MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 7. 1914 The Negro And The Lemon. Monroe Enquirer. Frequently the hand of the law bears down too hard on the young offender, bnt when the Enqnirer hears that some youth or other has been Bent to the chain gang for a good long term for stealing some article of little value and the pro vocation to get hot under the collar about it is great and the temptation to write some hot stuff can hardly be resisted, Jihen it is that a case here in Monroe comes to mind. The conrt records, some years ago, showed that a colored boy had been sent to the chain gang for three months for stealing a lemon. Fel low citizens, it was enonght to make anybody mad. A great big Superior Court with judge, jury, lawyers and all officers and ma chiaery of the court, pouncing Iown on one poor little nigger and putting him on the chain gang for JO long days just because he had reached out his hand and had taken ju st one little old sonr lemon trorn a man who had bushels of ’em and plenty of money, too, was inough to make anybody mad. Preparation was made to submit a tew pointed remarks about the vhole piece of littleness on the part of the court. Before anything was written about the m atter, how ever, the Eaquirer man went out ind quietly investigated. H e found that the “ poor little nigger” was t'kusky, well grown, no account Ooy, about 17 years old, or- older; that he and work were strangers, that he loafed from the first day of January to the 31st day of Decem oer and had the same job the next year; that he waB the shrewdest, meanest and mosr persistent thief chat ever hit the town; and while everybody acquainted with him m e v that he made bis living by stealing it was next to an impossi oiiity to catch him, and when he was'seen by two or more persons co steal a lemon from a box in a store he was nabbed, tried, con victed and sent to the chain gang. He deserved every day he got. The court was gtimane. The “ poor little nigger” got off light and did not get what was coming to him. VYrath and tears had been in vain. And now when there comes the tearful- story abonl how some minor has been dealt so cruelly with by the courts the case of that “ poor little nigger” comes to us and we dry our eyes, let the wind blow our nose and do not get red in the face until all the facts in- the case are known.

Now ifTa mighty goud time . to siibcribe lor Tae Keeord if you are not getting it- The Maine Election. TheielectioniH M aineis always interesting, coming as it does;almost iwo months before the general elee iion in November. It is a kind of political barometer of the drift of publio eentiment throughout the entire country. “ As goes Maine io goes the union,” has come to be i-egardjid as a kind of political ixiom. Ifc cannot be put down as tn infallible test of public senti- nent throughout the country, how ever it hhs always been regarded is bighiy significant of the result in ofcherstates in the elections to ollow. From a Kepnbliean paint >f view the election in Maine last Tuesday; is entirely satisfactory, in fact, it is gratifyingly encouraging O f the four congressmen from Maine the Republicans will have three of them, the Kepnblicans having won out in the first, third and fourth districts, the Democrats being $Hccessful In the second dis trict The political complexion of the Maine delegation in the next congiegswill remain unchanged, being three Republicans . and one Democirat as in the present Con gress. This however is regarded as a great victory for Republican principles in view of the fact that two years ago the progressives sup ported th e Republican ticket, whereas this year they put up can didates of their own for Governor, and for congress in all the districts. As the Republicans have held their own In the congressional campaign shows cleaily that the eountry is strongly Republican on national issues.

The first picture you remember was the pic ture of a hero of some war. Tou went to Sunnay school and they taught you about how David and Saul and other heroes fought and you were taught to glory in the victories they won. Ton were taught in the day school yon at tended to glory in the figh ting of your countrymen, and your sehool history was well nigh filled with the story of fighting and war was uot held up to you »b a ghastly, bloody thing which made widows aDd orphans and brought woe and misery to the country. You were taught that the country’s greatest hero was not the inan who made a great scientific discovery, not the man who wrought one some piece of machinery which liberated labor and enslaved the. running stream, or harnessed the lightning or made steam his vassal. Roj you were taught that the greatest hero was the man who commanded armies which fought like hungry tigers. The man who rode his charger, foaih-fiecked, at the head of a line of fighting men, the fire of death in their eyes, was the man deserv ing honor above all other men— that was the teaching of your school book. You went to church and the preacher filled his sermons with lessons from the battlefields and told in glowing language of the valor of the man of war. AM your life long you have heard the war- rier lauded and his praises sung ten times more than you have beard the plain truth—-that war is hell— that its great mission is to make graves, leave homes desolate and till the land with sorrow.—Monroe Enquirer.

As soon as we can collect enough eash on subscription we are going to buy a bale of cotton. At this writ ing we haven’t enough money to purchase a cotton shirt. The more bales of cotton the peo ple buy at 10 cents a pound the lower cotton gets. The price has taken an other tumble, and is but 73 cents a pound now. ^ If the ladies would wear cotton hose and chop out the hobble and silk skirts and adopt the old fashion ed cotton dress that took ten yards of cloth, the price would go to tenor fifteen cents without any trouble. The Democratic Executive Com mitte; of Davie county has met and (indorsed the amendments and comes out flat-footed for a law to put all countv officers on a salary. The Re cord has favored putting the county officers on a salary for these many years, but our party for some rea son or other has always declined to mention this matter in their conven tions; The people of the county are with us on this matter, and it will not be IontJ until we have such a law. Can a Winston Democratic paper tell the truth? The Winston Senti nel, of the 1st, in copying an article from the Davie Record, call us tfce Davie Herald, and says that E H. Morris was defeated for the office of register of deeds in the Republican county convention. Mr. Morris was. not seeking the office of register of deeds of the county, and we hope we may be hung if we have ever had anything to do with a paper called the "Davie Herald." It will no doubt be surprising to many pjople of this section to know that in one county in Eastern North Carolina there are six or seven brandy distilleries in full operation. To the people of this section of the State this does not sound very much like prohibition. Strange that the eastern man is allowed to distill his fruit into brandy while the western man has to let his fruit rot. In our opinion it is against the law to make brandy anywhere in the State, and somebody is responsible for this vio lation of the prohibition law. Bad Fire at Footeville.

