HOWARD NJ.
ROWE IS DEAD

When at ten O'Clock on Sunday
evening death claimed Howard M.
Rowe, sheriff of Wilson county, a
strong man and a splendid gentle
man died. A man known to almost
every citizen of this county and as
officer and man held in the affec-
tionate esteem by all the men and
women and children who knew him.
Since the 29th day of June when
Sheriff Rowe was stricken witr the
disease that eventuated his death
the entire county has been filled
with anxiety in regard to him and
when few weeks ago 1t became ap.
parent that he could not recover the
community became saddened.
In September, 1868 Howard
Rowe was born on Vance street, in
the town of Wilson, in the home
now occupied by Mr.. Tobe Ellis, on
ly few blocks away from the little
home in which he has just died. But
when he was a very small child his
father returned to Black Greek
township and it was there that How
ard Rowe spent his childhood anC
youth.
Sheriff Rowe was a member of +;
number of Fraternal organizations
the Masons, Odd Fellows, Pythian
and perhaps others, and we are in
formed the Masons will assist in thu
burial rites tomorrow morning. Tn,
funeral services will be held from
theresidence at ten o'clock, Rev. wv

church officiating.
The Sheriff is survived by hi
widow, Mrs. Esther Rowe and b

SPECIE REDEMPTION IN CHINA

Peking. An agreement recently

NEW DRAFT AGE BILL UP TODAY

Washington, Aug. 5.-Legislation
to extend the selective service act to
all men between the ages of Is and
As, as recommended by the War De-
partment, will be introduced in both
houses of Congress today at the semi
weekly recess session. According to
plans of congressional leaders i'm
pending their vacations here the bill
which will be identical as introduced
in each house will be referred to the
Senate and House Military Affairs
Committee, of which Senator Cham
berlain and Representative Dent are
the respective chairman.
Though the House does not re-
assemble until August 9, and the
Senate on August "a, it is expected
that the draft extension bills will be
enacted speedily. Chairman Dent
of the House Military Affairs Com
mittee today said he would call his
committee together as soon as the
House reassembles and hearings are
held.

According to the permanent plan

Carolina is approximately S2.45 per

wheat would be $2.41 and the price
for No. 3, into which cost Of the
wheat in North Carolina this year
will fall, would be approximately
$2.3S with proper grades ranging

These prices of wheat are not fix
ed. The mills are allowed definite

such price for wheat as is warrant
ed by the prices they receive for

the law of supply and demand. In
all probability wheat will sell at the
mills in North Carolina at $2.35 to

$1,2OO.OO TO THE RED CROSS
Mclaughlin & Co. Of RaefOrd, N. c
Fined by Food Administration

Raleigh, Aug. 5.-A voluntary
contribution of $1,000 to the Red
Cross Society and the 0 '~',--- OF
North Carolina by the Mclaughlin
Company Of Raeford, N. c., was an
nounced by the Food Administra-
ton today, this contribution on be-
ing made by the Mclaughlin Com
pany in lieu of the issuance of a
blacklist order by the Food Admin
istration, which would have put the
Mclaughlin Company out of busi-
ness.
The Mclaughlin Company was
guilty of profiteering, having charg-
ed excessive margins on car load
of meat, it being estimated by State
Food Administrator Henry A. Page
that the excess profit was equivalent
to $1,000. In addition to profiteer-
ing, the Mclaughlin Company had
acted as wholesaler without IL
cense, had purchased larger quanti-
ties of foodstuffs than they were al
lowed to carry in stock at one time
and in other ways had disregarded
the rules and regulations OF the
Food Administration. Any further
violations by this concern would
probably result in blacklist order
Food Administrator Henry A
Page is of the opinion that there
has not been a great deal of profit
eering in North Carolina. Inspect
ors of the Food Administration have
been instructed to make exhaustive
investigations wherever profiteerine
is indicated, however, and any deal
ers who are found guilty of profit
eering and gross violations will bf
made to account for their offenses

FOR SEPARATE WAR
PROFITS TAX PLAN

Washington, Aug. 5.-A strictly
war profits tax, separate from all
other taxes, will be pressed with re-
newed vigor this week in the House
Ways and Means Committee engag
ed in framing the $1,000, ,000,0o0
revenue bill The position of'the
Democrats and Republic : Is who
have been trying so far in the exec
utvive sessions Of the committee to
win over the opponents Of sepa-
rate war profits plan has been
strengthened by President Wilson's
declaration in favor of a heavy tax
to reach all war profiteers and by
the fact that the excess profits and
income tax sections of the bill so
far tentatively accepted fall short by
considerably more than $1,000, ,000,-
900 of the $4,000, ,O00,O 900 allotted
to the two sections.
The committee has been discuss
ing without conclusion two main
war profits plans. One is a super
imposed war profits tax with max
imum Of 80 per cent on corpora
tio1s having more than 1000
capital, designed to reacn au5G cor
rcraticl profits. Its au hor IS Rep

er plan is an alternative pr tn, ex"

The Green super-imposed war
profits plan as revised to date pro
vides for a tax of 60 per cent on the
net income on corporations having
an investment capital of 100000
and not exceeding $350,0O0 after the
following deductions from the net
income The average net income
for the years 1911, 1912 and 1913.
and taxes upon corporations provid-
ed in other sections of the bill. At
ter making the same deduction, cor
porations with invested capital be-
tween $350,OO0 and $780, 900 would
betaxed 70 per cent on the remain
ing net income, and corporations
with capital in excess of 100000
would be taxed 80 per cent.
Congress will adopt some plan
to reach big corporations like the

UNLIKELY AGE LIMIT
BE REDUCED

Raleigh, N. C.-Senator McLen-
don Simmonds, who is at present in
the State resting between the ses-
| sions of Congress, does not think it
| will be necessary to reduce the age
limit for registrants to secure a
force large enough to whip Germa-
ny. The senior Senator thinks that
to advance the present age limit to
36 or 81 will provide enough men to
gain a decisive victory, but qualities
his opinion with the statement that
he has no positive information from
the War Department upon the size
of army it proposes to raise.
Senator Simmons reached Raj
eigh early yesterday morning, COM
ing here from his home at New
Bern. During the day he was in
conference with a number of the
Democratic leaders of the State.
Asked about Fayetteville and the
camps, the Senator indicated the
probability of Fayetteville getting 4
small arms training school as well
as the field artillery cantonment. He
could not speak positively about the
latter. With this addition to what
has already been assured for the
Cape Fear town, Fayetteville's pro-
ject from the government seems to
be growing in Importance and grad
ually expanding from what at first
looked like temporary affair into
a permanent training camp, sec
ond Chicamauga Park.
Although an avalanche Of politi-
cal rumors preceded the Senator'S
visit to Raleigh, he had very little
to say on the subject of politics
nrvey Of Statewide
,ressed the opinion
that only a very few counties would
observe a campaignless season but
at the same time, he said he did not
anticipate campaign fraught witt
bitter partisanship and politica
rancor. Although there were ad
mtted abnormalities to considei
this time, the Senator ventured tha
the State would roll up the usua

it is improbable that it will be re
