08-August-HERE SHALL THE PRESS. THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN^ UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XVII.MOCKSVHLE, NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4. 1915.NUMBER 3 I E Revenue From Income Assess* ment a Disappointment. Condition of the National Treasury Shows That Grave Mlsczlculations .Were Made by the Democrats In Shaping Financial Legislation. The income tax has proved a sore disappointment to Its framers and to those wbo ardently championed it as a large revenue producer. Tbis much js admitted. It is not admitted, however, that it has proved a failure. The excuse is still given tbat the government has not been able to get it properly enforced and that many incomes in excess of $3,000 a year continue to go untaxed. But the failure to get great results from the income tax brings the admin istration leaders face to face with the problem of raising funds for the maintenance of the government and the unwelcome necessity of new and Additional tax legislation at the com ing session of congress. Viewed by experts, such, legislation will have to take the form of remodel ing of the tariff, new special emer gency revenue taxes or an Increase In Ihe income tax either by raising the rate or by reduction of the exemp tion minimum. Either of these plans will provoke a storm of criticism, and it will be se vere, especially should the change be made in the income tax. The bill was drawn by Representa tive Cordell Hull, Tennessee. He and others associated with him predicted that the individual tax alone would yield the government fully $70,000,000 a year, and he defended it from the assaults of sectionalism in the argu ment that men should pay taxes ac cording to their actual wealth. It was then estimated, also, that the corporation tax yield would be about $36,000,000, these two special taxes bringing into the government more than $100,000,000. The revenue was de signed to make up an- estimated loss customs duties of a similar amount ihie to a reduction of many duties vhich the Democrats held were in ex cess of what they should be and formed a protection of a few special interests hllHinef,_ Tirpsenf ;s warslid industries. Treasury statistics present. 18 war show that the customs collections for last year were over $80,000,000 lees than for the preceding year.

That the oace solid South is recognizing tbe soundness of the Bepnblican policy of protection i9 asserted by Hon. Alvan H. Martin, a prominent business mao of Nor folk, Va., and a life long resident of the Southern states. When in Washington, recently, Mr. Martin said: “ I make the remark when Presi dent Wilson was elected tbat he wonld do more than any President since the war to disrupt the Demo cracy of the Solid South, aud events that have transpired have < onvineed me that the prediction was correct. “Having been born and' reared in tbe Sonth, surrounded by an the sentiment of that section, and sympathizing with its policies, I felt sure thatwhen the failure of his administration was generally recognizad, as fail it must, there would be a more general reaction in this section against Democratic policies than had ever previously been shown, because it necessarily meant tbat all must acknowledge that a fair trial has been accorded these doctrines Irom a distinctly Southern stand point, and there is no future to look forward to along these lines with any hope of suc cess. tlThe new tariff law has proved a complete failure. Not only has it failed to produce sufficient rev enue lor the needs of tbe govern ment, but it has distinctly injured business conditions aud today the geoeral cry of ‘hard times’ is heard io every direction whereas the country was more prosperous than ever before during the last vear of the preceding Republican admin istration. “The ouly thing which sustains orders for grain, food, ammunition and other supplies required for the European countries engaged in the world struggle, and this great con test causes » practical suspension stamp and license taxes.

That there has been a grave miscal culation in all these estimates is dem onstrated by the present low condi tion of the general fund in the treas ury and the deficit of more than $100,- 000,000 which has been piled up since tlie Democrats assumed control of tha administration. Receipts From Income Tax. The New York Sun is not disposed to agree with those Democrats who see in the increased Income tax re ceipts for this year evidence of the country's prosperity. The Sun makes two good points In figuring out why the receipts should be larger this year: "There are several reasons,”1 says the Sun, "why income tax returns should run larger than last year. The collection a year ago was not made, on the basis of a full year's income. This of itself is almost enough to ac count for the excesses which now ap pear. Again, in all likelihood, there Me more taxpayers, not because of increases In Incomes, which have Iironght the recipients into the tax- paying class of selected citizens who. lIiHvc been singled out for a comput. ■sory subsidy to government, but ‘be cause the law has become/Detter !known.” _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I Country Looka to Republicans.

To secure the Trust Company and the pur chasers of bonds tbe railroad- com pany is executing a deed of trust or mortgage for f l,250,000 on all its holdings in the three connties to be traversed by the road, viz* Iredell, Yadkin and Surry. The deed of trust or mortgage is now being officially registered m the three counties named. After the deed of trust has been legally executed and all prelimi naries arranged, bonds to tbe a- nionnt of $250,000 will be imme diately issued by the Mercantile Trust Company as trustee for the road and placed on sale. These bonds will be issued on the strength of the completion of tbe roadbed between Statesville and Harmony, a distance of 16 miles, and it is provided in the deed of trust that as each additional mile of road is completed and authoritive certifi cation to that effect is made by the officers of tbe railroad company to the Trust Company, $20,000 ad ditional bonds Bhall be released for sale.

A.

The road is better than I had even imagined it to be. Thirty feet wide, perfectly crowned and drained, as smooth as a race track, fine, wide bridges and reinforced concrete cul verts every grade easy and the cur ves wide and sweeping, it is a good roads crank’s dream come true, venture the assertion that there nothing in the State that is _ in same class with it, and during five years that I have been manag ing editor of Southern Good Roads I have seen many a good" road and handled hundreds of good roads pic tures. too.

Nothing would do Mary but we must stop and get a cold drink at John Groce's. We went over to the sale at Walker’s Bargain House and there me and Mary proceeded to buy bargains. We' eat dinner at the Southern Lunch Room and then went to Horn-Johnson’s mill where I sold my wheat to them and Mr, Horn took me a ride on the elevator. We went from the mill to Mocksville Hardware Company and bought supply of Stag paint and come dog- oned near buying a Malleable Range from Mr. Swaim and a hog from Ben Hooper. We stopped at Craw ford’s Drug Store and Dr. Crawford gave us a drink of Pepsi Cola and tried to sell us some Dodson’s Liver Tone but we wasn’t sick. We went back to Horn-Johnson’s mill and bought a supply of Mocksville Best flour to use in baking cake and pies for the Masonic picnic in Mocksville, Then we went to J. T. Cartiier’s and got some sugar to make jam and a few of those bargain shirts. We took a few minutes off to have Dr. Anderson to fill a tooth, and then started to drive to Allen’s ice house to get some ice, but when we got to the hollow this side the depot we had to side-track and wait for about a dozen wagons to come across that narrow piece of road, it being too narrow to pass on. We finally trot across and got our ice from Jim Ellis and dttive home and plum for got to stop and pav The Record that dollar we have been owing you for the last year, but just' send it on and maybe we will pay you the next time we cotrjgjto town if we are not too busy, .'S-f ‘ Weliketo read The Record and trade with Ifter people who advertise in it.

Three shocks were given before the prison physician announced that Becker was dead at 5:55 a. m Becker led the way to his own exe cation.The condemned man set up all night on the edge of his cot, calm ly talking to Deputy Warden Johnson, “I have got to face it,” said Becker, “and I am going to meet it quietly and without trouble to anyone.” When the witneeses were eiated Deputy Warden Johnson nodded to Keeper Fred Dorner, and they left the room through a small woo den door that led to the death cell beyond, where Becker was praying with his spiritual advisers. Becker rose to his feet when be saw Johnson and took the crucifix from the hands of the prison priest. To lather Curry, Becker gave his last message, as he took his place at the head of the little file oi rneu that marched to the room of death. Becker’s message, uttered to the priest, was: ‘ am not guilty by deed or con spiracy or in any other way of the death of Rosenthal. I am sacri Heed to my friends. Bear this message to the world and my friends. Amen.” The one time police officer hesi tated as he entered the execution room. Xt seemed to the witnesses as if be was startled that the death chair was so near at hand. He looked quickly at the double row of witne sses, glanced at the floor, swept his eyes to the whitened walls of the room and then sud deniy, as if coming to himself, walked briskly over the rubber mat and seated himself in the elec trie chair. Behind Becker follow ed the prisou priest chanting the prayer of death which was repeat ed by the condemned man. Deputy Warden Johnson half turned his head and the execution er jammed the switch. Pare Gospel From Ups of M tfe Lad Hendersonville, July 26 —Hender sonville is enjoying the unusual ex perience of sermons, attended by i spiritual awakening, from a 7-year- old preacher. Little Charles Turner, son of Rev. F. M. Turner, of Or lando. Fla., is treating Henderson ville to the pure gospel and is bring ing results, 14 confessions having been made at his preaching service Sunday night. The largest congregation ever known in the First Baptist Church of this city and probably the largest' gathering to hear a preacher or speaker since W. J. Bryan visited Hendersonville two years ago. pack ed the church building Sunday night until ail standing room was occupied in an effort to see and hear the mar velous preacher, who treated his hearers to the story of the rich man and Lazarus. The 7-year-old boy showed a wonderful familiarity with the Bible and its teachings and his, every day illustrations would lead ona to think that lie 13 much older in his experiences. While delivering his sermon he was perfectly contain ed and showed originality. “ When I was small,” the 7-year-older in his knee trousers started to illustrate with a personal experience, but he had to pause at the ripple of laught er and then asked. "What are you laughing about?” His father ex plained, "You are little now” "But I used to be smaller,” he continued with his message, exhorting his hearers to accept Christ without de lay. In relating the story of the boy’s conversion and his life. Rev. Mr. Turner said that while he was hold ing an evangeiistic service his son at 4 years old was converted and bap tized, and announced that he called to preaeh and immediately be gan, his first sermon being on “God is Love,” when he didn’t know a let ter of the alphabet. He entered school and in 10 months made six grades. For about three months he has missed preaching one sermon a day for only 10 days and on many days be has preached as high as four sermons and as many as two every Sunday. The young preacher, who is or dained preached two sermons in the city yesterday and will give two more before leaving. He makes a pro found impression upon his bearers as evidenced by the number of conver sions last night. There is said to have been more than 2,000 haptiar^ resulting from his preaching.. Caoa News.