Are In DeathStruggle in Europe.— Fighting Still Continues. Paris, Oct. 5.—When the long' drawn-out battle in the north was resumed today there was a feeling in many quarters that decisive develop ments were imminent. Consequent Iy this afternoon the war office state ment on the battle of - the Aisne unique in the history of battles, was awaited with the greatest interest While the French realize the battle has not yet been won it does not seem to many of them that it can now be lost. If the allies win no doubt is felt that they will pay for it. The sacrifice on both sides al ready has been great. London. Oct. 5 —Fighting is re ported around Douai, fifteen miles from Arras, and if this is true,' Gen eral Von Kluck is in as dangerous f. predicament as he has been since the allies began their determined move ment to turn the German rig h t. in northern France. A lull befitting the day apparently prevailed Sunday along most of the great battle front. # London, Oet. 5.—In the eastern theatre of war the Germans would appear, according to English observ ers, to be contemplating a period of defense before undertaking the of fensive. They are engaged between thorns in East Prussia and Galicia in en trenching themselves against the Russian hosts gathering on the other side of the frontier. It is calculated there are no fewer than four million fighting men in the eastern arena and a repetition of the long arduous siege battles that have been a feat ure of the struggle in France seems certain. The Russians continue to push ease on Gracow, evidently with the hope of getting into Breslau, and they go on stretching their tentacles out southward toward Budapest. London. Oct. 5 —General V on Kluck, reinforced with troops from the German center,-continues hisde termined stand against the Allies' attempt to outflanK.him. The German report last night said that the battle was proceeding suc cessfully for them. According to the Russian ambas sador at Rome the Germans were routed completely with a loss of seventy thousand men. He Tells Why He Opposes “Ring.” Tjp t h e E d i t o r o f T h e J o u r n a l . " M yattentionhasjustbeen called to an editorial in today’s issue of The. Journal, in which you use the follow ing language in commenting on an article of mine which appeared in this week’s Davie Record: "If Mr. Morris is telling the trtrth.” Mr Morris tries very hard to tell nothing else but the truth, and he believes he succeeds. With your permission I will say a few things in explanation of my article: I was at tacking the political machine that dictates and manipulates the nomi nations. In 1910 I was nominated in the primaries for the Legislature, and cheated oflt of it in the conven tion. One of the heelers of the ma chine laughed, and told how it was done. I announced myself a candi dates this year on Aug. 12, for coun ty trecsurer, and the machine soon saw that the people at the primaries would more than likely give me the nomination. So they rolled out Jim Siieek, one of the worst of the ma chine crowd, in order to present a nomination on the first ballot (Sec tion 11 under the Republican plan of organisation gives the party almost a voting primary.)- In the event,.no nomination is made on the first ballot the machine is prepared with dele gates whom they can control, and in this way manipulates the nomina tions and thwarts the will of the peo ple. I did not attend the County Con vention. The duties of my position required . m y presence elsewhere. But afriend informed me that I would have been nominated for the Legislature had not a friend with drawn my name. ’I had expressed mvself prior to the convention, that if certain men were nominated that I could not run on the ticket with them. I could have been a county officer years ago, had I wished to be come a complacent and pliant tool of the intolerable machine. . I am one of those men, Mr. Editor, who does not believe that we are do ing our duty to ourselves, our coun ty and State, when we march up to the polls and swallow immoral and bad men just because “one party” sees proper to force them on the people. Mr.. Taft while President went to Cincinnati and voted against the corrup Cox machine In his own party, and every decent self respect ing cit'zen of the country,, regard less of party, applauded his moral courage. It does look like, at the dawn of this. the twentieth," century that we should be broad enough, brave'enough, and patriotic enough, to do our duty as good citizens re gardless of party I have never wanted office bad enough to get down in the dirt and mire, and do dirty and disreputable things to get it. I am against the Republican ma chine in Davie county, not because I am a defeated office-seeker, but be cause ! believe in common, every day decency, regardless of office. - Your truly, E H. MORRIS.

Everybody is invited to attend and hear the issues of the day discussed by this gifted orator,. Government Can Take No Action. In connection with the hope for Government aid, the following is not very encouraging and it would seem that in this cotton question every State must take care of itself: Washington, Sept1tIl.—Afterlong consideration Federal officers are convinced the government can take no further steps to aid cotton pro ducers to meet unusual conditions caused by the European war. The Treasury Department has announced its determination to use warehouse receipts as a basis for additional na tional bank currency but friends of a plan for valorization of the cotton crop have not succeeded inconvincing government officials of its desirabili ty. Officials who have studied the situ ation fee! that any remedy to be taken lies in the cotton men them selves and in the state legislatures. Some of th e s e students believe valorization of a part of the present crop by the cotton producing states is entirely feasible and would prove helpful. The idea is held here a mong government experts also that state legislature, where necessary, should pass legislation to limit the crop next year and for succeeding years if desired. It was pointed out today that fur ther Federal measures to aid the cot ton men might bring down on the government a demand from other sections for similar assistance. Those familiar with conditions in the South say it has b^en demonstrated' for years that a reduction in the amount of crop would work no hardship, but be to the advantage of the producers. Pasteffortsto insure a reduction have failed and the chief hope now is in legislatien which would tax over-production. Farmers Threaten Democrats. W a s h i n g t o n , O c t .

The price of cotton remains areund nine cents, with seed eotton bringing about $3=25 per hundred.

Not a bale has been purchased in this city to our know ledge, The new' safe and- table factory just north of the depot is about ready to begin operations, but on account of the war and other things it is not known just when it will begin opera tions.

