Im- promised in my first article, to give in my next* a conversation with an old farmer with- reference, to one of the evils complained of. Criticism; so far as the writer is concerned is not directed at any particular person. Nor is it in tended to stir up impleasortness. but I shall give my own views and; those of others with one object on Iy to bring about a chaoge in our system, should it be found oeces saryand for the best. Below will be found indictment number 2. iiAnd your boys wandered away to the cityt” Yes. They went to the little district school, and then I sent them to the village high school. Vv hen their school days were over, they couldn’t be persuaded to stay on the farm. They wanted to go out into the big world, as they; called it, where they could use their education. I couldn’t blame them tor leaving me. I couldn’t see . that the farm offered them much of a future.” iiYou thought their education couldn’t be much use on the fora!” No, I won’t say that. the. smarter.a man *ie, the better be eSn form / But the schools don’i educate country boys to till the soil. They don’t even teach them to look on farming as a dignified business. No doubt you’ve beard people say that district schools never did anything thoroughly Well, if they have overlooked anything that would go to make children more thoroughly dissatis fled with life on the form, I’d like to know it.” iiWhich means, I take it that you formers iare paying your good money for schools that are doing one of the greatest possible injur ies to farming and rural life in general!” . iiGome Io tbiuk of it, that’s jusl what we re doing.” A pretty strong statement, isn’t it!” You bet it’s strong; but its true, every word of it! And, to come home with it, the schools are largely to blame for my failure. I may be a little slow, of course, but I guess a man of my age snouldn’t be !expected to take up very many new tricks. It’s no more than right to expect young men to take the freins by tb s time they are twenty-eight or thirty Iftw o ofm y boys had stayed on the farm, we could have worked together until they married. Then one of them could have bought himself a farm, and the other could have taken (-barge of the home place. The boys would have kept up with all the new. ideas and let me take* a back seat A^id when my sons got well along in years they could -have stepped aside and let their sons take the lead.” ; ;.

If you own a thorough­ bred;, horse, cow or hog. you give it the best of painstaking care and attention. You are proud of its pedigree aud fine blood. You give a portion of your time and much of your thought to it, but can thousands of us say as much about the-care and thought we give to the proper education of our chib dredt Buying books and sending them off to school is not all.

Somehow or other we feel rather glad that Bankhead defeated Hob son in the senatorial race in Ala­ bama. Hobson, to our nation, has been too much on the talk. His yellow peril flap doodle never ap­ pealed to us. His kissing bees; his rather intense propositions on prohibition—well, a lot of things, made us rather glad to know he was defeated. This, perhaps, is his political finish. And it is well. G reensboro Record. The Faraer Who Was Too Late Do you know him—the man who is always too late!

The automobile fever doesn’t a- bateany. Itis a sad day indeed when somebody doesn’t invest in a gaswagon. Many of our best citi zens are driving cars, and the oth­ ers will buy as soon as they can se­ cure the required amount of cash necessary to make the purchase. AU otwhich goes to show that it pays to advertise in the newspapers. Some of the papers are saying that an effort was made to keep President Wilson from coming to North Caro- Hna lesthe hurt the Republican party Wfiat will happen next, we wonder. M f.-Wilson is a good man, but tie doesn’t shine as a great president ttndif his visit has affected the Re­ publican party in any way it was to help it. I.; - j The Republican national conven tion meets in Chicago today. It i> thought that Hughes or Roosevelt will be nominee for President. The Record is hoping that Hughes will be the man; of course either of the gentlemen named would have no trouble in defeating Mr. Wilson in the November election. We take it for granted that Mr. Wilson will be the Democratic nominee for President, as Mr. Bryan is thinking of cunning for President on the Pro­ hibition ticket. * , TheRecordwould be glad to see the people of Davie coiinty do more of their trading in Mocksville. The county is small, and there are large towns on nearly all sides cf us^ which draws our trade.

The Board of Edu­ cation brought action against the county commissioners to have them raise the taxes to secure enough money to run the county schools the required lmigth of four months so that the county could share in the second State appropriation. The Superior.court decided in favor of the Board of Education,n BjfDajat Baptist Church. Sunday was “Home-coming Day” at the Baptistchurcb in Mocksville.

LEONARD BUlLDlNa siSrj&'W:-.-?';-; " ''BsEjefeisAa: I; M ,1.;IIiVd i l l i I ill ® s! in I i i I I Ife PEOPLE ARE TOO PRONE TO FOR­ GET VALUABLE SUGGESTION IN SIMPLE WORDS. Suggetted That Law Be Enacted Re­ quiring "Safety FIref SIgn to be Peeted In Front of all Engt- neert and Driven. In all probability a more appropriate and valuable suggestion was never made In two simple words tban •‘Safety first." It is indeed a fit com­ panion phrase to the now classic ad­ monition, “Lest we forget." But, the IwrO, the former is the stronger. With “Safety first" always in mind, the little we could, forget would not be worth remembering. The besetting ein is that we are -too prone to forget “Safety first" • , This is the pity Ol it, and it seems to us something should be done which would In large measure-prevent forget­ fulness. We have In mind a more practical and effective method than merely the -printed words “Safety first” posted indiscriminately for 'the eyes of any who may be. sufficiently interested to -give the suggestion a passing thought. There is danger o f such so- called education becoming one of ridi­ cule rather tban of adoption. This for jfite reason, the general public has been tOld to "Watch its step" Until this un­ official advice is as sounding braBS. What about the individual who pulls the throttle, the bell cord, the lever of the eelctric car, the elevator, or who handles the wheel of the automobile? If the insurance commissioners of this country would recommend to the leg­ islatures of their States the enact­ ment of a- law requiring the words “Safety first” to be posted In red let­ ters directly in front of every engineer, motorman or driver of a public or pri­ vate conveyance, propelled by steam, electricity, or gasoline, -the greatest possible stride towards the elimination of preventable accidents would be the net result.—Insurance Vindicator. BUILDING SAFER SCHOOLS All Over North Carolina People Are Aroused to a Desire For a Better and Safer School Building. One of the best signs of the times is the awakening of the people in re­ gard to “Better and Safer School Building^" From one end of the country to the other, and especially In North Carolina, people are being aroused to a desire to have their school buildings safe for their child­ ren. Insurance Commissioner Young is especially gratified that nearly every new school building to be erected in the State is to have the Double Tower Stairways, as advised by him, and no Btairways or other opening between the floors on the inside of the build­ ing. This will absolutely care for the ■moke panic that causes over 80 per cent of all the casualties In school fires. With- the discussion and pub­ licity th a t has been given to the mat­ ter In the State, thiB is not surprising, but it is Buprfslng that the Commis­ sioner is receiving from nearly every State of the Union requests for the pamphlet issued by him showing the proposed safety suggestions. JOHN T. SCOTT WANTED / .BY INSURANCE DEPARTMENT. Some time ago there arrived in Asheville a man from Pennsylvania b y 'th e name of John T. Scott, who went into 'the insurance business. He seems to have violated about every law of the State governing the su pervision and control of insurance agents. The Insurance Department is anxious to be advised of his wherea­ bouts. in order that he may be brought back here and put upon trial for his many misdeeds In swindling the peo-~ pie as well as the companies that he represented. - .This is a very striking case showing the importance of care upon the part of insurance companies In their se­ lection of agents and the caution that our people should exercise In patro­ nising agents without being satisfied that they are melt of character and standing. There is as much danger In trusting an insurance agent who is unreliable and without character as In dealing with any other unreliable business man. CLEANING WITH GA80LINE 13 DANGEROUS UNDERTAKING ; Most hoiisewive8 could be frighten ed Into hysterics if they saw one of their children playing, with a loaded shotgun. Yet some, of these same women will thoughtlessly undertake dry-cleaning In the kitchen w ith gaso line. Using a gowl or pan of gasoline in the kitchen is about as harmless a pastime as playing football with a - can of nitroglycerine. A firm which manufactures a com ‘ pound used with gasoline for dry- Cleaning is advertising its product ex- -whsl^jdy la th is country under such MadlIniBS ae' “Housewives Save $6 by Bfsing Gasoline.” “A'Good Way to Col- lbot Your Life Insurance” would have been a more appropriate heading.— T^Iendemon Dispatch; ' Every man as a morally obligated tp keep his place of occupancy clean aiiid free from fire danger as he is his f Ibody free from disease.

If the trouble should develop a general strike of the freight train employees,, resulting In a tie- up of traffic, the farm er would be un­ able to ship out w hat he raises to get In w hat he wants. He will to consider whether the rail roads should be crippled by being compelled to pay 25 per cent Increase In wages to men already receiving far more than the average prosper­ ous farm er, with resulting injury t« the farm er him self—and if the rail­ roads are compelled to grant the in­ crease and have to raise their freight rates, the farm er will have to pay big part of the increase. KEROSENE KILLS. FIRE FATALITIES. Commissioner of Insurance James R. Young says there seems to he an Increase In the number of deaths by fire reported of late not only In the daily press, hut especially In various sections of this State, which had come to be comparatively free from these fatal burnishings for some tim e-past. Constant vigilance and attention to the details Of fire prevention and maintenance of safety and fire-escape appliances are the only remedy for these disasters, and Commissioner Young appeals for this care-taking and vigilance to be exercised, pointing out that it will result not only In saving life and property,- but In the ultim ate reduction of fire Insurance _ rates, which- are so. largely controlled j farmer, by the volume of fire losses and co st; from to the farmers—probably the first tim e such a course has been taken in any great labor struggle. They say they are convinced of the gene­ ral public’s confidence In the horse sense, the insight and the fairness of the American former, and that, there­ fore, his influence m ust be powerful. . High Wages Now Paid They are dwelling especially on the argument that the freight trainm en already are the highest' paid laborers In the world. They submit figures to show th at In many instances freight train employees earn from »75.00 a month for the trainm en, or “brake- man” as they used to be called, to »260.00 a month for engineers, work- Inlg from 22 to 25 days a month. They are asking farm ers to Inquire Into the facts and convince them­ selves that m ost of the talk of ex­ cessive hours of labor on railways is empty and contradicted by the facts. More than sixteen hours of continu­ ous work In railway service is for­ bidden by law. The instances of men kept on duty so,long as sixeen hours are a very small fractional per­ centage . of the total employment; they become less every year, and al­ m ost Invariably are due to accident or some unusual w eather conditions. The managers of the railway com­ panies point out . th at the him self accustomed to twelve to fourteen hours of administration.

The trainm en are said - Of all the products of petroleum, fierosene seems to be .the most danger- out to life and property. Not that , gasoline In itself is less of a hazard than kerosene. It is a ques­ tion of care used in handling. Gasoline has long been recognized as a high explosive and m ost people are more or less afraid of it, with the result that they use care In handling it. But kerosene has been a household article* for half a century. It is used every day for lighting purposes on the farm and in the homes of the poor in the city. ' “Fam iliarity breeds con­ tempt.” Accustomed from childhood to seeing kgrosene handled about the house, people have ceased to fear its destructive power. Last year on M anhattan Island, New York City, where kerosene is less used, probably, than anywhere else in the United States, 33 out of 106 deaths from fire were caused directly by care­ lessness with kerosene. No accurate detailed statistics are available for Kansas. However, careful examination of newspaper clippings coming to the State Fire M arshal from over the State would seem to indicate that a t least one-third of the deaths from fire last year were due to-the same cause. In Kansas ,m ost of the accidents occur through the use of kerosene in storting fires; . Sudden and unexpect ed explosions occurring when ordinary care had been used were quite com­ mon. The simple fact is that he who starts a flre 'w ith kerosene Is taking his life in his own hands. Enlisting in the arm y In time of w ar involves no greater likelihood of injury or vio­ lent death than does the habit of using keresene for kindling.—Kansas F. M. Bulletin.

Some time ago a flre was reported to the Insurance Departm ent add the cause given as the burning o f the as­ bestos pipe covering. It was stated that the covering was old and had so depreciated as to become inflammable- The Commissioner took up the m at ter, and an Investigation showed that there was no asbestos In the cover­ ing, but that It was made simply of pasteboard. Now this is a very dan­ gerous proposition, and the Commls sioner feels tMR he should w arn the citizens of; the State, and especially the architects and contractors, against pipe covering of this character.. He Is endeavoring to get the nam es of the m anufacturers of this class of pipe covering, and, If so, will pubUBh the same for the protection of the people of the State.

It is trne that the farmer is get­ ting more for the products of his farm but be is paying high for all he buys. His sugar, coffee,shoes, clothing, machinery and every article he buys is almost double in price. The prosperity to the rich of America5Iike it has always been in Europe, has brought a nios! starvation to the poor. When provisions were 25 to 50 per ceut lower than they are today the common lalmrer received $1 per day. He only receives $1 to­ day. and yet these political pie hunters swear that the land is overrun with prosperity. In the name of humanity we ask them to show.us a small atrip of prosperitp for the poor devil that works for his daily bread.—Tay- lorsviile’Scout.

