MESSRS. BRITT AND BLYTHE.

As will be seer in our news columns,
the election is over and the result suits
the majority to the bitter disappoint4
ment of the minority. ..
Now it is all over and all could not
get satisfaction, especially the demo
Gratis. WI should congratulate our
selves ON the fact that we will have an
honorable and efficient representative
from this district in congress and a
man well and favorably known and
regarded as equal to the task Of ad-
ministering affairs in this district as
public prosecutor. .
Congressman Gudger and Solicitor
Schenck have been efficient officials
and we regret to lose their services,
but let us console ourselves ana feel
grateful that the result is no worse
than it is and that Hendersonville

THE COUNTY FARMERS, UNION

+. The question of employing a Hen
derson county farm demonstration for
another year is yet in suspense. The
county is required to give $500 to sup
plement the amount given by the gov
eminent for this service. The coun
ty commissioners refused to give more
than $500, the amount given by the
hoard last year. The board of educa-
ton, which gave $3.50 last year has in
creased it's appropriation to SITS. It
is necessary to raise $125 more or the
work will be discontinued. The Great
er HendersonVille club gave $50 last
year and the county farmers union
gave 800.
Since the club is not an active or
g~anization just now, it is highly prob
able that the farmers union will be
Eetitioned to increase its gift to $125
and thereby secure the work.
The Democrat continues firm in the
belief that the county commissioners
erred In not appropriating the full
amount necessary for this service
since the funds come from the county
treasury and the work would benefit
NO particular set Of people but the cit
izenship Is a whole. but since tho
board was unable to see the necessity
in this light, the Democrat trusts that
the farmers union will see more
clearly the value of this work to the
county as a whole and to its members
especially.
If the union can see its way clear to
help in this valuable work its support
will be highly appreciated and its in
fCence for good in the county will
ultimately be increased. The Demo
scrat trusts that the farmers union will
take this step and as a result WELD a
wider influence among those who
need it's valuable service.

EDITORIAL OBSERVATIONS.
(COntr1buted,O
JUST THE RECORD.

The battle is now over in this coun-
ty and congressional district and no
sort of argument can change the re-
suit. But there is one incident of the
campaign which ~transpired after this
paper went to press last week, that
Was sc misleading and unfair it
should not be permitted to pass. Ref
erence is made to the circular letter
prepared at Republican headquarters
and bearing the name of a Confeder-
ate soldier, whom that crowd induced
to subscribe to the groundless claim
that Mr.. ]. ]. Britt aided Colonel
Means in increasing the appropriation
for Confederate pensions.
The Senate Journal of 1909 accu-
rately records the proceedings of the
session, in which Mr.. Britt served as
senator from Buncombe, and that re-
cord shows the utter falsity of the
contention that he assisted Col. Means,
or anybody else, in helping the SOL
,diers. The work of all legislative
bodies is largely done in committees.
The list of Senate committees appears
or pages eleven and twelve of the
Journal of Senate proceedings and the
name of Mr.. Britt does not appear,
either on the Appropriation committee
or that of Pension and Soldiers Home,
OF which Col. Means, of Cabarrus, was
the honored chairman. A careful and
impartial examination of the true
record of Senate proceedings fails to
disclose any aso for the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Britt having shown him
self a friend of the Confederate Sol
der, or that he turned his hand to
help them during the session. The
campaign letter was a base misrepre-
sentation of facts and the Republican
committee knew it when they started
out to palm the thing off on the pub
lie. Mr. Britt may have voted for the
appropriation recommended by the
committee. There was no opposition
to that and the bill would have pass
ed without his vote. Every Legisla-
ture for many a back has increas-
ed the appropriation for Confederate
pensions and Republican members
have been powerless to prevent it.
The Democrats of North Carolina
are the folks who have been taking
care of the Confederate soldiers. No
Republican Legislature has wei ap-

THE SHORT WEIGHT EVIL.
fstatesville Landmark

SSNSO
Some Forsyth county dairymen were
arraigned in the city court in Win
ston-Salem last week for giving short
weight. it being alleged that the but
ter prints sold for a pound c~ontained
but Ia ounces. The cases were not
prosecuted, the action being taken as
a warning. The solicitor Of he court
called attention to the fact that under
the law one who sells short weight or
measure is liable to a penalty Of $40.
which can be recovered by any one
who will sue for the same.
The Landmark has frequently call
ed attention to the necessity for az.
ton to be taken to secure just We1ghta
and measures. It is a matter Of COM
mon knowledge that, generally speak
ing, butter prints 10 not contain q
pound of butter. 1t has become a
custom to use the prints and they are
sold for a pound, Notwithstanding the
shortage. But the man who sells
~shortweight butter is by no means the
only sinner. What assurance has any
body that the scales used by dealers
in all lines of merchandise where ar
ticles are sold by weight, are accurate!
None whatever; and it is also a mat
ter of common knowledge that the
prepared packages which are sold by
the weight branded on them by the
| manufactures, are often short weight.
How much the consumer loses In short
weights in the course Of a year it
would be difficult to estimate, but If
the loss could be stated to a cent it
would bring a speedy reformation.