W, Littleton, of this city, con ducted the-funeral services Thursday morning, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Society burial grounds. Mr. Swisher was a good man and will be missed in his community. He was the father of Romus Swisher, who was killed two or three years ago at a threshing. DistiIfiog in Nash County. W e all learn something we did not know almost every day. For instance, it develops that apple brandy is being made - down in in Nash county, the place where they used to make, the best artical kuown. When a*man got hold ot Nash county bra ndy he was heeled. The only trouble was it did not last long enough. A deputy collector is just back from a visit to. that county where he was sent to check up the distillers, all of whom have government license. He says at one place be found about 150 gal lons of brandy, at another over 2,000 gallons of fiae cider which, is to be made into brandy. The point that is new is how is it they are permitted to make brandy? H nder the prohibition law a raiser ol grapes can make wine, but it is said this cannot be sold—a pro ducer can make a little for the stomach’s sake, bat it seems hot to have been known that brandy could be made. A number of gentlemen supposed to be iamiliar with the prohibition act express astonish rnent, but these Nash county men surely know what they are doing or they would not engage in it. The deputy collector found every thing all right so far as the internal revenue laws were concerned and of course he did Dot molest them. It may be there is a provision in the prohibition law that permits people in certain counties to make brandy, but if Nash qpunty can make it, why not AVilkes and a number of other western counties where they grow sure enough ap pies? Meantime a number ot Greens Lint cotton is 7 | cents, seed cotton is S cents and cotton seed 22£ cents per bushel today. Sugar is 8 cents^ John Truelove has moved into the Horn house near the depot, and Pink Ratledge will occupy the Bailey house on Salisbury street. The weatherbureau calls for rain today.

TOT PREMIUM ON MATBiMQNY Many Homely Women With Fortunes With to Wed, Declares This New Yorker. There are plenty of homely women with fortunes who wish to get mar- jried. This is declared by Ealph jTTpmrifln, thirty years old of 34 Riv- erdale avenue, Yonkers, N. Y., who is trying to select the right one to marry. He advertised in a Yonkers newspaper for a woman to become ihis wife, and in his specifications jfor a helpmeet stated that he would iprefer a homely one with a lot of imoney. Extra postmen had to be isent to deliver the mail received for (the advertiser. Mr. Herman, >who is connected jwith the Medical Hebrew, a weekly jpaper published in New York, de clared he wanted a wife with enough ^money to set him up in the printing ,business. “Two or three that answered my ‘ads’ have money and are anxious to marry me,” he said. “I want a homely wife who will be practical and stay at home and not think about society.” One of the replies Herman re ceived from a Yonkers woman reads: “I have been looking, as I thought, in vain for a man who would appre ciate my wealth and forget my home liness, and in you I think I may find the real partner. You may hold the pocketbook if I may hold your heart.- You will never meet another whose homeliness compares with mine. No man has ever held my hand because he did not know the value of it. I am impatiently await ing an answer from my heart’s de sire.”—New York Telegram. TIPPING OFF THE AUDIENCE After That, No One Could Say He Didn’t Know What He Had to Expect.' When Bepresentative James B. !Afiwell of Natchitoches, La., was superintendent Of schools for his state he made a tour of Arkansas for the purpose of persuading the Ar kansans to submit to heavier local taxation for the benefit of the public schools. Mr. Aewell has never been a dub in the art of speaking, and on this jtrip he fairly burned up the countryside with' his eloquence, in ducing the rural populace to part with real money. One night he was to face an audi ence far back in the country, in a neighborhood that had never been profaned by the screech of a locomo tive or the soft rumbling of a spring wagon. At the appointed hour the farmer who was to introduce him stepped to the front of the platform, mopping his brow with a bandanna and gasping for breath. He then- spoke as follows, with all the labor necessary to overturn a house or up root an oak: “Ladies and gentlemen, you know I ain’t used to makin’ no speeches. I ain’t never pertended to be no oraytor. Besides, it’s a hot night, a powerful hot night, an’ you wouldn’t expec’ me nohow to wear you out with a long speech. But I’ll now introduce a man who will.”— Popular Magazine. EXPLODING MINES BY LIQUID AIR. Experiments are being conducted in Germany to discover the usability -'of liquid air and liquid oxygen as explosives for mines. The liquid oxygen is mixed with aluminum pow der and detonated, producing a force two and a half-times that produced by black powder. One advantage that it possesses is that no bad fumes are produced.—Coal Age. MIGHT BE A LONG WAIT. Fisherman—If you’ll take a pic ture of me catching fish I’ll buy it of you. Photographer—Very good.

DID HIS PART. “But if your mother does odd jobs to support the family, what does your father do?” ^ wOh, he gets the jobs for mat” SOME FARMERS GET NO WAGE With Many the Income Is Said to Be AU From Investment, None From Labor. One measure of a farmer’s success is the amount of money which he has left to pay him for his own labor after he has met all other expenses of running his farm, writes D. W. Frear in the Breeder’s Gazette. The legitimate running expenses of the farm do not include personal, living or household expenses. This sum received by the farmer for his own labor for the year is his labor in come. Some farmers are making labor incomes about as large as their hired men and some are making good yearly salaries. Others are receiving little or nothing for their labor. Their farm income is largely or en tirely from the interest on their in vestment. Farmers who are not making labor incomes equal to the wages of a good hired man would be better off financially if they would sell their farms, put their money out at interest and work for wages. An example will make this plain. Assume that a farmer has a farm income of $1,500, and. that his farm investment is $20,000. Interest on this at six per cent, is $1,200. The difference between this amount and $1,500, or $300, represents his labor income. If his net income is only $1,200, then ,he has no labor income and is working for nothing. Farmers should keep sufficient rec ords of their business to enable them to determine their labor income. This means taking an inventory at the opening and closing of the year and keeping a record of the expenses and receipts. If a farmer is not making ordi nary wages in addition to a fair rate of interest on his investment, he ought to know it, and then take steps to learn why and to correct the trouble. On the other hand, some farmers are making more than good interest on their investment and wages for the time which they put in. If they are not making as much money as they would like it may be because their investment is too small and the time they actually work too limited.

