MAY 5, 1915 NUMBER 43 I l i IS CLEAR Recent Elections Fofeshadow Democratic Defeat. Leave No Doubt That the People Are Awake to the Disastrous Effects of the Policies of the Party In Power. No one wlio is fair-minded and can see things as they really are can help feelipg that the elections in Chicago ■ and St. Louis foreshadow the oncom­ ing tide that will sweep the Demo­ cratic party out of power which it now holds by default—only by de­ fault. But, gjven the chance, it has made good its record of disaster. It has paralyzed our industries; it has bankrupted the treasury; it has not passed a single economic measure that ought to have been passed. Tho Underwood tariff law has not done anything its-sponsors said it would do and has doiife'precisely what its oppo­ nents prophesied it would do. The federal reserve act would be the most stupendous economic calamity ever visited upon this country if it were allowed to remain on the statute books, it was born of a foreign con­ ception and bears tso relation what­ ever to our peculiar conditions and particular needs. it is a matter of ^mathematical demonstration that if Mlowed to go into complete operation it will cost this country $100,000,000 every year more than a right banking system would. The leaders of the administration may try to deceive themselves into the belief that the recent elections -have no significance, but had the re­ sult been reversed and the Democrats had won by the same tremendous_ma- jority that was given the Republican ticket In Chicago, the administration leaders would hare lost no time in proclaiming that the outcome was a vindication of Democratic policies. War Is Not the Cause. It is no longer possible to offer “the war” as a short explanation of the treasury condition. On-September 30 1913, Mr. Underwood predicted a de­ cline of customs revenues from about $2!i,000,000 a month to about $20,750,- 000. The actual collections to April I averaged $17,389/000, a loss more than made good t y the deficiency taxes. Wind refusal oh, the part of the party in power to heed the warning nine months ago of income tax re­ ceipts $4G,000,000 less than the esti­ mate, with expen ditures which have added to the deficit of $29,135,430 (ex­ clusive of Panamrt) a year ago.a pres­ ent deficit of $95,400(932 (exclusive of Panama), are responsible for the weakness of tho treasury's situation. Matter of “Coming Back.’* Ex-President Tatt declared a few days ago that' the RfcTmbIican party will come back. Thero were indica­ tions at the P.epublican dinner in Mil­ waukee of a. belief that . ex-Presideht TafL will ccune back. UinAsr any cir­ cumstances there is ample reason for doubt that the Democratic party will come back in 1916 unices it cancels during the period intervening some of the bad impressions it has m a.de slnce it vaulted into the sadidle two years ago.—Exchange. ■ ■ Rough Road Ahead. The lmpap sloncd denunciation of President Tfilson by Representative Fitzgerald of New York over the qoes- lion of p/jtronage indicates how Wide the lift ig becoming in the Demo­ cratic lute.

It may he true, as some Democratic leaders prefer to believe, that there la no signiiiyance in recent election re­ sults, but probably even they will’ad­ mit that it is a strange chain of cir­ cumstances- that gives the verdict al­ ways to the Republicans.

Hkrtman of Parmtnffv ton, Davie county, was in the city yesterday and it was learned that tie had just returned from a trip to the far Western Statesand Mexico, on which he was gone for more than three months and durinff which time he spent several days at the Panama Pacific Exposition at San Francisco. Accompanying: M r, Hartman to Winston-Salem was Mr, Leo Brock of Kansas City, Mo., whois spending the summer at hiseldi home in Farm­ ington. Mr, Brock and Mr. Hart­ man’s son, Mr, Guy L. Hartman of Kansas City, and Mr. John L, Casper of the same city, accompanied Mr, Hartman on the trip to the Pacific Coast. From Kansas City the party took the southern route via of El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico, They spent three days in Juarez and El Pasoand Mr. Hartman says that things seem to be getting in better shape in that section of Mexico, that business seems to be picking up. He thinks that the better class of Mexi­ can citizens are not hurrying to front to fight for either Villa or Carranza, out he says that he saw 11 and 12- /ear-old boys who had enlisted in the irmy, Villa whs in charge of Juarez and Mr, Hartman says everything vas calm and peaceable, so far as he iould see. but that many people went armed heavily. He said that soldiers were paid $2 a day for their services, out that $2 in Mexican money a- nount to only 20c in United States money. Mr. Hartman had a Mexi­ can dollar"bill with him for which he 'aveten cents. While in Juarez, the party attended a bull fight and cheraces. The party stopped over at the San Oiege Exposition for awhile and then vent to Catalina Island, 28 miles but n the Pacific. This was one of the nost interesting places visited on ;he whole trip. The island is practi- •ally a mountain, 27 miles long and seven miles wide. It is a fine fishing point and Mr. Hartman says that nothing on his tour was more inter­ esting than the hour or two he spent fishing near this island from a boat vith a glass bottom, through which the fish could be seen swimming in the waters of the ocean many feet below. Thepartyspentthree days at Los Angeles and proceeded to the great exposition at Ssn Francisco. Mr. Hartman doesn’t hesitate to say that in all that has'been written de icriptive of the Panama Pacific Ex­ position there has been no exaggera­ tion. Four days were spent taking in the sights of the exposition and the homeward journey over the northern route, via Salt Lake City and Denver, was begun. While away Mr, Hartman pur­ chased a new automobile and he made the trip in this from his home in Farmington to Winston-Salem yesterday. He is delighted with the new road and bridge across the Yad­ kin river, and believes that the road is going to be worth many thousands to the people of his county, as well as to Winston-Salem. He says the highway in his community is a favor­ ite “speedway” for automobilists from Winston-Salem and Salisbury now, and that on last Sunday 74 automobiles were counted passing th r o u g h Farmington.—Winston Journal. _________ Heat Wave Tbat Broke all Record* At Last Subsided.