He confessed Christ and joined Eaton’s Baptist church in Davie county, NorthCaroIinawhenhe was' 16 or 17 years of age. For about eighteen years of his early Christian life he was actively engaged in teaching vocal and instrumental music and leadingthemusic in revival servi ces. In 1879 he came west to La- Fayette county, Missouri, and some time afterward united with the First Baptist church at Independence, Mo. and was an active member of the choir. About 1887 he became a mem ber of Independence Order of Odd Fellows. On Oct. 31. 1889 he was united in marriage to Miss'Julia A. Childres, at Oseola, Mo. To this union were born three sons, two of whom survive. Immediately after their marriage they removed to Kan sas City, Mo., and both united with Independence Avenue Baptist church of that place, of which he was a deacon until coming west to Cali fornia in 1907. After arriving they placed their membership with First Baptist church, of San Francisco, Cali., and two years later they re moved to Los Angeles, but on ac count of unsettled conditions, they did not move their church member ship, but had until his recent illness been a regular attendant at Tonple Baptist church.

On the highways and turnpikes You can hear their wagons hum. For they're cornin’ back to Mocksville, And they're cornin' on the ran. Who’s cornin’ back to Mocksville, Why the migratory crowd Who left the buig some years ago With curses long and loud; And they swore by the eternal That they never would return To old Mocksville infernal Where the rivers run in riot When they want it to be dry_ Where the son. so fiercely scorces When they want a cloudy sky. So they loaded up the children And they whistled for the dogs; Tied the cow behind the wagon; To the butcher sold the hogs; Hitched the ponies to the schooner. Turned prow to west and east Left this beastly Mocksville For a land of fat and feast. Did they find it? No, they didn’t; Tho they roamed the country over From the lakes up In the Northland To the far off ocean shore; And they found that oth«| sections ■' Had their woes and other shings So they’re humpin’ now for Mocksville Since the breakin' forth of Soring. Mappmg The Good Roads. The Observer is very glad to have information from The Asheville Ga zette News that Dr. Joseph Hyde Prattisnow atw orkona series of ’visual” road maps for the Automo bile Blue Book. These maps will be rather elaborate, with only 40:^miles of road to the page, and will be ac companied by detailed information as to topography, distances and con dition of roads. A work of this kind has been badly needed, and as the automobile traffic increases, the de mand is broadened. It is a notorious fact that the North Carolina roads are practically unmarked by guide- posts, and so continuously are the farmers interruped in their work by people wanting information about the way, that they begin to “cuss” as soon as they see an automobile slowing down and turning out to the roadside, for they know it means the circumscribing and puncturing of Uiehorizonwith the index finger. The county road map has become as much of a necessity to the traveling public as is the railroad time-table. In the preparation of this book of maps, Doctor Pratt is doing the public a great service.—Charlotte Observer. Miss Rnth Taylor Dead. Miss Ruth Taylor, of Smith Grove, died last Tuesday after a several months illness of tuberculosis, aged abou.t 22 years. The funeral and burial services were held Wednesday at Smith Grove, Rev D. C.

List-takers whose business it is to see that all persons liable for taxes make due report, are concerned a- bout the folks who let automobiles for hire. It is the current belief that there are numerous auto-owners in Iredell—in the county as well as in the towns—who hire their ma chines oft occasion—many of them making it a regular business. The State levies a tax of $5 per annum on all persons who let automobiles for hire and all those would do well to make report to a list-taker, lest a worse thing come upon them. Tbe corporation commission is sending out special examiners whose business it is to uncover all persons liable for special taxes, and a good many peo ple who have been dodging taxes of that character are going to be called to taw.—Statesville Landmark.

Berlin, July 20.—The exact regis tration of the huge hords of over a million prisoners of war Sn Germany, so that rank, service division and p’ace of confinement of each man can be imtantly determined, has been perfected to an astonishing de gree by Count Schwerin, a 60-year old cantain of cavalry. Today the relatives of any French, Russian. English, Canadian, Italian, Serbian, Montenegrin, Belgian or Japanese prisoner in Germany can ascertain within 24 hours where that soldier is an) what his condition's This is made possible through a card catalogue that all but beggars description, it is probably the most perfect thing of its size and kind in existence. In its creation two other systems have had to be discarded as inadequate, and work and pains lav ished on them duplicated. In its maintenance 80 persons are engaged, while its inventor. Count Schwerin, works twelve hours a day, oversee ing things. Each day dozens and scores of lists of names pour into Count Schwerin’s department of the war ministry in the Dorotheenstrasse, here in Ber lin. These lists give the necessary i !formation for filling out the cards, so that each shall contain the name and forname of the prisoner, his ser vice branch, regiment and company, the place and date of his capture, and the place where he is held. If he is wounded, the nature of his wounds and the hospitol where he is are added. Recommends Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

Bathing Suits at Morebead Attract Attention. The following is. an advertise ment for Morebead; “Visitors to the bathing -beaches near Morebead City are Ibis season being regaled with something new in the line of bathing suits and, according to the version if some, that is one reason that such large crowds are flocking to that water ing place. Staid old Morehead City is copying after the more fashionable places, such as Atlantic City, Coney Island a n d ether resorts, and in consequence the raiment of some of the fair bathers would make Solomon in all of hie glory turn green with envy. One young woman a few days ago ap peared on the beach in a salmon colored creation made of silk. Now silk doesn’t act very well after being wet and while the young woman attracted considerable at tention before taking a dig in the briny, it is said that there was a regular riot after she had made two or three plunges beneath the waves and returned to the beach for a sun bath.” Blind Tigers Bad in Asheville.

Atlanta, Ga., July 16.—More than sixteen and a half million passengers—a number greater than the combined population of Vir ginia, North Carolina, South Caro lina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky—were transported by Southern Railway daring the year ended June 30, with only one fatal injury to a passenger while on a train and that one was stand ing on a car platform in direct violation of the Company’s rules. Of this great number of passeng ers, not one was killed in a train accident. This excellent record was shown in the official figures given out to day indicating the high degree of safety that has been attained in the handling of Southern Railway passenger trains. In marked contrast are figures recently given out by President Fairiax Harrison, of Southern Rail way, showing that during the same period twelve persons riding in automobile were killed in accidents at public highway crossings, every one of which accidents could have been prevented had the driver oi the car observed the familiar warn ing, “Stop.

AUGUST 11. 1915.NUMBER 4 IS BUT OKE ISSUE tariff Will Be Question in Next Campaign. Democratic Party Will Be Called Upon to Explain Why Through Revision the Country Has Suffered Ito Loss In Business. Effects of the European w ar upon IUf iiextAmerican election are already JieSng discussed in Europe as well bb In the Vnlted States. One of the Eng lish newspapers wonders whether the decline in trade In the United States ,,ill be blamed on the w ar or on the tariff. The answer is obvious. In November, 1912, the total trade balance in favor of America was $162,- (100,000. In that m onth the Democratic ]iartv was elected to power on a tariff revision platform. The fear of tariff r,-vision was already In the air and had caused an unsettling of values. In November, 1913, the trade balance had declined to $97,357,000, or a-loss ot SS-i,000.000 as compared with the piniitH of the election, a year before. In October, 1913, the tariff bill was passed, and from that tim e until the outbreak of the w ar Imports Increased, exports decreased. From the tim e the tariff bill was passed, -Am ericans bought more abroad because it was cheaper; they sold less abroad be cause foreign im ports closed many American factories and diminished the American output. In November, 1913, a portion of the Vmlerwood law became effective, and lbe remainder in January, 1914. The decline was correspondingly steady. In January, 1914, it ran down to $49,- 224,900 in favor of the United States; in February, to $25,876,000—going down;"‘"in March, to $4,944,000 In our favor—still going down; In April the bottom dropped out and the balance sirainst the United States was $11,211,- OOO. And up to that tim e there was not even a hint of a European war. It will not be possible to cloud the issue in the next campaign. The oppo- tMon to,.the party__in power, will con- ccntrate on the tariff.