That is a fainiliar queB tio n at a newspaper office and over tbe tele phone to the editor. If answered 'in the negative, as sometimes is about half p a s t three o’clock on, Monday or Thursday, then the next question is, “ Can’t yon put th?s p»<vp i-!” ‘‘This piece” is an a'tid e a column or two loDg, which could have as -easy been handed in two days before. It is things like this that make the newspaper man’s life a burden and turu his hair gray before its time. | The average person seems to think that “ pieces” are pot into the paper with a coal shovel, and that it is no use handing them ■ in until j ust before going to press. In fact if they had a fourth of July speech or a long report of a school ^losing to go in they would think it ample time if they got to the office at 3:39 and would expect to see it in the paper on the streets at precisely four o’clock. It takes time to set up things, and if anybody haft anything to go into the paper, let him get it to the office just as soon as he can, the sooner the better.—E s.

Mills Shutting Down. We are indeed sorry to hear o ) so many mills shutting down. Sorry not only for the owners, bul also for the operatives those whose meat and bread depends upontheii running. And they are not shut ting down to hurt the administr^ tion, either. We rather it wap that way. Then Mr. Wilsonwoivld have them took out and hanged, aud set up that little legalized reigu of anarchy he threatened. But the owners are not shutting down to hurt the administration, but. because the administration has done gone and so hurt them that they had to shut down or bust. However, they will be more Christ ian than Mr. Wilson—they won’t hang the administration, b u tat the next election, they will vote for their own interest and the interest of thg operatives of the mills and the good of the country generally, instead of party —Times-Mereury, Wbat Would You Do?, T h e r e a r e m a n y t i m e s w h e n o n e m a n q u e s t i o n s a n o t h e r ’s a c t i o n s a n d m o t i v e s . .

As A Democrat Sees Things. There was held in Baleigh some rime last summer a kind ofa thitik chat was called a Democratie Con vention, It made its pronounce ments, dodged the issues it did not <ike,. adjourned-and went home. A Democratic Legislature had ap: pointed a committee composed of she trusted leaders of the party to formulate eertain amendments to the constitution of North Carolina. Fhe ancient document served its DRINK mission well but is not adapted to present necessities and Sadly needB Aome patching. This committee ^ent to work and formulated such imeadments as the m e m b e rs thought necessary to meet out pres ent dap needs. The aforesaid con vention, instead of heartily endors ing the^amendments and commend ing them to the democracy of the state, sidestepped them oh the ground that they were non-partisan and therefore it was highly impro per for a partisan body to have anything to do with them; but they proceeded to pick out the most non-partisan of the whole ten and earnestly commend it to the favor able consideration of the voters. VVhere are the nine? Out in the coldi' unfathered and unblessed by the men who are supposed to shape the policy of the party, and nail down the planks for the candidates to walk in on. But the funny part of the story is yet to come. Along comes the Bepublicau convention and with practical unaBimity and fine enthusiasm swallows, the whole ten planks framed by their oppon ents,.prohibition and all! They proceeded to write a very excellent platform and hand it out to . the voters of the State for their consid eration. And sp we have the strange situiSROii Of -Onei -political- party turting its own offspring out into the cold world and' ailother political piarty biking the trembling thing to its bosom and pressing it warm and lo.ving heart. Nothing' exactly like this, has bccurred in this generation and our readers can pay their money and take their choice, lorw e have no advice to offer. We are sitting on the fence and enjoying the entanglement of the brothea. W hat is the correct definition of the political status of a man who votes the Bepublican ticket in order to make effective Democratic legislation! It is ' a more momentous question than the one Joe Caldwell used to ask iu the Charlotte Observer: “ W hy do a rabbit wobble its nosel” —Charity and Children. N U M B E R 1 3 D R .

This road begins at the northern end of town by cutting down the knoll between the Hanes and Miller houses. Runs with the old road for about half a mile to theRobt. Wilson place. Here to avoid the hills at Lisha creek, it goes down the ravine at the foot of Lane’s hill and crosses the Campbell bottoms and the creek, four or five hundred feet up the creek from the old bridge. There is a long fill four or five feet high across the bottoms with a sixty foot steel bridge across the creek Theroadthen goes up through the field and comes out into the old road on the ridge near the Main settlement. Follows the old road through Main till just beyond Main it branches to the right and for some three miles runs abouthalf way between the Farmington road and Smith Grove road. Crosses Dutch man creek at the upper end of what used to be Brown’s mill pound. Gemes out into the Farmington road at the Corner house. There is a force now at work near Dutchman creek and one near Lisha creek. “The Mills of The Gods Grind Slow Bnt Exceedingly Fine.” E d i t o r R e c o r d : — I h a v e b e e n l i v i n g u n d e r a d e l u s i o n all t h e s e y e a r s .

