JUNE 6. 1917.NUMBER 47 DAVIE COUNTY 50 YEARS AQQ. So far as I know, this article doses my articles on Daviecounty 50 years ago. I have enjoyed them. .It brought to memory many , pleasant incidences with a few sad ones. In them, if we have interested and helped the readers of The Record, or any reasonable number of them, we shall feel well paid for the little time and thought given to them However, if there is any subject or phase that we have overlooked that shold have been noted, let someone suggest it, and if we know anything about it we will tell what we know and think of it. Thecitizensof Davie have great, cause to feel proud pf their county. It is one of the best agricultural counties in the piedmont section of. the State, Better than many counties we know. And its farmers are just as progressive and independ ent as those of any county. As for stock,—horses, mules, cows and hogs —for years Davie led all. other counties, especially for fine horses. But Davie has not made the progress in raising fine horses, cows and hogs of late years that some have, that too. on much poorer lands Davie ought to have some of the best dairy farms in the State. The farmers ought to organize a co operative creamry. They do not cost as much as some people think. They help farmers and bring money from a distance. They help all classes and business. Then Davie should have. more manufacturing plants. They not only furnish employment for labor, but create a market for all kinds of food and rainment. It Eilso would induce people to come and settle a* mong you, bring their money, their skill and their labor. It takes all these to make a county or -,a town. Moeksville, by putting Up $50,000 to 100,000 in manufacturing plants, would induce that much more .to come and to take stock, then it would become one of the livest and. most progressive little towns in the State. Because it would have a superior backing in the way of rich, fertile farming lands around it. I hope some day Davie will have this; she will realize the importance of it. She will have to do this, if she keeps pace with her sister counties; if she wishes to not onlv keep her own good people at home but to induce capital, labor and skill to come to and join her. Look what Davie has done in the way of helping other counties and towns that were not only willing to do themselves, but to help and to in duce others to join them. See what she has done for Salisbury, and es pecially Winston. Many other in viting and live towns have been helped by Davie, bv her people going to them and joining with their liberality and their spirit of progress. Even Hickory can boast of some of Davie’s energy, thought. Emd work: One of the first manufactures in Hickory was a Davie man. Now it is a live manufacturing little city. In fact, two of the original rnahu- factures here were Davie men. The second and first fine brick residence ever erected here was by a Davie county man. She has many now. The first brick or modern church building here was planned and erect ed by sole energy of a Davie county man. Now Hickory leads most towns in the way of fine, good churches. The inspector of all rail road cars here is a Davie county man. The first steam laundry ever started and the only one of note here now, was started and is now being run by a Davie county man. The eldest editor now in Hickory was a Davie county boy and is yet. The Davie county boy now running The Record in Moeksville, got his training in Hickory, and that too by a Davie county man. So, after all, there is a tie that hinds Hickory and Davie together. Itnever can be broken. We Bhall die with praise on our lipsfor Davie, for what it has done for us. "All the irood in us had its planting, its root ing and its training in Davie soil, in Davie influences, in Davieschools, nnd in Davie religion. In Davie’s soil rests the ashes-of father and •nother, brothers and sistere, Emd JIx dear little children.

McQuage put an innocent looking little notice In the Wadeoboro Ansonian a few weeks ago stating that he expect ed to enforce the automobile laws of the town ot Lilesville and on Bunday he inaugeiated his cam paign with the result that 27 or. more are to appeal* oefore a justice in that town and explain their reasons for going through .at a speed in excess ol 1 0 miles per hour. Tnduded in the nnntber is the mayor, a number of commiss ioners a^d others prominent in the business, offical and social life of the town and other parts of the county. Colonel F. J. Coxe alleges a flat tire and a slow car in front that made it utterly impossible for him to make the speed required to shatter the ordinance. Another attorney has been accused of en cotuaging the “movement” in or der to collect fees and pay himself out. One of the unfortunates is particularly peeved over the treat-! ment that appears in store for him. “ Why” he says, “I passed the. de lightful little villiage at a very moderate speed, saw Jesse sitting under the shade and spoke to him cordially.” Little did he realize ihat in Jesse’s hand there reposed a modern stopwatch, and that he himself was obout to be a victim of the law’s drag net. In this disease it is important that the cough be kept loose and expectoration easy, which can be done by giving Cham- beriain*8 Cough Remedy.. Mrs. P. H. .Mar tin, Peru, Ind., writes, “My two daughters had whooping cough. I gave them Chamj Oeriain1S Cough Retnedy -and it .worked like a charm.” D ow n In C um berland. University News Letter. The papers report that the farm ers of Cumberland have increased their cotton acreage 25 per cent and their fertilizer bills 50 per cent. Which is all right, provided they have also planned to produce treble the amount of food and feed supplies the coun’y produced n 1910. At that time, the county need ed to import nearly two and a third million dollars worth of staple food stuffs. Tf Cumberland is not more near ly self-feeding this year than it was when the last census' was taken, the county faces bankruptcy —no matter what the price of cot ton may be. Twenty cent cotton buys mighty little salt pork at 25 cer.ts a pound, or corn at $1.75 SC bushel or flour at $16 a barrel. At the present price of food stuffs Cumberland needs to rasie 5 million dollars worth of bread and meat more than she produced in 1910. The bankers in Fayetteville need to apply the screws to the farm situation in Cumberland, as the State Bankers Association has been doing fn Texis the last three years, or may be so.'ThisyearCumbeiland is likely to establish bevond debate the fol ly of buying farm supplies with cotton money, or the wisdom of producing cotton money on a home raised basis bread and-meat basis. We are watching Cumberland this year with peeuilar interest. HOW’S THIS? We ofter One Hundred Dollars reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall s Ca tarrh Cure. P .

They know full well that these extor tionate prices are not the result of. the war. They know that some body-is getting rich .off the poor and it is no ’-state of mind” that has brought it about either. It is old fashioned robbery, and the government ought to turn its at tention to this evil which threatens actual want in so many homes. The other day we were told by a gentleman that he wrote his -con gressman and urged him to start an investigation in to the unprec edenied prices for the necessities of life. . The congressman replied that the government is too busy with large affairs to bother with little tbingslikefood prices. But that congressman will discover that this robbery of the people is no little thing. T hew olfisattbe door. Thousands of hard working men who have supported their families in comfort heretofore, are finding it impossible, with their wages, to provide sufficient food for those depending upon them People must eat.

Philips of Ohatta nooga, Tenn., former pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church at New Berne, was arrested at Douglass, Ga., a few days ago on a warrant charging him with treasonable and seditious utterances against the government of the Uuited States. Mr. Philips, sayB the report, while conducting a revival at Douglaes, said in the -pulpit that this was a rich man’s war and a poor- man’s fight, and this so enraged his hearers that but lor the interfer ence of a navy recruting officer, who was present, it is said that be would have been roughly handled. He was placed in jail but was later released when he evplained that he did’nt mean to say it. Es. A UNIQUE RECORD Very Few Like It In Our Broad Republic.

It is usually brought on by eating too rap idly or . too much, or of food not suited to your digestive organs. If you will eat slowly, masticate your food thoroughly, ea( but little meat and none at all for supper, you will more than likely avoid the sour stomach without taking any medicine whatever. When you have sour stomach take one of Chamberlain’s Tab lets to aid digestion.

These being extraordi nary times—nations at war, lives being sacrificed, land being laid waste, we should strive to show our patriotism in some form. “If you are not going to join the fightiDg line at the front', yov will have to join the workiog line ii. the rear by helping to feed your selves and our soldiers. “This is a warning to all vagrl ants, white and black.

Fairbrother in his Greens boro Record, what’s the use to wait for the call of death? W hy not go now?” Ifyou feel that life isn’t going to be worth living, colonel, why not make death count? Scoot to Washington, get in the ranks, go with Pershing’s expedition to France. Then ask them to put you in the first trenches and if Death doesn’t meet you. charge the Ger man armv. single-handed. A year or two later they’ll be unveiling monuments and statues to Gol. Fairbrother’ the bravest of the brave.

It will do the country no harm if he takes their counsel. War is the gravest of national undertakings, and even the highest personal regard for the President cannot make one feel that he alone is to be clothed with the responsibility for derlermin - ing how it shall be conducted.

This fish story—and it is a fish story unusual—is from Ihe Boone Qamocratand the Landmark gives that paper full responsibility for il; “A young fellow from Tennessee (name unknown to us) was fishing in the Watauga one day last week. Justashe landed a 4-inch fish, a passer-by suggested that he must throw it back, as it was under size. The boy’s reply was. ‘I’ll eat this fi3h if I have to eat it raw’! Fifty cents was offered him to swallow it alive. He accepted the coin, swa’- Iowed the wriggling trout, bit a Iiz- zard in twain with which to re-bate his hook, and continued to fish, not thinking what fearful results would follow his rash act. He was soon taken violently ill. and in spite of fine medical aid he grew worse, and a3 a last resort his body was opened by Drs. Harbin and Perry and the fish was removed, but his condition was considered most critical when last heard from ” T he Chicken In T he G arden. Cbbarlotte Observer.

W ashington!—The first of the ad m inistration food bills, already pass ed by the House, passed the Senate w ithout a record vote. Numerous am endm ents were attached to the measure, which provides for a food survey and crop stimulation* and it was sent to conference where the dif ferences will be threshed out while tfie two houses are considering the sec ond adm inistration measure, providing for food control and prfce-flxing. The biU, as finally accepted by the Senate, provides for a comprehensive survey of food resources, and for the stim ulation of agriculture, and re stricts drastically the storing of food stuffs, fuel and other necessities and speculation in futures. The restrictive provisions were added by the Senate. Hoarding or storage of food, fuel or other necessaries of life in order to timit the supply or affect the prices •would be made a felony under the sen* ate hoarding amendment, but farmers who hold their own products would be excepted.

THE DAVjE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. REVISE PLANS Fl m H SIXTEEN CANTONMENTS INSTEAD OF THIRTY-TWO WILL BE LOCATED. M C E MANY UNDER ClINIIiISS Shortage of Funds, Material, Labor and Transportation Facilities Caus ed the Number of Cantonments to Be Reduced. W ashington.—Im portant revisions in the plan for training the war Army have been made by the W ar Depart ment, which announced that the half million m en to be called to the colors in September will be concentrated in sixteen cantonments' instead of thirty- two, and that many of the forces prob ably will be put into tents instead of wooden barracks. Lack of funds, material, labor and transportation facilities, Secretary Ba ker said, caused the decision to reduce the number of cantonments. The lar ger number seemed practicable, but that would have m ade a much greater demand on the overtaxed resources at the Department’s command. Although the change will upset all the tentative plans for camp locations made by departm ent commanders, it is not expected to delay beyond Sep tem ber I the mobilization of the great draft Army. Four of the sixteen can tonment sites provided for under the new plan already have been selected, and choice of the others Is expected soon. Secretary Baker indicated that building would proceed as rapidly as possible. The four sites selected are at American Lake, W ash.; Atlanta, Ga.; Ayre, Mass., and W rights town, New Jersey. A more plentiful suppiy or canvas than expected m ade it possible to put some of the troops under tents. Most of the tents used probably will be placed at Southern camps. In making the announcement, Sec retary Baker said also that forces in excess of those which could be cared for in the sixteen cantonments would be placed under canvas. , This was taken as referring to National Guard divisions, although the Militia Bureau has received no instructions in this regard. There is no indication of an inten tion to alter the plan for formation of sixteen divisions. of the guard. The questions of filling these up to war strength probably will not be settled until selection of men for m ilitary service In the draft Army begins. Under the law, either th e-Regulars or Guard can be filled up with men from the selected lists if th at is desired. MANY LIV.ES LOST IN STORMS IN MIDDLE WEST Towns In Kansas, Oklahoma and Mis- souri Are Stricken. Kansas City, Mo. — Twenty-one known deaths, more than one hundred injured and unestim ated property dam age resulted from a series of torna does that swept several towns and sections of south-eastern Kansas, north central Oklahoma and southern Mis souri. W ith 400 houses reported destroy ed at Coalgate, Okla., a town of 3,000 inhabitants, and possibly 200 a t Cof- feyville, Kan., it was feared that the death total at these two places would be high. ' One. message said that 13 bodies Iod ben counted at Coalgate, and that-the business section of the town was virtually destroyed. Three persons were killed, several seriously injured and much property was damaged by (a tornado which struck Moore, five miles southeast ot Olathe, Kan. Unconfirmed reports from Buffalo, Mo., told O^ considerable damage there. Another storm was reported to have passed between Sprinfield and Lebanon. All .wires were down both directions.

W itt its task virtually completed the com m ittee adjourned for ??e week; EFEAIEDI M U S E MEMBERS DECLINE TO ACCEPT PROVISION IN MODIFIED FORM. SENATE ALREADY OPPOSED Espionage Bill Will Be Reported to Both Houses Now With Censorship ' Measure-Omitted.—House Vote 184 to'144b Washington.—-The Administration's nght for a war censorship on news papers was lost in Congress, at least for the present, when the House re fused by a vote of 184 to 144 to accept even the modified censorship section written into the espionage bill in con ference. As the Senate already is on record as opposed to a censorship, the leaders in Congress do. not expect any further Administration effort to enact one in the immediate future. The test in the H ouse. came on a motion to recommit the espionage bill with instructions that the censorship regulation be eliminated. Despite a determined effort by Democratic man agers to line up the party strength be hind President Wilson’s demand for censorship, 37 Democratic Represen. tatives joined the Republicans voting for the motion. Eleven Republicans, disregarding their party’s caucus de cision, voted in the negative. Conferences for the House will re port their instructions back to the Senate conferees and the bill, short of the censorship provision, probably will be reported to both. Senate and House within a few days and finally accepted. It carries im portant modifi cations of the spy laws and authoriza tion for the President to lay embar goes in war time, but most of the con troversy regarding it has centered about the censorship proposal. No comment on the outcome in the H ouse' was forthcoming from , the White House. The section which had been agreed on by the conferees was somewhat sim ilar to one which the House had. substituted during first consideration of the bill for the more sweeping provision drawn up and sub mitted by the Administration. The Senate, while the bill was under de bate, -threw the censorship section out entirely by a vote of 48 to 34. In the House debate opponents of censorship argued that a restriction such as the conferees proposed would violate the right of a free press. The voluntary censorship under which the country’s newspapers now ,are -work ing was -pointed to as demonstrating the patriotism of editors and as prov ing that no legal, restrictions are needed. t-OURTEEN MEET DEATH JN MISSOURI STORM.

New York.—A report of> its “commit tee . on -American liberties” which pledged support to all "conscientious objectors” to" the conscription law and a telegram from former United States Senator John D.

After wor&in-g all -through the holi day with treasury experts, recapitu lating the committee’ srevision, Chair man Simmons announced that as re drafted, the estimated revenue to be brought in by the bill now totals $1,- 460,000,000. A bill aggregating slight ly above $1,500,000,000 now is gener- aiy expected. In resuming its conference the committee took up m inor tax sched ules, having decided virtually all ba sic changes. A few more days will -be required to make technical changes, and Senator Simmons hopes to -be abe to introduce the re-drafted meas ure ,in the Senate by the middle of next week for immediate considera tion. Present indications are for uanimous support toy Uie Republicans as well as the Democrats on the com m ittee. On the basis' of the committee’s work thus far, income, excess profits, liquor, tobacco, special excise, or con sumption and stamp taxes are the principal revenue sources. The com m ittee has definitely cut out of the house 'bill tax levies aggregating $223,- 000,000 . Of the principal house schedules not yet passed upon, it was reliably stated th at the committee probably will adopt or but slightly change the jax'es on liquors, wines, freight, ex press, transportation, Pullman ser vice, -pipe line, amusements and tele graph and telephone messages.

Fuily 500 members of lISie boys’ agri cultural clubs of the state areexpect- ed here for the boys’ and girls’ short course In. agriculture to be given at a t the A. and E. College from August 21 to 24. Plans are under way by the office of agriculture club work to make one of the m ost determined efforts yet made by the Extension Service to in struct, entertain and inspire the youthful farmers who will attend this meeting. Last August over 350 members of the agricultural clubs visited the col lege for the short course, and it is estim ated that over 500 will be on hand this year. A special effort will be made to show the importance of food and fped production to the ones who will come, and the course of in struction will be along these lines. The only charge will be the cost charge of the three meals for the four days and the reduced transportation charges. Booms will be furnished free by the college. The Corn d u b enrollment is contin uing to grow says A. K. Robertson, corn club agent. The oounty agents over the state are responding almost daily with additional names of young .boys who desire to assist in the pro duction of more, food crops. Recently County Agent Morris, of Granville county, sent in 14 names for the com dub, bringing the oounty enrollment up to about 60. This is a gratifying showing as this county is one that is devoted almost entirely to tobacco pro duction. Caswell county is another where tobacco is the main crop, yet it also has a splendid enrollment of 70 members growing corn, peas - and beans. Oounty Agent Graeber, of Mecklenburg, and ProfHbt, of Ruther ford, both have good enrollments and write that the members are all hard at work and that the prospect for their crops are fine. Stanly county continues to lead in the com dub work, w ith a total en rollm ent of 196 boys and as many acres of com . In this county Mr. S. J. Lewis is getting good results with his boys aswell as with his adult co- operator. Mr. J. E.

By taking up this work neither thfe dem onstration agents in the respect ive counties nor the state farm man agem ent man guarantees to get labor for the farm er nor employment for the laborer but ti;ey do agree to use their beet efforts in these lines. Soy Beans Good as Steak. Mr. C. B. Williams, chief of the di vision of agronomy, states that there is a a great increase this year m the acreage devoted to soy beans in the state. This is as if should be, and our people should see to it that some of these beans are saved a t the end' of the season for food purposes. Soy beans are much richer In pro tein than lima beans or sirloin steak, in fact they contain practical!y double the amount of protein contained bjr these two staple food products The soy beans contain about the same amount of fat or oil that is contained in sirloin steak, and more than ten tim es the amount of this constituent than is contained in lima beans. The fuel value of soy beans, as a food product is slightly higher than sirloin steak and lim a beans. Dr. .W . A. Evans, president of the American Pub lic Health Association, has stated that for men who are engaged In hard manual labor, where they bum up a lot' of their tissues In the effort, will find soy beans as siutable as steak as a fuel. Because of the possibilities in the use of the soy bean as a food product, the following recipes is given for the information of those who are interest ed in the m ore extended use of this rich nutritious food product when properly handled: Soak the beans in a 10 per cent, common salt solution over’ night. Then drain off the salt w ater and roast the beans in an oven or a peanut roaster. In roasting-exercise great care that the beans are not scorched, as this' would im part a bitter taste to the beans. W atch from tim e to time, and when the cotyledons begin to turn brown remove from the oven. Other recipes can be obtained by writing to C. B. Williams, Extension Division, A. & E., Raleigh, N.

NEWS REVIEW OF the Rasi week America Is Preparing, Without Panicky Haste, for War of Several Years. Solve Labor Problem In State. The county demonstration agents in North Carolina will be used for the purpose of bringing the farm er and the laborer together and solving the serious labor' situation which con fronts the state. The clearing house for all such information will be the office of farm management of the AgricuGural Extension Service .at W est Raleigh.- The North Carolina State Food Con servation Commission in co-operation with the State Agricultural Extension Service has arranged or the farm demonstration agents in their respec tive counties to ascertain from farm ers their , need of additional labor in producing food and other crops. Also for recording labor available for such purposes, and to bring farm er and la bors together. If the farmer wants extra help he should communicate the fact to the demonstration agents with a statem ent as to the length of tim e the help is wanted, the purpose for which it is to be used and the wages he is willing to or expects to pay. Parties desiring work on farms should notify the dem onstration agent stating when they will be ready to begin work; what kind of work they can do, for how long a period they. wish, employment and what wages they expect. In counties having demonstration agents requests for labor needed and for work or employment wanted should be sent directly to the office Some Increase Necessary. In concluding the presentation of the case for NorHi-Carolina carriers in their petition for increased freight rates, applicable to initrastate traffic, it was agreed toy the railroad officials and the shippers present that some increase is necessary and that the in crease in the intrastate rates be on the sam e percentage -basis that the in terstate commerce commission adepts for the interstate -petition now pend ing. : There was a further agreem ent that the m atter of adopting a new basis rate schedule euch as the proposed Georgia schedule subm itted by the railroad companies be deferred and that the question be further thrashed out in a hearing July 5 before the cor poration commission.

S. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. The United States anticipates from three to five more years of war, and is preparing for it on a tremendous scale, basing its plans on the idea that de feat of the central powers will de pend largely on America. France and England are counted on to hold the Germans back on the west front, while Italy keeps the Austrians busy in the Trieste and Trentino regions, until the United States can raise, equip and train its immense National army. Though a hundred thousand or more Americans will be on the fighting front this year, it is not expected that our armies will appear there in great strength before 1918. This much of its plans the government allowed to be known last week. President Wilson, it was said, expectsKto send a million men to France next year and another million the following year if neces sary. Instead of panicky haste, careful consideration Is governing the move m ents of the government. To co-ordi nate the needs of the allies and fur nish the enormous quantities of muni tions and other supplies they must have is perhaps the most pressing, problem, and during the week the cab inet discussed the creation of the vast machinery for- the purchase of sup plies aggregating $10,000,000,000 a year and their distribution to the various countries. This it is planned, is to be controlled by a commission, rather than by one man, and. such is the ad vice of Bernard Baruch, who had been suggested for the position. The war commissions of Great Britain and France formally agreed to the creation of such a commission,- and the Italian commissioners, now in this country, doubtless will assent. Incidentally, Italy wants to borrow several hundred millions from the United States. ‘ Preparing for Registration. Preparations for thie registration on June 5 of all men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty for service in the National army went forward rapidly throughout the country, and, with a blush of shame be it said, schemes were sprung in inany locali ties to' defeat the success of the army law and to fight against conscription. In Texas and W est Virginia organiza tions for this purpose were uncovered, and in those states and many other places arrests were made by the secret service men. Federal officers every where were instructed to keep close watch ovqr meetings a t which there might be agitation against registra tion and to' arrest the speakers. In some instances it was shown beyond doubt that German influences and Ger man money were behind, the demon-1 strations. Chicago, New York and other cities were the scene of meetings of Social ists, pacifists, conscientious objectors and other intentional or unintentional aids, of the>kaiser. These gatherings voiced the demand that the United States government at once announce its war aims in definite and concrete term s and make, peace as soon as those1 aims are achieved. The Socialists, ac cording to their leaders, are concerned chiefly-In spreading their doctrines throughout the world and see in the war a fine opportunity to accomplish this. As for the conscientious objec tors, one may well quote Colonel Roosevelt’s phrase in his Memorial Day address: “If any man is too con scientious to fight he ought to take his conscience out and look at it, for it is certainly sick.” s As registration day approached the number of cowards fleeing the coun try to avoid the draft increased. A great many crossed the borders into Mexico and Canada, and considerable numbers went to Cuba. -All decent citizens join in the hope that these creatures will never have the impu dence to return to the Untied States. President Wilson, loath to abandon entirely the volunteer system, on Tues day issued an urgent call for 100,000 more volunteers to bring the regular army up to full strength. W hat Is Doing In Russia. Developments of the week in Rus sia were both encouraging and dis couraging. Admittedly, the fate of that new republic is in the hands of Kerensky and he has taken a firm stand in the m atter of restoring dis cipline in the army. The soldiers seem willing to submit, and are giving evi dence of a renewed intention to con tinue the fight against the central pow ers. They have been heartened for this by the injunctions and appeals of the councils of peasants’ and work men’s deputies' and by the exhortations of government officials. This state of affairs is recognized by Germany in a statem ent that an early offensive by the Russians is expected. . The most discouraging news from Russia was contained in a statem ent by M inister of Finance Shlngaroff that the 'industrial crisis is so acute that only a miracle can save the country from economic ruin. The demands of the workmen are so enormous that most of the industrial enterprises working for the national defense will be compelled to close down before long. On top of this comes the formal demand of the troops at the front that they be supplied with enough mu nitions to fight On an equal plane with the other belligerents. A hopeful note was sounded on Tuesday by . Prof. Boris Bakhmetieff, the new Russian ambassador to the United States. Reaching Tokyo on his way to this country, he said: "I am immensely satisfied with conditions In Russia, including Siberia: I think the new regime is carrying on the work of . reorganization successfully and will soon be able to launch an of fensive against the enemy.” Russia’s official position seems as anomolous as-ever, for she still insists she will be faithful to her allies, and in the same breath demands that-peace be made on term s that cannot con ceivably be accepted by those allies. President Sends Note to Russia. President Wilson last • week dis patched a note to Russia’s provisional government designed to pave the way for the Root commission and to give Russia an idea of the war aims of the United States. He set forth that America- is in the war to “make the world safe for democracy,” and that it seeks “no indemnities for ourselves, no m aterial compensation for the sac rifices we shall freely make,” but makes it d ear that there m ust be in demnity for innocent nations laid in ruins, Uke. Belgium. . Maxim Gorky, the noted author, pub lishes in his paper a sensational ac count of an attem pt by D. Rizow, Bul garian m inister to Berlin, to induce him to enter into negotiations for a separate peace. Rizow’s proposition was that Russia conclude an immedi ate armistice with Germany and Aus tria, both belligerents retaining their present fronts, and a Russian constitu ent assembly meet at once to decide on peace or. war. The Sodalist party of France last week decided to send delegates to the Stockholm conference, but the rejoic ing of the Teutons over this is not justified, for it appears the Frenchmen concluded it would not be. safe to leave the Russian Socialists alone with the German delegates. The German and Austrian . Socialists set forth their peace program, a program which might well be acceptable to the two emperors who have given up hopes of crushing their enemies. Austria is still hanker ing for peace at almost any price, and the kaiser’s control over the dual mon archy was weakened by the appoint ment of Count Julius Andrassy as pre mier of Hungary to sueceed Tisza. -. j . Italians Move Toward-Trleste. Tl)e Italians and Austriahs did most of the actual fighting last week. Ca- dorna’s men pressed on further toward LATE ■ N O R TH CAROLINA M A R K E T quotations Trieste, though the forward move ment slackened considerably'and much of the tim e was given to consolidating the positions already won, and beating off the furioUs counter-assaults of the Austrians. The Italians captured San Giovanni, one of the key defenses of Trieste, and it was reported that all noncombatants had ben ordered to leave the latter city, indicating that the Austrians did not hope to hold pos session of it much longer. The evident plan of the Italians was to move on Trieste along the coast of the Adriatic, avoiding the mountainous country far ther north and obtaining th e ; aid of British, warships. Northeast of Gor- itz the Italians made some further progress. The achievements of the ItaUan' soldiers in this offensive are truly wonderful, when the nature of the country and the strength of the opposition are considered, and' their bravery and high spirit are unsur passed. ' In France there was violent artil lery firing through the week, and the combats in the air were numerous and spectacular. Again the alUed airmen demonstrated their superiority over those of the German army. The: Brit ish aviators have been especially ac tive, and In night flights hnve dropped many tons of explosives on m ilitary establishments of the enemy far back of the lines. The lull In the activity of other arms on the west front was taken to presage another big offensive, and this, tim e it Is predicted that the Germans are. preparing a tremendous effort to smash France before American troops can help her. Another m arked decrease In the number of British ships sunk by sub m arines is noted In the weekly admir alty report. Among the vessels lost were a hospital ship and an mrmored cruiser. Spain and' Norway were fur ther aggravated by the sinking of more of their vessels. . ' The BraziUan chamber of deputies authorized the revocation of the de cree of neutrality, and the senate fol lowed this up by authorizing an alli ance of .Brazil with “other states to defend the American republics against the world.” ... To Organize Farm .Labor. The departm ent of agriculture an nounced the government’s detailed plan for the organization of farm la bor, The- work already has been started in 40 states. The plan pro vides for stoiptiy local handling: of all labor problems that , can be. adjusted locally. The fundam ental unit of the organization 'is the “community man” ' who, with the assistance of such com m ittees as h e may appoint, canvasses his own neighborhood, finds out w hat farm ers need help and what men are available for supplying the local need.’ If, after all local adjustm ents have been made, there remains either a deficit or a surplus of labor, he reports to the “county man,” whose business it is to effect adjustm ents in his coun ty- The county man, in turn, reports .and deficit of surplus to the “state man,” who canvasses the Situation1Tor the state as a whole and reports to the departm ent of agriculture. \ Jffie finance committee of the senate spent the week in revamping the” w ar revenue bill. In the house the food survey .bill, the lesser of the govern- ment’s two food measures, was passed. On Thursday the house by a .vote of 184 to 144, returned the espionage bill ■to the conference committee of the two houses with instructions toelim i nate the press-censorship section on the adoption of which ,.the president had been insistent. The senate al ready had voted against the provision.' The house was influenced considerably by charges, that v the adm inistration had been suppressing the truth about health conditions in the navy, and it was shown later that th e senate had kept secret a report pf Surgeon Gen eral Braisted describing the. epidemics in the navy, and the primitive eondi-: tions under which the medical oflicers were forced to labor. ,TWo destructive tornadoes . swept through central IlUnols1 the. towns of Mattoon and Charleston being the w orst sufferers. ■ About 300 lives w ere tost, and. the property; damage Jwas •enormous.

They bad silently watched titanic battalions of thunder clouds riding the. skies in gusty puffs of gale and raking the earth with lightning and hail and water. “My God!" exclaimed the mountain boy abruptly. “I'd give anything ef I could paint that.” Lescott rose smilingly from his seat before the easel and surrendered his palette and sheaf of brushes. ""ir* it,” he invited. For a moment Samson stood hesi tant and overcome with diffidence; then, with set lips, he took his place and experimentally fitted his fingers about the brush; as he had seen Les cott do. He asked no advice. He merely gazed for a while, and then, dipping a brush and experimenting for his color, went to sweeping In. his pri mary tones. Samson, even though he was hopelessly daubing, and knew it, was sincere, and the painter at his elbow caught his breath and looked on with the absorption of a prophet, who, listening to childish prattle, yet recog nizes the gift of prophecy/ “Thet’s the way hit looks ter me,” the boy said, simply. ’ “That’s the way it is,” commended his critic. For a while more Samson worked at the nearer hills, then he rose. “I’m done,” he said, “hain’t a-goin’ ter fool with them thar trees an’ things. I don’t know nothing erbout thet. I can’t paint leaves an’ twigs an’ birdsnests. W hat .I like is moun tings an’ skies an’ sech-like things.”- Lescott looked at the daub before him. A less trained eye would have seen only the daub, just as a poor Judge of horseflesh might see only awkward joints and long legs in a weanling colt, though it be bred in the purple. “Samson,” he said, earnestly, "that’s all there ie to a rt It’s the power to feel the poetry of color. The rest can he taught. The genius m ust work, of course—work, work, work, and still work, but the- gift is the power of seeing true—and, by God, boy, you have it. You’ve got w hat many men have struggled a lifetim e for, and failed. I’d like to have you study with j me. I’d like to be your discoverer. ; Look here.” The painter sat down, and speedily I went to work. He painted out noth- ! mg. He simply toned, and, with pre- • cisely the right touch here and there, ; softened the crudeness, laid stress on the contrast, melted the harshness, and, when he rose, he had built, upon the rough cornerstone of Samson’s laying, a picture. "That proves it,” he said. “I had only to finish. I didn’t have m uch to undo. Boy, you’re wasting yourself. Come with me, and let me m ake you. IVe all pretend there is no such thing, In these days, as sheer genius; but, 1>ieep down, we know that, unless there Is, there can be no such thing as true art. There is genius and you have it.” Enthusiasm was again sweeping aim into an unintended outburst. The boy stood silent. Across his countenance swept a conflict of emo tions. He looked .away, as if taking counsel with the hills. "It’s what I’m a-honin’ fer,” he. ad mitted at last. “H it’s w hat I’d give half my life fer. . . . I mout sell ®y land, an’ raise the money. . . ; reckon hit would take passels of aoney, wouldn’t hit?” He paused, and j his eyes fell on the rifle leaning against the tree. His lips tightened Jn sudden cmembrance. He went over and Pmked up the gun, and, as he did so, I he shook his head. No,” be stolidly declared; “every an to his own tools. This here’s mine.” 9 ]Tet| when they were again out i ching, the temptation to play with t„ t .once more seized him, and he Np-ti, n:3 p’ace before the eaBel. I 1 her he nor Lescott noticed a man a 0 arePt down through the tiipber, ma • a "*me watched them. The erin 8 face wore a surly, contemptuous Wvand shortlV 11 withdrew. I was «af hour later, while the boy Itho , M "'orkinS industriously andI a wn . was lyinS on his back, with I clou!!* betWcen his teeth, and his half- I .. Q eyes gazing up contentedly the green of overhead circle of scoffing humanity. Lescott’s impulse was to laugh, for only the comedy of the situation at. the mo m ent struck him. A stage director, setting a comedy scene with that m ost ancient of jests, the gawking of boobs at some new sight, could hardly have improved on this tableau. At the front stood Tam arack Spicer, the returned wanderer. His lean w rist was stretched out of a ragged sleeve all too short, and 1™ tattered “jimmy” was skoved back OVQP & face all a-grin. His eyes were blood-shot with recent drinking, but his m anner was in exaggerated and cumbersome im itation of a rural mas ter of ceremonies. At his back were the raw-boned men and women and children of the hills, to the number of a.dozen. * Ladiee and gentle-men,” announced Tam arack Spicer, in a hiccoughing voice, “swing yo’ partners an' sashay forward. See the only son of the late I-Ienry South engaged in his mar-ve- Ious an’ heretofore undiscovered occu pation of doin’ fancy work.

They. uP - find at their backs a serai- “Ye’re a Truce-Bustin’, Murderin’ Bully.” mous performer will favor ye with a little exhibition of plain- an’ fancy sock-darnin’.” After the first surprise, Samson had turned his back on the group. He was mixing paint at the tim e and he pro ceeded to experiment with, a fleeting cloud effect, which would not outlast the moment. He finished that, and, reaching for the palette-knife, scraped his fingers and wiped ,them on his trousers’ legs. Then, he deliberately rose. W ithout a word he turned. -Tama rack had begun his harangue afresh. The boy tossed back the long lock from his forehead,, and then, with an unexpectedly swift movement, crouched and leaped. His right fist shot forward to Tam arack Spicer’s chattering lips, and they abruptly ceased to chatter as the teeth were driven into their flesh. Spicer’s head snapped back, and he staggered against the onlookers, where he stood rocking on his unsteady legs. His hand swept instinctively to the shirt-concealed holster, but, before it had connected, both of Samson’s fists were playing a terrific tattoo on his face. The in glorious m aster of the show dropped, and lay groggily trying to rise. The laughter died as suddenly as Tam arack's speech. Samson stepped back again, and searched the faces of the group for any lingering sign of m irth or criticism. There was none. Every countenance was sober and ex pressionless, but the boy felt a weight of unuttered disapproval, and he glared defiance. One of the older onlookers spoke up reproachfully. . “Samson, ye hadn’t hardly ought ter a-done that. He was jest a funnin’ with ye.”' “Git him up on his feet. I’ve got somethin’ ter say ter him.” The boy’s voice was dangerously quiet. It was his first word. They lifted the fallen cousin, whose entertainm ent had gone astray, and led him forward grumbling, threatening and sputtering, but evinc ing no immediate desire to renew hos tilities. “W har hev ye been?” demanded Samson. “Thet’s my business,” came the fa m iliar m ountain phrase. “W hy wasn’t yer hyar when them dawgs. come, by? W hy was ye the only South thet runned away, when they was smellin' round fer Jesse Purvy’s assassin?” “I didn’t run away.” Tam arack’s blooS-shot eyes flared wickedly. “I knowed thet ef I stayed ’round hyar with them damned Hollmans stickin’ their noses inter our business, I'd hurt somebody. So, I went over inter the next county fer a spell. You fellers m out be able to take things offen the Hollmans, but I hain’t ” “Thet’s a damned lie,” said Samson, quietly. “Ye runned away, an’ ye runned in the w ater so them dawgs couldn’t trail ye—ye done hit because ye shot them shoots at Jesse Purvy from the laurel—because ye’re a truce- bustin’, m urderin’ bully thet shoots off his face, an’ is skeered to fig^t-” Sam son paused for breath, and went on with regained calmness, “I’ve knowed all along ye was the man, an’ I’ve kept quiet because ye’re my kin. If ye’re got anything else ter say, say hit. But, ef I ever ketches yer talkin’ about me, or talkin’ ter Sally, I’m a-goin’ ter take ye by the scroll of the neck, an’ drag ye plumb into Hixon, an’ stick ye in the jailhouse. An* I’m a-gorn’ ter tell the high sheriff that the Sonthe spits ye outen their mouths. Take him away.” The crowd turiied and left the place. W hen they were gone, Sam son seated himself at his easel again, and picked up his’palette. CHAPTER VI. Lescott had come to the mountains anticipating a visit of two weeks. His accident had resolved him to shorten it to the nearest day upon which he felt capable of maMng the trip out to the railroad. Yet June had ended; July had burned the slopes from em erald to ruseet-green; August had brought purple tops to the ironweed, and still he found himself lingering. And this was true although he recog nized a growing sentim ent of disap proval for himself. In -Samson he thought he recognized twin gifts; a spark of a genius too rare to be al lowed to flicker out, and a potentiality for constructive work among his own people, which needed for its perfecting only education and experience. “Samson,” he suggested one day when they were alone, “I want you to come E ast You 6ay that gun is your tool, and that each man m ust stick to his own. You are in part- right, in part wrong. A man uses any tool bet ter for understanding other tools. You have the right to use your brains and talents to the full.” The boy’s face was somber in the intensity of his m ental struggle, and his answer had that sullen ring which was not really sullenness at all, but self-repression. ■“I reckon a feller’s biggest right is to stand by his kinfolks. Unc’ Spicer’s gittin’ old. He’s done been good ter me. -He needs me here.” “I appreciate that. He will be older later. You can go now, and come back to him when he needs, you more. If what I urged m eant disloyalty to your people, I could cut out my tongue be fore I argued for it. You m ust be lieve me in that. I want you to be In the fullest sense your people’s leader. I want you to be not only their Sam son—but their Moses.” The boy looked up and nodded. “I reckon ye aims ter be friendly, all right,” was his conservative re sponse. ' The painter went on earnestly. “I realize that I am urging things of which your people disapprove, hut it is only because they misunderstand that they do disapprove. They are too close, Samson, to see the purple that moun tains have when they are far away. I want you to go where you can see the purple. If you are the sort of man I think, you won’t be beguiled. You won’t lose your loyalty. You won’t be ashamed of your people.” “I reckon I wouldn’t be ashamed,' said the youth. “I 'reckon there hain’t no better folks nowhar.” “I’m sure of i t There are going to be sweeping changes in these moun tains. Conditions here have stood as immutably changeless as the hills themselves for a hundred years. That day ie at its twilight. I tell you, I know what I’m talking about. The state of Kentucky is looking this way. The state m ust develop, and it is here alone that it can develop. Here are virgin forests and alm ost inexhaust ible coal veins. Capital is turning from an orange squeezed dry, and cast ing about for fresher food. Capital has seen your hills. Capital is inevitable, relentless, omnipotent. W here it comes, it makes its laws. Conditions that have existed undisturbed will vanish. The law of the feud, which m ilitia and courts have not been able to abate, will vanish bef ore capital’s breath like the m ists when the sun strikes them Unless you learn to ride the waves which will presently sweep over your country, you and your people will go under. You may . not realize it, but that is true. It is w ritten.” The boy had listened intently, but at the end he smiled, and in his expres sion was something of the BOldier who scents battle, not without welcome. “I reckon if these here fellers air a-comin’ up- here ter run things, an’ drowned out my folks, hit’s a right good reason fer me ter stay here—an’ holp my folks.” “By stayjng here, you can’t help them. It won't be work for guns, but for brains. By going away and com ing back armed with knowledge, you can'save them. You will know how to play the game.” “I reckon they won’t git our land, ner our timber, ner our coal, without we wants ter sell hit. I reckon ef they tries thet, guns will come in handy. Things has stood here like they is now, fer a hundred years. I reckon we kin keep ’em that-away fer a spell longer. But it was evident that Samson was arguing against his own belief; that he was trying to bolster up. his resolu tion and impeached loyalty, and that at heart he was sick to be up and go ing to a world which did not despise “eddication.” After a little, he waved his hand vaguely toward “down be low.” “Ef I went down, thar,” he questioned suddenly and irrelevantly, “would I hev’ ter cut my hah-?” “My dear boy,” laughed Lescott, I can introduce you in New York studios to many distinguished gentlemen who would feel that their heads had been shorn if they let their locks get as short as yours. In New York,, you might stroll along Broadway garbed In turban and a burnouse without great ly exciting anybody. I think my own hair is as long as yours.” “Because,” doggedly declared the mountaineer, “I wouldn’t allow nobody ter make me cut-m y ha’r.” “Why?” questioned Lescott, amused at the stubborn inflection. “I don’t hardly know why—” ,H e paused, then admitted with a glare as though defying criticism: “Sallylikes hit that-away—an’ I won’t let nobody dictate ter me, that’s all.” The leaven was working, and one night. Samaon announced to his uncle from the doorstep :that; he was. “study- in’ erbout goin’ away fer a spell, an’ seeih’ the world.” - The old man laid down his pipe. He cast a reproachful glance at the painter, which said clearly, though without words: “I have opened my home to you and offered you what I had, yet In my o ld ' age you take away my mainstay.” ‘‘I ’lowed you was a-studyin’ erbout thet, Samson,” he said, at last. 'Tvo done ther best fer ye I knowed. I kinder ’lowed thet from now on ye’d do the same fer ine. I’m gittin’ along in years right smart. . . .” “Uncle Spicer,” interrupted the boy, “I reckon ye knows thet any tim e ye needed me I’d come back.” The old man's face hardened. “Ef ye goes,” he said, almost sharp ly, “I won’t never send fer ye. Any time ye ever, wants tar come back, ye knows, ther way. Thartll be room an’ victuals fer ye hyar.” “I reckon I mout be a heap more useful, ef I knowed more.” 'Tve heerd fellers say that afore. H it hain’t never turned out thet way w ith : them ,what, has left the mount ings., Mebby they gets more, useful, but they don’t git useful ter us. Either they don’t come hack at all, or mebby they comes back full of newfangled no tions—an’ ashamed of their kinfolks. Thet’s the way, I’ve noticed, hit gen’- ally turns out.” Samson scorned to deny that such might be the case with him, and was silent. After a time, the old man went on again in a weary voice, as he bent down to loosen his brogane and kick them noisily off on to the floor: “The Souths hev done looked to ye a good deal, Samson. They ’lowed they could depend on y.e. Ye hain’t quite twenty-one yet, an’ I reckon I could refuse ter let y e sell yer prop'ty. But thar hain’t no use tryin’ ter hold a feller when he wants ter quit. Ye don’t ’low ter go right away, do ye?” “I hain't plumb made up my mind ter go at all,” said the boy, shame facedly. “But, ef I does go, I hain't a-goin’ y it I hain’t spoke ter nobody but you about hit yit,” Lescott felt reluctant to m eet his host's eyes at breakfast the next morn ing, dreading their reproach, but, if Spicer South harbored resentm ent, he m eant to conceal it, after the stoic’s code. There was no hint of constraint in his. cordiality. Lescott felt, however, that in Samson’s mind waB working the leaven of that unspoken accusa tion of disloyalty. He resolved to make a final play, and seek to enlist Sally in his cause. If Sally’s hero-wor ship could be made to take the form, of ambition for Samson, ehe might be brought to relinquish him for a time, and urge his going that he might re turn strengthened. He went down to the creek a t the hour when he knew Sally would be making her way thither with her milk pail, and intercepted her coming. As she approached, she was singing, and the man watched her from’ the dis tance. He was a landscape painter and not a m aster of genre or portrait. Yet, he wished that he might, before going, paint Sally. “Miss Sally," he began, “I’ve discov ered something about ’Samson.” Her blue eyes flashed ominously. “Ye can’t tell me nothin’ ’bout Sam son,” she declared, “withouten hijt's somethin’ nice.” “It’s something very nice,” the man reassured her. "Then, ye needn’t tell me, because I already knows hit,” came her prompt and confident announcement. Lescott shook his head, dubiously. “Samson is a genius,” he said. “W hat's thet?” “He has great gifts—great abilities to become a figure .in the world.” She nodded her head, in prompt and full corroboration; “I reckon Samson’ll be the biggest man In the mountings some day.” “He ought to be more than that." Suspicion at once cast a cloud across the violet serenity of her eyes. “W hat does ye mean?” she de manded. “I mean”—the painter paused a mo ment, and then said bluntly—“I mean “I Have Opened My’Home to You and Offered You What I Had, Yet in My Old Age, You Take Avnay My Main stay.” that I want to take him back with me to New York," The girl sprang to. her feet with her chin defiantly high and her brown hands clenched into tight little fists. Her bosom heaved convulsively, and her eyes blazed through tears of anger. Her face was pale. “Ye hain’t!” she cried, in a paroxysm of fear and wrath. “Ye hain’t a-goln’ ter do no ,sich—no sich of b damn thing!” S^e stamped her foot, and her whole girlish body, drawn Int-o rigid uprightness, was a-quiver with the incarnate spirit of the woman de fending her home and institutions. For a moment after that, she could not speak, but her determined eyes blazed a declaration of war. It was as though he had posed her as the Spirit of the Cnmberlands. He waited until she should be calmer. “You don’t understand me, Miss Sally. I’m not trying td take Samson away from you, If a man should lose a girl like you, he couldn’t gain enough in the world to make up for it. All I LIFT YOUR CORNS OFF WITH FINGERS How to loosen a tender corn or callus so it lifts out without pain. to make the beet of his life.” "I reckon Samson don’t need no fotched-on help ter make folks ac knowledge him.” “Every man needs his chance. He can be a great painter—but that’s the least part of it, He can come back equipped'for anything that life offers. Here, he is wasted.” “Ye mean”—she put the question with a hurt quaver in her voice—"ye mean we all hain’t good enough for Samson?’ ' “No. I only-mean that Samson wants to grow—and he needs space and new scenes in which to grow. I want to take him where he can see more of the world—not only a little section of the world. Surely, you are not distrustful of Samson’s loyalty? I want him to go with me for a while, and see life.” "Don’t ye say hit!” The defiance In her voice was being pathetically tan gled up with the tears. She was siieaking in a transport of grief. “Don’t ye say hit. Take anybody else—take ’em all down thar, but leave us Sam son. We needs him hyar. We’ve jest got ter have Samson hyar.” -She faced him still with quivering lips, but in' another moment, with a sudden sob, she dropped to tbe rock, and buried her face in h e r. crossed arms. He went over and softly laid a hand on her shoulder. , “Miss Sally—” he began. , She suddenly turned on him a tear- stained, infuriated face, stormy with blazing eyes and wet cheeks and trembling lips. “Don’t touch me,” she cried; “don’t ye dare ter touch me! I hain’t nothin’ but a gal—but I reckon I could ’most tear ye ter pieces. Ye’re jest a pizen snake, anyhow!” Then, she pointed a tremulous finger off up the road. “Git away from hyar,” she commanded. “I don’t never want ter see ye again. Ye’re tryin’ ter steal everything I loves. Git away, I tells ye!—git away —begone!” “Think it over,” urged Lescott, quiet ly. “See if your heart doesn't say I am Samson’s friend—and yours.” He turned, and began making his way over the rocks; but, before he had gone far, he sat down to reflect upon the situation. Certainly, he was not augmenting his popularity. A half- hour later, he heard a rustle, and, turning, saw Sally standing not far off. She was hesitating at the edge of the underbrush, and Leecott read in her eyes the effort it was costing her to come forward and apologize. “I reckon—I reckon I’ve got ter ask yore pardon,” she said, slowly and with labored utterance. He looked up to see her standing with her head droop ing and her fingers nervously pulling a flower to pieces. “I reckon I hain’t a plumb .fool. I knows thet Samson’s got a right ter eddication. Anyhow, I knows he wants hit." "Education,” said the man, “isn’t go ing to change Samson, except to make him finer than he is—and more capable.” She shook her head. "I hain’t got no eddication," she answered. “H it’s a-goin’ ter make him too good fer. me. I' reckon hit’s a-goin’ ter jest about kill me. . . .” Her lips twisted themselves into a pathetic smile again, and her chin came stiffly up. “But,” she added, determinedly, "thet don’t make no diff’rence, nohow.” Yet, when Samson that evening gave his whippoorwill call at the Widow Miller’s cabin, he found a dejected and m iserable girl sitting on the stile, with her chin propped in her two hands and her eyes full of sombemess and fore boding. "W hat’B the matter, Sally?” ques tioned he, anxiously. “Hes that low- down Tam arack Spicer been round here tellin’ ye some more stories ter pester ye?” She. shook, her head In silence. Usually, she bore the brunt of their conversations, Samson merely agree ing with, or overruling, her In lordly brevities. The boy climbed up and sat. beside her. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Wisdom From Thomas. The thoughtful look on young Thom as’ face betrayed that he had a few questions to ask. As soon as Mrs. Boardman had gone, he asked them. “Mother,” said he, “do you like to kiss Mrs. Boardman?” "No, dear.” "Do you think Mrs. Boardman likes to Mss you?” “I don’t think she does." "Then why do you and she always kiss when you meet?” “I don’t know, dear.” “Don’t you think Mrs. Boardman would rather you didnT Mss her?” "I have no doubt of It.”' "Wouldn’t you rather Mrs. Board m an didn’t kiss you?”’ “Oh, very much rather.” “Then,” said young Thomas, con clusively, "that must be why.” Ancient Servants.

Harold McCormick of Chicago, who has outfitted the whole Tarrowdale crew at his own expense, is a very rich man and a very generous man, but he does not like to be “done.” Mr. McCormick, on one of his visits to Florida, neglected to stipulate his hotel rate in advance. The hotel man took advantage of this oversight; and the bill he presented was exorbitant. Mr. McCormick, however, paid with out a murmur. Then he said, as he folded the receipt In his wallet: “By the way, have you got any two- cent stamps?” “Yes, sir,” said the hotel man. “How many would you like to have?” “Er ," said Mr. McCormick, mild ly, “how much are they apiece?” It Dees. “Three moves are as bad as a fire.” “And one visit of the paperlmngers beats a cyclone.” Sore Eyes.

Constipationaad piarrhoea| and Feverishness ana I L o s s o f SfiEEP Dangers of Watered Coffee Watered stock, watered milk, and watered coffee—the United States Gov ernment- is carrying on a crusade. to eliminate , all three. Everyone knows about. watered stock. Everyone has seen “blue milk,” the combined efforts of a cow and the old pump.. But not everyone is on his guard against “watered coffee.” That the United States Government realizes the danger of watered coffee is shown by the specifications for the United States Army supplies. These specifications say plainly: "Coffee: roasts must be ’dry’ roasts, no water being permitted before, during or after the process of roasting.” Water In coffee Is a piece of dishon esty practiced by unscrupulous coffee roasters. They turn the hose on the coffee while It Is being roasted, so that it won’t lose weight, as coffee will, when properly roasted. In roast ing, coffee should lose about 16% of Its weight. H it is watered it loses but 4%. The difference, of course, is water, for which you pay coffee- value. This is adulteration and nothing more. The water-logged coffee is rank and unhealthy. Of course, It is not honest to charge for coffee, and sell coffee beans soaked in water. A lot of watered coffee is being sold no doubt right In this town. It is more often met with in the lower priced grades of bulk coffee. As coffee is such an important bev erage, pure food authorities are ad vising, housewives to use the greatest care in selecting their coffee. The pure food experts say that the best way to avoid watered coffee is to buy some reliable packaged brand, roasted by a reputable coffee roaster as Arbuckle Brothers of New York.—Adv. His Threat. A month or two after the war start ed a collier entered a large hotel on Tyneside and ordered refreshments, saying: “Big prices noo; Aa might as weel b§ a big man.” On discovering that the waiter was a German, the irate pitman, choking with anger, leaped to his feet, ran the affrighted Teuton to the door, and as sisted him into the roadway-with his foot, and then, wheeling round upon the trembling, expostulating proprie tor, he spluttered: “Man, if iwor ye dare te set a thun derin’ Jarman te wait on me, agyen, Aa’ll twist ye an’ him roond yor aan necks, an’ ram th’ pair o’ ye haafway doon yor aan throats until thar’s nowt te be seen ov ye but th’ ends ov yor dirty shirt-collars stickin’ opt ov yor bloomin’ red eyes.

A mash that will fatten young ducks and make mature ducks lay is recom mended as follows. This mash may be fed throughout the year. It is made as follows: Cornmeal...................5 0 Ibs Wheat shorts .............50 Ib3 Cottonseed meal ............15 Ibs Ground lime rock (fertilizer lime, not caustic).................. .2% lbs Sharp gravel or sand............2 Ibs Fine table salt ..................... % D> Total...................................120 Ibs On the large duck farms they add about 10 per cent cut green or steamed alfalfa or clover hay, grass, rape, cooked small potatoes, turnips or similar vegetables. The green stuff is not necessary when ducks are on a green range, but it is beneficial even then that it adds bulk, variety and greater palatability. Mix the mash with water or sour skim inilk or buttermilk to a crumbly moist condition and feed twice daily what the ducks will eat in 20 minutes. Give a light feed of whole corn it noon. Place water in a wooden trough or galvanized iron vessel with a larger bottom than top. Have the water deep enough to reach above the nostrils and give the ducks an op portunity to clean out their nostrils in the water.

Squabs should be-.graded according to size and quality, as dark-colored and small squabs tend to lower the price paid for an entire shipment of mixed squabs. They are usually packed for shipment in a good supply of cracked ice, breasts up, with par affin paper between each layer of ice and squabs. Some express companies have a special rate for Jquab ship ments, which should be secured wher ever possible. The express charges on small shipments of squabs reduce the profit materially, making it difficult to sell the squabs from a small flock at a profit if they have to -be shipped to commission men. As the period at which a squab is right for mafket is not over one week, it is necessary to have a good-sized flock to have oyer one dozen squabs ready for market at Pa Knew. “Pa, what is a silent partner?” “Most any married man, son, when his wife’s around,” moaned pop.

It gives employ ment to many grades of labor from the rough to the highest grade. It dis tributes money through all the stages of its progress from the crude product to the finished.

American films is a request for “less of the sex ual problem!” IVe are so habituated to seeing indecent plays, suggestive “movies” and women in scant drapery that we have lost the proper sense of proportion morally. “Less of the sex ual problem," says Europe.

In For Over one time. A local market which will take any humber of squabs is a great aid to the small producer. Where one has a small flock it usually pays besiC to build it up until it is large enough to make good-sized shipments of squabs. This, however, requires a con stant outlay without any return, for some time. ' The production of squabs from each pair of breeders varies from one or two to as high as ten or eleven pairs a year, but an average-of from six to seven pairs is a fair estimate, although some squab breeders do better than this. Squabs usually sell at the high est prices during cold weather, as pigeons do not breed as freely during the winter as during the spring. TWB OCWTAUW COMPANY. TREAT CHOLERA IN TURKEYS All Fowls Which Show Symptoms of Disease Should Bf Separated— Give Suipho-Naphthol. The word is used to cover a number of intestinal disorders, but cholera is a contagious germ disease and is prac tically incurable. Place all birds which show any symptoms of the disease in a house remote from other poultry buildings and one which can be easily and thoroughly disinfected. Give the birds a few drops of creolin or sulpho- naphthol in ,their drinking water, just enough to turn it faintly milky. Give the birds a one-thousandth of a grain tablet of corrosive sublimate every three hours. Feed sparingly on soft easily digested food. All badly affect ed birds should be killed by a blow on the head without drawing blood, and then burned. Bake up and burn all litter used in the house and runs occupied by infect ed birds. Spray, the runs’and all parts of the-building with creolin or sulpho- naphthol solution, one tablespoonful ro ’wo gallons of- water. The runs should *lso be plowed frequently. ; - I GIRLS!

Tammany is 128 years old. On May 12, 1789, William Mooney, an uphol sterer, who previously had been active as one of the Sons of Liberty, founded in New. York what was intended to be a patriotic and social organization, the secret society of St. Tammany, or Co lumbian order, which In 1805 was regu larly Incorporated as a fraternal aid society. It was divided into 13 tribes, each of which had its separate totem. The of ficers became known ifs the grand sa chem, the sachem, the sagamore, or master of ceremonies, and the wis- IiinsklliOr doorkeeper. In 1811 the society built its first hull, and in 1867 moved to Tammany hall, in Fourteenth street, where it has been ever since. Early in its history Tana- many began to take an actiye part in politics. Aaron Burr is supposed to have been its tutor in the ways of poli ties, and In 1800 the society took part in its first campaign, being instumen- tal in carrying’New York for Thomas Jefferson. The name Tammany is adapted from that of an Indian chief, Tamanend, of the Delaware tribe, who was famous for his virtue and wisdom. He died In 1740 and was buried in New Britain township, Bucks county-, Pennsylvania. Tammany was one of the earliest so cial organizations in America. The members In the early days were accus tomed to dress in Indian costume. A New Measure for Distance. Some mud-bespattered autoists were attempting to reach Nashville, Brow county. ,Even with chains on Ibeir wheels, they were wasting lots of gaso line In investigating a washout or i valley which they had left triumphant ly only a-few minutes before. Three times in three hours they had asked the distance and each time had received the same answer. “ ’Bout three miles to Nashville.” .It is. true that in those three horns they had had one blowout and onc« they had to get a team of horses to pull them out of the mud. But even so, it seemed as if they could not Ib more than a half mile away. Finally they met a man on horseback. “How far to Nashville? Three miles, I suppose I” But the fine sarcasm rcas not lost on him. He grinned and said in a soft voice: “You’re ’most there. It’s jest bra hoops and a hollar, away.”—Indianapo lis News.

The home-coming day which was observed at the Baptist church last Sunday was a success in every par ticular. After the Sunday school hour, the pastor, Rev. Dodd, preach ed a timely and practical sermon which was listened to'by a large crowded house. At the noon hour a bounteous dinner was spread on a table in the rear of the church, and the large crowd present ate until they were satisfied, and many baskets of fragments were taken up. About two o’clock the large crowd re-as- sembled in the church and enjoyed an old-time singing led by G. L Whiteand P. P. Green, of Cana. A number of good singers from up per Davie and Iredell were present, and the old songs of fifty years ago were sung.- A number of former members of the Baptist church were present for the occasion. A severe | wind storm about 3:30 o’clock drove j a good part of the crowd away, and caused the singing to close earlier than it would otherwise have done. The day was enjoyed very much by il) present. Those who failed to at tend missed a treat. Eatan-Ferabee. Mr. A. W.

To give the Gospel to the world. “Tell the blessed tidings. Children of the King, With your glad hosannas Make the morning ring: Songs of his salvation Nevermore shall cease. Crown him with your praises, Hail him Prince of Peace. • Tell the blessed tidings, Ye whose ears have heard, Tellit to the captives Waiting for his word: Tell the hungry nations, Longing to be fed, Of the living water -And the heavenly bread. Bear the blessed tidings .

Flants must feed to grow. Four es sential food ele ments come from the air and six from the soil.

If so, this should be sup plied through fertilization if the larg est possible yields are to be obtained. No matter how much of other pla-t food a soil may contain, If there is a shortage of nitrogen, for example, then nitrogen will fix the limits of produc tion. Likewise with phosphoric acid or other elements.Plants differ from animals in taking food, in that plants will take foods only when the elements composing them are in soluble form, that is, when they are dissolved in water. When one element is deficient, the plant ceases growing. HU To illustrate in another way, ob serve the picture. Here is a vess.el made of staves. Each stare may represent a food ele ment or other factor of crop produc tion. Some of the staves are shorter than others. Does not the shortest stave then determine how much water the vessel can hold, and does not ttjje shortest plant food element represent ed hereby a stave, Umit the possible production of a crop?If, for instance, there is only enough nitrogen in the soil to produce 20 bushels of com or 175 pounds of cot ton per acre, while there is enough plant food elements of other kinds to produce enormously more, how then can greater yields be obtained than-the nitrogen will permit?The. problem of plant feeding is, therefore, no simple one.- It has en gaged long and most careful investi- -gationS of scientists, who have delved deep into the mysteries of how plants feed and what they feed upon. On the basis of the most exact knowledge thus obtained, modern fertilizers have been manufactured. Soil deficiencies, or “limting factors,” modem fertilizers are designed to remove, and to call in.o fullest action the natural re sources of the soil.Since there is a limiting factor in all soils, it is worth while for each farmer to undertake to remove that limitation.. Intelligent use Ofi fertiliz ers will accomplish it, if food glements be this limiting factor. In 2S-other way can it be done than by the help of man. He must bring to the plant the food it needs and cannot find when this is the factor limiting producton. The plant, of course, must be given the best of surroundings. It must not only have plenty of plant food, but the soil must be properly drained of excess water. It must be well supplied with lime, and organic matter; its moisture must be . conserved,- and weeds killed through proper cultural methods. These things man can provide. Therefore, if man is not the “limiting factor” and he looks after the plant food requirements, the great est possible yields will occur. PASTURE VELVET BEANS. Inquiry—“What is the most profit able use of the Velvet Bean?” • Plant the velvet bean in the com and get a double crop. They do well together. Plant an early variety>and fertilize for a good growth. The most economical use of-velvet beans is to let cattle feed on them in the field and then to turn, under the vegetable matter remaining. If there are not sufficient cattle on the place, get them and feed them. Why go to the expense of gathering, beans, grinding and shipping the meal off to some one else, to feed and get the benefits?—J. N. HARPER.

