AsHEv1LLE MAN APPOINTED
J.. Henry Reed Named Deputy Col
lector In Carolina Division.


Asheville, N. c., Especial. Elk
Sheriff J. Fl. Reed, of this city, is
the first Democrat in the western
district of North Carolina to re-
ceive an appointment in the Unit
ed States internal revenue service.
Hereceived commission as deputy
collector and was sworn in this
morning by United States Commit
sioner r. S. Mccall. He will be
assigned to the division under In
ternal Revenue Agent R. B. Sans,
who has North and South Carroll.
ma, with Asheville. as headquar-
tiers.
Mr.. Reed received his appoint
ment from Collector George III.
Brown, of Statesville, and it is pre-
sumed that Mr.. Brown consulted
with the Democratic senators from
this state before making the AZ
pointment. Some time ago Cas-
toms Collector Keith of Whining
ton made some appointments from
Republican ranks without any
consultation with the senators, and
now charges have been preferred
against him and his L moval fro i
office is being sought, with Line
prospects that he will lose his Of
fee. It is limited that Collector
Brown took warning from this in
cident, and is leaving the appoint
ments to the inspection of the sen
ators.
The friends Of MI. Reed believe
that the revenue service could no.
hav secured a better man as de-
putty collector. During his term
as sheriff Of Buncombe county he
established an enviable rputation
as an officer.

HOW IT WORKS.
The Effect of Woman Suffrage on
Marriage and Divorce.

An Investigation to determine
the effect of woman suffrage on
martial relations has developed
that Colorado has a greater per-
centage Of married women than
has any one of SO other States.
Two of the Is States which exceed
Colorado in that respect have for
years recognized the right OF wo-
men to vote. The figures further
show that only six States, except
two which have woman suffrage,
have a smaller percentage Of sin
gle women. Denver has a larger
percentage Of married women than
has any of the important cities of
the country except Cleveland, De
troit and Los Angeles, and a great
er percentage of the population Of
Colorado in 1910 consisted Of chill
dren under five years of age than
in a majority of the States north
Of the Mason and Dixon line. The
record was exceeded in all the
Southern States, where the negro
race form such a considerable part
of the population.
The figures are less encouraging
when it comes to divorce. In Col
one woman out Of every "a
was divorced. Utah had a record
cf one woman divorced out of
every 80, Idaho one out of every
l18 and Wyoming one out of every
1O3. All these suffrage States.
For some Of the other States the
figures are: Maine, one out of
1O5; New York, one out Of 321;
Pennsylvania, one out of 296;
Ohio, one out of 1874; Indiana, one
out of 1O9; Illinois, one out of IA;
Michigan, one out of 1875; Wiscon-
sin, n out of 176; New Mexico,
one out of 106; California, one out

Find Bidders for Entire Issue.
Raleigh, N. c., June 11.-Tht
State Of North Carolina today fail
ed to find a market for its issue Of
SLAP, 500 4 per cent, 4O-yeal
bonds for floating debt and perma
nent improvements at State insti
buttons. Bids to the amount OF
only $154,000 being received
There was not a bid from outside
the State.
Only State Treasurer Lacy and
a couple of local bankers were
| present when the bids were open
ed at noon. The smallest was for
$1,000 and largest $25, 1000, the
Battery Park Bank, of Asheville,
putting in two bids of $4,000
each, one of these at par and the
other at a premium of $62.50. The
Murchison National Bank, of Will
mington, bid for $4,000 at par. In
deed, practically all were at par
and none much above. The others
follow:
E. G. Currin, Oxford, $4,000;
Geo. Montcastle, Lexington, $21,-
900; L. H. Cutler, Newbern,
$500; DR.. G. r. Wharton, Ruffn,

sor, Asheville $4,000; Lovit Hines,
Kinston $4,000; Cash $3.50; Jos.
G.. Brown Raleigh $5,001; Ernest
Haywood, Raleigh, $5,0O1.
State Treasurer Lacey said con-
corning the failure of the State to
sell the bonds, that there is no rea-
son to be surprised as the Legisla-
ture anticipated the condition of
the market by adding Section Six,
which authorizes the treasurer to
borrow the money if he is not able
to sell the bonds. He quotes the
New York, the London, the Ber-
lin and other financial journals as
to the satiated conditions of the
world money market and added
that in this country, in practically
every State, as in North Carolina,
large issues of bonds of all descrip-
tons are being offered to the i'm,
vesting public, so that it is hardly
to be wondered at that some Of
these issues bearing low rates of
interest must temporarily fail to
find purchasers. There is no ques-
ton about the credit of the State
and North Carolina and under Dr.
binary conditions an issue of a
million dollars have been readily
absorbed in the State itself.

Washington, Especial. 1.-The
validity Of the Newspaper pubilci-
ty" law, enacted in 1912 as a pro-

vides that paid for editorial or

expressed no opinion with respect

"Nor is it true that sub-com-

FUN IN NEXT
GARRICK BILL
THE Movies" to be One Of
Big Comedy Features at
Popular Playhouse

Anybody who enjoys fun--and it is
uncomfortable that there is anybody
who does not-cannot help but enjoy
the bill at the Garrick Theatre next
week, as it is comedy from start to
finish. each of the acts having been
especially engaged because Of their
comedy features. IL is a good, heal
thy laugh all the way through.
One of the big comedy features OF
the bill is the screaming novelty en-
titled "The Movies" in which Hamish
McLaurin and his company of y
clever comedians show the comical
phase of the moving picture business.
Elaborate scenic effects contribute to
the completeness of the act, which is
the hit of the bill at Keith's Boston
Theatre this week This is a $1,000
act and has been playing with great
success all over the Keith circuit. IT
shows the outside and inside of a
moving picture theatre. with a mot
ley crowd of patrons, some in good
humor and some who appear not to
be- They are first seen on the out
side of the theatre, where their inn
patience to get in causes a row, and
after they get in the picture that is
shown, having been taken especially
for this act, is so funny that IL al
most throws some of them into
spasms and they engage in all sorts
/ of retaliation.
Polly Prim and Bert Fern, who
are members Of the Mario Trio, are
comedy bar actors, and the act in
which they take part is a great nov
city. as well as being skilful. AS
takers and singers. the members of
the company appear to splendid adj
vantage. being decidedly clever-Edna
Luby, who has been the talk OF
Broadway because of her comedy
work, is on the bill for the week. She
is a noted comedienne and has a most
interesting and classy act. The DUFF
fort Dancing Trio. after big success
abroad, comes to the Garrick direct
from London. having landed in New
York this week for their first Amer
lean tour. Redford and Winchester
burlesQue jugglers. have a classy act
The Bison City Four comprise one
of the best comedy quartets on the
stage. The Biograph offers some very
funny comedy also. Bringing the
best in vaudeville to Wilmington and
offering first-class reserved seats
at the afternoon and evening per.
fOrmances, the Garrick is enjoying
excellent business which shows a
healthy growth it is the aim of Mr.
Dockstader to cater to the whole fam
ily, and he is doing so with much sue
cess. which shows that his efforts arc
appreciated.

Of these promises will be regarded as
sufficient to revoke this pardon and
cause him TO be remanded TO prison.