London, Oct. 9.—With the excep tion of operations around Antwerp the reports on the European conflict were meagre today. The French of. flcial statement tonight announced that there was nothing new to re port along the immense battle line, except that there had been an en gagement in the Roye region, where', in the lasttw o days, the French had captured sixteen hundred prisoners, TheGermans are using hundreds of large caliber guns on the Antwerp bombarement and the city is being demolished in some sections. The reports late today were that the city was burning in several quarters. The morning Post publishes a statement declaring that it has been informed on good authority that the city has fallen. The offlcical press bureau says it is unable to confirm the re port. A wireless from Berlin tonight said that it is , reported there that King Albert of Belgium has been slightly wounded. The admiralty tonight annouced that the naval air men made a successful attack on the German airship shed at Dusselldorf flying ever one hundred miles into the enemy’s territory on a raid. The bomb dropped through a shed roof and destroyed one Zeppelin. A Ber lin wireless says that the Austrain general staff announces the Russian invasion of Hungary is completely broken up and that the recent at tacks on Przemysl have been repulsed with heavy losses to the Russians. On the other hand the Russian am bassador at Rome, while denying the report early.,today that Przemysl had fallen, added that the whole town was on fire, and its- surrender was inevitable. Rome dispatches say the Austrian imperial: palace and: other' public buildings at Innsbruck, Aus tria, are being prepared as. quarters for the court and ministers in> the event of a transfer of capital, which WastakenasindicatingtheAiiRtriariQ are not so confident as they would have believed. The Cettinje dispatches declare that cold weather is playing havoc both with the Montenegrins and the Austrians, and that several Austrian detachments have been compelled to retire. Snow already covers the mountains and nights becoming ter rible on men. Germans Capture Antwerp. “The number of prisoners cannot be estimated. W etook an enorm ous amount of supplies of all kinds.” The occupation' of Antwerp was annouced to Brussels by notices post ed on the walls. The news caused astonishment as the population had Jieen led to believe Amtwerp was im pregnable. A Berlin report say the heavy guns have been sent, to France.' If this is true, probably the Verdun forts along the French frontier, which are hindering the German advance, .are to be attacked. In this case, how ever, there is a big field army behind the forts, for that -white their de struction would make progress easier for the Germans, it would not abso lutely ensure their advance. Of the battles in Galicia and Po land the Russian staff has decided to say nothing for the present, but the Austrians declare a recent attack on Przemysl was repulsed and that, the Russians have evacuated trenches on the western front, which the Aus- trains occupied. The Austrians also claim victories over the Russians at Lancut and Dynowin Galicia. It isknown that they have received reinforcements. This, Petrograd admits, has compell ed* a change in the'plans of the Rus sian army. TheGermanforts, warships and aeroplanes are trying vainly to ar rest the Japanese advance. W eare sustaining no damage. TwoGermans aeroplanes, which seem to choose Sundays for their visits flew over Paris today. They dropped a score of bombs, which killed three persons and wounded 20, but did net material damage. P artof theAntwerpgarrison and' two thousand of. the British naval volunteers, who crossed into Holland and laid down their arms, have been interned.and.will have to- remain there until the end of the war. Some of the Germans also unwillings cross ed the frontier . and:: were treated similarly. Qf refugees thereappeato to be no end. The Dutch towns are crowded with people w noiaft their homes in Belgium. — Only One “ BROMO QUININE’? ' QPWtoB- -Wiokfor signature of B- W. GROVE. -Cores aColcf in One Day.

W hat farmer wants money ,for four months?' If he needs a loan now, he will need it worse in four months. According to the wise government plan, he can’t; get the loan extended. The cotton must be sold at whatever it will bring. The speculators wili buy it and hold it for .20 or 25 cents, provided they can scare you not to plant any in the spring.

Uncle John On The War Situation. Progressive Farmer. Been to town, TTncle John?” asked the agricultural man, as TJncle John, astride his gray mule, drew up by the side of a field the deemonstrator, as Unele John call ed him, was inoculating prepara tory to planting.crimson clover. ‘Yes,” said the old man, “ I hearn that they wan’t no market fer cotton, so I 'lowed I'd go to Laurel and see the Hieks Mercan tile about it, an', by gum, I found they didh’t want no cotton shore 'nuff! I went all over town an’ ast every teller I seen ,an’ the best any of ’em would do was to offer to loan mn twenty-five dollars a bale on it. Said they didn’t want to buy it at all; that Y irrup and Stir up wuB in a big rueus, an’ all the ships wus sunk an’ the mills shot down, an’ that them fool furriners wus so buzy a shootin’ each other that they wuz a payin’ mighty little attention to whether they had any clothes or not, any way. “ Yes,” Uncle John went on, taking a chew of Navy, “ it seems that a feller over there they call the Kayser got to eachin’ fur a fight, an’ pulled off his coat an’ axed the Gzar of of snmthon’-or- other what he wuz gein’ to do aboat it. Then the Czar didn’t say nothin’, but started to shuckin’ his coat, too. From this the thing started, an’ now they say that Ire land an’ Jay-pan an’ JTovy Scoshy air into it, with Turkey an’ Pee- ru a gettin’ ready, an’ that what they all want ain’t cotton, but sum pthin’ to eat. “ W hat gits me,” grumbled the old man, picking in s teeth with a splinter from off the rail fence, “ iu that I acted the fool again thiB year an’ didn’fc plant mneh-cOm, thinkiu’ I ’d strike it rich with a big crop o’ cotton. I made the cotton, all right, bat now I can’t sell the stuff. Didn’t plant much corn, an’ the early drouth got it, an’ now it’s np to a dollar an’ a quarter a bushel an’ likely to go higher. “ Say,” he concluded, palling his mule away from the rank grass in the fence, corner, preparatory to riding on, “ wfaat wuz that I hearn you a saying’ tother day about treatin’ oats fer smut? I bought ten bushels today an’ wish you’d come over an’ help me put em in right. I c’n put in my clover the same day an’ you o’u help me out on the monopolation. I got stnng pretty bad all aroun’ this year, what with this war an* me being an ole fool besides, but next year one thing’s certain: I may raise some cotton, but yon c’n bet; your bottom dollar I ’ll raiBe sumpthin’ for me an’ my folks an’ critters fust.” Toned up Whole System; ; : ‘Chamberlain’s Tablets have done more for me than I ever dared hope for,” writes, Mrs. Esther Mae Baker, Spencerport, N.