The Baby Smokers Cigars. Raleigh News and Observer. “Speakingof iufanlile curiosi ties, writes Mr. D, M. Clark of Greenville, “.We have one down here io Pitt county that I believe will be worth telliog yours readers about. “Some days ago I happened to be in Dr. Greene’s office in Green ville, when Mrs. £. S. Edwards, of the nearby town of 'Arthur, came in with her little boy who is not quite three years old. Having been previously told by several people that the child was an in* veterate smoker, and being rather skeptical, I was impelled by cari osity to wait and watch develop ments. To my great surprise the child, who could scarcely walk, due to a stroke of paralysis sustain ed when it was one year old, drag ged itself up to its mother and be gan to say, “gar-gar;” whereupon the mother produced a cigar and atter lighting it handed it to the child, as a matter of course. The little fellow did not grasp the cigar with both hands, as one would ex pect a child to handle a bottle, but instead seized the weed between his lingers and puffed and t lew his smoke in a manner that would do credit to a veteran smoker. “To my several questions the mother replied, that the child was not quite three years old, that it was paralyzed when about 12 months old, and began Bmokiug its father’s cigar stumps soon alter . it was paralyzed and before it could hold them well; that it now has to have its cigars every day to . keep it quiet, and that it will not smoke a cheroot or anything IeBS strong than a goodgrade cigar, and that it always smokes the entire cigar up, leaviog only a shott Btunip. The doctor also informs me that the child only within the paBt month had recovered sufficiently from its paralysis to hobble around on its feet and that some day . it will probably become normal, but that be did uot attribute its pres ent or past condition to the tobacco habit acquired so young.” Rejects America’s Contention. VVashiugton, A u g . 3.—Great Britaiu’s reply to the latest Ameri-. can representations against inter ference with neutral commerce was made public tonight. It rejects entirely the contention that the orders-in-council. are illegal and justifiee the British course ae wholly within international law. ^ . “ Unsustainable either in point of law or upon the principles of international equity,” the British reply terms the American protests against blockade ot neutral ports. Great Britain then invites submis sion to international, arbitration any cases in which the United States is dissatisfied with the action of the British prize courts. The British reply is contained in two notes, one supplemental* With the notes was made public the correspondence over the British seizure ol the American steamer Neehes, en route from Rotterdam to the United States with German goods. Iu this Great Britain de^ cliues to allows free passage to goods originating in Germany or in the territory Geimany controls. The Neehes’ cargo came from Bel gium. After a man has le'arned that he can’t beat another man at his own game, he begins to dodge the in dividual with a g e t rich quick scheme. Your Cough C a i Be Stopped. Bryan Was Right. The ignorant and malicious abuse that was heaped upon W. J. Bryan because he saw fit to withdraw from the Cabinet was disgusting. Whether Mr. Iiryan was wise in the way he went abont the matter- we do not know; whether bis' re tirement fiom the Cabinet compli cated matters and made the task of the President a harder one, we are not certain; but this much we do know; Bryan followed his con science in the matter, and had no science in the matter, and had no other motive in view than his country’s good. The country iB beginniug to see that, holding the views he did, there was good rea- son for Bryan’s retirement to priv atelife. If he had remained a member of the President’s official family he would have become, in volved in a policy in which he had no heart—in faet which be Btrenu ously opposed. Whether his posi- tion. is righi or wrong is not the question. Believing as he did, it would hardly have been the honest thing for him to hold a public position in which at best he could have rendered only half-hearted service. His conduct since his re tirement, except that perhaps he has been talking too much, has been altogether admirable. He aiatiifeirts the deepest Bympathy with the President in bis eftort to arrive at the right conclusion, and shows a willingness to help rather than hinder the administration al though be totally disgrees with his former associates. Noman in the country has received harder knocks than Bryan, and no other is better able to endure thein. The reason for his cqolnefite under abuseisiihait he stands by his honest convictions of truth and duty. It ie hard to down a man who keeps his con science cleau and who cannot be purchased. It is impossible to down such a man, for he “can smile at satan’s rage, and face a frown ing world.” We are by no means <t blind follower of Bryan. There are many public men in the coun try for whose judgment we have morerespeet. Heisoftenmistakeo,. but be is always honest, and those who accuse him of intrighe and treachery are' either ignorant or malicious. Bryan is goi ng to come out of the present unfortunae situation smiliog and serene with out the slightest, injury to his unblemished Christian character ^—Charity and Children.

It is well that the Press associa tion has taken at this time the steps preliminary to raising a monument to the memory of Joseph P. Caldwell, This memorial will be built through the efforts of the newspapers of tbe State. And it will be, E&ost of all, an expression of the affectionate esteem in which Mr. Galntweil was held by the members: of his own profession who, of the citizenship of the State, knew him .best, and were best able to judget6f his work and merits. Althotight it ris already long Bince he quit the field, there still remain a host of men who were his co-workers in it, and to whom his memory Je a prized individual pos session. Mr. Caldwell was a man of industry, talent at labor, a good thinker, blessed with a wonderful and delightful facility of expres sion; yet is it not a fact that thoBe with whom he came in contact esteemed the man more than bis work! V Bich individuality, magnetic personality, sterling, adamantine in the fixity of bis regard, he was a coinpiller of men’s hearts. ThiB great and impressive character, impressive w ithout pomposity, dignified in simplicity, adorned our profession of the Fourth Kstate, and 4o him we should raise a fit ting memorial. He adorned Jbe citizenship of North Carolina, and good; citizens should seek to have a share in' that memorial. Most Throw Away Cigarette, i The Sylvan Valley News. j According to TheCarolina Moun taineer the school board of Hay-, wood county baa decided not to allow any Ieacher who smokes’ cigarettes to teach school iu Ibat1 conntv. This is certainly a step iu the right direction, 'for there is no wajrof estimating the extent of the iuflueDcea cigarette smoking teach er would have upon the ytmng boys coming nnder his care. The boys seeing the teacher puffing away at a cigarette from day to day. wouiii look upou the habit as being all right and doubtless hundreds of them would fall into this till by. expensive and destructive liabit.

Be kind to your neighbor. Some day he may be on the jury that is trying your case. The progressive citizens of our town should get together and organ ize a building and loan association Such an organization would do more for Mocksville than anything we know of. So far as we have been able to learn, the people of Davie county d« not want a fair this fall. The Re cord can't run a street fair, or any other kind of a fair without the co operation of the citizens of the town and country. The war still moves alotig in Eu rope without any interruption. Ger many seems to be entertaining the balance of Europe, and the war pro mises to go on for many mocn5. England is furnishing the money while Russia is doing the figbtirg for the Allies. If a Democrat must be elected next year as Attorney General, w«- had rather see Gus Self, of Hickory, get the job than anyone else. Guf is one of the brainiest lawyers in,Ihe State, and he is a good, clever fel low to boot. ■ He would fill the office acceptable, both to himself and the public generally. The automobile speedway through town is going to be the cause of somebody losing their life. Com mon sense should be used by auto drivers in passing through town, and if some of them don’t mend lheii gait they will have to pay dearly for it. The mayor of Mocksville has is sued a notice that automobiles must not exceed eight miles per hour it the business part of town. It i? ur to every law-abiding citizen in the town and countv to help enforce IhtF law. If you own a car.you can help enforce the law by driving under the speed limit. The prospects for a bntnper corn crop in Davie county:has never beer better than now. If no freshet visit? us this month, Davie should have corn to do the county and several thousand bushels to spare. Things are coming the way of the farmer these days. Blackberries are gone but water melons, cantaloupes and grapes are with us until there is no rest for the poor man’s stomach. When one good thing goes two or three others come along to take its place. We don’t known how lucky we are no how. Many of our people would be glad for the Road Commissioners to go a- head with the road work in the coun ty. They can’t do so unless the county borrows some money. There are a number of roads in the county that have been started but cannot I e completed for lack ?f funds. We believe a big mass meeting 6hould be held here and give the people a chance to say what they want. IS THIS PROSPERITY? The administration continues to run behind at the rate of about three quarters of a million dollars per day. By strenuous efforts to induce early payments of income taxes and Iy urging prompt remittances by col- IectorsI the Treasury Department was able to make a book showing of a balance of about $82,000,000 on J tilv I. That this was a forced show* ing fop effect at the close of the fi3ca! year is now proven by the fact that from the first day of the new year;.the expenditures exceed e l tlie receipts and the balance drop ped to about $67,000,000 at the closc of businessjS&^rday, July 24. On the corresponding date two years ago, with Republican revenue and appropriation laws in effect, the bal ance w as $129,453,000,—Hickory Mercury. Ida Warren and Christy to Die. Ida Ball Warren and Samuel Pres ton Christy were found guilty of murder in the first degree by the jury in the Forsvth Superior Court last night and sentenced to be elec trocuted on Friday, September 24, and Clifford Stonestreet was found guilty of being an accessory after the fact and sentenced to a term of three years on the county roads of Forsyth county. Motions were made by counsel for all three defendants to have the ver diets set aside and for a new trial, and the same were overruled and the defendants excepted and appeal ed to the Supreme Court, the cases to be carried to the Supreme Court in forma pauperis. The passing of sentence on the three defendants in the Muddy Creek Murder Mystery case brought to a dramatic, close the most notable criminal case in the annals of North Carolina criminal courts. Never be fore has a more complicated crimi nal action been heard in the courts of this State than the one concluded at midnight last night, nor has there ever been a bolder murder than the one in which the lone and deserted body found in Muddy Creek was the victim. It was notable, too, because it was the first time that the extreme pen alty of the law has been meted out to a woman in North Carolina in a long time. The jury filed into the court room amid a sudden calm, broken only by the straining of heads to see the 12 men as they filed into the jury box. The three defendants had been escortnd to the bar circle a short time before. They were brought to the prisoners’ room at the court house just a few minutes before 11 o’clock. It was 11:07 o’clock when the jury* men seated themselves in the box, Mr. J. F. Fulton was chosen as spokesman for the jury, and, after the court formalities, he was called upon the the verdict. “ We find the defendants, Ida War ren and Samuel P. Christy, guilty of murder in the first degree, and the defendant, Clifford Stonestreet, guil ty of being an accessory after the fact,” he said. Each of the 12 men composing the jury were called upon separately to state his verdict in-the case, all repeating the verdict as an nounced by the spokesman, Mr Fulton. Germans Capture Warsaw. London, Aug. 5.—The Germans hold Warsaw, the capital of Poland and the third largest city of Russia TheBavarian troops under Prince Leopold entered the city this ..morn ing, having taken successively the Bionic line and outer and inner for tresses. The Russians fought rear guard actions to allow their main army to escape. Emperor William and his consort are expected to make a State entry soon. The real conquerors of Waraaw are Von Hindenburg, fighting along the Narew river to the northeast, the Austro Germans who crossed the Vistula south of Warsaw, the Aus trian Archduke Ferdinand and Von Mackensen, advancing northward between the Vistula and the Bug. The Russians are fighting desper ately to check the progress of these four armies and have had several successes, inflicting heavy losses • on pursuers, but the Russians are being steadily pushed back. Even now, although the Kussian steadiness and fierce counter attacks gained much valuable time, it is problematical whether the whole Russian army can gain new positions or even when they get there will not find these positions turned by the Austrains who have crossed the Bug southeast of Chelm, and the Germans who crossed the' Narew. Russians also are threatened on the northeast. Thus far the Russian retreat has been successful, for although the Germans claim they have captured many prisoners, the aggregate. is small compared with the immense armies engaged.. It is believed that the Russians have saved nearly all their guns also. The refugees ar riving in Moscow said that Warsaw was stripped of everything of a military value, that even the factory, machinery was taken away. The Rusnans are also preparing to evacuate Riga in the north, and the arrival of the German^ ten miles south of thatnsity already has caused the civilians to leave.: While ex pressing the Gallest confidence in the future, the British observers do not belittle the Germans' achievement 6 r the effect their Bqccesses likely will have in the near East or West. There is much discussion as to wheth er they will staijt a big offensive ' iq France, while some expect them to attack Serbia in order to intimidate the Balkan fftates._______ CanaNews.

