VOLUMN XVII.MOCKSVDJLE. NORTH CAROUNA. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 2. 1916 NUMBER 29 The Dead Was Brougbt to Life. Heck Smart, in Bessimer City Journal. • Over in McDowell eounty lived some of t he greatest characters ever kuoivn to mankind. Peter Epley, a sort of a Jack ot alt trades, a justice of the peace, and general l,.ulliy man abopt the neighbor hood, was among the leading citi jrens. If there was a wedding, Pe ter tied the knot; a village affray or soil uction case, he iueted out justice to state and defendants, and at a funeral, he did equally well as chief mourner or undertaker. No fuuetiou, grave or gay, was com plete unless he was the bright and particular star. If invited he was Hire to be there in all of his radiant glory—if uot invited, be just hap pened around—but, when on the ground, he always could be found at the head ol' the procession, His presence often caused contusion, not to say erabarassment. . Oae particular occasion is recalled. It 'was near the close of the civil war. He and a man named Bruce were detailed to hunt and arrest desert era and lnru them over to the mil itary authorities. •‘Among tbd. fellows, who went from MeDoweli to the army in Virginia was an old chap by the name of Isham Crontz. who lived back iu the hills, in-the Gladies or Glades, a barren, washed out stretch of country full of gullies you could bury a horse in, where the timber was thin and scrubby, and the soil very poor. 1Tsham Crontz. as tail as a sleek pole and thin as a rail, could hot tell whether be had the colic "or the backache as a pain struck-him about between the soles of bis feet and the crown of his head, and ugly—by gad—he was as ugly as a mud fence. Be had the wboppen- jst loot I ever saw on mortal man. Kick me if it wasn’t as large as three ordinary feet. I guess the way numbers run nowadays Isbam would have taken about a 21— three times sev.ep. .... ,-.a : ‘ The army quartermasters could not shoe lsham. His foot, they said, would uot go in the box much less the shoe. 'Procuring the Iarg cat be could find he would cut - off the end, ruu his foot through and wrap and tie his extended fooi and sitting in front of the court house door, the best place in those days to meet people from the hack country and get the news, when dhade Hawkins rode up on his mule, and after passing the time of day with the loafers, declared: •Well, fellers I hear old Isham Crontz is dead, and is going to be put away tomorrow afternoon.’ •‘This bit of information gave the rustic philosophers a new topic for discussion. They picked this remains of poor old. Isham clean,- and after tnorougbly considering his merits and demerits, all agreed the luck was with him, for it was better to die a natural'death than be hung for deserting. The chair , warmers dispersed, each going his way, Pete Epley, ready for a frolic or a funeral, hunted up Wash and Br'uce Freeman and told them of the sudden end of lsham ami insisted th at/ while the old man wa9 worthless and-a deserter, his record in battle warranted, a decent burial; at the hands of bis comrades and finally prevailed up on' them to go to the. funeral. .‘•The next day when they ar rived they found the old- veteran laid out ou the cooling board- two wide planks, their ends rest ihg on chairs. Stretched out full length he loaked like a skinned giraffe. His face.was dirty ,and covered with a six months’ growth ^f beard; His big, bony cose, great lantern jaws aud sunken eyes gave him every appearance of a corpse that had been there for a B eek. After viewing the 'remains hastily, Peter called Wash and Bruce out of the cabin and 'sug gested that they take charge, and shave and bathe the old man and prepare him properly for the grave. The idea was accepted and Pete volunteered to be master of the ceremonies. “ Returning to the room Peter notified the old woman and the gals of his purpose and requested a razor. The weeping widow be tween sobs and Whiffles, eomman<f- ed the daughters to hunt their daddy’s razor. Having ransacked the house inside and out, ' one ot the gals brought from a shelf in the back porch an old time razor, with heavy back, thick blade, ---------------- rusty and dull, and wiih which, toes in rags. Trouble followed. I judging from the dried lather and Wteuthe weather began to get i bristles on its edge, someone had cold, aud frost to fall and bite Istaui’s toes, he iuvaiiably sneak ed off to the mountains where be kept cooteaied in the brush abont his home until he was driven back to the army. God only knows what he went home for, for lived in one of them little old ctbins, with thecbiukio and doub in kuocked out, and cracks that vnn could throw a dog thru. You could set before his tire and tee daylight at the top .of the chimney which was not as tall as lsham. The inside of the hut was dark and smoky; the only light admitted was thru the holes in the ' walls, ihe chimney and the tiny doorway. The ceiling, or loft was so low that no intniber of the family could stand erect beneath it. When lsham, the old woman and the three gals stood up and moved about, one was reminded of a pro cession of lean, lank ghosts—the "ile and daughters being as tall aad spare built as he. ‘‘lsham deserted the third time, which time called for the death penalty, it was noised around that the old man had returned to McDowell, where it was the duty «f Wash and Bruce Freeman to arrest him. But, believing that lsham did not fully realize the se 1 !on;ness of the crime and the ex fret oi punishment, and knowing the fearful privations and suffering the soldiers were undergoing about Jliat time, they did not have the heart to rnn the deserter down. The truth is, they did not blame the old man for laying out. ‘'In battle, strange to say, lsham Was brave and fought biavely ou faanv battlefields, but just as soon 88 the frost nipped his heels he set oat for home. r ‘‘I'Toally, this time, everybody 8°t to talkiug about Ishatn’s de jection aud Wash sent him word fkat he would have to take hint! 'Der or later, Isbam and hia old Woman knew, the. officers would got him. a. plan to have him die as devised by Mrs. Crontz and o l f 1*. toiukiug ^B tiw ih ete ui the town or anybody in au .0JItJr anywhere would Anquire an'ularlJr about hia dea|fi.