If Taft or !Roosevelt was Presi dent and if eottoa was oaly 6 1 2 or 7 cents sugar 10 and meat 20; the saw mill shut down and no market for the lumber on hand; knitting mills and furniture fac tory shut down—some all the time, some part of the time and- the others say they are making no money; if eotton mills were shut down—gome all the time, some ruuniug only in day time, some only four or five days in a week, afud most of the' others making no money; and millions of people out of employment—as is the case in this nation today—every body knows that the Democrat papers would be full ©f howling and ehargiBg it up to the Republican administration. 'A ndany Bull Monse or Republi can editor who would attem pt to1 answer the Democrats editors by calling them, or any one of them “ A perpetual motion calamity howler,” would be considered a fool by all sensible people, the Gas tonia Gazette to the contrary not withstanding.—Hickory Mercury, Eve was probably, the only wom an in the world who never gave her neighbors any cause tor gossip. One Way to Help is to Buy at Home1 E v e r y t h i n g . !While we are talking about eight cent eotton and short tobaeco m-op and'hard times and all the other ill| that can be imagined, did it ever occur to you that you could avert many financial disasters _ if youHWould do all your trading at heme? Do you-know that the- big mail ordet houses have, grown rich off of people in distaut States; and the big: mail order house has never contributed one dime to support that;.- State? Do you- know that everry time you spend a dollar a way from heme you reduce the strength of your home town? Do you know that your local merchant and your local manufacturer de servec your support and when you support him-you are aiding, your self? AU this iB true. And right now, more than at any. ether time, you should do all your trading at home. Don't think because you get some allnfiag offer from a mail order house that you. will save money. You might save a few eents on the order,you send in, but you lose more by getting your money away from yenr section. Keep the South’s money in the South, and always bay/at home.

The war is still moving along, and the price of cotton is nearly as low as it was in 1893. We hope for an early raise in the price of cotton, and that the war may soon be a thing of the past. We have between five and six hun dred subscribers who are behind with their subscriptions. We are badly in need of cash, and would appreci ate it if you would bring or send us your renewal. If yoji haven’t the money, bring us a load of wood, a basket of eggs, a piece of meat or a bushel of potatoes. With everything high and getting higher, it is impos sible for us to run a paper without collecting the amounts due us. We trust that you will assist us at this time. TfaefarmersofDaviecountywould do well to put their cotton land in corn, peas, oats or other crops the coming year. If the war continues for a year or two, and it looks now as if it will be a long drawn out af fair, there will be enough cotton in this country to last the mills for two or three years. Itseems now that the fifteen and a half million bales produced this year would have to be sold for less than ten cents per pound, even with a Democratic Congress and Mr. Wilson President. They are not able to give the farmer any re lief. Cyclone Crashes Through Concord. Concord, Oct. 15.—Traveling with the speed of a bullet and wrecking houses like a siege gun, a cyclone of mighty force crashed through the city this afternoon injuring people, overturning'houses, upturning trees and striking terror to the inhabit ants. Thecyclonecameas suddenly as its force was terriffie. Ail during the morning rain fell and about 2:45 it began to fall more copiously. Sud denly there was a mighty roaring sound, and before many people could realize what had happened the- cyc lone had come and passed. Several people on the streetB were blown to the ground, while others caught telephone poles and trees for More than 100 houses were dam aged and a score are total ,wrecks. About 15 people were injured;- but none fatally. Am Not A Democrat. Editor Record:—I wish to correct any false impression as to my - posi tion in this campaign.

WAR STILL RAGING. Ostfihd Takes By Germans—British , ; Cruiser Sunk. London, Oct. 16.—The British press concedes the taking of Ostend would be a moral and spectacular victory for Germans but of no great strategic significance. The arrival of the Germans near Ostend straightens out their line in Belgium so it new runs almost due south, connecting, with their forces in France. London, Oct. 16.—The British crui ser Hawke has been sunk in the North Sea by a German submarine. From the cresv of four hundred only fiftyweke saved. Paris, Oct. 16.—The steady ham mering of the allies on the German Ieftw ingof theFrench battle line has brought them almost within can non range of the forts at Metz. In spite of this menace, part of the German Crown Prince’s army hangs on doggedly to the positions it has taken in Meuse near St. Mihiel. The fighting on this end of the long bat tle line is said to have been desper ate bn the part of both sides during the past week though overshadowed for a time by the operations of the allies’ left. More important develop ments, however, are looked for be tween Meuse and Mosselle. while the Battle of the Four Rivers goes on in the west. Copenhagen, Oct. 16.—Important German reinforcements, especially artillery, have been sent to the west front, according to’ well informed source. At Bragdenburg twenty- eight trains of reinforcements passed in one hour, all packed with men and horses Theestimated number of troops was between three hundred and four hundred thousand. „ -Germans are.reported to havesuc- cessfully: Occupied Belgien seaport —battle line now extends to the sea and neither arihy can flank the other —Germans are expected to make desperate effort to break through the line—British cruiser is sunk—five million men are engaged in the great battle in the east.

And as a result there will nos be money to meeting the running expense^, of the government. Had theW iIson administration redeemed its pled ges ior an economical administra tion of the affairs ot the country the Washington government m ig h t have been able to get along without levying “special taxes,” which FresideBtW ilson is now urging upon congress the necessity of doing in order to save the national treas ury from a condition of bankruptcy. The estimated deficit is $100,000,- OOO and this money must be raised by additional heavy burdens in the form of “speeial taxes,” or be forcod to issue bonds to meet the ordinary running expenses of the government as is being done by the Democraticparty here in North Carolina. The Democratic congress, eom ^leteiy doraiB atedasit has , been by President Wilson, cut and slashed the tariff to that extent that it does not raise snfficent rev enue to run the government. Our Demoeratic friends in order to escape the responsibility for the depleted condition ot the treasury are endeavoring te fix tbe response bility tor the deficiency in the treasury receipts upon the Europe an war. But the people are not fools and they will absolutely refuse to aceept their explanation. The truth of the matter is, and the people know it, this very condition —this shortage of revenue—was upon the country before the Euro pean war was every thought of. As a result of Democratic tariff tinkering the imports received dur ing the fiscal year ending J une 30th of the present year was $102,000, • 000 greater than daring the previ ous year under Eepubliean policies. This $102,000,000 worth of goods of foreign manufacture w e re brought here under the free trade policies of the Democratic party to be placed on the market in com petition with products of American farms and manufactories. Every man with a spoouful of sense knows that as a result of the bringing of of this additional $102,O Q O 1O O O worth of foreign merchandise into this country our IarmerB and fac tories would be able to sell $102,- 000,000 less of their home products, and it is this very condition of things that has proven so ruinous to our people. But not withstand ing the fact that oar imports have so largely mcreased, there was a failing off in our tariff revenues of $32,000,000 during the correspond ing fiscal year. ■ The Underwood Simmons tariff bill is a great measure for stimulat ing the importation of foreign goods to the serious hurt of our industries but as a revenue produc er it has already proven a failure. This is the natural result of the free trade policies of the Wilson administration. A ndw e call the attention of our readers to these facts ty shew them that this deficit was on the country before the European war was ever thought of. President Wilson j iu his message to congress asking for the $100,- 000,000 to be raised by special taxes, expresses h is confidence “ that the people of the eountry are ready to supporlf- the government with generous self-denial and that they will be intolerant only of those who are not fraDk with them.” Io this the President is right. The people will be generous, but they will be intolerant when the Presi dent and his congress are not frank with them; and the attempt that is being made to place the responBi bility for the deficiency m the government's revenues1' upon the war, instead of upon Democratic tariff blundering, is evidence oi tbeir lack ol frankness.

