TO ASSIST IN
CHOLERA EPIDEMIC.

Messrs. Tom Moore and Holmes
brYson OF the Daniel K. Moore Co.
left Monday for Jones, Duplin and
onslow counties, where an epidem-
lc OF hog cholera is raging. These
gentlemen expect to ad greatly in
stopping the spread of the disease
and IN saving the animals alreadv
affected, through the use of the pre-
ventatlve and cure recently patent
ed by Mr.. Moore.
The News and Observer says of
the prevalence of the disease:
A government expert is TODAY at
Rlchlands investigating an epidem-
lc OF hog cholera of alarming pre-
valence in Jones, Duplin and On
low counties. Fifteen hundred an
imals have succombed to the dis
ease in the vicinity of Richlands
alone. The loss to the stockholders
is enormous.
The owners of hogs in the infect
ed district will be urged to use
serum for the temporary preven-
ION OF the disease in healthy ami
mails, or the virus for permanent
immunity, The vaccination of all
healthy animals is regarded as the
only successful means for Combat
ting the epidemic, In Lenoir coun-
! ty, where more progressive method
have prevailed, the cholera has
spread to only a few scattered To-
calities and no alarm is felt.
In some sections of the three
counties where the cholera is most
prevalent there is danger, unless
the spread is checked Immediately
that the farms will be swept entire
! ly bare OF hogs. TH Lenoir County
Live Stock Association, the only or
ganlzation of the kind in this part
of the State, is expected to take
steps to immunize the county and
may lend aid to the neigoborine
counties. Veterinarians ate in
close touch with the situation and
are ready to flock into the cholera
district as soon as some o19anized
method is decided upon.

T A R N FACTS
BY Peter Radford, Lecturer
National Farmers Union

BY Peter Radford, Lecturer
National Farmers Union
Agriculture needs all the GREAT
men it can get
In union there is strength and in
cooperation there is profit.
Iho farmer can neither help him
self nor be helped by others until
he organizes.
The economic distribution of
farm products is today the worlds
greatest problem.
Our transportation system are
the dray carts of agriculture and
can be made capable peddlers of
farm products.
The middleman is nothing more
than a farm hand but he is able to
tx his own wages and to collect
them and to multiply his tranact-
ions as he pleases.
Bumper crops without marker
facilities have sent more farmers
staggering down the back allevs of
agriculture than all the pests and
droughts that ever cursed the ma
ton.

The PROPOSED A |ENDMENTS tn THF
CON TlTUrlON OF NORTH CAROLINA

III Tie GENERA Assembly OF 1913
more than tWeLty amendments to
our Constitution were introduced.
This gives an idea of the demand
for changes in the Constitution. AS
that General Assembly did not
have time to consider these amend
ments, it authorized the appoint
ment of Commission of twenty
citizens to carefully 90 over the
present Constitution and to prepare
and report to the General Assembly
in special session such amendments
as they might deem good and sound.
This the Commission did.
The Genesal Assembly, in session
in the Fall of 1918, carefully re-
viewed the report Of the Commits
sion, and after thorough discussion.
passed for submission to the voters
the amendments now before us.
The fact that these amendments
received almost unanimous support
in the General Assembly is one of
the best assurances that each of
them is calculated to advance the
interests of the people of North
Carolina.
Futher evidence to the same ef-
feet is the fact that these amend
ments are heartily endorsed by the
Governor and leaders of the princi-
pal parties, the State Press Associa-
ton and official leaders of the Far
mers Union, who declare that if
adopted they will make for pro-
gress il this State and for the ad
vancement of our farming interest
and all other worthy interests in
the State. These leaders especial
ly endorse the taxation amendment
because it sets free our people to
work out necessary reforms in tax
alton while leaving in force the pre-
sent restrictions in rate"
Another fact of great significance
as to the merits of the proposed
amendments is this: That notwith
standing that they were proposed
by General Assembly over Vhelm-
ingly Democratic, they have receiv-
ed the emphatic endorsement of
the Republican State Convention.
So much in general. We propose
now to briefly set forth the mean
ing of each of the ten amendments
in the order in which they will be
voted upon, for the purpose of in
forming the reader:
The first amendment proposes to
strike out the Constitution the
phrase 'Insurrection or rebellion
against the United States" and to
substitute for that odious character
ization Of the civil war, the phrase,
War Between the States
This will appeal to every patrio-
tic North Carolinian.
2.
The second amendment proposes
to increase the pay of members of
the General Assembly from four
dollars per day to six dollars per
day, and of the respective presiding
officers of the Houses thereof from
six dollars per day to eight dollars
per day.
1t is hoped thus to make it posi-
bic for more of our people to afford
the expense of being members of
the General Assembly, as the pre-
sent compensation does not begin
to meet the necessary campaign ex-
penses, board bills, and the time a
citizen must lose from his regular
duties.
Jackson County journal. (Sylva, N.C.) 19??-19??, 1914-10-23