Peter next called tor soap. ‘•Iu them 'days country soap was made from grease and lye. The ash hopper has passed out of com moii use now, and I rarely ever he: see one. How strong that soap log J was! Itwould move dire, hair, hide and all, and if you got adrop of it in your eyes, my how it smarted! ' _ “The soap gourd—another thing that is scarce now, was brought, and some water in a pan and Pete made a thick brown Iafher. enough to do a week’s washing—and smeared it ad over Isham’s face and head. This done he seized the razor, ran it up and down his brogan shoe a time or two, and tenderly taking one ear of the corpse in his left hand, he. made one long, firm swipe downward, iiprootiug whiskers and breaking skin as he went. “ As quick as'a flash old Isbam drew himself bolt upright, and yelled: ‘Hell fire!’ “The old woman screamed and fell in a fit, the gals fainted, and Pete Epley dropped on his knees as pale as a ghost, aod exclaimed: ‘Isbam I thought you were dead!’ 'Jo tliis the old chap replied: ‘By gad I was dead but that duroed old razor would bring a man to life if he had been buried four years. I am willing to go back to the war and fight forever but I’ll just swear that I can’t stand that lye soap and that razor ’ “Many times I’ve heard the boys after old lsham, reminding him that if it hadn’t been for Peter Epley’s faculty for being handy at ail hours and all places he might never have been raised from the dead.” Wisdom comes with years. Tl e older a man grows, the more be realizes how young he once was.

The growth among our people of the habit of saving, laying aside part of one’s earnings—is mostly gratify ing and the banks are encouraging the practice by boosting it. The building and loan associations were the first to encourage this savings habit in the South. Their help, is mainly through making loans and the service they render in this way cannot be estimated. Any common* ity withouta building andloanasi ciation is badly behind Statesville has two prosperous associations and through their he!D hundreds of peo ple have been able to j own homes and other property they could not have owned without this help. Then the - banks added savings. depart ments, encouraging small deposits on which interest is paid. AU the Statesville banks have savings de- partments and the yearly deposits in these are considerable. Recently the Christmas savings dub plan is' being featured and it has boosted the savings habit materially. The idea of beginning, the first of the year, to save money to spend at Christmas appeals to many who would not save otherwise; and Uie habit once begun, the accumulation appeals to many, by no means all the money is spent at Christmas and the savings habit grows. The Record has contributed much space begging the citizens of the town to organize a building and loan association, but our pleadings have been in vain to far. Keeping History Straifht An inquisitive subscriber writes The Rascal Whipper, asking if it be true, that Professor Woodrow Wil* ton had ever applied to Andrew Car nOgie for a pension. To.be sure! In order toat be might fUft jlto r and leave this world untramelled with a load of jll gotten wealth he had accumulated through the sweat and toil of underpaid labor, Garnefrie established a pension fund, for the support of aged and superannuated ministers and schoolteachers. Woodrow Wilson, then president of Princeton University, was among the first to make application to have his name entered upon the roll of pensioners. Carnegierejected the anplication, advising Mr. Wilson that the fund was created solely for the benefit of those ministers and teachers whose age or infirmities rendered them in capable of further pursuing Uie ac tive duties of their callidg; and that, as he (Wilson) was still in the prime of life, and mentally and physically able to continue his duties, as he was then doing.he (Wilson) was ineligible to participate in the distribution of the charitable largess. That closed the incident; and then, through (the grace of the Democratic party and the unfortdnate dissen sions among the Republicans of the Nation, said Woodrow Wilson be came President of the great and glorious United States, and the peo pie assumed the burden of support ing him. which Carnegie refused to do.—Only this, and nothing more.— Rascal whipper.

The Stand is covered with orna mental tin and the legs are of the same material. In the center of the table sets a lamp stand made of artistically arranged strips of tin. J Oa the stand is a lamp made entirely of tin by Mr. Weant and trimmed in the same material as the table.•- __My. Weant has made on the same style a number of smaller ta- bles ignd eaeh one is decorated in a dim itotN y te u I tw isttd stripe. One of the smaller tables is made so. that when the light shines on it tbe trimmings resemble hundieds of brilliant diamonds. Another table is made of plain tin with foiled tip legs. Every bit of tbe soldering was done by Mr. Weant, aided by bis wife and daughter, who held lamps for him at night. Eicb piece of lrimmiog isattacbed to the tables with solder so that it can hardly be detected. ^ A coffee pot made en tire)^ by Mr. Weant and trimmed in the same ornamental trimmings as the tables is especially admired by all who see it. A prettily arranged lid covers tbe top, while a hinged knob fits over the spout. A vase is made on tbe same style. Picture frames and other things in the room were made exclusively by Mr. Weant. A beautiful, brilliant effect is created when the sun shines thru the windows on the artistically curved and twisted tin ornaments. Mr. W eant has invented two in fants’ cribs that are looked upon with wonder by all who see them. One is made of tin twisted with rosin on the inside and then sol dered. Mr^ U eant says that it was necessary to use the rosin to keep a uniform shape. The rock ers are made of soldered tin, also. The tiu rods,'m ade as abo/e de scribed, are soldered together iu hundreds of different shapes which form ihe body of tbe crib. .

