A. CANNON ADVOCATES LOCKE
CRAIG FOR CONGRESSMAN.

Raleigh, June ga. Cannon of
Horse Shoe, Henderson county. here
in connection with his membership on
the State board of agriculture, says
that there is the firmest sort Of con-
viction throughout the Tenth co4Igi 60
sfonal distict that Governor Locke
Craig is the one man who can certain
ly redeem the district in the next cam
paign and assure democratic repre-
sentation in the next congress-. He
believes that Governor Craig, if he
will consent to make the race for con-
gress against Congressman Britt, re-
publican, can carry the district by
1 1907 or more 1t will not be neces-
~, he says, for the governor to re-
sign his governorship in order to make
the campaign either.
He can go right on with his duties
as governor and win and then retire
from the governorship when the term
in, congress begins. Governor Craig,
will, he says, solidify and strengthen
the party in the Tenth to a degree that
no other man could at this time. He
is very hopeful that the. governor will
make the race for congress.

SAYS DR. BROWN is TOO BIG
A MAN FOR JOB HE HOLDS.

The Health Bulletin issued by tho
State Board of Health for the month
of May, has the following complimef7
tary article concerning DR.. J.. S.
Brown, health officer for Henderson
county:
Here is case of man too big for
his job. He lives in county that
needs and wants a whole-time county
health oficera but, unfortunately, the
county fathers do not, feel that it is
quite possible at this time to provide
for the expense of such an official
by law, each and every county is
required to have either county ply
slc1an whose business it is to render
assistance to the county poor, convict
camps, jails, etc., or to employ whole
time county health officer. The lat
ter's duty in addition to that already
mentioned for the county physician, is
to devote the remainder of his time to
public health work, such as lecturing
to school children. making medical in
speetion of school children, holding
tuberculosis and hookworm clinics.
vaccinating and immunizing against
typhoid and smallpox and, by any
other means, improve the health con-
ditions of his county.
I'm the particular case in hand, up
in Henderson county, one of the pny
sicians, DIR. J. S. Brown of Henderson,
vile, made application for the Office rs
county physician. He made appl1cd-
ton knowing that the county officials
did not deem it expedient to employ
"a whole-time county health officer at
that time. In this connection the Doc
tor is quoted as follows: at is my
purpose to work myself out of a job
as soon as possible. not by doing low
grade work but by performing my
duties to the very best of my ability.
In making application to the county
board of health for the position as
county physician, this Doctor made the
following statement: Believing that
a wltole-time health officer should be
employed as soon as possible, / hereby
make it part of the above Office that
/ agree to resign from either or both
offices County physician and qGaran-
tine oficer), at the end of any month
prior to the usual time Of expiration
of these offices two years hence at Ice
request of the board of health in order
to make room for Whole-tinle health
officer"
''Now we claim that man who will
make such a proposition as this to a
county board of health is too big for
the job, and should be given serious
when the question OF a
whole-time health officer is consider
ed"

THE MEXICAN QUESTION TO
BE DROPPED FOR PRESENT


Washington, June 11-Several
weeks probably will be allowed to pass
before the United States takes any
further step in the development of its
policy. toward Mexico as announced by
President Wilson in his recent state
ment warning the factional leaders to
accommodate their differences" and
restore peace.
In the meantime replies from Villa
and Carranza will be awaited; the
government will watch with interest
the effects of the belligerent factions
to hasten settlement of their differ
ences on the battlefield and the Amer
lean Red Cross will proceed with its
work of relieving starving non-com-
batants.
Consular Agent Carothers advised
the state department today that he
had telegraphed General Villa in be-
half of George Marks and S. Franklin,
believed to be American citizens, who
are under death sentence for alleged
circulation of counterfeit money. He
has been instructed by the state de-
partment to insist that no summary
measures be taken against the two
men.
Additional reports of distressing
conditions in various parts of Mexico
were received during the day at the
state department and Red Cross head
quarters.

ON LONG JOURNEY ALONE

AshevilIe, June 8. Probably the
Youngest traveller who ever made >
cross-country trip alone is Billy Eau
cette, the eight-year-o son of DR.. and
Mrs. J. w. Faucette, who has gone to
San Francisco to see the wonders Of
the exposition and to visit SURROUNDING
cities without an escort. Upon the
labels of his coat he wears the emh-
lens of the fraternities to which his
father belong, and the latter has no
fears regarding the safety of the yonth-
full traveller during the jaunt.
In telegram to Mrs. Faucette yes
terday the Juvenile traveller said thai
he had arrived at Pueblo, Col. safely
and had thoroughly enjoyed his trim.
He added that he hadn't been home
sick since he left Asheville.
Billy is a great baseball fan and an
experienced youngster. His only re-
gret at leaving Asheville at this time
he said, was experienced when he re-
allied that he couldn't see all of tho
ball games played here this season.