A Pidsresque Batde Is NowBmag WagedByBritisb Forces. v London, April 27.—On the narrow rocky Gallipoli peninsula, in Turkey, and on the restricted front Stretch­ ing northward from the Ypres to Belgium, two of the most vital struggles of the war are in progress*. Neitherhas rmmheda stage which will permit of a prediction concern­ ing die ultimate result. In Gallipoli the fighting is pictur­ esque, An assortment of allied troops, which landed Sunday, sup­ ported by the fire of the warships, are trying to batter their way throu thousands of Germon-offieered Turks in an effort to force the Dardanelles the main gateway of the Ottoman empire, and reach Constantinople. The British claim the attacks are progressing, but the Turkish com­ munication tonight declares that al­ though the Allies landed forces at four points, these forces are being beaten back to the coast, while the Moslems in the French ranks are de­ serting and casting their lot with their co-religionists. Equally contradictory are the of­ ficial statements concerning the fighting in the vicinity of Ypres. Tomorrow it would appear that the German offensive which brought them a gain of nearly three miles, will have reached its limit. The question now is whether the Ger­ mans can hold tbe ground gained. Some sectiohs of the British press profess to believe that crisis of the new battle for the French coast has ■ •, iiwiwwt Dfldor Tyre York. 'The North Wilkesboro Hustler brings tidingB of an old friend long absent from sight, but not from memory. Ic tells us that Dr. Tyre Tdrk of Trap Hill has been attend ing court there, and that, barring an attack of pneumonia a year ago, bdjhas been in robust condition, Ddetor York is one of the pictnre- sfioe statesmen of North Carolina. To uae his own language, he is one of “ the old blue hen’s chickens.” that was the gaffs he always tried to pop into Vance during the not­ able campaign when York was running fo r Governor. Doctor York has represented the Sflte in Cdngress and m tbe Legislature, and was among tbe first of tbe public men of North Carolina to line np against prohibition, and he was a pizen anti. It was in 1884 that Doctor York made his famous campaign of the State as Bepubli- man candidate forGovernor against Alfred M. Scales. Doctor York rode over tbe State on a mule and tbjs;mule gained as mnch fame as its rider, Vance stumped the State as elector and the meetings between him and York were worth going miles to see and bear. When 'Suit to Test Ae Qnatt Law. The News and Observer says suit has been begun iir Baleigh to test the “quart law” passed by the recent Legislature. . Geo. M. Glenn is the plaintiff and his attorney has instituted mandamus proceedings against tbe Southern Express Com­ pany, to Compel that company to receive, transport and deliver to the plaintiff a package containing one gallon of whiskey. Tbe .pro­ ceedings were made returnable be fore Judge Daniels iD chambers in Wake county. The facts upon which the case i9 based, says the News and Observer, are that on or about the 8th day of April, 1915, the plaintiff ordered by mail from H. Clarke & Sons, of Richmond, one gallon of spirituous liquors.and accompanied thegallon order with 82 85, the purchase price. This was received by the whiskey dealers and, in pursuance of the acceptance of tbe order, they tendered'to the Southern Express Co., for shipment to Glenn, a pack­ age coataiuing one gallon of whis­ key, with a statement showing the nature and the contents of the package, with tbe declaration that the same was intended, according [ Priaoaer Has Benefit of Doubt.

Shrinkage ia Property Values. There will be a mighty shrinkage in property values today. Property worth many thousands today will be worth but a few hundreds tomor­ row; or that’s the way ic wi.-l appear when it reaches the tax-books. The Chatham Records finds the facts as follows: Thevalueofall property in this State will Bhrink wonderfully next Saturday and remain so during the month of May. and why? Because the tax assessor will then be abroad in Uie land and all property must be assessed according to its value on the first day of May. A horse, for instance, that the owner usually values at $200 will then be worth only; about $100 and so with all other kinds of property. It i3 a stange and surprising fact thatgood citizens, even church mem­ bers., will do their best (or rather worst) to evade their just part of thelwrden. :of taxation. They do dot sieem to think it any barm to un­ dervalue their property when listing it for taxatjbiftV aihd even so far as eoncMl or list some oftheir pr& potty.

The Wachovia Historical Society of Winston, held its annual meeting a few nights ago.; Hon. J. G. BuX' ton called the attention of the so* ciety to the fact that the tombstones that have remained over the graves of the father and mother of Daniel Boone in Davie in Davie county have been removed to the vaults of the bank at Mocksville, to protect them from the ravages of curio seekers. The people of Davie county recently awoke to the fact that the stones were being chipped away by visitors who desire to have in their possess­ ion “a piece of the marker on the grave of the mother of the pioneer, and to protect them the stones were taken to Mocksville. Mr. Buxton stated that the society could get the stones to be placed in the Salem Histarical Building, and suggested that the society could well afford to the museum. The society will take this up with the citizens of Davie al once. [The Record begs to inform Hon, Buxton thatwebelieve he is mis­ taken whemhe says he can get the gravestones to carry to Winston.

C., April 2G.-A1I trains from this city 10 lay curried otowdH Olf delegates home from tbe B a rSCia -',Philathea Convention, which closed here Iitst night. The delegates covered practically every section of tbe State, from Header sonville and. Asheville in the west to Manteo in .the east.; The dele gates expressed the opinion ,that this convention will be remembered as perhaps tbe greatest in tbe bis- ' tory of the nioveniont. The dosing session was held in Tabernacle Baptjlst church, which was packed to overflowing. A deep spiritual atmosphere prrvad ed the occasion. The address of the evening was delivered by Rev. J. L Jenkins, of Lumber Bridge, bis subject being “Oar Piiilatheas and Batacas for Christ.” This talented young minister was at bis best on this occasion. Hisaddress was beantiful and powerful in con ception and delivery. Tbe hun­ dreds of yonng Christian workers present will bold him in grateful remembrance. Miss Flossie A. Byrd, tbe relir- iug general secretary, read greet­ ings from Miss Henretfa Heron, and presented to tbe c 'IiveDiionj for her a Iiouquet ol wh te roses. Tbeaudience was moved by tuis tender expression from the dis­ tinguished vice president5 of the World-Wide Paraca Pbilat hea ITn ion, who is greatly love I by the North Carolina workers. T h e Becret Service reports were led by Miss Byrd. Nuver before in the history of the movement have the Baracas and Philatheas given such splendid exprieoces iu persoiall work and soul winning. ! During this session Miss By rd I spoke words <<f sppieeiaiiou for the loyalty and co operation of tbe workers during her adiuinistration. She was presented wiih an immense bonqnet of Eaeter lilies and earuc­ tions, iu behalf of the state organ izationr. From the time it been un­ known that Miss Byrd would mu serve another year theie was great regret and disappointment on the yart of the delegates. They felt conld not give up their beloved leader, whose devotion and fidelity to the cause could hardly lie dup­ licated. Resolutions paying high tribute to Miss Byrd as a leader were adopted. It is acknowledged th rough on t North Carolina, and was a subject- bf special comment on this occasion that Miss Byrd has done more than any other worker to. make North Carolina the Banner Baraca-Phil athea statb, One item alone proves the'superiority of her aggressiv e and consecrated leadership; name­ ly,; the organization of 12S0 ' new, classes in the state during the four years in which she has served as general secretary. It is estimated that at least one S tnl in each of these classes has been bronght Io Christ who would not have hesn reached through any other agency . In addition to performing a heavy xonnd of office duties. Miss Byrd has travelled in practic.ilIy every section of the State, and the rank aiid file of sixty thousand members have given her a devotion and lojralty that is unsurpassed. She has done a pioneer work that - WilI stand out in Sunday school history as-magnificent aud beautiful. Mar shall A. Hudson, Miss Henrietta Huron, Rev. Cbaa.

This is in the bands of the State executive committee,' who will meet at au early date The desire was expressed bj a few that the new general secretary be a Baraca, and it was voted - by the executive committee that this be granted, which will perhaps be fair, in view of the fact that the Philatheas have furnished the first most successful and consecrated leader for the state organizations. Miss Byrd will continue the work till June 15th, at which time the new officer is to assume charge. W lute "Man W itb B lade liv e r. The Liver is a blood purtfier.