There are col lectors of relics, freaks, etc., that would pay fancy priees for any of the articles which Mr. W eart has iu his home aud described in • the above article. Probably there are a few who do not know that tbe father -and mother of the pioneer, Daniel Boone, are buried in tbe old Joppa graveyard two miles north of Moeksville. It was the privilege of a Sentinel man to view the old tombstones now in the vault of the Bank of Davie, in Mocksville. The following inscriptions appear on tbe stones: “Squire Boone de parted this life in the sixty-uiuth year of his age, in the year of onr Lord, 1765, January tbe second.” The inscription on Mrs. Boone’s tombstone reads as follows:- “S H. Boone depaited this life, 1777, aged 77 years.” Both tombstones bear marks where relic collectors have knocked off pieces, and it be came necessary in order to preserve them to place them in the vault of the bank. The stones are cat ved ont of koapstone. As soon as the community build ing can be completed a museum will be started and these stones be placed In it. Every persou who have interesting relics will be asked to place them in tbe museum, where they wiU be safely cared for aud will be inteiestiug for the public to look at. A Boone highway is being built from a point in Kentucky over the trail followed by Daniel Boone when be left this section on account of its being too crowded for him.

A presS dispatch from Washing' ton states that President Wilson has been considerably embarrassed for the past year, and during the last three weeks especially by a group of negro politicians headed by Bish op Alexander Walters of the A. M. E. church, president of the Negro Democratic League, who have de manded that the President keep al leged promises made before his elec tion that he would be rather libeial in the appointment of negroes to Federal offices. Before his election Mr. Wilson, ip writing the colored brother; started out thusly: ‘ My dear Bishop Walters.” Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, is determ ined that a negro shall not be ap pointed Register of Deeds of the District of Columbia. It is up to Mr Wilson. For fear some of our Democratic friends should doubt this, we refer them to the Winston - Journal of Jan. 26th. If it is a lie it must be a Democratic white lie. We hope our Democratic brethren will refrain from yelling ‘ Nigger” during the approaching campaign. THOMAS BRAXTON BAILEY. In the death of Hon. T. B. Bailey, which occurred at his home in this city last Tuesday, both the town and county ldses one of their best known men from a business and religious standpoint. Mr, Dailey was a native of the town and spent practically all of his life here. He wasone of the most prominent lawyers in the State and was connected with a number of Mocksvilfe’s enterprises. At the time of his death he was President of the Bank of Davie; Vice-President of the Bank of Yadkin; President of the Mocksville Furniture Co ; Attor ney for the Southern Railroad; a di rector of the Wachovia Bank & TrustGo., of Winston-Salem. Mr. Bailey was for many years an elder in the Presbyterian church, and was a loyal church worker. He was a prominent Mason, and held many offices of trust during his life. He will be sadly missed in the home, in business and church circles, and his place will be hard to fill. The town and county mourns his death. A Tribate to Mr. T. B, Bailey. . The Winston. Sentinel, in speaking of the deatlrof Mr. T. B. Bailey, of this city, which occurred last Tues day, had the following tosay:. , “ Winston Salem received the an nouncement 6f the death ' of Mr. Bailey, this morning with keenest re gret. He was wall known in . this city and highly esteemed by. the members of the Winston-SaJenL Bar.Association He numbered his friends also among the local Masons by the scores, and the members of the Or der throughout the Piedmont: sec tion will learn of his death with deepest sorrow. There was no more loyal Mason in this section than Mr. Thomas Braxton Bailey, knd it was through his efforts that the annual picnic'in the interest of the Masonic Orphanage at Oxford, held at Mocks ville each year, has been fostered and developed as a great- social and beneficent enterprise, He was always deeply interested in the cause of higher education, and since’the death of his two daugh ters at the State Normal years ago he had devoted much of his energy to the promotion of that institution, of which he was a director. It was largely thru his efforts that a part of the. proceeds from 'tbe_ annual Masonic picnic at Mocksville is now being used to defray the expenses of two of the Oxford girls in a course: at the State Normal. In ad dition to this he had kept two other, young ladies in school- there at his personal expense. Modest in his movements, He has accomplished much for the young people of his earnest preaching. great political honors for these arc successes that men of ignoble minds, devoid of souls can Win. He was that greater success that comes'from a pure and lofty soul and a broad mind that scorns the mean and little things of this life. An affectionate and devoted husband and father; a staunch and steadfast friend, a true, noble manl] man. Peace to his ashes and everlasting rest to his Soul. EH. MORRIS. Mocksville. N.

The services were very simple, con sisting of songs, reading of scripture and prayer, it being the desire of the family in conformity to Mr. Bail ey’s well known wishes that no eu logy be pronounced. Whileno eulogy was spoken by man, still there was an eulogy: more eloauent than could have been pro nounced by the most’ gifted orator The ,floral tributes attested his wide popularity, but the silent, grieved faces of that vast concourse of peo ple spoke more eloquently of the man that was gone, than the tongue of the greatest orator could have spoken. There were people there from every nook and corner of Da vie county. There were people there from the surrounding counties and from distant counties. Every class of society was represented.

So this year, on Flre Prevention Day, a move* ment Is to be started In Massachusetts to’ make every, child while lit the schools of the State safe from danger from Are. Arrangements are now be* Ing made for .a meeting In Faneull Hall, at which 'the best experts will be Invited to take part In the discus sion of various problems to be solved In making schools safe1—removal of structural defects,' installation of au tomatic sprinkler protection, adminis tration, cost. Men., of Influence are atandlng - behind the movement. It will - be ardently supported by Flre Preveittlon Commissioner O'Keefe of the Mistropolltan District of Boston, who has already succeeded In so thoroughly convincing the property owners of Greater Boston of the nec essity for better Are protection, that r the* total number of sprinkler equip ments ordered and installed In his district this year Is several times greater than the numbar ordered and installed In Chicago during the same period!. The National Fire Preven tion Association will help In the move ment. Its success.is assured from the start. In fact, already, throughout the state, the schools are being carefully Inspected by the local authorities. The AlMervance of Fir* Prevention Day In Massachusetts will this year be no empty form. To quote the governor’s proclamation, "It would be a sacrilege •van to compare the loss of millions of wealth with the loss of precious lives. But as life is seldom lost In lire, ex cept its property burns, it becomes our solemn obligation to protect property that lives may be saved.”—The Stand ard.