At such times the wants of people can not be readily supplied. Forethinking people will, therefore, prepare against it The Southern farmer is facing this situation. What ought he to do? Railroads have been hauling mil1 lions of dollars' worth of food prod ucts to the South each year. Recently there have been occasional “famines” In some of these articles because of the inability of the railroads to haul all they were offered. In fact serious situations have been narrowly averted. What then might be the result of a car shortage more acute than has ever been experienced? How would Southern cities be fed? Where would the Southern farmer who raises only cotton, get food? Grave possibilities are, therefore, confronted. They are probabilities if immediate steps are not taken. How can such a disaster be fore stalled? Only by the Southern farm er growing foodstuffs as well as cot ton. He can do it. It is his duty to do it It is his patriotic service. In doing this piece of work he will be one of the most useful units in the army of defense. At this time it is as important for the Southern farmer to enlist to pro duce food crops as it is-for the young men of the South to enlist as soldiers. It will be easy to get men for the army. It should be easy to get men to raise farm crops. Let Southern fanners rally to the call. Let them become Home Guards by producing this sum mer such crops as com, cowpeas, sweet potatoes, beans, sorghum, pea nuts, soy beans, velvet beans and such garden crops as tomatoes, turnips, cabbage, onions, Irish potatoes — by raising hogs, poultry^— by producing eggs, milk, butter — by preserving berries, fruits, vegetables — and do all’this not only for themselves, but produce enough to have some to sell. Efficiency and maximum crops are what the national leaders are calling -for. This means making fevery lick coihit to the utmost. It means good Service Bureau, preparation,, liberal fertilization, thor ough cultivation, and crop conserva tion. To Cure a Cold in One Day v Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quiniue. It stops the Cough and Headache and ivorks off the Cold. Druggists refund money if it fails to cure. W. fiRQVJE’S signature each w . Jtto-. Emergency Crops As a guide in meeting the crisis, which is now confronting the South, the Farm Service Bureau suggests the following, which of course, must be modified to suit local conditions: Those crops which can be used for food for man or beast, and which can be planted at once should be given im mediate attention. The acreage of cotton per plow may be maintained, and all possible efforts should be put forth to increase the yield. Lint will bring a good price, and seed will prove valuable because of their oil. On’ a 25-acre tract, in ten or eleven acres of cotton may be given each plow, and it is recommended that seven or eight acres be given to corn In which should be planted peas, soy beans or velvet beans. The corn can be har vested, and' the beans or peas given over to pasture or gathered for feed. At least two acres should'be given to soy beans or' cowpeas and sorghum for hay. One acre for grazing; one acre for sorghum syrup; one acre for sweet potatoes, and one for different kinds of vegetables. This will give a total of 25 acres, and represents only the crops for summer planting. Winter grains may be seeded immediately af ter some of these are harvested. Everything bearing upon large yields should be given emphasis. The land should be thoroughly prepared; the best known varieties used; the. right kind and liberal amounts of fer tilizer applied, and thorough cultiva tion given. This is of special importance over much of the South where the soils are lacking in soluble plant foods. Not less'than 400 to 600 pounds of fertil izer should be used per acre on the crops suggested. . On account of the car shortage and the farmers' inability to secure ample j fertilizer to put under their crops atj the time the land was being prepared,! it is recommendd that a liberal side! application of ,fertilizer be used on all.; crops already planted. Increase of crop ■ yields will come with increase in quan tity of fertilizer used. One serious defect, is nolicea'dej in 'the' selective draft. law.

Toevery American citizen and school bov, Amercia and its flag and what they represent, should be the most important and beloved subject in the world except "the itburcb and its blood-stained ban ner of the Cross, on which is in scribed: “Peace on earth and good will to men.” Every nation or kingdom that has ever existed on earth, has been described in prophecy, giv jug their rise, fall and sub di visions. And each of them is symbolized by some kind of an imal. demonstrating the spirit of “national prepared ness* ’ for con quest of power and influence in tHe world. We. briefly mention them in the oidar as they appear in the Bible, and as interpreted by leading theoligans and com mentators, In them all, the government is symbolized, because each one reflects the character of the one, or ones who were to“bear rale over it. Babylon is the first, and is de scribed as being like a vicious lion with eagle’s wings, denoting the rapidity with ■ which Babylon extended its conquests under King Nebuchadnezzar. But it finally got its wings plucked, and could no longer fly like an eagle upon its prey. It al60 lost the boldness of the lion, and the empire, as with.a heart of man, become weak, timorous and faint. Medo Persia is second, and was established by Cyrus. It is de scribed as being like a large and ravenous bear, with three ribs be tween its teeth, denoting cruelty and thirst for blodd. 1’he Medes and Persians were noted as robbers anil Bpoileis. The three ribB be tween its teeth signified the three provences—Babylon, Lydia and Egypt—which it heartlessly ground down and oppressed. Grecia is the third, and is de scribed as being a leopard. It had four heads, and also had four wings as a bird. The two wings the bear had, were not enough for it. Bival preparedness, seel Grecia. under its King Alexander, was the most renowned empire in the then knowned world, especial ly noted lor its suddnesB . and rapidity. Alexander's brilliant career in a drunken debansh. Then the empire wa9 devided between his four leading generals, which the four heads of the beast, evidently meant to Bigaify. The Bomau empire is foutih. It destroyed the Grecian and be came mistress of the world. Itis described as being like a dreadful and terrible strong Hod , having ten horns, large iron teeth and a body scaly like a fish,—all denot iog greater preparedness. The ten horns indicating the ten succeed - iug Kings, or political Kingdoms of Bome. The Papacy is fifth, and is a spiritual as well 03 a political Kingdom, an outgiowth of, or an ally of Bome’s. Itds described as being like the ten horned beast, with three of its hornB plucked out,leaviugseven. On thetip ol Ihe middle or seventh' horn, pro- I nules a head like that of a man haviog a face, eyes and mouth. Ou this head is a crown, out. oi the top of wtiich appears a little horn which, becomes,. as, it were overseer, and spokesman for all the horns, or subjects below it. symbolizing the ecclesiastical -do minion of the pope, or bishop of Bome. A nd certainly denoting preparedoess gone to seed. The Medo-Persia-’s second King 01 Kingdom L filth, and is de 8Oiibeijvas being likey%dOTge^ri%, thin, having two large'fibrnhj^hafjp and standing high, denoting such piepaiedness that ho' animal dr Kingdom could stand before him. Beiug thus prepared,'he rushes to • he waters’ edge, seeking con quests. But he,failed utterly. Grecia’s second King for;: Kihgr dom is the sixth, and is described as a flying he-goat—an areoplane,, fighting animal,—having one strong, long horn, straight out from between his eyes. Doubt less from the people it represented!, we borrowed, or inherited th*j breeding of calling our children “ kidB”—young goats—instead off lambs which would be better. This be goat, the flying instrument of warfare, never touched the ground only to do its deadly work. While the Medo-Persiai ram was at the river watching for' an -enemy prehaps, -this flying he goat lighted down upon and killed; the ram, thus conqiioting the Giecians. Bnt in-the prime of its-glorious victories, because of internal troubles prehaps, this he goat’s horn was brokeb, and in place of that one appeared four other horns, denoting a divided King dom into four—Macedonia, Asm- Minor, Syria and Egypt. Aud out of the horn, designated aa Macedonia, came a long whip-like horn, representing the spiritual and political lash of Bome that; made open war against God and1 His saints, killing millions o'f them..Assistant.Secretary of Agricultue , u - j Voormanmade and addres in .

I therefore feel like I want to say a few words about what I remember of seeing and hearing about that time, especially as you were kind enough to tell him that I am still living and able to go about. But you missed my age a little. I am only 78 years old and not 80 as you thought. Iamtrulyglad that mv friend Click feels like he would like to see me and have a talk with me. I certainly would like to see him and have a chat, with him.

Rev. Joseph Crim was the first Lutheran minister who preached at Jerusalem before the war and before I ever visited Davie county. I never heard him preach in Davie but heard him in Rowan county. I suppose before he ever preached in Davie. I knew and was well acquainted with Mr. Henderson Livengood. I was with him in school and knew that he was studying for the ministry but I did not know that he ever preached in Daviecountyor anywhere, though he was a good man and I was sorry when I heard of his death. I often heard of Rev. Martin Miller, but uever heard him preach in Davie. I also heard Rev. J. D. Bowles, but he too, preached in this county before I came to the county. I knew and heard Rev. Bessent and other Bap tist ministers, but as I labored for the greater part of my living I did not go about much in the county and become acquainted with many people of that day and time. I did not attend many of the so-called “good revivals” of which my friend speaks, but I heard much of them and also of many of those who were supposed to have been converted at those meetings, but in less than six months were living as wickedly as to every creature and added, "he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.” Thisisthatsimple gos pel that teaches all the world that God has already had mercy and pre pared a free salvation for all who will accept it by faith in Christ which all can do without begging for mer cy at a mourner’s bench or out in the woods. Surely it is not neces sary to beg our kind Heavenly Fath er to do for us and all men what He has already done in the gift of His only begotten Son. To do so is to doubt God’s word, which would be a great sin. W. R. KETCHIE. BAR ACA-PHILATHEA NEWS WHAT THE CLASSES ARE DOING Fork Pbiiatheas.

OHE YEAS IN P E N U E U Those Who Enrolled Between June 5 and June 11 Won’t Be Prosecuted. —Draft of Registrations is Almost Completed. Washington.—The period of leniency ended June 11 for men between the ages of twenty-one* and thirty, inclu sive, who. failed to register for the war army June 5. Provost Marshal General Crowder sent to the governors of all the states a message asking them "to inaugurate from June 12 a vigorous, aggressive and effective enforcement of'the penal clause of the selective service law against all who have by their failure (o register brought themselves under those provisions.” The penalty for failure to register, on June 5 is imprisonment for a year and enforced registration, but General Crowder, immediately after registra tion day, recommended, that local boards provide further opportunity for delinquents. The departm ent o f. jus tice notified United States attorneys to release those, already arrested for failure to register, providing they have now registered.. General Crowder has alm ost com pleted a draft, of registrations .to gov ern exemptions and exemption boards, and expects to lay it before Secretary Baker in a few days for- . approval. The general believes no class should be exempted as such, but that local boards should 'decide on the circum stances in each individual case. He favors use of some device such as a jury wheel for drawing the names of those to be examined by the ex emption boards, 'The registrations will be made public after .Secretary Baker and President W ilson approve them. General Crowder’s message to gov ernors said: "Quotas are to be assigned to the several states in proportion to the population as determined by the bu reau of the census and not in propor tion to the registration.. The result is that every person who has failed to register is seriously Increasing the burden of those who have registered. "It is requested that every effort be now made to detect and arrest persons subject to registration who have not registered and to bring each promptly to the attention of the nearest repre sentative of the departm ent of jus tice. Care should be taken that the lists prescribed in paragraph thirty- nine (men registered) are promptly posted and all registrants should be asked to assist in bringing non-regis trants to the attention of the police. “In case of doubt as to the age of persons who have not registered, the tabulated records of political organi zations and other local records should be consulted and data may be obtained from the bureau of the census.” BRITISH TROOPS ARE GIVING GERMANS NO REST French and Belgians Are Preparing for Big Infantry Drive.; While the cannon are roaring along the greater portion of the front in Belgium from the region of the North Sea to the French border, probably preliminary to infantry attacks by the French and Belgians, the British troops in the Messlnes region are giv ing the Germans no rest. Not satisfied with the capture of the famous Messines ridge la s t' week, Field Marshal Haig’s men continue here and there to dig further into ,the territory held by the Germans. Sun day night and Monday again witnessed thruts by the British south and southeast of -Messinesl in both of which appreciable gains were made, especially in the neighborhood of La PoIerie farm.

VETERANS ATTEND THE UNVElLlNG OF LEE STATUE. Gettysburg, Pa,—Confederate veter ans from all parts Of the .south came here from W ashington to .attend toe unveiling of ..Virginia’s monument on the Gettysbug hattlefieid. On the spot' Where ‘Pickett’s division formed fifty foiir years ago for its famous charge in the third day’s battle that marked the high tide of the - Confed eracy, a h equestrian statue Of ,Gen. Robert. E. .Lee was formally presented to toe nation. The President's communication was : delivered to. toe Ruqsian Government ! by Ambassador Francis ,at Petrograd. In full it is as follows:. “In view of -.’the approaching visit of toe American delegation . t o Russia to express the deep friendship of too American people for the people of Russia and to discuss the best- and m ost practical m ea'is of co-operation between the two peoples In carrying the present struggle for toe freedom of all peoples to-a successful consum mation, it seems opportune and appro priate that I should state again, in the light of this new partnership, toe ob jects toe United States has had in mind in entering the war. Those ob jects have been very much beclouded during the past few weeks by mis takes and misleading statem ents, and the Issues at stake are too moment ous, too tremendous, too significant for the whole human race to permit any misinterpretations of misunder standings, however slight, to remain unconnected for a moment. “The war has begun to go against Germany, and in their desperate de sire to escape toe inevitable ultimate defeat, those who are in authority in Germany are using every possible in- strum entality, are making use even of the influence of groups and parties among their own subjects to whom they have never been just or fair or even tolerant to promo te .^.propaganda on both sides Of' the sea which will preserve for them their influence at home and'their power abroad to the undoing of the .very men they are using. “The position of America in this w ar is so clearly avowed that no man can be excused for m istaking it. She seeks no m aterial profit or aggran dizem ent-of-any kind. She is fight ing for no advantage or selfish object of - .her own, -but for toe liberation of peoples everywhere from to e aggres sions of autocratic force. The ruling classes In Germany have begun of late to profess a like liberailty and justice of purpose, but only to preserve the power they have set up in Germany and the selfish advantages which they have wrongly gained for themselves and their private objects of power all toe way from. Berlin to Babdad and beyond. Government after . Govern m ent has. by their influence, without open conquest of its. territory, been linked together in a net of intrigue directed against nothing less than toe peace and liberty of the. world.' The meshes of that intrigue m ust- be broken, but cannot be broken unless wrongs already done are undone; and adequate m easures m ust be taken to prevent It from ever again being re- woven or repaired. . “Of course, the Im perial German Government and those whom it is us ing for their own undoing are seeking to obtain pledges .that the. war will end in toe restoration .of the status quo ante. It was the status quo ante out. of which this iniquitioiis war is sued forth, the power of the Imperial German Government within toe Em pire and its widespread domination and Influence outside .of that Empire. That status m ust be altered In such fashion as to prevent any such hideous thing from ever happening again. “We are fighting for the liberty, for the self-government and the undic tated deevlopment of all peoples, and every feature of the settlem ent that concludes this w ar m ust be conceived and executed for that purpose. W rongs m ust first be righted and then adequate safeguards much be created to prevent their being committed again. W e ought not to consider reemdies m erely because they have as pleasing and sonorous sound.. Prac tical questions can be settled only by practical means. Phrases will not ac complish the result. Effective read justm ents will and whatever readjust m ents are necessary must be made. “But they m ust follow a principle and th at principle ds plain. No people m ust be forced under sovereignty un der -which it does not wish to live. No territory m ust change hands except for the purpose of securing those who Inhabit it a fair chance of life and liberty. No indemnities must- be.in sisted on except .those that, constitute payment -for manifest wrongs done. No readjustm ents of power m ust be made except such as will tend to se- eure the future -peace of the world and the future welfare and happiness of its peoples. . “And then the free people of toe world m ust draw together. In some common covenant, some genuine and practical co-operation .that will , in ef fect combine their force to secure peace and justice in. the dealings of nations with one.m other. The broth erhood of m ankind , m ust no longer be a fair but empty phrase; irt m ust be given a structure of force and. reality. The nations m ust realize their com mon life and effect a -workable part nership to secure that life' against the ' aggressions of autocratic and self- pleasing power. For these things, we /.an afford--to pour out -blood and treasure.. .For -these are toe tilings we have always professed to desire, and unless, we pour out Mood and •treasure now and succeed, We may nevei*, be] able ,to, uhfte or show, con quering force again in the great cause of hninan liberty. The day has come to conquer or submit. If the forces of autocracy can divide us, they will overcome u s ;' if we stand together, victory is certain and Ihe Iiberty--Which victory ' will hecure. We can afford then to be generous, 'but we cannot afford toon o r now to be weak or omit ony slrigle guarantee of justice - and security.” G U RE-ELECTED COMMAN D E Rd N- CHIEF OF CONFEDERATE VET ERANS BY ACCLAMATION.

COMMISSIONER YOUNG URGES ELIMINATION OF FIREWORKS IN CELEBRATION. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. Insuraoce Commissioner Young in his campaign looking to the entire elimination of fireworks in celebration . of the fourth of July in North Caro lina this year, has given out the fol lowing statement: "Independence Day in this, the most momentous year in, American history, is a day which each loyal citizen feels .should be given every show of patriot ism and all demonstration of loyalty to the nation. At a time when the TJnited States has been drawn into the greatest war of all time to “make the vorid safe Iof Democracy” it is but fitting that all the citiiens of the first and greatest Democracy of the. world ‘ should ' observe its natal day in a proper manner. Ilay exercise b, pa triotic gatherings, religious. ceremo nies with prayer for the guidance of those entrusted with leadership are but fitting and proper modes of ex pressing Uiis fealty' to America and pledging .fidelity in the 'cause in which her banners are unfurled and to which her sons' are consecrated. "America today is not the America of 18S8 or even the America of 1916. H jr patriotism of 1917, while not one whit less ardent than in the former years, is a conservative patriotism. Every energy of officials In all gov- . ernmentat- departments is being, ex pended toward conservation. Conser- , vation of food, of money, of health and of life. “North Carolina will do. her. part in . observing Independence Day, July 4, 'but let us hope it shall be for once said that thle state paid a glorious tri bute on the nation’s birthday without the use of a bit of fireworks. Let os .!hope that it will be a noiseless and a 'flreless Fourth of July. “It has been repeatedly suggested that the use of fireworks at this time 'might work, a great deal of harm to the country. No one can doubt it who "has kept track of the Fourth of July bonfires and mortality lists during !past years. The danger this year is 'multiplied many times.

Appointment by Governor Bickett of a special commission for the inves tigation of North Carolina’s ttudng system, is expected, at 'any time now. The last Legislature passed an act di recting'the Governor to appoint such a commission, he to be ex-ottlclo mem ber, the coinmislon to ;te -organized for service .'by July I.. The Governor has declared bit purpose to searoh the state for the best men for this com* mission, and ,the announcement ot hlo appointees i* awaited wlth intereot Plant Al) Stubble Lands. An even greater increase in the food and feed crops in North Carolina is going to result from the planting of grain land in second crops than from the additional acreage in the spiling planting is the opinion of the State Fbod Conservation Commission, which has begun a vigorous campaign to in crease the cultivated acreage of these stubble lands. If all of the small grain land could be cultivated in a second crop, the yield would he tremendous —in terms of com, something like .20 ,- 000,000 bushels; in terms of forage, 1,250,000 tons. Tbe whole situation is interestingly and succinctly summed up in a letter which the Commission has just addressed to the TjVwd Con servation Commission in the 100 coun ties of the state. In this letter Ex ecutive Secretary John • Paul Lucas says: We have presented to ns. in the im mediate future our greatest oppor tunity for increasing our acreage of food and feed crops.- North Carolina has this year approximately 1 ,000,000 acres in wheat, oats, and other small grain. AU of this land will be avail able for a second food or feed crop. In years past, according to the best information I am able to obtain, some thing like 76 per cent of this land has remained in stubble until the follow ing fall or spring. In some counties little stubble is allowed to remain; in others almost all of it is left idle. The same percentage would give us this year about 750,000 acres of tillable land, most of it in fine shape to be put into another crop, lying idle in a time of stress—and in a ‘time of oppor tunity. The harvesting season for small grains is 'here. Land that can be put in shape at once can very easily grow and mature a crop ef corn, which will mature anywhere in the state when planted by' June 15th. In some sec tions it will mature when planted even later. Soy beans and sweet potatoes can be planted any time during this month. Cowpeas,. soybeans and sor ghum for forage and Irish potatoes can be planted up to July 15 and 20th. In the mountain sections buckwheat is an excellent catch' crop and should be planted generally. With all of these excellent crops available for plate planting we have a wonderful opportunity before us. In many counties we are handicapped be cause of the lack of labor and limited by the capacity of our livestock, but we must overcome these obstacles to as great an extent as !possible. In many instances land can be put into acceptable shape by cross or double discing instead of breaking, thus per mitting of an economy of labor both of man and beast. All sorts of seed are high, but to offset this the products fare sure to be high also. And then if the farmer will be judicious in the use of seed he can stretch, them out a little further than he has been accustomed to. doing. Sweet potatoes can be planted from cuttings from early vines.. Soy beans should be planted , in rows, one bushel being sufficient to .plant three acres. Cowpeas may- be more economically planted in rows, filtber by themselves, or if planted for forage, mixed with sorghum. Half a bushel of peas or. the mixture will be ,most ample for an acre, and planted - In row3 thus and cultivated once, or twice will yield approximately! as much .if they- were broadcasted.- By planting soybeans, cowpeas an# sor ghum as suggested the seed per acre 'Vffl cost little it any more than m have been paying in years paat.