New York, April 26.—Men of ffaire are carefully comparing ■tea and trying to get a line on He, forthcoming battle for the 'residency. They are taking the nlse of the country by means of inpartial inquiries in all sections, crying to ascertain just what the people are thinking. As nearly as the situation can be sized np and Rated in the condensed form, it Looks this way. WoodrowWilson is strong in the rural districts of the east, mid­ dle West and South. He will be i hard man to beat. No one has yet been picked npon as the Bepublican choice. The Bepnblicans are determined to win this election at all hazards, ind are willing to go any length to patch np their internal differences. The tariff will be forced to the ront in the East as one of the main issues. People who are not attached to Hther party are anxious for a ■hange, and are expecting it. Let ns consider the Democratic situation first. Men who hare been traveling hrongbont the middle West agree bat Wilson is very strong with the rnn.of the people. - Helookaabove everybody else in the Democratic party. There is hardly any dis­ cussion of any other candidate on bat side. The names of other •oseible Democraticcandidatesare juickly dismissed. For all practi­ cal purposes Woodrow Wilson is ne Democratic party. Ifheshonid iot ran an entirely new and radical •.hange woold have to be made in •til estimates as to the outcome.. -> The chief element of Wilson’s -itreDgtjh seems to be in the satis­ faction felt by the people regard­ ing his conduct of American rela cions with Europe. The people do out go into details. They merely express their gratification that the United States is kept out of war. This same feeling tends to soften public resentment against the ad* ministration’s Mexican p o lic y . Everybody agrees that something should be done in Mexico, but no one seems to be in favor of aendiog Americans in to be killed. Except in the Southwest, where sentiment for intervention is very strong, the feeling seems to be that Wilsou nas. at least kept out of war with Mexico, and the people let it go at that. They do not pretend . to keep up with the rapid changes in Mexico, and do not care what hap­ pens there so long as the XJmted States is not involved. In the Southwest the feeling against-the Wilson administration is very bitter. M exicoisan inti­ mate theme. The people know what is going on, and they are al­ most unanimous in the opinion that Washington either does not, know or is willfully ignoring the vital facts. . In Louisiana this feeling is in­ tensified by thehard times caused by the Democratic tariff. The country is in bad shape, the peo­ ple feel the pinch, and cansequeht- Iy they are to show their resent ment by their votes. Judging by general expressions of planters, merchants, bankers railroad men, the voters of Louis­ iana will not stick to the Demo­ cratic. They are up against hard times and this outweighe party loyalty. Louisiana and T e x a s Democrats are outspoken opponents of the Wilson administration. Manufacturers throughout the industrial regions are firmly set against th e Democratic parly. They feel the relief of European war orders, but they also fepl that such prosperity is uncertain. They want a return to a protective tariff. Democrats who voted for Wilson have publicly announced their business losses in some cases, and declare that they will favor any change that will bring back good times. This feeling is shared by work­ ingmen in many places. Concerns which have not profited by war orders are still having hard sled­ ding. There is a thin distribution of business indirectly resulting from the war, but it- cannot com­ pare with the business that is done ordinarily by Americans for Ameri can customars. Men out of work are talking of the big change that will come when the BepublicanB return to power. They take it for granted that a Bepublican presi­ dent will be elected and that a new tariff law will be enacted. When inquiries are made as to Bepublican candidates, no one man looms up so strong as to give him the lead in a national sense. New Yorks talks Elibu Boot. Penn sylvania talks Philander Knox. Massachusetts pins its faith to Senator Weeks. Ohio Utlks of Buton, but really seems to think the right man has not yet been named. Illinois thinks Senator Sherman is a*likely candidate, and and James B. M lanc has his friends, too. Everywhere the name of Theo­ dore Boosevelt is discussed and immediately dismissed. Some wise­ acre? Sfiaketbeir heads and suggest that “Teddy is a good fighter, after all, when he is fighting on our side.” But in New York State the talk is strongly against him. Bepublicans do! not accept him as their leader. The opinion prevails that this task will be sidestepped iu some way, either by setting op- on a candidate who. wonld be ac ceptable to both Boosevelt and anti Boosevelt Republicans, or by openly flouting Boosevelt right from the start, and fighting him to. a finish if he should try to work up an organization io this state. A Survivor of The Merrimac. Monroe Enquirer. Mr. Jacob Brown, a harness maker iu Warlick’s shop here, was on th e Confederate battleship, Merrimac, in the engagement be­ tween that vessel and the Federal battleship, Monitor, in Hampton Boads March S and 9, 11862. Mr. Brown says that he was at a gun throughout tbe^ engagement be­ tween the ironclads, the first of their kind in the world’s history, and that he sponged out the can­ non after every fire and took part in blowing up the Merrimac when she stuck fast in the Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy. Mr. Brown says that rather than let the enemy capiuie their Vessel they put a fuse to the magazine, touched it off, let down the -small boats, put off and from a good sale distance saw the fira> ironcltd vessel blown np. Mr. Brown is .a native of Salisbury. K E EP T H E KIDNEYS W ELL Injustice to Railroads. Hnfair! The glaring injustice of the government’s treatment of the railroads in the matter of carry­ ing the mails is brought out in a comparison of what TJncIe Sam pays his own road and what be pays others T he government- owned Panama Bailroad received received last year, according to a statement by the committee on railway mail pay, $2.00 for each ton of mkil carried a maile, while the private roads io the TJnited States, according to estimates of the Post Office Department, re­ ceived about 2.0c per ton for each mile. If this is the kind of ex­ travagance the government owner­ ship of railroads stands for, it will be a long long while belore the voters of thia country will give it seriour. consideration. Had the the privately owned railroads of the United States been paid on the same oasis as the Panama Rail­ road, instead of receiving $56,000, OOO or about one fifth of the Post Office Department’s revenues, they would have received $1,557,000,- 000. or more than five times the to’al revenues of the Department. The railroads have not asked Con­ gress to advance mail pay rates. All they have asked for is to be paid for all the mail they carry and for all the special facilities and services they furnish the Poet Office Department. W h y not, Uncle Saml—Leslie’s.