Last fall and winter many of our stockmen complained of the high price of cotton seed meal. It was not t««o high compared with other feeds, but many, especially those who buy by the ton and not by the amount of nutrieuts or feed value, thought so. • There is a way to avoid the pur- chase of cottonseed meal. The proteiu it contains can be supplied in soy beans, aud as the nitrogen they contain is largely taken from the air. they area cheap source of Ditrogen. To supply the feeding value in a ton of cottonseed meal will rebuire around 35 bushels of soy beans, and these can easily be produced on two acres and should be produced on not over au acre and a half. Each farmer who com­ plained of the high price of cot­ tonseed meal last fall should now ask himself the question. Gan I grow and harvest two acres of sojt beans at less expense than the cost of a ton of cottonseed mealt Ifb e thinks he can, then by all means he should grow the beans. We think he can acd he- ought, to grow the soy beans, but we do not think $30 to $35 a ton too high for cottonseed meal. In fact if the soy beans are grown, the 35 bushels are apt to be worth $45 to $50, and in such case they should be sold and cottonseed meal porchased; but still, we think the soy beans should be grown.— Progressive Farmer. The Beanfy that Snrrounds Us. The trees that I know- best are uever twice£the same, because of the way of the wind with their leaves, of the suu upon them, of moonday shining and their evei ing shadow. Gan the sea with its waves give more of change than a June meadow of long grass, where the wind has its way lbrii a long afternoon? Where ean you dnd beauty that will sarpass these green waves, rising, falling, break­ ing, strewn with blossoms of but tere.up aud daisy, of red clover? The salt has no such fragrance as that which comes from hay and clover and sweet grass newly shorn. Have you ever watched the winds and tides in fields of wheat and rye, the long golden shadow of bird wings across them and, just above, against the sky; slow sailing white douda that drift iu summer seas of dim blue wave? W ind, sun and familiar water brings home the wonder and the mystery of change, when the great winds or the least winds are abroad in the branebe9 and among the blossoms, and the play-of light aud shade makes quivering etch­ ing of leaf and twig upon the grass. Falling showers, smitten by the sunlight,., great rains that drench aud flood, and the beauty of mists that come and go, shrouding fami liar trees, torn by the wind, drift­ ing to rest on tar bills,are the heri­ tage of him who will but stand and watch.

IN ADVANCE - $ 50 THREE MONTHS, IN ADVANCE $ 25 WEDNESDAY. JUNE 14, 1916 We told you so ■ Most of the people in this section don’t think much of the primary election. Itc o stsa lo to fm o n c y to run fo r office these days, and then to g et left is worse yet. The people in this section don’t seem to want a big celebration July 4th. So mote it be. The Democrats may believe in ro­ tation in office but they didn’t vote as they prayed in the recent primary Every one of the old officers were renominated, many of them having already serVed sixteen years at the slop trough. The Democratic national conven­ tion meets today in St. Louis to re­ nominate Woodrow Wilson for presi dent and Thos, R. Marshall for vice- president. Fourvears afro Mr. Wil­ son declared himself in favor of one term for president. Like all office holders he wants to go back for four years more. TheRepublicansinDaviewillhave to stand together this fall if they propose to carry the county. A house divided among itself cannot stand. The voice of the people must be heard. It is the masses and not the classes that the candidate must depend on. The politician and rings ter has been relegated to the rear and the best men are going to be nominated and elected in the future. Up to this good hour four of our citizens have announced their candi dasy for the office of sheriff. So far as we know this is the full crop although it has been rumored tba there were two or three others. AU those who have announced them selves are good citizens and are working hard for the nomination. It is rummored that there are five or six candidates for the office of treasurer, but so far no announce ments have been made. The price of newspaper has ad van ced$l 50 per hundred pounds since we made our last comment on this subject. The price of envelopes, letterheads, etc., has just about doubled, and the end is not yet in sight, Many papers throughout the country have raised their subscrip- price to $150 and $2 per year, while others have suspended publication. The Record will remain at $1 per year, but we hope all our subscri bers who are behind with their sub scription will send us the dollar at an early date. Under ordinary con- ditions, this is the hardest season of the year for the weekly paper, and with price double what they have been it is harder on them than ever. With the Republican primaries and county convention only about ten weeks off, politics is beginning to.warm up a little in Dayie county, : The primaries are to be held on Sat­ urday, Sept 2nd, and the county convention on Monday, Sept. 4th. There are at this writing four candi­ dates who have announced themsel Ves for sheriff, and five or six boys who wouldn’t refuse the treasurer’s office if it were tendered them on a alver platter. So far as we know there are no active candidates for the remainder of the county officers, nor for the legislature. The Record is still ready to announce candidates at the regular fee, Roitiant Capture 11,080 AnttrJans Petrograd, via London, Juoe 8—The capture of ,Lutsk in Volhynia and also of a series of powerfully organized Austrian position is announced in ao official com­ munication given out here today.

H isstate ment follows: “ I was not a candidate for the vice presidential nomination and requested the chairman of the In diana delegation to withdraw- «ny name if presented. The nomina tion was made and the convention adjourned before my dispatch was received. I feel it my duty, under the circumstances, to accept tbt commission, which the party has so generously and unanimously placed iu my hands.” sive National Convention after four days’ tumult with but one purpose, today nominated Colonel Theodore Roosevelt for Preadoit and a few hours later listened without protest to a message from Oyster Itay that be would not accent "at this time.” The convention adjourned at 4:58 p. m.

It will then be authorized for the re­ presentatives of the Progressve party to say whether to indorse the position taken by Mr. Roosevelt or whether they will name another to fight for their party principles.

In Rowan county the wind did much damage. At Jerusalem, this county lands were badly damaged by the heavy rains. At Greensboro the storm was terrific and a panic en­ sued. Thebail was heavy in some sections of Davie county. It is not thought that wheat was hurt in this immediate section. A number of houses were struck by lightning in different sections of thecountry.

The Republicans of Wilkes County have just held one of the most har­ monious and enthusiastic conven­ tions that the history of the party in the county records. The candi­ dates were named with a Qnamimity of purpose that had in view the well Deing of the party and its success at the polls in November. There were no contests for nominations except of the friendliest sort and the van­ quished are as sincere for success as the victors. The nominees are J. M. Prevette for the Legislature, W. D. Woodruff for Sheriff, W. H. Pos­ ter for Register of Deeds, C. H. Ferguson for Treasurer, T M. Cry- sel for Coroner, G G. EUedge Sur­ veyor, D. C. Sebastian. J. F. Barlow and A. R.