EXAMINE YOUR POLICY The fire insurance business—or at least Che method of arriving at the final' result ratet—is probably less understood 1 and appreciated by the average citizen than , any other busi ness with Which he comes In contact, for. the reason that, until his Iosv occurs, fie feels that he is paying for something which he does not receive.

GASOLINE, NAPHTHA and other volatile oils should not be kept in buildings. GAS BRACKETS should have rigid fixtures; where nec essary to use swinging brackets all exposed woodwork should be protected with sheet metal, leaving an air space. Metal bells should be placed over gas jets on low ceilings. STEAM PIPES should be kept clear from all wood Mid other combustible material. OPENii FLTJE HOLES should be protected with sheet iron or, better^ he bricked up. ELECTRICITY, when improperly installed, is hazardous; lamp cords should not be hung on nails or wrapped around any piping; paper shades should never be used. Confer with your City ElectricOin when changes are contemplated. Bo not allow employees'to tamper with electrical installations. STOVEPIPES should be run direct to brick chimneys and never through floors or partitions; protect floors under and about stoves with brick, ,cement, or sheet metal. STAIRWAYS should be kept closed and clear at all times; never place any stock or shelving thereon. AISLES OF GOOD WIDTH should be maintained at all times; never pile stock in front of windows or against doors, as it handicaps the firemen in case of fire. FIBE DOOBS AND SHUTTERS should be closed every night, and istock should never be placed so as to hinder the ready closing of these fire stops. SEE THAT ALL FIBE EXTINGUISHING APPARATUS is in good working order. DAMP, LAMPBLACK will spontaneously ignite. Sd will slack and pulverize coal and charcoal when wet. NEVER USE PARLOB MATCHES; always the safety .match; they cost no more. \ BEQTEDffiING ALL DOOBS TO SWING OUTWARD, especially in public buildings, may prevent the loss of jnany lives.

HIIE HIHSlE IS M I H T l n i l * Several States Have Realized Enormous Destruction by Fire and Established Legislation to Prevent Some of Waste . The fire waste throughout the coun try is attracting more attention t&an ever before, and several states have shown a disposition to recognize Ute principle that the enormous destruc tion of property annually is an eco nomic waste ot the country's resources with the result that they hare ex pressed a decided sentiment In favor of establishing special, legislation, which will tend toward greater conser vation, and are abandoning their for mer attitude of assuming that as long as property is insured there is no loss. In the face of facts, the attitude mentioned is absolutely erroneous, and it can be corP9ctel by the educa tion of the public, starting with the children, whose receptive minds are open to instruction In the' saving of life, which is of the most importance^, and the preservation of property. Let people know the full danger of fire chargeable, annually to carelessness through the thoughtless handling of matches, the storage, and handling ot gasoline, oil, fireworks and explosives.

Once in a while somebody gets the idea that the reason the local paper does not report every ocan- dal that comes to public knowledge is because the publisher is afraid That’s not the reason. The reput able newspaper, especially In a. small town, where every one 16 a neighbor to every one else, takes no delight in giving publicity to those things that have brought disgrace to .some family or heart- a he to some wife or mother. It is much more pleasant to record the good things that happen, to tell about tbe incidents that tend to make life more endurable and that uplift rather than tear down, that bring joy instead of sorrow, pride instead of heartache.

Washington, Feb. 3.—The ques tion that has been-uppermost in the minds of almost all the members of Congress since President. Wilson started for the West a week ago on his speech-making tour bv which he sought to place his preparedness program more clearly before the American people is; “ Has the sen- tsment for preparedness, along the lines of the .. President’s, program, been materially strengthened, or has it lost ground?” The answer to this question as indicated by placing it “up to” a large number of the Con gressmen today is that Congress to day occupies jnst about the exact ground on the question that it did before the President started on his trip.It has been estimated that 100,- OOO people heard the President dur ing his whfrlwind trip through the West. ■' Atl effort is being made to have him speak in the South in tbe near future.

Did Mocksville entertain four bur glars last Tuehday night? is tbe ques tion that several of our citizens are worrying over. Charlie Brown, who serves things hot and cold at the SouthernLunch Boom, near San ford’s Garage, is pretty sure of the burglars; while the gentlemen who guarded the pbstoffice half the long, rainy night, with guns hugged tight in their fond embrace, are perhaps inclined to think it was . only the groundhog taking an early start. Bat let us tell the tale as ’twas told to us. About 11 o’clock last Tues day night four strangers arrived in town in an auto and went to the home of Charlie Brown, near the depot, had him to get upandaccom pany them to his cafe near the pub lic square. Arriving there Charlie was made to hustle around and pre pare them something to satisfy: the inner man. {After the feast was over the strangers insisted that Charlie show them where the postoifice and the two banks were located. This Charlie reluctantly did. About this time Charlie managed to elude his guests and hiked through a back lot winding up breathless at the tele phone office... Instead of knocking, he fell through the door, tearing his coat half off. The alarm was given and Deputy Harbin, together with Sheriff Sprinkle, H. C. Meroney and Roy Holthouseir, went to the court house,where they remained on guard until morning, but no burglars made their appearance. The Btrangers paid Charlie for their, supper, and he insists that they .had large " ’guns Tuesday night was pow’ful rainy, to say the least. TWO POINTED PARAGRAPHS. T herearea fewpapers in North Carolina that arenotafraid to say what- they, think, and The Record is always glad to run up against them The following pert paragraphs were taken from Charity and Children, an outspoken weekly run by a blockade preacher: “If we can stand two Catholics ort the Supreme court bench we ought to be able to stand one -Jew.” “Tremendous pressure, is being, brought to bear on the Governor .to save the Warren woman' from the electric chair; but if she escapes, her guilty partner in crime ought to escape too,” The Record has contended all the. time that the Warren woman Was more to blame for the Muddy Creek murder than Christy, and Governor Crarg cannot afford to spare the life of one and take the' life of the other. Sam Christy is a better man than > Ida Bail Warren is a woman. Many appeals are being made through the Winston daily papers for the life of Ida Warren to be spared, but never a word for poor old Christy. ■ If one has to be spared, then spare both and abolish forever the electric chair in the Old North State.