IN ADVANCE - «100 SLX MONTHS, IN ADVANCE - $ 5« THREE MONTHS. IN ADVANCE $ 25 WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1915. It will take a bigger fire than that of last week to wipe Mocksville off the map. Phoenix-like we will rise from the ashes and achieve bigger and better things. Since the planting season is over, the price of cotton has dropped a' gain. Wonder how many farmers increased their cotton acreage on ac ciunt of IOcent cotton? As tax listing time is about over that $25 mule and $500 farm are now worth $200 and $3,000 respec­ tively. Itmakesalot of difference —before listing and after. Watch Mocksville grow. Instead of growling and knocking all the time why not get busy and boost awhile. Tell your friends about what a good town wehaveand invite them to come and locate in our midst. Let's all work for a bigger and better Mocksville—a town where people will be glad to cast their lot and where we can all pull together for the growth and Upbuilding of the town. Di the citizens of Mocksville want a Fourth of July celebration here this year? If so. let us hear . from you. The Record would be glad to assist in getting up a program of amusements for the 4th. Our col­ umns are open to all who have any thing to say. TheGermans don’t spem to be licked after all. Every few clays we read of them destroy ins’ fr. m on<- to a dozen of Lhe enemies ships, and only last week, they swatted the Rus­ sians in a bad manner.- It seem* that the war is gninp to last fo> some time to come. i’Jie Rtrcord tries to give the news of the county p.tthe earliest moment. I/i't Tue^dav morning when the big lire visited our town all of the mail had been marked and was ready to put in the postoffice, but to give our readers the particulars of the fire, a special page was printed and all our papers unfolded and the extra sheet inserted and then refolded, which necessitated much extra work. By doing this we were able to tell the people' in various sections of the county about the fire the same morn­ ing it occurred. Our citizens who were so unfor­ tunate as to suffer loss by the fire last Tuesday- morning have the sym­ pathy of all our people. Among those who lost most, heavily was G. G. Walker, owner of Walker’s Bar­ gain House. Mr. Walker had in­ vested everything he was worth in his stock of goods, and his loss falls heayily upon him. His stock was worth about $8,000 with only $2,000 .-.-At ..nee, which we learn will not be sufficient to pay his outstanding debts* Mr. Walker has a wife and : -uji ijfTv.iH:children and is a clever young man just starting in life. We believe the citizens of the town and county should give him all the as­ sistance they can. as he is one of bur best citizens The Record is mak­ ing this appeal in Mr. Walker’s ’be­ half without his knowledge or con­ sent. We hope that he can resume business here in tho near future. He had a large trade and assisted in bringing many farmers from dis­ tant parts of this and other counties hete to trade, and the town can ill afford to lose him. Night Policeman Needed. If Mocksville'is able to emply but one policeman then that should be a man who would aerve at~ night and sleep in daytime. We do. need a sight watchman, and need him bad', but we can do without a day man. With no fire protection it is danger^ ous for the citizens of the town to ico to sleepjat night, especially tho^jp living in tn& ifiness section of thai town. Wrfnopethat the <hty fathers will take tliis matter up at their next meetiqiif,. The lives of our peo­ ple are.in danger so long as we have no protectibriifbm fires, thieves or wytbing elae.^;. LasiUaa Toipcdoed aff IriA Coast London, May 7.—The Canard liner Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk this afternoon ten iriles off Old Head, Kinsale, Ireland. Shecarried 1,253 passengers. The huge v< sel sank in thirty minutes. Relief was sent immediately from Queou town. The naval station sent three tugs, five trawlers, and a life boat. The Lusitania’s life boats were launched before she Was sunk. Old Head is less than twenty miles from Cork on the Irish south coast. The Lusitania’s first call for help by wireless reached Queenstown at 2:15 this afternoon. She said, “want as­ sistance, listing badly.” The Lusitania was launched at Glyde bank, June 7,1906. Her first trip was made ^September: 7, 1907. On trip she had 188 American pas­ sengers aboard. The rest were Brit­ ish and passengers of other nation­ alities. London, May 7.—TheCunard liner Lusitania, which sailed out of New YorkIastSaturdaywithmore than 2.000 persons aboard, .lies at the bot­ tom of the ocean off the Irish coast. She was sunk by a German subma­ rine, which sent two torpedoes crash­ ing into her side while the passeng­ ers were at luncheon. How many of the Lusitania’s pas­ sengers and crew were rescued can­ not be told, but the official state­ ments from the British Admiralty uptomidnight accounted for not more than five hundred or six hun­ dred. The latest estimate of lives lost as a result of the torpedoing' of the Cunard IincrXusitania by a German submarine off the Irish coast yester­ day is 1,198. It is believed that al­ most all, if not all, the .survivors, have been brought ashore and there is little hope of recovering any other passengers alive. Mr. James HcGnire Dead. James McGuire, J r, one of the town’s most prominent and best business men died Tuesday night at the sanitorium in Statesville, where he was carried that afternoon to un­ dergo an operation. Mr. McGuire had been ill for two weeks, and bis death was not unexpected.

Our class work is progressing: nice­ ly, we are not as large in number as we once was but we are working for the upbuilding of Gods Kingdom, there is much work to be done, we have some in our class that is un­ saved but we are looking forward to the time when we will all be on the Lords side. ✓ We elected new officers for this year as followers: President. Mrs. Mannie Garwood; Vice-Presi­ dent, Miss Blanch Sain; Treacher, Mrs, Mattie Willson; Secretary, Miss Lula Gratis; Treasure Miss Clara Carter. We felt it a great loss to give up our teacher. Mr. J. R Fos­ ter, but was glad our class was able to secure Mrs. Mattie Willson, which has made us a fine teacher. On the account of bad weather our' average attendance have been cut down this winter, we have 45 on roll. 27 pres ent May 2nd. On February 13th, we had a Valentine and measuring party each one paying 3 cents a foot for three fourths of their height, the collection went towards the expen­ ses of the class which amounted to $4.48. - In November quite a num­ ber of us set a part one days work and gave it to the Baptist Orphange at Thomasville which was$5,50. We sent as our delegate to the State Baraca Fhilathea Convention at Ral­ eigh our teacher Miss Mattie Will­ son. 'We were all anxious on Sun­ day morning of her return to gather in our class room to hear of the great work which .is going on all over the State. It brings many things to us which is helpful to our class work and .makes us stronger Baraeas- and ^hilatheas. Asking your prayers for the success of our class. - A Member . As our editor asked rne to write a piece to our. Baraca Pnilathea col­ umn about my trip to the conven tion. I.will try to tell a few things, for to tell of all the good things I heard and saw would take to much space. I arrived at Raleigh Thurs­ day about 7 p. m.. we registered at the station and went to our homes, had supper then we assembled in a body at the Baptist Tabernacle where we received a most - harty welcome and heard some grand muj.ic. For the day service the Baracas and Philatjheas had seperate meetings. The Philatheas meeting in the Eden- tonSt..-M. E. church.- On Friday morning we met in session, had re­ ports from the classes and very in­ teresting talks dh raising class mon­ ey, witn some other things the classes are doing and the Philatheas how they can help us, from Baraca view points which was iust grand, then had Phi’athea platform and benedic­ tion. Friday afternoon we had for sight seeing taking in the interest­ ing things of the city. AU the first sessions were held at the Tabernacle, so we assembled Friday night and had good talks from several but the one that appealed to me most .was fropi Hon R. M. Simms of Raleigh, on why Baraca and Pbilathea. I wish every Baraca and Philathea could have heard what he raid. Saturday morning we had discussion on class problem by delegates. "The model class” demonstrated by t^e Wesley M. E , class of Henderson. Saturday afternoon met in joint ses­ sion and had talks on why I believe in County Unions. At 6:30 the class organizers had supper in Edenton M E church. Ladies Parlor, which I ehjoyed very much, then from there to joint meeting where we had -,more good talks Sundav morning the delegates had privilege to visit any Sunday school "tfeey wished. I went to tKe.Bap.tist Tablernacle and after tbd PJiilatheas had this open­ ing exercise. we were invited to . join, the Simms. Baraca class I en- joyed this very much. Sunday after­ noon there were two meetings one .. at the First Baptist and the other at the Edentibn St. M E church after which we had the Baraca-PhiIathea parade led by the Third Reg band to tHe Auditorium where we had mara meefag.. Sunday night the elosjng sessiui at the Bam-Jst Taber- ade jed dv Rev. Chas. E. Maddrv which ^ras one of the best things I heard.'

