the first ballot as
the convention city in 1912. Boston,
City, Chicago and Jackson
Vile, Fla, gave notice that they would
ask for the convention in 1913.
Vice-President William Livingston,
Of Detroit, was elected president, and
G. H. Huttig, of st. Louis, vice presi-
dent. The convention then adjourned.

A Perfect Country Home.

A writer in the Lincolnton News
gives this description of the home OF
Mr.. Meadows, near Moravian Falls
Wilkes county:
Mr.. Meadows is mechanical genius,
| has patened certain mill machinery
and realized handsome fortune from
this source. He has one of the incest
and most comfortable residences we
we have ever seen anywhere, in either
city of country.
To begin with this fortunte, clever
and hospitable gentleman has some
thing over 800 acres of exceedingly
rich and fertile land, lying in the
foothills of the Brushy mountains. A
bold mountain stream runs through
his pasture and here he has erected 4
dam. From this he secures the power
to turn line shaft 100 feet in length
leading up to his residence. His wood
is sawed by machinery, the coffee is
ground by machinery, the churning is
done by machinery, the washing is
done by machinery, and when the
weather is warm and the kitchen at
mosphere gets hot Mrs. Meadows
presses button and a stream of cool
mountain air fans her face while she
bends over the cooking range. This
artificial breeze comes from power
driven fan outside, through stove pip
ing leading under the floor and up be-
side the range.
Mr.. Meadows has his own water
works, sewerage, electric lights, etc.,
and his house is screened throughout.
no flies, knats or mosquitoes ever en-
ter this house. And the beauty of it all
fs-there are no bill collectors paying
unwelcome visits the first of every
month.-North Wilkesboro Hustler.

Farmer Offers Half His Cotton.

Mr.. Wiley Morris was at Middlesex
last Tuesday and stated that Mr.. J. H.
Smith, farmer living four miles from
there, had offered him half of the cot
ton he would pick in a twenty-dve-acre
field, which had not been picked over
at all and will yield more tina ma bale
per acre. Mr.. Morris said his family
had worked hard to save his crop and
did not want to go over to Mr.. Smiths
to pick and so he could not accept the
offer. Mr.. Smith is good farmer, but
cannot get labor to house his cotton

DAMAGE TO POWER
DAM TO BE REPAIRED
Mail Pouch Lost in River in
1905 Recovered Near
Carlsbad

Carlsbad, n. NJ. Aug. LA J.
Muzzy, of Bristol Conn, president OF
the Carlsbad Public Utilities company,
has arrived in Carlsbad to attend the
meeting of the stockholders Of the
company called for the purpose Of
adopting plans for the repairs neces-
sary to their lower dam caused by the
high water of two weeks ago. A cloud
burst, although local in nature. caused
a break at the north end OF their
power dam. washing out about 400 feet
OF the spfllway and an earthen pro-
tecting well. The plans, which will
probably be adopted by the stock
holders. will provide for the construc-
ton OF about 200 feet of reinforced
concrete dam added to the present dam
and about as much more of a rein
forced earthern dam with steel core.
The total cost will be in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000. The company's sec
ond dam is being used at this time and
the city has suffered but small incon-
venience from the lack Of light OF
electric power, which is used by many
of the industries here.

To REBUILD MUCH
Of SOUTHWESTERN
RAILROAD
This Is Necessary to Handle
Heavy Through Trains
to Tucson.

The Southwestern system is prepar-
ing to expend 100000 additional on
the western division of the line to
bring it up to the standard demanded
by the through business which will re-
suit from the completion of the road
into Tucson. The lire from Lewis
Springs to Fairbanks is to be relo-
Gated and reconstructed for a distance
of IL miles, the grade reduced and an
entirely new track with IS pound
steel laid in place of the so pound
rails now on that part Of the line.
The new roadoed will parallel the
old line along the San Pedro river and
the grade will be reduced from y
percent to five-tenths percent to ia
cilitate the handling OF the through
freight and passenger business. The
contract for grading the II miles Of
new track will be let and work started
by January first, in order that this
piece of track may be completed and
in use by the time the Tucson extern
sion is done. The roadbed will cost
100000 and the track, including
treated ties and the SIS pound steel.
will cost 100000.
When the Southwestern was first
built it was a mine to smeIter and coal
supply railroad FOR InlS reason the
grades were allowed to remain steep
and the construction was not standard
in some places. This has been RENE
died and, with the completion of the
IL miles yet remaining of the old road
between Fairbanks and Lewis Springs,
the entire system will be of standard
construction. All of the culverts and
bridges will be made of concrete.
Track laying on the Tucson extern
sion will begin as soon as the grade
is established at the Fairbanks end.
Track laying machines will be oper-
ated by the Southwestern along the
line as rapidly as it is brought to
grade and it is expected to have the
entire track completed 10 days after
the contract time for the completion
of the roadbed. The shops and round
house at Tucson will also be built
while the grading is being done and it
is expected to have everything ready
for the operation of the first train
over the extension into Tucson by Sep
TENDER first, 1912.