NEWS REVIEW OF THEfASTWEEK More Than ten Million Young Americans Register for 1 Nationai Army. PERSHING REACHES E N G U N D British Start Tremendous Offensive. In Belgium, First Blowing Up Messines ■ Ridge — Japan Warns Russia Against Withdrawing From the War—Food Scarcity Wor ries Germany. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. More than 10,000,000 men between the ages' of twenty-one and thirty years/responded to the call of the na tion on Tuesday, June 5, registration day for the national army.. Thus the first step in the execution of the se lective ^service law was completed with gratifying success ,and the predictions of the Germans and of the traitors in America who side with them that the registration would be a failure were proved false. That there would be opposition to the registration was a foregone con clusion, but it was sporadic and on the whole was of no importance. Such hostile demonstrations as there • were generally took place In strongholds of the L W. W. and this Socialists and were promptly squelched.' Returns from some states were be low the estimates of the census bu reau, but in other states those esti mates /,were exceeded. A large pro portion of those registering Claimed exemption,, usually because of depend ent relatives, and the war department officials, as a result, intimated that the rules governing exemption would be tightened. The considerable number of claims for exemption really. does not mean that so many young Americans desire to avoid service. Such a conclusion would Ce most unjust, for everywhere there were evidences of unbounded' pa triotism and loyalty, and the indica tions of exemption claims arose mainly from the necessary answers to ques tions that were merely statistical. As soon as the machinery of regis tration is readjusted, 1,500,000 names will -be drafted, the exemption, boards will do their work and 625,000 men will be called for Immediate service. Pershing Arrives In England. The safe arrival of General Per shing and his staff at an English port was announced on Friday. . The naval collier Jupiter, laden with grain and other supplies for the Per shing army and escorted by American warships, arrived at a French port; a squadron of our warships arrived at Rlo de Janeiro, Brazil, presumably to relieve the Britisk navy of the pa trol of the South Atlantic; and more hospital units landed in England and proceeded to France. So much the government allowed to be known of the movements of our armed forces. Military expediency demanded the sup pression of .much more interesting ' news. , Preparations have been made for the reception of American troops In France. A number^of bases have been organized, canjps for infantry and ar tillery have been laid out, and aviation parks established. From France came the news of the exploit of the American steamship SilversheIl which encountered an ene my submarine In the Mediterranean. The two vessels fought for an hour and a halfj exchanging many shots, and then one shell fired by the naval gunners on the Silvershell found its mark and the U-boat was sent to the bottom. . British Offensive In Flanders, After a smashing bombardment last ing three days, the British began their expected offensive In Flanders early Thursday morning with an explosion that was heard by Premier Lloya George at Walton Heath, 140 miles away. Nine miles of German positions ■long the Ypres-Armentleres front were blown into the air by 20 charges of high explosives, totaling a million pounds. Instantly the Englishmen, Irishmen,: Australians and. New Zea landers that make up. the British army In Belgium sprang forward In succes sive waves, and one of the .fiercest battles of the war was on. •The attack wM-cUrected_at. the.Mes- slnes ridge, between Messlnes and Wytschaete, where ever since October of 1914- the Germans had maintained themselves In a sharp salient that .al ways .threatened. ,Tpros, ■. ontyi tliree miles to the north. The.morning rush resulted In the ciapture of Messines and Wytschaete. and the enemy’s de fense systems on the nine-mile .,front, and later in the day another forward movement, took the British into and through the village of Oosttaverne. The entire salient was straightened out and. all the. counter-attacks were re pulsed. Any considerable further ad vance in this sector will threaten the German hold on-Lille, which is about five miles from the nearest British po sition. Large numbers of prisoners already have been taken; .The Germans must have known that the attack of Messtnes ridge was in tended, for the preparatory bombard ment was terrific, and yet reports from prisoners incUcated that they actually were’ taken by Surprise. " 'I*.-. • In preparation for the operations In Flanders the British fleet co-operated with the land forces, subjecting Os- tend to severe' bombardment. The British air forces also were in action, repeatedly raiding the German bases at Zeebrugge, Ostend and Bruges. In retaliation a squadron of German air planes attacked the British naval base in the Medway,' dose to London, on Tuesday, buttwas driven off with the loss of eight machines. Several times during the. week the Germans made vicious attacks In the Aisne and 'Champagne sectors and even gained possession of some French positions; but the gallant pollus al most immediately recovered the lost' ground, inflicting severe losses on the enemy. ' The Austrians claimed to have ef-. fectually checked the Italian advance'’ toward Trieste, and announced that the Italian losses in the offensive were 180,000 men. On Tuesday the Italians were forced back south of Jamlano. Dispatches from* Rome revealed the fact .that Italy had proclaimed the in dependence of Albania. Once more the-British admiralty is- sued» a very satisfactory report on the work of the submarines, showing but 23 British vessels sunk In the week, five of which were fishing ves sels.

' Conditions'In Russia remain chaotic, though they may be straightened out somewhat by the' work of the Root commission and the American railway engineers. The revolt of -'the. garrison of Kronstadt, which^aeclaifed the is land fortress independent, of the gov ernment, caused considerable concern in Petrograd1 but as the action of the garrison was denounced by the Petro- grad council of' workmen’s and sol diers’ delegates it collapsed, and the garrison bowed to the authority of the provisional government. 9 FoUowlng President Wilson’s exam-, pie, France replied to Russia’s state ment of her peace plan by setting forth In a general way the demands of the French. These; embodied in a vote of the chamber of deputies, in clude the liberation of the territories Invaded by Germany, the return to France of Alsace-Lorraine and just reparation'for damage. Japan also took official cognizance last' week of thq Russian crisis, in forming; the government at Petrograd that If Russia, withdraws from the war Japan, In consultation with. England and the United States, will consider what measures to adopt Oie pro visional government was warned that if Russia accepts a separate peace It will become another Austria tinder the domination of Germany, will lose Po*, land, Lithuania and Finland and win be stripped of - many of her outlying possessions. Furthermore, Japan In formed Great Britain that while, In case of Russia’s withdrawal from the entente, Japan .would prefer to send her troops to France rather than to undertake military chastisement of Russia, if jhe new situation seemei to threaten Japan the latter would take' measures for self-protection. This means she would declare war on Ilus- sla and take away Manchmla aud pos- sibly, outer Mongolia. • The best informed opinion is that the entente allies have little to hope from Russia In the V/ay of further ac tive ' participation in the war. if she can be persuaded to reject a separate peace and to' hold the Germans back from further invasion, that is abont the. limit:, of -reasonable expectation. The provisional government seems ut terly lacking In cohesion and its power is negligible. The strike of munition workers in Petrograd was averted on Wednesday, but only by granting the demauds ot the men, including the six-hour day. General BrussilofC was made com mander in chief of the Russian armies, .and- General Gurko again resigned as commander on the western front. • Two Things ‘Worry Germany. •Two things are' causing especial anxiety in Germany.. One is the per sistent demand of the masses iu Aus- tria-Hungary . for a peace on the Scheldemann plan of no annexations and no indemnities—a separate peace if Germany remains obdurate. The Germain Socialists are aroused to an ger by the prospect" of this breaking up of the alliance of the central pow ers; and lay all the blame on the pan- Germans. The other cause for German worry is the scarcity of food, which Admit tedly is increasing throughout the em pire. Food Controller von Batocki told.the reichstag that the potato crop is smaller than was expected, and that |_ the crops In the occupied territories are a great disappointment, as seed will hardly germinate in ruined soil In. Turkey, Bulgaria and Austria, he admitted, the food situation was des perate. The cities and towns over there are suffering far more than the country districts, for the peasants re tain much of the meats and other food stuffs'they produce, despite the ef forts of the officials to force them to disgorge. In some parts of Germany the townspeople have been conducting regular expeditions into the country to seize food, by armed force if neces sary. The war and the question of China’s participation therein are causing a lot of trouble for the rulers of tnat so- called republic. The situation is con fusing to occidentals, but the concrete results have included the revolt of U provinces, which formed a provisional government, and the resignation of the vice president. Germany undertook to appease Spain by apologizlng'for the sinking of a Spanish vessel and offering to pay 4 damages, but the Spaniards 'are still angry and the food situation there is bad. King Aifnnsn last week made a demand on the central powers that the abuse of Jews in Palestine be stopped and in this was backed up by the Ar* gentine republic. Northcllffe Comes to America. ' An Interesting development of the week was the acceptance by Lord NorthcUffe of the position of head or ,the British war commission In the United States In succession to Arthur J. Balfour. The great editor and pub lisher is, next to Lloyd-George, the most influential man In Great BrItaip and It is predicted that his work in America will be momentous. A neat example of German methods ot oppression Is supplied by the treat* ment of Mons. That Belgian town was fined $100,000 last week because a Belgian paperi printed In Holland, announced'. that Crown Prince K®* precht of Bavaria was In Mons whett that city was bombarded by allied a men—also, probably, because the Ger mans needed the money.

At last, how ever, her restraint broke, and, looking up, she abruptly demanded: ’’Air ye a-goin’ away, Samson?” ’’Who's been a-talkin’ ter ye?” de manded the boy, angrily. For a moment, the girl sat silent. Finally, she spoke in a grave voice: "Hit hain’t nothin' ter, git mad about, Samson.

Then, with a piquing’ of his masculine ,vanity, he demanded: '‘Hain’t ye a-keerin’, Sally, whether I goes, or not?” . , The girl grew rigid. Her fingers on the crumbling plank of the stile’s top tightened and gripped hard. Her face did not betray her, nor her voice, though she had to gulp down a rising lump in her throat before she could answer calmly. “I think ye had ought to go, Sam son.” The boy was astonished. He had avoided-the subject for fear of her op position—and tears. Then, slowly, she went on: , “There hain’t nothin’ in these here hills fer ye, Samson. Down thar, ye’ll see lots of things thet’s new—an’ civil ized an’ beautiful!: Ye’ll see lots of gals thet kin read an’, write, gals dressed up in all kinds of fancy fix- in's.” Her glib words ran out and ended in a sort of inward gasp. Compliment came hardly and awk wardly to Samson’s lips. ’ He reached for the girl’s hand, and whispered: “I reckon I won’t see no gals thet’s as purty as you be, Sally. I reckon ye knowB, whether I goes or stays, we’re a-goin’ ter git married.” She drew her hand away, and laughed, a little bitterly. In the last day, she had ceased to be a child, and become a woman with all the soul-ach ing possibilities of a woman’s intui tions. “Samson," she said, “I hain’t askin’ lJe ter make me no promises. When ye sees them other gals—gals thet kin read an' write—I reckon mebby ye'H .think diff’rent. I can't hardly spell out printin’ In the fust reader.’ Her lover’s voice was scornful of the imagined dangers, as a recruit may be ot the battle terrors—before he has been under fire. He slipped his arm about her and drew her over to him “Honey,” he said, “ye needn’t fret about thet. Readin’ an’ writin’ can’t make no difference fer a woman. Hit’s mighty important fer a man, but you’re a gal” “You’re a-goin’ ter think diff’rent at- Iter awhile," she insisted.- “When ye floss, I hain’t a-goin' ter be expectin’ P6 ter come back .. . .' But’’—the jtesolutlon In her voice for a moment quavered as she added—"but God knows I’m a-goin’ ter be hopin’i” “Sally!” The boy rose, and paced op and down in the road. “Air ye floin’ ter be ag’lnst me, too? Don’t ye see that I wants ter have a chanst? Can’t ye trust me? I’m jeBt a-trytn’ to amount to something.. I'm plumb tired of bein’ ornery an’ no ’count." She nodded. *’ve d°ne told ye,” she said, wearily, Thet I thinks ye ought ter do hit.’’ * * * * ' * . * . # HfiBcott and Samson discussed the matter frequently.

From fore noon until'after midnight,'.shuffle; jig and fiddling would hold high, if rough, carnival. But, while the youngeir folk abandoned themselves to these diver sions, the grayer heads would gather In more serious, conclave. Jesse Purvy had once more beaten back death, and his mind had probably been devising,: during those bed-ridden days ' and nights, plans of reprisal. According to current report, Purvy had an nounced that his would-be assassin dwelt ^ on Misery, and was "marked down."- So, there were obvious exi gencies which the Souths must pre pare to meet. In particular, the clan must thrash out to definite under standing the demoralizing report that Samson South, their logical leader, meant to abandon them, at a crisis when war-clouds were thickening. The painter had finally resolved to cut the Gordian knot, and leave the mountains, He had trained on Sam son to the last piece all his artillery of argument. The case was now submit ted with the suggestion that the boy take three months to consider, and that, if he decided affirmatively, ne should notify Lescott in advance of his coming, He proposed sending, Samson "I Reckon Hit’s A-'goin’ Ter Jest About Kill Me.” a small library of carefully picked' books, which the mountaineer eagerly agreed to devour in the interval. Lescott consented, however, to re main over Saturday, and go to the dance, since he was curious to observe what pressure was brought to bear on the boy, and to have himself a final word of argument after kinsmen had spoken.. Saturday morning came after a night of torrential rain, which had left the mountains steaming under a reek of fog and pitching clouds. But, as the morning wore on, the sun fought its way to view In' a scrap of overhead blue. From log cabins and plank houses up and down Misery and its tributaries, men and women be gan their hegira toward the milk Les- cott rode-In the wake of Samson, who had Sally on a pillow at his back. They came before noon to the mouth of Dry- hole creek, and the house of Wile Mc- Cager. Already, the picket fence was lined with tethered horses and m'Ulee. From the interior of the house Came the sounds of fiddling, though these strains of “Turkey In the Straw” were only by- way of prelude. Lescoit felt, though he could not say just what con crete. thing told him, that under the shallow note of merry-making brooded the major theme of a troublesome problem. The seriousness was below the surface, but insistently depressing. He saw, too, that he himself was mixed up with it in a fashion, which might become dangerous, when a few jugs of white liquor had been emptied, - While the young persons danced and "sparked” within, and the more truculent lads escaped to the road to pass the jug, and forecast with youth ful war-fever “cleanin’ out the Holl- mans,” the elders were deep in ways and means. If the truce could be pre served for its Unexpired period of three years, it was, of course, best In that event, crops could be cultivated, and lives saved.. But, if Jesse Purvy chose to regard his shooting as a breach of terms, and struck, he would strike hard, and, in that event, best defense lay in striking first. Samson would soon be twenty-one. That he would take his place as head of the clan had until now never been ques tioned—and he was talking of deser tion. For that, a pink-skinned for eigner, who wore a woman’s bow of ribbon at his collar, was to blame. The question of loyalty must be'square ly put up to Samson, and it must be done today. His answer must be defi nite and unequivocal. As a guest of Spicer South, Lescott was entitled to that consideration which is accorded Hone the less, the vital affair of the clan could not be balked by considera tion for a stranger, who, In the opin ion' of the majority, should be driven from' the country, as an insidious -mis chief-maker. Ostensibly, the truce still held, 'but/ a t; no time since Uts signing had mattfers-been so freighted with the menace of a gathering storm. The attitude of each fa'ption was that of several men standing quiet with guns trained hn one another’s, breasts: Each hesitated to fire, knowing that :to rpull the trigger-meant.-'to die himself,-yet fearing .that. another trigger might at any moment Tie drawn! Purvy dared not h |v e Saimson shot out of hand, be cause he. feared that the Souths would claim his lifesln return, yet he feared to let Samson live. On the other hand, if Purvy fell, no South could balance his death, except Spicer or Samson. Any situation, that might put condi tions to -a moment of issue would either prove that the truce was being observed, or open the war—and yet each faction was guarding against such an event as too fraught with danger. One thing was certain. By persuasion or force, Lescott must leave, and Sam son must show himself to be the youth he had been thought, or the confessed and repudiated renegade. Those ques tions, today must answer. It was a difficult situation, and promised an eventful entertainment. Whatever conclusion was reached as to the art ist’s future, he was, until the verdict came in, a visitor, and, "unless' liquor inflamed some reckless trouble-hunter, that fact would not be forgotten. Pos- Siblyj It was as well that Tamarack Spicer had not arrived., Lescott himself realized the situa tion in part, as he stodd at the/ door of the. house watcfiing the'scene • inside. There was; of course, no round danc ing—IKmly the IshuffieV and jig—with champions ‘ contending for the honor of their sections; • •' • In the group about'the door, Lescott passed a youth with' tow-white hair and very, pink cheeks. The .boy was the: earliest to succumb to the tempta tion :of'the moonShine jug, a tempta tion which would later claim others. He was reeling crazily, and his albino eyes wfere now red and inflamed. “Thet’s ther damned furriner thet’s done turned Samson inter a gal,” pro claimed the youth, in a thick voice. The painter paused, and looked back. The boy was reaching under his coat, with hands that had become clumsy and unresponsive. “Let- me git at him,” he shouted, with a wild whoop and a dash toward the painter. Lescott said nothing, but Sally had heard, and stepped swiftly between. "You’ve got ter git past nje fust, Buddy,’’ she said, quietly. “I reckon ye’d better run on home, an’ git yore mammy ter put ye fer bed.” CHAPTER Yll- Several soberer men closed around the boy, and after disarming him, led him away grumbling' and muttering, while Wile McCager made apologies to the guest. “Jimmy’s jest'a peevish child," he explained. “A drop or two of licker makes him skittish. I hopes ye’U look over hit.” Jimmy’s outbreak was interesting to Lescott chiefly as tin indication of what might follow. Unwilling to in troduce discord by his presence, and involve Samson in quarrels on his ac count, he suggested riding back to Misery, but the boy’s face clouded at the suggestion. “Ef they kain’t be civil ter- my friends," he said, shortly, "they’ve got ter account ter me. You stay right hyar, and. I’ll stay dost to you. I done come hyar today ter tell ’em that they mustn’t meddle In my business.” A short while later, Wile McCager invited Samson to come out to the mill, and the boy nodded to Lescott an invitation to accompany him. The mill, dating back to pioneer days, sat by its race with its shaft now idle. It looked to Lescott, as he ap proached, like a scrap, of landscape torn from some medieval picture, and the men about its door seemed medie val, too; bearded and gaunt, hard- thewed and sullen. All of them who stood waiting were men of middle age, or beyond. A num ber were gray-haired, but they were all of cadet branches. Many of them, like Wile McCager himself, did not bear the name of South, and Samson.was the eldest son of the eldest son. "Samson,” began old Wile McOager, clearing his throat and taking up bis duty as spokesman, “we're all your kinfolks here, an’ we aimed ter ask ye about this here report thet yer ’lowin’ ter leave the mountings?” “What of hit?” countered the boy; “Hit looks mighty like, the war’s a-goin’ ter be on ag’in pretty soon. Air ye a-goin’- ter quit, or air ye a-goln' ter stick? Thet’s what we wants ter know.” “I didn’t make this here truce, an* I hain’t a-goin’ ter bust hit,” said the boy, quietly. 'fWhen the war com mences, I’ll be hyar. Bf I hain’t hyar In the meantime, hit hain’t nobody’s business. I hain’t accountable ter no man but pap, an’ I reckon, whar he is, he knows whether I'm a-goin’ ter keep pay word.” There was a moment’s silence, then Wile McCager put another question: “Ef ye’re plumb sot on gettin’ larnin’ why don’t ye git hit right hyar in these mountings?” Samson laughed derisively. "Who’ll I git- hit from?” he causti cally inquired. “Ef the mountain won’t come ter Mohamet, Mohamet's got ter go ter the mountain, I reckon.” Caleb WHey rose unsteadily to his feet, his shaggy beard trembling with wrath and hie voice quavering with senile Indignation. \ “Hev ye done got too damned good fer yore kinfolks, Samson South?" he shrilly demanded. “Hev ye done been follerin’ atter this here puny witch doctor twell ye can’t keep a civil tongue in yer head fer yore elders?. I’m In favor of runnln' this here-fur riner outen the country with tar an* feathers on him: Furthermore, I’m in favor of cleanin’ out the Hollmans. I was jest a-sayin’ ter Bill—" “Never mind what ye war jest a-sayin’,”; interrupted the boy, flushing redly to his cheekbones, but con trolling his voice. “Ye've done said enough a’ready. Ye’re a right old man, Caleb, an’ I reckon thet gives ye-some license ter shoot Off yore, face,, but fit any of them no-’count, shif’less boys ot yores wants ter back up what ye says, I’m ready ter go out thar an’ make ’em eat h it I hain’t a-goin’ ter answer no' more questions." There w as. a commotion of argu ment, until “Black Dave” Jasper, a sat urnine giant, whose hair was no black er than his expression, rose, and a semblance of quiet greeted him as he spoke. "Mebby, Samson, ye’ve got a right ter take the studs this a-way, an’ ter refuse ter answer our questions, but we’ve got a right ter say who kin ,stay in this hyar country. ■ Ef ye ’lows ter quit us, I reckon we kin quit you— and, if we quits ye, ye. hain’t nothin' more ter- us then no other boy. thet’s' gettin’ too big fer his breeches. This furriner is a visitor here today, an' we don’t ’low ter hurt him—but he s got ter go. We don’t want him round hyar no longer.” H e'turned to Les cott. “We’re a-givin’ ye fair warnin’, stranger. Ye hain’t our breed. Atter this, ye stays on MiBery at yore own risk—an’ hit’s a-goin’' ter be plumb' risky. That thar’s final.” . "This man,” blazed the boy, before Leecott could speak, "is a-visitin’ me an’ Unc’ .Spicer. When ye wants him ye kin come up thar an’ git him.Every damned man of ye kin come. I hain’t a-sayin’ how many of ye’ll go back. He was ’lowin’ that'he’d leave hyar ter- morrer mornin’, but' atter this I’m a-tellin* ye he hain’t a-goin’ ter do hit. He’s a-goin’ ter stay es long es he likes, an’ nobody hain’t a-goin’ ter run him off.” Samson, took his stand be fore the painter, and swept the group with his eyes. “An’ what’s more,” he added, “I’ll tell ye another thing.. I hadn’t plumb-made up iny mind ter leave the mountings, but ye’ve done settled hit fer me. I’m’ a-goin’.” There was a low murmur of anger, and a voice cried out from the rear: “Let him go. We hain’t got no use fer damn cowards.”' “Whoever said thet’s a liar!” shout ed the boy. Lescott, standing at hi3 side, felt that the situation was more than parlous. But, before the storm could break, some one rushed In, and whispered to Wile McCager a message that caused him to raise both hands above his head, and thunder for at tention. “Men,” he roared, “listen ter me! This here hain’t no time fer squab- blin’ amongst ourselves. We’re all Souths. Tamarack - South has done gone ter Hixon, an’ got inter trouble. He’s locked up . in the jailhouse.”' “We're all hyar,” screamed old .Ca leb’s high, broken voice. “Let’s go an’ take him out” Samson’s anger had died. He turned, and held a whispered conversation with McCager, and, at its end, the host of the day announced briefly: "Samson’s got somethin’ ter say ter ye. So long as he’s willin’ ter stand by us, I reckon we’re willin' ter listen ter Henry South’s boy;” "I hain’t got no use for Tam’rack Spicer,” said the boy, succinctly, “but I don't ’low ter let him lay in no jail house, unlessen he’e got a right ter be thar. What’s he charged with?” But no one knew that A man sup posedly close to the Hollmans, but In reality an informer for the Souths, had seen him led into the jailyard by a posse of a half-dozen men, and had seen the iron-barred doors dose on him. That was all, except that the Hollman forces were gathering In Hixon, and, if the Souths went there en masee, a pitched battle must be the inevitable result. The first step was ‘This Hsln’t No Time for 8 quabblln' Amongst Ourselves.” to gain accurate information and an answer to one vital question. Was Tamarack held as a feud victim, or was his ,arrest legitimate? Hovz to learn that was, the problem. To send a body of men was to invite bloodshed. To send a single inquirer-was to de liver him over to the enemy. “Air you men willin’ ter take my word about Tamarack?” inquired Sam- eon. There was a clamorous assent, and the boy turned to Lescott “I wants ye ter take Sally home with ye. Ye’d better start right away, afore she heers any of this talk. Hit would fret her. Tell her I’ve had ter go ’cross ther country a piece, tei* see a sick man. Don’t tell her whar I’m a-goin’.” He turned. to the others. "I. reckon I’ve got yore promise thet Mr. Lescott hain’t a-goln’ ter be bothered afore I gits back?” WUe McCager promptly gave the as surance. „ .' ffI gives ye. iny ,hand on h it” . "I seed Jlm Asberry'loafin’ round jest beyond ther ridge, ae I rid over hyar,” volunteered the man who had brought the message. , "Go slow now, Shmson. Don’t be no blame fobl,” dissuaded Wile McCager. “Hixon’s plumb full of .them Hollmans, an’ they’re likely ter be full of licker— hit’s Saturday.. Hit’s apt ter be shore death fer ye ter try ter ride through Main street—ef ye gits thet far. Ye dassent do hit,” “I dast do anything!” asserted the boy, with a flash, of sudden anger; “Some liar ’lowed awhUe ago; thet I was a coward. All right, mebby I be. Unc’ Wile, keep thie boys hyar tell ye hears from me—an’ keep ’em sober.” He turned and made his' way to the fence where his mule stood hitched. When Samson crossed the ridge and entered the Hollman country, Jim As- berry, watching from a hilltop point of vantage, rose and mounted the horse that stood hitched behind a nearby screen of rhododendron bushes and young cedars. Sometimes, he rode just one bend of the road in Samson’s rear. Sometimes, he took short' cuts, and watched his enemy pass. But always he held him under a vigilant eye. Finally, he reached a wayside store where a local telephone gave communi cation with Hollman’s Mammoth De partment store. “Jedge,” he informed, “Samson South’s done left the party et ther mill, an’ he’s a-ridin’ towards town. Shall I git him?” • “Is he cornin’ by hisself?” inquired the storekeeper. “Yes.” “Well, jest let him come' on. We Can tend ter him hyar, ef necessary.” So Jim withheld his hand, and merely shadowed, sending' bulletihs, from time to time. - It was about three o’clock when Sam son started. It was near six when he reached the ribbon of road that loops down into town over the mountain.- His muld was in a lather of sweat. He knew.that he was being,spied upon, and that word of his .coming was trav eling ahead of him. ' What he did not know was whether or not it suited Jesse Purvy’s purpose that he should slide from his mule, dead, before he turned homeward. . If Tamarack had been seized as a declaration- of war, the chief South would certainly not be allowed to return. If thearresthad not been for feud" reasons, he might escape. That , was the question which Would be answered with his life or death. The “jailhouse" was a small build ing of home-made brick, squatting at the rear of the courthouse yard. As Samson drew near, he saw that some ten or twelve men, armed with' rifles, separated from groups and disposed themselves behind the tree tranks and the stone coping of the well. None of them spoke, and Samson pretended that he had not seen them. He rode his mule at a walk, knowing that he was rifle-covered from a half-dozen windows. At the hitching rack direct ly beneath the county building, he flung his reins over a post, and, swing ing his rifle at his side, passed cau tiously along the brick walk to the jail. The men behind the trees edged around their covers as he went, keep ing themselves protected, as squirrels creep around a trank when a hunter is lurking below. . Samson halted at the jail wall, and called the prisoner’s name. A tousled head and surly face appeared at the barred window, and the boy went over and 'held converse from the outelde. “How in hell did ye git into town?" demanded the prisoner. “I rid In,” was the short reply. “How’d ye git , in the jailhouse?” The captive was Bhamefaced. “I got a leetle too much licker, an’ I was shootin’ out the lights last night,” he confessed. “What business did ye have hyar In Hixon?” “I jest slipped in ter see a gal." Samson leaned cloeer, and lowered his voice. -“Does-they know thet ye shot them shoots at Jesse Purvy?” Tamarack turned pale. "No,” he stammered, "they believe you done hit.”Samson laughed. He was thinking of the rifles trained on him from a dozen invisible rests. "How long air they a-goin’ ter keep ye hyar?” he demanded. “I kin git out tomorrer ef I pays the fine.-'Hit’s ten dollars'." “And’ ef yo don’t pay the fine? “Hit’s a dollar a day.” "I reckon ye don’t ’low ter pay hit, do ye?” «1 ’lowed mebby ye mout pay hit fer me, Samson.” . “Ye done lowed plumb wrong. I come hyar ter see ef ye needed help, but hit ’pears ter me they’re lettln’ ye oil easy.”He turned on his heel, and went back to his mule. The men behind the trees began circling again. Samson mounted, and. with his chin well up, trotted back along the main street It was over. The question was answered. The Hollmans regarded the truce as BtUl effective. The fact that they were permitting him to ride out alive was a wordless assurance of th at Inci dentally, he stood vindicated in the eyes of his own people. ’ <TO BE CONTINUED.)