CNEARTHING SKELETONS OF.
EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY,

The determination Of the age Of the
earliest human remains found on the
American continent is, of great in
terest. Until a few years ago North
America was supposed to offer the
most valuable evidence in this regard,
though the Bureau of American Eth
nology declared in 1907 that mo speci-
men had come to light in the northern
continent which from the standpoint of
physical anthropology represented
other than relatively modern man.
At that time some apparently epoch
r1aking discoveries" were reported
from the Lagoa Santa Caves of Brazil,
together with numerous finds of bones
and cultural objects in Argentina. AS
a result the attention of the world was
attracted to these places and there was
a renewal of the story of Atlantis, the
origin and descent of the human race
being traced from very primitive an
thropoid forms of South America.
More recently interest has reverted TO
North America from the discovery of
human remains in an asphalt deposit
at Rancho La Brea in Southern Cali
tornia. A preliminary report on these
was 4Odu DC1OAC tAC MuCSum OIL Ills
tory, Science and Art of Los Angeles,
June II, 1914, by John G. Merriam.
The Bureal of American EthnoIogy
was so much interested in the South
American finds that two experts were
sent to conduct an impartial investiga-
ton. The conclusion was that the hui
nan remains from the Lagoa Santa
Caves cannot be accepted without
further and more conclusive proofs as
belonging t GA race which lived con-
temporaneously with the extinct spe-
cies of animals found in the same
caves. A similar unfavorable conclu-
sion was reached regarding the an
tiquity Of the skull taken from the har-
Dor of Buenos Ayres. The specimen
was taken from the oozy bed of the
river when the workmen were ~excavat-
ing for the dry dock at Buenos Ayres.
In geologic age, according to Profess
scr Ameghino who wrote about it, it
was a remnant from the Lower PHO
Gene and was older than the famous
N~eanrehthal skull. Careful examina-
ton, however, failed to reveal any evil

Home, or for Confederate pensions.
BY the grace of Democratic Legisla-
lures the State is now paying half a
million dollars annually, in pensions.
to our heroes of the sixties and no Re
publican can t~ruthfully claim credit
for a single dollar of this princely
contribution to a worthy cause, and
, the Soldier, or anybody else, who
/ suggests that James j. Britt has ever
done anything that should place the
aged veterans under obligations to
him is very much mistaken. Of the
twenty references in the Senate Jour-
nal to Confederate relief measures,
considered by the State Senate OF
1909, not a single n was offered by
Mr.. J. ]. Britt, yet he sought during
the campaign to have the people be-
Lave that he really had been a valued
friend of the Southern soldiers. A
more blantant piece of hypocrisy
would be difficult of production. How
ever, that which was to be done has
been perpetrated. and this article is
merely intended to keep the record
straight. The Senate Journal tells
the story as it really occurred ana
the sanity Mr.. Britt will have to %
elsewhere for evidence to sustain the
record of friendship for needy Veter-
ans he claims for himself as State
Senator in 1909. Let's keep the re-
cord straight.

MINERAL PRODUCTION In
NORTH CAROLINA DURING 1918.

H.
During the year 1918 the North Car
DINA Geological and Economic Survey
continued to cooperate with the Unit
ed States Geological Survey in the
collection of statistics on the produc-
ton of all the minerals and ores lin
| Guiding clay products) which were
mined in North Carolina during that
year. These statistics will be pub
lished, with further information, later
Lin an Economic Paper on the Mining
Industry :" but it is deemed advisa-
| BILE to publish these figures now show
ing the production Of the various min
erals so as to give them immediate
publicity.
The total value of the mineral pro-
auction in North Carolina for the
fiscal year ending December 81, 1913.
shows a decided increase over the pro-
duction of 1912, and is the highest re-
corded value of any year since these
statistics were first collected in 1900.
The total value of all the minerals pro-
duced in North Carolina in 1913 was
$3,877 ;239, as compared with $3,514.S92
in 1912,-a gain of $362s347.
Clay products and stone continue to
be the two largest industries in the
State. In 1918 the value of the clay
products. amounted to $1,751 $50, a
gain of $146,576 over the 1912 produc.
ton. There is included under ~Clay
products" the value of the production
Of kaolin. A large proportion Of the
North Carolina kaolin mined is used in
the manufacture of the fined grades
OF porcelain, enameled brick and thing
The stone production in 1913 was val.
ued at $1,260,339, which included gran
tie, limestone, marble and sandstone.
There was a greater quantity of North
Carolina granite used for building pur-
poses than ever before, and it was
used over a more extended territory.
Mica holds third place in the value
oe the mineral production of the State
and amounted last year to $267,913
North Carolina produces about two
thirds Of the total mica production OF
the United States.
There was a slight falling of In the
production Of gold and silver, which
! amounted in 1913 to only $127,543.
There was no production of lead dur
ing 1913, but a small production OF

The conclusion of the report, is that,
while it is not possible to give a def
mite estimate of the age of the skele-
ton found, it belongs to a distinctly
modern period. 1t does not necessa-
, rily belong to the present historical
period, but cannot be considered as
having antedated it by many thou
sands of years. Merriam considers it
well worth exhaustive scientific inves-
, tigation, and the last word on the sub
ject cannot be written until a great
deal more study has been given the
objects found. The associations are
with specimens distinctly later in age
than the typical Rancho La Brea fau-
ma, which come from a, very old geol-
ogis period. According to DR., A. L.

speaking, of man on our continent.