Brown, the Republi­ can nominee for congress from the Seventh DistrictIn a ringing speech Mr. Brown assured the gathering that, he was an earnest'candidate and that he would carry the fight into every part of the district. He made his position clear upon many of the leading issues of the day and declared his conviction to be that the protective tariff is one of tbe funda­ mental principles, not only of tbe To My Democratic Friends. So ^ir as I am concerned, per­ sonally, the campaign for the nomi nation for Congress in the Seventh District is at an end. The race in the second primary will be between Hon. Union L. Spence of Moore and Hon. LeeD. Robinsonof Anson and will be decided at the various voting precints on Saturday, July 1st, Mr. T. B. Finley, of Wilkes, and myself being eliminated I want to take this method to sin­ cerely thank mv good Democratic friends in this District for their loy­ al support. Words cannot express my gratitude, and I trust that I will be spared to live and be able in some way to show my appreciation to the men who worked so hard for me. My only regret is their disap­ pointment in my failure to secure the nomination. While I have an ambition to represent my people in Congress, it is an unselfish one, and I felt that as an unselfish one, and I felt that as a representative in Con­ gress I would better be able to serve my country than I would as a a private citizen. As a rule a de­ feated candidate is more fortunate than the successful one from a fi­ nancial standpoint, and from the standpoint of happiness. Personal­ ly,-1 am glad the campaign is over, I have no ill feeling toward any one I am proud of the splendid vote I received, in the 13 counties of the district, which was purely a volun tary vote, as I did not spend a dol­ lar to employ workers. Ihave conducted a clean, honor­ able campaign, and did not enter the counties of any of my opponents, nor have I done or said anything against them or any other person that I am ashamed of, therefore at the end of a strenuous three-months campaign, I have no regrets and am content with the result,, knowing that I have lost nothing except the money I put in it and the three months time. I have enjoyed every day of the campaign. I have met old friends in the various parts of the District, have made new ac­ quaintances and new friendships and had interesting experiences that are worth a great deal more than it has cost me When- the battle is over, Saturday, July 1st. I shall give my hearty and active support to the Democratic nominee for Congress in this District. I am proud that I have been able to finish this cam­ paign and still maintain my inde­ pendence and self-respect and that I still have faith in- men that I love my friends and the Democratic party a3 ever before I return to my desk with' a determination to party whose nominee he is, but of un^elfishly for the the best conditions | of the govern- u/u he PeoPie .Whenever I -can serve my friendsment, as well.

One of the .most important decisions 'rendered by our Supreme Court has Just been handed down in State vs. Agey. This decision involved the constitutionally ot the law in this State for the protection of our citizens from unreliable companies and “pro­ moters” who undertake to sell stock throughout the State. Thousands of dollars have been saved to the State, -■ and this opinion as delivered by our Chief Justice insures a continuance of • this protection. The full statement in regard to this decision Is herewith ■ given as taken from the News and Qbserver: v “State vs. Agey is an indictment of - an agent of a Tennessee corporation selling lots in Tatnall County, Georgia, under the following proposition: Tat- ngU is one of the largest counties in Georgia, and it is not specified In what part of the county these lots exist. A lot 120 feet by 450 feet (less than one- eighth ot an acre) is sold to the pur­ chaser for $600. This is equivalent to $5,000 per acre. The purchaser pays $120 down at the signing of the paper and $120 more the first year, after which the company agrees to set out fig cuttings. The balance of the $600 (a paid in monthly installments during the next five years. The company re­ serves the title merely giving its un­ secured promise to make a deed when all payments are made, and providing that upon default of any payment, all deferred payments at once become due and; payable. The company agrees to cultivate, prune, and take care of the Crchard for five years, and, upon full payment, to make a deed for such lot with 200 trees upon it. There is no assurance that the company now has any assets, or will have any at the' end of five years out of which damages may be recovered if it fails to comply with its contract. The defendant Company has failed and refused to lay before the Insurance Qommissioner Its schedule of assets, the names of Its incorporators or managers, and to procure the license which the statute jpfithis State requires after investiga­ tion by its official of the reliability of Qie company which offers this scheme to the public. ' “The defendant was Indicted under Rev' 4805 and Ch. 196, Laws 1911, and Cb. 156, Laws 1913. Ch. 196, Laws 1911,' provides that before any bond, investment etc., company shall offer for sale or sell the stocks, bonds, or obligations of any foreign corporation; etc., It m ust be'licensed by the Insur­ ance .Commissioner, who shall be sat­ isfied that such company is solvent, etc. "Ch. 156, Laws 1913, provides that every corporation, etc., selling within this State any stocks, bonds, or other evidences of property Interest In itself or any other company m ust be licens ed by the Insurance Commissioner after investigation of its solvency, etc. . “Upon a special verdict, defendant was found guilty. V "Chief Justice Clark states that the first question is whether such company with such contracts comes within the meaning of the above acts. H estates that it is apparent from the facts found by the special verdict that the cgiitract offered by the defendant com­ pany comes within at least three pro- visions of the statute. It is an ‘in­ vestment company' offering to the public an investment in land and fig orchards In Georgia. It is-also offer Ing the ‘obligations of said -corpora­ tion’ to cultivate snid land and giving its contract to make title on com -PUance with certain terms, and, last fit.' it is offering for sale within the terms of Laws 1913, Ch. 156, such ‘evidence of property;' Under all three of these provisions, it is within the scope of the act. ! “I t was further contended that these statutes were invalid as a regulation of Interstate commerce. Chief Justice Clark states: This transaction took place entirely within the State of North Carolina and is subject to the Police power of this State. There ckn "'be no » interstate commerce unless as a part of the transaction there is In contemplation some act ob transportatlon between two or more States. There is nothing to be trans- Sbited either from this State to Geor­ gia or from Georgia to this State. There is no element of interstate commerce Involved. . .‘C hief Justice Clark further states: -This State has sought to protect its people, not by forbidding such trans­ actions with comptmles, etc., of other States, but by the very reasonable requirement that when parties, wheth ep incorporated or not, acting under the authority, actual or merely as­ serted, of another State, propose tc do business in our borders that they muBt submit their statem ent of as­ sets and the nature of their business to the Insurance Comm issioneroi this State,- who WiU issue his Ucense to do business here when he is sat lsfied that the company , or corpora­ tion is safe and solvent and has com- plied with the law of this State ap­ plicable to fideUty companies and governing their admission and super­ vision- by the Insurance PeparEinent and making it indictable to transact such business In iU s State until such £baaj> been obtained.