We copy the following editorial - from the MemphisCommerical Appeal. When a bunch of unfortunate women was herded before Judge Bemnet Hill with the usual metaphorical whips of scorn, the righteous judge took a glance at the group of saintly men who did the arresting and then looked about the room. Leaning down from his desk he said -to the officers: “Here are the women, but where are the. men?" Finding that not one guilty man had been disturbed,’Judge Hill released the women and sternly told the officers that next titiie they brought such women be fore him, they must briiig the men also "To arrest one party to a crime and let the other party go," said the judge, is not the spirit of the law, either of God or man." The editor of this-Question Box wishes she could hand over to Judge Hill a man who defiled his little step daughter and continues to live with her in s respectable community in' North Carolina. The best men of the town went, to him and demanded that in the name of decency he leave the place.He consulted a lawyer who.told him he could laugh in the citizens’ faces, for' the State Law. would protect him, since, the orphan child was ten years old. This honorable lawyer is a North Carolinian.

MOST PREVENT FIBES .WHICH IIESTROr FOOD Ton cannot continue' to eat if you continue to burn up thefcod! Therefore, if you want to eat—and to continue to ©at—prevent the fires that are destroying vast stores of the country’s food products every day. / Tlu»se are the salient thoughts of a letter recently issued by one of the largest insurance companies to its agents and to the insurance frater nity: - The letter ',emphasizes the fact that the duty to sierve cannot be dele* sated. “U. S. stands for the United States," it says, “but it spells US, and -with a very distinctive spelling when a.’‘state of war? arrives.” The-Ietter is a.clarion call to indi- Tidual service—personal assumption ofirestKmsibillty for waste,: -however caused and whatever 'it aflects jbut with particular reference to the.pre vention of food wastage by fire. The insurance company’s: call la to the agents of the company first, to the Insurance fraternity second; , but it applies with equal force' to every man woman—even every "'child—that handles or in the remotest degree Is responsible for created' values, wheth er created by man’s handiwork or pro ceed as the result of his labor. 4jTh$. latter .'follows: 3?Iri-tbe stress which confronts our country we have also the recognized importance of. the individual, the quan- itity and quality of the personal obli gation of. every citizen, which in less »txen\ious times is overlooked or tjtiioredi It is not a time when per s is t' .responsibility may be left to parties, societies,1 officials, aggrega te s ,: etc!,'which in "piping, times” of plate’and prosperity is too much our ^ i t ' Each must now follow the flag fpa hlmself—we cannot avoid or dele- gsiW. our duty.

W-e may not dimihish con tinued Iosa by’war, but there'can and must be'salvage from the Jossr by fire.

Sotionly' grain in [elevators, but grain and ’flour in .mills and/ warehouses; ineats' tin cold storage and packing houses; food^ln wholesale" and retail Iiroceries^ camningjand provision estab- .Ushpaents—in fact, few fires occur the loss of foodstuffs now ao potentially precious. That there was insurance cuts-: no figure for you can not eat money. * * * “In behalf of our mutual business and the higher motive of patriotism, it occurs to us to suggest that you use your war-stimulated earnestness and quickened sense of duty for serving your country, in a consecrated effort for the prevention of loss by fire in your busines territory and plan a cam paign which will" make inceidiarism as odious as treason and careless in difference to flre-prevention require ments as nothing less than criminal! “You have the ability, the knowl edge and the experience; you have the confidence of your clients . and acquaintances, and you have behind you the critical need of your country in conserving, the supply of food. Tou know where fire dangers exist and what improvements are needed. This is no small matter at any time, but is much emphasized just now and is worthy of your determined un dertaking according to plans which are best calculated to bring results in your respective localities. Enlist the interest of your , competitors, your fire department,, your good citizens, your local press, and arouse’ your commun ity to the prodigal wastage ot fire, which can easily be lessened. We are sure that if the insurance men of this country were conscious of how much they could do in this behalf and made that consciousness active along lanes in which they- are well informed, our shameful annual ash-heap would di minish, rates of insurance would de crease, a patriotic service would be rendered and an important contribu tion to the food supply of the future would be made.” There is no gainsaying the import ance and timeliness of (this plea. The country is not yet awake to the fact that we are at war. The sound of the guns is afar off and it is on the other side of the world that men are dying. Yet millions in value—including mil lions of value in food—and hundreds of lives have been destroyed here at home in the carrying out of-a war fare ass, real as that raging from the English Channel to the Swiss frontier and as bittef as that which ha* filled the gloomy chambers of stormy seas with uncounted dead. • And all because there has been, In this country, no adequate system of prevention, no well-planned method of. projection, no general adoption of sound principles- for the accomplish ment of fire extinguishment. Individual responsibility is a burden on all; but it bears with a compelling force on those whose properties are destroyed, and particularly those millf= where grain, is ground into flour and ineal, In the warehouse where food stuffs are stored and especially in the grocery store where the keeping of foodstuffs and- inflammable materials hear together renders an extra -haz ard. It ia up to them to remove every hazard- that is removable. It is up to them to provide every means, method and facility for protection against both internal and' external hazards. : And. above all, if works and devices and systems and methods of prevention fail, there is the laet-trench defense of flre-extingulahment. From the very nature of the problem—food conserva tion—it is necessary that this be ac complished, with the least possible loss dr damage, which presupposes imme diate detection of fire at the point of origin, immediate alarm to outside fire fighters that .fire exists, and immediate setting to work to extinguish it. This means >bhat these functions must be automatically performed, to be of high est service. : Fire prevention, therefore, for the re moval of causes; fire protection, for the safeguarding of properties - and processed, and' sprinkler equipment to meet the exigencies of the situation if—despite all precautions—fire de velops—these are the elements of the personal responsibility that must he shouldered toy the food handlers of the county. What are YOU going to do about It? LOSS BY FOREST FIRES IN NORTH CAROLINA What shall North Carolina do about the great, loss by forest fires? This is a real live question and . one on whose answer much depends. During the five year period from 1909 to 1913 the average number of fires reported per year in North Carolina was 633. These fires burned each year about 415,000 acres at an average loss of $650,000 and two'lives. The cost each year to private indi viduals of fighting these fires was about $20,000. The losses and costs should be stopped if posible or at least greatly reduced. This can be done by the exercise of ordinary care es pecially at- this season of the year when fires are so likely to get out and spread. The Insurance Commisioner ap peals to all citizens not to start out side fires on windy days or leave them to he fanned into flames or spread by winds rising during, the night. Fire is used too .promiscuously and carelessly for burning new lands be ing opened as well as other lands covered with vegetation. Hunters, teamsters and smokers must exercise more care with their . fires and matches. All cases of careless as well as in tentional starting of fires that dam age lands and forests should be re ported to the Insurance Commissioner so that they may be investigated and, where the evidence justifies it, vigor ous prosecutions instituted. The loss from these causes since 191-3 has been even greater each year.

Click, Hickory, N. C. (Continued from last week.) To the world this country ,was tbe only retag© from priest-riden J, WVJ.VV.UIU, social turmoil. Tbe best people of all nations flocked to this country and soon made it tb.e garden epot of the world. Ib soon became, not odIj the richest nation in tbe world, but its civilization became the envy and example of the world. In it, every man is King of his home, and ev.ery moth ir tbe queen and ministering angel of that home. A. country boasting of its Iree speech and free press. But was it, and ia it to contiDne eot A9 nations become rich and power ful, they become proud and soon become so independent that they “ neither fear God bor regard man ’ Ijet us see what John Bays about it. He says the two horned beast was not only lamb-like, but spake as a dragon. It had the power of the tirst beast. “He causeth all both small and great, rich and poor, free and bound to receive a mark In their right hand, or in their foreheads.’’ without this mark, no one coaid bny and sell— must also have the “ cumber and name.” ThiB indicates the taxing power which, unrestrained, is the most dangerous Dragon in a re public. to which every one must, contribute his pound of flesh, hie tax. It means to sell and buy,' as we now have it. It means that before one can enter the business world with credit, be or his surety must either have“ the mark/” the cash “in his hands” or in. stocks, bbnds'oi: deposited in bank which doubtless means the ‘‘mark in lheir foreheads.” I he two horned beast will have power in politics and government. We begin to see and feel* it. Jtomanism has its eye fixed on this country. It wants to bring it un der its power. Votes, rule here. Komanism controls an emmeuee sufferage, which it uses to further its ends. W ith such, its power is unlimited; for there are so many unscrupulous politicians ? who, while in their country’s pay, labor not for the country’s good, bu.t for their own selfiish ends. They will help any party carry out any scheme, no matter how wicked, if that party will keep them in ol lice. Fot only in politics and govern ment, but John says an image of the old beast will rise np in the church even, and exercise the “power of the old beast.” That is, destroy the local church’s in fluence for good. That image is the almighty dollar.. It is the only thing that bears an image upon it. It means that the church will get to be on a financial, in stead of spiritual basis. Then, such a church will become a social, instead of a spiritual organization, ing a spirit of religions aristo cracy in the church that is fatal to godliness^and true piety. In addition to this, we have spiritualism, free loveism aud . all kinds of isms—labor against capi tal and communism—all assidul- ously spreading their principles a- >uong the masses. This all points to death and destruction. Com mercialism “ gone to seed’’ is the Then the world, tbe flesh and the devil can be wortny members of it. Then sweare.is, card players, dan cers, and Bticti like can become the leaders ia all its social functions— in the singing, reading, praying, and stage acting. Wealth, pride, selliBhr.es, love ol display aud worldiuess, in general, are Iostett- catHe of it.” The love of mooey, School Teachers, This is about the time of year when teachers are being employed for the graded school of the state, Perhaps tbe young lacliea who coo- template entering the school will suffer a word of sage advice from one who has served a good many years on a school committee. Not long since, a leading educator writing to a friend about a certain teacher who bad applied for a posi tion asked these two questions; “ Does she dance? Does she play cards?” Now the writer may not be altogether orthodox on the sub ject of dancing. Ohurchmembeis in high authority do many thing B that are worse; but a school teach er has no business dancing. She must have a decent regard for public sentiment is against dan cing. A teacher compromises her influence, and puts herself in a bad light before the children and their parents who runs around to balls. The facts in the case are that do body who has any serious business to do can spend much time in dan cing. Only late risers and loafers can afford to indulge in this pastime. A school teacher who plays cards is not the proper per son to train youth. Card playing leads to gambling, as has,, often as has often beeu said before, and it is the truth. Bridgespans the chasm between virture and vice. No matter how innocent the game ho school teacher ought ever be seen with cards in her hands. She, ought not to know one card from another. Hero is another suggestion we offer for what it is worth: Every teacher ought to align herself with every movement that fooks to the uplift of the' community in which she labors. Too many teachers staud aloof from the moral and material pro- greBB of the community. Their excuse is that the community will not ask nor awept their help; and they are therefore estopped from taking part in the movement of uplift. W e are going to offer a suggestion here that will solve the problem, and that " will tie the community lite. Join the church where you go. Take part in the Sunday school work, in the mission ary society aud in every clepart: ment of the church work. - We have been told by teachers that having worked hard in the school room all the week they want rest on Sunday. But that change of work is better way to rest than sleeping late. Ifth e teacher will find her soul into the church life, she will find herself tested and re freshed on Monday morning, and in far finer phyBical shape than if she had idled the Lord’s day a- way. But it will do more for her yet. It will bring her friends a- mong the best people in the com munity; it open the way for com munity service; it entrench her in the admiration of all right thinking people, and it will insure her re election at the end of the session. The religious-life is the highest and purest and best. The teacher who enters this higher life shows that she is a woman of character and no school committee ever, wishes to let that kind of woman escape.—Charity and Child reu. . BadIt Tiie Simple Life. It is a time for sacrifice in little things. W e have been living, as a people, on an extravagant scale. We have wasted our food as if never failing supply, though the world is facing another crop shortage* Our Government estimates are por- tentious. The outlook for the wheat harvest is dark. And yet we are expected to furnish moi e wheat this year than last year for Europe. Higher prices confront us. Shall we go on with elabara'e dinners and banquets as if the granaries ot the country were filled to bursting and the cattle ranches overstocked! A season of plainer living and thinking would do us good. Our bodies and minds would be the better for it. The last few years have been a time of physical and intellectual overfeeding.