Let Congress and the Senate out down expenses from the President’s mansion down to the lowest clerk in the District Court or Collector’s Too much of the people’s money is being foolishly and recklessly spent. Members of congress and the senate gobble up raillyiits in unnecessary mileage. It takes entirely too many elerks Co run the various departments. Porters, p a g e s , Bhoeshisers, sweepers, etc,, around the public buildings is W ashington, are as bees in a rose bash. All doing aomparatively nothing and getting big pay. Millions are spent in printing political decaments for Congress men and Senators to send broadcast over the land. The Seed business is run at a big axpense and two-thirds of the seeds sent out are no good. Every day some nefr seheme is hatched np to let 'some favored party pet to the “ Pie Counter,” C utdow nandcut ont all un necessary expenses and there will be no need of any “ W ar Tax.” There are men in N orth Carolina today drawing pay from th e .

Forsome caase the lumber peo ple can sell more lamber at 'high prices, then they can manufacture, under a Bepublican administra tion. but under Democratic rule the prices drop and many mills are forced to shut down. The lumber people all know this is true; but still some of them will continue to vote theDemoct-ic ticke.—Strange, isn’t it. Por some cause the railroads have all the traffic that they can handle, and declare large divi dends under Bepublican Adminis tration, but under Democratic rule traffic falls off and hundreds of thousands of cars stand idle on ,the side tracks W hile the offieials are begging the government to allow them to increase the freight rate In order to keep out of the hanns of receivers. The railroad men all know this is true, bnt some of them will continue to vote the Democratic ticket.—Strange, -isn’t it! For some cause the working peo ple have steady work and full din ner pails, under Bepublican ad ministration, but under Democratic rnle many of them are thrown out of employment and are forced to tram p over the country and beg bread from house to house. The working people all know this iB true, but some will continue to vote the Democratic tieket.—Strange, isn’t Ut Some Democrats who have been defeated in the recent primaries, are now complaining because Denio- stole their votes., But when these same Democrats were stealing :Be- publican votes, those who are now kicking approved of the theft, They are now having to take their own medicine; we kn<Jw it is bad; but it will perhaps do them good, they should follow the directions.— Shake well before taking.—Clinton News-Dispateh.

'if that Flench turpinite gnn can kill 1,600 Germans at one shot, as a “ veracious” chronicler, affirms, it is a wonder there are any live Gerisans left in front/ of the allied armies in France. Bnt there seem to be quite a large number of them and in very vigorous and aggres sive condition. From w hiph'w e infer that there may be more gas in the stories about the gun than in the gun itself, or else those Ger mans have more lives than a cat. Certainly, the chap who is al ways in hot water “ cuts no ice” ia this life. I Welcome, Germans! C o l l t e i fS. After this war we shall have a large German immigration. When the German soldiers now in the field return to their homes they will find their customary industries disrupted, and in many cases, their families broken np. Rvery econo mic condition they face will stinm late them to come to America. In addition, they will be spurred on by the taste of adventure and wandering they will have had in the .army. The same thing hap pened after thp Franco Prussian War of forty'three years ago. For some of the best elements in our population, and some of the best individuals in oar public and busi ness life, we are indebted to that conflict. In the same way this na tion will be helped is every respect by this indirect resnlt of the pres ent war. We have no better im migrant than the German. why Not Publish it?

Also ask him whether he favors a dog law? , The meanest thing Senator Sim mens has done this year was to vote far the war tax to be taken off of beer and placed on gasoline. What does the prohibition Democrats think about this? The Republican Senators, assisted by a few honest Democrats, saved this country over $30,000,000 by • de feating the rivers and harbors bill as first drawn. When you begin cuss ing the Republicans remember this. Some few papers have been carry ing articles advising the people not to eat too much. Not much danger with the price of everything goirg up, and money so scarce that an honest man cannot get enough of the filthy lucre to make even a miser jealous. It is the duty of every man to go to the fells on election day and vote for the men of his choice. If you are a Democrat or Republican and can’t vote the ticket straight you can scratch the men whom you think unfit to hold the office, and vote for the best men out. No, Pauline, the bridges will be completed in Davie county whether or not Mr. C. G. Bailey is elected a county commissioner. A tax of 5 bents on the $100 has been added to the taxes to build these bridges, and it makes no difference who is elected commissioners the taxes will be col lected just the same. David said “All men are liars,” and he doubt less included the political wind jam mer along with the rest of us. v s W . F .