V Pusng of Dr. Tyre Yoric Elkin, Jan. 31?—Dr. Tyre York died at his home! near Trap Hill Sat urday morning, Jan. 29th, after a long and painful illness. He had been in poor health for the past three or four years and for the last six months he had hardly be$n able to leave his home. Amonthago he was taken with grip, which in a short time developed into pneumonia .which, in his weakened bodily con dition found him an easy prey to its {{ravages. He had. lived out the four score years of life alloted to man, being in his eighty-third year when the death anget called his spirit to give up this Jifd of toil and cares. . Dr. York Wag a man of strong convictions, and when he espoused a cafise, he entered into it with all bis might and force. In early life he was an uncompromising Democrat. He represented Wilkescountv in the legislature several terms when the county was overwhelmingly Republi can. When the State held the first prohibition election some 35 years ago, he espoused the anti-prohibit ion cause, and in the following con gressional convention was nominated for congress by the Republican par ty and with the help of the disgrun tled Democrats was elected, defeat ing Maj. W. W. Robbins, of Iredell, by a very large majority. He. how ever; did not. claim to be a Republi- can. but an anti-prohibition Demo crat. But the Republicans went a- head and nominated him for gover- nor-against Hon. A. M. Scales. On “Jack,” his old bay mule, with old- fashioned saddlebags, he canvassed tbe State, but was defeated by a very large majority. This was .the death blow! to his political life. As a friend and neighbor his heart was fulj of tne milk of kindness. He turned no one away from his door who was in need, and in him the poor hada friend indeed.' Whenhe was called to a sick-patient he went without question ,,many times know ing that he would receive no recom pense. . .

You say you "already carry all you can pay for”—you “don’t want to cramp youiaelf*—you “don’t want to keep yourself poor paying premiums.” Really, you are covering only a part of the ground. It isn't simply a question of how much you can live on or how much you can lay by each year. There is the more important question of how much your family could live upon if you, the bread-winner, were suddenly taken away. They will get alobg all right while you live. They would manage to subsist somehow, even if your income were cut in two. Would they have as much as that if you were taken away? Would they ImveauythingetaII?Hereis thequestionfor evetytrae man to consider: “How much must my wife^and children have to enable them to live in simple comfort when I am no longer here to provide£for them?

FEBRUARY 16. 1916 NUMBER 31 Heard at The National Capitol. Spciial to The Davie Record. Washington, Feb. 10,—'-We are ready to go into the elections in In diana, today,” said a member of Congress from that state to a group of Kopublican associates "I do not have the slightest doubt but that we could carry the state. There is much criticism of the present administra tion ami the people of my district and the state do not hesitate to say’ that it has failed to make good. The Republicans are united and cheerful and victory was never more promis jug than it is'at present. If condit- i„ns continue as they.are today and there seems no reason why they will not, then as far as our state is concerned, it is all over but the shouting.” • The trouble with our party/' said a Democratic member from one of the northern states, “is that we have been listening to false proph ets. We have followed the radicals to extremes while in reality the peo ple have been turning to saneness and conservatism. On the matter of the tariff, if we had made a mild and a sensible revision of the tariff, instead of ripping this industrial statute to pieces, we would have es caped the frightful condition with which we are confronted todav with’ no money available for meeting the running expenses of the govern ment. Instead of stamp taxes and other burdens levied directly on the people, if we had displayed judg ment. we could have everted them. With all our frantic efforts we have not kept in touch with the people and I regret to say our blunders are costing us the confidence of the pub lic. Everybody knows what this means in politics. "Things are breaking mighty bad ly with us,” said a western .Demo cratic Congressman^Hv—t ha Hauaa lobby. "Especially is this true on the matter of revenue. The tre- mendous decrease in impoff~auties was greater than we estimated it would be. Then we did not get anywhere near what we figured we would from the receipt of income taxes, and then on top of this we find, owing to the falling off in re venue of $11,000,000 during the past year on the sale of malt and spiritu ous liquor, on account of less con sumption of the same, that we are also short this vast sum. This mere ly shows that we are getting it both going and coming so far as revenues are concerned.” “ The speech of Senator Newlands, Democrat, of Nevada, in the United States Senate a few days ago, in which he virtually predicted disaster to his party in the elections of No vember uext, simply illustrates what are the views of many members of Congress of his own party and which they in private conversation freely express,” said a prominent Republi can Representative in the lobby of the House. ' ‘Senator Newlands was right when he states that Democracy ba3 only one well worn asset -left and that is the oft used expression: ‘ The President has kept us. out of war.’ Even this Democratic slogan has ceased to be music to the peo ple. The idea in itself is too absurd, for the dilly dallying and hesitating policy of the present administration has only tended to widen the breach and to destroy confidence in Ameri can diplomacy. W ehavereallybeen much nearer war by this constant backing and filling by the Wilson administration, than we would have been had we adopted a definite, firm positive and patriotic American pol icy. With a financial policy that has ymolied the treasury and fiscal pol icy that has curtailed and crippled industry, it is little wonder our po litical opponents are getting some what nervous as election approaches.