Take a dose of the dangerouB j drug tonight and tomorrow you may lose • a day’s work. ! . . . .j Calomel is - mercury or quicksilver ; which causes Jiecrosis of the bones, i Calomel, when: ,it comes into contact j with sour bile, crashes into it, breaking I it up. This is; when you feel that awful ' nausea and cramping. If yon are slug­ gish and “all knocked out,” if. your liver is torpid' and bowels, constipated or you Jiare headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour, just try a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Liver Tone tonight on my guarantee. Here’s my guarantee—Go to any drug­ store and get a SO cent bottle of Dod­ son’s Liver Tone. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous I want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dodson's:Liver Tone is'destroying the sale of calomel because it is: real liver medicine; riitirely- vege­ table; therefore - it can hot salivate or make you side. I guarantee that one spoonful of Dod­ son's Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and clean your bowels of that sour bile and constipated waste which is clogging your system .and mak­ ing you feel miserable. I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson’s Liver. Tone will keep your entire family feeling fine for months. Give it to your children. It.is harmless; doesn’t gripe and they like its pleasant taste.

States which had always gone Republican went Re­ publican that year by unprecedented majorities, while several states which had never voted for a Republican presidential candidate improved that opportunity. It was a victory achieved under a shibboleth which appealed di­ rectly to business interests, big and little. The silver issue as presented by Mr. Bryan sent, a chill up and down the spine of the business man wher­ ever he resided. And the greater his own interests and the Interests of others in his vicinity, the greater his quake. The threat.of a fifty-cent dol­ lar first upset him, and then nerved him to resistance. He came into ac­ tion without much urging, and once in action worked with all Iiis might Next year, however, the issue will not be so clear cut. Business is dis­ gruntled, but on several accounts. Manufacturing has bfien hit by the new tariff. Corporations have been disgusted, both by the new trust reg­ ulations, and by the organization of the federal trade commission. Bann­ ing circles are not altogether assured of the efficacy in its present form of the new financial measure. While business unrest is general, it is not referable to any one thing. So that to write a platform, make a nomina­ tion and conduct a. campaign bring­ ing all business interests .into line will be no easy ma.tter. Mr. Wilson won his nomination at Daltimore through, the influence part­ ly of Iiis environment. Although he had made his pcvnce with Mr. Bryan, lie was accepted by many Democrats who three times had rejected Mr. Jlr.van .because of his, Wilson’s, resi­ dence and assoctations. It was felt th.it a man who Jived in New Jersey, a manufacturing stronghold, and next door to New' York, the great finan­ cial stronghold, would be safer In the White House than Mr. Bryan, who; had come Io Cis.tinction and Influence in an agricultural belt educated on distrust o[ and opposition to nearly everything east of tha Mississippi river.

And where is Tipperaryt ‘‘It’s along way to go,” nays tbe music hall ballad that half world is singing, which is tbe utmost cbat the majority of the BiDgers know about the real Tipperary. It is related that Cromwell once stood on a hill top in Erin sur­ veyed tbe smiling expanse of fetile plain that-unfolded before his eyes. “That is a land worth fighting for!”he exclaimed. He was gazing at the golden vale—the heart of Tipperary. Tipperary today is a region as beantifnlas its people are hos pitable and kindly; a peaceful re­ gion quietly prosperous, a people prond of tbeir history and their relics oi the golden age of Cashel of tbe Kings. It is a region whose story is interwoven with tbe most glorious and most distressing event of Irish history. It is a region bright with color and vivid wiih romance. A word abont the Tipperary of today. There is Tipperary tbe county and Tipperary the garrison town. Ifom atterwbichofthetwo the rimester bad In mind when be made his song.Tipperary town is described as a “slow” sort of a place which never recovered from the “kick up” In tbe Irish party after Parnell’s death—but more of this later. Tipperary county is in the Irish province of Monster, and is the sixth largeit county in Ire* land, having 1,092,962 acres of peat bog, meadow, field and moan- taiD. It is a varied and picturesque lacd. Most of it is a great plain. On ita soatbiBrn border are tbe KnockmealdowD mountains, and north of them tbe wild GaItrees— Gaitymore, tbe highest of them, lifts its ancient bead over 3,000 feet in the air. On tbe east are the Blieve-Ardagh bills, and near the town of Templemore tbe storied Devil’s Bit mountains. The Snir is Tipperary’s biggest river. It takes its rise in the Devil’s Bit, and flows’ southward and eastward by the historic towns of Temple more, Thurles Cashel and Clonmel. The river Shannon, the poets’ own river, washes the border of the country. Tipperary of this modern day is one of the best agricultural dis­ tricts in Ireland. From Cashel to Limerick, right in the midst of Tipperary, stretches tbe Oolden Vale, tbe most fertile -valley in all Erin. Tipperary is given mostly to agriculture and dairying. Ibere are some ancient lead mines, whose ores hold a trace of silver, bnt they engage ouly a small portion of tbe populace. Large meal and flour mills are scattered over the country, and tbe town of Tipper* ary comes second only to tbe city of Cork as a butter market. It Thif Proiperity.

W., Walker, State inspector of high schools, was participated in by 179 high schools and 6,513 boys and girls. O n e hundred and fifty schools rendered reports of the re suits of the test in which fifty words in common use were sub* mitted as the efficiency basis. The number of trials in the test was 325,650, and of that number there were 98,102 failures. The average grade attained by the State was 69.87 per cent. , The honor roll consisted of twenty pupils who made perfect grades. Of the individual schools, Kittrell headed tbe honor roll with a per­ centage grade ol 89.88 Cooleemee high school was a close second. Tbe list of words submitted were: Wednesday, preparation, Connecti cut, religious, laboratory, neuter, twelfth, cylinder, yield, separate, lose, relieve, whicb, foreign, con­ ceivable, achievement, benefited, changeable, plenteous, grieved, pitiable, breadth, recommend, de­ scendant, accommodate, occur* rence, referred, government, busi­ ness, precede, embarrass, until, receive, absence, appreciate, re ceipt, February, prejudice, license, ridiculous, privi le g e , parallel, whether, pursue, meant, courage­ ous, necessary, convenient, preci­ ous, consensus. The word “consensus” was mis­ spelled a greater number oi times tban any other submitted. “ Wfed nesday ” and “ which” were spelled correctly a greater number of times tban any other in the test list, the latter, being spelled correctly 6,174 times odt of 6,513 cbanceg. The results proved in a substan­ tial way that girls are ' better spellers than boys. The number of cases in which girls made the highest grades was 93, while only 39 times did tbe boys score in this particular. The number of cases in which boys made tbe lowest grade was 90; the girls made the lowest grade in 42 cases. S. B. WINTERS. S n o ltiaf on Farm s. Time was when smoking in tbe country was infrequet, but in these days of high prices and automo­ biles thousands ol farmers enjoy pipes and cigars and tbeir help use cigarette. In tbe olden days there was little danger from fires on this account, but there is danger today. Tbe owner of a Iarm would not think of lighting his pipe in tbe barn, but his hands will. Iarin- era should watch their help as to guard against carelessness with fire. Farmers should carry insur­ ance, but they should see to it that buildings are not burned. In uery cases does the policy really cover the actual loss to the insured. There is something in a name.