One hundred and sixty-three yeaie ago in the year 1753; there was a Baptist congregation formed near the headwaters of Bear Creek iu.tbe northwest corner of Davie county. Worship was held at any convenient place. Sometimes at a brush arbor until March 30, '1792, a congregation not for the first time in a log bouse which was named Bear Creek church.' Jos epli Sfurphy preached the sermon on that day and is supposed to have been pastor until the year 1800 Brombley Coper was called He was born in the year 1753 the same year that the first eongrega lion of this church was form ed.. The. first roll of the church mem bers atiowB about one third of them to ',be negroes, as of course there was no provision for this race in the early times before the Revolutionary W ar. Records show that if any male member missed tw #chorcb members in succession he should give a satisfactory rea son at the following meeting or he wonld be excluded from church .' It was added to the church cove naot in Jan. 1861 that any member would be dealt with In church for dancing, drinking, and for manj kinds of conducts that would scar cely even be mentioned these days.. Members were dealt with for mis treatment of slaves. In the year 1844 Nathaniel Chaffien a member of this church,' was elected pastor, serving for » number of years and at interven iog times. He was considered one of the best - local preachers of hit- day. Among some of tba other pastors were Rev. J. H. Martin; the saintly S. 3. May, Rev. George: Baity, Rev. Greene Brown, and two sons Salomon and Sanfoyd The last named is still living In ihestateof Missouri and is con* sidered one of the oldest preacherE of the South. W hilethe Civilwai was in progress the paid an an- nual pastor’s salary of $50.00; al­ though later they were not able to pay more than $25.00. No minis­ ter was allowed to preach at this chnrcb that preached doctrine not coutained in the scripture. About the year 1849 a framed was 40 ft. long. 30 ft. wide, 12 ft. high, the widls to be framed, weath- erboarded and ceiled with good lum­ ber. It was to contain six large win­ dows, in each side, and have, good seats. The supposed cost was not to be less than $400. The war came on before the construction of this build­ ing was begun and the building in use now was erected during. recon­ struction days. Itw asan excellent building for those days and is in fine condition today. It was not painted the first time until 1873. There was at one’time on this church ground a camp ground:: with tents for the fam­ ilies to live in daring the series of meetings. Often whole families came and stayed as long as set vices continued. Records show of several times the church administered to the needy in the community especially during the war . bv supplying the sick and helpless with wheat, corn, meat and other necessary things of life. At one Ume the church collec­ ted $30 in money for army supplies besides clothing and blankets. Back in early days as late as 1870, they had singing for two hours in the Sabbath school one hour in. the forenoon and one ip the afternoon. In the year 1873 Martin Marlow, colored, a member of this church, was ordained as a minister of the gospel for his race. In a short time be organized a church. Bear Creek church has always been noted for the large number ot ministers to assist in the protracted meetings. Sometimes the services of as many as nine were invited at onetime. Ever since this church was organized the first Sunday in the month has been the regular time for services, and the first Sunday in August the time for the protracted meeting to begin. Very few people in this and surrounding counties but has heard of the large crowds that attend there every year. Thischurch is not as able today as it once was. The membership, which has at times been- over 175, Is-Pow only about eighty. During the past year the able Rev. D. W. Littleton was pastor and much interest was manifested in the church work. At the present time ReV. W. H. Dodd is the pastor. ' (This article won the first prize at the last Davie County Commence inent held in Mocksville. Editor.] .

A report of a fire In Lawrence Coun­ ty in which a large church building, the property of the U nited-Brethren, was‘destroyed, would indicate that the fire was caused by spontaneous com­ bustion. This bonding has ju st been completed a t'a cost of $9,000 and was already for dedication. The day before the dedicatory services were to be held a number of women Omroughly cleaned the church, and used cloths saturated w ith a m ixture of linseed oil, turpentine and gasoUne for poUsh- ing-the floors and woodwork. In order that these cloths-m ight be retailed for future use, they were stored away in a sm all closet or cupboard, and evi- dently became ignited from spontane­ ous combusUon and destroyed the church. U nseed on is liable to cause such a fire, especially when spread over a large surface of easily ignited mate­ rial, such es cotton cloth. This oil takes oxygen from the air so fast th at the heat from the chemical union will, if not carried away by movement of air, rise to such a point that the fibre In the rags vriU take fire.- Then the gasoline fumes would catch fire much more easily .than the fibre of the rags, and the m ixture used in this case made it especially dangerous—Report Hli hois Ftre M arshal.

Joho Porroy -Mitchel, mayor-of may.be utterly wrong, but be has the courage of the Byttn denburg division, or the Foreign legion, he has determined to never the relations between State and Church as represented by the con tributiona . that New -York city makes to charitable enterprise con ducted under private and Church ausbices. Naturally,he has-snirred np a hornet’s nest indeed, bht so far he has made a powerful defence by keeping the offensive in his own bands. In New York there are. 22,000 dependent children in private insti- tutionsfor whose upkeep the city pays. Most of these institutions are conducted under the auspices oi the Catholic Church,, and in some of .them a recent Investigation found shocking conditions. But what chiefly -interested the mayor,and what has led to the latest explosion, is the'fact that a determined effort was made to headoff the mayor,, stili.greaterexertions were etn ployed to hamper it in its work. The investigators finally appealed to the police department for help, and thd police did help—tbo effect­ ually, it seems. For a grand jury indicted the city commissioner of charities, who pushing the inves­ tigation and his counsel on a charge of wire—tapping. ' Then the mayor blew up—in his own words; determined to ‘-rip things wide open.” He went be­ fore tbe investigation committee and charged three clergymen of the Catholic Chnrch with perjury; Criminal libel, subordination to. perjury, find" obslrncting the' afi- ministration of j ustice.. He start- ed to read to the commitfee cotf versations heard over these men’s telephone wires which, he said, supported the accusations, bu t the committee in a panic adjourned, as that was the only way to hush him up. Nevertheless, lie igot in to the; record the chaige that Fath­ er Farrell, a priest, had paid $50 td get a witness away, and that Monsignor Dunn, chancellor of the archdiocese of New York, had of­ fered $100 to. get another away; Then the meeting broke.up in con­ fusion and the mayor had to stop. .Wbat makes it more interesting is the fact that the mayor is him­ self a Catholic, and it is bis own spiritual fathers that he is trying to send to the penitentiary. But John Furray Mitchel is mayor of New York first, and Churchman afrerward; and he swore on tbe stand at the' hearing that as long as he is mayor i n that - city the Churoh is not going .to lay its hand 1Ion the altar of' .the State” any more than the State lay6 its hand on the altar of the Church.— Greensboro News.

SiIe oF Fusiga Made Cider is Il- Large quantities of imported ciden are being sold in North Caro- linaJlIeghlly, according to a state ment of Rev. R-L. • Davis, superin- .tendent of the North Carolina Anti- Saloon League, who has. been mak­ ing-an investigation in several counties: “Thesale of this cider,” says Mr. Davjs, “samples of' which have been annalyzed and shown to con- tein from 6 to 9 per cent, alcohol, is- illegal. The law provides that ciders may be' manufactured or made ’from grapes, berries, or frnits,’ and provides 'furjiher,-‘that nothing herein contained Shall be construed to prevent the salewf cider, in any quantity, by tbe 'man­ ufacturer from fruits grown on His lands within the State of North Carolina.’ This is the State-wide prohibition law of 1908 and this provision for the sale of domestic, cider by the manufacturer hasbeeq continued^ by the !anti-near-beer law’ paased in 1911, and the ’search ana seizure’ law passed in 1913. Be- yondithe sale of this domestic cider no man can go, and, therefore, eyeiy man in North Carolina that is selling cider shipped here from oth- e r States is doing so .in vioiotion of the^ law.’’^Statesville Landmark.

Laurel Hill comes to the front now with a school pig. An improved Poland China WaB won as a prize and cared for by a cinb of ten pupils under the di­ rection of Miss Bessie Danghtery. Tbe pig was sold a t the end of the School year and the funds applied to,the bejternment of the school.