In the recent reports coming from Chicago that, the Progressives will not nominate a candidate for the next presidential election and the sug gestion that they may join in select ing the Republican candidate. Con gressman C. Bascom Slemp. of the Ninth Virginia district, sees the strongest assurance that a Republi can President will be elected next fall to succeed President Wilson. “The only possible interpretation of action of Progressives of Chicago is amalgamation with the Republican party,” said Mr. Slemp in discussing the matter today. There will be only one candidate at the November election to oppose President Wilson; that is, provided of course, that the Democrats under Bryan do not de feat him for the namination. ‘‘My judgement is that the Repub licans all over the United States will gather in Chicago with their hats off, in a spirit of patriotism, and select a man who will lead in restoring the United States to a position of honor among the nations of the world. “I think that the people -of this country feel that the Democrats have proven totally inefficient to handle the affairs of the government. They have involved us in debt. American citizens are being murdered on both land and sea with no suggestion made regarding them, except an implied criticism against those who feel it tbeir duty or business to leave home. "Some Democrats are pretending t > claim credit for what prosperity we now have. This has been most aptly designated as ‘blood-soaked prosperity.’ “In Southwest Virginia the iron furnaces are in' the main running, but they are running to make bul lets.

So far as we know the banks in this part of the state are obey- iug the law. Usurious rates of in terest are not charged anybody rich or poor. We are glad.to say this in behalf of the Piedmont bunks. We hope M r. W illiams w ill. be able to convince the bankers who charge, excessive rates that they, have no more right to violate the law than the petty thief who Bteals a chicken cr the thirsty negro who peddles blind tiger , liquor. In fact the banks have less excuse, for they are more intelligent and pass for better citizens.

Ifthe Democrats can claim ahy credit for this prosperity they are welcome. ‘The Progressive meeting at Chi cago and their decision to amalga mate with the Republican party is in recognition of views similiar to those I have just expressed. Are You Guilty? A farmer carrying an express package from a big mail order house was accosted by a local dealer. _ "Why didn’t you buy that bill of goods from me? I could have saved you the express, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locality.” The farmer looked at the merch ant a moment and then said: “ Whv don’t you patronize your home paper and advertise? I read it arid didn’t know that you had the stuff I have here.” A Matter Too Serious to “Brag” About The per capita tax of North Caro linians is $7, and of North Carolina voters, $50, and j et the corporation c ommission increases our assessments every four years, and “brags” about us being the lowest taxed State in the Union.

Champ Clark would like to be president, and so would William Ervan. but they will both experience a freeze-out on June 14th. Mr. Wilson's freeze out will come about the first of November. William J. Etryan has announced that he will tour the Country and make many speeches against Presi dent Wilson’s preparedness pro gram. We will hang on the fence and watch the fun. There isconsiderable talk among Republicans of running Hon. James J. Britt for Governor this fall. The Record favors Jim Britt for any of fice. for there is not a better man in North Carolina than the Congress man from the Tenth. And npw it seems as if Mr. Wilson is going to slight us after all in his speechmaking tour. It is said that seven of North Carolina’s congress men are not in harmony with his preparedness program, which may in part explain why he isn’t coming The Record had hoped all along that Justice Charles Hughes would accept the nomination.for President on the Republican ticket; but it be gins to look as though, he had fully decided to remain on the Supreme Court bench. ‘ He is a mighty strong man. and would win over Wilson in a walk,' „ Every Republican in Davie county is urged to attend the Republican county convention' which, meets in this city on Saturday, ,. Jfeb. 26th. Delegates areto'be ehosento attend the State Convehtion it. Raleigh and the Copgressiohai Convention at Lexingt n, and other matters wil} also come before the convention. One year ago President Wilson told the people he was opposed to “converting this country into an armed camp.” and said it could take care of itself in any event. Now he is stumping the country in the in terest of his preparedness program. Thesuddencbange of Wilson and his. two secretaries, Garrison and Daniels has aroused the thinking people to a question of their sincer ity.—Yadkin Ripple. - Some of our citizens have such a habit of trading away from home that they will actually go to nearby cities to buy their tobacco, 10 cent dress goods and other things that could be purchased at home much cheaper. Some do this because it sounds better-to say the goods came from the city; others do this because they have-a spite at their own town' and don’t Waiit it to grow, while a few trade away from home because they don’t Imow any better. The Record is in favor of helping the home man, and believes in boosting the home town. Spend your money where you make it. when you can possibly do so. It will help you, your town and your county. ' Afribute to Mr. Bailey. Mr. Editor:—Being providentially hindered from attending the memor ial services of Mr. T. B. Bailey at the colored Prrabyterian church last Sunday afternoon,T wish to say a few words in yonr paper, I think the occasion was a most worthy one and the time could have been spent in no better way than that of eulogizing the' life of 'Hr. Bailey. It is a true saying that a friend in. need is a friend indeed, and such a friend was he. He could not turn a deaf ear to any one who was in need and destitute circumstance1-. A large man in stature, with equally a tender heart. His pla:e will be hard to till in the town of Mocks- ville, and in fact the State of North Carolina, and though the town, county and State deplore their loss, Jfa iu tb e heaven’s;gain. And may Ip M n d of Providence deal gently -with the widow left behind who. 'too, has always been faithful in lend ing a helpinshand to the sick vand ' sr, unfortunates B. J. NEELY.to* Grave apprehension is felf^con cerning the groundhog. Many of bis friends think that he fr.-ze to death aSunday or Monday night. News Fron Rowu- Some say the ground hog has brought us' this fine weather we are having, but if he does not lose his veracity this year we will be fqoled. We think there is much winter ;back yet. j The great golden wedding of-Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Brown was celebrat ed on the 31st ult. A large s jolly crowd of about 200 was prraenlj, and they were remembered from INew York City to Savannah. Contribu tions amounted to $67 in cash I with many other presents added, ijlever have they had so many handshakes and congratulations. It is sslidf that about one couple out of a thousand live to see their golden !wed,ding. This couple is one of that thousand. It seems that Wilson must pick a fuss With somebody and then | pre pare to fight. Friends never ineed to fight, but it may be he wants to force some of those bankrupt na tions to pay what he has loaned them. Oneman said he waq im pressed with what Wilson said ^bout preparedness, went home, bdught him two large guns, went batik to town add was soon surrounded by the sheriff’s force and found; they were prepared also. He told them be believed in - preparedness. The result was the next morning there were .seven hearses before the hous es of seven of the best citizens in town, and he was in jail with one eye out, one leg broken and a frac tured skull.. So much for prepared ness. Thenegro is generally' pre pared and it amounts to a killing of somebody Preparedness here means an immense fortune to some of the factories and the death of many of our good citizens. If this is what our people want, they should advo cate preparedness and vote for Wil son again. OBSERVER. Mr. Bailey’s Gifito Davidson. A few days before his deathj Mr. and Mrs T. B.