A splendid auditorium has been completed at the Baptist Orphan­ age at Thomasville as a result of means left the institution by ,the late Dr. S. W. Little, for a long time a resident of north Iredell, a resident of Davie county at the time of his death a few years ago. The building is said to be tbe handsomest on th e orphanage grounds and a wri ter in the Greens­ boro News says of tbe donor. “ Later a tablet will be erected in tbe building commemorating Dr. 8. W. Little, ol Davie county, to whose generosity the institution owes the building. Dr. Little, a life long bachelor, bad always been interested in the work of the or- phauage, but few people and none of tbe orphanage officials suspected the AagDiGcent gift he had in mind for it. It was only after his death that it was revealed that he had left practically his entire estate of some $25,000 or 930,000 to the orphaoage. The will mcde no con­ ditions, so tbe trustees decided to! expend the amount in various im -1 provements on the grounds, tbe most notable of them being the new ouditoriam.

Washington, May 12.—TheUnited States in a note to be sent to Ger­ many demands a guarantee that there will be no further submarine attacks on merchant ships carrying non-combatants. It serves notice, too that full reparation will be sought for the loss of more than 100 American Jives in the sinking of the Lusitania and for other violations of American rights in the sea war zones. , . The document was to have been cabled tonight but the President af­ ter conferences with Counselor Rob­ ert Lansing; of the State Depart­ ment. made several changes in legal detail and then revised it alone in Uis study. Tomorrow it will be despatched and, it is expected to be made public soon. While no indication is given of the steps to be taken by the United States in the event of an unfavorable reply, the note ,informs Germany that the American Government will leave nothing undone either in diplo- matierepresentations or other action to obtain a compliance with its re­ quests.

Some one recently asked, “ what has become of :the Woman’s Glub or Civie League and the funds raised bv the organizationt” It has passed into oblivion, though not. an nnforgetable one since its works continue to exist- after it. With the careful records kept by Miss Both Booe, the vice president and secretary I find that folly 98 per cent,, of the lands raised by by the Woman’s Olub are repre seated in actual expenditure for books for the Mooksville Public Library. Were the exact amount procured and invested for the three years, published, the public would be amazed to khow just what it cost in labor, iogeninty and cash to furnish ah appreciative people the best reading matter. Later I hope to furnish the record of num ber of books taken from our shelves during the years of our existence. However, there have been times when the reading public had de voured all we had to offer and we h a v e in desperation wondered where the money for the next order of books would come from. Added to this, there has constantly arisen the rumor that we were to be lit­ erally thrown out of doors. Many have said the old county conrt house which’ has served us in our need is an eye-sore and should be torn away and a public park con structed or laid out in its place. It may be a healthy, progressive, indication that, conservative and old fashioned Moeksville should be cultivating an eye for the beauti­ ful. ButMercyl Won’t she have to work devastation and spend dollars to remove other offending spots. Now the situation is jost this. The old couuty conrt house is more than a land mark to many of us. Several generations of our ancestors have been allied and associated with every legal undertaking that has bound it with oar county, town and state. There are records which it would be a saorileye, to keep else where than nnder its roof. There are historieal*accuma- Iations scattered which should be gathered and stored in one room fitted up exclusively Tor these re- coids, etc.. The gravestones of the father and mother of Daniel Boone which Winston eays she could have for the asking, would be safe in such a place. - The library which is now an ab­ solute necessity of the town . de­ serves a permanent home. There should be a-room fitted and Iurn ished as a rest room for the citizens and women of Davie county. These families come to Moeksville spend ing in entire day, shopping and looking after business matters. There is no place that they may go to eat their lunch; no place for small children to rest; no place for those coming In on early trains to wai’t until their relatives come for them. Another room would serve well as an exhibition place for - needle­ work, pickled and canned goods, or anything a woman of Davie county or Moeksville could pro­ duce and care to sell. We are now on a National Highway, and with the.tourists, who daily stop over, a market for things of this kind could be built np. The walls of the old county conrt house are iqtact; the style of archi­ tecture is good, but we admit it is badly in need of repairs. The same was said of Rowan county conrt house; and yet- the citizens of that county in their good judge­ ment and with a full realization of the present need, deeded the built- ing with ten thousand dollars for repair to oitizehs and women of Rowan county to be used for all thneasaOomaiunity Ssrvice Center. Not one dollar has' been asked of Davie county,- We have merely begged thattheexpense of tearing sway a building like this of our county seat be compared with the Ae to wbiok-iditoy be put - if al- after raising the several thousand dollars necessary for its repair that it may pot be taken frora us.

London Rioters Attack Germans. London, May 12.—The sinking of the steamer Lusitania has aroused ,to a violent climax the smouldering hatred and suspicion of Germans living in England. This animosity has found expression during the last 24 hours in attacks on Germans and tneir shops in London and Liverpool while there have been minor distur­ bances in Manchester, Birkenhead, Glasgow and a few other places. Windowsofmany German shoph were smashed and some shops were pillaged. The proprietors of the shops generally were driven away by angry crowds. None of the persons attacked are reported to have been seriously injured. One or two shops have been set on fire by the rioters. A spontaneous movement has de­ veloped in the London market to boycott subjects of enemy countries, and small dealers who appeared for supplies today were refused them and a number of them were driven away by crowds. Thepolice forces of both London and Liverpool have been depleted by enlistments in the Army and special constables have been called out to help the regulars. These constables, however, usually are without experience and the mobs often have got the better of them. Police have been injured during toe riotings. A Confederate SoIdHr.

The North Carolina Christian Advocate says that “No man is master of hiinself who goes about with a pipe, cigar, cigarette or wad of tobacco in his face.” That is a raok and ill advised statement. We admit that a mac is better off without th»8e habits, and we admit that if a man wants to quit one of them and cannot be is Dot master of himself. But where a man has never ‘ raised the question with' himself, never thought to, or had any occasion to think of it, it is rather absurd to say he is not his own master, simply because he is pursuing a habit which others have found distasteful. After making the above statement, the same pa per asks “ When is the war on this evil to begiu in earnest!” We fancy that it had better not begin at all if it is to he started in this spirit. In point of finance, says The Advocate, “The proportion is something like §80 for tobacco and 25 cents for home missions.” The Advocate also quotes Billy Sunday on the sahject, and Billy’s is better than the Advocate’s because it is at least argumentative, while the Advocate’s is proscriptive. Billy saidi “ Wbat .would yon say if I sputtered and mouthed over a cud of tobacco! You. would say, ‘If the Holy Spirit has : got to roost around that old buzzard tlien none of the Holy Spirit for me.’ ’’ >• Cyclone in the State.

Xumberless indications point to Re­ publican success in next year’s presi­ dential election. The country has not profited under Democratic govern­ ment Industry lias been checked Taxes have increased. Wages have declined. Despite abundant crops and a state of peace, unemployment and poverty fill the land. Nor has Demo­ cratic administration impressed itself upon the people as a moral benefit. Nobody discovers new or commend able influences of conscience in the life of the conn try. On the other hand, many conditions tend to offend tiie public judgment. Commonplace men fill large official posts. From whatever angle the Mexican policy may be regarded, the impression grows that our standing in the west­ ern hemisphere is not what it was— that the administration has to a de­ gree made sacrifice of the Monroe doc­ trine; that somehow we have met a. large situation and instead of augment- ing our own authority and dignity in connection with it, we have lost re­ spect and prestige. There is a general feeling, too, that we have not carried ourselves credit­ ably in relation to the warring Euro­ peans. No positive declaration of our rights has been made; no ringing as sertion of American spirit has gone forth to sustain our national self-re spect. AU these things together have made a situation highly favorable to the Republican party. In addition, and likewise tending to Republican advantage, we have wit­ nessed collapse of the movement in­ augurated at Chicago following the nomination of Mr. Taft in 1912. Bull Mooseism is dead. The multitudes who flocked to its banner have re­ turned to their old party affiliations. Everywhere, with the single .exception of California, where political chaos still reigns, the Republican party is a revived, an expanding, a hopeful quaatitv. The fact is admitted In the conduct of those who in terms deny it. Democracy, only a little while back aggressive, is on the defensive Arrogant presumption has given plact to explanation and apology. Plainly the Democratic party is on the run And its leaders, including President Wilson, are vainly attempting to rally its forces and revive its spirit. Minority Party Will Be Ousted. Business did not elect Mr. Wilson. It was not in favor of his election. But it was powerless in the face of the Republican division. As it could not heal that, it was obliged to ac­ cept the result at the polls, which brought in the minority party by a minority vote. The wrangling Re­ publican politicians, and not the busi­ ness men, were responsible for what took place in November, 1912. Since then business has had "a time of it.” Hence the assertion that at the polls next year business of all kinds and degrees will register ltsell in favor of a change. Tariff Has Aided England. If it were not for the American mar­ ket, the textile districts of England would be in a serious condition. There had been a severe depression in the districts, and it is doubtful if under any circumstances the year 1914 could have been a prosperous one, if peace had continued. It was the United States that saved that part of indus­ trial England. With the probability, therefore.' that the Republicans will make the tariff the issue in the coming national campaign, the Englishmen are not in any jovial frame of mind when contemplating what may happen. The Colonel's Attitude. A New Hampshire Progressive de­ scribed as a friend of the former pres­ ident declares that “no man has the oliglitest authority to say that Colo­ nel Roosevelt is for this particular ''aCtIidale or that, that he will support “cue but this one or support any can- didate the Republicans name but onC.'' The colonel's policy seems to llC "watchful waiting,” with a yearn-. Mg to be regular and support the candidate of the Republican party hext year as the most practical thing to do.—New- York Sun. )IR, N. C. Not Twenty, but Two.

Afony •f them do not feel the improve­ ment in trade indicated by the re- orts received by the Deparment t Commerce. “There is considerable nnrest among cotton manufacturers,” says a young Hforth Carolina mill man who has made considerable money lnriog the last two decades manu­ facturing cotton goods. “ Mill men are saying very little bnt they fear > oe Democratic Administration ie •artially responsible lor the con- ditious existing in cotton, milling centers. Many of us have weath­ ered the worst of the storm, and- will be able to keep on. Personal­ ly I have lost nearly $100,000. That was a hard blow to me.

It is stated that Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, a member of the noted millionaire Vanderbilt family of New York, who perished in the Lusitania disaster, took off a life­ belt which he bad secured and gave it to a young woman who bad none. It is further said that Mr. Vanderbilt couldn’t- swim and bis surrender of the lifebelt meant practically the surrender of his chance to live If the facts are correctly reported, all honor to Mr. Vanderbilt. If he voluntarily gave up his chance of life to save a wo­ man, a knightly soul went to his death when he perished. That is what the papers are say­ ing about Mr. Vanderbilt, and he deserved it. But why land him— slop over—as some of the papers are doing, and ignore humbler men who did the same thing! The very same record that tells of Mr. Van* derbilr. feiviog up his lifebelt to a woman tell6 of two men from Texas —B. J. Timmis and B. T. Moodie of Gainesville, Texas—who gave up their lifebelts to steeroge wo men. Timmis was afterward pick- ed up, but Moodie was not seen again. He went to bis death to save a woman and child, for the record says when his attention was called to a steerage woman with a 6 months old baby he promptly Btripped off his lifebelt and gave it to her. AU honor to the men from Texas. They were as brave and as noble as Vanderbilt. They pro babiy never had his opportunities and his training, but the true no­ bility and courage was as strong in the men from Texas as it was in the New York millionaire. But the names of the TexanB not figure in the editorial columns of the newspapers. Tbeyweie not mil­ lionaires and they were not pro­ minent. When the Titanic went down, John Jacob Astor, a New York millionaire, went to his death. Mostof the newspapers slopped over in commenting on his “heroic’ death, just as they are doing inihe case of Vanderbilt. Some of them even magnify bis copduct by say­ ing he gave up his seat in a life boat to a woman. That would have been a man’s part had be dons so, but the report of the Titanic disaster stated that when Mrs. Astor was placed in a boat her husband asked to go with her, saying his wife was in delicate health. Thiswas true and the husband’s request was, one. An officer of the Titanic refused him permission to go in the boat and Mr Astor - did not. He qoietly stepped aside and met death. This wasquite different from voluntarily giving up a seat in -the boat, al though there was nothing in the incident to Mr Astor’s discredit.

If the County Commis­ sioners will give the building to the ladies of the town for a “Community Building,” then we believe it would be a good investment for the citizens of the entire county if the ladies would follow the suggestions of Miss Linda Clement, as set forth in an article in The Record last week.

EYom the information that could be gathered concerning the matter, it seems that, all four of the boyBbad been after a supply whiskey, and on their return trip, all of them being pretty well tanked up. Moore drew a gun and began shooting into the air. Harbin, whom the team belonged,' remon­ strated with Moore and threatened to put him out of the buggy if did not give up the gun. This refused to do, and in a scuffle, Har­ bin was shot, the ball entering his right shoulder and ranging down, lodged in his spine, causing paralysis, from his waist down. He is a pre­ carious condition, and Doctor Jumey. who Is attending him, says recovery is impossible. . Italy Dedans War. Rome, May 23.—via Paris—Italyis at war with Austria-Hungary.

Wednesday night or early Thursday morning the South­ ern Lunch Room near the depot was entered and a supply of cigars, tobaccos, etc., were taken. A mes­ sage from Clemmons Thursday morn ing says that the postoffice and store of F. A. Jones, at that place was robbed Wednesday night. There seems to be no clue as to who the thieves are, as they make their get­ away and leave no trace behind them. Tae citizens of the town are,rubbing up their guns and getting ready for business. It is thought by some that tie thieves are using automobiles and come into town from adjoining counties over tho government post road. ~ ________ How About Water Works. It is said that the city fathers will consider putting in a system of water works for Mocksville at their next meeting Tuesday night, June 1st Anengineer has looked over the ground and says that a good system of water works can be installed for about $40,000. This is something that our town has long needed, and we believe every citizen of the towrT who has any love for his town and its growth, will be heartily in favor of this forward step. The water would be brought from Bear creek to town. With a good water system ’the insurance rate, which is now al­ most prohibitive, would be cut more than half, and our town would be protected from fire and our streets could be sprinkled and hundreds of dollars saved to the merchants goods. Another fire like the one on May 4th, would pay for the water works. If you are interested in this question attend the meeting next Tuesday night. * Pino News.

No man can aspire to a higher honor than to become a capable citi­ zen, and no one can merit so dis­ tinguished a title until he is well In­ formed of the resources; possibilities and achievements of our country. This is a commercial age and civ­ ilization is bearing its most golden fruit In America. We are noted for our industrial achievements as Egypt was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa­ lem for her religion; Greece tor her art; Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea for her astronomy and Rome for her laws. Likewise we have men who will go down In the world’s history as pow­ erful products of their! age. For, stand- •ing at .the- source of every" gigantic movement that sways clvtilxaUon Is a great man.

As Guttenherg took Nodke of wood and whittled them into an alphabet and .made a printing press that flashed education across the con­ tinent like a ray of- light upon a nqw boni world, McCormick 'took a bar of iron and bent It into a reaper and with one sweep of his magic mind broke the shackles that enslaved labor of generations yet unborn, and gave mankind freedom from drudgery, and lifted the human race into a higher zone of life. As Nelson organized the English navy and made England mistress of the sea, enabling the British Isles to plant her flag upon every continent washed by the ocean’s waves, and to'make foot­ stools of the Islands of every water, Morgan organized a banking system that has made America master of the world’s finances, brought Kings to our cashier’s windows, the nations of the earth to our discount desks and placed under the industries ot this nation a financial system as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar.

Every year aees the iotrodoction of freak bills into the legislatures of one or more states, but ' the spring of 1915 seems to have cap ped the climax. The freak legis­ lators have run mad. Hardly a state has escaped. It is the fashion of the press to poke fuo at Kansas, which may be depended upon to come to the fruut with souutiiiag foolish in the way of legislation. And although the Suiillower slate has lived up to her glowing repu tatiou iu the present session, her companions in the sorority of states have not ialieu far behind. Host of the new laws have been intro duced for the purpose ot prohibit ing something or other. Here are a few: To prohibit catching of frogs.— Minnesota. To probibit the use of face pow der, rouge, bair dye or bleach, the piercing of ears and the wearing ol earrings.—Kansas To compel chickens to go to roost before 7 p iu. To provide thai bulls driven along the road at night shall wear lights.— Colorado. PixiviUing that all weeds and plants which cause hay fever shall Lie rcHioved Iroui the roadsides, ibo-iii-ioir io pay au annual tax ot $5 per head.

Comyeiling the Katiouul Guard to do ninety days work each j ear ou the IoU is and bridges of the state Aequitiug dealers in stock foods to pay ah annual license of 923 a year. Prohibiting free Inu ches.—Nebraska. Compelling church-goers to leave their firearms outside,—Texas. Prohibiting treating. Prohibit­ ing the giving of tips to borbers, waiters, porters, bat snatchers, etc. Taxing bachelors of 30 years of age 950 per annum. Licensing cats at 91 per head per annum.—Illinois. ' To furnish lumber jacks with in­ dividual bathtubs.—Minnesota. Establishing a uniform thickness of sleigh runners.—North Dakota. Prohibiting a man from becotu ing a “ ball-doget ” i. e., allowing persons to throw baseballs at one s head for hire.— New York. Prohibiting the smoking of ciga­ rettes by school, normal and uni versity instructors.—Wisconsion Whooping Cough. “When my daughter had whooping cough aba coughed so bard at one tiinr that she had hemorrhage of the lungs. . I was terribly alarmed about her condition. Seeing Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy so highly recommended, I got her a bottle and it relieved the cough at once. Before she had finished two bottles of this remedy she was entirely well,” writes Mrs. S. F. Grimes. Crooksville. Ohio. Obtainable everywhere.’ Joitructed Not to Harm Neutral Vessels.

Feel fine and cheerful; make your work a pleasure; be vigorous and full of ambi­ tion. But take no nasty, dangerous calomel because' it makes I you sick and you may lose a day's work. Cohunel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the .bones. Calomel crashes into sour bile like dynamite, breaking it up. That's when you fed that awful nausea and cramping. Listen to me! If you want to enjoy the nicest, gentlest liver and bowel cleansing you ever experienced just take a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Liver Tone tonight. Tour druggist or dealer sells you a 50 cent bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone under my personal money- back guarantee that each spoonful will dean your sluggish liver better than a dose of nasty calomel and. that it won’t make you sick. Dodson’s Liver Tone is Teal Uyer medicine. You’ll know it next morning because you will wake up feeling fine, your liver will be working; headache and dizziness gone; stomach will be sweet and bowels regular. Dodson’s Liver Tone is entirely vege­ table, therefore harmless and can not salivate. Give it to your children. Millions of people are using Dodson’s Liver Tone instead of dangerous calomel now. Yonr druggist will tell you that the sale of Calmnel is almost stopped entirely here. \Spray With Red Deoil LyeC l . .I Mairtfg old orchards produce; doubles the yield I of garden and truck.

I am more amazed every day at the indifference of parents to the future of their children, especially tbeyouog girls. They seem to take no pains to look after them, or know where they are. No daughter, until she is old enough to absolutely know right from wrong, shoqld be allowed by her parents to go anywhere away from home unless accompanied by a member of Ibe family. I have known instances where young girls have absented themselves from school to spend the time with yoang men, and their parents and teachers are either indifferent or the system is lax that permits of such a thing.

Wilms, who with Dr. Merrill .Ricketts of Cincinnati, Ohio, have been experimenting with vivisection operations o n dogs, brought back to life an in­ fant which had been dead for eleven mintues. Dr. Wilms had been attending the infant at a Ioca foundling asylum. W h en Dr. Wilms called the baby was dead. He held a post-mertem examination and decided to use the discoveries be and Dr. Ricketts bad made in artificial respiration as used in the operation ou dogs. He opened the child’s abdomen, and after working over the child for forty five minutes, restored re spiration. He then fouad an obstruction which .had created a deadly gas, causing the child’s death. He removod the cause. The baby’s recovery, is probable unless some other illness develops later.

The last legislature of North Carolina passed a law to the effect that no person may order more than one quart of red-eye every two weeks. Now about the next time the legislature meets some thirsty member will introduce a bill to change the calander and speed up the solar system so 1 that two weeks will rattle off in about fifteen minutes. Now if getting drunk is wrong, why should the State legalize it once every two weeks? Aud if it isn’t wrong, why try to check it at all? Why not have a law declaring that no mian shall commit murder oftener than once every two weeks? Or that horse stealing would be considered a crime if indulged in more than once every two weeks? Or that a man’s reputation for truth would be in danger if he told more than one lie every two weeks? Wby not give a preacher permis sion to hang his coat and his D. D. on the hat rack and enjoy one good spell of fightiDg and cussing every two week6? Two weeks must have some pe cnliar charm about it—sorter like a rabbit’s foot—else why didn’t they put it one quart every 27, 000.000,000 weeks?—Fool Killer.