In the “ Most Popular Girl Con test,” which was held by Murdo,ck Bros., shows last week, Miss Mary Bailey Meroney won the Australian fox terrier puppy, given away by the show to the voung ladyreceiving the most votes. Miss Meroney received 9 785.500 and Miss Ivey Ijames re ceived over 8,000,000 votes. The contest became very lively, and much interest was manifested. and French reports that the Ger mans, finding it impossible to ad vance along the coast toward Dun- kirk owine to. the fire from the Brit ish and French warships, took a route a little more inland and have succeeded in crossing the Yser Canal, which the Belgians have been de fending stubbornly for a week to the west of Dixmude. The Germans also have made pro gress to the northeast of Roulers, which they still are in possession of and towards which the Allies were advancing last week. The Germans claim to have taken 500 British troops in the fighting in this neigh borhood. Of the gains claimed by the- Germans th e French report makes no mention, dismissing , the battle with the sentence: “There is no change to report between the sea and the region around Arras.” To add t® the trials of the troops engaged in the desperate fighting, a short spell of fine weather has given place to another downpour of rain which will convert the lowlands of Flanders into great lakes. Lineberry KiUs Gourley. A sad accident took place near Gooleemee last Friday mornig when Charles Lineberry. aged about 21, killed Bryant Gourley, aged about 16. The young men.had been to the; woods hunting, and on their return to town, they -were playing soldiers. One of the boys had a shot gun and the other had a rifle. When they, -weremear th&vhotel? Linefeerry drew? his shotgun and pointed it at Gonr- Iey, telling him to halt, or making some other remark. The young iran in some way discharged the shotgun, and the entire load took effect in Gourley’s chest, killing him instan tly. An inquest was held by Goroner W. D. Foster. The following gentle men were empanelled and acted on the jury: C. C. Tiller, W. M Click. Sam Benson, M. J.. Cline, J. T. Stew art, S. A. Bailey. They rendered a verdict that deceased came to his deate by accident. The deceased leaves a widowed mother, his father having been dead for sometime. Lineberry had been in the army, and had not been in the county long. This is indeed a sad occurence and should teach the people to be mighty careful with guns. They are mighty sorry things "to play with to say the least. Advance News. Most all of the people around here are through sowing wheat. Kev. J. T. Batledge spent one day last week in W inston.

Shortage .of Meat Because of War. Chicago, Oct. 20.—Shortage of a meat supply faces the world as a re suit of the European war, George L.

Light on the questions of the di-, iainishing beef supply, the waning herds on the American cattle ranges, methods to be adopted to induce farmers to raise tnore stock and the effects of the war on the cost of food products,'is expected to be shed by the convention which is to be in ses sion for three days. More than seven hundread representatives of five hundread packing and supply houses are attending the convention. Among subjects to be discussed by the con vention will be a request for the gov ernment to make an appropriation to stamp out tuberculosis in cattle and an appeal for the removal of the tax from oleomargarine.

Mr, Editor: The citizens and many visitors to the little town of Bidgeerest on the mountains may be interested in a little tragedy that occured in the vicinity many years ago. an account ot which has never been written as the writer is aware. On the east side of the ridge near the month of the big tUBnel there is a grave made 50 years ago. A niin was bnried there and has lain there all these long years un attended, unwept nnhonored and unsung; yet he was a man of stalwart build, young, and with hope and passion like other men. Some of the little children in the near by cottage, have heard of the lone grave ont on the moun tain, and whe at eventide the snn eoes down, they whisper with bated breath of the mystery and have been told a weird tale of ghosts and creeping things seen aad heard in this lonely place. It is for these I write this bit of history. In the bright and balmy month of June 1 8 6 4 the writer of these lilies tramped, from Morganton to Ashe ville with the stage coach filled with sick and wounded soldiers dragging far behind. On that same day a squad of soldiers left Ashe ville to guard a lot of prisoners to the army of Virginia. The guard was composed of 21 young men, usually called ju n io r reservers (mere boys) while they had under gaard 21 prison e ra o f w h a t were thought to be desperat men. They were not convicts as they had never been convicted of any crime more than being unwilling to fight for the confedercy. They kept out of the way until arrested and were placed iu charge of these inexperienced youths. As there was no railroad to Morganton they had to walk. The whole croud halted at the spring on the crest of the ridge near where the Baleigh scouts made their campin the sum mer, to take a little refreshment. By the way that spring is not there any more, the railroad and tnnne) having transfered it several bun died yards to the west. A t this stop one prisoner more (ourageous and perhaps more des perate than the others, having an opportunity while at lunch, whis pered to his comrades a plan of escape. It is likely his suggestion was hailed with joy, for after Ieav ing the spring and while descend ing the eastern slope at a given sig nal each prisoner grabbed the gon of his guard. So suddenlyw astbe assault and unexpected, that the prisoners succeeded and except one killed, escaped. The fight was of short duration, some of the prison ers anxious to get away clambered up the mountain side on the left while others jumped down into deep ravineon the right handside of the road. Two shots only were fired in that battle but they were both affective. One brave boy was shot through the breast and was killed instantly. The prisoner who it was thought planned the revolt was shut in the head by the brave young lientenant who com maoded the expedition. The man was not' dead when the writer arrived on the ground, a section of the skull was shotawa^from near the, top of the bead and Ihe brain was slowly oozing out on the ground while the man still breath ed, but it was soon over with the poor fellow and he bassed away. He was a large man aed had doubtless been in a scrap before as he had a great scar on his face as .if done with a knife or sabre. I have forgotten the names of both the dead men and would be grateful to anyone who knows anything of the circumstances, if they. would- cor respond with me. Doubtless some of the young men who composed that guard of fifty years ago may be Iiv ing. If so I would be glad to'hear from them. This will explain to the children and others the existence of this lonely and much talked of grave and perhaps quiet their fears as to the place being haunted. The kind mountaineers buried his body on the moutain, while: relatives and loved ones perhaps conveyed the dead soldier to his mountain home for a more decent durial. Should any one through curiosity or otherwise, feel moved Ho visit the grave on the mountain and to place a flower there. Miss Annie Moore, a young lady at Brookside Cottage at Ridgecrest,can and will, I am sure, point out the spot where the dead man was buried. ‘I came to the place where the lone pilgrim lay, , And pensively stood by his tomb, W henin alow whisper I heard something say, How sweetly I sleep here alone.’ The tempest may howl and the Iond thunders roll And gathering storms may arise, But calm is my spirit at rest in my soul, The tears are all wiped mine eyes.’’ from This is a bad year for kings.
