WiastdnSentineL "From time to time since 1448 a remarkable prophetic verse has beeu-republiBhed. It is known as Mother Shiptou’s prophecy, and practically all of the changes that were predieted by .it have today materialized. Only in the last two lines, did Mother Shipton slip up, but one cannot blame her for feel ing that, if all of her other predic- tious came true before 1881, there would'he little left to be done in the wij^ld. ' Moro than twenty-five years ago GoL Robert W . Belo clipped the 'propbqey froni a newspaper, and he stnds it to The Sentinel with the Iohpwing history: Mothfjr Shipton’s prophecy is al most forgotten except by antiquar ians. j it was first published in 1448 and republished in 1641. It must he’confessed that the greater part of ft has been fulfilled. It has no doubt caused a good many to think o t things that never would have been thought of had it not been written. Mother Shipton’s words are: Carriages without horses shall go. And accidhnls fill the world with woe, - Around the world thoughts shall fly In the twinkling of an eye. Water shall yet more wonders do; Now strange shall yet he true. The world upside down shall be, Aud gold found at the root of a tree. Through'hfils man.shall ride And no liorse or ass be at his side.

With startling'surprise and aston ishment cotton farmers read in the daily papers last week that a meet ing of State Farmers’ Union Presi dents, held in New Orleans1 had re commended twelve cents as a mini mum price for cotton. And this was reported on a day when even new crop middling cotton was bringing 15 cents all over the Sputhl Itw asreportedaisotheday after Superiatendent Hester publish ed the cotton statistics printed else, where on this page; that in the very? city where he published them! From Virginia to Texas this state ment of leaders representing the growers of the crop was hailed with hallelujahs by the bears and with amazement by farmers. The price of cotton slumped quickly afterward, and this, report was no doubt partly to blame. Now what; are the facts? The facts are that this report was not only a lie but a lie promoted by high- handle forgery and fraud. The facts are that instead'of naming twelve cents a pound as a reasonablemini- raum for this year’s crop the Farm ers’ Union Presidents named fifteen cents and say it should bring twenty cents. “ We find that conditions warrant a price of twenty cents, and we urge farmers not to sell any cot ton at all at less than fifteen cents’ is the official statem ent signed by those Union Presidents who remain ed in New OrleanB after Uie discov ery of this amazing fraud.

Hughes. [When the former Presidenten- |red the tent he was given a wild Iatiou. Climbing on a table on Le speaker’s platform, the Colon {read his prepared address,which las devoted almost entirely to an Jtaek on President W ilson’s for- Igii and Mesican politics and the Iter's support of the Adamson Iaht-hour day bill. TtVdonel ltoosevelt declared that IresideiiL Wilson’s chief policy as the policy of vaecilation. H e •dared the President, in -‘fifteen lessugcs, letters and speeches,-P lade from December 9, 1914. to' Ifbniary 10, 1916, ‘-‘took 41 dif- iicut positions about preparedness hd the measures necessary to se- Iiiu it. and each of these 41 posi- Diis, uoiilradicted from one to six the others.” [The European policy of.Presi Ini Wilson was referred to as humiliating and ignoble.” [The Colonel referred to the tor - Jdoiug of tne Lusitania by a Ger- aii submarine, as “ the most Klassal single instance of the m ur Ir ol non combatants, including en, women and children th at had Lru perpetrated by any power Illiiig itself civilized, for more |an a century.” ‘I have been a s k e d w h a t I w o u ld Lve done if I h a d b e e n President bcu the Lusitania w as to rp e d o - I,” shouted th e s p e a k e r. “ I wild inslaotly h a v e ta k e n poBBes- pu of every German s h ip in te rn e d i this couutry a n d th e n I w o u ld Lve said: ‘Now, w e w ill d isc u ss It what we will ta k e but w b a t e will take but w h a t w e w ill g iv e Kek.” JThis utterance re c e iv e d w ild ap- ausc. !"Mexico offerB the most striking Jstiince of contrast between words |d deeds on the part of our gov- mueut.” he said. “ M r. Wilson Jeaks loftily on behalf of ‘oppres II men and pitifnl women’ in the fcstiact; but when the forceB of Irranza aud V illa murdered Imericau men, and outraged Imeiicau women under the direct Lthority of their leaders, M r.

How did Mr. W ilson’s inter- K’ 1,1 these pitiful women and hildreu show itself! It showed Isclf by the statement ju st two | alfi later, about being “ Too proud ’light. ” it showed - itself in' his IiltSnient a little over two weeks fter to the effect that it was inex l0( ieni then to arouse^ the spirit I’ Patriotism. Let him square th e se a c ts .w ith Ue'e W0lds of h is. Let him square these words w ith his professions of ’interest’ in the fortunes of ’pitiful women and children.’ Let him square his absolute failure to take any action whatever w ith his state ments th at any ‘nation that viola tes our essential rights m ust be checked acd called to account by direct challenge and !resistance. Never in our history has there been such ignoble contrast between the words and the deeds of a chief executive.” The Mexican record of the ex ecutive was called ’.’ruinous to Mexico, dishonorable to ourselves and infamous from the standpoint of num anity.” “ The question at issue was not that of an eight hour day at all. The question was whether the President and Congress shonld en act a law, w ithout investigation and w ithout knowledge, to give in creased wages to a certain portiou of the body of wage earners. The Tabor leaders on this issue, with - out- regard to the right or wrong of the m atter, first coerced the President, aud then w ith his aid coerced Congress. The question at isBue was not one of the hours of labor- It was one of wages. And it was Bettled by the President and Congress w ithout investigation and without knowledge. The settlement was due partly to fear, and partly to hope of political profit. Presi dent W ilson in his speech on the 23rd of this month sought to ex- blain and justify his action. “ H e stated his wliole case with probably unconscious accuracy when he said before he undertook to Bettle the controversy he had learned that the whole temper of the legislative bodies of the Uuited States was in favor’ of what due side announced to be its contention Iudther words, he had made up his mind iu advance, and he had made it up because he believed the m ajority of the Congressmen (for the most part pure politicians) were on w hat they deemed to be the popular side. In this speech be explicitly adm itted that in this controversy the main partner was left o u to f the reckoning’ because the two partiesdeclined to consider w hat rights bad the -hundred mil lion people ol the U nited States!” And President Wilson eagerly joined with these men in refusing to consider the rights of these hun dred millions of people. “ President W ilson knows that be has betrayed the rights of these people. H e adm its that when in the same ^speech, w ith bis usual faculty for using fine words about the future when' he desires to cover up'm ean deeds in the present, he says, ’how are we going to prevent any organization from overriding the interests of society! * Ameriea has the privilege to say: You must not interrupt the N ational life without consulting = us’ ~ Exactly! Ejnn words! W ords such as Mr. Wil8on loves to use. A nd as is Cf Btomery with M r. W ilson, these fine words of bis about abstract rights are flatly contradicted by bis unw orthy deeds as soon as the concrete case arises. ‘‘M r. W ilson uses these lofty words about the future at the very tim e when he has made America subm it to seeing ’an organization override the interests of •society, when by his action. he has herm it ted this organization to ’interrupt the National life w ithout consult us,’ Of course it is a mere' pretense to say that there is any sacred-sc* cial reason why there is any great er reason to refuse to arbitrate the number of hours of labor than to refuse to arbitrate the amount of- wages. A nd -the question really. >at issue in this case does not really refer to the num ber of hours of of labor. It refers really to the rate o f wages. W bat Mr. Wilson- really did was to insist op legisla tion about the w age. s'cale w ithout J ledge. . “ Let President W ilson apply that Sacredveight hour -day law to the servants in. the ! W hite House and see how far he’ll get.” said Colonel ltoosevelt. Colonel Boosevelt dosed his ad dress with a plea for the election of Charles E. HugheB. H e nrged the votersJto “ repudiate M r. W il sou because only by so doing, can tney save America from that taint of gross selfishness and cowardice which we owe to Mr. W ilson’s sub stitutions of adroit elocution for straightforw ard action.” - Ux-Fos, A UM, EflKlIm Lnatim I Umr ToMc Does Hot Gtipo aor Dittorta the Stomach.

How Come? , The news story printed promis cuously to the effect th at ex Judge Cooke, of Asheville, was arrested for having in his posession nine gallons of whiskey and released aB not guilty of violating the State law, because he pnrchased the whiskey for his own use, causes us to wonder ju st how this can be pos sible. As we understand the law having in ones posession a greater amount of whiskey than one gallon is prim a facia evidence th at the holder of the joyous fluid is a re tailer. Ifa n ex- Jndge can safely house nine gallons of it, and by. swearing it is for bis own use, why can’t any other common mortal, w hite m an or black man, do the same thing with im punity! If the law works only with !the. suspect, then w hat is to ' hinder men not suspects from dealing in the poison for RMht-- The-Story is that a whole trunk full came into Asheville for the ex-Judge; ’that- the policeman saw it and arrested the judge, and all he had to do wan to go on the witness Btand aud swear it was for hiB own use, and the incident w asdosed.

ERNEST BOYLES. Taft and Teddy have met and clasped hands, which is.agood omen, and means that the Republican presi dent will be elected in November. There are some honest people in world. We mailed about 150 bills to our subscribers last week and have received six or seven replies. Practically every Democratic speaker in the State is busy trying to answer the charges that Frank -Linney is bringing against the Demo, cratic partv. Frank has got the boys going. President Wilson changes his mind oftener than many folks can change their socks. He went. West last week on a speaking tour, while a week previous he was to make all his speeches oh Shadow Lawn. Bat lo, and behold it availed him nothing. Tlie Lexington Dispatch, Jn a lengthy editorial in its last issue, falls on Davie county and its com missioners for not keeping, up the roads in this county, saying that reports come to it frequently that our roads are getting in mighty bad shape. From a reading of the editorial it would appear that Bro, Varner is criticising the Board of Commissioners, which he says, are !Republicans. The. Board of Road Commissioners of Davie composed of both Republicans and Democrats, and no politics is supposed to fce in jected in the matter. The counly has a fund set apart for the main tenance of the roads, but we do not believe that the fund is large enough. Some of our roads are being kept up! while others are getting in bad shape./ More money, is needed, and The Record is in favor of securing suffiicient funds to maintain, ouf roads. If the roads are let go, jt means th a t Davie has thrown away $175,000. Dr. Blair Makes Great Speeches. Dr. David Blair, of Missouri, de livered one of the best politica speeches in the. Community Build ing Monday afternoon that has been beard here in a long while. Owing to the fact that the speaking had been advertised but little, and that the farmers are very busy, the crowd was small. Dr. Blair spoke mostly on national issues, and we are sorry thatiour Democratic friends were 'not present, for the speaking would havebpened their eyes; D r/Blair Bpoke to an enthusiastic audience at Cooleemee on Monday night. He was introduced by Supt. Curlee. after which he held his au dience spellbound for more than an hour, and was applauded heartily. Cooleemeeisall right. Appreciates Service o f MocksviIIe We wish to express through the columns of your paper, our deepest gratitude and appreciation to the people of the town, ladies, gentle men, girls and boys, for the valuable services rendered Saturday morning when o u r. residence caught on lire.

The Record doesn’t believe that there is a man in Daviei county, either Democrat or Republican, who is ignorant enough to think for a moment that Davie will go Demo cratic this fall. There is no reason why a Democrat should want the county to go Democratic, and we don’t:believe that there are any Re publicans who want to make a change. Davie county has been Democratic in years gone by/and many of our citizens can remember what a condition of affairs existed at that time. Today a voucher on the county is worth as much as a gold certificate, while the time was when a voucher on the county was not worth but fifty cents on the dollar, and then the said voucher had to be traded out at the stores even on those terms. The vouchers had to be held for many months before they could be redeemed. And this was under Democratic good govern ment in Davie. Why should the Democrats in Davie want their tick et elected when they know that the counties run under Democratic gov- erment, costs th e . taxpayers more than twice what a Republican gov ernment costs them. For the benefit of our readers we will submit a few figures, and they came, not from a Republican source, but from the News-Letter, a non-partisan paper published at Chapel Hill by the stu dents of the University of North Carolina. The per capita tax in Da vie county is $1.86. In our neighbor ing county of Iredell, which is Demo craiic, the per capita tax is $6 91. Yadkin county, which is Republican and hasbeen for many years, has the lowest per capita tax of any county in North Carolina, which is $136. Compare this with Forsyth, a Demo cratic county Which is $4.10. Surry, another Republican county has a per capita tax of $1 38, while Rowan, another Democratic county, has a tax of $5 30. Stokes and Wilkes, both Republican counties, have a tax of $1 59 and $1.64 respectively, while New Hanover, and Mecklen burg, two good Democratic counties have a tax imposed upon each citi zen of $5 30 and $3.76. Why should the taxpayers of Davie want to turn the county over to the Democrats/ when it would mean that our tax would be increased. Under Demo cratic rule Davie did not have a mile of good roads, not a steel bridge, no public buildings that the citizens could point to with pride, and a county that couldn’t even pay their hor.est debts, Our Democratic friends know that the county is go ing Republican' this fall, as it has gone for many years. Even the gentlemen on the Democratic ticket kn« .v that they are going to he de feat cd. Thevare good, clever fel- Iow?, all of them, but if you don’t believe The Record is right, ask the Democratic nominee for Sheriff if he Ir, going to be elected and see what he tells you. Ask the Demo cratic candidate for Register if he is going to be elected, and see what he tells you. Ask any man who is on the Democratic ticket what chance he Itts of being elected, and see if he doesn’t tell you that his hopes are so slim that no one, not even him self can hope to be elected. No, Davie county is not going Demo crat ie on November 7th. Evpry Re publican on the couifty ticket will be elected by good majorities. The Rep ublicans in the county are going to the polls in solid phalanx and vote for a continuation of good govern ment. ______/________ ; Ltiiney IoMocksviIIe. Hon. Frank A. Linney, Republican nominee for Governor, spoke to a representative audienee of citizens at the Community- Building last Thursday afternoon. Mr. Linney de voted most of his time to a discus sion of State issues. He* used facts and figures and his hearers declare that he made a great speech. The day lias come when a public speaker must have something besides hot air and ghost stories to gives his hear ers. Mr. Linney is one of the best speakers 'in North Carolina, and he presented facts that no man, not even a Democrat,' can contradict For lack of space we cannot give a synopsis of Mr. Linney’s speech.

W hat came near being a serious fire, occurred in this city about 9:30 o’clock Saturday morning, when the roof of Mr- C. L. Thompson’s resi dence, on Church street, caught on fire. Thefire alarm was sounded, and the citizensjof the town respond ed nobly. Heroic work by the buck et brigade saved the building. Mrs. Thompson had a fire in the kitchen range, and it is supposed the fire started from a defective flue. The damage amounted to but a few dol lars. Mocksville is averaging a fire about every three weeks. The town should take some steps to secure a system of water works before fire destroys the whole town. _ Will they take action, or remain silent The taxpayers want some protection. Fork News. ..

Foster had the misfortune to get his Ford torn up right badly. The accident happened near Maraadonia church. He was meeting a car and in some manner the care tun together, smashing the radiator, tearing off one wheel and breakingfthe, wind shield of Mr. Fos ter’s car. Thev other car.was dam aged right much. Mr. Foster says he was on his side of the road when the accident occurred. Howard Ijames, who was a passanger in Mr. Foster’s car, had his face slightly cut by flying glass. No one else was hurt. The driver in the other car claims that he was blinded by the lights on Mr. Foster's car and could not see. S It is fortunate that the ac cident was no worse. A Bad Accident. Sunday afternoon about 5:30 o’ clock, Mr. T. V. Terrell, formerly o f Cooleemee, but now of Concord, while on his way home from a visit to his family a t Cooleemee, suffered a bad and perhaps fatal accident. Mr. Terrell was driving a Ford run about, and when near the Bost school house, just beyond South River, in turning out of the road.for an auto, he ran his car up a steep,\ bank, and the car turned over.; throwing him beneath it. John Loach ; the jitney driver, together with some’ o f the passengers, got the car off o f Mr. Terrell, and Mr. Leach brought him back- to his home. Up on examination it was found that two of his ribs were broken and that he had suffered internal injuries. But little hope is entertained for his recovery. : < . . < MEET US AT r .