You say you “already carry all you can pay for”—you “don't want to cramp yourself"—you "don't want to keep yourself poor paying premiums.”Really, yoa are covering only a part of the ground- It isn’t simply a question of how much you can live on or how much you can lay by each year. There is the mote important question of how much your family could live upon if yon. the bread-winner, were suddenly taken away. They will get along all right while you live. They would manage to subsist somehow, even if your income were cut iq two. Woold they haveas much as that if yoa were taken away? Would they have aajtfcmg at all?Here is the question for every true man to consider “How much must my wife and children have to enable them to live in simple com fort when I am no longer here to provide for them? Have I taken the necessary steps to secure them as much as that? The Mutual Life Insnrance Company of New York See E. E.

A resolution of considerable impor tance has been adopted by the Nation al Convention of Insurance Commis- " sioners relative to a new . mortality table. Tha subject has been consid ered by the commissioners for some time and has been thoroughly discuss ed by them.' The improvement in the mortality of various companies is more evident with each year’s operation. The beneficial effects of better sani tation, food and living conditions, and 'the elimination of many preventable diseases have all had their effects. They have resulted In lengthening life so that many of the mortality tables are not true standards for use. A FEW HINTS FOB BUSI NESS HOUSES ' I.

Matches, for instance, are ne cessary as well as useful, but care lessly handled cause much trouble and destruction. Children should nev er be allowed to play with matches. 2.

The total number of fire alarms re ceived ia 1914,' says Robert Adamson, New York’s fire commissioner, in his annual report, was 16,245, of which 1,820 were false alarms. The actual number of fires was 14,425. Of this number 9,243 occured in places in Which people live—private dwellings, tenement houses, hotels and boarding houses. This was. 64 per cent, of all fires. Of the remaining number of fires, 2,414 occured outside Of build ings,. thus only 2,768 fires occured in buildings other’ than those used as homes. There were 6,781 fires in tene ment houses alone. There were 1,167 fires in bedrooms; 1,674 in cellars; 478 in chimneys; L340 in kitchens; 1,031 in parlors and dining rooms;. 375 in closets; 189 in dumbwaiter fires, and 215 fires under stoops, porches and areaways. Tb each pne of these fires the-fire department, had to send men and ap paratus. Most ot theBe fires were due to downright carelessness. „■ But a number of fires and amount of loss are very different things. Only 2,768 fires occured in buildings other than those used as homes, but these are the fires that add, and rapidly, to the staggering total of the fire waste, when the buildings in which they happen are not equipped with automatic sprinklers.—The Diffuser. MACHINE SHOPS AND RE PAIR SHOPS. Most of these shops do brazing, and a gasoline brazer is generally used. The type of brazer consists of a metal tank in which-the gasoline is placed and then forced through the pipes to the burner by air pressure from 20 to 120 pounds. In case ot a- break in the pipes the air pressure forces the gas- oline or a - burning column of gaso line over the subjected space. In case the gasoline does not take fire at the brazer,the room is filled with the fume and a"forge, stove, light, or any spark will ignite IL. This work should always be done In the open air. Should a break occur there, the fumes would go out into the air and not necessarily be of se rious. Consequences.; INSURANCECOMPANIES The genbral feeling against stock Insurance companies is undoubtedly due to a misunderstanding of the great necessity In our commercial world for such institutions, combined with a lack of knowledge of the effect of .rating bureaus, as borne- out of years of experience. The public necessity, because • of four millUfold interests, demands the protection of fire insur ance. JThe public wants this at the lowest rate or tax, consistent - with solvency; the .public demands, and is entitled to, uniform,rates on the same iss of property or essentially the same Class1Of risks!; This is impossi ble wlthour a scientific method of es timating rates.—Pennsylvania Legis lative report. ..