CONSPIRACY MAY BE RESULT
OF THE LUSITANIA AFFIDAYITS.

New York, June 10.-A Federal
grand jury investigation to determine
whether there was a conspiracy TO
defraud the United States" in connec-
ton with affidavits submitted by toe
German embassy to the state depart
ment To prove that there we're guns
aboard The steamship Lusitania was
begun here today. It is specifically
directed against Paul Koenig, also
known as Stemler, who, according to
the Federal authorities, is head OF
secret service department maintained
By the Hamburg-American Steamship
line.
The first result of the investigation
was the arrest today for perjury OF
Gustava Stahl, German reserV1st'
who made one of the atf1davlts SUD
mitted by the embassy and who is al
legged to be closely associated Win
Koenig. The warrant on which he was
arrested alleges. that he committeQ
perjury. He was taken into CUSTODY
Immediately upon the conclusion OF
his testimony and sent to the TomDs
in default of $40, 1000 bail.
Stahl, in his affidavit, made before
a notary public, swore he visited the
Iuistania April 80, the day before she
sailed, and saw four guns on her deck
concealed by leather covers. me re-
uetition of this story, when ne was
called as a witness in the investlga-
tion of Koenig's activities, was the
basis of the perjury charge.
Government authorities SAID To-
night that they had evidence by which
thew would prove that Stahl was not

fore the departure Of the Lusitan1a on
her fatal trip.
Stahl was located day before yes

(Charlotte Observers

The reported intention of the Sea-
board Air Line officials to extend their
line from Rutherfordton to either
Asheville or Marion, as mentioned in
the Observer, attracted the instant at
tentlon of the Wilmington Star. That
paper properly holds that the best pos
sible connections Southern railroads
can make now are with the Western
lines. 1t would give our South Allan
tic ports Western outlet and give all
the Middle West States connection
with the ports nearest the Panama
canal. 1t would be great for the west
as well as for the. port of Wilmington
for the Seaboard to connect with the
great Western trunk lines by simply
extending the Carolina Central on to
Asheville or Knoxville. cit is not
very far. across the mountains from
Rutherfordton to the Hill lines to the
West" continues the Star, land it
strikes us that no Southern railroad
project would so appeal to capital as
this proposed extension of the Sea-
board westward. We would not be
surprised to hear that there is truth
in the rumor, and certainly it is a pro-
ject that the port interests of Whining
ton should agitate all the time" AS
The Observer has stated, the extern
ton of the Seaboard from Rutherford
ton to Western connection is a pro-
ject that has been in soak since the |
last spike was driven at present wes-
tern terminus, and this paper is firm
ly of the belief that if preparations for
taking up this long-delayed work Of |
extension are not now under way, they |
will be in the course of the next two
years.

kuMOR OF RAILROAD BIZ THE
SEABOARD CREATES INTEREST,".

Seeonslderable interest has been
aroused int North Carolina over the
rumor published in the Rutherfordton
sun with reference to the extension
OF the Seaboard from that point to the
mountains. As was stated in the DEM
oerat last week, in past years there
was considerable talk of building This
road through Hendersonville
The following newspaper comment
on THIS subject will be of interest to
the people of Henderson county:
me Following is taken from the Will
mington Star of Sunday:
There is good news in the report
published by the Rutherfordton Sun
that the Seaboard Air Line officials
are figuring on extending the old
Carolina Central road from Ruther-
fordton to Asheville. We hope it is
true and certainly is one of the most
likely railroad propositions or posi-
bilities in this South Atlantic territory.
Extension of the Seaboard to Ashe-
vile would give the system a direct
line from deep water at Wilmington,
through practically the whole length
of the State From Rutherfordton to
Asheyille the road would have to be
built through mountains, but it would
rass through one of the most romantic
and beautiful sections of America,
giving the Seaboard Air Line noun
tain resort asset that would largely
Offset the extra heavy expense of build
ing such a line. 1t was the intention
of the original builders of the line
from Wilmington to carry it through
the mountains to western connec-
ton. The line was first known as the
Wilmington, Charlotte & Rutherford-
ton railroad, and it was largely built
by State and county aid, just prior to
and soon after the war"

GERMANY AFTER PLANTS?
Renort. Saws She Aims to Close Beth
lehem and Remington WORKS
fchicago Dispatch to N. Y. Times.l