Wehave referred before to the LeWs print situation, which has been rowing more seriou9 for some time. ;|»e matter has reached such a point jiat some of the weekly publications lave been threatened with extinc- Iion unless they increase their sub- jcription rates, while , numerous Iaily papers have felt the effects of be soaring prices of white paper in most pronouncing way. In speaking of the situation as it Iffects weaklies the Asheville Citi- |en says: "As announced in the news col umns elsewhere in this issue, two emi weekly newspapers published |t Newton have advanced their Icekiy subscription rates from $100 |o SI SO a year, and they will also ncre;re their advertising rates. As I tin; case with other newspapers in Ihe weekly and semi-weekly field, Ihe Ntnvtuii publications are forced J0 take this action as a measure of elf'protcction in face of the extra; lrdiuary advance in , the price of tews print paper. ‘!I is slated that the weekly and eini-weekly papers and many of the ImaIIer daily newspapers,Jare threat ened with extinction unless they are Illowed to recoup in Bome measure by advancing subscription and ad vertising rates, or by cutting down Ilie size of their issues. In many |ases paying six cents in the open narket for news print paper, the lmaller papers of the country have Itrugglcd on in the hope that some Ielief would come from somewhere, but as there is no prospect of an arly improvement in existing con- Hitions, they are making one last ef fort to save themselves. “We believe that the average Iiewspaper reader will readily con cede to the publishers of weekly and emi-weekly newspapers the f right Io increase their rates , which eyen Iinder ordinary conditions, have been entirely too low, Nowhere in Ihebusinessworld has such extra ordinary value been obtained as in Ibe weekly newspaper field, where papers of unusual m erit have been furnished to subscribers at the ridi culous price of $1.00 per year, The nan who has enjoyed such a privi lege has scarcely appreciated the en- prmous return he received for his nollar; he has never paused to reflect Ilie act that in making such a price Ihe weekly' publisher has made a pacrilice nowhere equaled in the com- oerciai world. • 'No other industry in the United Btatesof such extensive character Bs the newspaper business has en countered so serious a situation as gbat caused by the increase in the price of news print paper, advances vliieh register from 100 to 200 per Jient over the prices of a y e ir ago. Vnd we may state here that no .other business has been so slow itself. 3ther lines of industry, when con fronted with a like situation, prompt ly advanced the prices of their goods t course of action thorolv under stood and really approved by the public. Yet, we presume, Uiere will be some who will have the nerve to grumble at the advance of fifty cents i year in the price of weekly and femiweekly newspaper. — Winston Sentinel. NATURE TELLS YOU. Food Embargo. The food situation begins to look serious. Petititions are already in circulation asking Congress to de clare an embargo on all food ext ports. It is said that there will be millions of signatures on such pe titions when Congress assembles. TheJwheat situation is of chief interest and is more critical than most persons realize. Commissioner Hartigan of the bureau of weights and measures of New York City af ter looking carefully into the mat ter, declares .that according to the present outlook there is not going to be more than half enough wheat left in this country ‘to satisfy our needs. Contracts have already been signed for the sale to foreign pur chasers of 300,000 bushels and pos sibly more. Department of Agri culture reports, savs Commissioner Hartigan show that we have about 220,000,000 bushels of wheat left, although our average consumption is about 600.000,000. It is evident that, even allowing for the surplus held over from last year, there i3 sure to be a considerable, shortage. Mr. Hartigan fears that before next summer. a5-cent loafm ay be selling for 20 cents. Whether the contracts for foreign delivery already signed can be an nulled by act of Congress is ques tionable. Thereis no doubt of the government’s power to place an em bargo on future 'exporations; but Congress will not meet until Dec ember, and by that time most of the damage will have been done. ,Thus far we have congratulated otirselves on escaping nearly all the misfortune of Nations in the war zone. It will be a strange turn of fate if. in spite of our Having pro duced enough wheat to feed our population, we shall be reduced to* bread scarcity comparable with German^‘sT And if Uie food export ers are. permitted to proceed with out restriction, there will be serious scarcity and grievously high prices.

By W illiam Jennings Bryan. It is so well known that the nee of liquor ’ is indefensible tb a ttb e business word is thrSwiog its in Huence against even the moderate use of alcoholic drinks. The mah who drinks is the last one to find a job wbe% employees are wanted and the firstrone to lose his job when employees are being dismissed. This economic pressure is being brought to bear against alcoholic liquors throughout the industrial world. If any of you thiuk that drinking is a business advantage to any man anywhere, let uie suggest a tesi which you can apply between now and election day, if your vote is governed by the test you will votefor Prohibi tion. = Here is the test: Go to thebest l'riend you have and ask him for a recommendation; tell him to make it as strong as possible. A fter be has said all the good that be can of you let him write at the end of the recommendation three words— write them In red ink, so that they will be sure to be seen.—tlXnd he drinkB,” Then take the recommendation to any mau who has money anough to employ another and watch bis face when he reads the ;recommen- dation—and then w ait for a job, T No brew er,-distiller, or saloon keeper ever added those words to a recommendation given to a friend —find such a rceom m endationii yOu can. If the men who make liquor and sell it know its effect well enough never to put. in a recommendation why shonld anybody else thihk it aQ advaotage in business! If yon think th a t a saloon IwlpB a town answer this question. Bid you ever know a wet town to p u t the numbor of saloons on any sign board or in any advertising' litera ture! The number of banks busi ness houses, factories, colleges, schools—all these are mentioned as attractions, but not the nam ber of saloons or 'th e amount spent in them .' W hyt If the use of alcoholic liquor js an injury and if this fact is univer sally known, why is .its sale as a beverage licensedt Tbis argument against the saloon are as conclusive as the argum ents1 against alcohol itsslf. ^ Despondency.

T henatioc- al election is yet to come: In 1908 the Republicans parried Maine by only 7,653 in September, b u tin Kovember they rolled up 30,584 for Taft, So the outlook is for a Republican, plurality quite up to the a verage for five elections, and we believe-the average of the five elections nationally4 was a Bepnbli- can President of the IJnited States. -E x rr - ■. ’v:;: ..................... .

With tobacco falling in price every dav, will the Democratic brethren admit that it is a result of Demo cratic prosperity. An education is a mighty good thing to have, but too much of it is sometimes like too much wine, it makes a fool out of the fellow who has it. The State is full of automobiles and the automobiles are fulLof gaso line,-the drivers are sometimes full of bug juice and that is the cause of many of the fatal accidents at railroad crossings.

When cotton was selling for 7 cents a pound two years ago, out friends, the enemy, claimed that the low price was due toy the European war.

While the mer chants , association is primarily -for merchants, its operations are by no means confined to m atters of sole in terest to merchants.

He stated that a credit guide was how being prepar ed for Iredell and adjoining counties in which Davie should be represent ed. -The question- came up. again later/in the evening and Mr. Henry’s work was endorsed, resulting in his remaining iii Mocksvilie Wednesday to take the m atter before other tQerchants in addition .to those pre sent at the meeting.

T his be lief is founded on the know ledge th a t th e cruising radius of th e U-53 class boats does n o t exceed 7,000 m iles, or ju st sufficient to perm it m aking a voyage out from H elgoland, v ia the north of S cotland to N ew port and re turn. It is considered possible, how ever, th a t sufficient ex tra fuel w as carried to perm it o f a couple of days stay on th e operating ground. By every precedent in com m erce de stroying w ork, experts said, th e U-53 m ight be expected to have abandoned th e N an tu k et shoals locality after Sunday. M erchant ships, it w as pointed out, w ould give th e N antucket lig h tsh ip 's w ide b erth as soon as a p praised o f th e presence o f a sub m arine. One rep o rt th a t h as n o t been v eri fied w as to th e effect th a t th e U-53 took on board crude oil from the C hristian K nudsen before sinking th a t craft, In the event th a t th e U-53 has not been able to replenish h e r fuel tanks, th e view w as expressed th at •the logical course fo r h e r to tak e w ould be to follow th e lin e of th e G ulf stream to th e “corner” as it is know n to navigators.

The real story of th e raid and the buttle in th e a ir cannot be told, a t least for the present, and all attem pts to describe w hat happened during the night m ust be lim ited to th e accounts which are sanctioned fo r publication by the official p ress bureau. What the Airships Did. The sum total of casualties and .dam age caused by th e 13 Z eppelins is as follow s: Killed—T hirty persons. Injured—A bout 100 persons. Twenty-five houses and som e out buildings slightly dam aged in th e M et ropolitan police area. Two w ater m ains cut. A num ber of cottages and a church damaged in o th er areas.

They Iiresented a w onderful sight, caught in the glare of m ore th an a dozen search lights, illum inating them from every angle. T he lig h t flashed as a signal by the victorious airm an w as plainly discernible above th e destroyed raid er and a m inute la te r flam es w ere seen to burst forth from the huge airship, while shells w ere b ursting all around it. The giant m achine, now only a m ass of flames, fell rapidly, m eteorlike, to the ground, b a t so g reat w as its height 'a t the tim e w hen it m et its doom th a t its fall seem ed slow.

H urrying from th e roof to the ground floor of th e hotel, th e corre spondent, although having already seen three air raids on London, w itnessed never-to-be-forgotten scenes. S tair cases and corridors w ere thronged with people aroused from th e ir slum bers, but few indeed w ere those who displayed th e slightest sign of fear. Women, who shortly before m id night hnd been dancing In the ballroom of the Savoy, elaborately gow ned and bejeweled, w ere cam ping.on th e sta irs in scanty night attire .

In field experim ents, feeding Iron to the/roots gave no resu lts,'b u t it w as found th a t w hen th e leaves w ere w et w ith copperas solution enough iron w as absorbed to supply th eir needs.

Clothing has prone up 25 per cent, and merchants are unable to get quotations on clothes for delivery next spring, but anoth er hoist of 25 per cent, is expected. Calico, linen, poplin, broadcloth, serges, cambric, have gone up from 10 to 50 per cent, in price. The worst feature about the food stuff situation is that there is noth ing cheap upon which the family may subsist. Flour is from fifteen to twenty per cent, higher than at this time last vear. Dairy products are up one third; potatoes are twice as high in price as they were last September; meat is’-fro m '10 to 25 per cent, higher; sugar is 25 per cent, higher, flour 20 per cent, higher than i year ago; beans have nearly doub- ed in price; fish prices have increas ed in price in most communities; ard is about 40 per cent, higher Imn in ,September, 1915. The Cleveland Press, a Woodrow [Wilson organ, says: “Prices on near ly all common articles of goods have pen boosted in Cleveland this year H the way from 3 1-2 to 157 per :ent. over last year. One Cleveland uthoiitv says: “ While it cost afam - Iy five $1,000 to live last year, it will cost SI,500 this year, a fifty per cent, increase, and most of that igher cost is in food. The man who could last year support a fam ily on ?800 a year must $1 IOw to 1,200 to do it now. Experts of the Cleveland Federation for Charity ind Philanthropy estimate that the eneral increase in the cost of living in the last year ha3 reached thirty er cent. Figures feathered by The 'ress, and printed in this article, Iso show an average increase of bout on per cent. This covers 31 rtides. This means that where a an spent $1 a year ago he now iiusl Kpend $1 30. This applies not 'lily to the man who supports a f am- ly, but to the bachelor or the single :irl or woman, because the increase aiilxen in th" necessities which very individual requires nearly very day.” We are paying a terrible price for ur blood-stained prosperity. In ncreased cost of living the people of ■lie United States are paying three ollar.s for every dollar of the total sports of the United States and* ■ix dollars for every dollar we are ■o the good as a nation in our trans- xtioiin with foreign countries. The •row s accruing from their vat for- Hgn trade, incident to the European jsr. go to the fortunate few, whila He burdens, becoming almost jun- earablc. are being heaped upon the ack;; of the many. And this under Ji administration which promises to ooiisti the high cost of living, and inch professes attachment to the eltare of the American masses.— ■xchanijQ. How Catarrh » Contracted.

W hilethe people of the IJuited States have b*en sending thirty million dollars’ worth of relief to Europe and Turkey, two hundred thousand women and children in Albania have died of starvation. 'While each woman and child in Belgium has had plenty to eat, women and childreu iu Albnuiii have gnawed a t the carcasses ol dead horses in the streets. W illiam W illard Howard, of New York, who has returned from his third trip to this hungry zone of Europe, predicts !that the enliie population of A lbania will die of Iaaiiue and pesitedce unless helped. He says that in A lbania corn is fifty dollyrs a bushel, flour eighty dollars a sack, and marooni live dollars a pound. “ The tragedy of A lbania,” says Mr. Howard, “ is that a nation is dying ol hunger, while the people of the United States, laden with gifts for the rest ol Europe and for Turkey, pass by on the other side. ‘T h irty millions of dollars have been given by the people of the United States for relief work of various kinds in Belgium, Poland, Arm enia, Syria and the w arring: comities of Europe, while two hun dred thousand women and childreu in Southeastern (Europe have star ved to death unheeded /and uncar* ed for. Not one woman or child has died of hunger in Belgium; two hundred thousand In Albania. “ Ia it fair—is it hum an—that the innocent women and children of Albania, who never did anyone any harm , should be tram pled un der foot and left to perish, at a time when all ottf^rs are fed?

AUttie Brown Jug With an In teresting History. Mr. W . S. Gcffry of Davie couh: 'Rewaini'Uftr - (bakeo.ptlfce -yesterday ’ and exhibited a m initurc stone j ug, hapdle broken oft, cork-stopper, that has history. Mr. Guffey is informed and be- lfeves that this Bmall jug .was once the properly of -George' W ashing ton, the Father of H is Country. The story runneth thus: FLenel Emberson, a Scotchman who came with members of his Tam ily from Scotland, located in what is now Davie county. Phenel Em- berson was a member of W ashing ton’s stall and according to the his tory handed down W ashington gaveEmberson the small j ug which is now in M r. Guffey’s possession. Embersou gave it to bis sister, Amy Emberson, who in turn gave it to her sister, M rs. Nellie Rudi- sell, who handed the relic to her nephew, W . A . W illiam s, E sJ., who died not long ago at his home iu Daviescounty. M r. Guffey saw the jug in M r. W illiam s’ possession before the.latter’s death, heard its history aud expressed a desire to possess it. M r.. W illiams agreed that the jug should g<^ to M r. Guf fey when he died, and so M r. Guf fey now has it. - This is the story as it came down from the Emberson ~ family. If thei:e is any error about ft, the Em bersons were honestly' mistaken, says Mr. Guffey, They were good people and would not misrepresent the facts. Tbe jug is very small—will hold T essthaha gill—and one wonders w hat W ashington kept in it. Ifit -was used for the fluid often asso ciated with jugs, especially in the ,old days, its entire contents would hardly make ah “ eye-opener” for a Virginia gentleman. B st possibly G . W ashington, E sq , used the medicine sparingly and carried on ly a small am ouut for emergencies. Anyway, the story is interesting. Miss Nellie WifliamB, daughter of M r. W .

The North Carolina Orphan Asso ciation again calls upon every man, woman and child in the State to contribute on of near Thanksgiving Day a t least one day’s income to the Orphanage of his or her choice. A vear ago this appeal was issued for the first timfr. The .response was gratifying, not only because of the unprecedented gifts made to the yarious Orphanages, but also be cause it revealed the tender and practical sympathy, which our peo ple feel toward the thousands of our fatherless children. We antici pate that the gifts of this year will be much in advance of those in 191’ ^ The. cry of the orphan—who ran hear it unmoved? And whose heart does'not thrill with joy at the thought of the dozen or fifteen Or phanages in North Carolina housing many hundreds of dependent child ren and training them into individ ual efficiency and good citizenship? Yet every one of these institutions needs better equipment’ and larger support, and every one of them is; beseiged by applicants' for 'admiss^ ion which must be denied for lack of means. And, as a m atter of fact, in this g6od State of ours there are literally thousands of orphan ,child ren, dependent and deserving, who must be handicapped for life because in their tender years they cannot have the sheltering care and culture of an orphans’ home. In order that moire adequate equip ment and support may. be provided, the * ’One-Day - For -"The - Orphans” Movement was started calling upon all otir people to add to the stream of regular contributions a special Thanksgiying offering equal to a day’s income. This is a' reasonable request, for any one can share with the orphans the earnings of one day oiit*jf three hundred and;sixty-five. It is practijaibie, for ricbr a n d .^ o r alike can participate in it. It enlists otir peopie of all creeds and classes in' beautiful co-operation for the support of a needed civic and Chris tian philanthropy. While it depos its a handsome aggregate in the Orphanage treasuries, it also deep ens and enriches the life . of dur people. It is a prime investment for both church and State, first sav ing frofn degeneracy the most ex posed children in the world, and then training them for: usefulness in both the Commonwealth and the Kingdom,- W hoofusinthejoyous Thanksgiving season can refuse to lend the helping hand? We therefore made our appeal to The prince of business to give out of his abundance the actual or esti mated income of a day; The landlord and money lender to give one day’s rent of - his houses and lands, or one day’s interest on his money; The professional man to give one dav’s earnings, specifying the day or taking the average day; T hesalariedw orkertogivehis or her salary for a day; The laborer with only pick-up jobs to devote some special day to this cause; The good housewife with her in genuity and devotion to set apart the work of a day; The boys and girls with no regu Iar income to get a job after school hours or on some Saturday and give the proceeds to the Orphans;' In short, EVERYBODY, old and young, rich and poor, learned and illiterate, to join-urtbis holy move ment and thus to “ visit the father less in their affliction.” To this end we call upon the edir tors of our papers, daily and week ly, secular and religious, to gi ve the widest possible publicity to this move roent which is^>hilantbropic in pur pose and state-wide in extent; we call upon ali church leaders of all denominations,, including pastors, Sunday-school superintendents, wo men’s workers, and others of influ ence, to urge in their respective con gregations the giving of a day’s in come; to their Respective Orphan ages'; we call upon the officers of the . various orders to bring this movemenbto the attention, a t each man in their membership and enlist him in this extra offering;, we iall upon -teachers, doctors, lawyers, inerchants, manufacturers, Mid all* Othet-S with local' follqwing and - in fluence to induce their friend3 to unite with tbein in giving at next Thanksgiving a day’s work cr wages to the needy orphans of North Caro Iina. • Here, then, is our appeal: Make your offeriniron or about Thankt- givirig Day. M akeit on the basis of your earning-capacity for a sin jgle,day—more, if you will; less, if you can do no better. Ms>ke it thi u .vour church, or lodge, or individu ally. M akeittotheO rphanage of your choice. Make it, remembering that thousands of others are with you in this movement. Make it, if you will, with the prayer that- our orphan children may be led into the .larger life here and the life eternal hereafter, And may this concerted philanthropy for the fatherless help toward making next Thanksgiving Day the gladdest and best ever ob served in N orth Carolina.