New York, Feb. 16.—The United States faces one of the most critical periods in its history, and the des tiny of the Ropublic for a cedtury to come may well be determined by the conduct of the: government and the sentiment of the people as exer cised and expressed during the next four years, .United; States Senator James W. Wadsworth. Jr., of New York, told the New York State Re- oublican Convention here today. He declared that only the European war had saved the country from be- ing now ‘•in'the-depths of the black est kind of industrial depression,” and declared that unleas a protec tive^ tariff is created there will come from foreign sources, after the sign ing of peace;-an industrial invasion such as the country’ has never yet experienced. Senator Wadsworth touched briefly* upon the Democratic policies toward the; Mexican and Philippine questions, declaring that “rightly or ,wrongly ,” the people of other Nation^ regard Americans to day “as lacking in- determination. Iadcingin virility, shrinking from those responsibilities and obligations which must ‘come to every great Nation.” U’SlM1 Conservation stands sejbtinel over the natural resources of our country, and forbids wanton destruction of forests,'tnines and animal life.

MocksviIle needs a water system.. Notice to The Taxpayers of Davie County. I waiit to thank one and. all that heardiiriv call in time of need responded by' paying Eels Recendy my attention has been called to a newspaper discussion of a well-known specimen of natural history for which tbe writer professesrno small degree of pre dilection, known as the eel. Now almost everybody is familiar with the most evi dent characteristics in the Ufe Uatoty of this- IchtKyototjcal specimen, yet there may be some features which are not quite so dew, to which the writer, ia few words, will direct attention. Then are two Undsof eels; the fresh water and conger (sea eels), the female of the fresh water variety sometimes at tains a Iengthof Uuee feet bat as a gen eral thingit ismuch less. Sea eels are much larger, their lengths ranging, from five to six feet; however specimens have been foand that’ have attained the ex treme length of eight feet. Eels being a bnuich of the family of physostamous fishes have a very wide distribution,-being found In almost all fresh waters and seas of the temperate and tropical zones. Both species 'are car nivorous and consume as ediblepabulum almost any animal flesh, ; whether the animal be aliveor dead. - Until comparatively recent yean the propagation of £els was veiled inmysteiy; but since tbe seventies multiplied instan ces of actual observation have eliminated the speculative idea and.'established the fact that eels are oviparous and breed in the sea below the hundred fathom line. Why this specimen of nascent life should prefer its genesis under such stupendous conditions.the'"Writer wodldhot presume to say further than that the depth of water would seem to famish freedom from the effects'of the agitating waves and tbe depredations of pelagic Kite. When fresh water eels are about a year old they begin their migratory habits stocking all streams connecting with their pelagic home; 'and, furthermore, under fa vorable conditions of dampness, it has been observed that eels actually ma their way acrossrcountry,' which aixounts for their presence in we|lsi and; isolated bodies of water? Furthermore, tbe mi croscope reveals’tbe fact-that there is a great deal of difference between the eel in larval form and the mature specimen, a series of interesting transformations having taken place in tbe Meantime. Now, Mr. Editor, I hupe tbe very trite ness of my subject will not prove a source of weariness^as its study has beep a half hour of nappy'diversion to me. J. MINOR.

You say you "already carry all you can pay for”—you “don't want to cramp yourself"—you "don’t want to keep yourself poor paying premiums.”Really, you are covering only a part of the ground.

There is the more important question of how much your family could live upon if you, the bread-winner, were ,suddenly taken away. They will get along ail right while you live.

Benzine polish is- usually found on the shelves of th e. grocery stores which have as their , customers the poorer class of people. This would appear to be due to the fact that the over-busy housewife, having in most cases no domestic help, is constrain ed by force of circumstances. to econ omize on time In every possible way. The benzine causes the polish to dry quickly, and ,this fact, of course, an- .tailing. less work, recommends it to this class of .householders. We would caution»all householders- to use only- fire: proof stove polish, whether ‘in liquid, powder .or, paste form,' All stove polishes Other than benzine polish can.be safely used, and Just as satisfactory results can be ob tained, especially if a few additional minutes are given to this duty. And is it not worth our while, to devote a little attention to this ’matter and thereby save this enormous sacrifice of human life? In short, is it not good, to preach that it is better to be safe than sorry?—Hartford Agent. Agent Must Inspect Property —Policy Now Stamped.

Workmen’s compensation legisla tion will necessarily lead to an in crease In the reported number of ac cidents, particularly those of less se rious ,character, involving a compar atively Rhort Incapacity for work; but it may also be expected to bring about notable reductions In the actual num ber of accidents by causing the instal lation of accldont-prevention applian ces. An important section of the buUo- Un is devoted to the progress of re porting and classifying accidents, in itiating for the' purpose of securing uniformity of' practice In the reports of the -various etates. More thanhaU the states have adop ted workmen’s compensation laws and it may be expected that before very many more years- the idea of com pensation for industrial accidents will become universal throughout the Uni ted States.

Not only is this true of the men In the or ganisations that are giving the best that are In them to the work at hand, bat the same/spirit' should be mani fested by tbe. safety departments of the various; -'plants- and railroads. ‘Safety First/ la something that we should- not permit to be commercial ised. Anything that stands for the conservation.: of human lives, limbs and happiness is too’ sacred to be dragged In the dust of contempt and ridicule or made sport of commercial ized bargains." - - TYPEWRITER REPAIR STATION A great deal of the work done In these stations Is cleaning typewriters, and a common method for doing this Is to Immerse the machine into a tub or vat of gasoline and wash or brush out the parts. - This Bhould never be allowed inside of a building,, but should be done on the outside or in a room separate from any other and well ven tilated. “ THINK FIRE” BEFORE IT HAPPENS DON’T.allow-children to play with matches. .DON’T blocks the " fire escapes; you may need Uiem yourself tonight.