After almost an all-day rain a heavy thundershower culminated in a cloudburst, fyr an hour residents along th e couree«r<>f Mill creek through the east center of the. city watched the slow rise due to a rain fall of nearly three inches in six hours. At 8:45 the Glenwood ,dam. three miles above the city, burst and a huge wall of water swept through the city, carrying with it the homes of those who had waited until *tfee last minute to leave and in several cases the families, still refused to seek safety.

As the classes are all busy through the suiumer we are expecting greater work than ever before. We want to make our column successful this year. Would be glad if each class would send in a report of their class be fore our next county convention which will be held with Mocksville church the last of October. There will be given a Baraca cr Fhila Ihea pennant to hang in your class room to the class which sends in the beBt report between now and our convention. Some class will get this, why not yours?

Other clasres without report!rs are urged to e eet them at ouce.—Editor Re cord. Making The Class A Success Brother Baracas and Sister Phil atheas and friends. In discussing my. subject, making the class a sue cess I hope to say a few things that will indeed be a help lo us. I wisL to begin my remarks by uigiDg all to faithfully perform the duties oi their office. No class can be a front rank class when the officers are iDdiflerent and careless about doing the work aesigued them. If the President is jguorant ot the duties involved upon he or she a card to our general secretary will bring the desired information. Wheu it is obtained do not let tim idity or negligence prevent you lrom performing your duty to the letter. The President should take entire management of the class and should watch the treasury and the aid of money makieg entertain uieuts and various other financial propositions. Never let (he class funds run entirely out. The class should be maoaged so that the teacher’s time can be wholy given to the preparation of the leBSon. The Secretary should faithfully discharge the obligations of the office. From correct bookkeeping down to doing all the class'corres pondence, should be faithfully dis charged. I think we Bhonld make neat work a specialty, and if our Secretaries write minutes of every Sunday’s session as well as busi ness meetings it would make our books more interesting and help greatly towards making our con vention reports. Tlsnally tho Treasurers think there is nothing lor them to do but hold the money and pay the bills. These officers ghould have seperate books from the roll book and keep correct accounts of all money ie CeivediiitOJbe treasury and all that is paitriinit and what it was paid out frifi- Our Treasurers also SLouid cosop’trate with the Prtsi- “DodsoR’s Unr Tonw Will Chu Ynr ShggjSk Linr Belhr Ttai Cahail Mk Cm No! Sallwta Calomel makes you sick; you lose a day’s work. Calomd is quicksilver and it salivates; calomel injures your liver. If you are billouB; fed lazy. sluggish and «11 knocked out, if your bowls are constipated and your head aches or stomach is sour, just take a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Liver Tone instead of using sickening, salivating calomel. Dodson’s Liver Tone is real liver medi cine. You’ll know it next morning be cause you will wake up feeling fine, your liver, will be working, your headache «nd dizziness gone, your stomach will be sweet and bowels tegular. You will feel like working. You’ll be cheer ful; full of enerev. visor and ambition. Your druggist or dealer sells you a 50 cent bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone under my personal guarantee that it will clean your sluggish liver better than nasty calomel; it won’t make you side and you can eat anything you want without being salivated. Your druggist guarantees that each spoonful will start your liver, clean your bowels and straighten you up by morning or.you get your money back./ Children gladly take Dodson’s Liver Tone because it is pleasant tasting and doesn’t gripe or cramp or make them sick. I am’ selling millions of bottles .of Dodson’s Liver Tone to people-who have found that this pleasant, vegetable, liver medicine takes the place of dangerous calomel. Buy one bottle on my sound, reliable guarantee. Ask your druggist ahm t ma — dent in planning ways and means of making money for class expenses. Now last, but not least of the of ficers by ady means iS:the various committees, and let me, as a fellow worker, urge these committees to work and report their work, 8o often we bear Presidents call tor reports from these committees and not one moves or speaks. Now if you are on the sick and relief work, look well over your town and community for any that are sick or in distress, visit them and ask the whole class to do likewise. Perhaps there is need that a little money can relieve, a lonely persou that your presence will cheer, a shut-in to whom yon may carry books, magazines and flowers, or an aged couple who cannot get out to church often, that a number of the class members can visit, carry ing your Bible and song books. They will appreciate the scripture reading and the Binging. Tbe workers ou the volunteer or bust, Ier committee should canvass the community in search of people Who need to be in Sunday school woik for the whole Sunday school and not for your class only. The Social committee should look well to their job of having some social feature every month, and during the sum uier months nothing is so nice and inex pensive as picnics. Next we come to the members. Do you stand by your class officers and teacher? Do you co-operate with them in carrying out the plans for class development? Do you attend the socials when-your com mittee gets them up? If you do not, let me beg you in the name of Baracasand Philatbeas to mend your ways. Nothing is so discour aging to the president when he or she asks for nominations, wbtr they are in order, or votes during an electiou. or ask6 your opinion on various discussions and gets no re spouse whatever. I say nothing is more discouraging unless it is your failure to make preparation for and to take part in the lesson discussion. To know how the teacher feels when this condition exists, take a class yotuself and if you get no response to your ques tions; I predict that you will make an inward vow to talk more if you are ever another class member. It is universally known that the dis cussion method is better than the lecture by the teacher. If we will only think a little we will want to state our views and -ask questions about the lesson.. When all are doing this it is moch easier for the teacher. Andagain Iet rue urge you not to allow timidity to pre vent you from expressing yourself. We do not want the same Vihws as some one else or the same’ form of expressing as the other feliow, but rather be individual and express your ideas in your own words. Next I would like to - speak of loyalty. If I were to ask every Baraca and Philatbed here if you were loyal to your class I have no donbt that the answer would be yes. But are you? Think a min ute. Did you repeat that ngly little thing you beard some one say about the class? when some grouch said that Barjrca or Philathea class is going down hill., F id you say yes it is?, If you did you are dis loyal. To be true-'and loyal to’ your ciass you want to forget every I unpleasant Uiing said of class or' class members,. . Posh them out of' your mibd( do not eqtettoio them1 for a minute, but remember every good thing and tell it, keep the good news going. Did you ever hear of good things growing larger oft repeating them, as bad things do? That is queer, isn’t it, but it is true. .Now I mean boost the class not boast. Il every one tells • child it is brd, pretty soon the child will be bad. It is the same wich the class. Now the Baraca- Philathea movement is good. Let’s boost it and by our ioyalty make it better. Tf we have been loyal, what has become of our Baraca- Philathea column in our county paper. I dislike to say we are disloyal, but the fact stands for it self. I am sure Miss Annie Foster feels that we are very negligent- to say the least. Now let us rally our forces and boost. Let’s keep the column Mr. Stroud has gener ously given us'fnll of interesting news of all our classes, and while our enthusiasm soars^-during the convention let’s keep it up at! tbe year round. And when we. find that the class machinery needs oil ing^ send (or Mr. Gaudell, He will put new life into our work and send us on rejoicing. Let him visit your classes anyway. His coming will always be a blessing. I hear you say, ‘-Sure, he can come any time, we are always glad to see him.” But “any time” invi-. tat ions are seldom accepted. Foi instauce a neighbor says; ‘’Just come to see me any time you can.’’ We neglect going do we not? ? But it that fiiend says, “ Come over Thursday, we are going to have ffesh light bread and fried chicken for dinner,” we will be Sure to go lhursday, won’t we? Now let’s do that way about our President Let’s write him to come visit oui class oo such and such a Sunday, that the whole commuuity is com ing out to hear him, and be wili sure come and gladly come. The President naturally feels a liesi- Iancy about iuviting ’ himself to places for tear it doesn’t suit the community or the classes might think he was takiDg too much lib erty. So let’s not deny oui reives the pleasure and bel p to he de prived from his visits but rather let’s keep him busy accepting in vitations. If we do this, I am sure our enthusiasm wifi always last and we will indeed have sue cessful classes. I ULA MILLER.' Is Sickness A Sin? If not, it's wicked to neglect illness and means of relief.