Chicago Dispatch to N. Y. Times.)
Negotiations are in progress by the
German government through German
bankers for the purchase of the con-
troll of the Bethlehem Steel Compa ~
of South Bethlehem, Penn, and the
Remington Arms Company of Hart
fordfort, Conn, according to informa-
ton received by The Chicago Herald.
These negotiations are declared to be
on the eve of success. If the Germans
succeed in obtaining control of the
firms mentioned, the plan, according
to the reports, is to shut down the
works and thus prevent them from
continuing the manufacture of arms
and ammunition and other war ma
terial contracted for by the allies.
The only recourse of the allies would
he to the courts. Undoubtedly The
courts would compel the companies to;

TO pay them if she obtained victory in.
the war. She would merely add the
damages to the bill for indemnity.
1t is recognized in banking and bus
mess circles here that the matter is
OF the highest Importance to the allies
to Germany as well, According
to this theory, deprive the allies of the
output of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany and the Remington Arms Com
pany and they would be unable to
carry on the war successfully. The

ALAMANcE COUNTY GIRL GETS
LARGE PROFITS ON TOMATOES
Country Gentleman Carries Story of
IA Year Old Girl, Champion of 1914
. Canning Club.

| Chapel Hill, June 9.-The canning
club work in North Carolina and the
particular achievement of the cham
uion- winning girl of the Alamance
county club are exploited in 'sThe
Country Gentleman" this week. The
! department of Farmers of Tomorrow
OF that excellent agricultural journal
carried the story. Here it is:
when fourteen-year-old girl in
vests $24,47 in the cultivation of one
tenth of an acre of tomatoes and re-
allies from that single investmen:
| $148.23 in profits, there's a suggestion
of unusual intelligence and thrift!
| The case in point is that of Mary Rice
McCulloch, Of Alamance county, North
Cardinals champion for 1914. Her
yield was 2222 pounds of tomatoes and
she canned I'LL pounds. Here is her
own story:
1.-THE Stone and Earliana tomato seeds
were ordered by the club early IN
February. The season was wet and
my seed were not sown until March.
l put them into tobacco plant bed
covered with canvass. / transplanted
my plants on May 4, and again on May
IA I replanted them.
my garden was an oblong plot 33
feet by 1872 feet. The soil was of gray
ish loan. It had been sown to GRIM
son clover the preceding fall. The
land was broken with two-horse
plow on May 8. Then it was harrow
ed three times with a section harrow.
81 had one two-horse load of stable
manure scattered broadcast and har-
rowed under before the plants were
put out. About the last of July had
one-third of sack of fertilizer put on
my garden.
ST watered and set my plants on
June 1. Many of them died. / water
ed and planted twice again. At last
blowing the ground was covered with
dich dirt.
"I did; not prune or stake my plants:
MY lot was mulched with straw. /

worms.
81 gathered my tomatoes in tubs and
buckets and hauled them to the house
In grading, all the large and small
ones we're put in separate boxes. !
grew no: other vegetables on my one
tenth acre. I did most of my canning
at home. All my preserving was done
at home. :
The meaning of the club emblem,
to make the best better is working
toward perfection. I knew almost
nothing about canning when joined
the club. Have learned many things
about fruits and vegetables. / used
the recipes recommended by the club
for catchup, chow-chow, jellies and,
grape pice. This was my first year
in the club and enjoyed the work
very much.
Because of what Mary McCulloch
and the other canning club girls in
her county have done Alamance claims
a record for goods produced in 1914
by girls. The county invested $1771.25,
and from that expenditure produced
canned goods to the value of $70S9.6

Peas Pay On Summer Fallow Land

Moscow Star Mirror: Geo. O'Con-
ner today Nov. p, shipped the first
full car of peas ever billed from Mos
COW, the shipment going to John B.
Stevens Co. at Seattle, 400 sacks,
sold at cents per pound hree, netting
to the shipper $1,6O5.2l This ship
ment is practical demonstration of
farming opportunities here, and is the
forerunner of possible use of sum-
mer fallow land which should bring
hundreds of thousands of dollars to the
community. There is no reason why
Moscow should not be as much a pea
shipping point as Kendrisck is for
beans.
James O'Conner and his son, Geo. ,
came here two years ago from Kansas
and bought the Josephine Smith farm
Of 24O acres, a mile and half south
east Of Moscow, the latter operating
the place. He this year sowed 80
acres Of summer fallow to peas,
putting them in with grain drill and
cutting with a mower with pea har