In our articles, we did not mean to provoke a controversy. We simply tried.to make statements as we saw. heard and remembered them, And along in them, in order to get practical lessons, we tried to apply plain truth, horse sense and cornfield logic as taught in Davie 50 years ago. And_ all along, we were ready and willing^ to correct any statements made, not to com promise truth in history, but to honor history with truth. But af ter reading Bro. Ketchie’s article we are forced to the conclusion that his theology is hot in harmony with the Bible as we read and believe it. 1st. His theology does not recog nize any good in- revivals. Because a few in them, who. by assent of the mind and in a formal way, claim conversion. ;and in six months are living wickedly, he therefore argues that the Holy Ghost and God have nothing to dp: with such meetings, and that all ‘ so-called “good revi vals” are a delusion. His logic is wrong, because it proves. too much and'kicks backwards. Look- at his church, for' instance. They don’t believe in such revivals. They save and take in members by baptism, catechising and confirmation. Now, if any of them, thus converted, in six months do wickedly, as we have seen, then the Holy Ghost and God had nothing to do with it, and the whole thing is a burlesque on ritual ism-according to his logic. 2nd. His theology does not be lieve in conversion of sinners by the Holy Ghost and God. What does convert or regenerate sinners then? Is it the church, and its ordinances? IntTitus. 3:5, we read: "Not by works of righteousness which we haye done, but according to his (God’s) merev he saved us, bv the washing of regeneration and renew ing of the Holy Ghost.” Then lis ten: ‘‘While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which h 6ard the word.” Acts, 10:44. This was in a meeting where all were in earnest. We have been in meetings when the Holy Ghost fell, as it were, on those who were agonizing in prayer. 3rd. His theology does not be lieve in praying for preachers, the Holy Ghost and for the lost. II Thes. 3:1, “Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course and be glori fied even as it is with you.” This was a request that Paul made no less than seven t'mes in his epistles. If it was necessary for Paul to have the prayers of the brethren, certain ly ministers need them now. Luke, 11:13, "How much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit (or Ghost) to them that ask him.” AU sinners are lost. While on the cros3 , Christ prayed for the sinners that were crucifying him, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what thev do ” 4th. His theology does not believe in praying for revivals. In va rious places David prayed for revi vals. That is the only way to get one from God, and that is the only kind worth having. The revival which we call the reformation was born in prayer. Luther’s habit was to pray three hours a day. Pente cost was preceeded by ten days of praying. After Christ1 cast the dev il out of the demoniac, he said: Such as this cometh only by pray er.” We are sorry that any minis ter with an open Bible should deny the necessity of praying in a revival. We need ministers, who like Elijah, can.break up the spiritual drouth by praying rain out of the skies. 5th. His theology doe3 not be lieve heaven is the storm center of God’s grace. Where is it, then? God is in heaven. His ministering angels are there. Christ is there. Theyareallinterestedin the salva tion of the world. “There is joy in heaven over even one sinner that repenteth.” God said once: “I will open the windows of heaven and' pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room to receive it.” Mai. 3:10.. That sounds like a storm center to us. 6th. His theology does not believe God can be entreated to com« and pour out a spiritual stofm that will cause people to cry for mercy. Hi9 theology calls that worshiping neathen gods. Let’s see: “Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. And say ye, save us, O God of our salvation and gath er us together and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to the holy name and glory in thy praise." I Ghr. 16: 11.35. Who are the heathen here? * Did God not hear and pour out a spiritual storm on the day of Penti cost? Diditnotcausethree thous and to cry for mercy and ask wbat we must do to be saved? We give Brother Ketchie credit with being sincere in his views. But sincerity is not always a safe guide. Paul was just as sincere when he was per* Mntingtbediseroles of ChriBt1 as he afterwards.was in preaching the gospel of Christ. Paulwas faithful to his creed. The disciples were praying for - him. God heard them. While in the way, the storm center of God’s grace in heaven was disturbed and.; ,poured out a storm light of conviction upon Paul which caused him to fall upon the earth, as a tnourner’s bench aud pray, and cry'for mercy. For three days he was 'a mourner. God and the Holy Ghost came down , and talked with him. joined in and • pent a preacher to him, and altogether Paul was saved. There Is but one saving power; ilrsaved Paul; it must save us, or we are lost. J. F. CLICK. Couldn't Stand American Hag; A man living on Route I, passed our office one day recently and saw an American flag in Jront of our door. He called us out. told us to stop hra paper—that he never in tended to enter a house where there was an American flag, and that he would not patronize a man who would have a flag on or in his build ing. We had to take down “Old Glory” or loose his subscription. We lost the subscription, and re funded the amount due Him. The old flag still floats in front of our offi.ce. Long inay khe wave, o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. The' flag doesn’t mean that we are filled with a war spirit, but we were taught to reverence our flag at all times and in all places.

In memory I go back to the days of my boyhood wbcn I used to attend church and Sunday-school at old Liberty. I have no recollection of ever missing his face—his greetings were always pleasant and his handshake reaL He was a good citizen, a good neighbor and a friend up on whom you could count in times of need and trouble, His family loss is irre parable, and tbe community loses one of its most dependable citizens. Death is at all times sad, but when it lays its cold hands upon the strong and removes from us our friend, our neighbor, and one among our best citizens, it is doubly sad. Words cannot convey our real sympathy to the widow and her children in this sad hour of their affliction, but we can but hope that which we call death is but the end of all our pains, sufferings, sorrows and disappointments; and the beginning of a better and happier life in that great and unknown beyond. When we, as rational human beings stop„pause long enough to realize how short and uncertain our so journ in this old world is. should it not make us live better lives, "and do all the good we can, in all the ways we can, to as many people as we can,and as long as long as we can?” and in so doing, make this old wortd better for our having liveid in it The world is better for Ches. Dan iels having lived in it. Peace, peace to his ashes, and rest eternal. E.H. MORRIS. Mocksville. N. C., June 17, 1917. P m I : 9 Sg ~ SC 4J - 2» S -jBS <M. V I J it DR. A. Z.

About 12:30 o clock this afternoon, (Tuesday), when most of the peo ple were at dinner, a negro man with a basket on his arm, came down the main street of the town, and stepped into the Merchants’ & Farmers’ Bank. There was no one in the hank except Cashier B. O. Morris. The negro stepped around to the door that opens into the Gashier’s depart ment and asked Mr. Morris to read a letter for him—that he could not read. Mr. Morris took the letter from the negro and turned around to read it.. Just as he turned, the negro hit him a crushing blow across the head with a black jack, knucks or some other metal instrument. Mr. Morris, although badly wounded, grabbed his pistol and ,ran out of the bank after the negro, who rushed across the street between Meroney’s store and the Gaither wooden building on the corner. As the negro got nearly across the road, Mr. Morris fired at him twice, but on account of the weapon missing fire a time or two. and the blood from bis wounds blinding him, both shots missed. The negro ran down by Ward’s shop, .where he dropped his basket, and jumped the fence, going through the colored sect'on near the depot, and thence up the railroad. In five min utes after the shooting, a posse of at least SO armed men were' scouring the woods in search of the bandit. At 2:30, a pair of blood hounds were brought here from Salisbury and put on the negro’s trail, but as we go to press-at 3:30 he is still at large. The negro is a stranger here; is a yel low negro, weighing about 150 with a little mustache,, straw hat, blue shirt and pair of old overalls. No money was taken from the bank. Mr. Morris’ wounds were given medical attention, and it is not thought that they will prove to be serious. AU towns and cities in this section have been notified to. watch for the bandit. A negro, which some think is the bandit, was found in Ghas. Brown’s house, near the depot, in the bed, and was taken in custody by officers and is now undergoing examination in the court house. Brown claims this fel low came over from Winston last night, and had been at his house sick. A physician examined him and said there was nothing wrong with him. ISSlAN PEOPLE WILL FIGHT WITH ALLIES FOR LIBERTY, I FREEDOM AND HAPPINESS OF WORLD. INSIDER WIRIHEVITABLE IND WILL CONTINUE IT And yet, though- silent, it speaks to us,—speaks to us of the past, of the men and women who went before us and of the records they wrote upon it. We celebrate the day of its birth; and from its birth until now it has witnessed a great history, has floated on high the symbol of great events, of a great plan of Mfe worked out by a great people. We are about to carry it into battle to lift ‘it where it will draw the fire of'our enemies. We are about to bid thousands, hun dreds of thousands, it may be mill ions, of our men, th e ' young, the strong, the capable men of the na tion, to go forth and die beneath it on fields of blood far ,away,—for what? For some unaccustomed thing? For something for which it •has never sought the fire before? American armies were never ,before sent across the seas. Why are Oiey sent now? For some new purpose, for which this' great flag has never been carried before, or for some old, familiar,. heroic purpose for which it has seen men, its own men, die on every battlefield upon which Ameri cans have borne arms since . the Revolution? These are questions which must .be answered. We are Americans. We in our turn serve America, and can serve her with no. private purpose. We must use her flag as she has always used it. We are accountable at the bar of history .and must plead in utter frankness what purpose it is we seek to serve. It is plain enough how we were forced into the war. The extraordi nary insults and aggressions of -the Imperial German Government left us no self-respecting choice hut to take up arms in defense of our rights as a free people and of our honor as a sovereign government. The military masters of Germany denied us the right to be neutral. They filled out unsuspecting communities with vicious spies and conspirators and sought to corrupt the opinion of our people in their own behalf. WDien they found that they could not do that, their agents diligently spread sedition amongst us and sought to draw our own citizens from their allegiance,— and some of thoee agents were men connected with the official Embassy of the German Government itself here in our own capital. They sought by violence to destroy our Industries and arrest our commerce. They tried to incite Mexico to take up arms against us and to draw Japan into a hostile alliance with her,—and • that, not by indirection but by direct suggestion from the Foreign Ofllce in Berlin. They impudently denied us the use of the high seas and repeatedly exe cuted their threat that they would send to their death any of our people- who ventured to approach the coasts of Europe. And many of our own people were corrupted. Men began to look upon their own neighbors with suspicion and to wonder, in their hot resentment and surprise whether there was any community In which hostile intrigue did not lurk. W hat great nation in such cirdumstances would not have taken up arms? Much as we had desired peace, it was Me aled us, and not of our own choice. This flag under which w e/erve would have been dishonored had- we with- Beld our hand. But that is only part of the story. We know now as clearly as we knew demands might not arouse Europe, but they meant to press them whether they did or not, for they thought them selves ready for the final issue of arms. Their plan was to throw a broad belt of German military power, and political control across the very centre of Europe and beyond the Mediterran ean into the heart of Asia; and Austria- Hungary was to be as much their tool and pawn as Servia or Bulgaria or Turkey or the ponderous states of the East. Austria-Hungary, indeed, was to become part of the central German Empire, absorbed and domi nated by the same forces and in fluences that Imd originally cemented the German states themselves. The dream had its heart at Berlin. If could have had a heart nowhere else! It rejected the idea of solidarity of race entirely. The choice of peoples played no part in it at all. It con templated binding together racial and, political units which could be kept together only by force,—Czechs, Mag yars, Croats, Serbs, Roumanians; Turks, Armenians,—the proud states of Bohemia and Hungary, the stout little commonwealths'of the Balkans, the indomitable Turks, the subtile^ peoples of the East. These peoples* did.no wish to be united. They ar dently desired to direct their own affairs would be satisfied only by un disputed independence. They eoulf be kept quiet only by the presence or the -constant threat of armed men. They would live under a common power only by sheer compulsion and await the day of revolution. But the German military statesmen had reck oned with all that and were r.eady to deal with it in their own way. And they have actually carried the greater part of that amazing plan into execution! Look how things stand. Austria is at their mercy. It has acted not upon its own initiative or upon the choice of its own people but at Berlin’s dictation ever since the war began. Its people now de sire peace, but cannot 'have it until leave is granted from Berlin. The so-called Central Powers are in fact but a single Power. Servia is at its mercy' should its hands be but for a moment freed. Bulgaria has con sented to Its will and Roumania is overrun. The Turkish armies, which Germans trained, are serving. Ger many, certainly -not themselves, and the- guns-, of German warships lying in the harbor at Constantinople re mind -Turkish statesmen every day immense su-engm me rorces- Oi-Jum*!1*- tiee and of liberalism are gathering out of this war. They are employing liberals In their enterprise. They are using men,' In Germany and without, as their spokesmen whom they have hitherto despised and oppressed, using them for their own destruction,— socialists, the leaders of labor, the thinkers they have hitherto sought' to silence. Let them once succeed and. these men, now their tools, will be ground to powder beneath the Weight 6f the great military empire they , will have: set up; the revolutionists in Russia will be" cut off from all succor or cooperation in western Europe and a counter revolution fostered and sup ported; Germany hersel! will-lose her Ohance of freedom; and all Europe w.ill aTm for the next, the final- struggle. The sinister intrigue is being no less actively conducted • In this country than in Russia and in every country in Europe to which the agents and dupes of the Imperial German Government can get access. That government has many spokesmen here,-'in places-high arid • low. They have learned discre tion. They keep within the law. It is opinion they utter now, not sedition. They proclaim the liberal purposes of •heir masters; declare this a foreign war which can touch America with- no danger to either her . lands or her in- j stitutions; set England at the centre of the stage and talk of her ambition to assert economic dominion through-: out the world; appeal to our ancient tradition of isolation In Ihe- Politics of the' nations; and. seek to underminei the. government with false professions of loyalty to its principles. But they will make no headway. The false betray themselves always in every accent. It is only friends and partisans of the German Government whom we have already identified who utter these thinly disguised disloyal- ties. The facts are patent to all- the world, and nowhere are' they more plainly seen than in the United States, where we are accut tomed to, deal with facts and not witT sophistries; and the great fact that stands out above all the rest is that this is a Peoples’ War, a war for freedom and justice and self-government amongst all the naticns of the world, a war to make the world safe for the peoples who live upon it and have made ifc- their own, the German people themselves -in cluded; and that with Us rests the choice to break through' all these hypocrisies and paten-t cheats and masks of brute force and help set the sh Is Foreign Minister Tereschten- ca’s Ringing Response to America’s Message to Russia, Delivered By Special Ambassador Root, Head of American Commission.

The -presentation was very formal, only a few Russian officials and the mem bers, of the American embassy at tending. M r.Kerensky, the youthful ..minister of war, just back from the front wore the khaki blouse of a com- Trioif1SO-Idlerr- . ;. Tbe ministers listened with rapt attention to Mr. Root’s address. * Mr. Tereschtenko rose from a sick bed. to attend the presentation and responded without notes, expressing great' ;joy in welcoming the commis- gion from America. He said that Rus sia’s revolution was based on the won derful words' uttered by America In 1776. ;: He read part of the Declaration of independence and exclaimed: “Rus sia holds with the United States that all men are created free and equal!” Mr; Tereschtenko said Russia faces two'; problems, the necessity of creat- 1 lug a. strong democratic force within - its boundaries and the fighting of an I external foe. Then he declared for I war arid • expressed unbounded confi dence In the power of Russia to meet the situation. Mr. Root said: “Mr. President and members of the council of ministers:. The mission for whi-ch I -have the honor to speak is charged by the government and peo ple of the United States of America with a message to the government and people of Russia. The mission comes j from a democratic republic.

One Fearful Dapger. “One fearful danger threatens the liberty of both nations. The armed forces of a military autocracy are at the gates of Russia and the allies. Th© triumph of German arms will, mean the death of liberty In Russia. No enemy is at the gates of America, but America has come to realize that the triumph of German arms means the death of liberty in the world; that we who love liberty and would keep it must fight for it, and fight for it now when the free democracies of the world may be strong In union, and not delay until they may be beaten down separately in succession. “See, America sends another mes sage to Russia that we are going to fight and have already begun to fight for your freedom equally with our own, and we ask you to fight for pur freedom equally with yours. We would make your cause ours and our cause yours, and with a common purpose and mutual helpfulness of a firm al- Mance make sure of victory over our common foe. “You wiU recognize your own senti ments and purposes in the worlds of President Wilson to the American Congress, when on the second of April, last, he addressed a declaration of war against Germany.

We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensa tion for the sacrifices we shall freely make. We are. but one of the cham pions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satisfied when those rights have been made as secure as the faith and the freedom of nations can make them.’ “And you wiU see the feeling toward Russia- with which, America has en tered the great war in another clause of the same address. President Wil son further declared: “ ’Does not every American feel that assurance has been added to our hope for the future peace of the world by the wonderful and heartening things that have been happening within the last few weeks in Russia? Russia was known by those who knew her best to have been always in fact democratic at heart In aU the vital habits of her thought in all the intimate relations- ships of her people that spoke their natural instinct their habitual atti tude toward Ufe. “ ’The autocracy that crowned the summit of her political structure, long as it had stood and terrible as was the reality, of its power, was not in fact Russian in origin, character or pur pose, and now it has been shaken off and the great generous Russian people have been added, in all their native majesty and might, to the forces that are fighting for freedom in the world, for justice and for peace.

Washington.—In greeting Belgium’s war mission, President Wilson ex pressed America’s “solemn determina tion that on the inevitable day of vic tory Belgium shall be restored to the place she has so righly won among the self-respecting and respected na tions of the earth.” The commissioners spent their' first day in Washington paying official calls. Secretary Lansing accompanied them to the White House, where Bar on Moncheur, head of the mission, handed to President Wilson a person al letter from King Albert and ex pressed in a short address Belgium’s gratitude for America's aid. “Since the'first days of the greatest tragedy which has ever befallen hu manity,” said the baron, “Belgium has contracted an immense debt of grati tude to the generous American na tion.” In a magnificent outburst of sym pathy for the Mttle country which had chosen to delay a powerful and piti less enepay rather tnan to tarnish its honor or forswear its plighted word, the Initiative of American citizens gave to the unfortunate victims of German cruelty in Belgium the most splendid evidence of generosity. “But the- chivalrous sentiments which animaate the people of the Uni ted States went further than this when President Wilson, giving an admirable example of disinterested power, ut tered the words well fitted to make us tremble with hope and to cause us to fix our eyes confidently upon the starry banner which has become more than ever the symbol of strength placed at the service of the highest and most pure principles. “Yes, Belgium will again take her place among the nations.