But if he allows the governor to pardon him, he will be electrocuted. Thatwasthesituation which de veloped here today, and its solution i3 in the hands of Sam and nobody else. Sam killed four of his wife’s rela tives in Conway county. For one case, tried, first, they sentenced him to a life term. Then they tried him on another and judgment of death was pronounced. Under the law, a prisoner sentenced to a life term can’t be electrocuted unless he is first pardoned. As th e attorney general has ruled a prisoner doesn’t have to accept a pardon unless he wants to, Sam’s fate lies with him self. They can’t execute him unless he takes the pardon; they can’t send him to the farm for life because he is supposhd-to occupy the death cell. So Sam appears to have the bulge on the situation.

Hughes writes as follows: “I was down with stomach trouble for five (5) years, and would have sick headache so bad, at times, that I thought surely I would die. I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought I would die. He advised me Io try Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quit lakbg other medicines. I decided to take his advice, although I did noi havs any confidence in it. I have now been taking Black-Draught for three months, and it has cured me-, haven’t had those awful sick headaches since I began using it. I am so thankful for w hal Black- Draught has done for me.” Thedford’s Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for de rangements of the stomach and liver, it is composed of pure, vegetable hercs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet surely. It can be Irce y used by young and old, and should to kept in every family chest. Get a package today. Only a quarter. ^ ^ NOTICE! NOTICE!

The interests of the country require (hat it be called into session months before the first Monday in December. ■ It is possible that foreign relations may demand ItB m eeting within 30 ;da.vs, but whether or not a crisis oc- i curs requiring such speedy m eeting there can be no doubt that In late • September or early October it should 'be called to care for the interests of !the country. I The people are dem anding protec tion of our rights as neutrals upon I the oceans. They appreciate the im possibilities 'of their government m aintaining those rights by moral suasion, citation of I broken laws or pointing to the ten i commandments. So law, either hum an or divine, but has been violated by th e factions In ',Mexico and by the belligerents upon the oceans and th e continents. The people of the United States stand for moral suasion, but when that fails they kn»w they m ust resort 'to a powerful naivy and a strong and numerous arm y under the w ar demen tia which has now taken possession of Europe and Japan, nnd tliey should liavc such navy and arm y a.t the ear liest moment it can be provided for.

N re 1Ca!! SfsTOte" ecoN a fa *»ct Ih st .MHthrfct a msMnhnen?ftnon* WWffMltir Stay on The Farm. Henry Ford says that he is going to engage iu the manufacture of tractor engines principally for the purpose of keeping tbc boys on the farm. Ifhe succeeds in that be will have perlortned a greater public service than any man of his age. For the movement from the farms to the cities, in spite of all efforts to prevent it or to check it, grows in volume every year. No psychologist or observer has ever been able to exlain the mysterious influence which the bright lights of the city exercise over the mind of the farmer boy. To those of ns who have growu old and gray pad dling along the paved sidewalks and robbed of our eyesight by those same bright lights, how much more beautiful is the light of the starB on a clear night or the light of the moon, as it silvers tbe Helds, says aD Exchange. ‘ 'Once upon a time, long and long ago, we, too, left the farm to go out H nd conquer' the world, to Iind a pot of gold at the foot of tbe rainbow and write our name in let ters of eudtiring brass on the en trance to the temple of fame. A great deni of water has run under the bridge since then, and now we Iind ourselves where it is too late to retrace the steps we have taken in all of the weary years since then. We have not found the pot of gold, uor have we written our names ou: auy thing higher than a hotel regis ter or a promissory note, or per haps a marriage register. But we have found in abounding measure sorrow and suffering and misery and distress, death in all of :,its indst horrible forms, crime in its naked indifference to law, hypo crisy anti deceit aud a thousand oiher tbiugs from which the mind turns as willingly as the feet 'turn from the entrance to a morgue. There has beeu some suushine, it is true, a little here and there, to dry the Hood of tears, bnt not the sunshiuo which iilumiues tbe hay mow aud the old burn, which glints aloug the fields of waviog grain. We have found some true men and a great many, good women, living tu the mire and grime of tlie cities, but in some indefinable way, some inexplicable, impalpable finality, a different from the women on. the (’arm. Farm life is the most independ ent, the most dignified, the noblest existence ou earth. As the earth is tire source of all wealth, so tbe tiller oi the soil, the man who is brother to the bees and birds, to the sunshine and the shadow, is tbe man who is to be envied ot all others. Z1Jhat it requires as high au order of intelligence to^success fully iimuage a farm as it does a grocery store, but adds to the strength of the statement. Ifa boy has any notion of leaving his old home on the farm for the fal-e lights of the city we suggest that he leave home without a penny, take train for the bigge9t town he cau pay his fare to, and try for six months to make a living, He will be a wiser and a better boy at the end of six months, and he will go b.rek to that old farm as fast as tho cars can carrv him.” The man who sees his opportun ities should he quick about it, or some other fellow will seize them. FairIwdierfS Ideaof a Vacatioa. Everything. You see it in the paper most every day that a dozen or so people are go ing “ to the Springs’’—and they hike out in joyful mood, and return in a week or ten days, very much, fa tigued. The Springs habit is a good one provided people would go and remain long enough and live to na ture. Butthemajorityof the wo men folk want to dike, want to dress to kill, and there is no rest. Themanwhowants real recrea- tion should go to some wild stretch of woods, where a river runs, and where he can swim and fish and loaf and fight bugs and other insect warmits.” Remain long enough to get hungry and relish bacon and baked potatoes; long enough to get his face and his hands tanned good and brown—far enough away that mail cannot reach him nor messeng ers find him. Thirty days of soli tude like this—it the conscience is clear—will do a man more good than fifty Society Springs—like you read about. Radag With DeatL Salisbury Post. Only a few days ago a railroad man, running between Salisbury and Goldsboro, told a Post repre sentative that not only the auto mobilists were engaged in this practice (racing with trains) but but riders of motorcycles were at it. He cited an instance where a man went to his train to see some ladies off and when the traio pulled out he jumped on a motorcycle and made a dare-devil ride to the next station and there greeted bis lady friends; and Iheu agaiu darted oft on another “exceed the speed limit” andAuadeit.-to the next stattotf befoie the arrival of the train and between these stations the public road crosses the railroad several times. It is almost a daily occurrence in this railroad center to hear engi neers and liremem and other rail road men tell of the narrow escapes of people who drive across tbe track in front o f approacbiog trains. It may all be sport for the fellow doing the driving, but if one could hear the trainman Aell of these tbiugs and of bow it makes his blood run cold aud his heart leap to his throat, it would be realized that it was no fun to him.

Theeouutry has gone wild over daotfog, The favorite dance9 are those which were originated in tbe red light districts of onr cities. A few years ago they would not have been tolerated, bnt tbe society con science has become so deadened that society no longer protests a- gaiost thorn, although some of them have I een denounced by dancing masters and actresses as being in heiently vicious. The same indictments that have been brought against dancing in tbe paat.may be brought with ad ded emphasis against these dances. Many a youngwomanis lured to her entemal destruction. There is but one thiug that onr churches can do, and that is to take a firm stand against tbe eucoacbmentB of tbe modern dance. We should deal witii our young people In the spirit of Christ, and seek very earnestly and persistently to show them their error and to win them back to the true life, but if after tactful, patient, loving effort, they refuse to abandon tbe practices which discredit Christianity, then then the church must deal with them as the New Testment directs. A cbuiph is in a pitible condition. If it has not strength and senti ment enough to win back or discip line her young people. We may be “old-fogy” but we are opposed to the teaching of dancing in our schools.: This is a breeding place for the more vicious practice into which they will be led next. What a pity it will be if in a few years young Jromen will trace tbeir down fall to |he social dance back to the time when they learned dancing in the public school.

The great amount of road improve ment work that is being done now and is contemplated in the adjoining counties indicates that this entire section of North Carolina will soon have a veritable net-work of good roads. And the work is being done throughly, too, for many permanent bridges are being erected over the streams. Davie county has been engaged in building a system of good roads for the past two years, and the $175,000 for road purposes has about been ex* pended. Itisnotknown just how many miles of road has been built in Davie county but it is known that that county has a road system of which it may well be proud. While no detinite action has been taken yet it is understood that a movement is on foot to get out a petition asking for another bond is sue in the sum of $100,000 for the purpose of building more good roads in that progressive county. It seems that the great results ob tained from the roads just built and under process of construction has caused great interest in road build ing In the county. In addition to the manv miles el good roads built in Davie, manj splendid bridges have also been con- structed. Mr. Ambler reports that the b i Igt over Dutchman creek in Davie coun ty is now almost completed. Plans have also been drawn for the Fork Church-Augusta bridge over Dutch man creek. Up For Retailing. William Hardin, colored, who lives near Critz mil), this county, was ar rested last Saturday, charged with retailing whisky. A suit case con taining an empty fruit jar, an emptj bottle and jelly glass, and a razoj and pistol, were found in the wagor of J. C. Steele, a white man, ol Clarksville township. A quart bot tle of whisky was found in a hand bag in the same wagon. The negro was tried before V. E. Swaim, J.

A Ttibote of Love. Monday, July, 26,1915, the death angel visiteljthe home of Mrs. M. J. Tayloran^claimed as His trophy Ruth, a charter member of Smith Grove Philathea class. The com ment generally made as the news of the death became known was "She was a good girl." Shewasa faith ful and devoted worker in the church and Sunday school, being teacher of our class when she became ill. Ruth will be sadly missed, for to know her was to love her. Therefore be it resolved: First. That we the members of the class humbly bow to this dispan* Bation of our loving father, who in tenderness takes his children from a life of physical pain and suffering to live with him, "where the weary are at rest.” , Second. That in her death the class has lost one of its truest and most faithful members and the family a devoted daughter and kb • ter. Third. That we extend sincere sympathy to the bereaved family, and with the same send the comfort ing message. Ruth has only - fallen asleep to wake in the realms of eter nal day. Fourth. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to tbe home and to the Baraca and Philathea Herald and to the Davie Record. Miss E th e l N ay lo r, Miss L aru a K im brough, Miss G ladys N ay lo r. The Maiomc Picnic. The Thirty-seventh Annual Ma sonic picnic held at Clement Grove, on Thursday, was a success financial ly and otherwise. On account of weather conditions the crowd was not so large as last year, but several thousand people were present and all enjoyed themselves fully. There was no drinking or fighting and but one arrest was made during the day. The annual address by Hon. Tasker Polk, of Warrenton, was fine, and the exercises by the orphans were very good. The music dispensed by Crouse’s Band, of Winston, was a pleasing feature of the day. The excursion from Winston brought over 400 visitors. The receipts this year have not yet been learned. The day was well spent. Space forbids a more lengthy mention of the pic nic in this issue. Revival Meeting at Center.

Plenty of evidence of their worth. F. H. Wollschlager. tailor, 600 N. High land Ave.. Winston-Salem. N. C.. soys: “I was in a bad way with lumbago. With out the least warning, I got such awful pains in my kidneys that I would fall to the floor. I have had to be carried home and given morphine to relieve the awful, pain. My back pained like a toothache night and day and I was laid up in bed for weeks at a time. I couldn't take a full breat without getting a stitch in my back that felt as if a knife was stabbing me. One box of Doan's Kidney Piib re lieved me and gave me a new back. I haven't had any trouble from my kidneys since:" Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kid ney Pills—the same that Mr. Wollschlager had. Foster-Milbum Co.. Props., Buffalo'. N. Y.

The Foundation Of A Wagon Is Its Wheels T h e fin e st w agon in th e w orld w ith a “busted" wheel is of no service. This Spach Wagon Has Given Forty Years Continuous Service. It is still doing service for its owner, Mr. I. G. Collins, of Yadkin County, North Carolina, (whose picture is shown here with the wagon.) Mr. Collins states that he does not expect to buy another wagon during his life, but in's boys will probably need some, and they will surely buy J.' C. Spach Wagons (the kind you can depend on.) IriirtU J. C. SPACH WAGiONS have been made famous by the excellence of their wheel cons truction. Spekes are split with the grain—hand driven—wedged tennon—shoulder fin ish—unsurpassed for strength and durability. ■ The climax of perfect wheel construction is attained bv putting the tire on hot—the good 'old fashioned way—n« damaged wheels from tire'setting machines.' We gaurantee J. C. Spach Wagons, they have been made right for sixty-one years. Look them over at our store. DW1GGINS & GREEN ’ . v I L C Spack Wagon Agents.

When I first beheld your an gelic perfections, I was bewildered and my brain whirled around like a bumble-bee under a glass tumb ler, my eyes stood open like cellar doors in a country town, and I lifted up my ears to catch the sil very accents of your voice. My toDgue refused to wag, and in si lent adoration I drank in the sweet infection of love as a thirsty man swallows a tumbler of hot lemon ade. Since the light of your face fell upou my life, I sometimes feel as if I could lift myself up by my suspenders to the top of the church steeple aud pull the bell rope lor Sunday school. Day and night you are in my thoughts; when Au I ora, blush iDg like a bride, rises from her saffron clouds; wheu the -jaybird pipes its tuneful lay in the apple trees by the spring hoii-t when the chanticleer’s sbiill clar ion heralds the coming morn; when the awakening pigarieetb from his bed and grnnteth and goeth forth for his refreshments; when the drowsy beetle wields his droning flight at sultry noontide aud when the lowing herd cotnes home at milking time. I think of thee, and like a piece of gum elastic, my heart seems sti etched clear across iny bosom. Your hair is like the uiaue of my sort el horse powdereii with gold, and the brass pins skewered through your bair fill me with unutterable a« e. Your fore head is smoother than the elbow of an old coat. \rour eyes are glorious to contemplate in their liquid depths. I behold legious of little cupids bathing like a court of ants in an old army cracker. When your head lays pressed a gaiust my manly breast, the lire of your eyes peuetrales my whole being as a load ci bird shot goes through an old rotten apple. Ybui nose is as peifect as if carved from a chunk of Parian marble, and your mouth is puckered with sweetness. Nectar lingers on youi lips like honey on a bear’s paw, and tnyraids of unfledged kisses are there, ready to fly out and light somewhere, like blue birds out ot their parent’s nests. Ybur laugh rings in mjr ears like harp strings, or the bleat of a Btray lamb on a bleak hillside. The dimples on your cheeks are like bowers in a bed of roses, or hol lows in cakes of home made sugar. I am dying to fly to thy presence, and pour out the burning eloquence of my love, as thrifty housewives pour out hot coffee. When away from you, I ant as melancholy as a sick rat. Sometimes I can hear the June bugs of despondeocy buz zing in my ears and I feel the cold lizzards crawling down my back. Uncouth fears like a thousand min nows, nibble at my spirits, and my soul is pierced with doubt like an old cheese board with skippers, jiply love for you is stronger than the smell of patent butter or the kick of a young cow, and more eel fish than a kitten’s first cater-waul. As a song bird bankers tor the light of day, the cautious mouse after a piece ef bacon in the trap or a.weaned pup longs for milk, so I Idng for jltee.

Cardui is com posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs, and helps build them back to strength and health. It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak, ailing women in its past half century of wonderful success, and it will do the same for you. You can’t make a mistake in taking . The Woman’s Tonic Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark., says: “I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth, for women. Before I began to take Cardui, I was so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything.” Begin taking Cardui today. Sord by all dealers.

The house of representatives is the strong bulwark of popular gov ernment, and our congressm en should be made to shoulder the responsibil ity for progress or depression at borne. This depression is due wholly to the Democratic adm inistration of our affairs, and the previous free trade administrations have all been just the same, but the people have been educated now and they should know how to vote next year. L et there be no mistake in returning a safe m ajor ity to congressmen com m itted to a strong protective tariff, and business will Immediately readjust IbseU to a prosperous basis. W hichever party is In control, either through congress or a tariff commission, will dom inate the question of a hi^h or low tariff, so the best way is to be careful about ail candidates elected in 3916, and know that they are In favx>r of the United States controlling its own busi ness.” The period of uncertainty or strad dle on the tariff question is past. Men who seek nom ination and election in next year's congressional cam paign will have to stand up and be counted as simon-pure protectionists. Sim ilar ly as to the prenidlential ticket.

Tou can figure the tarifi and yon can .figure the trust and you can figure the combination—but you don’t get the right thing on the coet of high living unless you take ia the dead: eat and the delivery system. Tou go to your grocer and look over his books and you will see that from ten to 20 per cent, is loss on the deadbeat who never pays a bill, Hegetsawaywithtbegoode somehow. The Merchants’ As sociation has him marked; the grocer knows he never {fays—but somehow he finally gets on the books and before he is refused fur ther credit be owes anywhere from ten to a hundred dollars. He is going to pay next week. He has all the de luxe hard luck Btories ever dreamed of by mortal man. He has had sickness. He is just going to get a job; he is going to pay the first of the month and wants a little further accommoda tion—and the merchant gives up —and it means the man who pays cash also pays for the deadbeat— or, the merchant goes out of busi ness. The deadbeat means ten per cent, more on your grocer’s bill. It means sometimes more than that, And then comes the delivery business. Tbegrocer must keep two or three delivery wagons. It is either horse feed or gasoiine and a driver. And Mrs. Whatsername rushes to the ’phone and wants a box of matches sent right out—and the five cent box of matches is de livered and it costs 25 cents to de liver it—but Wfaatsername is a good customer and it wouldn’t d i I to turn her down. Then'there is a. I grand rush about Id iu the morb- | iug and extra delivery clerks are called in—and then there is a grand stand still the rest of the day—but the expense goes on. The mer chant must charge this to some account. He must make profit enough on his goods to pay thio terrible CoIi and you can safely figure that the deadbeat and the delivery system costs you $25 on very hundred dollars’ wor- h of goods yon consume—and if that isn’t a pretty heavy toll, what ist But these figures can be verified. Often the merchant doesn’t know it. He hardly ever makes more than a living and sometimes he doesn’t make that in the grocery business. He has another ten per cent, of loss on green goods and fruits and things like that—and by the time the ultimate consumer gets his food he ha9 paid the high prices which modern civilization and modern deadbeaiism demand.