Assembly Ii oerty to engage in the
consideration of matters of State
wide Importance.
Every session Of the General AS
sembly is congested with thousands
OF bills of no general Importance:
matters that should be the subject
OF uniform legislation, on the one
hand. or local self-government on
the other. If this amendment shall
De ratified by the people they will
emanclpate the General Assembly
from It's present bondage of local
and special legislation and endow
1t with liberty to attend to matters
OF interest to all the people.
This amendment gives the Gen.
eral Assembly power to pass gener-
al laws regulating the matters set
OFT in this section;" this is, local
special and private matters; and if
1t is ratified all these smaller mat
tiers will be disposed of once and
for all IN general acts.
Let the reader consider what it
will mean to the Commonwealth to
have its General Assembly rid of
the thousands of little bills of no
general value in order that it NAV
treat the matters of great concern
to all the people.
The fourth amendment changes
the date of the inauguration O the
Governor from the 1st day of Jan
uary to the second Wednesday af-
ter the first Monday in January.
This is to correct an error in the
present Constitution and to fix the
date Of the inauguration subsequent
to the canvassinS Of the election
Ireturns by the General Assembly
The fifth amendment empowers
the General Assembly to provide
Tor the selection of special or emer-
gency judges of the Superior Court
AS matters now stand, if Judge
OF the Superior Court falls sick the
Governor has to call in a Judge
from another district, or court is
suspea1e1. This amend ment will
enable the General Assembly to re-
lieve against this-thus SAVING
time and money and making for
the general public convenience.
The sixth amendment merely
strikes from the Constitution GER
| tam ODSOlete articles.
r
Article seven strikes out the pre-
sent Article on Revenue and Taxa
ton and substitutes therefor an ar
ticle designed to give the General
Assembly power to reform our pre-
sent inequitable, burdensome and
inefficient taxation system.
This new article holds the present
rate of taxation at 66 2-3 cents on
the 500 for State and county pur-
poses. It also fixes the rate in cities
and towns for all purposes at rs
cents on the $100, The only way
to increase the rates so fixed is by
popular vote.
There is now no constitutional
limit upon the tax rate a city or
town may fix. Under the proposed
amendment the limit would be fix
ed at rs cents on the 500.
So much for the rate. 1t is fur
ther proposed to enable the Gener-
al Assembly to classify subjects of
taxation-all subjects of class to
be uniformly taxed; and to seperate
subjects of taxation for State and

object the restriction of local, pri-
vate and special legislation, with

NO TRUST AMONG
THE AUTO MAKERS
Manufacturer Says There Are No Secrets in
the Auto Industry About Prices
and No Combines.

and NO Combines
"This great public movement demanding
that big business be good simply can
not apply to the automobile industry" said
a general manager Of a big motor vehicle
company.
THE automobile industry is good It
has to be. You might almost say that,
take it as a whole. it is the only great
industry which puts all its cards on the
table in its dealings with the pubic yer
it is said to rank second among the INDUS
tries OF the country.
you can go out and buy an automobile.
and know exactly to the penny Just Where
your money goes and who gets It. ana
what he gets it for. I dare say there ism
an automobile owner in the world VINO
doesn't know how much commission the
salesman got out Of the deal. More than
that there isn't an automobile owner who
didn't feel when he bought his car that the
dealer was actually earning his profit, and
that the dealer expected part OF that profit
to apply to service to be rendered later
There cannot be any ConCealment IN the
automobile business. Literally every car
bought might well be taken apart. The
buyer wants to know. If you buy piano
OF a watch or a talking machine you know
there is a profit in it somewhere sales
commissiOn-but you don't know how much.
But in purchasing a car you know right to
the dot how much OF the price covers sales
expense-and the beautiful part OF it all is
that you regard this as part Of the actual
value Of your car.
There isn't any automobile trust. Yet
the business is said to rank second in the
world. Here is an illustration Of active
competition building up a huge industry
zone thing mOre-an automobile company
has to be good 1t has to be honest in its
transactions with its dealers and in its
dealings with its customers If an auto
mobile company isn't on the square, the
public verdict goes against it so quickly
that effect follows cause in the same
breath"

MID WINTER TRIP
ACROSS CONTINENT
Adventurous Hobo Makes One In
ArfstOcratic Sedan from De-
trOft to Portland.

ArfstOcratic Sedan from De-
trOit to Portland.
To cross the American continent in
a closed body motor car is an unusual
feat, though no longer unique, since
last summer, when an adventurous Los
Angeles citizen did it. To make the
trip, however, in the dead of winter,
crossing deserts and mountain ranges
and penetrating even the far north
west is a far different problem, yet is
one recently solved by a tourist"
The feat loses much of its motoring
significance through the fact that the
automobile rode in a box car and car
lied a nameless knight of the road.
Nevertheless, it possesses many fea-
lures of an unusual nature.
Late in December this reSOurceful
hobo must have passed the factory
loading platform in Detroit He doubt
less marveled at the many freight cars
beng loaded and noted that each car
carried on its door the name of the
city which was to be its destination.
The variety from which he chose con-
moment in the country, but he must
have passed along until he reached

Portland sounded attractive The
hobo struggled himself inside the car
with the automobiles. An inspector
came along and verified the shipment;
the human freight kept out OF Slght-
The car was sealed.
Once embarked on this trip, the
tramp made his headquarters IN q
sedan, which was the GROWING glory
of the shipment. Its cushions made
him a luxurious bed. He had but to
touch a button to illuminate its in
terror It's body gave him a double
protection against the weather. He
must have been provisiOned for the
trip for, when the car arrived at Port
land and the door was opened Tor the
first time. the hobo bounced out with
abounding energy and promptly dis
appeared.

along with a note which stated:
