FEBRUARY 7. 1917.NUMBER 3Q A Word About Bonds. I am attorney for a firm of bond buyers that invested m ore th a n a minion dollars in North Carolina bonds iu 1916, a citzen of thisBtate I protest against th e B atnrnalia of indiscriminate ai d n o lim ited bond issues by every little tow n, d istric t and hamlet, a n d th e even w orst waste of money o b tain ed from th e sale of the bonds. Approximately five millions of dollars in bonds were issued in this state in 1916. I know whereof I speak when I say that the state one year hence will not possess public improvements of that year to that, year to inventory even odo half the amount of the bonds. As a lawyer for bond buyers,’: I have no eau^e for complaint. As ia citz en of North Carolina, I know that unless something is done, the fin* ancial standing and credit of this state will be in a sad mess in 10 more years. Each single iBsue, wherever it may be, affects the fin ances of the whole state. Bond sales should be advertised and should be in public, but (hat will not go under the surface. of the real troubles. It will not pre vent waste of the proceeds, nor the effects of incompetence and dishon eety in public office. There should be one , law in North Carolina .covering the' Whole business of borrowing money, sell jag bonds, and making public con tracts, by the state and all., subdi vision'of it. The whole law should be in one chapter and no- loans should.be legal by any other an-* thority. It should provide that bonds before being sold must be passed.upon by the attorney gen eral of the Btate council,. and then sold by the state treasurer; and all expenditure of the proceeds should be under the supervision of state experts. This would be plain, simple, honest, efficient business manage bent of public affairs, and there fore it will not be done.—Bruce Graveitj Trinity, HV C.f iv-Greene' boro News-.

The gamblers on Wall Street made a big killing just before Christmas. It would seem that certain citizens higher up also captured a few paltry dollars as a result of the peace note in which a ‘•leak” was sprung. We miss the daily visits of the Charlotte Observer, which cut Os off their exchange list a week or two ago, but we don't miss the visits half as bad as we would miss the $8 that it takes to pay the subscription. President Wilson vetoed the Im migration Bill but the Senate killed his veto, and the House is expected to do likewise. The Junior Order has won a great victory. Cleveland and Taft vetoed a-similar bill during their presidential terms. Representative Brock writes us that he believes the legislature will pass a state-wide dog law. He savs if such a bill does not pass, he will have a special bill put through for Davie county. Go to it, Bro. Brock, We are bettiiig on you. When you start to the mass meet ing at Mocksville next Saturday be sure and leave your gun at home but bring a well-filled lunch basket with enough grub for dinner and supper. Speeches will be limited to 5 minutes so ithe meeting can ad journ at midnight. Thosefellows who have stopped their paper and cussed us into the middle of next year for advocating a dog tax, will some day rise up and call us blessed. Many newspapers would like to stand by the sheep in preference to the dog, but for fear of losing a few subscribers they re main as sileritias the grave on this important question. A prohibition bill with teeth—big long teeth—bas'been introduced in the legislature. Should this bill be come a law the express companies will be dry carriers sure: enough., No person can’ order more than tw.o quarts per year, and to order even these two quarts he must needs go ■ before the clerk of the court and make affidavit jthat said booze is for sickness only, j Yea, verily, it would : seem that thej mail order whiskey house is to be !put out of business and the moonshine still be' operated in lieu thereof . But'the bill has not yet become a lgw. There are a number-of citizens in Davie county who do not take a pa per of any kind, and there are many who take fromtone to a dozen papers that are printed outside their own ^county and refuse to take a home paper. Such people are not inter* ested in the future growth and wel fare of their county, and cannot be as good citizen^ as those who stand by home enterprises. No other agency does rriore for the growth and development of the community than-the local! paper. It is every man’s duty as jwell as his privilege to support the local paper. Some of you fellows who never had a million dollars like us editors don’t know,,of course, how to pile stacks up. We will put you on: When ypu have a million dollar bills and pile them up fiat on top ’of each other ■and want to take off the top you will i have to reach 2&7 feet. If you lay j.' .them down end by end yOu will have to walk eleven and three fourth miles. Ifyou !have the amount in silver dollars, the pile would be one . and a half miles high. And so on. we know, because we tried it the" other night, but the bed slat broke and we.woke. ujL-^Greeneville. Bpn. Saturday, Febniaty Tenth. Mr. EditoK-We hope Saturday, Feb. IOth will be Remarkable in the history p t Davie county. We hope the farmers, the business men from every nook and comer of the county will lay aside their work and come out and give one day to mat ters of importance to Cvery taxpayer in the county. Ourroad law needs amend ing or making over. It is (dumsy, unfair in many of its provisions, and provides for too many1 officers and gives too much power and authority to- one man. The law abolishing the.office of county treas urer is not what the people want or voted for, as I understand it—the office is abol ished conditionally; it should be amended in such a way that if neithe'rof the banks will disburse the funds, that the authority to pay out the monies will devolve upon the sheriff or tax collector. The idea of letting out our offices to the lowest bid- der'is repugnant to the pride of every proud Davieite. That provision in the law sounds like something that took place in one of the county conventions -last year. It's a useless office," and most of the expense can be saved to the taxpay- eis. The auditing of the books should go back to 1910 to start with and should cover the $175,000 road expenditures. Also the court house repair bilL Person ally I cannot understand why the Davie county officers are objecting to and op posing the auditing of the county books.. If they have'done no wrong it will be a vindication. If they have made mistakes it will give them a chance to correct and explain them, - Come out, everybody, and let's meet our representative and tell him what we want done in the interest of the people, the taxpayers, Saturday, Feb. 10th, at 10 o'clock.

The oldest inhabitant hasn't been heard from yet, but all the others have expressed the opinion that Fri day night was the coldest in the his- tory of the town. The thermome ters began falling Thursday and made no halt until Saturday morn ing at 6:30 o’clock when the instru ment at the U. S. Postoffice reached a stage of 2 degrees on the wrong side of zero, which was 10 degrees below the December cold weather when thermometers registered 8 de grees above zero. The weather was raw all day Friday, with a wind ve locity of nearly 40 miles per hour. But few people were to be seen on the streets. The cold wave was . in tensified by the warm weather of Wednesday, when the. temperature registered about 73 degrees. Some thermometers registered as jow as 8 degrees below zero early Saturday morning in different parts of the town Freezing temperatures were reported as far south as FloHda and Louisiana, while the Dakotak r°port- /ed.38 degrees below zero. We are all hoping that the groundhog froze to death, and that the backbone of winter has been completely smashed. A Blhzafd Strikes Davie. One of the worst blizzards . ever recalled^by the oldest inhabitant, struck this section Sunday night. At 7 o’clock Sunday night thd moon was shining’ and the thermometer registered 44 degrees aboi/e zero. In the spacepf a little" over, an hour the wind was blowing at a 70-mile an hour clip* and the snow was so thick that travel was out oif. the question. By eleven o’clock the blizzard was over and the mercury, was headed .toward the bottomless pit. At 6 o’clock Monday morning the tempeiature was 4 degrees bt- Iow zero, a fall of 48 degrees in^elS than 12 hours. A number of win dow panes throughout the town Wajs blown out. and possibly other dan - age done. We thought Saturday morning was cold, but not so. The folks who have been sneering at the groundhog should remove their hats and apologize. ; Let’s all hope, that the worst is now> over. V" r Favors A Bond Issue. Elditor Record:—I would like to say a few words in the" columns .of your valuable paper in regard to the roads of Davie county. I think that it would be a wise act to issue bonds for $100,000 to complete the roads of our county. We could issue the bonds, let them mature in 40 years and just pay the interest on them, and at the expiration of the forty years, issue more bonds and pay off the first. Thatwill beat a special tax. Special tax has proved to be an absolute failure in every county in North Carolina. The only way in which a county has secured a system of good roads is'through the issuing of bonds.Somepeoplesay themoney we’ve already spent has not done any good, but that is a mistake. While our money has not all been spent intelli gently, it has done good. You kick er on good roads will never be able to find a man with 100 per' cent of. efficiency. If the people of Davie county will stop and think they will see the need of good roads. The majority of our roads are graded, and give us $100,000 more and we can finish the grading and soil every mile of the important roads in Davie county. We can do more with $100,- 000 now than we did with the.$175,- 000 already spent. A" county with out good roads is a failure in the 20th century. It would have been all right during the life of Daniel Boone, but will not do for this pro gressive age. . Here is Davie county, one of the best counties in North Garolina, bounded on the north by Forsyth; with a system of good roads; on the east by Davidson, with a system of good roads; on the'south by Rowan, and on the west by Ire dell, with the sathe system of good roads. It certainly looks like Davie should have the same system. We have men in Davie county who can think and manage the business, as good as any county in North Caro lina. I put confidence in these men and know that they will try to spend every dollar of our money intelli gently. When men get to the point that they put no confidence in their fellowmen they are in a bad condit ion. Shall we lay down our job and give up, or shall we put our shoulder to the Wheel and push forward? What would you think of a farmer who would not plant his crop when the time comes, just because he did not get a full crop last year? Would you call him a business man? What would you think of a man who had forty acres of wheat to harvest and had only enough money to harvest thirty acres and leave the other to waste? Would it be a wise act? No You would say that that man had no business about him. Now that is the shape we are in at the present time with our roads. Yours truly, G. TOLBERT. Jurors For February Court.

Nation is Now on Verge of War. WAS AMONG LOST Washington.—The severance of dip- laaatic relations with Germany was formally announced to the country and the world by President Wilson at a Joint session of Congress Satur day. February 3. at 2 o’clock. Fervently invoking the guidance of Almighty God In the step he had taken, the President, speaking de liberately and with great solemnity, eaid: '•Gentlemen of the Congress: “The Imperial German Government •on the 31st of January announced to this Government and to the Govern ments of the other neutral Nations that on and after the first day of Feb ruary. the present month, it would Silopt a policy with regard to the use oi submarines against all shipping seeking to pass through certain des ignated areas of the high seas to which it is clearly my duty to call your attention. “Let me remind the Congress that on the Sth of April last in view of the sinking on the 24th of March of the cross-channel passenger steamer Sussex by a German submarine, with out summons or warning and the consequent loss "of the lives of sev eral citizens of the TJuited States who were passengers aboard her, this Government addressed a note to the Imperial German Government, in which it made the following declara tion: " ‘If it is still the purpose of the Imperial Government to proseeut re lentless and indiscriminate warfare against vessels of commerce by the use of submarines without regard to what the Oovernment of the United States must consider the sacred and indisputable rules of international law and the universally recognized dictates of humanity, the Government Cf the United States is at last forc'ed to the conclusion that there is but -one course it can puisue. Unless the Imperial Government should notv im- 1916, it announced that it wojutd take in the event that the German Gov ernment did not declare and effect an abandonment of the methods of submarine warfare which it was then employing and to which it now pur poses again to resort. "I have, therefore, directed the Sec retary of State to announce to His Excellency, the German Ambassador, that all diplomatic relations between the United States and the German Empire are severe'd, and that the American Ambassador at Berlin will immediately be withdrawn; and, in accordance with this decision, to hand to His Excellency his passports. "Notwithstanding this unexpected action of the German Government, this sudden and deeply deplorable, renunctiation of its assurances, given this Government at one of the most critical moments, of tension in the re lations of the two Governments. I ref.us^ to. believe that it is. the inten tion of "the Germa'h authorities to’do in fact what they have warned us they wlli feel at liberty to do. I can not brihg myself to believe that they will indeed pay no regard to the an cient friendship between their people' and our own, or to the solemn obli gations which have been exchanged between them and destroy American ships and take the lives of American citizens in the wilfull prosecution of the ruthless naval program they have announced their intention to adopt. Only actual overt acts on their part can make me believe to even now.

The official statement says that the survivors of the Eavestone, who were landed report that their ship was sunk by shell Are from a German submarine, that the crew abandoned the sinking vessel and the submarine then shelled the boats in which they took refuge, killing the captain and three seamen and severely wounding the second mate. - - The official statement says: “Survivors'of the steamship Eaves tone, who landed today, report that tliejr ship was sunk by shellfire from a German submarine.

Washington.—Congress has over riden a veto by President Wilson tpr the first time, and. enacted into law the immigration bill with its long-fought literacy test provision... The Senate voted 62 to 19 to pass the measure notwithstanding the veto and in spite of eleventh hour information that Ja- • pan again, had protested against the language, of the Asiatic exclusion sec tion. — The House overturned the veto by a vote of 287 to 106. so the Senate’s ac tion ends the contest of 20 years’ stind- ing in which three presidents have re pudiated similar bills passed by Con gress.

" ‘But,’ it added, ‘neutrals cannot expect that Germany, forced to fight for her existence, shall, for the sake of neutral interests, restrict the use °f an effective weapon if her enemy is permitted to continue to apply at win methods of warfare violating the rules of internatjoal law. Such a de mand would be inocmpatible with the character of neutrality, and the Ger man Government is convinced that the Government of the United States does not think of ’making such a de mand, knowing that' the Government Cf the United States, has repeatedly declared that it is determined to re- siore the principle of the freedom of the seas, from whatever quarter it has been violated.’ No Contingencies. "To this the Government of the United States replied on the 8th of. ^ay, accepting, of course, the assur ances given, but adding: “‘The Government of the.

We wish to serve no selfish ends. We seek merely to stand true alike in thought and in action to the immemorial principles of our people which I have sought to ex press in my address to the Senate only two weeks ago—seek merely to vindicate our right to liberty and jus tice and an unmolested life. These are the bases of peace.' not war. God grant that 'we may not be challenged to defend them by acts of wilful in justice on the part of the Government of Germany.” , - BERLIN ACCEPTS BREAK WITH UNITED STATES CALMLY. NEW YORK GUARDSMEN ARE CALLED TO COLORS. New York.—The entire National Guard or New York State and the Navy militia were ordered out by Gov. ernor Whitman after a conference with Maj. Gen. John F. O’Ryan. General O’Ryan was directed to have every arsenal, armory and water shed adequately guarded by the milit iamen, and Commodore Forshew, of the Naval Militia, was ordered to pro tect all bridges. BLOCKADE ZONES DECLARED BY KAISER BRlTlS ISLES A itS fmrRANCE Press Coriiment is Moderate and Ex presses No Surprise. Berlin, via London.—The morning newspapers treat the breach in diplo matic relations between the United States and Germany as a matter of i great gravity, but all the editorials are pitched in a calm and moderate tone. The avoidance of insulting, lan guage and cutting epithets is espe cially noticeable Most of the news papers say the news created no sur prise. some of them explaining that this step was" expected in view of President W ilson's. message of last April and others that it jvas antici pated in view of the President's “con tinual siding with the Entente since the w.ar began.” All the newspapers strongly reject the imputation that Germany has broken her promise made in her note of May 4,-"laying stress upon the fact that Germany's promise was expressly conditioned on PresIaent Wilson’s suc cess in bringing England to an ob servance of the laws of Nations. A number of the papers adopt the regretful tone over the wreck of the old friendship between the two coun- trels, which they say Germany risked only because her life interests were at stake. It is generally assumed by the newspapers that the United. States will make an early declaration of war against Germany, for they say the submarine campaign can hardly be prosecuted without the loss of some American lives.- While the entrance of the United States into the ranks of Germany’s enemies would be highly regretable, the newspapers. say the country must meet this danger as the lesor of two evils. The danger of the United States as a war factor is treated as comparatively unimportant, owing to the remoteness of the area of war and the time that would be required to create an army. The opinion is evinc ed in some qaurters that the submar ines will decide the war- before the United States can take an active naud. WALLACE MAY HAVE LIVED AT QUEENSTOWN.

WITH THE STATE LAWMAKERS Resume of the Doings of the General Assembly During the Past Week Told In a Brief and Interesting Way For Our Many Readers. Raleigh. '.- With the official bill for providing optional forms of municipal govern ment, under the constitutional, amend ments, introduced in the House by Representative Pegram, of Durham, 1 and a duplicate of this bill on the hands of Senator Brenizer, of Meck lenburg,, and his special . Senate com mittee, tor preparing. a: suitable hill or bills' for . the Senate oin this subject, the work of developing the legislation necessary for • governing the munici palities under the changed conditions is at last under, way and progress is promised all along the line. ' The forms of government that may be adopted under ■ the bills are aldermanic and commission. There are being-worked out changes in the time for elections prescribed, some thinking that the late Summer is too late for the best interests of some of the cities. Espe cially are the citizens o£ Charlotte, Senator Brenizer’s home town, anxious to vote this spring. This whole mat ter will be worked over ,within the next few days by Mr. Brenizer and his committee and then the bill will ,,be reported from committee in both houses for speedy enactment. The House passed the Murphy bill for a state boiler inspector to work under the direction of the .Depart ment of Labor. ‘ An amendment to cut the inspection, fee • from- $50 to $30 was killed. The senate passed the bill by Senator Gray, of Forsyth, to in crease the penalty for pistol toting so the first offense-shall incur $51 fine or 31-days , in jail In subsequent of fenses graduated in severity, second offense being $100 fine. A joint committee of the House and Senate heard argument on the Cieve- Iand-Gaston county row -over the Kings Mountain annexation matter and voted to report favorabiy the bill to validate the Kings Mountain elec tion which 71 majority was given for annexing to Cleveland county. A suit has been pending in which Gaston •charges- that the Cleveland. forces practiced fraud in the election. The hearing was a lengthy one but both committees were practically unani mous for the Cleveland side of the controversy. Another bill which will figure prom inently was the school book bill. The purpose of this bill is to reduce school books for a period of five years. The following Senate bills passed .final reading: Put Beaufort- county , under statewide primary law; veal law for Lincoln and Catawba counties; pro vide prison board in Madison county; prevent depredations by domestic ani mals in Madison county; taxing dogs in Camden county; amend Rowan county dog law; protection of minors; give lodging house keepers leins on baggage for bills; allow educational, charitable and penal institutions not under control of the state to amend their charters (a bill made necessary by the -constitutional amendments); authorize auditor, of Buncombe coun ty to employ an assistant. The House ordered printed the Anti-Saloon League prohibitin. bill, that was introduced by Representa tive Gardner,, “by. request,” and the House committee on liquor traffic, and the Senate committee on proposi tions and grievances, have agreed on a ' joint hearing on the bill February I. It would limit liquors to two quarts of whiskey, or three gallons of beer or wines, per year and that strictly for medicinal purposes, ob tained through most intricate and exacting red tape. Gardner, the in troducer, says it is not such a bill as he would have introduced. Ar dent prohibitionist that he is, how ever, he expects to support it in the 'main. ' House bills passed final reading as lows: Amend Cherokee game laws rel ative to the closed season; repeal the 1915 act relative to the road tax in Rlchlands Township, Onslow county; amend the regulations as to the use of -automobiles1 ip the state by imposing additional punishment in cases of trespass by automobiles. The coun- 'tie s of Bertie, Bladen, Cherokee, Ala mance, Avery, Polk and Pender were ~ exempted from ' the operation of the act. The education bill was reintroduced into the lower house. The purpose In this was to get it in shape for dis cussion and save it from a parliament ary tangle. The House received from the Edu cation Committee unfavorable reports on all bills for change , in the present policy of appointing; county hoards of education, this action being taken as favorable to "status quo” in this much discussed issue. Notice of minority report, at least of the Page and the pates bills, was given .consideration- and the whole matter set for special order a week liance, Declaration like that by Senator Person, .of Franklin, that he would never vote to enact into law a dis senting opinion of the Supreme Court, that by Justice, of ■ Henderson, that he opposed the measure In the inter est of the poor poeple In bis count? already paying 15 or 20 per cent in terest and loan charges because of restrictions already thrown around I^ans, and that by Senator Long, of Halifax, that further hindrance to liquidation of land mortgages would retard and might arrest North Caro lina investments by outside capital, characterized a fatal assault that was made in the Senate on a House bill by Clark of Pitt to make the state usury law apply to debts secured by mortagegs'and deeds of trust. It was a long and exceptionally spirited discussion and ended in a vote of .13 to 32 against the measure, which bad'passed the House some days ago. The dissenting- opinion sought to be made the law was that of Chief Jus tice Clark in the famous case of Corey vs. Hooker, in which the Chief Justice delivered his dissent, which the bill killed would make the law. Senator Holderness and other law yers argued the lack of necessity for such liegislation anyway, since this case went off more on the ground that the plaintiff did not “have clean hands’ In his dealings with the de fendant- prior to the alleged cause of action. Bills passed’ final reading as fol lows: Amend the law as to peddlers' license tax’in Sampson county. Abol ish county recorders court; relating to Deep Creek Township,- Yadkin county; make statewide primary ap ply to Craven count; incorporate Pleasant Hill Baptist church, Macon county, authorize the payment of debt for Burke County Confederate monu ment; allow Burke couuty commis sioners to employ special officers; repeal the act allowing High Point to issue sewerage extension bonds; in corporate negro fair of Johnston county. • The House voted down a bill to provide for the care and supervision of children on playgrounds in Polk county. House bills passed final reading as follows: Amend the Yancey road law;, amend the. law. as to Mount Olive schools; amend the law as to the Mount Olive schools; amend the law as to the residence of the police justice of Asheville outside of the city; against operation of slot ma chines in Cabarrus county; amend the Harnett game laws. The House con curred in a separate amendment ’ to the. bill to abolish the Madison county recorder’s court, making its termina tion June I instead of February I. Representative Ferebee, of Camden county, procured immediate passage for a bill he introduced to authorize a special way across Diamond Swamp and another” by Representative Hin ton for bonds for the same purpose took its place on the calendar. Senator Scales offered in the Sen ate, the State Bar Associatioii bill, providing machinery for amending the charters of charitable and penal institutions, through the Secretary of State, much as commercial charters are now issued or amended, the bill being one of those made necessary by the Constitutional ' amendments limiting legislation. The new machin ery requires action by the trustees of the institution and then formal ap plication to hte State Department for the amendment -desired. The Senate passed a bill putting husband and wife on equally the same footing in suits for divorce. The House took under considera tion the bill of Representative Clark, of Pitt, to provide for appeals from rulings of the Corporation Commis sion, a bill designed to meet such cases as that from Anson county, where, there was not possible any ap peal from the ruling of the commis sion as to the location of the Anson- ville depot of the ,Winston-Salem Southbound Railroad, under the rul ing of the Supreme Court, The bill was killed, 95 to 7. An especially notable bill introduc ed was that in the Senate, by Sena tor Brenizer to provide a change in the oecunting systems of the state depart ments, state institutions and in coun ties, and also to provide a special system for municipalities, where the authorities of the municipalities de cide to adopt such a system. House bills passed final reading as follows: Abolish treasurer’s office in Yancey; regulate deputy clerks .In Cherokee, relating to automobile tax and applying 90 per cent to the county in which the tax originates; repeal a road law for Marsh Township, Surry county; amend the Pender road law. The House and Senate are both, getting ready to press along the leg islation as to counties, cities and towns made necessary at this session by the adoption of the constitutional amendments. • Senator Brenizer, in the Senate, and Representative Dal ton, in the House, pressed these mat- f ters with resolutions for a joint com mittee, to get busy on these bills. The following Senate'bills passed final' reading: Prohibit the misbrand ing and adulteration of drugs; regu late civil terms of court; prohibit the sale or advertising of rem edies, pur porting to care incurable diseases. Senator Warren put in a bill to .divide- the state into eastern and west ern judicial divisions with 24 judicial districts and'a rotation in the service of judges, that will ieave. two Judges always available for assignment by the Governor to hold- emergency; courts wherever needed to take the place Cf any unable to fill engagements- - Brief Notes Covering Happenings In Thia State That Are of interest to AU the People.

Measures Calling for Distribution of Million*1 for-'Unnecessary. Publie Buildings Not, Eyen'Allowed Proper Time for Debate. * ' 1 Xhe public buildings bill of .1913 ap propriated more than 40,000,000. It was full of wasteful projects, the New York Times asserts. It sowed un necessary costly public buildings all over the country. It was flat spoliation of the treasury. Its opponents had 20 minutes for a bill o f. 50 pages granting $40,000,000! It was passed in the house under suspension of the rules. Discussion was choked. So helpless was the American people when $40,000,000 of its money was chucked away. To the American people in 1016 the house: committee on rules 'is only a little kinder; to the $35,000,000 pub-, lie buildings bill of IOlG only a little less . kind . . Recently this, committee reported a rule .limiting debate on the bill to. four hours and requiring a vote when the reading of the bill for amendment Js finished. Four-Hours for $35,000,000,000! This “gag rule” tp drive; through the house an enormous grab shows itself In the face of Secretary McAdoo’s notice of a treasury deficit Cf.,$135,000,000, That same day the house passed.the legisla tive, executive and judicial bill, which .provides an increase of wages or sal ary for .16,000.,government. employees and an increase of $500 a year to each representative’s secretary. On that same day. RefrresentaJive Rainey of Illinois,.a Democratic, mem ber of the ways and means committee; warned the house that the present rate there would be a deficit of $230,- 000,000 in 1918. Is the bouse crazy? A Lapse From Form. In his appointment of members of the federal shipping board, President Wilson has departed from Iiis custom and produced a very pleasant effect by naming two Republicans among the five gentlemen whose efforts it Is hoped, will be conducive to the up building of an American merchant ma rine. Sir. Wilson has had th» appoint ing of many officials to national posts of emolument or honor or both, from cabinet members and supreme judges and ambassadors extraordinary down -to collectors of ports, deputy consuls and small town postmasters, but so far as recollection attests, this is posi tively the first time he-has appointed any but "deserving Democrats.” What if one of tlie two Republicans is a New Orleans southerner, while the other is of Kansas City? What if the. Republicans draw only the short terms of two and' three years, while the long er terms of four, five and six years are reserved for the Democratic appoin tees? For that, matter, what if the law constituting the shipping board ex pressly stipulates that It must be bi-partisan to the extent, of a two- to-three ' minority representation? Though the statute left him no choice in the matter, Mr. Wilson’s appoint ment of the two Bepubllcans is still so wide a departure from his Invari able habit as to constitute a refresh ing novelty.—Cleveland Leader. . It would be hard to tell who is the ’most worried over the renewed possi bility of a railroad strike—President !Wilson or the brotherhood chiefs.’ The Old Bunk. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo .wants a higher tariff. This need not surprise anyone, as the Democratic party, instead of being a free-trade, direct-tax party, is a tarjff-for-revenue party. As such Jt hasn’t been work ing on the job very well, as we have had stamp taxes and other makeshifts in order to meet deficits, and also we have bond Issues. President Wil son proposes another issue! Paying current expenses by bond issues is a sorrowful- confession They may well look to their tariff for revenue pre tensions. r Will Bear Watching. Many people—or at least enough of them to count—are- curious about financial affairs. A few 'days ago the people noted the $243,000 appropria tion for free seeds with amazement. The public. buildings pork grab has also been examined with some care. These two measures alone are enough to arouse Interest In the revenue bill. ;They show that congress Is extrava gant, and with this reputation tp erase', that it will probably be very circum spect In its revenue plans. They show, furthermore, that the administration will bear a good deal of watching. Hard to Visualize. With due respect to Mr. Bryan, we cannot quite see the Democratic p'arty ■as a Prohibition party.—New York [World. Speaking of Pipe 'Dreams. Secretary McAdoo, the president’s ;Son-in-lnw, . apparently is /being !groomed for the Democratic succes sion, That he may be more in tiie center of the stat^ he has decided ,that he will not return to bi< business iin New York, but will stay In the fed eral treasury, where the president may grooin' him as the -white. horse for 1920.

The Nenana coal fields, Alaska, will be tributary to -the government rail road now • under construction from Seward to Fairbanks. Though the coal in'this field is lignite; and hence of lo\v grade, yet it has great value as'a source of fuel and power for Fairbanks and other Yukon placer camps. The field is about sixty miles south of Fairbanks. It estimated by. the United States geological survey* de partment of the interior, that the Ne- nana field contains some ten billion tons of lignite. The Nenana coal field lies In what Is known as the Bonni- field region, which also contains some gold placers that have been mined In a small way for the last ten years. The district is described in si report entitled “The Bonnifield Region, Alas ka” (bulletin 501), which can be ob tained on application to the director of the geological survey, Washington.

Irrespective of the elevated railroad system comprising the Second, TVrd, Sixth and Ninth avenue lines,' and the elevated portions of the Broadway and Lenox avenue sections of the subway, New York city has 42 bridges span ning the East and Harlem rivers, New town creek, and other waterways. These roads over rivers, including the Brooklyn, Manhattani Delancey street and Queensboro spans, among the greatest in the world, represent widi the real estate requisite for their ap proaches, an investment by the1 munici pality of more than $135,000,000.- • A P leasant Healthful Habit A daily ration of Grape-Nats and cream . is a splendid food for those who want vigor and energy. is a concentrated health-food made from choice whole wheat and -malted barley.

SPEARMANM S E C (Copyright by Chutes Scribner’s Sons) DE SPAIN PERSISTS IN HIS EFFORTS TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH NAN MORGAN—HE FALLS INTO A TRAP LAID BY THE GANG AND FACES IMMEDIATE DEATH The region around Sleepy Cat, a railroad division town in the ltocky Mountain mining country, is infested with' stage robbers, cat tle rustlers and guiimen. The worst of these belong to the Morgan gang, whose hang-out is in Morgan gap, a fertile valley about 20 miles from Sleepy Cat, and near Calabasas, a point where the horses are changed on the stage line from the Thief River mines to the railroad. Jeffries, superintendent of the Mountain division, decides to break up the depredations of the bad tuen and appoints Henry de Spain general manager of the stage line, with John DeFevre and Bob Scott, an In dian, as his assistants. They make Calabasas their headquarters. Trouble starts at once. The. principal bad men are Sassoon, Logan, Deaf Sandusky and TJale Morgan. De Spain foolishly becomes smit-' te n with pretty Nan Morgan, Gale’s cousin, but she ignores his over tures. When this installment opens De Spain and his aids are try ing to pick a fight with Logan and Sandusky in a gambling house! .CHAPTER Vll—Continued.. Ligan pushed back his chair. As he turned his legs from under the table to rise, a hand rested on his shoulder. He looked up and saw the brown face and feeble smile of Seott. Logan vvitli his nearest foot kicked Sandusky. Tho big fellow looked up and around. Either by chance or in following the sound of the last voice, his glance fell on De Spain. He scrutinized for a suspicious instant the burning eyes and the red mark low on the cheek. While lie did so—comprehension dawning on him—his enormous hands, forsaking the pile of chips with which both had been for a moment busy, flattened out, paints down, on the faro table. Logan tried to rise. Scott’s hand rested lienv- ily on him. “W hat’s the row?” de manded Sandusky in the queer tone oi a. deaf man. Logan pointed at De Spain. “That Medicine Bend duck wants a fight," “With a man, Logan; not with a cub,” retorted De Spain, matching in sult with insult. "Maybe I can do something for you,” interrupted Sandusky. His eyes ran like a flash around the table. He saw how Lefever had pre-empted the best place in the room. He looked up and back at the man standing now at his shoulder, and almost between Logan and himself. It was the Indian, Scott. Sandusky felt, as his faculties cleared and arranged themselves every in stant, that there was no hurry what ever about lifting his hand; but he could not be faced down without a show of resistance, and he concluded that for this occasion his tongue was the best weapon. "If I can,” he added stiffly, ‘Tm at your service.” De Spain made no answer beyond keeping his eyes on Sandusky’s eyes. Tenison, overhearing the lasit words, awoke to the situation and rose from his case. He made his way through the crowd around the disputants and brusquely directed the' dealer to close the game. While Sandusky was ‘cash- big in, Tenison took Logan aside. W hat Tenison said was not audible, but it sufficed to quiet the little fellow. The only thing further to be settled was as to. who should leave the room last, since neither party was willing to go first. Tenison, after a formal con ference with Lefever and Logan, of fered to take Sandusky and Logan by a private stairway to the billiard room, while Lefever took De Spain and Scott out by way of the main entrance. This was arranged, and when the railroad men reached the street rain had ceased falling. *? Scott warned De Spain to keep with in doors, and De Spain promised to do so. But when they left him he start- <4 out at once to see whether he could n«t, by some happy chance, encounter Nan. CHAPTER Vl 11. A Cup of Coffee. He was willing, after a long and bootless search, to confess to himself tbat he would rather see Nan Morgan for one minute than all women else in the world for a lifetime. The other incidents of the evening would have given any ordinary man enough food for reflection—indeed they did force Dc Spain to realize that his life would hang by a slender thread while he remained at Sleepy Cat and continued *o brave the rulers of the sinks. Hut this danger, which after all was ? Portion of his responsibility in free- lnS bis stages from the depredations °f the Calabasas gang, failed to make °u him the moving impression* of one moment of Nan Morgan’s eyes.' There was in the whole world ‘nothing he wanted to do so much as in some way; I Piease her—yet it seemed his ill uck to get continually deeper into uerbad graces. Every day that he rode across the open country, his eyes "!11160 to the far range and 'to Music n°untain. The rounded, distant, im mutable peak—majestic as the sun, oold as the stars, shrouding in its jin- uown fastnesses the mysteries of the ■iges and the secrets of time—meant *o him now this mountain girl whom-. UU^ 1UUUUUUU g u n YY UVAU s solitude sheltered and to whom his oughts continually came back. Within two weekd he became des perate; H e rode the gap .-trail from Sleepy Cat again and again for miles and miles in the effort to encounter her. He came to , know every ridge and hollow on it, every patch and stone between the lava beds and the Kat river. And in spite of the coun sels of his associates, who. warned him to beware of traps, he spent, under one pretext or. another,, much of the time either on the. stages to and from Calabasas or in the saddle toward Mor gan’s gap, looking for Nan. Killing time in this way, after a fruitless ride, his persistence was one day most unexpectedly rewarded. He had ridden through a hot sun from Sleepy Cat to Calabasas, where he had an appointment to meet Scott and Le- fever at five o’clock. When De Spain reached the Calabasas barn, McAlpin, the barn boss, was standing in the doorway. “You’d never be cornin’ from Sleepy Cat in the saddle!” ex claimed McAlpin incredulously. De Spain nodded affirmatively as he dis mounted. “Hot ri.de, sir; a hot day,” commented McAlpin- as he called a man to take the horse, unstrapped De Spain’s coat from the saddle, and fol lowed the manager into the office. The heat was oppressive,- and De Spain unbuckled his cartridge belt, slipped his revolver from the holster, mechanically stuck it inside his trou sers waistband, hung the heavy belt up under his coat, and, sitting down, called for the stage report and asked whether the new blacksmith had so bered up. When McAlpin had given him all minor information called for, De Spain walked with him out into the barn to 'inspect the horses. Passing the very last of the box-stalls, the manager saw in-It a pony. He stopped. This' wiry, sleek-looking roan, con tentedly munching at the moment some company hay, was'Nan Morgan’s. “What’s that horse doing here?” de manded De Spain coldly. Before answering, the barn boss eyed De Spain very carefully to see how the wind was setting, for the pony’s presence confessed an infrac tion of a very particular rule. “You. see,” he began, cocking at his strict boss from .below his visorless cap a questioning Scotch eye, “I like to keep on good terms with that Morgan gang. Some of them can be very u g ly .T h at little pony is Nan Morgan’s.” “What’s her horse doing here?” asked De Spain. McAlpin made even the most incon sequential approaches to a statement % “Hot Day, Sir; Hot Ride.” with a keen and questioning glance. “The girl went, up to the Cat on the early stage,: sir. She’s coming back this afternoon.” “W hat is she riding away over here to Calabasas for to take the, stage, in stead of riding straight into Sleepy Cat?”- ' ' ' O n q e more McAlpin eyed him care fully. "The girl's bepn sick.” ' “Sick?” “She ain’t really fit to ride a step,” confided the Scotch boss with growing confidence.' “But she’s been going up two or three times now to get some medicine from Doc Torpy—that’s the way of it. There’s a nice girl, sir— in a bunch o’ ruffians, I know—though old Duke, she lives with, he ain’t a half-bad man except for too many cards. I used to work for him—but I call her a nice girl. Do you happen to know her?” De Spain had long been on guard. “I’ve spoken with her in a business way once or twice. I can’t really say I know her. Anything sick, Jim?” j asked De Spain, walking, on down the barn and, looking at the horses. " It was only the. second time since he had given him the job that. De Spain had called the barn boss “Jim,” and Mc- Alpin answered with the rising assur ance of one who realizes he is “in” right. “Not.so much as a sore hoof in either alley, Mr. De Spain. I' try to take care of .them, sir.” . .“What are we paying you, Jim?” . . “Twenty-seven a week, sir; .pretty heavy work at th a t” “We’ll try to make it thirty-two after this week.” McAlpin touched his cap.. ‘Thank you kindiy, sir, I’m sure. It comes high to live out here, Mr. de Spain.” “What did you say,” asked De Spain indifferently, “had been the matter with Nan Morgan?” Her name* seemed a whole mouthful to speak, so fearful was he of betraying interest. “Why, I really didn’t say, sir. And I don’t know. But from what she says, and the way she coughs, I’m thinking it was a touch of this p-new-monia that's going around so much lately, sir.” His listener had already made all arrangements to meet the occasion now presenting itself. Circumstances seemed at last to favor him, and .'he looked at his watch. The down stage bringing Nan back would be due in less than an hour. "Jim,”, he said thoughtfully, “you are doing the right thing in showing some good-will toward the Morgans.” “Now, Tm glad you think that, sir.” “You. know I unintentionally rubbed their backs the wrong way in dragging Sassoon- out.” “They’re jealous of their power, I know—very jealous.” ‘T his seems the chance to show that I have no real animosity myself toward the outfit.” . Since De Spain was not looking at him, McAlpin cocked two keen and curious eyes' on the spbinxlike birth; mark of the very amiable speaker’s face. However, the astute boss, if he wondered, made no comment “When the stage comes in,” continued De Spain quietly, “have the two grays— Lady and Ben—hitched to my • own light wagon. - I’ll drive her over to the gap myself.” “The very' thing,” exclaimed McAl pin,- staring and struggling with his breath. “In some way I’ve happened, both times I talked with her, to get In wrong—understand?” McAlpin, with ,clearing wits, nodded more than once. “No fault of mine; it just happened so. And she may not at ,first take kindly to the idea of going with me.” “I see.” “But she ought to do it. She will be tired—it’s a long, dusty ride for a well woman,' let alone one that has been 111.” - “So it is, so it is!” De Spain looked now shamelessly at his ready-witted aid. “See that her pony is lame when she gets here— can’t be ridden. But you’ll take good care of-him and. send him home in a few days—get it?” McAlpin half closed his'eyes. “He’ll be so lamie it would stagger a cowboy to back him ten feet—and never .be hurt a mite, neither. Trust me!” • “If she insists on riding something, or even walking home,” continued De Spain dubiously, for he felt instinc tively that he should have the task of. his life to induce Nan to accept any kind of a peace-offering, “Til. ride or walk with her anyway. Can you sleep me here tonight, on the hay?” “Sleep you-on a hair mattress, sir. You’ve got a room right here upstairs; didn’t you know that?” .With arrangements so begun, De Spain walked out of doors and looked reflectively up the Sleepy. Cat road. One further refinement in his appeal for - Nan’s favor suggested itself. She would be hungry, possibly faint in the heat and dust, when she arrived. He returned to McAlpin: “Where can I get a good cup of coffee when the stage comes in?” “Go right down to the inn, sir. It’s a new chap running it—a half-witted man from Texas. My wife is cooking there off and on. She’ll fix yoii up a sandwich and a cup of good: coffee.” It was four o’clock, and the sun beat fiercely on the desert. De Spain walked down-to the inn unmindful of the heat. In summer rig, with his soft-shirt col lar turned under, his forearms bare, and his thoughts engaged, he made his way rapidly on, looking neither to. the right nor the left. As he approached the weather-beaten pile it looked no more inviting in sun shine than it had looked in shadow'; and, true to its traditions, not a living being was anywhere to be seen. The door of the office stood ajar. De Spain, pushing it all the way open, walked In. No One greeted him as he crossed the threshold, and the unsightly room was still bare of furnishings except for the bar, with its two broken mirrors. De Spain pounded on the bar. His effort to attract attention met with nd response. He walked to .the''left end of !the bar, lifted the handrail that inclosed the space behind it, and pushed open the door between the mir rors' leading to the back room. This, too, was empty. He called out—tliere was no response.'' MrS. McAlpin had apparently gone home for a while. Irritnted at the desertion of the place, due, he afterward learned, to ! the-heat of the afternoon, and disap-1 pointed at the frustration of hi's pur pose, he walked back to the office. As he lifted the handrail and, passing through, lowered it behind him, he took out his watch to see how soon the stage was due. While he held the time piece in his hand he heard a rapid clatter of hoofs approaching the place. Thinking it might be Scott and Lefe- ver arriving from Gie south an hour ahead of . time, he started toward the front door—which was still open—to greet them. Outside, hurried footsteps reached the door just ahead of him He Called Out—There Was No Re sponse. and a large man, stepping quickly into the room, confronted De Spain. One of the man’s bands rested lightly on his right side. De Spain recognized him instandy; the small, drooping head, carried well forward, the keen eyes, the loud-patterned, shabby waist coat proclaimed beyond doubt—Deaf Sandusky. CHAPTER IX. The Glass Button. Even as the big fellow stepped light ly just inside and to the left—as De Spain stood—of the door and faced him, the encounter seemed to De Spain accidentaL But before he could speak, a second man appeared In the door way, and thin man appeared to be jok ing with a third, behind'him. As the second man crossed the threshold, De Spain saw . Sandusky’s high-voiced little fighting crony, Logan, who now made way, a.s he stepped within to the right of the open door, for the swing ing shoulders and rolling stride of Gale Morgan. Morgan, eying D e-Spain with inso lence, as was his wont, closed the door behind him with a bang. Then he backed his powerful frame significant ly against it. A blind man could have seen the completeness of the snare. An unpleas ant feeling flashed across De Spain’s perception. It was only for the im measurable part of a second—while uncertainty was resolving itself into a rapid certainty. When Gale Morgan stepped into the Aiom on the heels of his two^ Calabasas friends, De Spain would have sold for less than a cup of coffee all bis chances for life. Nev ertheless,-before Morgan had set bis back fairly against the door and the trap was . sprung, De Spain had mapped his fight He did not' retreat from where he baited at the instant Sandusky entered. His one slender chance was to hug to the men that meant to kill him. Mor gan, the nearest, he esteemed the least dangerous of the three; but to think to escape both Sandusky and Logan at close quarters was, he knew, more than ought tp be hoped for.' While Morgan was closing the door, De Spain smiled at his visitors: “That isn’t necessary, Morgan—I’m not ready to run.” Morgan only continued1 to stare at him. “I need hardly ask,” added De Spain, “whether you fellows have business with me?” He looked to Sandusky for a reply; it. was. Logan; who answered in shrill falsetto: “No. We don’t happen to have business that I know of. A friend of ours may have a little, may be!" Logan, lifting his shoulders with his laugh,-looked toward his compan ions for an answer to his joke. De Spain’s smile appeared unruffled: “You’ll help him transact it, r sup pose?” Logani looking again toward San dusky, grinned: “He won’t need any help," ' “Who is your friend?” demanded De Spain good-naturedly. Logan’s glance misled him; it did not refer to San dusky. And even as he asked the ques tion De Spain heard through the half open window at the end of the bar the sound of hoofs. Hoping against hope for Lefever, the interruption cheered him. • It certainly did not seem that Iiis situation could be made worse. “Well,” answered Logan, talking again to his gallery of cronies, "we’ve got two or three friends that want to see you. They’re waiting outside to see what you’ll look like in about five minutes—ain’t they, Gale?” Someone was moving within the rear room. De Spain felt hope in every footfall he heard, and the mention of Morgan’s name cleared his pian of battle. Before Gale, with an oath, eoutd blurt out his answer, De Spain had . resolved to fight where he stood, taking Logan first and Morgan as he should jump in between the two. It was at the best a hopeless venture against Sandusky’s first shot, which De Spain knew was almost sure to reach a vital spot. But desperate men cannot be choosers. “There’s no time for seeing me like the present,” declared De Spain, ignor ing Morgan and addressing his words to. Logan. “Bring your friends in. What are you complaining about, Mor- gon?” he asked, resenting the stream of abuse Giat Gale hurled at him when ever he could .get a word in. “I had my turn at yoii with a rifle the other day. You’ve got your turn now. And I- call it a pretty soft one, too—don't you, Sandusky?” he demanded sud denly of the big fellow. - Sandusky alone through the talk had kept an unbroken silence. He was eating up De Spain with his eyes, and De Spain not only ached to hear him speak, but was resolved to make him. Sandusky had stood motionless from the instant he entered th'e room. His eyes rested intently on De Spain, ahd at his side the long fingers of his right hand beat a soft tattoo • against his pistol holster. De Spain’s question seemed to arouse him. “What’s your name?” he demanded bluntiy. His voice was heavy and his deafness was reflected in the strained tone. “It’s on the butt of my gun, San dusky." “What’s that he says?” demanded the man known as the butcher, asking the question -of Logan, but without taking his eyes off his shifty prey. Logan raised his voice to repeat the words and to add a ribald comment. “You make a good deal of noise,” muttered Sandusky, speaking again to De Spain. “That ought not to bother you much, .Sandusky,” shouted De Spain, trying' to win a smile from his taci turn antagonist “His noise won’t bother anybody much longer,” put in Logan, whose re torts overflowed at every interval. But there was no smile even'hinted at in the uncompromising vigilance of San dusky’s expressionless face. De Spain discounted the next few minutes for enough io feel that Sandusky’s first shot would mean death to him, even if he could return it. ‘T il tell you, De Spain,” continued Logan, “we’re going to have a drink with you. Then we’re going to prepare you for going back where you come from—with nice flowers.” “I guess you thought'you could come out here and run over everybody in the Spanish sinks,” interposed Morgan,* with every oath he could summon to load his words. “Keep out, Morgan,” exclaimed Lo gan testily. ‘TH do this talking.’* De Spain continued to banter. “Gen tlemen,” he said, addressing the three together and realizing that every mo ment wasted before the shooting added a. grain of hope, "I am ready to drink when you are.” “He’s ready to drink, Tom,” roared Morgan In the deaf man’s ear. ‘Tm ready,” announced Sandusky in hollow voice.

Should Be Important Source of In- come' From Farm Flock—Sell Broilers During Spring. Eggs for market should be the most important source of income from the farm flock, according to M. C. Kilpat rick of the Ohio, college of agriculture. There is a steadily increasing demand for fresh eggs of good quality at profit able prices. In addition eggs are pro duced with less labor than other poul try products and are more economical ly marketed. Poultry for market sBbuld bp the second source of Income. Under- pres ent conditions the larger part of the poultry meat produced on most farms is a by-product produced and sold, with little regard to the cost of production. The poultrymnn should plan his work so that while producing eggs for mar ket he may obtain considerable rev enue from the sale of broilers during early spring. GIVE CHICKENS GREEN FOOD During Winter Months Hen Must Be Given Something to Take Place of Bugs and Insects.

With a bible as his platform and and sermons aa his. political speeches, SyndD ey J.Catts, Jost in au g u rated Governor o f' Florida, stands today the most unique Ggare in aa American : gubernatorial chair! A reformer of ..the new school, a Prohibitionist with new bat drastic ideas, a former minister of the go& I^l pel who hasn’t forsaken his relig ion, Gatts entered the State Hoase alter fighting Florida’s most Btrenu ous political battle, defeating the nominee of the.all-Powertul Bemo cratic-party by pitting biblical quotations against mudelinging! His bible will reman on the Gdv ernor’s desk, nntill his term ends four years hence, and to it he will turn for counsel, rather than to political advisers—so Gatts; de ciares. “I have literal[y choked the devil out of politics in Florida,” declares the new Governor, “and . the devil is due another choking. I hope to have enacted legislation that will make our primary laws so plain and simple there will be no chance for fraud.” Gatts entered afive-eorneredrace - for the Democratic aomination for Governor last spring. On the face of. the returns he was the winner, over his nearest opponent by a few h uidered votes and received a certificate of nomination. A recount of certain precincts was demanded by the opposing side, and granted by the courts, and after months of suspense and' id-checking of votes a new certifi cate of nomination was awarded to W. N- Knott. Feeling he had cot bees treated fairly, Gatts annoaced he would enter the general election despite the Democratic certificate of nomi: nation held by hia opponent. > In year* gone by sach a move would have meant political sucide in Florida, but a political revolu tion swept over the State in the fall of 1916. and Gatts came out a victor by an overwhelming majori itJ‘Thus, for the first time since Be- construction days.

C., Jan. 10.—What has been one of the most pathetic incidents of this .community ended Sunday when Erwin Hicks who has been insane for nearly thirtj years, died of a complication of dieeaseB caused by exposure. Thirty years ago Erwin’s mother, a woman of twentytwo, left home to do some shopping in Elk Park, a town five miles north ol here. The lad, then about five years' old, followed her to the gate, where his mother told him that if he would stop crying she would bring him some candy on her return. With a good bye kiss which waB destined to be her last, Mrs. Hicks hurried away. A few hourB later a message came to her husband that she had been killed by a train of the E. T. & W. N. C. R. R. be tween Cranberry and Elk Park. The lad could not realize the truth ol the accident, even when the recmains of the unfortunate woman were brought home, and all that day he Btood at; ,the gate a- waiting the return of his mother with the promised candy. Mr. -Hicks was away from home during the day for many weeks and his housekeeper fonnd it impossible to keep the lad inside the hoase and. away from the gate, where he stood weeping for his mother. The constant anxiety proved too much for the boy’s mentat strength and slowly the boyish mind became a blank, with the exception of the. memory of his mother, which kept him at the gate from morn till nignt. The neighboros called to advise and insist, but no result came of their efforts. Erwin grew to be a man, but with; out a man’s mind, and day by day during the tedious years followed he spent most of his time at the gate exqecting the return of his mother with “ladies’ candy.” His health gradually weakened and last week he developed pneu monia. Complications began, and yesterday at noon ’ Erwin’s long period ol weary waiting ended when- death ended his -unhappy life. _________ Three Fashion Notes.

A grocer in Fond du Lac. Wis., has introduced an interesting sy stem; He calls it the “cash and carry system.” If hia customers pay cash for their goods he throwss off 5 per cent. - Ifthey carry their purchase hoihe he throws off another 5 per cent. If the family’s grocery bill i8$2ixa monthttiatmean a Baving of $2 50—which would make a tidy aj^diiiph (to the Baving bank bal: ance. The plan, it is reported, takes well with this grocer’s customers. Moreover, he is tickled with him self. It saved him the expense of putting on more delivery wagons, which he would have had to do if he hadn’t adopted this system. It has increased bis trade. It has given him the benefit of cash in the till instead of credit, on the books. It seems to be benefical all around^ It isn’t exactly new, of course. There are. shops that do something like the same thing; that is. by selling for cash only and doing no delivering,- they can and do sell goods cheaper, and many take ad vantage of the opportunity to be thrifty. The cost ot living is vastly high er than it used to be before the days of credit and telephone ortiei" icg, when mother used to put a pasket on her arm aud go shopp ing. Andoneof the reasons why the cost of living is higher is that credit and delivery both cost mon ey, to which, of course, the consu mers nave to pay . For The Man Who Works To Pay.

Sometniug hasto be done to raise money to build more battle ships, to pay for tbe big increase in the army and to meet that- deficit of a- bout three hundred million dollars. The big makers of gun powder and other war munitions have to be kept up. The war in Europia will stop one of these days and there will not be such a market tor mud- itions of war across, the seas—and then there will have to be a mark et for implements of destruction in tbis country. -The politicians want to get reany to pay tor the big gun, the'battle ships and the powder and the way to do it is to lay a tax upon those: who work.—monroe Enquirer. - L, 0. .Johnsonv jural mail carrier from lngolds.

We need the $40, but it would seem like blood money possibly, had we taken it. Our answer to this gentleman can be found in an article on our Io cal page, telling of the death of a mother and the agony suffered by six or seven child ten as the result of a worthless dog running at large. Yes, we need the $40, but rather than see one death from hydropho bia we are willing to sacrifice many dollars. We have done our duty and it is no fault of ours that Davie county’s representative hasn’t the backbone to tax the dog along with the hogs, horses and cattle. Read the article on the local page before stopping your paper. If we are right, then stand by us. A TRUTHFUL DEMOCRAT. Editor Mebane, of the Catawba County News is a Democrat, but he is a broad-minded fellow, and has a way of saying, what he thinks, re gardless of what his party may say. Listen to these two editorials: “ What lias become of the slogan: “He kepc us out of war.” The slo gan served well during the Campaign but the election is now over, it does not matter so much what folks think. ‘,When a county is Democratic by a safe majority they shy it does not put.the public schools into politics for the people to elect their school boards. For instance in MecKlen- . burg, Cleveland and Iredeli, but in counties like Wilkes, 1,200 Republi can would put schools into politics. . Fine reasoning this.” BUNCOED, BY HECK. W. G. Lee, president of the Broth- :. erhood of Railway trainmen, speak ing before the House Committed on interstate commerce, said: I - "I wish to God I had never re- ■ called the strike order. The - Adamson law hasn't done us ~ any good.” . . In other words Leeand his associ ate rail way order heads were wrong ; when they advised the rank and file of the brotherhood membership that I igK fhe Adamson.law was anything else y than a piece of political bunk. Yet 1793, DAVILCOUNTY SO TEARS AGO. I t o t a C w o y OffiMW-A S b tek of Generii William R. I will try to give your good read' era a few articles on Davie; what it was 50 or more years ago; its citi zens and its civilization, compared with that of the present. In thus writing of the past with a pen of the present, dipped in hope of the future, we sometimes find ourself happy and sometimes sad, a commingling together of joys, and sorrows. But it;,takes all this to prepare one for the real duties Ofj this life, and for the merited joys of the life to come. Aswelookbackat the dear old past, our heart grows heavy at the remembrance of all the miles, with their steep hills, rocky roads and dark valleys, that lie between us, Yet we can scarcely believe it is so distant from us, after all. And while it is true we are, in a sense parted and every parting is a form of death, yet it is also true that some day there will be a blessed reunion which is a type of heaven, where there is no parting, nor past, pres ent or future, but one great now - one eternal day. Daviecounty was formed from Rowan county in 1836. \ j Its first of ficers were: Sheriff, Thos. Foster: Clerk, John Clement; Register of Deeds, Braxton Bailey. At that time, Fulton was the oldest, largest and most noted village in the new county., Mocksville,lithe county seat, was located at or on Mock’s old field, from whence it got its name. And for years.it was known as, and called Mock’s Old Field. In this connection it will interest many to know for whom the county was named—was christened. It was named after Governor W. R. Davie. He was born in England in 1756. His father brought him to this coun try in 1763, and left him in the care of his maternal uncle, Rev. William Richardson, a Presbyterian minister residing on the Catawba river just over the linein South Carolina. His uncle adopted and educated him in Gharlotte high school, then at Prince ton College where he took the de gree of Bachelor of Arts with high est honor. Davie selected the pro fession of law and began his studies at Salisbury. In 1779, Davie joined a .company in the Salisbury district, and was elected lieutenant.. By his bravery and tact he soon rose to Colonel. He was in the raid on May 30, 1780, a- gainst the eleven hundred tories gathered at Ramsour's Mills near Lincolnton. The tories were com pletely demolished. He did much brave and victorious fighting along the Catawba ar,d in and around Charlotte, Whichj was then only a village of about twenty houses, built on two streets, with a court house The war being over, he resumed the practice of law in February, 1783, married Miss Sarah Jones, and settled in the town of Halifax,which was practically the eapitol' of the State. Hedeveloped into a great lawyer. _ The State was then divided into only seven judicial districts, and he attended them all. During his sixteen years of practice, there was not a capital trial in the State that he was not retained for the defense. . He was also a friend of education. In 1786, he obtained from: the Gen eral Assembly the charter of War- renton Academy. He was chosen eight times to represent the borough of Halifax.in the House of Commons. In 1789, he addressed that body for. a loan of money to erect the build ings of our State University, and is its real founder, and is so styled in the journal of that institution for 1810. In 1792, he was elected by the Masons as State Grand Master, and was re-elected seven successive years. In this capacity, he laid the corner stone of the old.

The ground hog done well this year by -getting back in bis hole before he froze to death. Hope we will not have six weeks like that day. Rev. N. D. Bodie has been down some weeks with grippe, and now his "daughter MuriUbout 16 years old, is seriously Ul with blood poison. Mr. George D. Feeler has a very sick child with bronchial pneumonia. Mr. Albert Lyerly lost a child this week from measles. _ Whooping cough, mumps and measles are prevalent in this sec tion. Many others around are just able to be up. "We are real sorry to bear of the serious condition of Rev. W. R. Ketchie. Hope his friends in deed will be friends in this time of need. We would be-glad -to see some items from .St. Matthews, giving the condition of all those dear people: There is some excitement here over the break with Getmany We cannot under stand why the United States should be'so bard on the Cenual Powers and so friend ly to the Ententees. ^.Germany has . been much the most friendly to us. It seems that Wilson is a servant of Great Britain. GermanyJhas pielded to our demands un til circumstances forced her to do other wise, but England yields nothing.. Wilson has asked several things of his master. Great Britain, but when the master re fused to grant-it, the servant, submitted. Now, this submarine warfare is an aw ful thing, but who is the fault of it? . We answer, it rests upon the Allies or the United States for not making the Allies hear to our demands. Now to fall out with Germany when we are to blame, is not consistency. Great Britain has been much more disobedient than Germany. Why not fall out with her? Is it because Wilson is afraid of his master? Some say. -this action of Germany is an insult. If so, the same can be said of the Allies Yes, Huerta insulted us aud we were go ing to bring him to his knees in a short time, but what did we do? Now Obser ver thinks we had better not be too fast, because we are abusing one of our best friends, and Germany is still friendly to us. She has never proposed war to" us. Why then has Wilson got bis bristles standing so high? Many prayers are of fered for Germany. With the Lord, the race does not belong to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. OBSERVER.

HeisJiHjking for six more weefiTof winteH Abolishing County Treasurer. StatesviIIeSentiDeL to view of the faCt that Representative Mathesop has introduced a bill to abolish the county treasurer, we fail to see any wisdom in advocating a move of.this character. The very principle of the question is absurd from a business stand point and business is what we need in our county affairs. We suppose it is the intention of those advocating it to have the banks handle the funds of the coun ty. This is impracticable and further more no bank is going to handle without compensation. The funds of the county are worth absolutely nothing to a bank, from a financial standpoint. The idea prevails that the funds of the connty aie worth much, but the truth of the matter is, as a rule the county has no- funds to amount to anything and in - some instan ces is overdrawn at the bank. Any one at all familiar, with banking knows that banks only keep a skeleton book account and in order to keep track of what each payment was for and what each deposit covered, an extra set of books would have to be kept. The bank is not going to do. this additional work, which would require the service of one man, for accomodation. Why don’t the Statesville Cotton Mill or any other manufacturing plant of the city do away with their treasurer and let the bank keep these books and funds. Set thg precedent and turn the bank into a book-keeping establishment. ' Even though they would do this, the place for those books gre at theis respective places of business jrnd not at the bank. The Ideu is preposterous. - Put a good man in as treasurer, which he have, and then see -that the accounts are kept right. See that proper books are kept showing ex actly what each transaction represents and pay him a salary that "will enable him to do the. work right. The county can’t afford to be •‘niggeriy.’' Ths world today is recognizing more and more" and the large manufacturing plants are put ting the information into practice, in or der to have a thing done right, it is cheap est to pay the price, and haye it done right. The county can’t expect to get their books kept for nothing. " They have no right to expect it. The county should, however, see .that .the books are kept right and an audit made annually to see that they are. . There is yet another side to the ques tion of getting banks to carry the accounts. We do not think that the advocates of this biff could for one moment think of distributing the county business around with the different banks of the county. The account woiild at least have to be placed with one bank and that bank paid j to handle it. Now, when you do this you j are going to drag the banks into politics, j The very first election the cry will bej raised, “what bank are they going to give j the county funds,’’ and instead of elect- j ing commissioners upon their own records I we will elect men favorable to some! bank. The bank in this way will, make I some enemies and be placed where i t ' should not be. Each bank in Statesville is a milestone in the march of progress of the city and should be absolutely free from partisanship of - any kind. No, it hasn’t the first rudiments of' business. The county needs' a treasurer and need not expect to get the work done for nothing. 1 .

Halpin, former police captain ■and chief of detectives of Chicago, con victed in 1915 of bribery and conspir erv, must serve from one to five years In the penitentiary, as the Illinois su preme court refuses to take up his •case. Ehc-President Taft, speaking in Phil adelphia, said that the policy of Wash ington and Jefferson-regarding entan gling alliances was ,obsolete,, and that the country must prepare to disregard that policy, as when this nation was given that warning it had only four million souls, but how has over one hundred million people. Leading representatives of all in dustrial classes, capitalists, labor lead ers. agriculturalists and professional men will compose a committee of fifty appointed in New York City to co operate with the federal government, if the necessity arises, for national de fense. The plan announced in Philadelphia for the organization of an intercolle giate intelligence bureau to put at the disposal of the United States .govern ment the trained resources of the col lege world, has received the endorse-: mer.t of Secretaries Daniels and Baker. There is no immediate prospect of •cheaper paper for the printing world, according to reports made to the Na tional Paper Trade Association and the American Pulp and Paper Associa tion at their annual convention in New York City.

Possibly the most serious fact con fronting the American government in the German situation is the alleged de tention of Ambassador Gerard by the German government. If it is shown that the American ambassador was forcibly detained or subjected to in dignities of any kind, it will be very difficult for this government to over look it, as such action upon the part of Germany-would be contrary to all international Ihw and precedent.

It Is stated authoritatively that there is a perfect understanding be tween the United States and Japan on the working of. the new immigra tion law and that on neither side is there any apprehension of friction or difficulty. Besides breaking off diplomatic rela tions with Germany the- president has thade a bold'stroke to align all neu tral i&tions with his policy.

SEC DANIELS SUB6ESTS SPEED Copenhagen, via London. — Little hope or expectation prevails in Berlin that war with the United States is avoidable, or that a modus vivendi re conciling the policies of the two Gov ernments can be found. . There now is a desire on the part of the authorities and a vast bulk of the people to avoid actual hostilities' In any way consistent with, the general .lines of the present submarine policy, but only in such a way. Acordingly, Instructions were given, so the Asso ciated Press has been reliably-inform ed, to submarine commanders, before they.'started ■ pn their^FeIiftiary mis sion, to taike the safe side when neu tral vessels, ' particularly American, wer ein question, whenever possible. Enemy merchantment, when recognis ed as such, were ordered to be sunk at sight, -but neutral merchantmen were to oe warned when Budr-action. in tlieir judgment, was consistent with the object of the /campaign and the safety of their Own'ships. . ■ It is realized, however, that after the prompt and- resolute stand-taken by President Wilson, these orders could only be palliative and only de fer,-not avoid, an ultimate break. Al so, that if President Wilson stood by his announcement that the destruc tion of American lives or ships would be regarded as ah act of hostility, a casus belli must come sooner or la ter—probably sooner on account of the. number, of Americans on enemy ships. Moreover, there was the dis cretionary nature of the instructions to submarine' commanders, who were informed that while the careful course, toward neutrals was recommended and desired, they would no longer be sub jected to punishment for departing from, their former procedure of warn ing, if they found this advisable. It is considered that the only, pos If President Goes Before Congress i t ; Will Not Be to Declare War, But to Protect American Rights. Washington.—The course to be tak en’ by the U nited.

Eihergency measures awaiting ac tion in the_Senate include ^espionage and conspiracy bills recommended b7 the Attorney General, and amend ments to the shipping laws.

Rev enue legislation also will be pressed Jn the Senate within a few days. . Revenue Bill Approved. Democratic Senators, at-their third revenue caucus, finally approved, with amendments and pledged their support to the bill passed by the;’House to provide approximately $50,000,000 ad ditional reenue to meet the anticipated 'treasury-, deficit.

Since this call was issued February 3 instructing Red Cross chapters throughout the country to place them selves on a footirg for field work, many encouraging reports have been returned- to headquarters, together with a great flooc of personal offers of service. Eliot Wadsworth, acting chairman, ostimat-.d that the force which could be mobilized immediately f.n case of war would include: Twenty-six • completely equipped SiW and iiavy base hospital units, with a total personnel of 1,250 nurses aids. ' A hospital base reserve of 415 nurses and 525 nurses’- aids. A corps of expert instructors in sur gical dressings, totalling about 120. Thirty-two partially complete .navy detachments ofrifi) nurses each. One hundred and fifteen local emergency detachments. “With the customary assignment of 10 patients to each nurse,” he added “we could thus take care of 50,000 sick and wounded at once. In the earlier stages of war, the proportion of sick and wounded is about five par cent. In other words, we are.prepared today to give expert nursing service to an army of 1,000,000 men. “No National emergency has ever found the Red Cross better prepared than it is today.” ; INCREASED RATE ON - SECOND CLASS MAiL.

No belligerent on either side will equal her. • Other nations, or empires, have Iargtr populations; but none lias so .many intelligent, energetic citizens of the type from which', universal experi ence'shows, the best-lighting material comes. No otlier natiou can approach Iier in natural resources. No other nution can- approach her in actual wealth. No other nation can approach her In self-efficiency and ability to llourish without outside assistance of any sort. No other nation can approach .her, history shows, in the invention of new weapons of war; and leading Ameri can military men know that this fac tor- takes a very important position in tlie calculations of foreign military councils when estimating the ability of the United States to resist or to attack. \ • • The population of the United States and its colonial possessions is nearly - as large as the combined population of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The entrance of the United States into the war would add to the re sources of the entente a national stock of gold as large as the com bined gold reserve of France, ltussia and Great Britain. When the gold in private hands is considered the preponderance of Uncle Sam is still more impressive. The gold stock of ■■the central powers together is only' about one-lifth of ours. But iron, steel and copper* ami ■ still more important "in--war than gold, and '-here-the United States shines so bril liantly as to dim the rest of the world. The United -States produces more pig iron than all the other countries of the world combined. The central powers’ ,pig iron pro duction is equivalent td three-eighths ot this country’s production. ' Great Britaiu, France and Russia combined produce only a little more- than hn.lf the amount mined and smelted here. <■ But when we come to copper, that indispensable of war, the full impor tance of the United States'is realized. - In 1916 the United States produced twice as much copper as the rest of the world. : The central powers produce about one twenty-fourth as much copper as the United States. Great Britain, with all her colonies, produces only, one-twelfth as much. In industrial development and large- scale production, American energy and ingenuity lead the world. While exact figures are lacking, it is known certainly that the United States has more than four times as many automobiles as all of the rest of the world put together. And the rate of production is putting this coun try farther ahead in automobile own ership every moment, despite vast ex portations. About three-fourths of the automo bile factory facilities, it is estimated, will be put to work immediately on munitions in case of war. The railroad system of the United States compared with other nations, is a giant among pigmies. It would be possible to spread this inventory of the American resources over many pages. Nowhere else does a man’s labor, produce so much as here, due to the unequaled utilization of mechanical power; AU that is needed to turn this . mighty cataract of national energy to •the business of w ar is time and prepa ration.

Firms Double Their Forces and Put Contracts for Navy Ahead - of AU Others. ■Washington.—Construction of navy craft by the Newport News Shipbuild ing and Drydock company, the Fore River Shipbuilding company arid the Electric Boat company will be speed ed up to the limit of the plants. Work on two battleships at the plant of the Newport News company, at Secretary Daniels’ suggestion, already is proceed ing Under doubled crews, and the of fers of the- other two companies to take similar steps met with the secre tary’s hearty approval. At the Newport News plant it is estimated- that the battleship Missis sippi, recently launched, can be com pleted by midsummer instead of Jan uary I, 1918, as called for in the con tract.

Representatives of the Fore River and Electric Boat companies culled on Mr. Daniels, offering to rush work on destroyers and submarines for which they have contracts, setting aside oth er private. work to that end. They were told to go ahead at full speed. The plan is to get the vessels launched as.soon as possible, freeing stocks for the new set of destroyers and subma rines to be authorized in the pending navy bill.

Data made public recently by the navy department show that at no oth er time in its history haS the marks manship of the United States navy been so good as it is at present. The new superdreadnaught Nevada gave an example of the general shooting effi ciency of the Atlantic fleet. ' In recent target practice this ship fired 56 shots from her 14-inch guns, and the target, at varying ranges, was smashed 43 times, a record that is Relieved to equal, If not surpass, any record with similar guns in any other navy.

Raleigh. The bill by Roberts, of Buncombe, to give the franchise .to women in .municipal elections where the major ity of the voters so petitioned, went down in defeat in the House'by a vote of 40 to 63 after a most strenuous argument, heard by suffragists and others, who thronged the galleries. The House , took up the debate on the Page bill to provide machinery for electing county ’ boards of education by the people where the people, so petitioned. Speaker Murphy' urged brevity as so much time had already been taken up. Representative Holding argued against county election, insisting that the 'records show that those counties that elect their boards have really been - hindered in their educational progress by this change from the state system. This was challenged by Mr. Kittrell, who insisted that Holding d>l not know what he was talking about.. Mr. -Kittrell launched a Set speech In which he rejoiced in the fact that he, Mr. Page, Mr. Beasley and others had been designed “agitators” in this mat- matter. Neal, Abraham, Moses, Christ, Martin Luther, Woodrow Wilson, Ay- cock and Joyner were recognized as "agitators,” while the Egyptians, Phar isees and Saducees were typical stand patters. He was for local self-govern ment, and denied that the Republicans had any patent on this real democratic product. Representative Matherson, of Ire dell, said his county elected its county board and was ,making remarkable progress. Representative Brummitt was the last speaker. He paid tribute to Mr. Dough ton, but insisted that he had opposed the statewide primary law just as he was opposing this election of boards and the statewide primary had not hurt his people In the moun tains, Mr. Page moved the previous question and the ayes and nays were called for. The vote was; 40 for and 61 against the Page bill. • : , • President Gardner laid before the Senate the bill to allow Bertie County to elect her board of schopl commis sioners as a special order. It was ad vocated by Senator Burgwyn. He charged Sendtor ' Oates with having striven to block the bill all along and he wanted that Senator to explain why 2,500 Democrats in Bertie could riot be allowed this elective privilege. Senator -McCoin wanted. Senator Burgwyn’s people to have what they wanted, but he didn’t w ant;the wes tern Republican counties to have the privilege arid he wanted tp be consis tent. So he opposed the bill. Senator Brenizer thought that Ber tie should have the privilege asked, as it was purely a local matter and not complicated with any state school sys tem. Senator Little favored the Oates bill to let the Democratic primaries nominate the boards. Senator Oates insisted that there was a state school system that must be maintained., Senator ,Jones, of Buncombe,. could not understand. the much-talked of debt of gratitude to western county Democracy- The Democracy does not he insisted, Vequire him to be incon sistent and dishonest. Democracy can be maintained by beirig just. He be lieved that any set ,of county officers who wrecked, the school system of the county would be thrown out of office. He wanted fair play. He would not ,sacrifice a principle to keep mountain counties from going Republican. The roll call vote was 22 to 24 against the bill. / •Judiciary Committee No, 2 of the* where criminal assault or attem pt at Th* Senate thresbea. out the que* Uon of allowing individual counties to elect boards ot education and voted 22 to 24 against the Burgwn bill to allow BerUe county this privilege. The House committee on proposi tions and grievances, after a hearing, at which numbers of citizens of east ern Carolina-were present, voted un animously for unfavorable report for the bill of Representative Griffin, of Chowan, for putting the whole of eastern Caroltea under stock law, ex cept points cut off from main land by water. Griffin, himself, voted for unfavorable report after hearing argu ments against his bill. , The House committee on liquor traffic gave a long hearing to advo cates of the Anti-Saloon Ldague bill to reduce liquor deliveries to two quarts per year, and make other sharp advances in th e' prohibition regula tions of the state, the two quarts al lowed being strictly for medicinal pur poses. The outcome was that the committee voted 7 to 11 for an un favorable report of the biU, which must now go to the floor of‘the House under a minority fayorable report. There were nine iriembers of the com mittee absent. For the hearing J. A. Brown, of Chadbourn, as chairman of the Anti-Saloon League .legislative committee was in charge and the dis cussion was opened by Dr. W. L. Po- teat, of W ake'Forest College. Other speakers included Dr. M. T. Plyler, C. H. Ireland, T. J. Marksam, Dr. L. B. McBrayer, W. S. Taylor, F. S. Blair, W. T. Shaw, Frank Liipfert, former representative. There were a flood of petitions In the House, the bulk of them for the pending Anti-Saloon League legisla tion.

De Spain, always with a jealous regarti for the relative distance between hiin and his self-appointed executioners, moved backward. In crossing the room, Sandusky, without objection front his companions, moved across their front, and when the four lined up at the bar, their'iwitions lityl changed. De Spain Si(H)Ii at the extreme left,. Saudiisky next. Logan beside him, and Gale Mor gan, at the other end of the line, pre tended to pound the bar fov^service. Dc Spain, following mountain etiquette in the circumstances, spread Iiis open • hands, palms down, on the bar. San dusky’s great palms slid in. the same fashion oyer the checked slab in un spoken recognition of the brief armis tice. Logan’s hands came up In turn, mid Morgan still pdunded for someone Io serve. - De Spain in Ilie new disposition weighed his chances as being both bet- IiT mill worse. They had put Suatlus- liy's first shot at no more than.an ariu’s length from his prey, with Lo- gun next, to cover the possibility of the big fellow’s failing to paralyze De ■Spain the first instant. On the other hand, De Spain, trained in. the tactics of Whispering Smith and JIedicine Rend gunmen, welcomed a sliort-urm struggle with the worst of his assail ants closest at hand. Their maneuver ing caused no disquiet to their slen der. compactly built victim. “You’ll wait a long time, if you wait for serv ice here, Morgan,” he said, comment ing with composure on Morgan’s im patience. Logan looked again at his two companions and laughed. Every hope De Spain had of possible help from the back room died with lliat laugh. Then the door behind the bar slowly opened, and the scar-fea tured face of Sassoon peered cautious ly from the gloom. The horsethlef, stooping, walked In with a leer directed triumphantly at the railroad man. If it were possible to deepen it, the sinister spot on De Spain’s face dark ened. Something in his blood raged at the sight of the malevolent face. He glanced at Logan. “This,” he smiled faintly, nodding toward Sassoon as lie himself took a short step farther to the left, “is your drink, Harvey, is it?” “No,” retorted Logan loudly, "this Is your drink,” “I’ll take Sassoon,” assented De Spain, good-natured again and shifting W M AGAZINE O F F E R ^affi. pompanion” o r-AmerIcaaigwpV Es Ior ooly 12, or'both ddressfor year foroDlyJggk a g, inen'i KtcazlBe lyeae/, WtUfeet, The Scar-Featured Face of Sassoon Peered Cautiously From the Door. sRll another step to the left "What do you fellows want now?” “We want to punch a hole through that strawbenry,” said Logan, “that beauty-mark. Where did you get it, De Spain?” “I might as w eir ask where you. get your gall, Harvey,” returrfed De Spain, Wtching Logaii hunch Sandusky toward the left that both might crowd mitt closer. “I was born with my 'ai>t.v-innfk—yust asJ you were born Jtltil i'our d——dj bad’ manners,” he • ded composedly,v fo'r in hugging tip , *> him his enemies .were: playing;; his -VV; “Ypu.’can’L h g l^ ^ to pay for putting that mark on me. Somebody is bound to pay for your manners.’ IVhy talk about either? Sas soon, set out for your friends—or I "TH. Spread, gentlemen, spread.” He had reached the position on which lie believed his life depended, and stood so close to the end of the bar that with a single step, as lie ut tered the last words, He turned it. San dusky pushed close nest him. De Spain continued to speak without hes itation or hreaif, but tiie words .seemed to have no place in Uis mind. He was thinking only, and saw only within his field of vision a cut-glass liuttbn that fastened the bottom of Sandusky’s greased waistcoat.- “You’ve waited one day too long to collect for your strawberry, De Spain,” cried Logan shrilly. “You’ve turned one trick too many on the sinks, young fellow. If the man that put your mark on you ain’t iii this room, you’ll never get him.” “Which means, I take it, you’re going to try to get me,” smiled De Spain. “No,” bellowed Morgan, "it. means we have got you.” . ’ “Ion are fooling yourself, Harvey." De Spain addressed tlig. warning to Lo gan. "Aiui yon, too,. SaniMy," he “We’ll take care of that,” grinned Logan, Sandusky kept, sileiice. “You are jumping into another man’s fight,” protested De Spain steadily. “Sassoon’s fight is our fight,” inter rupted Morgan. “I advise you,” said De Spain once more, looking \vith the words at San dusky and Iiis orohy, "to' keep out of it" “Sandusky,” yelled Logan to his partner, “he advises me and you to keep outt of this fight,” he shrilly laughed. “Sure,” assented Sandusky,, but with no variation in tone and his eyes on- De Spain. - Logan, with an oath, leaned over the bar toward Sassoon, and pointed con temptuously toward the end of the bar. “Shike I” he cried, “step’ through the rail and take that man’s: gun.” De Spain, looking from one to the other of the four faces confronting liim, laughed for the first time. But he was looking without seeing what he seemed to look at. In reality,' he saw only a cut-glass button, b e was face to face with taking a man’s life or surrendering his own, and he knew the life must be taken in such a way as instantly to disable its possessor. These m en'had chosen their time and place. There was nothing for it but to meet them. Sassoon was stepping toward him, though very doubtfully. De Spain laughed again, dryly this: time. “Go slow, Sassoon,” he said; “That gun is loaded.” “H.you want terms, hand over your gun to Sassoon,” cWetf Logan, “Not till It’s empty,1’ returned De Spain. "Do you want to try taking if f lie demanded of Logan, Iiis cheeks burning a little darker.,, Lognn never answered Uie question, It was not meant to be answered. For De Spain asked .it only ;to Cover the spring he made at that instant into Sandusky’s middle. Catlike though it was, the feint did not take the big fel low unprepared. He had heard -once; when or where he could not 'tell, but he had never forgotten tiie hint, that De Spain, a boxer, was as quick with his feet as with his hands. The out law whirled. Both men shot from the hip; the reports cracked together; One bullet, grazing the fancy button, smashed through the, gaudy waistcoat;' the other, as De Spain’s free-hand struck at the'mu»».le of the big man’s gun, tore into De Spain’s foot . San dusky, convulsed by the frightful sliocL stagKerefi against D# S p w atm, the lattet tatlng tight against him. , Logan, alive to the trick but caught behind hie partner, fired over Sandusky’s right shoulder at De Spain’s head, flattened sidewise against the gasping outlaw’s breast. Hugging his shield, De Spain threw his second shot over Sandusky’s left shoulder into Logan’s face. Logan, sinking to the floor, never moved again. Supporting with extraordinary strength the un wieldy bulk of the dying butcher, De Spain managed t& steady him as a b u t fer against Morganis fire until he could send a slug over Sandusky’s head at th,e instant the .latter/collapsed. Mor gan fell ufl&nst the bnr.f, • T. Sahdusfcy’s weight dragged De Spain, down / For an,,instant th e -fduf men his agile enemy, dropping iiiS. revolver, dodged under- the mil to close. De Spain, struggling to free himself from the dying man, saw, through a mist, the greenish eyes and the thirsty knife. He fired from the floor. ■ The bullet shook without stopping his’enemy, and De Spain, partly caught under’ San dusky’s body, thought, as Sassoon catue oil, the game was lip. With an’ effort born of desperation, lie dragged him self from under the twitching giant, freed Ills revolver, rolled awuy, and, with his sight swimming, swung the gun at Sassoon's stomach. He meant to kill liim. The bullet whirled the white-faced man to one side and he dropped, but pulled himself, full of figlit, to his knees and, knife in hand, panted forward. De Spain, rolling has- tily from him, staggered to his feet, and, running in as Sassoon tried to -strike, beat him senseless with the butt of his gun. His own eyes were streaming blood. His head was reeling and he was brenthless, but he remembered those of the gang waiting outside. He still could see dimly the window at the cud of the bar. Dashing \l\is fingers through the red stream on his fore head, lie ran for the window, smashed through the sash into the patio and found Sassoon’s horse trembling’at the fusillade. Catching the lines and the pommel, he stuck his foot up again and again for the stirrup. It was use- less;’-he could not make it. Then, summoning all of his fast-ebbing strength, he threw himself like a sack across - the horse’s back, lashed the brute through the open gateway climbed into the saddle, and spurred blindly away. tinued Scott mildly, “as to shoot- into that fellow in a room with closed doors and expect to get away with i t The only, way the bunch can-ever kill that man, without getting killed themselves, is to get him from behind; and at that, John, the man that fires the gun,” mur mured the scout, “ iught to .be behiud a tree. “Yon say h e 's hit. I grant it,” he concluded. “But I knew him once, when he was hit, to lie out in the busli for a week. He got cut off once from Whispering Smith and Kennedy after a scrimmage outside Williams Cache two years ago.” . You don’t believe, then, he’s dead, Boii?” demanded Jeffries impatiently. Not till I see him dead,” persisted Scott unmoved.* * * . * * . * » De Spain, when he climbed into Sns- soon’s saddle, was losing sight and consciousness. He knew he could "no longer defend, hiinself, and :was so faint that only the determination of putting distance between him and any pursuers held him to the horse after lie spurred away. With the instinct of tiie minted, lie fumbled witli Ills right hand for his means of defense, and was relieved to find his revolver, after his panicky dash for safety, safe in its place. He put his hand to his belt for fresh cartridges. The belt ivas gone. The discovery sent a shock through Iiis failing faculties. He could not recollect why he had no belt. Believ- CHAPTER X. After the Storm. For a week the search continued day and night, but each day, even each succeeding hour, reduced the expec tation of ever seeing De Spain alive, Spies working at Calabasas, others sent in by Jeffries to Music moun tain among the Morgans, and men from Medicine Bend haunting Sleepy Cat could get no word of De Spain. Deaf Sandusky and Logan had been found dead at the Inn by Lefever on the night after the fight. Fairly accu rate reports accounted for Gale Mor gan, nursing a wound at home, and for Sassoon, badly wounded and. under cover somewhere in the gap. Beyond this, information halted. Toward the end of the week a Mexi can sheepherder brought word In. to Lefever that he had seen- in Duke Morgan’s stable Sassoon’s horse—the one -on which Be Spam had escaped, He averred he had seen the blood stained Santa Fe saddle that had been taken -off tie horse when the horse was found nt daybreak of the day, follow- Ing the fight, waiting at Sassoon’s cor ral to be cared for. There could bej i;t wits fairly well ascertained, no a take about the horse—the man knew the animal; but Ills information threw no light on the fate of its missing rider. ' Though Soott had known first of De Spain’s helpless condition in his desperate flight, as regarded self-de fense, the Lidian was the last to aban don hope of seeing- hiin alive again, One night, in the midst of a gloomy councii at . Jeffries’ office, Jhe was pressed for an explanation of his con fidence. It w;as always difficult for Scott to explain liis reasons, for think ing anything. Men with the surest in stinct are usually poorest at reason ing a-conviction out,. But Bob, cross- examined and harried, managed to give some explanation of the faith that was m uiui. "in me first Jiace," he said, “I’w ridileu a good deal with that man—pretty much all over the coun- ,try north of Medicine Bend. He is as full of tricks as a nut’s full of meat.

Hugging His Shield, De Spain Threw His Second Shot Over Sandusky’s Shoulder. ing his senses tricked him, he felt again and again for it before he would believe it was not buckled somewhere about him. But it was gone, and he stuck back in his waistband his useless revolver. One hope remained—flight, and he spurred his horse cruelly. Blood running continually into his eyes from the wound in his head made him think his eyes were gone, and di rection was a thing quite beyond his power of compass. He made little ef fort to guide, and his infuriated horse flew along as if winged. A warm, sticky feeling in his right boot warned him, when he tried to make some mental inventory of his condition, of at least one other wound. He could not see twenty feet ahead or behind'. Even when he hurriedly wiped the cloud from his eyes his vision seemed to liave failed, and be could only, cling to his horse to put the miles as fast as possible between himself and more of the Morgans. A perceptible: weakness presently forced him to realize he must look to his wounded foot. Before he slackened speed he tried to look behind to recon- noiter. With relief he perceived his sight to be a trifle better, and in scan ning the horizon he could discover no pursuers. Choosing a secluded spot, he dismounted, cut'open his boot, and found that a bullet, passing down ward,. had tom an artery under the arch of the foot Making a. rude tour- view and saw no pursuit threatening In any direction, was to identify 'the country he was In. The only landmark anywhere in sight that he could recog nize was Music'mountain. Thisnow lay to the northwest, and he knew he must be a long way from any country he was familiar with. But there was no gainsaying, even in his confused condition, Music mountain. After looking at it a long 'time he headed, with some hesitation cautiously toward it, with intent to intercept the first trail to the northeast. This would take him toward Sleepy Cat. As his eyes continued to sweep the. horizon he noted that the sun was down and it was growing' dark. He was aware at intervals that he was steadying himself like a -drunken man. His efforts to guide the horse only be wildered the beast, and the two trav eled on maudlin curves and doubled back on their track until De Spain de cided that his sole chance of reaching any known trail was to let go and give, the horse his head. A period of uncon- seiousness, a blank in De Spain’s mind, soon followed. How long he rode in this way, or how. far, he never knew. He was roused to consciousness by the unaccustomed sound of running water , underneath his horse’s.feet. |. It was pitch dark everywhere. The j horse after the hard experience of the . evening was drinking a welcome draft. ! De Spain had no conception of - where • he could be, but the stream told Him he j had somehow reached the range. I though Music mountain itself had been swallowed up in the night. A sudden and uncontrollable thirst seized the ■ wounded man. He could hear the wa- 1 ter falling over the stones anil climbed slowly,uud painfully out of the saddle to the ground. Witli the lines in his left hand he Crairietl toward the water and; lying flat on the ground beside the horse, put his head down to drink. The horso, meantime, satisfied, lift.ed his head with a gulp, rinsed his month, and pulled backward. The lines slipped from De Spain’s hand. Alarmed, the wenkened man scrambled after them. Tlie horse, startled, shied, and before his rider could get to his feet scampered off in a trot. While De Spain listened in consternation, the es caped horse, falling into an easy stride, galloped away into the night; Stunned by this hew misfortune, and listening gloomily to the retreating hoof-beats, De Spain pondered the situ- Iitioii in which the disaster left him. It was tiie worst possible blow that could have fallen, but fallen it had, and lie turned with such philosophy as he could to complete the drink of water that had probably'cost him his life. When he had slaked a seemingly un quenchable craving, he dashed the run ning water, first with one hand and then the other, over his face. He tried feebly to wash away some’ of the alkali that had crusted over the wound in the front of his head and was stinging and burning in it. There was now noth ing to do but to secrete himself until daylight and wait till help should reach him—it was manifestly impossible for him to seek it. Meanwhile, the little stream beside him offered first aid. He tried it with his foot and found it slight and shal low, albeit with a rocky bed that made wading in his condition difficult. But he felt so much better he was nble to attempt this, and, keeping near to one side of the current, he began to follow ■It slowly up-stream. The ascent was at times precipitous, which pleased him, though it depleted his new strength. It was easy In this way to hide his trail, and the higher and,fast- er the stream took him into the moun tains the safer he would be from any Caiabasas pursuers. When he had re gained a little strength and oriented himself, he could quickly get down into the hilts. Animated by these thoughts, he held his way up-stream, hoping' at every step to reach the gorge from which the flow issued. He would have known this by the sound of the falling water, but, weakening soon, he found he must abandon hope of getting up to it. How ever, by resting and scrambling up the rocks, he kept on longer than lie would have believed possible.

NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21. 1917. The Penitentiary Farm s A H ell Qn E arth. The State Legislature the past vfeek received a bomb shell in the ffsy ofa IettergiP inga remarkably graphic story aB written by an ex prisoner in which were portrayed alleged !rightful practices and con ditions existing at Caledonia Farm, B State peDal institution. The ex prisoner is young Tray- ffifik, a university man who some vears ago was convictflb of forgery and sentenced to a term in the pen . jtentiary. He Berved three years at Caledonia and was pardoned in December by Governor Craig. Xheyouag man’s story was read by Bepreseotative Roland Beasly be fore a session of the joint committee on penal institutions. Among other things, Traywick alleges that prisoners are treated with cruelty, are beaten at times unmercifully, ill fed and impaper- Iy and poorly housed. They acc ording to his story, are herded to fetber aad made to sleep together as so many sheep, negroes and whites, sick and well, old and young, all huddled together with oat distinction. ThS lash, in all its frightfulness, is plied without compassion, sodomy and immoral IiIy rampage, disease ravages the unfortunates who fall under the pall of this great institution, So profitable to North Carolina finan- eirlly but so destructive to the moral fibre of those whom it seeks to correct or punish, he changes Traywick is vouched for by Mr. Beasley. He comes from the Mon roe editor’s own county. For sev eral days he has endeavored to have his story printed in the pap ■ ers'ofWe'St‘ate^l?M ^iro.w veif:^ were willing to let ldoee such charg es unsubstantiated by any i; but Tray wick. Their' view was. that while the article is extremely in teresting reading, it might be great I; overdrawn and 'might work in jury to oompetent and humane of Heals. Traywick charges that the profit accuring to the State from its pen. al institutions is a disgrace to the State. He says that such profits come at the expense of prisoners who are treated inhumanely in the great effort to make the farms pay. The joint committee heard Tray- wick’s charges with much interest. Practically every member felt that they were exaggerative, but that they furnished sufficient basie to warrant the ordering of an invests gation of Penal institutions. Sen ator Brenizer and Qolderness. and SepreBentativeGrier, Eeufrowand Beasley were appointed a commit tee to make the" investigation, subject to the action of the Gener al Assembly. , ■ ' The meeting was presided over % Senator Wilfred D. Turner, ex Lieutentant Governor. Traywick’s article readB like a page from Les Miserables. Hugo’s “Jean Yaljeau” suffered no more . «om his prison experiences than d® the inmates of North Carolina prisons, if the young man,Bcharges are correct. There is not notice able any venom in Traywick’s article. He does say that be, per 80Dally, was badly ' treated. ; His article, he says, was inspired by a desire to correct eyiles thru which 80 great a number of liis fellow men suffer untold injury. .'V A Hint To The A ged.

To Cure a Cold In One Day O pen Form ulas. Thereis no doubt but that the American people have been played upon by the medicine vender and the time has been when any fakir could step around the corner and makeup a few bottles of colored dope ’ and theiicome back and find a greedy ,public to take his cure all. Education has made this road rougher for the fakir, but to a cer tain extent the public is still at the mercy of the medicine manufacturer and physician. We believe that the Public should be protected against the medicine manufacturer that would sell us colored water as a drug that would cure all and the public is entitled to know, what they are get ting just as much when buying medi cine as when buying cereals, canned goods or anything else. Of course all medicines put up under private formulaes are not fakes, in many cases they are better than can be gotten through locai physicians and it would have been doing these an injustice to have forced them to place before the world their form ula which is there own stock in trade and give every practicing physician and druggist the ingredients that composed same. They are entitled to withhold their own formulaes just as much as the physicans is entitled to make out his subscriptions in latin. If all com pounds are to bear upon the bottle the ingredients, then let the physi cian state upon his prescription “water” and not “Ac qua,” etc. We do. believe that every manu factured medicine offered for sale should be submited, with a full an aJysis of ingredients to the health department, this infomation to be kept a secret and then let this de partment restrain all fake medicines, so that the.public will know that a medicine, if allowed to be sold is al- NUMBER 32 P rosperity vs. H igh Prices. “No such thing exists in Ame rica aB prosperity for just one class, unless it exists for all.” So said a noted statesman last fall, and millions of Americans believed him but we differ from him. Oor present so-called prosperity of the classes. It is most emphat ically not a prosperity of the masses. ■*The munitious manufacturer iB prosperous because Europe is clam oring for his products. The automobile maker prospers because the craze for the buz wag on is on the upward slant. The farmer prospers because Eu rope demands his products. Certain other special industries prosper because a war crazed Eu rope needs their wares with which to prolong the strugle. And there . the real prosperity ends. The millions of salaried men and women and tUe more modest wage earners are immaasur- ably off than they were five years ago. Thousands of printers and publishers are facing actual ruin. The small merchant has difficulty in making both ends meet. Thou sands of professional men are wond* eriug.how they;can pay their rent, Higfi prices are the result of this Half prosperity, but all peple have them to pay.

The writer has the op portunity of meeting great numbers to the state, arid some of these set tlers, and it is gratifying to hear them speak.so well of North Caro lina. They like its way of growth; as one of the two of the two states in which the increase of the popul- ation'in town and country are even. Another thing which gets their coin mendation is the number of what are calledf’good towns.’.’ In some states there are faw of the latter, but there are two or three cities. North Caro lina has no real cities, and it will .be at least ten years before any place in the state passes the 100,000 pop- ulsiton rriark. But good towns and a population which “sticks to the country’ are tremendous assets.” ,jW here ls His Redress? out when the element of justice js. taken away from the sentence it is too bad.

He served con siderably time and now Cashwell writes Governor Bickett that Mull did not burn the barn but another man is the guilty party. Of course Governor Bicket immediately pard oned Mull.

The editor of The Record hasn't any business in the war zone, and he isn’t going to’solicit any in that region. When we ask a man to take our paper and he tells us that he knows all the news without taking a paper, we feel sorry for him, for he is not long for this woijld—he is too smart to live. When one man can find out by himself what it takes the edi tor, fifteen or twenty correspondents in the county, and hundreds of tele phones and telegraph offices to sup ply, then he is indeed too smart to last long in this yale of tears. DAVIE COUNTY SO YEARS AGO. This is a good time for American globe trotters to stay at home. It is all very nice to say that we have as much right to the high seas as anybody. We have, but in time of war nothing is right but everything is wrong; and he is no patriot who for the sake of his own pleasure will endanger the peace and safety of hundred million people. If such a man goes to the bottom of the sea he gets just about what is coming to him —Charity and Children. MUST BE MISTAKEN. Charity and Children, in its issue of last Wednesday, said: “The Legislature is consider ably above the average in point of ability and experience.” On Thursday, Senator Person, of Bertie, in submitting some remarks on the floor of the Senate, said, in speaking of his bill to allow Bertie to elect her school board by a popu lar vote of the people: . “To hell with such doctrine! I will not stand for it.” He re buked Senators for “following their master’s voice.” NOTHING BETTER EXPECTED. The Winston Journal, in comment ing on the North; Carolina Legisla ture, has the following to say: If the members of the present General Assembly desire to have their Legislature known as the original strnd-pat, do-nothing General Assembly all that is ne cessary is for them to continue to do as they have been doing, for these forty days and forty nights. I The prohibition bill, the old sold iers pension bill, educational bill, dog tax bill, woman’s suffrage and other bills have been sent to where the whangdoodle mourneth not. SEN. WILLIAMS DEFENDS DAVIE In the discussion of the Bertie school bill in the Senate last Friday, Senator Oats, .of Cumberland, in a speech in opposition to the election of school boards by popular vote, intimated that .the Republicans of the State were opposed to educa tion, and stated that writ of man damus had to be resorted to in tbrte Republican counties to compel the E o s rio fta ty Commissionera to levy sufficient tax to.rnn tie schools. Senator Williams, of Yadkin, asked him to name the counties and he named Davie as one of the three. Thereupon Senator Williams asked him if he did not know that the courts sustained the contention of the Commissioners of Davie county and that the Referee in the found as a fact that the Commiss ioners had already levied sufficient tax and fully discharged their duty under the law. To this Senator Oats replied that he did not know and refused to admit the facts Sen. Williams immediately brought in the papers in the case, together with the opinion !of the Supreme Cotart and put the Senator from Cumberland in such a hole that he * for information frankly admitted His error to the Senate and the Commissioners of Looking Backward And Noting Changes That Have Taken Place. Developing a town or county, like that L of an individual, is never completed. It is one continuous succession of sawing and reaping.’ Each generation finds an unfinished work when it arrives, and leaves the work unfinished when it is called hence. . Every day marks out our duty, and it is for us to devote ourselves to it Whether we live to enjoy the fruits or lay down the work before the harvest, we know that every well-spoken word has its lasting influence, and that no good deed is ever lost. No one can count his life spent in vain, if when he ' departs, it can be said of him: “The-night is darker because his lighc is gone out; the world is not so warm since his heart has grown cold in death." Davie has always had as true Ameri can type of citizenship as any county. She has had as few traitors, tories and deserters in times that try men’s souls, as any county. As we view it. the Indians are the only real native Americans. They were found here when this country was discovered by the whites. However, his tory shows that a more intelligent and enlightened' race had previously- lived here, but had become extinct. Soon after this country had been discovered, all leading nationalities began to migrate to it—the English, the ,French, the Germans and others. As in parts of Rowan,. the southern part of Davie was settled prin cipally by Germans. The first thing they did on settling was to build a church. And while they may have had to pay some tribute to Great Britain, yet they organized and maintained their own schools and -local self-gcvernment. But when America declared for her independ ence, these German descendants at once became Americans, and took an active part in the struggle for American civil and religious liberty. And not one of them even sympathized with the Tories then, neither do their descendents with the so-called. byphenized Americans, today. Davie can bo.ast of several bits of his tory that no other adjoining county can. WillmentionThem along in these few reminscent articles. She had one of the largest slave owners in the State, that of Peter Hairston, then of Fulton township. He owned a large, fine farm of a thousand acres or more on the North Yadkin River. His residence was located on a high hill overlooking hundreds of acres of rich bot tom lands, and then was the finest and most modern residence ip all the whole country around. It had a winding stair way from the bottijp to an outlook at the top which was a'great' attraction to his many visitors. It was known as the Lookout House.” His farm was known as the “Cooleemee Farm,” perhaps get ting its name from some Indian tribe or dialect. He owned hundreds of slaves. It was said that he never did know how many he owned, and he certainly did not know many of them nor they him, as they would meet each other on ihe high ways. It was said he met a half-grown negro boy one day and asked him who he belonged to. and the boy, sneeringly said: “Oltl Peter Hairstoo, be-God.' Whereupon “Old Peter" got down and preached him a practical, evergreen gos pel sermon and sent him on his way re joicing. Hairston also owned a large grist, wheat and corn mill, then the larg est in the county, on the South Yadkin River, near where the Cooleemee Cotton Mill now operates. That is how it and the railroad station near it got their name after the noted Peter Hairston Cooleemee Farm. There were other slave owners in the county, owning from one to fifty or one hundred. In our next article will men tiori four of the largest, and give some history of some of them that will not only interest home folks, but folks abroad. Weare just getting down to personal mentionings. Of course, we are writing from memory of what we have seen, heard and read. Davie has a noble an cestry and a history of which her citizens should be proud. And the best is to come yet. J. F. CLTCK. Hickory, N. C. Farm Loan Association Organized. f of farm ers m et in Mocksville, Feb, 16, and organized a Farm Loan Associa tion. After studying the system and listening to Mr. E. S. Millsaps, who is very familiar with the law and who is organizer for this dis trict, the Davie County Farm Loan Association was formed by electing :a board of directors as follows: I M. J. Hendricks, Gana, R. 2; L-L. Miller, Mocksville, R. 2; j. B Gain. Cana; J. W. Gartner, Mocksville;’ J. W- Etcbison, Cana. The board of directors elected the following of ficers: President, M. J. Hendricks: Yice-Pres., J. W. Etchison;* Sec.- Treas., B. 0 “Morris- Loan Commit tee: J. B. Cain, L. L. Miller, J. .W. Cartner; alternate. G. E. Merrell. Those desiring a loan at 5 per ct., on land in periods of 5 to 40 years, can apply iu person or by letter to the Board of Directors or Sec.-Treas. Express H er Opinon O f The '‘-57.” Newspapers thru the state, in a plain statement Wednesday, herald ed to the world a fact’ that records the blackest spot in North Carolina history. A “strenous debate” was held in the house over an age of consent bill which would raise the limit to six teen years and it was defeated by a vote of 47 to 57. We, the mothers and women of this great commonwealth should rise as one woman and demand aye and naye vote on this measure and pub lish the names in full. Fifty-seven men entrusted with making laws to protect the best interest of our state; sent there by the vote of fathers and brothers and paid-with the people's money, daring to cast a vote • which gives men free license to debauch our children under the vicious pre tense that a child of ten years and one day old has a right to decide for herself as to the guardianship of her virture. Not one of these fiifty-sev en men believe that. Men as hum an beings vote for measures that they expect to profit by. In North Carolina the price of virture, accord ing to man-made laws, is $60. guilty man can be fined not more than $10 and the court can require him to, pay the woman or ten year old child $50. A feeble bond is asked to remunerate the county (county mind you) for any expense the un fortunate babe may be to the county, This bond is seldom given; may mount to nothing when it is giv en; and the child-mother and her babe are cast out in the wilderness to die. Man-made laws protect our dau ghter’s gold; the devil takes care of her virture. I have had much to do with rescue work and my observ ation has been that most young girls are carried to the gutter by men old enough for their fathers. I beiieve the court records will show the same truth. We wonder how many of this “no torious fifty-seven” are fathers or brothers of girls? We wonder if there could be found fifty-seven mothers from the darkest alleys of the Old North State who would cast such a vote. It is tim e fo r every Womani-Jahder the flag of our state capitol to cry out w ith indignation, and raise our voices in righteous protest against such outrage. “ Be not deceivec God is not mocked.” T hereisatim e of reaping.

We hear so much about the great war that it makes us think .of other things that appear to be great in a certain sense. The war in Europe certainly is great in several respects.- It is great in the number of soldiers engaged great in the destruction of fife and property and great in point of hor rible cruelties and sufferings, so that it must be great in an evil sense but if there is any great good in it we have not yet been able to see it, yet there must be some good thing to be accomplished by it as the “Great Ruler” of the Ilniverse would not have permitted it if He had not had some good purpose to be accomplished by it. But there are some great things on this side of the waters. We have a great country that is great in many re specte that we do not need to u > tion, as all are well acquainted with He facts, ffe have a great nation enjoying great peace and a g reat PVes dent, who in the midst of all the great problems and trials he has to contend wijth, has to endure many, as I think, unjust criticisms by persons who ought to be praying for God’s blessings to help him to solve the great problems that he has to contend with. Now, I want to tell you about some things that happened !closer home that appears great to me. I have so many great and good neighbors that I want to tell everybody about them and hore they will not think hard of me for it. Last Tuesday, the 13th, was my birthday and my good neighbors met here to the number of about 75 or more, and gave me a surprise birthday dinner and they did it with great pleasure,-for they all appeared to enjoy it better than I could pos- SJb y enjoy it. It made me feel the truth of the saying, “That it is more blessed to give than to receive,” and the presents and money and checks from good friends elsewhere amounted to over $100. Now to some this may look like a small thin'g but to me it looked very great A fuller account of this birthday din ner will.probably appear later W. R.

HOTEL Major General Frederick Funston Was Seated in Hotel, Suddenly Collpses and Expires a Few iMoments Later. San Antonio, • Texas.—Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston, commander of the Southern Department of the United States Army since February, 1915, died suddenly at a hotel here a few minutes after he had dinner. He col lapsed while seated in the lobby- of the hotel talking with friends and was playing with little Inez Silverberg1 of Des Moines, Iowa, a guest with her parents at the hotel, when he fell un conscious. Death was almost instan taneous. General Funston was 51 years old. Ever since March, 1916, when he was paced in command of all United States forces on the Mexican border. General Funston had worked at an unusual pace. At critical times in border developments, he frequently remained on duty 20 hours of the 24. The handling of regulars disposed of at various stations on the border, the Pershing expedition and of' late,' re arrangement* of regular troops while providing for the return of National !

Washington.—-With the end of the Sixty-fourth Congress but two -weeks off, Administration leaders are concen trating their energies to the enactment of revenue and national defense legis lation. Much long-pending general legislation every one recognizes must give way to appropriations and meas ures that relate to the preparations of the Nation for eventualities which may grow out of the diplomatic breach with Germany. In the Senate, the revenue end naval bills are to be given -the right of way as soon as the espionage and anti-conspiracy, bill, now under con sideration, is out of the way. The House will pass the Army appropria tion within a few-days, and then devote its attention to the sundry civil and general deficiency appropriations. What emergency legislation may be enacted before adjournment depends entirely upon the' decision of the Pres ident. Many believe he will communi cate within a few_days his plans for handling the international crisis. Pre vailing opinion is that he will ask Congress for authority to use the armed forces of the Nation for the protection of American seamen and American rights on the high seas, not with the purpose of making-war, but to open the sea to shipping. To Hasten Action. ' While waiting the next step, what ever it may be,' the Senate, is deter mined to hasten action on the revenue bill, the naval appropriation bill amended by the naval affairs commit tee to carry $533,000,000, an increase of $165,000,000 over the House bill, and the Army appropriation bill. In addition to these measures, the ship ping bill, urged by the shipping board, extending the powers of the Govern ment to control commercial shipping, is of paramount interest. Whether there will be time fdr pas sage of railroad labor legislation and othey,, general bills, In view of the, congestion of essential measures, is seriously doubted by leaders of both parties. It has been determined to proceed with the most urgent matters regardless of the possibility of an extra session, and there is confidence that all the appropriation measures except possibly the rivers and harbrs bill, can be .enacted by March 4.

In this latter province several bands are still at large, but continue to be closely pursued, by detachments of the army. “Troops . numbering 800 landed early in the morning on the southern cost of Camaguey, and by noon were at.Central Stewart, some eight or ten miles from Clengo de ’ Avila, head quarters of the insurgents. Two oth er columns, numbering nearly 2,000 men are converging on the same point and fighting must be in progress at this moment, though, owing to the. wires being cut, no official report has been received. “Several eye-witnesses of the events at Clengo de Avila reached Havana They stated that Jose Miguel Gomez is at the. head of the rebellion there.

General Funston will have on the border nearly 50,000 regular troops disposed along the line from Browns ville to Yuma, Ariz., on plans worked out by the general staff. Secretary Baker emphasized that the withdrawal of tbe state troops is in no way connected with the crisis with Germany; but carries out a policy de termined to long ago. The order w is issued after General Funston had re ported- that he had enough regulars to meet any border exigencies that might arise. Many guard units already had been ordered home during the past few weeks, and the number of guardsmen remaining and to be demobolized un der the order is about 53,000. Administration officials are under stood to have been convinced by the reports of special observers for the state department and the army that thereis little possibility of a recur rence of serious raids.

Cabinet Considers AU -Phases That Have- Developed. Washington—The ruthless German i-ubmarine campaign and its effects upon the United States were discussed by President Wilson and the Cabinet. Tbe meeting lasted an hour,'and after ward it was said ao new steps ha I been decided on. Arming of American merchantmen and the economic effects of the partial tie-up of shipping out of American ports, were the subjects on which the Cabinet centered attention. Secretary McAdoo is compiling a list of vessels held in port. Consideration is given by the Gov ernment to all the different phases of the situation that have developed since the break in relations with Ger many, including the detention of the Yarrowdale prisoners, the crisis with Austria, the plight of Americans in Turkey and Belgian relief. High of ficials took pains, however, to empha size that the great fundamental prob lem before the Nation is the illegal submarine campaign itself. Against this campaign, the United States has made the most vigorous protest pos sible- short of war, but the Administra tion realizes that so long as it permits American ships to. be held in port for fear of attack by submarines, it in ef fect is aquiescing in the German policy The state of affairs, it-is admitted, can not be permitted to continue indef initely. What and When? W hat the United States must -do to end it, and when, are the only ue3- tions. The President is understood to have a'very definite opinion as to what should be done, but he has not yet decided that the time do it has come. Would- Bar Newspapers, Cards, Let ters, Etc., From Mail.—Amendments Adopted After Brief Debate by Vote of 45 to 11 In Senate. . Washington. — Prohiftion took a step forward In both branches of Con- gi JSS. In the Senate drastic amendments to the postal appropriation bill were agreed to which would make, criminal the importation of liquor' into states which prohibit its manufacture and sale for beverage purposes, and which would. exclude liquor advertisements from the mails in states which legis late against such advertising. On the House side, the National prohibition constitutional amendment was favorably reported from the Ju diciary Committee, with a prediction by Chairman Webb that it .would be passed within a week. Champions of prohibition greeted this announce ment with enthusiasm, In spite of their realization that passage in the House will end action on the amend ment In so . far as this session of Con gress is concerned. There is no thought of action by the Senate before March 4, when the Sixty-fourth Con gress dies. r- The amendment to the poBtoffice ap propriation bill to make it a crime to ship liquor into prohibition states was added by Senator Reed, of Mis souri, to the Jones amendment bar ring newspapers or other publications or letters and postal cards containing liquor advertisements from the mails in states which have laws against such advertising. It was adopted aft er brief debate by a vote of 45 to II by the Senate sitting as committee of the whole. The R eed' amendment, which awaits “a final vote in the Sen ate, is as follows: Reed AmendmenL “Whoever shall order, purchase, or cause intoxicating liquors to be trans ported in interstate commerce except for scientific, sacramental, medicinal I or mechanical purposes into any . j state or territory, the laws of which ! state or territory prohibit the manu- ’! facture or sale therein of intoximating j liquors for beverage purposes, shall j be punished by a fine of not more i than $1,000, or imprisoned'not more ■ than six months or both, and for any subsequent offense, shall be imprison ed not more than one year.” The effect of this provision, if final- i iy accepted by the Senate and agreed^ I to by the House, will be to make all" ! prohibition states “bone dry.” It will.

ALL RAILROADS ARE AT DISPOSAL OF GOVERNMENT. Will Touch at Halifax Instead of Kirk wall as Before. New York.—Steamships flying the flags of neutral countries, which have been detained here since the new Ger man submarine nolicy was announced, probably will resume their regular sailings if plans to substitute. Halifax for Kirkwall as a port of call for ex amination can be arranged with the British authorities. It became known that negotiations to this end are vir tually complete. Thattihe British regard the change with favor was indicated by the -an- i nouncement that the Holland-America I Line steamship • Ryndam, had sailed i for Rotterdam via Halifax, and that ; passengers were being booked for the possible sailing early this week of-the steamship Noordam" via the same route. The Swedish-American Line agents also announced that the passenger ship Stockholm, now more than: a week overdue in sailing, would depart at once for Gothenburg via Halifax, as will the freight- steamer Carlsbold. Other lines of Scandinavian countries: were said to have- filed cable mes- sanges to their home offices asking for orders. - Arrangements have-been so far. per fected, it was said, that Halifax pilots, who work under British Admiralty orders,, have been ordered to this port to board the Stockholm and- the Calrs- holm. ~ -New Y ork-T he railroads of the United States informed President Wil son that the resources of their organ ization are at the" disposal of the Gov- erninent in the event of war.

The House and Senate committee on insurance^voted unfavorable report for the bill to provide for additional control of building and loan associa* tions Dy the Insiirance Department and-for at least animal examinations by deputies of the department. Tie hearing was a lengthy one, which such men as Heriot Clarkson, H. N. Pharr, E. L. Keesler, of Charlotte; R. N. Nunn, of New Bern; Joseph W. Little, of Wilmington, and L. T. Hartsell, of Concord, appearing in op position to the bill, contending that the Ihsnqance Commissioner already has all the power necessary and ad ditional taxation for increased super vision would be burdensome. Com missioner of Insurance Young spoke at length as to the necessity of the bill and of the results obtained from the limited system of examinations he has maintained the last two years. It was stated that the House committee would prepare a substitute bill for the one unfavorably reported. Speaker Murphy laid before the House the bill by Clark, .of Pitt,, pro viding that the state may issue $400,- 000 road bonds‘ annually for counties that vote for road bonds, the state bonds to carry 4 per cent and the county subsidiary bonds 5 per cent that will liquidate the bonds in the course of 41 years. TheJhU passed with only one dissenting vote, that by Lloyd, ■ Republican, of Orange county. The House and Senate received the message from Governor Bickett ask ing speedy action in the passage of the bill for exempting notes and mort gages to the amount of $3,000 to au individual when given for the pur chase of farm homes. The Griggin state-wide stock law bill came from committee with un favorable report as to state applica tion, but favorable as to application to Chowan county. .

The Senate committee on elections gave a hearing on the bill of Senator Jones for a statewide Australian bal lot system. Senator Jones and Editor James H.

They asked for the measure to apply to Buncombe coun ty and the tenth congressional district if there was not a majority of the committee favoring its statewide ap plication. They insisted that the measure is badly needed in their sec tion and are ardent advocates of its statewide application. After hearing the committee, Sen ator Oates, chairman, was unanimous for Buncombe to have it and also favorable with lesser majorities to its application to Madison county and the tenth district. The bill by Representative McRary to provide proper care for cemeteries came up and was put to a vote with out discussion. There was a predom inance of noes, but McRary got busy, called for a -joll call vote and ex plained the bill as looking out espe cially for the country cemeteries and providing that each shall have the small sum of $15 annually from the county funds.' He told the House that the difference In the Chinese and the North Carolinians was that the “Chi nese worship their ancestors” and “we forget ours.” The bill- passed 45 to 19 on second reading and went through unanimously after the minor ity leader had explained its provis ions. The Senate passed the Pearson' biS to allow 60 instead of 30 days during which marriage licenses may be- re turned. The bill makes changes iff the form-of license and was defeated some days ago and then reconsidered on motion of Senator Nelson. • The House received the revenue bill and passed the bill by Clark, of Pitt, for the state to issue semi-annually $400,000 bonds for counties that vote subsidiary tymds for road improve ment,: the difference -..in the fivq per cent county and four -per '.cent state bonds to. liquidate Gie- principal and interest.

His Action In Santo Domingo Directly Contradictory of His Statement Made in Explaining -His At* titude-Toward Mexico.- Not much news is coming these days from Santo Domingo. The reason is that the Dominican government has been taken over by American officials and is operating smoothly. The next step proposed by the Washington ad ministration is the appointment of a governor-general for it; as was done for Cuba under the United States mil itary occupation after the war with Spain. It is the purpose to clean up the island, to train native officeholders In their duties, and as fast as they prove their competency to promote them to the higher positions tempo rarily held by Americans. Nobody hears any objection to this course of procedure. Yet President Wilson, In his Jackson day address in Indianapolis two years ago, made this emphatic statement in explaining his attitude-toward Mexico: “I hold it as a fundamental principle that every people has the right to determine its own form of government. . . . It is none of my business and it is none of your business how long th ey take In determining it. It is none of my { business and it is none of yours how they go about the business.” President Wilson’s acts in. Santo Domingo say one thing.

Jeffries, superintendent of the mountain divi sion, sends Henry de Spain, with John LeFevre and Bob Scott as as sistants, to Calabasas to break up the gang. Several encounters occur soon afterward. De Spain becomes smitten with Nan Morgan, niece of the gang leader, .but is snubbed. In a memorable fight, De Spain, c o rn e re d by four outlaws, kills two and wounds two and is himself badly hurt. He disappears. His friends hunt him in'vain. A day or two later De Spain awakes in a cave. He does not know his own whereabouts. CHAPTER X—Continued. The violent exertion .of reaching the height had started tire ruptured artery -now. and bis first work wns crudely io cleanse the wound and attempt to rrbaiidnge it. He was hungry, but for this there was only one alleviation— JiJ0l.,,—and, carefully effacing all traces of his presence on the ledge, he crawled info his rock retreat and fell again into a heavy slumber. « It was this repose that proved his undoing. He woke to consciousness so weak he could scarcely lift his head. It was still day. A consuming thirst as sailed him, but he lacked the strength to crawl out of his cave, and, looking toward his bandaged foot, he was shocked at the sight of how it had bied while he slept. Toward afternoon his restlessness in creased, but he clung to his resolve to lie still. By evening he was burning painlessly—yet he shrank from that anticipated crash.

I got off my horse in the night to get a drink. He bolted. I couldn’t walk. I climbed up here to hide till my wounds heal. Now, I’ve told you the truth. Where am I?” The grip of her hnnds on the rifle might have relaxed somewhat, but she saw his deadly revolver in its accus tomed place and did not mean to sur render her command of him. Nor would she tell him where he was. She' parried his questions. He could get no information of any sort out of her: Yet he saw that something more than his mere presence detained and per plexed her. Her prompt condemna tion of him rankled in his mind, and the strain of facing her suspicion wore on him. “I won’t ask you anything more," he said at length. “You-think I’ve no right to live—that’s wliat you think, isn’t it? Why don’t you shoot?” “Why don’t dies of the Spanish sinks. Where he lay he could, if he meditated revenge on her people,Tnurder any of them, al most at will. To spare his life imper iled to this extent theirs—but surely he lay not far from death by exhaus tion. And if he was not helped soon he would die. But who was to help him? - Certainly none of his friends. If she told them they would try to reach him. That would mean an appalling—an unthink able—fight. AU came back to one ter rifying alternative: Should she help this wretched man herself? And if he lived, would he repay her by shooting someone of her own kin? The long ride to Calabasas went fast as the debate swept on, and the vivid shock of her strange experience re curred to her imagination. She drew up before the big barn. Jim McAlpin was coming out to go to supper. Nan asked for her package and wanted to start directly back again. McAlpin refused absolutely to hear of it. He looked at her horse and professed to be shocked. He told her she had ridden hard, urged her to dis mount, and sent her pony In to be rubbed. While her horse was cared for, McAlpin asked, in his harmless Scotch way, about Gale. Concerning Gale, Nan was noncom mittal. But she listened with .interest, more or less veiled, to' whatever run ning comment McAlpin had to offer concerning the Calabasas fight. “And I was sorry to see Gale mixed up In it,” he concluded, in his effort to draw Nan out, “sorry. And sorrier to think of Henry de Spain getting killed that way. Some say,” he suggested, look ing significantly toward the door ' of the barn, and significantly away again, way he perked up when . I told him- you were coining In on the stage that afternoon I When he heard you’d been sick, he was for going down to the hotel to get a cup of coffee—for you I” McAIpLn, like any good story-teller, was already on his. feet again. “He did it,” he exclaimed, “and you know what he got when he stepped Info the" barroom.” He took hold of De Spain’s coat and held it aside to enter his exhibit. “There,” he concluded, “is his cardridge belt, hanging , there'yet. The boy is dead—why shouldn’t I tell yon?” Nan rode home much more excited, more bewildered than when she had ridden over. Strangest shock of all that this man of all other men should profess to care for her. She had shown anger when McAlpin dared speak of it ; at least, she thought she had. And she still did not know how sufficiently to resent the thought of such audacity on De Spain’s p art This was, to say the least, a further awkward complication for her feelings. She already had enough to confuse them.

There was nothing for it but you answer?” he demanded recklessly. to play the part, to take the blow ,,with no more than a quiver when it came. He had once seen a man shot in just that way. Braced to such a determina tion, De Spain bent slowly downward, and, with eyes staring into the water for a reflection that might afford a glimpse of his enemy, he began to drink. Each mouthful of water was a struggle. The sense of impending death had robbed even the life-giving drafts of their tonic; each instant carried its acute sensation of being the last. At length, his nerves weakened by hunger and exposure, . revolted under the strain. Suppose it should be, after all, a fantasy of his fever that pictured so vividly an enemy behind. With an ef- with thirst, and when morning came i fort that cost more mental torture than after a feverish night, with his head j he ever had known, he drew back on on fire and his mouth crusted dry, he concluded rightly that one .or both of his wounds had become infdcted. Dc Spain understood what it meant. He looked regretfully at the injured foot. Swollen out of shape and angry- looking, the mere appearance would have told him, had the confirmation been needed, that .his situation was becoming critical. This did. not so much disconcert him as it surprised him and spurred him mentally to the necessity of new measures. He lay a long time thinking. Against the infec tion he could do little. But the one aid at bis hand was abundance of cold water to drink and bathe his wound in, and to this he resolved now to drag himself. To crawl across the space that separated him from the pool re quired all the strength he could sum mon. The sun was already well up and its rays shot like spectrum arrows through the spray of the dainty cat aract, which spurted in a jeweled sheet over a rocky ledge twenty feet above and poured noisily down from the broad pool along jagged bowlders be low. Crawling, choking with thirst, slow ly forward, he reached the water, and, reclining on his side and .one elbow, he was about to Ienn down to drink when he suddenly felt, with some kind of an Instinctive shock, that he was no long er alone on the ledge. He had no In terest in analyzing the conviction; he did not even question it. Not a sound He Looked Regretfully at His Injured Foot. v hud reached his ears. Only a moment before he had looked .carefully all around. But the field of his vision was closely circumscribed by the walls about him. It was easy for an invader to' come on Ids retreat unawares—at his elbow from the pool, steadied him self, turned his head to face his execu tioner, and confronted Nan Morgan. CHAPTER XI. Parley. She stood beside the rock from which the ledge was reached from be- j I don’t know, all events, somebody, he was almost snrp, stood behind him. The sileuce meant an enemy. ,The first thing to eXpcct was a bullet. It would prob- . ably be aimed at the back of his head.' At least lie knew this was the spot to aim for to kill a man instantly and low, and as if she had just stepped up into sight. Her rifle was So held in both hands that it could be. fired from her hip, and at such close quarters with deadly • accuracy. As she stood w ith startled eyes fixed on his hag gard face, her slender neck and poised head were very familiar to De Spain. And her expression, while it reflect ed her horrified alarm, did not conceal her anger and aversion at the sight of him. Unaware of the forbidding spec tacle he presented,'De Spain, swept by a brainstorm at the appearance of this Morgan—the only one of all the Mor gans he had not fancied covering him and waiting to deliver his death war rant—felt a fury sweep over him at the wild thought that she meant to kill him. Whatever she meant to do, he could no more fire at this girl, even had he a chance—and he realized .he was at her mercy—than he could at his sister; and he lay with his eyes bent on hers, trying to read her purpose. He read' in her face only abhorrence and con demnation, and felt in no way moved to argue her verdict. *T suppose,” he said, at length, not trying to disguise his bitter resentment of her presence," “you’ve come to finish me.” His shirt stained and tattered for bandages, his hair matted in blood on his forehead, his eyes inflamed, and sunken, his lips- crusted and swollen, the birthmark fastened vividly on his cheek, made him a desperate sight. Re garding him steadily, Nan, as bewil dered as if she had suddenly come on a great wounded beast of prey still dangerous, made no response to his words. The two stared at each other defiantly and for another moment in silence. “If you are going to kill: me,” he continued, looking into her eyes without any thought of appeal, “do it quick.” Something in his longj unyielding, gaze impelled her to break the spell of it. “What are you doing here?” she demanded with anger, curbing her voice to control her excitement as best she could. De Spain, still looking at her, an swered only after a pause. “Hiding,” he said harshly. , “Hiding .to kill othqr men!” Nan s accusation as she clutched her rifle was Ulmbst explosive. He regarded he- coolly, and with the interval he had had for thinking, his wits were clearing. “Do I look like a man bunting for a fight-? Or, added, since she made no answer, a man Bunting for a quiet spot to die in?” „“I-'know.you are a murderer.■ In spite of his weakness he flushed, “N b” he exclaimed sharply, “I’m not a murderer.'

You know nothing of the kind. Your cousin tried to kill me. He’s a bully and a coward, a man that doesn’t know what fair fighting means.” “You are safe in abusing him when he’s not here.” “Send him to m e!” His voice shook with anger. “Tell him T’m wounded; tell him Tve had nothing to eat since I fought him before. And if-he’s still afraid”—De Spain drew and broke his revolver almost like a flash. In that incredibly quick instant she realized he might have threatened her life be fore she could move a muscle—“tell your fine cousin I’ve got one cartridge left—just one!” So saying, he held In one hand the loaded cartridge and in the other the empty revolver. “You’ve asked 'me to go—Tm going.- How much of what you tell me is true, But I can believe my “It's he “like own eyes, and I believe you are not in condition to do much injury, even if you came here with that intention. You trill certainly lose your life if you move from your hiding'place.” She started away. Heleaned toward her. “Stop,” he said peremptorily, raising himself with a wrenching ef fort. Something In the stern eye held her. His extended hand pointed toward her as arbitrarily as if, instead of lying helpless at her feet, he could command her to his bidding. “I want to ask you a question. I!ve told you the truth. I have just one cartridge. If you are going to send your cousin and his men here, It’s only fair I should know it now—isn’t it?” “My cousin is wounded,” she said, pausing. And then with indecision: “If you stay here quietly you are not likely to.be molested.” She stepped down from the ledge as noiselessly as she had come. Shaken by the discovery she had so unexpect edly made, Nan retreated almost pre cipitately. from the spot. And the question of what to do worried her as much as it worried De Spain. The whole range had been shaken by the Calabasas fight. Even the men in Morgan’s gap, supposed to be past masters of the game played in the closed room at Calabasas, had been stunned by the issue of the few min utes with Jeffries’ new man. Nan, who had heard but one side of the story, pictured the aggressor from the tale of the two who lived to tell of the horribly sharp action with him. But Nan’s common sense whispered to her, whatever might be said about De Spain’s starting the fight,-that one man locked in a room with four enemies, all dangerous in an affray, was not likely to begin a figlit unless forced to— none, at least, but a madman would do so. Unhappy and irresolute, Nan, when she got home, was glad of an excuse to ride to Calabasas for a packet of dressing coming by stage from Sleepy Cat for Gale, who lay wounded at Satt Morgan’s; and, eating a hasty lunch eon, she ordered her horse and set out. Should she tell her Uncle Duke of finding De Spain? Whenever she de cided that she must, something In the recollection of De Spain’s condition un settled her resolution. Tales enough of his bloodthirstiness, his merciless efficiency, his ever-ready craft and con summate duplicity were familiar to her.. Yet only a few of these stories appealed to Natfs innate convictions of truth and justice. She lived among- men who were, for the most,part, not truthful or dependable .even in small tlilngswhow could they Be relied on to tell’the truth about De" Spain’s motives and conduct? As to" his deadly skill with arms, no stories were, needed to confirm this, even though she herself hadi once overcome him In a. contest. U fafdl1 preeminence among the trage- Only Fair I Should Know Now—Isn’t It?” “that Henry went down there to pick a fight with the boys. But,” he asserted cryptically, “I happen to know that wasn’t so.” “Then what did he go down there for-jn demanded Nan indignantly, but not warily. HcAlpin, the situation now in hand, took his time to i t He leaned forward In a manner calculated to invite confi dence without giving offense. “Miss Nan,” said he simply, “Henry.de Spain was here, with me, sitting right there where you are sitting, In that chair, not fifteen minutes before that fight began. I told you he never went down there to fight. Do you want the proof? I’ll tell you—I wouldn’t want anybody else to know—will you keep it?” Nan -seemed indifferent. “Girls are not supposed to keep secrets,” she said obstinately. Her narrator was not to be balked. He pointed to the coat-rack on the wall In front of them both. “There is Henry de Spain’s' coat. He hung' it there just before he went dowp to the inn. Under it, if you look, you’ll find his belt of cartridges. Don’t take my word—look for yourself.” Giving this information time to sink in, McAlpin continued. Nan’s eyes hnd turned, despite her indifference, to the coat; but she was thinking more in tently about the belt which McAlpin asserted hung under IL “You want to know what hd did go down to the hotel for that afternoon? I happen to kr.-r. that, too,” averred McAlpin, sittin down, but respectfully, on the edge of the choir. “First I want to say this: I worked for yoiir Uncle Duke five years.” He paused to give Nan a chance to dispute the-statement if she so desired. Then, taking her despairing silence as an indorsement of his" position in giv ing her a confidence, h e ' went on • “Henry de Spain is dead,” he said qui etly. She eyed him without so much as winking. “I wouldn’t; tell it* if he wasn’t. The boy’s dead. And he was always talking 'about you. It’s God’s truth, and since he’s dead it harms no one to tell it to you, though Td never breatlie it to another. He w asfairly gone on-you. ‘’You don’t have to knock me down, Miss Nan, to put me wise about a man’s being keen on a girl. I’m a mar=, ried man,” declared McAlpin with' modest pride. “He - thought all the time he was fooling me, and keeping covered, Now, that afternoon he cam'e in here kind of moody.

Nan Drifts. Without going in to speak to Gale, whom Bull Page, his nurse, reported very cross but not hurt much, Nan left her packet for him and rode home. Her Uncle Duke was in town. She had the house "to herself, with only Bonita, the old Mexican serving woman, and Nan ate her late supper alone. The longer she pondered on De Spain aud his dilemma—and her own —tlie more she worried. • When she went to bed, upstairs in her little gable room, she tossed on her pillow till a resolve seized her to go up again to his hiding place and see what she could see or hear—possibly, if one were on foot, she could uncover a plot. She dressed resolutely, buckled on a holster to her side, and, slipping a revolver—a new one that Gale had given her—into it for protection, she walked" softly downstairs and out of doors. The night air was clear, with three-quarter meon well up in the sky. She took her way rapidly along the trail to the mountain, keeping" as much as possible within the great shadows cast by the towering peaks. Breatliing stealthily and keyed to a tense feeling of uncertainty and sus picion, Nan at length reached without adventure the corner of the ledge where she had first- seen De Spain, and there, lying flat, listened. Hearing only the music of the little cascade, she swept the ledge as well as she could with her eyes, but it was now so -far in shadow as to lie in im penetrable darkness. Hardly daring to breathe, she crept and felt her way over .it with her hands, discovering nothing until she had almost reached De Spain’s retreat at the farther side. Then her heart stopped In an agony of fear—underneath the overhanging wall she heard voices. De Spain had confederates, thed, and had tricked her, after all. But a moment later this explanation failed to satisfy her. The mutterings were too constant and too disconnect ed—it dawned on Nan that this must be delirium. . She could hear De Spain throwing himself from side to side, and the near and far sounds, as If of two voices, were explained. She crept nearer. He was babbling in the chill dark ness about ammunition, urging men to make haste, warning them of some one coming. Nan listened to his rav ings, overcome by the revelation of his condition. She told herself he must die if Be remained longer unaided; and there were unpleasant possibilities, if he died where he lay. She did not want to pity or to help him, she convinced herself; but she did not want his death laid to a Morgah plot—for none of his friends would ever believe De Spain had found his way alive and alone to where he lay. AU of this Nan was casting up in her mind as she walked home. She had already decided, but without realizing it, what to do, and was will ing to assume that her mind wras still open. Toward daylight of the morning, De Spain dreamed he was not alone—that a figure moved silently in the faintness of the dawn—a figure he struggled to believe a reality, but one that tricked his wandering senses and left him, at the coming of another day, weaker, with failing courage, and alone. How De Spain makes' friends with Nan and how she deceives her people In order to protect him, is told vividly in the next installment. (TO BE CONTINUED.) New Job for Derelicts.

T heN ew H aIfD olIar. On one side is a fnll length figure of Liberty, who seems to be in a hurry about something. In her ariu she carries a bunch of celery, which is intended for the Olive Branch; and the other side she is holding out ior contributions from the poor to pay the Democratic campaign delict, and from the widows and orphans to pay the Treasury deficit, S h e .is kicking the declaration o f ou r fa ith in God O ffa th e rh e e le t J n a tea d o f h av in g it over her head as on the old coins. In front of her is a rocky road and her sun is sinking behind the Bocky Mountains, which is to show that under tne constant hammer iog of fauaties and demagogues, our liberties are sadly declining. The letters of the word “Liberty” are very scattering, which signifies Ihat our liberties are far between In the background is what is in laded for the flag, I think, On this flag, instead of the stars stnnd- jog out in bold re lie f, th ey are barely perceptidle; showing that state lines are fast becoming oblit erated. and that States’ Bights will soon be a thing of the past; and that this Hation will be a cen tral depotism.

A ny one who has ever seen this will reognize the attitude instantly. In the one tal on he grasps a.bunch of celery, in tended to represent the Olive Branch in the other he grasps a piece of pork, instead of a bunch of arrows. Under our present ad ministration this seems to be not only signficant but very approp riate.

We have profited nothing by the European war and while the manu facturers of munitions of war and the dealers in mules, feed and focd and many other articles have made big money while many deserving people of moderate means have been made to suffer and the admin istration at Washington has been given an opportunity to tax the people beyond all reason. For our part we shnuld favor keeping American ships and American goods at home and letting the Ger mans and Allies fight it ont. But if the American goverment is go ing to insist on its citizens selling munitions of war and other com- modidies to the Allies, and Germ any insists that we shall not, we must either flight or about face.

State-W ide Dog-Taxing M easure. Raleigh, Feb. 20.—The honse yes terday relieved itself of what was possibly the most vexatious problem of the session when it passed the substitute bill of Representative Matthews, of Bertie, that carried a solution of the dog tax problem. With much discussion,and after a- Gopting amendments exem pting Moore county and games to which no admission was charged spectators or players, it also passed Represent- ativ Matheson’s bill to prohibit play ing golf and baseball on Sunday. It passed, at the afternoon session, the revenue act. with a few amend ments, as favored by the finance committee. The substitnte dog tax bill, offered by R ep re sen tativ e M atthew s in lieu o f th e R ay bill fo r a state-w id e ta x i bly, subm its upon a petition o f one fifth of the voters of any county, an election upon thefauestion and afford ed some of the prettiest parliament ary practice of the session as well as some of the richest humor. Repre sentative McCrary thought that the introducer of1 the bill, the gentle man from Bertie, “should have a monument erected to him on the Capitol Square,” and Representative W rig h t a d d e d " surrounded by a fence.” Probiliitian Ey Congress. If the House of Congressagrees to the Senate amendment to the postal appropriation bill, as it probably will, North Carolina and other pro hibition States which allow ship ments of liquor in limited quantities, will be “bonedry” without the fur ther invention of State Legislatures. Fojlowingjs the amendment .passed; by the Senate: “ Whoever shall order, purchase, or cause intoxicating liquors to be t r p p t o in te r s ta te w m n w rw ,- e x c ep t fo r scientific, sa cram e n tal, m edicinal o r m echanical p urpo ses, into any State or Territory the laws of which State or Territory prohibit- the manufacture or sale therein of intoxicating liquors for beverage beverage purposes, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment not more than six months, or both, and for any subse quent offence, shall be imprisoned not more than one year.” It will noticed that the party who orders or buys the liquor will be the guilty party. ’ Of course some of the members of Congress and others are talking about States’ rights. They .contend that as the States can, under the Webb-Keyon act, prohibit the shipment of liquor into their Borders1, it is for the States, and not tor Con gress to decide whether any ship ments shall be permitted. Sound doctrine 25 -years ago. But this has passed, along with the passing of many of the rights of the individual formely held sacred and we might as well accept the situation gracefully.

In a former issue of the Sentinel it was pointed out that a. eight horse team had gone over one of our main roads pulling, a load of several tons, during the rainy weather, cutting the already bad roads to pieces. The controversy came np as Io the meacs of protecting our road? agaioBt such abuse and one in ter ested p a rty w rote to M r. H , P . Grier at our State Legislature to see what could be done. Mr. Grier referred thi3 party to the following law which covers the case: Chapter 246,Section I and 2 of the Public Laws of North Carolina: Section .I.— I The Board of the several count ies shall have power aud it shall be their duty to make rules and ordinances not inconsistent w ith the acts of the general assembly to regulate the public roads, high ways, and bridges of their respec tive counties. Section 2— Tney shall have power to make rules and ordiances to regulate the weight of loads permitted to be laid on tbe public Midi and highways and to width of tires per mitted to b6 used. And may pro hibit) the carrying thereon of such loads and the use of sueh tires or vehicles as they may deem heed lessly injurious or destructive; to such roads or bridges. In making such ordinances they may have.re gard to condition of the various roads or parts thereof and the con ’’ dition of traffic thereon, and’ may make different rfiies and ordinance!?’ applicable thereto. According to the above law county, commissioners have ?■ Living On An Income .,These are fast times upon which we have fallen-so fast that it is hard for the average man to keep up with the process ion.. And the pace is telling upon those who are following any of the ordinary pursuits and professions. It is difficult to make both ends meet. It is a fact that salaries have been not correspondingly gone up with everything else and this has been causing some concern and embarras sment. But this is not the most funda- menttal truth of the times.what is more nipressive is that no matter what one's salary may be, one’s tendency is to eat it ujp and that right early. It is in the air. If is the spirit of the iimes. We are in haling it in every breath—this thing of spending as much as we make. It is not alone the case with indivduals. It is true with some industral concerns, with some cities, with some states and, alas! it ik true with the United States gov- erment. Congress has made appropriation which there is no way to meet except by esorting to the extremity of levying spec f it can not live an its legitimate income,' it will simply go on and get the money and make other provisions for paying it back. How like unthinking humanity! But whether practised by the individual, the business house, the city, the state or the nation, the habit is unfortunate and devasting. It is a poor policy. There is hanging over every such an individual and every community the sword of destruction It is a sure way to want and to penury. ii the the ing money to meet a passing emergency is all right if there is any legitimate rea son for believing that the emergency is passing, but men everywhere every day are doing this very thing without the sligh test sort of a reason for believing that to morrow will bring any results different from the results of today. It is vastly better to curtail at every corner, live on what one makes, though it be hard, than to wrap around one’s neck a rope by which one will at. length hang one’s self.—Char lotte News.

The truth of the matter is, every citizen in this county and especially the farmers should have the inter est of the connty enough at heart to do everything possible to help keep our roads in good shape in- stea<| of doing that which will de stroy them. Communitysentiment should be so strong that should there be anyone guilty of using poor judgment in destroying tbe roads, he would be censured by his neighbors. There is uo one thing doing more to destroy the road8 than the dumber wagons Of course we realize that lumber must be hauled, but we do believe chat the lumberman should stop hauling during a rainy season as we are now having. It is nothing uncommon for a half dozen wagons loaded heavily with lumber to go over a road, each wagon running in the track of the front wagon cutting deeper and deeper. ; The roads of the county are our roads, every mans road anb every man in the county should feel this way about them and do everything possible to converse them. Noone man or even a set of men’can keep our roads in A I condition with out the help of the entire com in u nity.—Statesville Sentinel.

Some Large Slave Owner* Who Helped to Make Davie Fimoiu in The Long Ago. I am glad Davie now bas a paper that can and does put patriotism—love of home, country and humanity—above.mere party. A paper that wants this nation to shake every throne on earth—not . by force or violence, but by showing the world something better than thrones:' A government that draws its wisdom, its power and its goodness from all, and. not a part of the people; a government rest ing alone upon the consent of the gov erned; and a government; strong because it is loved, and loved because it is good. That is Bryahism—pure, simple, neble. In our last article we promised to men tion only four more slave owners. Not that they are more worthy than the oth ers, or better than other classes of citi zens—for they were not, as we shall show later—but as samples, showing that even the wealthy were then, as now, not only good citizens; and kind neighbors and friends, but also contributors to the coun ty, State and nation, some history of which every citizen should be proud. “Unde. Baldy Carter,’’ as we were taught to call him, owned a large farm south of Mocksville on the Salisbury road, extending back to, and along Bear Creek. It was, as it is now, a very desirable and valuable farm. His residence was located some distance from the road; a beautiful oak wood park leading down to it, giving it the appearance of one of the most pa latial homes then in the county. We do not remember how many he had in his family, who they were and what became of them, but do remember something of them better and more lasting. We know from youthful experience that they, were clever, kind and generous. Theif home, though neat, elegantly famished and wealthy, yet, even to strangers, it was always a cheerful shelter in time of storm and nightfall. From it, the hungry, and needy .were never turned away empty handed or sad. Kidness is an attribute of God, and is therefore, the greatest and most lasting blessing anyone can trans mit to a community, or to a county; and that is what the Carter family did for Davie.: , Jobn Ford .was also a slave owner. His farm Imd just below Jerusalem. It was well improved with a large and beautiful residence, and convenient outbuildings. He, too, was a good citizen, and always ready and willing to aid ip every good word and. work. Hennmberedhisfriends by the hundreds and as far as he was known; because , his traits of character were magnetic. When a boy, we were in his home often.

I think there was a son called John or William. We know there was one called Gus, and one Albert. James Hobson was; perhaps, the oldest son. He chose the profession of law. Early in life, he moved to Alabama, where he became an eminent lawyer and politician. Hewasfinallyelected Judge, and became famous as a jurist. He is the father of Richmond Pearson Hobson, who will go down in history as one of America’s greatest heroe.°, because of the skill and bravery displayed at Santiago harbor, and which ended the Spanish- American war to the glory of America, and to the astonishment and admiration of the world. This alone should immor talize the name Hobson, and Davie as the home of the free and the brave be cause it gave that name its birth. More anon. J- F. CLICK. Hickory, N. C. HbavUIe News.

COBLE, Pastor.- * Ah lnfantson of Mr. and Mrs. Baxter Rummage, of Cana, died 'Wednesday night and was buried IinImrsdaF.. ? " * C ooleebee In T he Front Once M ore. It was again demonstrated here last week that the town of Cool- eenue is always in the front rank of the so-Cdlled “ model mill vill ages.” The fact that showed this so very clearly was the introduct ion of the profitshaiing plan profit into the running of their number three mill by the Ei win Cotton Mills Company, when last • Thurs day afternoon they divided up thousands of dollars, among their faithful employees, in this mill. This plan has been successfully in troduced by many of tne larger mills in the North, but there are very few of' the Southern plants that have been progressive enough to adopt it. This is aimed as a knock-ont blow, at the “ bug-bear’’ of successful mill operation, that is the constant shiling population that so often makes np the majority of any mill community. This far-, sighted company has realized a- moDg the SiBt that to get the best results from the mill they must have help who are not only effici ent bnt who are faithful as well. And no doubt it was with this in mi ud that tnis distribution of so much money was made. Although the exact figures are not obtainable it is well understood that the a mount of mone/ that each employe was to receive was based on the number of days of faithful service that he gave the company during the past year.—Cooleemee Journal.

Under the suggested universal mili tary training plan, all will be liable to a call to the colors until 32 years of age, passing after the first eleven months of traing to the- first reserve for the next four years and one -months of training to the first reserve and finally into the unorganized re serve until the age of 45 is attained. This is somewhat on the order of the system Napoleon permitted the queen of Prussia after he had conquered Eu rope. Two killed, a number injured, one oi whom is dying and thousand of dol lars’ worth of property laid-to waste,, was the toll taken by a tornado which descended upon Lithonia, Ga., Febru ary 23. The tornado raged through tbe town with the fury of the ele ments gone mad and spent itself against a little mountain three miles distant. It is the opinion in New York that fruit will be much cheaper in the United States in a few days, due to the fact that Great Britain will import nothing but essentials in the future. A riot by the wives of striking em ployees of a sugar refining company, re sulted in the killing of. one man and tbe serious injury of nine others when tbe polic^ and strikers clashed near tbe refinery in Philadelphia- Following many clashes between the police and women food rioters at the ciiy hall In New York City and in con gested tenement districts of the same city. Joseph Hartigan, commissioner -of weights and measures, announces that he is doing everything in his power to stimulate the flow of food stuffs into that city from all parts of the country. The food situation in New York City has reached such an acute stage that there are calls for the establishment by congress oit a food control commis sion to meet the per capita consump tion of food in the United States. New York City women have become desperate in some parts of the city over the food situation. They are set- f’ing upon peddlers and driving them to cover every time one shows him self on the street. Onions are selling at 15 cents a -pound in New York City .and potatoes at 9 and 10 cents a pound. The' Mothers’ Vigilance League of New York City has decided to keep the children out of school until the food situation is alleviated. It is asserted that children can make no progress In school unless they are adequately fed. Maj. Gen. Frederick Funston, com mander of the southern department of the United States army since Feb- uary 15, 1916, died at a hotel in San- Antonio, Texas, a1 few minutes after he had finished diner. He collapsed while seated in the-lobby of the hotel talking with friends, and was playing with a little girl when he. fe ll. un conscious. Death was almost instan taneous. Major General Pershing, who has been in command, of the El Paso dis trict since the withdrawal of the, puni tive expedition from Mexico, will auto matically succeed to the duties of commander of' the southern depart ment until an appointment has been made as the result of - General Fun- ston’s death. Three American duck hunters who ventured into Mexico are reported from Yuma, Ariz., to have been held np by two Mexicans dressed in sol diers’ uniforms and robbed of $55 in cash, two shotguns and a rifle,, and one of them was threatened with death. WashinsEon The purpose of the universal serv ice bill is to constitute a first reserve with a srtength of one and a half mil lion men, ready; to respond instantly to a call to arms, somewhat .on the or der of the Swiss system. I* is estimated by the war depart ment that"- there are in 'the United States not less, than five hundred c-housand boys who* become 19 years of age annually, and this number would be available for military training, A dispatch from Halifax, N. S., says that three women on board a ship which sailed for Europe were permit ted to continue the voyage, but no ( Canadanian women were allowed to;go. A Havana, Cuba, dispatch announces that the veterans'of the-vtar independ ence endorse the stand President Wil son takes regarding the unsettled con ditions in the “Gem of the Antilles.” Advocates of prohibition are divided among themselves over the: expediency of the drastic prohibition measure just Passed by congress. Some friends of the cause declare so drastic a law- will have a reactionary effect. The president is fully determined that the rights of the United, States ehall be respected, but is just as anx ious as any member of the house or senate to avoid war. Wldeliublicity shall be'given the army general staff universal- service bill to the end that both congress and the war department can have the benefit of an enlightened, thoughtful, public opinion upon the. needs and wishes-of the country, The report now is that Rbbert Al len Haden, an American Presbyterian missionary, stationed at Foo Chow, China, perished when the French liner Athos was destroyed by a submarine, 210 miles east of Malta on February 17. The scaring cost of foodstuffs throughout the country was the sub ject under discussion by the cabinet on February 23. • ; It has been suggested in certain offi cial quarters that, in view of the food rise- in prices the government pur chase ten million dollars’ worth of necessities and dispose of them at actual cost. There id a variety of opinion ex pressed as to the cause of the increas ing cost of living. Some hold that the prices are intertwined with the alleged car shortage, and others that prices are affected by the German sub marine warfare. Absolute prohibition legislation took its longest forward stride in the na tion’s history when the house, after two. hours. of uproarious debate, ap proved by a '4' to I majority a senate measure which would raise an ironclad barrier against importation of liquor into prohibition territory. A provision of the “bone dry” legis lation of congress is a provision inhib iting liquor advertisements in prohibi tion states. The United States in a note trans mitted to the Berlin foreign office through the Spanish Ambassador, haB again., demanded the release of , the Americans made prisoners on the prize ship Yarrowdale. It is generally conceded in Wash ington that President Wilson will ad dress congress again on the German crisis.' - Major General Pershing has been formally appointed to succeed General Funston as commander of the south ern department of the army. The engagement of Miss Nona Ha- zlehurst McAdoo to Ferdinand de Moh- renschildt; second secretary of the Rus sian embassy, is announced. Drastic measures of precaution have been adopted by the chief railroads of the east to meet carrying emergency needs for coal and foodstuffs from the Mississippi river to Maine, due to the acute shortage and congestion of freight cars. Major General Funston’s sudden death is a great shock to high offi cials of the army and to President Wilson himself. He was one of the most distinguished commanders of the service. Secretary Baker of the war. depart ment is particularly grieved at the loss of General Funston. “His death is a loss to the army and to the coun try. During the trouble on the Mexi can border his work has been difficult, exacting. and delicate. His conduct has been that of a soldier,” says the secretary.I ______ European War ' More arrests of members of the Gaelic League, an Irish organization operating against the British govern ment in Ireland, have been made. The largest iron and machine works in Europe, located at Seraing, Bel gium, have been wrecked by an in cendiary fire. The loss is placed at ten million dollars. David Lloyd-George, prime minister of all England, announces that the United Kingdom faces a serious food situation, and that in future no at tempt will he made to import non-es- sentiils. Under this head comes such things as apples, oranges^and rye. The breweries in England will have their production curtailed to the min imum anent the food situation and the decision of the prime minister to im port only essentials. ' The Greek king announces th at-Ven- izelos is a traitor to Greece, and that food supply in that little Baltic king dom can only last but a short while Again the British forces fighting in France have attacked German posi tion at several points and been re warded for their efforts by dn aggre gate gain of more than 1,150.yards. South of Armentieres • tbe German line is reported to have been penetrat ed deeply on a front of about 650 yards. , It is reported from Copenhagen, by way. of Berlin, th at fifteen hundred per sons were killed and three thousand wounded' in an explosion of ammuni tion at Archangel, Russia, February 4. Two Americans were on board the Norwegian collier Dalbeatie, from Glas gow to Gibraltar, which was sunk by shell fire. In a forty-minutes battle between a German U-boat and the French line steamship Guyane, on the coast of France, the submarine was sunk. The allies report that they have ad* v a n c e d ’ on''a front "of 500 yards at Ypres. The report that the American flag, bad been ordered down at Brussels, is., all bunco. The question of hauling down the flag at the American lega tion in that city has never been dis cussed between the American minis ter and the German administration.

FOR AN ARMED NEUTRALITY Immediate Response Was Introduc tion in House of Bill Empowering President to Furnish. Merchanfment V/ith. Guns and Gunners- Washington.—President Wilson took the inevitable -step and asked Con gress for authority to use the forces of the United States to protect Ameri can ships and' lives against the Ger man submarine menace—to put the Nation in a state: of armed neutrality. The immediate response was the in troduction in the House of a bill em powering him to furnish guns anil gunners to American merchantmen, ‘to employ such other instrumentali ties and methods” as may become necessary; and providing for a $100,- 000,000 bond issue to be used in'his discretion for .war insuran’ce to en courage American commerce to brave the submarine peril. The'bill may be brought up in the House with special - rules for its immediate consideration. The President’s long expected act ion, while. received in the main with expressions of support, threatens ‘to force an extra session of Congress. The Republicans, disinclined to grant him blanket authority while Congress is. in recess, give evidence of opposing the legislation tne President asks, not for the purpose of withhold ing, it, but to force him to have Con gress in special session to take a hand in the next steps, which they feel will lead to war. The Republicans are re ceiving passive, support from the Democratic element classed as “paci fist” The President’s, advisers deplore this situation for its effect in Ger many, where they are convinced it will feed the official impression that Congress will not support the Presi dent if he finds it necessary to go to war, and that he’is not speaking the sentiments of a united- country. The President's request for author ity to “use other instrumentalities” is the principal sticking point. Even the Republicans and some of the Dem ocrats who |hesitate to give him what he asks, ‘say they would be willing' to give him authority to arm American ships or act on a definite proposal, but are reluctant to “sign a blank check.” The Administration faces this divis ion in its own ranks" in its effort to convince the Kaiser that the United States is now preparing to enforce respect for its rights on the high seas.- Some Democrats point to the Presi dent's own statement that he consid ered-that he had already' implied authority to act, and might do. so without sanction of Congress. Mv. Wilson himself, however, said he pre ferred not to act on implications, and I did not desire to be left without spe- I cific authority and no Congress to which to turn. All these things point I tow;.id an extra session, although a I way out. may. develop at the last mo- ! ment. I . f COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED BEING APPOINTEb TO - AR- ' RANGE PROGRAM. NATIONAL OEFENSE . Will Co-operate In Organizing Indus trial and Civilian Activities of Na tion “In View of the Critical Situ ation.” - New Y ork--A ' tentative program for mobilization of the industrial and civilian activities of the Nation “in view of the critical situation,” will be outlined by a committee of 100 na tional leaders of capital, labor, agricul ture, and organizations of citizens of foreign descent,' it was announced here by V. Everet Macey, president of the National Civic Federation. The committee which is now being appointed, will co-operate with the committee on industrial mobilization of the National Council of Defense. Its formation was authorized at ' the recent meeting in this city of the Fed erations .executive council at night members of the defense council urged the necessity of co-ordinating civilian activities with those of the nation, states and municipalities. “Concerted effort, poise and knowl edge will be requisite to deal with the question of how far the government shall enter into private industry through the stress of war necessity,” Mr. Macey said in a statement out-, lining the scope of the committee’s program. “But it is the duty of American economists, business men, labor and agricultural leaders to take care that this .is done as an ‘emer gency war' measure,’ so to speak. “In the event of war with the Cen tral Powers, this country would face -problems neyer faced by any other country, growing out. the fact that 33,000.000 of its population are either foreign-born or of foreign or mixed parentage and that 28,000,000 came from the countries now a~ war, many having transferred to ..our shores their hatreds and sympathies. “These , transplanted antagonisms will produce their own peculiar prob lems, the solution of which will call for understanding, tact and patience.” EXPLANATION MADE BY THE GERMAN LEGATION TWENTY-SIX AMERICANS WERE ABOARD LACONIA. .

SUGGESTS WIDE PUBLICITY I I PROBERS INTO.LEAK ON PEACE NOTE HAVE COMPLETE REPORT. ' LAWSON CHARGE UNGROUNDED As to “Relative Safety” Promised j Dutch Vessels Navigating the I English Channel. The Hague.—The statement issued by the German legation here to the effect that the torpedoing of the seven putch merchantmen was due “to an extremely regrettable coincidence of circumstances which is unfortunate, but was beyond our control,” contains also an explanation, made, it says, “tc prevent erroneous impressions.” It states that in view of the situa tion of Dutch vessels In English ports the sailing time for these ships was first fixed for February 5, then for February 9, and then for midnight of February 10. Finally “for reasons for which England was to blame,” the sailing date was postponed to Febru ary 22 or March 17. The only date of sailing, for which absolute safety from submarines could be guaranteed was March 17, the statement says, as by that time all German submarines would have possessed instructions In regard • to these vessels. Even then, safety from mines coulil not Be guar anteed, shippers having been, warned on Feb. 6 ,that the danger zone had been mined extensively. For the same reasons, the statement says, until Mar. 5, relative security, meaning safety de-: pendent on good fortune, will apply to the channel to the west of Denmark through which Dutch trans-Allantic shipping must pass.

INJURED IN BIG WRECK Secretary Baker Wants Benefit of .a Thoughtful Public Opinion.—Bill is Sent to Senate By Secretary of Wari Washington.—The Army General Staff universal service bill was trans mitted to the Senate Military Com mittee by Secretary Baker without a definite expression by the Administra tion either on the general subject or the specific proposal.. The Secretary suggested that wide publicity be given the'staff plan “to the end that both Congress. and the War Department can, in any subse quent consideration given to the sub ject, have the benefit of an enlight ened, thoughtful public opinion upon the needs' and wishes of the coun try.” ' , In round numbers, the staff plan would supply a trained force of 4- 000,000 men with one year of intensive’ military instruction. It is estimated by the War College that approximate ly 500,000 boys in their nineteenth year would be available for training annually. They would, under the plan, be liable to cal.1 to the colors until 32 years of age, and then would pass into the unorganized reserve un til 45 years of age. The bill's purpose is to constitute a first reserve of 1.500,000, ready to respond instantly to a call to arms. A second reserve of equal size, but only partially equipped, would require some time to take the field. Eventu ally, there would be 1,000,000 addi tional men ready to fill in gaps at the front. In addition, there would be a regu lar army of 24,400 officers and 285,- S86 enlisted men. Of these, 97,000 would f Drm the oversea forces and 29,000 the frontier forces, the remain der composing the permanent train ing personnel- which could take care of the instruction of reserve recruits annually. If the proportion of avail able men for training was greater ttan estimated the permanent train ing force would have to be propor tionately increased.

The report has been put in final shape after cer tain additional records of New York brokers have been examined. “It is understood the committee finds that’ Thomas W. Lawson’s sen sational charges were not substanti ated; that R. W.

In connection with violations’ o r -newspaper ethics, the report s.ays a sub-committee nas been appointed to confer with the standing committee of correspondents to determine what changes shall be made in the rules regulating the admission to the con gressional press galleries. No recommendations are made, but the practice of selling short on the New York Stock Exchange was criti cised. F. A.

Boggs, president of the Women’s Wilson Union and a member . of the Inaugural Committee, that be cause of a ruling barring from tbe inaugural parade a section of state floats being organized under her direc tion, she had declare'd “the withdrawal of all women from the parade.” Robert N. Harper, chairman of the committee, replied to the announce ment with the statement that Mrs. Boggs had no authority to declare such a withdrawal.. He said women were wanted in the parade, and that the state floats had been barred pnly because the plans for them were in so uncertain a stage that he feared they could not be completed in time to conform to the committee’s stand ards. The decision to withdraw, Mrs. Boggs declared, had the endorsement of the executive board of the'W ilson Union, including the wives of many •Senators and Representatives and other public officials and would re ceive the backing also of millions of women throughout-the country.

HOUSE VOTE W lS 4 TO I ’ Measure Has Already Passed the Sen ate and Will Shut Off AU Shipments ef Whiskey Into States Now Dry. Washington.—Absolute prohibition legislation took its longest forward ftride in the Nation’s history when Ihe House, after two hours of uproar- Aus debate, approved by a four to one majority a Senate measure which would raise an iron-clad barrier against importation of liquor into pro hibition states. It is expected to re ceive the approval of President Wilson within a week, adding immediately .to She “bone dry” territory about one- third of continental United States. The provision is said to be the most far-reaching that could be enacted V the Federal Government, and as sweeping as would be possible until any method short of a National .pro hibition ^amendment. It would cu t off entirely liquor importations, amount ing now to millions of dollars annual ly, into the large number of states which have forbidden manufacture or «ale, but have permitted importation for personal use. . Advocates of prohibition divided <liemselves over the expediency of the step, some friends of the cause de claring so drastic a law would have a raactionary effect. In the same way, those who have opposed prohibition were not unanimous in opposition irhen the vote was taken. The roll sail brought cheers and cries of "bone 4ry” from all- parts of the House, how ever, and the result was greeted with s. noisy demonstration. The vote as officially announced was 821 to 72, but a recheck of the roll changed it to 319 to 72. Party lines were completely broken down, anil numerous Representatives from promi- bition states were recorded in the negative. So large a vote seldom is ,•ecorded on any measure. A provision barring liquor adver tisements from the mails in states that prohibit such advertising is in-: eluded in the measure, which came before the House as a rider to the an- nuaj postoffice appropriation bill, in serted by the Senate last week on mo- don of Senator Reed, by vote 55 to 11. s * y s MENACE OF SUBMARINES WILL SOON BE SOLVED.

D O IN G S O F T H E L E G IS L A T O R S Resume of the Doings of the General Assembly During the Past Week Told in a Brief and Interesting Way For Our Many Readers. Raleigh. The house passed 50 to 28 the Grier ouster- law for. the State Anti-Saloon League forces. The debate continued probably half an hour, the opponents of the measure being Grant, of New Hanover, and others, who believed there, is danger of prosecution of offi cers by some group of five men of an ! opposing faction who might bring charges just for the humiliation and embarrassment of the officer, the ouster provisions covering the- whole scope of official duties. The House defeated the Senate bill to place the age_ of consent at 16 years'. The vote was >41 to 45. A bill passed providing more ade quate rewards for recapture of Catons. Numbers of local game laws were passed. The Senate passed a resolution ask ing the Supreme Court to give an in- | formal opinion on the Constitutional amendment,- especially as to its bear ing on the extension of corporate lim its of cities and towns and whether the Legislature can continue to pass bills for specific, annexations or must Include this m atter in the general act for the government of cities and towns? It was fent to the court by a special messenger. Put on Reading. On motion of Senator McLpod the bill to give Sampson county the right to elect its aboard of education was taken from the unfavorable calendar and put on its readings. It was lost on the 'second, 17 to SI. McLeod claimed that the committee had sent the bill to the .unfavorable calendar on a "prophecy” that the committee had no right to make that the Senate wou.d not pass it. President Gardner laid before the Senate the Stubbs resolution from the •House for calling a constitutional con vention as a special order for the day. It was opposed by Little, of Anson, as an- unnecetsary proceeding as the people wanted no such convention. The vote was by roll call and it passed 43 to 4 and was ordered- enrolled for ratification. • The Justice bill providing machin ery for special school taxes under the constitutional amendments was pass ed without opposition. Aiso a farm life school bill for Jackson county.

State Farm Investigation; The joint committee on the inevsti a;\ Rent and condition of the state farm convict camps concluded its public hearings with a general round up of the case for the prison management by Superintendent J. S. Mann, in which he presented through letter and ordered filed, and otherwise the* gen eral policy of the prison management as to. treatm ent of prisoners and the general policy. The committee pro poses to make up its report to the Leg islature straightway. The bill that passed the House for the. relief of dependent families of state convicts provides that 10 per cent of the earnings of the convicts shall be turned over to dependents. It was amended by Representative Dar den to apply only to convicts making good prison records. The bill was by Sawyer, of Graham. Speaker Mijrphy laid • Before the House the Gardner foil for presiden tial suffrage for women and then took the floor and in a' sarcastic speech de nominated it as a “Constitutional mon- strocity,” and moved to table it. This was done'in short order and by an overwhelming vote. The House passed the bill from the Senate Sirecting the Corporation Com mission, with the assistance of expert accountants, to devise and: install thor oughly modern system of accounting for the state departments. The bill originally, included a system for the counties also, but that was eliminated. There was reconsideration'- of the vote by which the Pollock bill pro hibiting marriages between the races on the same basis that controls the attendance of children in the white -schools was defeated was reconsidered and the measure was debated at length. An amendment by- Senator Linn was adopted enabling offspring of any marriage in violation of the act to inherit property. ... An 'amendment by Senator Jones would specify! that the bill act apply to offspring of mar riages already contracted. This wap lost and the bill passed 33-to 12 The jsrtnt committee on education voted favorable report for t>>n teach ers’’ assembiv bill for th.s certificates of teachers. Xhe Senate vote was un animous and the House voted favor ably and then sont the measure to the appropriation committee without pre judice. It would provide six examin- ners, who would also hold the teach ers’ institutes, that, are now held- by the various counties, at least biennial ly, and county funds now expended by the counties- for these institutes would be turned to the state to bear the exuense of the examiners.' R. H. Wright, Dr. J. Y. Joyner, C. C. Wright, Miss Mary Graham, H. B. Smith, Cf Newbern,- and others advocated the bill. The single opposition speech was by Prof. C. L. Coon, of Wilson. •Long sessions Were held by the leg islative committee investigating char ges against the management of the state farm convict quarters. Chair man B. L. Travis, «f the Corporation Commission, as a former chairman of a prison board of directors, testified that corporal punishment is most es sential for convict control and that records of whippings at the farm were not excessive in view of the types of convicts the camps have. He and' former Governor Kitchin and numbers of others paid highest tributes to the characters 'and official integrity of Capt. Rhem and Capt. Christian, in charge of the farm camps. Governor Kitchin suspected that the sharp re quirement to earn profits to the credit of the prison management had pre vented really adequate' expenditures for the care of the convicts in many respects, but heard no special com plaints of any bad conditions during his administration. He thought $25 per month too little pay for guards. Hearings will be continued. ' The Senate received a special mes sage from Governor Bickett urging the immediate! passage o fthe bill to modify the crop Iein law by limiting profits on time merchants to 10 per cent over the cash price and allowing a charge of 10 per cent commission' in lieu of six per cent interest where money is supplied. Representative Person moved immediate considera tion of the bill. This was done, Sena tor Ross wanted Wilson and Nash Counties exempted. Senator Gough s-poke in opposition to the bill, insist ing that his people are satified with the working of the crop lien law in its present form. He did not believe the bill would have the effect that it was intended to have, but that it would make the condition of the. tenant far mer much harder. House bills passed final reading as fellows: Amend Nash road law; amend law as to Marion voting .dis tricts; amend law as to auditing ac counts in Haywood; facilitate collec tion of taxes in Edgecombe; establish stock law in Chowan; change time for courts in'Orange; provide calendar for Forsyth criminal courts; prohibit liquor shipments into Lincoln county; restrict liquor delivery in Union coun ty; roads for Caldwell; regulate sale of liquor in Dare ,county; correct Bun combe guide posts; authorize auditing Davie county officers and expenditure’ of flood money; regulate sales and inspection o t gasoline. Another general bill passed was tha' to change the name of the A. and M College to the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineer- ing. The Senate passed ,the Allen bill for intermediate sentences. Also the bill of Roberts, of Buncombe, from the House providing for absolute di- oirce by either party after ten years’ separation. The new school board bill passed without amendment. It provides that both parties in every county shall nominate members of the school hoard iii party prim aries and that the Legislature shall appoint its choice of the two primary nominees, ' Limit OfFice Terms. . Thei bill to lim it the terms of state officers to two. term s and county offi cers to three terms, in line with the recommendation of Governor Bickett, came up in the senate and was dis posed of in short order, a'm otion by Long, of Halifax, .to table being car ried without discussion, and -then a motion to reconsider and then to ta ble that motion being put through to apply the “clincher” so that it can not be resurrected at this session: There was report without prejudice for the Representative Gardner reso lution providing for a vote by women at the next general election as ,to whether they want suffrage and that if 50,-000 so vote there shall be held an election on the question of amending the Constitution. Representative Clark’s bill which proposes an exchange of state 4 per cent bonds for county 5 per cent bonds for road building is now within one notch of being a law. It passed the house with a whoop and it took ita second reading in the senate and took its pi ape on the calendar again. Sena tor Little opposed the measure.

TECTIVE TARIFF IS URGENT. Belligerent Nations Already Are For mulating Plans for Resuming, Full Measure of " Competition in Trade After War Ends. The urgency of America’s need of a protective tariff is definitely shown by British plans for diverting war pro ductivity into the useful channels of peace. Already the high-water mark has been reached and passed in the manufacture of British guns, shells and all kinds of ammunition for the al lied armies; England has been doing remarkably well in supplying the outside world with many products while her chief energies were devoted to war. Now, however, she is preparing to increase her exports, thus diminishing the steady outflow of gold and checking the decline of the British exchange rate. The ministry of munitions is respon sible for the statem ent-that there are now 4,623 private factories and works, ordinarily employed in various lines of metal production, which have been taken over by the government In ad dition to the regularly controlled fac tories. No less than 2,250.000 em ployees are working in the. govern ment-controlled factories, exclusively devoted to the manufacture of . guns and shells. Other evidences, equally concrete, have been given in support of the fact that the belligerent, nations are pre-. paring to resume the full measure of competition in the markets of the world even before the war ends. This country cannot afford to "wait until the close of the war .for a determination of its industrial policies. Tariff Adjustment Demanded. As soon as inay .be—p d the sooner the better—the whole revenue question should be taken in hand and straight ened out. It must be, if we are to have smooth sailing for'the government and any sort of assurance for business, Never mind if old tariff theories are knocked sky-high, or into that recep tacle made famous by Mr. Wilson—“a cocked hat.” We have entered ,upon conditions so new and important they carry theories of their ,own. It is impossible to forecast w hat the situation will be at home or abroad at the close of the war or for a few years thereafter. But our calculation I; to increase our foreign trade as much as possible ; and that, of course, will re quire us to increase our output corre spondingly; and that in turn will re quire that we afford our industries all the protection necessary for their up keep, enlargement and prosperity.— Washington Star. South Is In the Saddle. “Mr. Mann called attention to the fact that of 32 men appointed to sec ond lieutenancies in the marine corps last week, 19 came from South Caro lina and Virginia and only ^hree from the entire North. Thirteen were from South Carolina and six from Virginia. Mr. Mann also developed the fact that the Southerners were given their places without any mentjil tests.”— Washington dispatch. One of the most necessary things to be done for the safety of the country and the proper conduct of our defense in the present critical situation is the elimination of spoilsmen from the de fense departments and committees. No man who at such a time'as this will ex ploit the sprvlce should be at the head of the navy department! Sltfpeful Spectacle. It is a shameful spectacle, which it is a . w inder the public can endure, in view of the painfully high cost of liv ing and the absolute certainty that the new taxes which the looters are pre paring to lay to answer the ‘‘pork-bar rel’’ demands will produce a. further advance in prices. ' To meet the "emergency” it is proposed to sell Pan am a canal bonds to the amount of some $230,000,000, to increase the in heritance tax and make a levy of from 5 to 8 per cent on the profits of all business In excess of 8 per cent. There is not one of these tax increases which will not make the high cost of living still higher for every American con sumer.—Pittsburgh Press. ■ Downward and' Upward. Some weeks ago Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo issued his annual re port, which predicted a deficit of about $185,000,000 for the fiscal year to end June 30, 1918. Now he is out with a: statem ent to the effect that $379,000,- 000 of additional funds must be raised for that year. It will be noticed that although the Wilson administration revised the import taxes downward every time they revise their estimates of expenditures they revise-them up ward. .Bunkered! - Muchcreditlsduetothosesenatorswho set themselves resolutely to pre vent the confirmation of the nomina tion of Doctor Grayson to be medical director of th<5 navy with the rank of admiral! • , It is predicted that the preferment will never reach a vote in this congress and that Mr Wilson will renew^the nomination after March 4.

Jeffries, superintendent of the mountain division, sends Henry de Spain, w ith Bob Scott and John LeFevre c.s assistants to Calabasas to break up the gang. Several encounters occur soon afterward. De Spain becomes smitten with pretty Nan Morgan, niece of the gang leader, but is snubbed. In a fight De Spain bills two and wounds two gangsters and himself is badly hurt He disappears and his friends hunt him In vain. . He wakes In a cave Later when he is delirious from wounds, Nan finds him and leaves food se'eretly. . CHAPTER Xll—Continued. But when he opened his eyes later, and with n clearer head, he found food and drink near. Uuable to believe his sight, he fancied his wavering senses deceiving him, until he put out his hand and felt actually the substance of what he saw. He took up a bottle of milk incredulously, and sipped at it with the caution of a man not unused to periods of starvation. He broke eggs and swallowed them, at intervals, hungrily from the shell; and meat he cached, animal-like, in nearby cran nies, and, manlike, in his pockets. He was determined, if she should come again, to intercept his visitor. For forty-eight'hours he tried cat-naps with an occasional sandwich to keep up his strength. Nan returned un seen, and disappeared despite his watchfulness. A new supply of food proved she had been near, but that it would be hard to time her-coming. When she did come, the third time, an innocent snare discovered her BFW- ence. It was just before day, and De Spain ha'd. so scattered small obstacles —handfuls of gravel and little chips of rock—that should she cross the ledge in the dark she could hardly escape rousing him. The device betrayed her. "Fm awake,” announced De Spain at once from his retreat. When she stopped at the words he could not see h er; she had flattened herself, standing, against a wall of the ledge. He iWaited pa tiently. tcYou give me no chance to thank you,” he went on after a pause. "I don’t need any thanks,” she replied with calculated coolness. “I am hop ing when you are well enough you will go away quietly in the night. That will be the only way you can thank me.” “I shall be as glad to go as you can be to have me,” rejoined De Spain. “But that won’t be thanking you as I am going to. If you think you can save my life and refuse my thanks as I mean to'express them—you are mis taken. I will be perfectly honest. Ly ing out here isn’t just what I’d choose for comfort. B ut if by doing it I could see you once in two or three days—” “You won’t see me again.” . “No news could be worse. And if I can’t, I don’t know how Fm going to get out at all. I’ve no horse—you know that. I can’t stand on my foot yet; if you had a light you might see for yourself. I think I showed you my When He Opened His Eyes Later, He Found Food and Drink Near. gun. If you could tell m e where I am—” H e-halted on. the im p lie d question. Nan took ample time to reply. “Do you mean to-tell me you .don’t know where you are?”' she asked, and there was a touch of vexed incredulity in her tone. ' ' > . De Spain seemed unmoved by her skepticism. " I can’t tell you anything else,” he said simply. “You couldn’t have any idea I crawled up here for the fun of it.” . .- head with a soft bullet in the way he tore my father’s open. A fter I get through with that man”—he hesitat ed—“they may call me whatever they like. You want me . out of the gap,” D ei Spain concluded, his voice un changed. 4T want to get o u t Come back,- once more,- in the daytime. I will see what I can do with my foot by that time.” H e paused. “Will you come?” ' She hesitated. “I t . would be too dangerous for me to come up here In ‘I’ve been trying to think,” she re turned, . and he perceived in the hard ness of her voice how at bay she felt in giving him the least bit of infor mation, "whether I ought to tell, you anything at all—” “I couldn’t very decently take any unfair advantage after what you’ve done, could I?” _ “Then—you are in Morgan’s gap,” she said, swiftly, as if she wanted it off her mind. . There was no movement of surprise, neither was there any answer. “I supposed, when I found you here, you knew that,” she added less resolutely; the darkness and silence were plainly a strain. “You are at the foot of Mu sic mountain, about a mile from’ where I live.” “Yon must have thought I meant to raid your house. I didn’t. I was hit. Ijgot mixed up in trying to get away. You want me out of here?” “Very much.” “No more than I want to get out. Perhaps by tomorrow I could walk a few miles. I should'have to assassi nate somebody to -get some ammuni tion.” v . “It wouldn’t be hard for you to do that, I presume.” * H er words and her tone revealed the intensity of her dislike and the depth of her distrust. He was silent for a moment. Then he said, without resentment, “You are ashamed already of saying that, aren’t you?-. “No, I am not," she answered de fiantly. “Yes, you are. ‘ You know it isn-’t true. If you believed it, you never would have brought food here to save my life.” “I brought it to save som^ of my own people from possible death at your hands—to prevent another fight— to see if you hadn't manhood enough after being helped, to go away, when you were able to move/peaceably. One cartridge might mean one life, dear to me.” “I know w.hose life you mean.” “You know, nothing about, w hat I mean.” , “I know better than you know your self. If I believed you, I shouldn’t respect you. Fear and mercy, are two different things. If I thought you were only afraid of me,. I shouldn’t think much of your aid. Listen—I never took the life of any man except to defend my own—” “No murderer that ever took any body’s life in this country ever said anything but that.” “Don’t class me w ith murderers.” ’ “You are known from one end of the country to the other as a gunman.” • He answered impassively: “Did these men who call me a gunman ever tell you why I’m one?” She seemed in too hostile a mood to answer. _ “I guess not,” he went on. “Let me tell you now. The next time you hear me called a gunman you can tell them.” “I won’t listen,” she exclaimed, res tive. - “Yes, you will listen,” he said qui etly; “you shall hear every word. My father brought sheep into the Peace river country. The cattlemen picked on him to- make an example of. He went out, unarmed, one night to take care of the horses. My mother heard tw.o shots. He didn’t come back. She went to look' for him .. He' was lying under the corral gate with a' hole smashed through his jaw by a4 rifle bullet that tore his' head half off. De Spain did not raise his voice, nor did he hasten- his words. “I was -born one night six months after that,” he continued., “My mother died that night When a neighbor’s wife took me from her arm and wrapped me in a blahket, she saw I carried the face of my father as my mofher had seen it the night he was murdered. That," he said, “is what made me a ‘gunman.’ Not whisky:—not women—not cards— just what you’ve heard. And I’ll tell you something else you may tell the men tha.t call me a gunman.

It was her final protest. “Count, some day, on knowing it ” CHAPTER XIII. Crossing a. Deep River. A grizzly bear hidden among the haystacks back of the corral would have given Nan much less anxiety than De Spain secreted in the heart of the Morgan stronghold. Her troubled speculations were reduced now almost to wondering when De Spain would leave, an d ,. disinclined though she felt to further parley, she believed he would go the sooner if she were to consent to see him again. T hat day Nan washed her.hair. On the second day she' found herself de ciding conscientiously to see De Spain for the last time, and toward sunset. She began dressing early for her trip, picking the best of her limited stock of silk stockings, choosing the freshest of her few pairs of tan boots. AU of her riding skirts looked shabby as she fretfully inspected them ; but Bonita •pressed out the newest one for the hurried occasion, while Nan used the interval, with more than usual care, on her troublesome hair—never less tractable, it seemed, In her life. De Spain Was sitting with his back against a rock, and the look on his face was one of reflection and irreso lution rather than of actiop and de cision. But he looked so restored after his brief period of nourishment that Nan, when she stepped up on the ledge a t suaset, would not have known the Wreck she had seen in the same place the week before! H is heart' jumped a t ' the sight of her young face, and her d e a r, coura geous eyes surveyed him questioning- Iy as he scrambled to his feet. “I. am going to, tramp out* of here tomorrow night,” he confided to her after his thanks. “It is Saturday; a lot of your men will be In Sleepy Cat— and they won’t all be. very keen- sighted on' their way back. I can get a good start outside-before daylight” She heard him with relief. “What will you do then?” she asked. “Hide. Watch every chance to crawl a mile nearer Calabasas. By the way,” he added, his glance resting on her right side'as he noticed the absence of her holster, “where is your protector today?” • Shainade no; answer. “Fine form,” he said coldly,-.-“to come un armed- on an errand; o f: mercy xto a desperado.” Nan flushed with' vexation. “Per haps .you’ve forgotten you left a car tridge belt behind once,yourself,” she returned swiftly. ;. De Sjmin1 convicted, finally laid his fingers over the butt of his empty re volver. “H ow did, you find that out?" She tossed her head. They were standing only a few. feet apart, De Spain supporting himself now- with his .left hand high up against the wall; Nan, With her ^shoulder lightly against it; both had become quizzicaL “Other people forget, too, then,” was all she said. - “No,” he protested, “I didn’t forget; not that time. -1 went over to the joint to get a cup of coffee and ex- . pected to be backwithih five - minutes, never dreaming of walking into a bear trap.” He drew hid revolver and, breaking it negligently, took out a single cartridge. “Take this.” He held the cartridge in his left hand and took two halting steps toward her— since you are unarmed, I will be, too. Not that this puts us on an even .foot ing. .I don’t mean that. Nothing would. You would be too much for'm e in any kind of a contest, armed -or unarmed.” “What do you mean?” she demand ed to hide her confusion. And she saw that eaCh step he took cost pain, skillfully concealed. “I mean,” he said, “you are to take this cartridge as a remembrance' of iny forgetfulness and your adventure.” She drew back. “I don’t want it,” “Take.it.” He was persistent. She allowed him to drop the loaded shell into her hand. “Now,” he continued, replacing his gun, “if I encounter any of your people in an attem pt to break through a line, and somebody gets killed, you will know, when you bear the story, that this time, at least, I didn’t ‘start i t ” ’ He put her objections aside, enjoy ing being so near her and happy that she made no retreat. “My reputa tion," he insisted, “has suffered a little in Morgan’s gap. I mean that at least one wh6 makes her home under Music mountain shall know differently of me. W hat’s that?” He heard a sound. “Listen!” The two, looking at each other, trained their ears to hear more through the rush of the falling water. “Someone is coming,” said De Spain. Nah ran lightly to where she could peep over 'the ledge. Hardly pausing as she glanced down, she stepped quickly back. ‘T il go rigfit on up the mountain to the azalea fields,” she said hastily. He nodded. “Ml hide. Stop. If you are questioned, you don’t know Fm here. You must say so for your own sake, not for mine." She was gone before he had finished. De Spain drew quickly back to where he could secrete himself. In another moment he heard heavy footsteps where he had stood with his visitor. But the footsteps crossed the ledge, and their sound died away up the path Nan had taken. Then snatches of two voices began to reach him. He could distinguish -Nan’s' voice and at intervals the heavier tones of a man. The’ two were descending. In a -few moments they reached the ledge, and' De Spain, near at hand, could hear every word. • “Hold on a minute,” said-the man roughly. H is voice was heavv and his utterance harsh. “I must go home,” objected Nan. “Hold on, I tell you,” returned, her companion. De Spain could not see, but he began already to feel the scene. “I w ant to talk to you.” “We can talk going down,” parried Nan. . • De Spain heard her hurried foot falls. , “No, you don’t,” retorted her companion, evidently cutting off her retreat. “Gale Morgan!” There was a, blaze in Nan’s ' sharp exclamation. “What do you mean?” 1T mean you and I are going to have this out right here, before we leave this ledge.” “How dare you stop me!” 'TH show you what I dare, young lady. Y oulftalk things over with me right here, and as long as I like,” he re torted savagely. “Every time I ask you to marry me you’ve got some new excuse.” “It’s shameful for you to act in this ■way, Gale.” She spoke low and rap idly to her enraged suitor. De Spain alone khew it was to keep her hu miliation from his own ears, and. he made no effort to follow her quick, pleading words. The moment was most embarrassing for two of the three in volved. But nothing that Nan could say would win from her cousin any reprieve. "When you came back from school I told Duke I was going to marry you. He said, all right,” persisted her cous in stubbornly. “You said you’d marry me.” Nan exploded: ‘T never, never said so in this world.” H er voice shook with indignation. “You know that’s a'downright falsehood.” - “You said you didn’t care for any body else,” he fairly bellowed. “Now I want to know whether you’ll marry me if I take you over to Sleepy Cat tomorrow?” ; '“No!” Nan flung out her answer reckless o f. consequence. 'TH never marry you. Let me go home.” “You’ll go home when I get through With you. You’ve fooled me long enoughs’ Her blood froze at the look in his face. “How dare you!” she gasped. “Get out of my Way!” “You little vixen!” He sprang for ward and caught her by the wrist. She fought like a tigress. H e dragged her struggling into his arm s/ But,above her half-stifled cries and his grunting laugh, Morgan heard a sharp vbice : “Take you hands off that girl I” - Whirling, with. Nan in his savage arms, the half-drunken mountaineer saw De Spain ten feet away, his right hand resting on the grip of his re volver. Stunned, but sobered by mor tal danger, Morgan’s grasp relaxed. Nan, jerking away, looked- at De Spain and instantly stepped in front of her cousin, on whom De Sbain seemed about to draw. ■ “W hat are you doing here?” demand- Morgan, with an enraged oath. “I left some, business with you the other day at Calabasas half finished," said De Spain. “I’m here this after noon to clean it up. ' Get away from that girl!” His manner frightened even Nan. The quick step to the side and' back— poising himself like a fenper—his re volver restrained a moment in its sheath by an eager right arm, as if at any instant it might leap into dead ly play. De Spain's angry face and burning eyes photographed themselves on her memory from that moment. But whatever he ineqnt, she had her part to do. She backed, with arms spread low at her sides, directly against her cousin. “You shan’t fight,” she cried at De Spain. “Stand away from that m an!” re torted De Spain. ttYpu shan’t kilt my cousin. W hat do you mean? IVhat are you doing here? Leave u s!” “Get away, Nan, I tell you. I’ll finish him,” cried Morgan, puncturing every word with an oath. She whirled and caught her cousin in her arms. “He will shoot us both if you fire. Take me away, Gale. You coward!” she exclaimed, whirling again with trembling tones on Do Spain, “would you kill a woman?” De Spain saw the danger was past. It needed hardly an instant to. show Iiim that Morgan had lost stomach for a fight. He talked wrathfully, but he made no motion to draw.' “I see I’ve got to chase you into a fight,” said De Spain contemptuously, and starting gingerly to circle the hesitating cousin. Nan, in her excitement, ran directly toward the enemy, as if to cut off' his movement “Don’t you dare put me In danger,” she cried, facing De Spain threaten- ELPFUL EALTH INTS Choose an agree* able diet Keep the digestion normal See that the liver is active, and The bowels always regular S taid weakness develop, TRY HOSTETTER’S Stomach Bitters Whirling to Face Her Cousin, She Took the Chance to Back Directly Against De Spain. ingly. “Don’t you dare fight my cousin here.” “Stand away from me,” hammered De Spain, eying Morgan steadily. “He is wounded now,” stormed Nan, so fast she could hardly .frame the words. “You shan’t kill him. H you are a man, don’t shoot a wounded man and a woman. You shan’t shoot. Gale! protect yourself!” Whirling to face her cousin, she took the chance to back directly against De Spain.

Meacham, superintend eat of the Piedmont Experiment Station, formerly the Ir|dell Test Farm, says the recent cold snap has damaged small grain at least 25 per cent. Mr. Meacham says that if it does not rain or snow within a' few days so as to set the W ilson Im pedes Legislation. IS !IliiIIiiIia With but twentv-two days before it untill the end of the present sess ion, the united States Senate. on Feb ruarv sixth, closed its doors and con sumed five and one half hours of precious time considering the nomi nation of Dr. Cary T. Grayson to be a. medical director*in the navy with the rank of rear admiral. Thisques- tion is one which the President him self thrust upon the senate through his excess of gratitude to a man who has rendered him a personal service which will be rewarded—if Grayson is confirmed—by the United States. Many other precious hours are likely to be consumed on the subject, if the President persists. There are a good many doctors in. the naval service who have good records, whose pro fessional attainments are superior to Grayson’s, and whose rank and leng th of service exceed his. To pro mote one of them might carry him a few numbers up the line and might leap over a few men, Yet such .a nomination could be confirmed in five minutes. Grayson’s confirm ation. however, would be'to the de triment of more than a hundred bet ter and. older men, would have paralyzing effect uoon the morablp of the navy’s medical corps and would serve onlv to emphasize that a per sistent President can make any branch of the national defence an in strument for paying what most peo ple would regard as a personal debt Most rich patients would have given Dr. Grayson a handsome fee and perhaps wodld have presented him with a gold watch or a diamond ring as a personal rememberance. Pres ident W ilson seeks to give his physi- can an eight thousand-dollar job for life; and to secure the recollection of th^doctor’s bpnefaetor every time he fcfgns the payroll during the next forty years or so. Sun Past Its Prim e; Has 15,000,000 Y ears Ta Live. That the sun is past its prime and has only 15,000.000 years to live were last staements made during a lecture delivered last night by Joseph Mc Cabe of London, before the Academy of science and Art. It will be. warm next summer, but the sun is fading away, “he said “ It is old, very old; it is past its prime of life. In 15,000,000 years it will be cold and dead.” He also declared that any unusual disturbance throwing the earth off its balance would mean oblivion. “If the sun deviates in the slight est from the earth it will be all up with the world,” he said. He quiet- d awe-stricken audience by declare- ing if such a calamity did occur they would have plenty of time to settle affairs in America,“even if we don’t in England.” The United States adopted a dras tic amendment to the postal bill making it a crime for persons in dry States to order, purchase or cause to be transported any intoxicating liquors into such States. ■Spring is ambling along, and those of us who can not afford an auto can continue to exersise our joints by ■hopping to one side. : We can’t understand the demand for the minting of a 2$ cent piece at this time, when a nickel lacks 34 per, cent of enough purchasing power to buy nothing.—Houstion Post. T his “ Pig” Panned O ut. Lots of fofks brag because they are too wise, to buy a “Pig in a poke,” but there is at least one man in Lexington who enjoys very much having done this very thing9. Several years ago Mr. L.L.Barnes, who untill this week owned the Variety Store here, was in the mercantile business at Ladonia, Texas, but he wanted to come back to the Old Horth State. So he re dqced his stock to a few hundred dollars, boxed this up, advertised it for sale or swap and came on to Lexingtou. A man wrote him he Borne land down in Louisiana that was not overflowed by the rivers and land in Lousiana that is not overflowed is usually worth gettin hold of. Mr. Barnes never saw the land and the man who owned knew little about it, but -Mr.Barn es took np the offer and the > iade was made. Some two years passed and Mr. Barnes was plying hi- business here, when he began to get letters with checks for options on his Louisiana land. Then came tlegrams wanting to bny or lease. Soatewmonths ago Mr. BarueB decided to visit his property. He went and found that oil had been struck in rich quautitiea on several sides, so he leased his property <br a year at a handsome sum and if oil is .struck he will get some fine r«ya®|pR “Never buy a pig in a pobe” doesn’t get anywhere with Mr. Barnes.—Lexington Dispatch.