A Case Where Joho Woo. Acolored gentleman was jog ging along on the Southern railway with his large grip sack in front of him, and an officer came into the car while it was yet In South Caro lina, looking for another man, and accidently saw the grip of the un offending colored brother, seized it with consent of the railway con doctor, epened it and found it to contain seven quarts of whiskey. The negro was an inter-state pas senger on his way to Virgina1 and had bought the likker at a legaliz ed dispensary in South Carolina. Thenegro got off at Charlotte and demanded damages which were refused. He sued the company and the magistrate gave him a verdict for the $43 which he claimed. The railway appealed, but it will perhaps lose its case. If it ever gets before a jury in a dry territory —and Charlotte is presumedly dry with, a lingering thirst, the com pany must lose. Imagine a man going clear to Sonth Carolina in order to legally purchase seven quarts of whiskey. Imagine him. seated in an elegant passenger car on an inter-state journey—having a through ticket to Lynchburg —and then imagine a minion of the law rushing in, and without au- thorityseizing “ them seven quarts” and confiscating tham then and there. The negro wag charged with no crime. He wasn’t selling or offering to sell the booze. He was attending to his own business and going to a distant state, and he wanted to practice the “Pre paredness” be Iuul read about. If&pymaBon thaljur^is^uflSr- ing with a sublime thirst and can see id his mind’s eye those seven vials of poison—you know and I know that he will give that nigger a verdict it he stays there nntil the pink and yellow cows are com-, ing home.

Thete can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tortures of an ach- ing back, the' annoyance of urinary dis orders, the pains and dangers of Udney ills will fail to heed the word of a resident of this locality who has found relief.

AUG. 25, 1915 A gentleman remarked a few days ago that it would be dangerons for a man to travel through Georgia. None of that Georgia mob will be captured. At least we don’t believe they will. If they are, they will be turned loose.___________ Leo Frank may have been quilty, he may have deserved to die, but mob law creates lawlessness and should not be tolerated by any state. The South is a good country to live in, even if some of the people go wild sometimes and commit crimes that they are afterwards ashamed of. It would be bad if the Democrats have to put a tariff on sugar to gel the price down. When the tariff was taken off they said sugar would be four cents a pound. Had Leo Frank been a prisoner in North Carolina he would • not have been taken out and hanged by a mob The South is composed of a number of States, some of whom have re peatedly disgraced themselves. Josephus Daniels is outspoken in his condemnation of the mob that lynched Frank last week and the ex- Governor of Georgia says that eveiy man in the mob should be hanged. We notice that the Georgia papers, or part of them, are not saying any thing editorially about the lynching. OTHERS HAVE—WHY NOT THIS ONE? The sentercj of death imposed on Mrs. Warren in Forsyth Superior Court has stated the talk about the execution of women. Some papers assert that never in the history of the State has a woman been legally executed, while others have heard of only one. It may or may not be to our credit, but it is a fact that more than one woman has been executed in the history of North CaroIin t. A woman, whose case is yet discussed, was hanged in Burke county many years ago, for the mu der of her husband. Others have been execut ed since but none within recei t years. The sentiment against capital punishment is strong now and it is Btrong enough to save a woman, no matter how aggravated ,her guilt; and The Landmark expects that sen timent to save Mrs. Warren1--States ville Landmark. [The woman hanged in Burke county was Mrs. Frances Silvers, and the hanging took place on April 12tb, 1833. Mrs. Silvers killed her husband with an axe and afterwards chopped up the body and tried to burn it piecemeal, but was discover ed.—Editor Record.] Part of Rqssiao Army Endangered’. The most sensational event mark inga day of important war develop ments was the sinking by a German submarine of the White Star Liner Arabic, carrying 423 persons, includ ing 26 Americans. The White Star Line reports that the steamer wa? torpedoed without warning. The destruction of the Arabic caused grave concern at Washington. Hu- last American note to Germany on the sinking of the Lusitania gave warning that th e United States would regard as "deliberately un friendly” any act in contravention of the rights of American citizens upon the seas. The Teutonic invaders still are bat taring successfully at the Russian fortresses back of which the Russiat s .were believed to be preparing to mak,ea determined stand. Forces under Field Marshal von Mackensen have-penetrated into the outer posi tions at Brekt-Li fcoysk, strongest of the Muscovite defense works. Two additional forts have fallen at Novo- georjgievsk Aiid the army of General von 'Gallwiti|t;has reached the railway froth Bialystok to Brest-Litovsk. Lj G. Horn has purchased a Hud son automobile.' • American Lives Are Lost. Washington, Aug. 20 —The tension was increased in official quarters to night, when consular messages for warding the affidavits of the Ameri can survivors of the- British liner Arabic brought the definite informa tion that the vessel was torpedoed without warning and that American lives were lost. Eight names now appear on the State Department’s list of American passengers missing. Theconsul at Queenstown tonight added four names. It seemed that but one point remained to be cleared up, namely: whether the Arabic at tempted to ram the submarine or whether a chance of the liner’s course in an attempt to save the British steamer Dunkley from sink ing nearbv was interpreted by the German commander as a hostile ap proach. The attitude of the American gov ernment for the moment is recep tive. awaiting the details and reserv ing judgment as to whether the ac • tion was "deliberately unfriendly.” The final decision rests with Presi dent Wilson. Noofficialstatements are given. The general trend of comment was that the United States has reached the point where it must decide whether to sever diplomatic relations with Germany.' . Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, is expected to ascertain whether Ger many sanctioned th e attack. If Germany offers explanations claim ing qualifying circumstances, such as the Arabic’s attempt to escape or ram the submarine, that will be con strued as a disposition to disavow any intention to deliberately violate the principles for which the United States contends. One Tbooiand Troops Drowned. The Germans seem to have every thing going their way on both land and sea A few days ago the British transport Royal Edwards was tor pedoed and sunk by a German sub marine. About 1.600 soldiers were on the ship and a thousand of them were drowned. Objects to Aid Froa The Ontside. Atlanta. Ga . Aug. 20.-Gov. Nat E. Harris let it be known today that the people of Georgia would resent outside interference or advice in dealing with conditions growing out of the lynching of Leo M. Frank. "The lynching.” he said, "was a crime against the civilization of our State and a blot upon Georgia’s, fair name that cannot be erased. None of us approves of mob violence or lynch law and all of us regret what has happened. I have and will con tinue to exert every power at my command to bring the members of, the mob to justice, J "But if the members of the mob are brought to justice it will be I through the courageous efforts of > Georgia officials and courts, support ed by the sentiment of the citizens of the State and not through the newspaper editorials and resolutions of indignation and offers of rewards coming from other States. "I am afraid these things will only serve to aggravate a situation that already is deeply humilating to our people, and if they continue will eventuate in a great deal moreharm than good by defeating the efforts of the State to apprehend the guilty parties. TheGovernorhas received many telegrams ann lettersduring the past two days urging him to take decisive action. Some Old Coins. M. R. Chaffin, of this city, called around at our shop a few days ago and showed us a big collection of old coins.

Mr. Stone street had been in declining health for some time, and.his most intimate friends were not prepared for the news of his sudden taking away.

Be cause of the lack of wires, railroad traffic was at a standstill to the storm-swept district. Although latest reports indicated that the storm was subsiding in Gal veston, and that the water had start ed. to drain slowly from the streets, there was no prospect that wire com munication might be restored for sevreal days. The wireless equipment on the Buford was the sole means of com munication between Galveston and the .outside world' tonight. The Mc Clellan, companion ship to thfe Bu ford, was reported high and dry, half a mile inland. The greatest damage in Galveston is believed to have occurred in dis tricts fronting the sea. AU buildings on the water front were ruined and vessels caught in the harbor suffered heavily. ANOTHER WAR STORY. Lore Woven in With the Smoke and IHn of the European Battlefield. Cologne, Germany, Aug. 17.—A de ception that began more than six months before the start of the war, and that was successfully practiced until this month, has just been dis covered. It might never have been unearthed if it had not been for the war. In the winter of 1913-14 a local en gineer met and fell in love wiih a woman named Maria Schiedeck. In the hope of interesting the engineer, the woman had posed as a widowed baroness, the daughter of a promi nent German general. When the en gineer a t last proposed marriage his financee could Snd no way of recti fying tiie false impression. On the plea that the gene-al would he. terribly angry to find that his daughter had married beneath her rank, the couple went to London and tbere were married. The engineer on several occasions wrote letters to the general but his wife was able to in tercept each of the messages and to write answers calculated to keep the two apart. Thftn came the war, and, eventual ly, the engineer’s !participation in it. He had never given up hoping that he would some day be able to bring Farms on the coastal plains un~ ] about a meeting and a reconcilation doubtedly suffered severe . damage and many villages in the path of the storm have not been heard from since early yesterday. A t Waco, 200 miles northwest of Galveston, the barometer was falling tonight and a gale was blowing with unabating force. ^This indicated, ac cording to the weather bureau, that the storm center was approaching that part of. the S trib ■ A dispatch from Port Lavaca, Texas, reported the gale still blow ing, at 8 o’clock tonight, the wind coming principally - from the North east but a t times shifting to the West. The only damage reported in th at section was to growing crops. LARGE CHiURCH MEETING. The Lutheran General Council Will Oonveae in September at Daven port, Iowa.

When he received the Iron Cross for bravery recently he decid ed that the proper time had come, and oncc more wrote the general to tell him of the distinction. This letter the general did get, -n<r this time the engineer got a genuine answer, in which the officer angrily and very decidedly disavowed any daughter or any son-in-law. The deeply disappointed engineer could not find it in Ius heart to forgive bis wife, bnt instead bad her arrested on a forgery charge which has just re sulted in her being sentenced to pris on for 18 months.

Take no more sick ening, salivating calomel when bilious or constipated. Don’t lose a day's work! Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of tlie bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile crashes into it, breaking it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are slug gish and “all knocked out,” if your liver is torpid* and bowels constipated or you have headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is baa or stomach sour just take a spoonful of harmless Dod- son’s Liver Tone on my guarantee. . Here’s my guarantee—Go to any drug store and get a 50 cent bottle of Dod son’s Liver Tone. Take a spoonful to night and if it doesn’t straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous by morning 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: entirely vegetable, therefore it can not salivate or make you sick. I guarantee that one spoonful of Dod son’s’ Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and ciean 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.

S i I OBSERVE THE WARNING—DON’T INVITE THIS FATE. Washington, D. C.—The> following letter has been addressed to the pub lic by Mr. Fairfax Harrison, president of Sonthern Railway Comgpany: “The automobile has Jgreatly In creased the comfort and convenience of life, and it has been an important factor in the improvement of country highways and so has contributed to the progress of civilization of our time, but, just as the nailroad did when it revolutionized commerce, the autdthobile has introduced; new social complications and new, riefts, moral as well as physical. “The American petfple are said to be characteristically reckless of Iiu- man life, and perhaps im nothing Is this statement, more justified at the moment than/in relation to ttos use of automobiles-^-not even tine railroads. My particular Interest In the ques tion Is, whf 3re my public responsibility lies, in ttta combination of the, two— in the accidents which occur t o auto- Jnobile^ and their occupants Tfliere highways cross railways a t gradis: and this if. a question of sufficient iiapo^t- ftkoa'ta 1Warramt the attention of (every tb&kiag man in the South. Record For One Vear "The following table shows thej ap-' palling, record of such • accidents on lines operated by Southern Rallfl'ay Company in the South during the yt^ar ended June 30, 1915. ®SI i 3SV M f i t I l -§ si Alabama .......Seorgla...................North Carolina____Soutb OaroUna____Tennessee ...........Virginia------------- Total.. 10 • O62.27 fi 2114217frO87ZI 69 12 63 *11457 “Without seeking to/aTOid just re sponsibility for what ;the officers or' employees of the railroad do or omit, but recalling that a railroad employee whose carelessness ,-causes an acci dent is, in the public ,interest, subject to discipline which alftects his liveli hood, it is probably fair to say tl» t a large proportion of these accidents happened solely through the careless ness Of1 the drivers of automobiles, or their lack of expeifence in dealing with vehicles at high speed. T.liere are among them also well authenticat ed cases of deliberate assumption i «t risk by the drivers of automobiles from pure love of excitement ttnd speed, evidenced by racing with trains and seeking the thrill of a narrow jes- cape. Our enginemen report such oc currences dally. If fortunately they are without fatal consequences In the great majority of cases, they are «1- ways paid for by a hea-vy strain xm the nerves of all concerned, particu larly those of the locomotive engine* !ri who maintains speed fuom duty &id not for fun. It is not too much 'to claim for the locomotive engineer A larger equipment of experience nnd a greater habit of precaution than the ' average automobile driven.. As a class the locomotive engineers are sober, steady and conservative! men of Ipng experieuce in meeting and avoid Ing risks, for theirs is a dangjerous o< :cu- pation. Their every effort of charac ter, of instruction and of Interest is to avoid an accident. M,ost of the in cidents to automobiles^ at railway grade crossings could, Jbe avoided If there was the same restraint of ex perience and attention at th<» viheel of the automobiie as *at the ^tftrottie of the locomotive. J1 PubiicVItaIIy lnterested "It does not suffice the pettttc Vn any moral simse that the fund madt* up of the revenues collacted b;<- tl te railroad Is usually ajade to rertp oi »1 In damages .for, consuj^ueKces o f 't uch accidents.. Suicide to collect IifW in surance !ips never boen deemed I ion- orable, while no one would dellha son or brother for money; on the othet hand, the collection of damages ou< of railroad revenues, as a punishment for an avoidable accident, when there can be no real compensation, is an economic waste; it punishes the pub lie more than it punishes the stock holders, as it deprives the public by exactly the amount of the damages of the ability of the railroad to pro vide additional permanent facilities for the use or convenience and safety of the public. Given the progressive policy of Southern Railway Company to make such improvements to the extent of its ability, it is :of interest to' note that, in the last year a divi dend was paid by the Company,' 3.80 cents of every dollar of revenue col lected from the public went In pay ment of damages of all kinds, prac tically the same amount, 3.88 cents, went to the stockholders, while only thirteen-hundredths of one cent - oi each dollar of revenue could be ap plied on permanent improvements Such other improvements as were made were necessarily charged to new capital, thereby increasing the de sands on the fund in which the pub lie has so vital an interest. It would be the pleasure of the management always to apply as much of the rev enues on permanent improvements as on dividends, if that was possible There is, then, a basis of interest a; well as of morals for co-operation be tween the public and the railroadB tc prevent the recurrence of these trag edies. “With a deep sense of the respon isibility of management In this mat ter and pledging this Company to dc everything in its power which is rea sonable and consistent with the func tions for which it was chartered, I ap ,peal to the public generally for such co-operation in avoiding these serious and distressing accidents. In practical Jy all cases they can be, and in most eases are, readily and easily avoided by the automobile driver acting upon the familiar warning to stop, look and listen at railway crossings. While 1’amiliarity with the crossing sign- pi^sts and the regular schedules oi trains may breed contempt of danger, surely every one of us when using a higHf*,ay can afford to sacrifice enough of his'.time and his pride of opinion to have1 a practical assurance of safe ty. On the other hand, the demands of commerce and of public transpor tation do nx>t permit a railroad to stop all Its trains; At all highway crossings: if that was possible it would be cheap ^r for the railroad ,to do so than tc p.«y the damages. It is clear, however, th.^t it is necessary that one or the OthW of the parties to a crossing shall stop Jf the largest measure of protec tion <91T life and limb and property is to be lpecured. If not. from self-inter- est, can not the automobile drivei yield tile precedence as a matter oi courtesy to age, for the railroad Ii older than'the automobile! Eliminating Grade Cromtngs The ideal 'of safety will be accom plished oidy wftep all grade crossings of railroads are separated. In this respect Southern Railway Company is doing something every year and as mvicti as its resources and other obli gate tis make possible: indeed, it may be claimed that the Company is, speaking generally, making progress more r.tpidly than most municipalities which h ^ve an.obligation In the prem ises: but'" by-cooperation of munici palities and railroads many dangerous crossings have - been elim inate throughout -jibe! South, and more will be every yetttA Furthermore, on eVery bit of construction work ot Southern Railway Company now in progress,- oi recently completed,; Involving the re location or doable' tracking of Une (nearly tour million; dollan Jias been spent ,on such work during the past year), proviston has been made at large additional expense to separate• _----* •■•!••v j*w uuw. nrvuiu UBin^ jt.6* . _ . W »*U th i Jjgji o£ja mother ot^.fU Seiiall important highway crossings o tto *■- revised line, wherever physically phi* ticable, and this policy will be contin ued for the ftiture. “Given the history of our transport tation and highway systems and the enormous cost ot adjusting them to modem conditions, the elimination of grade crossings is and in the very nature of the problem must be a grad ual development with the growth ot population and wealth, but, meanwhile^ good judgment on the part of all con cerned can do much to anticipate the benefits ot the admittedly desirable expenditure of large sums of money. Th* same sober sense of responsibil ity for life on the part of automobile drivers which actuates most locomo tive engineers, and in addition the willingness ot the automobile driver in such a high interest to subordinate his time and convenience to that ot the greater number represented by a railroad train, can check a waste ot life and limb and property which is now increasing every year. “Te this end I appeal confidently for the counsel of every responsible man and woman in the South, whether or net he or she drives an automobile. Words of caution and common sense around the family dinner table can have more influence and can save more lives at railway grade crossings than all the warning whistles ever blown by a -locomotive engineer."