' Offouree Mr. Wilson was re-nomi Rated for president at St. Louis, last Week. Is this the same Mr. Wilson that four short years ago declared himself in favor of but one tetfm of offira? Surely not As soon as Justice H ughes re­ signed from th e Suprem e C ourt bfehch our N orth Carolina D em ocrat ic'fteinds Degun how ling for. the job T is a pity^w e cannot land all the jobs. Our Democratic brethren have been up against a tough proposition since the Chicago convention. They all have to admit that Mr. Hughes is. a mighty fine man, and that his chance of election is fine. Some of the Democratic brethren are scared Jout of their boots. They know the end is near. One of them —Senator Stone, we believe—got frightened to such an extent that he wanted the constitution changed so that a. Justice of the Supreme court' could not run for President, BiIlyBryan is all right now. A few short months ago the Democrats were cursing him early and late, but since the St. Loui3 convention last week when Bryan told the boys be would stump the country for Wilson, the tide has turned and - those who hoWled the loudest againet Bryan arq.riow feeding him milk andjhoney Strange how quick a man can go right or wrong. The attention of the Winston Journal is called to this matter. .yfljreRecord.has always favored a twfttterm system and rotation in of­ fice.- We believe it is better for tl e paityand for. the people to make a change every four years. Itis bad policy to elect men to office and try to keep them in for the remainder of lheir lives. This plan has been tried, but it doesn’t work well. The pddple want to rule and do not pro­ pose :f or a few politicians to dictate to'them whom they shall vote for all the time. - gThe American citizen is becoming mere independent every year mid the man who hopes to get his vote miist have some other claim than to announce that he is merely a demo­ crat o r republican. The time is past especially in Davie county, when a man can be elected to office because his grandfather kiUed a bear and his father voted the Republican ticket. What the people want are men who have’opinions of their own, and men whom the thoughts of office wilt-not kilhor run crazy. :The;Democratic slogan is “Peace. Prosperity and. Preparedness. That is a mighty fine slogan, but there doesn't seem to be much truth in it. We have peace, it is true, but look what a price we had to pay for it. Wejgiow nothing of prosperity, for it-bAs Been a stranger in our midst since 1912.

St Louis, June 16.—Leaders of both the Woman’s party and the National Ameri­ can WomanSuffrage Association .tontgbt united in denouncing as inadequate the suffrage plank of the Democratic platform' and declared they would immediately resume their fight in Congress for Nation­ al recognition. “We shall return to Washington as quickly as possible,"' Miss Ann Martin, chairman of the Woman’s party, said. "We are going to give the Democratic Congress one more chance to make good before adjournment.

He thinks there wilt be unanimous Response By the Guard.. .Washington, June 18—Virtually the entire mobile' strength of the National Guard of all the States whs mustered into the Federal service tonight by the President; About 100,000 meii are expected to respond. They will bembbilized immediately for such service on the border' as may later be assigned them. Graeral -Funston will designate the time and place , for the move­ ments, of the guardsmen to line as the occasion requires. Secretary Baker said the State forces will be employed only to guard the. border and no additional troop movements into Mexico were contemplated ex­ cept in pursuit of the raiders. Siscretary Daniels ordered addition al war vessels to the Mexican waters and fahth coasts to safeguard Ameri- c4«an lives. - It is Btated that no new. advices as to the situation in Mexico had coihe to precipitate the new orders. With­ in the last two /weeks the tension has been increasing steadily. The crisis was presented by General Car­ ranza’s note demanding the recall of American troops followed by a vir­ tual ultimatum by General'Trevina. To this -was added yesterday the possibility that American and Mexi­ can and Mexican troops had crossed the bprder from San Benito, Tex. The administration officials arej’e- lieved over the safe return of Major Anderson’S cavalry squadron to Brownsville, after a successful ban­ dit chase. The troopers crossed in the race of intimations that they would be attacked. . Funston himself reported that he anticipated fighting with the Carran­ za troops. The mobilization paves the way for the releasing of some 30,000 regu­ lars for immediate service in Mexico. North Carolina is asked for one brigade of three regiments of infant­ ry, two troops of cavdlry; one field hospital and one ambulance com­ pany to assemble at Camp Glenn, Morehead City.

American expedition­ ary commander, that any movement of American troops from their present lines to the south, east or west would be con sidered a hostile act and a signal of com-- merce warfare. General TrdVino acted ! upon specific instructions from Carranza. Satf Antonio, Tex;, June 15.—LuisDe La Rosa made good his treat to raid the border, when i00 of his men attacked a small ■ detachment of., the 14th United States Cavalry at San • Ignacio, 40 miles southeast ofLaredo.

Wilson and Marshall Renominated. fi»iiM»nmi JuueV 15.—President WUson and Vice-Ptesident * Marshall were nomi­ nated by acclamation tonight by the- Democratic National convention, the tick­ et being completed four minutes before Friday. ’ Contrarytoexpectations, theconvention did not finish its work Because the plat­ form was not ready and it will meet again at U o’clock Friday morning. It was announced in the Convention that the subcommittee -drafting the. plat­ form had finished its work' but' that the entire evolutions committee was not as- seinbled to pass upon it. President Wil­ son’s own . plank charging conspicacy among the same forergn bom citizens for the benefit of foreign powers and denoun­ cing any political party which benefits and not^repudiating such a situation was- incorporate I in the platform. Ju stasth e Ptesident had sent it from Washington. It was understood that, the Prerident un­ derstood that the plank would be put in the platform in the way he had drawn it. Therft hever was any doubt of President Wilson’s nomination tonight, but there was a possibility that some new Vice- Presidential booms might be. brought out in opposition to Vice-President Marshall. They melted out, however, when the con­ vention got into session, and when Wilson had been nominated a roar wds given for MarshaU and SenatorKern, who renomi­ nated cast aside a Ipag prepared speech and simply declared: “I re-nominated Thomas Riley Marshall of Indiana, for Vice-President.” To President Wilson’s nomination there was only one dissenting vote. Robert Emmet Burke of Illinois, who came to the convention announcing ' that he was op­ posed to the President, His vote-techni- cally made the President's vote 1,091 to I, 4 Dead and 40 Hurt in ..

The scars are abont the same distance apart as the calks ot the heel of a male shoe. Mr. Geo. Foard of Statesville knows the history of the scars on Mr. Eid8on’s face. The history dates back abont 35 years ago. when Mr. Foard was something of a trader in live stock. Mr. Foard traded for a mule that was 40 if a day. The male waB not long for this world after he came into Mr. Foard’s procession and one day in north Iredell, he kicked the bucket. This was about noon one day and it was Beveral hoars afterwards that Mr. Foard asked Eidson if he conld load the mnle on his 'ox cart and ban] him to the boneyard. Mr. Eidson un­ dertook the job and the mnle was duly loaded. To do this easily the wheel was removed from one side- of the cart and the mnle eased np on it. The cart was then rigbted and the wheel replaced; It was suggested that tbe mule’s hind feet be pnlled back behind the stand ard so that the carcass would not roll off along the mile journey to be traveled, and tbe suggestion wss adopted and acted upon. Then Mr. Eidson began to walk around the cart shaking it to see that everything was all right. AU the time he was shaking tbe cart the mule’s feet were working up, un noticed by Mr. Eidson, towards the top of the standard. Mr. Eid son had given his cart the final shake when the male’s feet rose clear of the standard, rebounded ; 2 'r. Eidsoc up skie of the face and it was some tim e belore he could appreciate tbe saying of the American negro that “ a mule don’t kick according to no set rule.” And this is how come the scars on Mr. Eidson’s face. But Mr. Foard hasn’t anything on Mr. Eidson when it comes to a knowledge of tbe danger of project ing with tbe business end of farm animals. Mr. Foard bimself was laid cold fbr a few hours one day while engaged in one of the most dangerous and uncertain- of-results things—following at the end of a call’s tail across tbe field.

In the notDination of Jnstice Hughes for Presidentof the U nit ®d States th e oflfiee sought the man Mr- Hnghes was well content with his place on the Snpreme Court and had no desire to leave it; but the call by his party to bead the ticket he could not ignore. The ‘‘interests” do not want Mr. Hughes. He is too honest and square. The leading men of the party were opposed to him. H els too independent of tbe boss. In lact the main objection to Mr. Hughes iis that he is too mack like Wilson. H e is a learned law­ yer, a high minded patriot, a courageou? and honorable man. The country may well congratulate itself that who ever is elected P residentw eareto have forfonr years more one of the ablest and bravest executives w ehave had in the history of tbe country. Anoth er thing that should bring joy to our people is the fact that the late Chicago convention reveals the fact that this country takes no stock whatever in jingoism. Scattered here and there a few big mouthed braggarts were found who wanted to fight somebody. These gentle men were mashed as fiat as a barn door at Chicago. Neither Wood row Wilson nor Charles E. Haghes are fools abont war. Theyare men of peace. They have sense enough to know something of the horrors of war, and they are genu­ ine enough in their Americanism to repress any tendency toward the militarism that has bathed Ger­ many in blood. This is no time for bravado and blaster. It is time for calm reflection and moderation Ot .Speech and action. Anothary thing the nomination insures; The campaign is to be conducted on a high plane. Each of tbe Candida* tea thinks before he talks. Each of them knows when to hold his tongue. Both are sincere patriots, and put their country above them selves. W hat the Progressives will do is problematical. M t. Roose­ velt has not said whether or not be will support Hughes. H is fol lowers will-begoverned largely by what be does. Tbeyare blind par tisans and will have no ot her god but Roosevelt. The probability is that M r. Roosevelt will fail In line and support the regular ticket but he has so far had nothing to say on tbe subject —Charity and Children, NotCamUd. The.Denibcratic press is trying to make it appear that the Democratic party views with complaisance the prospect of - a campaign narrowed down to a contest of strength be­ tween Hughes and Wilson. Bithis they are so manifestly insincere as to make.their claims really ludicrous. Iflhey are so happy over the nomi­ nation of Mr. Hughes why did these papers try so hard to have Colonel Roosevelt nominated at Chicago by the'Republican convention? and why did they show so much satisfaction Iast Saturday afternoon and night oyer=the news that both Hughes and Roo^velt had been nominated?

She never knows when she bids her hus­ band goodbye whether she will ever see him alive again or not, or if so may be injured perhaps soon after she hears them leave late in the night. She will hear the wrecking whistle, from there until she can find out about this wreck. Howmuch misery she goes through.

That General Gonzales and his staff are still in Juarez and the town gar­ rison is being maintained, reports of Mexi­ can troop movements in the outlying dis­ tricts and apparently increased precaution on the American side, are cited as con­ firmatory of the theory.New York, June 25,—Fifteen thousand NatlonaIGuardsmen from the States of New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Connecticut will start for the Mexi­can border tomorrow. Major General Leon­ ard Wood announced late tonight.Washington, June 25.—A demand for the immediate release of the American troopers taken prisoner at Carrizal coupled with a stem notification that the United States expects an early statement of the purposes of the Carranza movement was telegraphed to Mexico City today by sec retary Lansing. Twenty AmeiicaDt Killed. El Paso. June 21—American and Car­ ranza troops fought a sanguinary battle today only a few hours after President Wilson’s six thousand word note warning General Carranza that the “gravest con­ sequences" would follow an attack upon American forces in Mexico, had gone forward. With which side victory tested was not known on the border tonight, as no report from General Pershing had come through. The casualties also were not known, but nearly a score of General Pershing’S men were said to have been killed and the Mexicans were reported to have lost mere than 40. Seventeen Americanswere declared by .-. Mexican officials to have been captured and hurried to Ghihuahua City under guard. A machine gun operat­ ed by the Mexicans was said to have done heavy execution.

Washington, June 23.—Legislative ap­ proval of President Wilson’s use of the National Guard in the Mexican crisis was voted almost unanimously by the House today in adopting a resolution declaring the existence of an emergency and giving the Presidentafree hand to draft as Fed eral soldiers all guardsmen willing to take the required oath. The Senate is expect­ ed to concur tomorrow. A million dollars would be appropriated by the resolution to aid dependent fami­ lies of the guardsmen so drafted, with the restriction that no family should receive more than $50 a month. Only two .representatives, a socialist and a Democrat, voted against the reso­ lution. During the,debate proceeding Its adopt­ ion, several *Republicans attacked the Administration's Mexican policy'and in sisted that President Wilson should have advised Congress of the emergency before asking them to make the appropriation.

James Battyfrf Hahes visited here Contj Conninionen Needed Beading the account ini The Da vie Seeord ot Idst week of the giv ing of the contract for the repair­ ing ot the court boose is calculated' to make a man stop and think. The Good Book says that a wise mao Iooketh well to hiB going, and a wise peop!e.should look weil’to their going. There is one thing certain, Davie county, is going into debt at a very rapid rate. Few men re­ alize how (deep in debt ghe is, and bow much of the taxes mutt be used every year to pay tbe interest on this debt to say nothing of the amount ot money necessary to pay off tbe debt as the bonds become due. The annn<il interest on the present indebtedness ia as follows: Boad bonds $173,500, at 5 per ct. interest, 18,675. Coart house bonds for the bouse which was burned, $18,000, a t' 5 per et. interest, $900. Bridge bonds, $19,000 at 6 per ct. interest, $1,140. 'Court bouse bonds issued since court house was I urned, $21,000, at 41 per cent. iutereBt, $950. Total annual interest on debt is $11,660.00. o Then the court bouse contracts called for something over $30,000 Q ( this amount only $21,000 is in hand, so it'w ill be necessary to issue at least $9,000 more in bonds The interest on this at 4i per cent will be $405, making the total an nual interest for county when court house is completed $12,065.00. Isn’t this enough to make men pause and think. This amount must be paid out o f tbe taxes each iear before there is any money available for the necessary connty expenses. Taxes were high enough last year, but with this new bond issue they are going to be higher next year. W hat assurance have we that when the roads wash away which will be in a very short time if something is not done to prevent it, that the Commissioners will not issue some niofe bonds to repair the roads. If they can issue bonds for court house and bridges with out submitting the issue to a vote of the people, why cannot they issue bonds for roads without vote of tbe people? When is this sort of thing going to stop! But some one will say it is sometimes necessary for an individual to go in debt and it is necessary some' times lor tbe county to go in debt for needed improvements. It is necessary sometimes to go in debt and it is necessary sometiihes for counties to issue bonds, but there are certain things to be considered. Are the improvements needed! Is the money to be economically han died? Are the improvements to be properly cared foil In regard to tbe road bonds we can say that the toads were necessary. Very few meu in Davie county would deny that.. In the next place was the road money economically han dledl I have yet to find tbe man who. will say that it was. Those who opposed the bond issue op' posed it not because they were op posed to'roads, but becanse they were afraid to trust' the money in the hands of inexperienced and in1 competent men. This wiiter favor­ ed the bonds but if be had known as much then as be does now he would not have favored them. We were led . to believe that . if tbe bond issue was carried every man in Davie county would be in reach ot a good road. Is that true! There are a great many who get very lit­ tle beuelit from the roads but are payiug the road tax. Then again. Are the roads be­ ing taken care oft. Every man knows that they are washing away very rapidly T h e n isth e court bouse needed? Every man will answer yes; but is it necessary to put $30,000- in repairs to the court house when we are already in debt to the amount of $18,000 for the one which was burned? , Is it cessary to put $30,000 in repairs when the original court house ouly cost $32,000? The first floor of ibe old houte is intact, the walls aie standing. W hyw ill it cost $30, 000 to repair it? There seems to be something wrong somewhere There is certainly no need to put a mortgage on the ceunty for a clock or water work's or lights. The county does not need a c'ock or water works or electric lights. Then is tbe house to be taken care of after it is repaired? If we are to judge the future by the past it certainly will hot be. [f the old bouse had been taken care of it would be Btanding there now. if the water works had been in prop er fix and the= hose at the right place "the fire could have been' put out in a few minutes. Then if-the County Commisaioneiahad had two grains ot business sense they would never have let a 132,000 building stand without insurance on it.; There-Bhould be some law to pre vent-three meu from running . the county hopelessly into 'debt, but as theie is not, it secms-to this writer that the. best thing, to do is for. the people of Davie to get together W d nominate and eject three coin*. petent business men without regard to politics, as Commissioners, who will no ran us any further into debt, and who will take care of tbe improvements made at such a vast expense to the tax payers.

Mr. Tnrnor heard evidence June lstan d fonnd there was a deficit ot $898.26, but claimed that this.deficit was caused by the additional expenses neces­ sarily incurred while running the school the extra month on funds provided by the State. The Board of Bdncation has filed.an exception showing that this deficit necessarily belongs to the funds for a four nfontbs term. Thecase now goes back to tbe Sopreme Court lor final decision. The Board of Edu­ cation on the first Monday in .July will pay out ail the funds oh hand to the teachers. Tbe teachers will get probably two-thirds of the amount due them lorthe two weeks Don't Want Coort House Insured. Mr. Editor:—The taxpayers of tbe county, no doubt, would like to know whether, when completed, an insurance will be carried on the new court house, or whether it will be fireproof and no insurance carried. The only vulnerable spot seems to be up amyng the rafters. W ith roof metal, rafters metal, floors, walls and ceiling concrete, metal doors and all wood work covered with asbestos is it possible for it to burn. An insurance of a few hundred dollars would soon mount up into the thousands. The old court house has beea standing since 1838. How much would it have cost to carry insurance on it to date? There are bucket or barrel pumps costing not above $25, with hose equipped with fire nozzle, that will throw a solid stream of water fifty to a hundred feet, that the town or the county should keep on hand.

On tbe early morniogof May 20, just as tbe Pleiades had sank away torest and the blasbiog eastern sky with its tints of red and gold proclaimed the fact that o1d Sol, fall, orbed, would again sit regoar t in the heavens for tbe ensuing day, we four friends, and I—set ont on a m >t* ring trip to Ch: r otte which, on this particular day, was the cynosure of all eyes, not only in the two Caroliuas, but also in many oiherS a es, for President and Mrs. Wilson and a coterie of notables from the nation’s Capitol City were B rhidultd to honor tbe Queen City wi’h their presence. . P B Sa'isbury, past China G. ove paat Kannapolis, past Concord, on ward we rush through pulverine clouds almost unbearable, until the hour of 8:30 found us rolling quietly along the gaudily-bedecked BtiertsoftheQ aeen City. As I stood on the sheets watch ihg the surging throng of buoyant enthusiasts, I suddenly fell into a reverie in which my mental atti tude became retrospective. TLe scroll of the past gradually unrolls and aB I. gaze down Time’s dim vista, methinks I see again those brave old Mecklenburg patriots as they quietly attach their names to that immortal declaration which everlastingly severed the ties bind ing them to the mother country. I see grim determination depicted on-each countenance as by this fell stroke ol the pen' each man assumes tbe obligation .of takiog upiarms in behalf of his country’s freedom. And as to how well they wrought go, gentle reader, and scan the stories of King’s Moun tain, Quilford Court House, and even down to sanguine Yorktownj which was the last act in the great drama, and you will ascertain that none more eagerly or willingly poured out their life blood to throw off the yoke of British tyranny than these brave old patriots ol Mecklenburg. Then suddenly there is the boom of a gun and iostantly I awake from my reverie. Once, twice, thrice, four times, and on up to twenty one, rang out tbe booming gitns on the city’s stifled air. In stantly all show an attitude of eag­ erness and alertness for soon tbe nation’s President Will11 lead the vaDguard of a magnificent, trium pbant parade as it marches thru the main thoroughfares of our Old Korth State’s superb metropolitan city. When the parade was finished the President was immediately con­ ducted to the grand stand where, after a brief introduction by Gov Craig he began his address at 12:30 and closed at 12:48. But in this space of only eighteen minutes’ du ration he uttered words of cosmic significance. While this humble scribe was absolutely unable to catch a single word even though fie applied all the energy of binau ral audition, yet he could hear the cheering and tbe shouting as the President stressed eorne snperla iave utterance. However, we gatb Hjed from the press that the grest ogjus of the President’s deliverance was for an early peace for bleeding |kftopet and-that this may prove an early realization orisons from millions of hearts will ascend be­ fore Heaven’s gate. And so finally after a day fraught with the highest enjoyment, at 3:45, we began our return journey toward quiet, somnolent Mocks vilie, arriving just as old Sol was sinkinginto that far famed mythi cal river at the touch of whose wa hers gentle deep envelopes the ani mate world.