STANDS The editor of The Record is arna- tive of Davie county—was born on banira of the tnrbid waters of Hunt ing Creek away, hack in the year of 1881 and knows most of the citizens of Davie and counts them as his friends, regardless, of their political or religious faith..:. For nearly ten years we have been a citizen of Mocksyille, and during that time we have spent 365 days each year in boosting our town and county, try ing to build up the waste places. We have done our duty as we saw it, aod we have made many friends and few enemies. O urpolltite has been open and above broad—wehave edited a Republican newspaper and worked for the party at all tiroes in an honorable and upright way. We have differed with some of the lead ers in our party, and as aresult have lost a good deal of business that we would have secured had we submit ted to things that we thought were wrong.. From the time we reached the voting age our ballot has been cast for a State and national Repub lican ticket, and for practically all of the Republican county ticket. There has been times when we thought the Repubiican county tick et had; men on it. that ought to have been left off, and on election day we left them off our ballot. We stood for the masses and not the classes, for the voter and not the politician; we have advocated things that the partv in the county did not favor, but we have lived to see some of these reforms take place. We fought for a set of men on our 'ticket that would not insist on holding office all their lives, and advocated a two-term tenure of office. We advocated put ting new men to take the places of those who had held office for many years, and we succeeded in . getting our friends to help us put up such men. It had been charged for many years that the Republican party was run by a “ ring.” The Record was opposed to rin g . rule, and insisted that a change be made so that this howl would be stopped. The Record wasubused and vilified for the stand i t t >ok, and today a few men are mad: at us for the fight we made, and business that a Republican pa per should haturally .be expected to get, is being turned over to a Democratic paper because we fought for principles that we knew were right, and we bad rather do without the business than to have got it and sacrificed our principles. The Rec ord favored abolishing the office of county treasurer, and if such a cou se will save the county a penny, we believe in doing away with the office. For. several years we have contended that the county officers should be put on a salary, instead of a fee:system, for we believe that is the right way to run the county, af fairs. We favor these things and favored them before a democrat ever come out on such a platform, and we propose to continue to favep- them, but we do not have to leave the Republicans and join the Demo crats because we believe in reforms. We propose to fight for what we be lieve to be right, and we shall fight m our own party, and not in that of our enemy. Our Democratic breth ren believe in promising manv things, hut their partv is known the world over as a party of broken pro-, mise3—a party that promises one thing and gives the people another. TheRecordbelieves in reform, and thousands of people in this county and state who have read our papet; and followed us for the past ten years can bear us out- in this state ment. We don’t believe that a man has to join the forces of the devil to fight for the Lord. We shall make our fight in the ranks of the party of progress and not in the partv that has no campaign issue save the howl of “ nigger, nigger,” But The Rec- ord^vill always' be found fighting for what it thudra is right, and shall nut side with any clique or party for the loaves and fishes th a t are cast to the weaklings who follow them- Some few of our enemies afe feed- ing the hand that smites them—but to these, who are few—we have nothing but the: kindest feedings.

Tom Marshall, in his Terre Haute speech, declared that were President Wilson, to die he would resign rather I has faHen. than accept the awful responsibilities of the presidency.

Count Stuergkh was diining at a hotel when the publisher attacked him. Three shots were' fired, all of which took effect, the premier dying instantly. - The assassination of the Austrian premier, Count Karl Stuergkh, was purely poUtical and was induced by his refusal to convene parUament, ac cording to the admission of Dr. Fried- Ich Adler, his assailant, shortly after his arrest. - Dr. Adler is an eccentric and super-radical Socialist sometimes known as 'th e “Liebknecht ’• of Aus tria.” He is editor of Deer Kempf.

There are several things which en ter into the right kind of a breakfast: first, the individual to be served, ■ age,' state of health^ occupation, sea son nnd climate, as well as the supplies'to be ob tained. The old standbys of bacon, toast, coffee, pre ceded by some sort • of fruit is the breakfast of the average person, it is the meal which most liouslwives complain about the often- est, being hard to give variety. ftrnpes nre one of the fruits' most enjoyed In the fall and are a most wholesome fruit; apples, pears and peaches all have a wholesome add, very beneficial to the digestion. Plain boiled rice makes a welcome breakfast cereal; omelets of various kinds give a change from the every day shell-cooked, poached or fried egg. A most appetizing method of serving eggs is to drop them Into Individual ramekins, coven with cream, dot with bits of butter and season with salt and pepper; place In the oven In a dish of hot water and bake until the eggs are set. IVhere fresh mackerel is obtained, no more tasty dish can be offered than broiled mackerel or the flsh backed In cream. Place it In a dripping pan' with a little water, skin side down,: and place In the hot oven; when the water lias evaporated pour over the fisIi a cupful of good cream; heat Ihrough and serve, adding the season ings at the last, not to curdle the cream, although that need not entirely spoil the dish, but It does detract from 'ds appearance. , - Chnpsi liver and bacon, sausages of various kinds, are all meats-used for breakfast. Only a small portion should be served, as it Is much better for the liosilth to c-at meat but once a day and that at the heavy meal, or dinner. Hot breads nre lllced for breakfast, and griddle cakes ' the year round never seem- to lose their popularity. Por the Sunday breakfast it Is wise to have an entire change. As It Is a meal of more leisure than every-day breakfasts,'It. may be a little more elaborate.

Then remove them, lay in cold water, and take off the shells. Make a white sauce o f'a quarter of a cupful each of butter and flour cooked together; then add a pint of milk, cook.until smooth and add one chopped green pepper and salt and pepper to season.

How to rejuvenate an old orchard so as to get real money out of it; was told by Dr. 3. H. Merrill of the entomology department of the agrlcul- trjftd college at a recent meeting of the Kansas State Horticultural society In Topeka. Doctor Merrill said In part; "The first steps to be token In re juvenating an old orchard depend upon the time of the year when the work is to be started. Jt in Uie wiDter, pruning will come first, but if In the spring, spraying. It is bet ter, -however, to start with pruning, as this will greatly simplify the spray ing which is to follow. “Every tree'Is an individual prob lem. There are a few general prin ciples upon which a man may work, but the solution of the matter is fl-- nally dependent on the grower’s own judgment It is well td keep in mind a general idea as to the kind of tree you desire finally to get The presence of a large number of dead, diseased and broken limbs which must be re moved will upset plans to a certain extent but this can be largely over come by eventually forcing hew growth Into these vacant places In the tree. “Every man has bis own idea as to the best way to prune a tree. An effective method is to begin at the lower part and work your way up ward, removing all dead, broken, dis eased and overlapping limbs on your way up. A fterreachingthetopofthe tree, you are in a position tb plan how to make a tree out of what is le ft If the tree is old, the chances-are that it is high and therefore Impossible to spray thoroughly. The limbs are usu ally too weak and slender to support many apples and it would cost more than the apples were worth to pick them, if there happened to be any. Therefore, while you are In the top of the tree,, head back these high limbs to such a height that they may be easily sprayed.and that -fruit can be picked economically. “ Each cut Shtndd be slanting, so as to Shed- the water, and should be. made Just above a lateral branch. If the cut is made In this way, the lateral branch will serve to draw up the sap and the wound will heal over nicely. It Is generally acknowledged-that the best apples are borne at the .top of the tree, but wouldn’t this be just as true if the trees were 15 Instead of 50 feet high? . “Sunlight Is'necessary if the apples are to color well. If, after worthless wood is removed, Uie tree still seems too thick, some thinning may be done, but too much wood should not be re moved at one time. More satisfactory results will be obtained if three years are allowed In which, to put the tree into satisfactory shape. It possible, however, some of the center branches should be taken out to give the sun light an opportunity to get down into the tree and color the fru it “As the tree grows In its natural state, there is a balance, between the root system and the crown, or. that portton above the ground. When a large amount of wood is taken from the tree, as in the case of heavy prun ing, this balance is disturbed. The root system remains the some, but there is not enough wood above ground to utilize the plant food which Ihe roots have stored; consequently, in the following season a large number of watersprouts will be put out by the tree. “If the tree has been high-headed, with most of the bearing wood at the top, and this you. have removed In heading the tree back, it will be neces sary to start some new bearing wood in the lower part of the tree. Thiscan be done by making use of the water sprouts, Unless they are too thick, it is well to leave most of them for the first year, but they Miould be cut back to three or four buds. By this method you .will' provide leaf surface enough to take bare of the plant food which the roots are sending up, and the cut ting back of the watersprouts will cause them ' to develop fruit spurs. Thus the bearing wood may be changed to the lower part of the tree. •The-second year the undesired watersprouts may be removed. Those which you wish to save for permanent bearing wbod should be left about 12 inches apart The watersprouts which later appear and are not wanted, may be rpbbed off when they are small buds. dipping the ends of the branches will force out new growth further back on the limb and will also have a tendency to make the branch thicken, thus enabling it better to sup port the weight of a crop of apples. Every, branch should be cut as close as possible to the limb from which it is being removed. The greatest care should be taken not to disturb any more of the fruit spurs than neces sary as it takes a long time for these to develop.” CULTIVATING TREES TO KILL INFECTION There Is No Positive Cure for Root RoMLives in Soil and Hard to Destroy. Replying to an inquiry as to the cause of fruit trees dying, Dr. R. H. Forbes, director of Uie. Arizona agricultural experiment station, says: “So far as I can tell from your letter it looks as though your fruit trees were affected with root rot, which attacks the trees at a distance below the surface of the soil and works up to within a few inches of the surface, when-the trees, being deprived iff their root system, suddenly die. This disease is favored by over-lrrlgatlon and lack of cultiva tion, these being conditions which re sult In insufficient aeraUon of the sotb Inasmuch, therefore, os root rot thrives with insufficient aeration, the best preventive measure, is to apply sufficient, but not too much, irrigating water,, and to culttvate thoroughly aft er every„irrlgatton. These precautions will contribute materially to the health of the trees. . There is no positive remedy that can be .suggested for dis eased trees and the infection, since It lives In the soil, is very difficult to get rid of. ,Irrigate with care. therefore, and cultivate Uiorpughly In order to lessen the damage as much as possible.

A variety of good, hard grains Is essential to success witt^plgeons, and grains which are In poor condition should not be fed. Old grains which are hard are better than new soft grains, especially for pigeons with squabs. Red wheat is considered bet ter than white wheat by many'pigeon breeders. Good wheat screenings are often fed with success, as they usu ally contain a variety of seeds. Vari ous stimulating seeds, such as lentils and vetch, are someUmes fed as a tohic to breeding birds during the molt ing period. The grain may be fed on the floor of the pen, in troughs, or kept before the birds in hoppers. It is not gen erally considered advisable to feed the grain on the ground, especially on heavy soil where it may get wet and moldy. Unless the fldor is kept Clean it is better to feed the groin in troughs than on the floor. The troughs should be made so that the pigeons will not roost on them and soil the feed with their droppings. Hoppers nre used with good success but .may attract rats in some pigeon houses. They !should be fitted with •wires or nails about two inches apart so that the pigeons cannot waste the feed by throwing it out onto the floor. If the grain is not fed In hoppers the pigeons should be fed twice daily, In the morning and in the afternoon, at regular hours, giving from one and one-half to two quarts of grain at each meal to 20 pairs of pigeons and add ing an extra pint if the pigeons have many squabs. The ’feeder must regu late the quantity of grain according to the appetite of the birds, giving thrin all they will clean up In one to two hours.