Washington, June 14.—President Wilsou delivered a notable speech here in commemoration of Flag Day in which he again outlined the posi* tion of the United States in regard to the world war. The address is in full as follows: My Fellow Citizens: We meet to celebrate Flag Day because Uiis flag which we honor and under which Tve serve is the emblem of our unity, our power, our thought and purpose as a nation. It has no other char acter than that which we give It from generation to generation. The choices are ours. It floats in majestic silence above the hosts that execute those choices, whether in peace or In war. And yet, though silent, it speaks to us,—speaks to us of the past, of the men and women who went before us and of the records they wrote upon' it. We celebrate the day of its birth; and from its birth until now it has witnessed a great history, has floated on high the symbol of great events of a great plan of life worked out by a great people. We are about to carry it into battle to lift 'it where it will draw the fire of'our enemies. TVe are about to bid thousands, hun dreds of thousands, it may be mill ions, of our men, the young, the strong, the capable men of the na tion, to go forth and die beneath it on fields of blood far -away,—for what? For some unaccustomed thing? For something for which it •has never sought the fire before? American armies were never before sent across the seas. Why are they sent now? For some new purpose, for which this' great flag bak never been carried before, or for some old, familiar, heroic purpose for which it has seen men, its own men, die on every battlefield upon which Ameri cans have borne arms since the Revolution? These are questions which must be answered. We are Americans. We in our turn serve America, and can serve her with no private purpose. We must use her flag as she has always used it. We are accountable at the bar of history.and must plead in utter frankness what purpose it is we seek to serve. It is plain enough how we were forced into the war. The extraordi nary insults and aggressions of the Imperial German Government left us no self-respecting choice but to take up arms in defense of our rights as a free people and of our honor as a sovereign government. The military masters of Germany denied us the right to be neutral. They filled our unsuspecting communities with vicious spies and conspirators and sought to corrupt the opinion of our people in their own behalf. Wlhen they found that they could not do that, their agents diligently spread sedition amongst us and sought to draw our own citizens from their allegiance,— and some of those agents were men connected with the official Embassy of the German Government itself here iu our own capital. They sought by violence to destroy our industries and arrest our commerce. They tried to incite Mexico to take up arms against us and to draw Japan into a hostile alliance with her,—and • that, hot by indirection but by direct suggestion from the Foreign Office in Berlin. They impudently denied us the use of the high seas and repeatedly exe cuted their threat that they would send to their death any of our people who ventured to approach the coasts of Europe. ' And many of our own people were corrupted. Men began to look upon their own neighbors with suspicion and to wonder , in their hot resentment and surprise whether there was any community In which hostile intrigue did not lurk. What great nation in such circumstances would not have taken up arms? Much as we had desired peace, it wa-sade- nied us, and not of our own choice. This flag under which we^serve would have been dishonored had we with held our hand. But that is only part of the story. 1Wp know now as clearly as we knew before we were ourselves engaged that they are- not our enemies. They did ■not originate or desire his hideous war or wish that we should be drawn into it; and we are vaguely conscious that we are fighting their, cause, as they will some day see it as well as our own. They are themselves in the grip of the same sinister power that has how at last stretched its ugly talons out and drawn blood from us. The whole world is at war because the whole world is In the grip of that power and is trying out the great battle which shall determine whether it is to be brought under Its mastery or fling itself free. The war was begun by the military masters of Germany, who proved to be also the ffiastrs of Austria-Hun gary. These men have never regard ed nations as peoples, men, women, and children of like blood and frame as themselves, for whom governments existed and in whom governments had their life. They have regarded them merely as serviceable organizations which they could by force or intrigue bend or corrupt to their own pur pose. They have regarded the smaller -states,' in particular, and the peoples who could be overwhelmed by force, as their natural tools and instruments of domination. Thear purpose has long been avowed. The statesmen of other nations, to whom that pur pose was incredible, paid little at tention; regarded what German pro lessors expounded in their classrooms and German writers set forth to. the world as the goal of German policy as rather the dream of minds detach ed from practical affairs; as prepos terous private conceptions of German destiny, than as the actual plans of responsible rulers; but the rulers of Germany themselves knew all the while what concrete plans, what well advanced intrigues lay back of what the professors and the writers were saying, and were glad to go forward unmolested, filling the thrones of Bal kan states with German princes, put ting German officers at the service of Turkey to drill her armies and make interest with her government, developing plans of sedition and re bellion in India and Egypt, setting their* fires in Persia. The demands made by Austria upon Servia were a mere single step in a plan which compassed Europe and Asia, from Berlin to Bagdad. They hoped those demands might not arouse Europe, but they meant to press them whether they did Cr not, for they thought them selves ready for the final issue of arms. Their plan was to throw a broad belt of German military power, and political control across the very centre of Europe and beyond the Mediterran ean into the heart of Asia; and Austria- Hungary was to be as much their tool and pawn as Bervla or Bulgaria or Turkey or the ponderous states of the East. Austria-Hungary, indeed, was to become part of the centra] German Empire, absorbed and domi nated by the same forces and in fluences that had originally cemented the German states themselves. The dream had its heart at Berlin. It' could have had a heart nowhere else! It rejected the idea of solidarity of race entirely. The choice of peoples played no part in it Slt fill. It con templated binding together racial and political units which could be kept together only by force,—-Czechs, Mag yars, Croats, Serbs, Roumanians: Turks, Armenians,—the proud states of Bohemia and Hungary, the stout Htfle commonwealths of the Balkans, the indomitable Turks, the subtile^ peoples of the East. These peoples' did.no wish to be united. They ar dently desired to direct their own affairs would be satisfied only by un disputed independence. They could be kept quiet only by the presence or the constant threat of armed men. They would live under a common power only by sheer compulsion and await the day of revolution. But the German military statesmen had reck oned with all that and were r.eady to deail with it in their own way. And they have actually carried the greater part of that amazing plan into execution! Look how things stand. Austria is at their mercy. It has acted not upon its own initiative or •upon the choice of its own people but at Berlin’s dictation ever since the war began. Its people now de sire peace, but cannot have it until leave is granted from Berlin. The so-called Central Powers are in fact but a single Power. Servia is at its mercy should its hands be but for a moment freed. Bulgaria has con sented to its will and Roumania is overrun,: The Turkish armies, which Germans trained, are serving. Ger many, certainly not themselves, and the- guns. of German warships lying in the harbor at Constantinople re mind -Turkish statesmen every day the whole of Belgium. Its armies press close upon Russia and overrun Poland: at their- - will. It • cannot go further; it dare not go .back. It wishes to close its bargain before It is too late and it has little to offer for the pound of flesh it will demand. The military masters under whom Germany is bleeding see very clearly to what point Fate has brought them. If they fall back or are forced back an inch, their power both abroad and at home will fall to pieces like a house of cards. It is their power at home they are thinking about now more than their power abroad. It is- that ,power which is trembling under their very feet; and deep fear has entered their hearts. They have but one chance to perpetuate their mili tary power or even their controlling political Influence. If they can secure peace now with the immense advan tages still in their hands which they have up to this point apparently gained, they will have justified them selves before the German people: they will have gained by force what they promised to gain by it: an immense expansion of German power, an im mense enlargement of German indus trial and commercial, opportunities. Their prestige will be secure, and with their prestige their political power. If they fail, their people themselves will thrust them aside," a government ac countable to the people themselves will be set up in Germany as it has been in England, in the United States, in France, and in all the great coun tries of the modem time except Ger many. If they succeed they are safe andGermany and the world are undone; if they fail Germany is saved and the world will be at peace. If they suc ceed, America will fall within the men ace. We ?nd all the rest of the world must remain armed, as they will re main, and must make ready for the next step in their aggression; if they fail, the- world may unite for peace and Germany may be of the union. Do you not now understand the, new intrigue, the intrigue for peace, and why the masters of Germany do not hesitate to use any agency that' prom ises to effect their purpose, the deceit of the nations? Their present partic ular aim is to deceive all those who throughout the . world stand for the . rights of peoples and the self govern- j ment'of nations; for they see what : unmen-se strength the forces of jus- . tice and of liberalism are gathering out of this war. They are employing liberals in their enterprise. They are using men, in Germany and without, as their spokesmen whom they have hitherto despised and oppressed, using them for their own destruction,— socialists, the leaders of labor, the thinkers they have hitherto sought' to silence. Let them once succeed and tiiese men, now their tools, will be D U D ID DEW RUSSIAN PEOPLE WILL FIGHT WITH ALLIES FOR LIBERTY; FREEDOM AND HAPPINESS OF WORLD.

Petrograd, via London.—“The Rus sian people consider war inevitable and will -continue it. The Russians have no imperialistic wishes. We know that you have none. We shall fight to gether to secure liberty, freedom end happiness for all the world. I am happy to say that I do not see any moral idea, or factor between Amer ica and Russia to divide us. We two people, Russia fighting tyranny, and America standing as Ihe oldest democracy, hand in hand, will show the way of happiness to nations great and small.” These ringing words, expressing the •'attitude of the Russian, government toward American and the Ameritan mission headed by Elihu Root, were voiced by M_ Tereschtenko, minister of foreign affairs, responding for the council of ministers to Mr. Root’s ad dress of sympathy and good will on the part of the American government. The American ambassador, David Francis, presented the Root mission to the ministers in the Marinsky palace, explaining lIhat the members-of the mission had come to Russia to dis cover how America can best co-oper ate with its- ally in forwarding the fight against the common enemy. The presentation was very formal, only a few llussian officials and the mem bers, of the American embassy at tending.

He said that Rus sia’s revolution was based on the won derful words uttered by America In 1776.-'He read part of the Declaration of Independence and exclaimed: “Rus sia MtlS With the United States that all mCn are created free and equal!” Mr. Tereschtenko saifl Russia faces two problems, the necessity of creat ing a. strong democratic force within its boundaries and the fighting of an I pIons o£ the rights o{ mankind. have: set up; the revolutionists, in Russia will be cut off from all succor or co-operation in western Europe and a: counter revolution fostered and sup- oorted; Germany herselt willlose her chance of freedom; and all Europe will arm for the next, the final struggle’ • The sinister intrigue is being no less actively conducted - In this country than in Russia and In every country in Europe to which the agents and dupes of the Imperial German Government can get access. That government has many spokesmen here, In places-high arid low. They have learned discre tion. They keep within the law. It is opinion they utter now, not sedition. They proclaim the liberal purposes of heir masters; declare this a foreign war which can touch America with- no danger to either her lands or her in stitutions; set England at the centre if the stage and talk of her ambition to assert economic dominion through-: out the world; appeal to our ancient rradition of isolation In the politics of the nations; and seek to undermine the. government with false professions of loyalty to its principles. But they will make no headway. The false betray themselves always in every accent. It is only friends and partisans of the German Government whom we have already identified who utter these thinly disguised disloyal ties. The facts are patent to all- the world, and nowhere are they more plainly seen than in the United States, where we are accus tomed to deal with facts and not witi sophistries; and the great fact that stands out above all the rest is that this is a Peoples’ War, a war for freedom and justice and self-government amongst all the nations of the world, a war to make the world safe for the peoples who live upon it and have made it- their own, the German people themselves • in cluded; and that with us rests the choice to break through all these hypocrisies and patent cheats and external foe. Then he declared for war arid • expressed unbounded confi dence in the power of Russia to meet the situation. Mr. Root said: “Mr President and members of the council of ministers:. The mission for which I -have the honor to apeak is charged by the government and peo ple of the United States of America with a message to the government and press that feeling. ; “The American democracy sends to the democracy of Russia a greeting of sympathy, friendship brotherhood, God-speed. Distant America knows little of the special conditions of Rus- sion life which must give form to the government and laws which you are aibout to create .As we have devel oped our institutions to' serve the needs of our national character and -life, eo we assume that you will de velop your institutions to serve the needs of Russian character and life. “As we look across the sea, we dis tinguish no party, no Mass. We see great Russia os' a whole, as one mighty, striving, aspiring democracy. We know the self-control, essential kindliness, strong comnuori sense, cour age and noble idealism of the Russian character. "We have' faith in you all. We pray for God’s blessing upon you all: We believe you will solve your problems, that you will maintain your liberty, and that our two great nations will march side by side; in triumphant progress.of democracy until the old order everywhere has passed away and the world is free. One Fearful Danger. “One fearful danger threatens the liberty of both nations. The armed forces of a military autocracy are at the gates of Russia and the allies. The triumph of German arms will. mean the death of liberty in Russia. No enemy is at the gates of America, but America has come to realize that the triumph of German arms means the death of liberty in the world; that we who love liberty and would keep it must fight for it, and fight for it now when the free democracies of the world may be strong In union, and not delay until they may be beaten down separately in succession. “See, America sends another mes sage to Russia that we are going to fight, and have already begun to light, for your freedom equally with our own, and we ask you to fight for qur freedom equally with yours. We would make your cause ours and our cause yours, and with a common purpose and mutual helpfulness of a firm al liance make sure of victory over our common foe. "You will recognize your own senti ments and purposes In the worlds of President Wilson to the American Congress, when on the second of April, last, he addressed a declaration of war against Germany. He said: “ ‘We are accepting this challenge of hostile purpose because we know that in such a government (the German government) following such methods, we can never have a friend; and that in the presence of its organized power, always lying in wait to accomplish we know not what purpose, there can be no assured security for the democratic governments of the world. We are now about to accept the gauge of bat tle with this natural foe to liberty, and shall, if necessary, spend the whole force of the nation to check and nullify its pretensions and its power. “Safe For Democracy.” “ The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be plant ed upon the tested foundations of pli- tical liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensa tion for the sacrifices we shall freely make. We are. but one of the cham- We PLEDGES RESTORATION OF BEL- BIUM TO PLACE SHE.

NUMEROUS THREATS MADE Acute Problem For New Ministry.— One Faction Diemands Peace at Any Pricel-Howeverl a Soiutlon Might Be Found By New Premier. Paris.—Some light is now thrown on the present situation in Spain, which has been the cause of misgiv ings recently, by a special correspon dent of The Petit Parisien who has been making aa investigation there. He wires the following summary of the situation which made the position of the late cabinet untenable and pre sents an acute problem for the new ministry: First • of all, the situation in Cata lonia (a district of about 1,200 square miles in the northeast of Spain, with a population of nearly 2,000,000 , whose capital is Barcelona) is critical. The inhabitants are aroused against the Spanish government and are agitating insistently for complete independence. One faction openly declares in a Bar celona newspaper that it will obey no law not passed by the Catalonians for Catalonians, and demands independ ence at any price. Aside from this local situation, the correspondent finds that the economic stato of affairs in general demands speedy action by the cabinet. Strikes are imminent, especially in Asturias (an important district In northwestern Spain on the Bay of Biscay). Strikes are under discussion by all railroad employes and most of the industrial workers. The supply of coal is so scanty that it is almost impossible to operate the trains. Stagnation of the export trade, owing to the submarine warfare, is resulting in growing irritation. Finally, there is the external situation, which everywhere is recognized as grave for Spain, and which, the correspondent says, is made infinitely more trouble some by German espionage, German intimidation and the Germanophilo press, which has wounded and antago nized Spanish pride. Notwithstanding these, difficulties, the correspondent wires, Spain be lieves confidently the new premier will be able to find a solution. PRESIDENT WARNS AGAINST NEW GERMAN INTRIGUE FOR PEACE- SINISTER PUNS DISCLOSED Missio n from Belgium IS NOW IN WASHINGTON Come to Express Gratitude for What America Has Done, Washington.—Belgium's diplomatic mission came to Washington to ex press its gratitude for all that the Uni ted States has done in the past to re lieve the suffering of its people and to discuss with American officials the reparation that is -to be demanded of Germany for her violated faith at the beginning of the war, and internation al crimes which have followed it. The representa/tivs of King Albert, •who has clung tenaciously for nearly three years to the last free fringe of his country, were received with all the .Courtes1Ies and probably with deep er emotions than the official missions of the greater nations who preceded them. Secretary Lansing, Counsellor Polk and Assistant Secretary Phillips of the state department greeted them at the station, after which, escorted by two companies of cavalry, they motor ed to the homeof Larz Anderson, form er minister to Belgium, which is to be their headquarters. Baron Ludovic Moncheur, chief of the political bureau of the Belgiian foreign office and for eight years min ister to this country, is the head of the mission. It is understood he ex pects to confine his efforts in the United States largely to the ultimate peace questions rather than to imme diafe war heeds.. In the latter, he will find his wishes already met, for the United States shortly after its en trance into the war, took over the en tire cost of the relief in Belgium. Bach month the treasury department advances $7,500,000 for this purpose. EXORBITANT PRICE WILL NOT BE PAID Washington.—Suggestions that the country’s steel mills will hold for a price of $95 per ton for steel that goes into the great fleet of merchant vessels to be built by the government, drew from Chairman Denman of .the ship ping board the statement that a price that high would not be paid. "I shall sign no contracts at that figure,” said Mr. Denman. “The price is absurd when the. navy is getting steel at $30 a ton less." CHINESE PRESIDENT. IS MERE FIGUREHEAD Peking.—Gen. Ohang Hsnn now is dictator. President U- Tuan Hung be ing little more than a figurehead The insurgents are calling a convention at Tien Tsin for the purpose of forming a provisional government- headed by th dictator as president; Gen, Ohahg Hsunh motives are boseure but it is believed he is attempting to obtain from the Manchu dynaBty an- agree ment for sestonation of the empire. In Flag Day Address at Capitol Wll- y son Tells Why Our Flag is Being Sent Cross the Waters to Face the Fire. Washington.—America's reasons for sending her flag against the fire of the enemy across the sea and the pur pose she seeks, were stated anew by. President Wilson in a flag day address beneath the Washington monument. Germany’s military masters denied the United States the right to be neutral, the President said, and by extraordin ary insults and aggressions ’left us no self-respecting choice but to take up arms in defense of our rights as a free people and of our honor as a sov ereign government.” Now that America has been forced to War, declared the President, she bids her young men go forth to fight on fields of blood far away for the same old familiar, heroic purpose for which it has seen its men die on every battlefield upon which Americans have borne arms sincje the revolution— democracy. A sinister power, he said, which has the German people them selves in its grip, “now at last has stretched forth its ugly talons and drawn blood from us.” “The whole world is at war,” he added, “because the whole world is in the grip of that power and is try ing out the great battle which shall determine whether it is to be brought under its mastery or fling itself free.’ New Intrigues for Peace. In giving warning that the Germans actually have carried into execution their plan to throw a broad belt of military power across the center of Europe and into the heart of Asia, rejecting the idea of solidarity of races and the choices of peoples, Mr. Wilson spoke of the “new intrigue for peace” now appearing In many guises at the behest of the Berlin government. “It cannot go fartheV; it dares not go back,” he said-.; ‘“It wishes to close its bargain before it is'too late, and it has little left to offer for the pound of flesh it will demand." “Peace, peace ,peace, has been the talk of her foreign office for now a year or more,” said the President “A little of the talk has been public, but most of it has been private. Through all sorts of channels it has come to me and In all sorts of guises. The military masters under whom Ger many is bleeding see very clearly to what point fate has brought them. If they can secure peace now with the immense advantages still in their hands which they have up to this point apparently gained, they will have justified themselves before the German people; they will have gained by force what they promised to gain by it.” The President'reiterated again the German aggressions which drove the United States to war. He declared the purposes for which American sol diers now carry the stars and stripes to Europe for the first time In history are not new to Ameriman traditions because realization of German’s war alms must eventually mean the un doing of the whole world. Em MEET RRSI DEFEAT ARMED AMERICAN STEAMER IS SUNK AFTER RUNNING FIGHT WITH SUBMARINE. ONLY FOUR LIVES ARE LOST Hundreds of Shots Fired Before Steamer Goes Down,—Survivors Re scued From Life Boats.—Treated With Marked Consideration By Ger mans. • ' Washington.—American naval gun ners have met their first defeat in open fight with a German submarine. Official dispatches announced the de struction of the tank steamship Moreni, abandoned ablaze June 12 by her crew and armed guard after a desperate running fight in the war zone, which cost the lives of four of her crew. Half an hour after the tanker had been sent to the bottom, her forty- three survivors, including all of the members of the armed guard, were ! picked up with their life boats by a passing steamer. The u^rman com mander had set them adrift after con gratulating the American skipper up on his game fight and having the wounded men treated by the submar ine’s surgeon. The submarine began the action at a range of 8,000 yards, four nautical miles, when she hardly was visible to the steamer without glasses. Present ing virtually no target herself, she sent two hundred shells at the btg tanker, making many hits, while the American gunners wasted 150 shots without harming the speck froth which the deadly hail came. Naval officers assumed that the sub marine was armed with the six-inch rifles mounted by most of the newest undersea boats. No statement was available as to the armament of the Moreni. The failure of the gunners I to get the submarine was attributed generally to the long range and small target I The action of the submarine com- : mander in treating his vanquished op ponents with such unexpected cour tesy was the subject of much com ment Germany has proclaimed her intention to treat British armed mer chant crews as pirates. LIBERTY LOAN OVERSUBSCRIBED MANY MILLION OF DOLLARS. JAPAN TO 8END MISSION TO THE UNITED STATE8. Will Have Broad Diplomatic Powers. Washington.—Japan will send a.mis- siono to the United States. The mis sion will have broad powers especial ly in diplomatic consultation, and is expected to leave Japan during the first part of July. The mission is regarded as offering an unparalleled opportunity for a closer understanding between the United States and Japan through a full discussion of the many complex questions of the unsettled far east. The change through the eradication of German influence and the neces sary curtailing of British, French and Russian power, creating a new com munity of interest between the Unit ed States, Japan and China, will' be gone into fully. Viscount Kikujiro Ishii will head the Japanese mission. He formerly was minister of foreign affairs! Vice Ad miral Takeshita, who is well known in the United States, heads the naval section of the mission. ■ The army section is - headed by Maj. Gen. Su- gano. BRISTOL INUDATED BY CREEK’S OVERFLOW. Bristol, Tenn.-Va.—Damage to the extent of over $150,000 was done to Bristol and immediate vicinity, When Indian creek, following a cloudburst about seven miles north of here, over flowed its banks, inudatlng the princi pal business district, hut had receded considerably late In the evening, Many .poor people living along the banks of Indian, creek, ordinarily a small stream, had to flee for safety; losing all their household effects. ' Washington.—The American peo ple have responded to the govern ment’s call for funds to finance ■ the war with an over-subscription to the $2,000,000,000 liberty loan of propor tions so huge that officials are burled beneath a landslide of untabulated re turns. It was 'overwhelming beyond the most sanguine hopes of treasury offi cials, though not one of the twelve federal reserve banks, reginal head quarters of the loan, could hazard more than, an estimate of its total. In the country’s answer to the call, the dominant note was' the voice of the small investor. His money talked the last day of the campaign In elo quent terms. The hope for a wide spread response of the average man with the average income was more than realized in the multitudes that flocked to the banks. It appeared that all previous estimates had gone by the boards, and that nearly 3,000,000 •men and women have bought their bonds. In the absence of official figures, officials hestiated to predict how high the total would soar. It mounted every hour to new heights and assum ed such proportions that there was an apparent inclination to accept with some allonwances the rosy estimates of local liberty loan committees as to their totalB of their districts. At the treasury, a note of conserva tism was sounded concerning these es timates. It was feared that the com mittees, hushed with success, might be over-optimistic, and there was a manifest unwillingness to accept as final any estimates unverified by actual tabulations. GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE OVER MERCHANT SHIPPING Washington.—The vast amount of steel merchant shipping under con struction in American yards, probably 2,000,000 tons, will be taken over im- mediatey by the government under power granted in al provision of the war budget bill signed by President Wilson. The annuoncement was made at a conference of the country’s steel ship builders with the shipping board and its emergency fleet corporation. INCREASE IN STRENGTH OF NATIONAL GUARD Washington.—An increase of 316 Officers and 13,976 enlisted men in the national guard not in the federal ser vice is shown' In the latest reports to the militia bureau of the war depart ment. On May 31 the strength of the national guard was 4,462 officers and 108,631 men, while on June 10 a total of 4,778 officers and 122,607 men had been reported with the states oit Arkansas, New Tork and Texas still to tes heard from. •' EW HAS SURVEY OF CONVICTS MADE AND ON RESULTS FOUND FREES ELEVEN. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark' the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. Governor Bickett smashed the par doning precedent when, following de tailed survey of convicts in the state prison, he pardoned eleven men, ten of them serving varying terms for murder and one of-them at life term er. Thepdrdonsweregrantedonhis own initiative, without petition, or argument of attorneys. Governor Bick- ett simply carried out a conviction he has felt deeply since his administra tion began, that the pardoning power should not be exercised solely for the men in prison who have money, friends or influence without to urge their way to freedom.' “Soon after I came into office,” ex plained Governor BicketL ‘‘I was con vinced that there were men and wom en in the state prison who ought not to be there; that their relatives and friends’, if they had any, had complete ly forgotten them, and, being without money and without influence, ,fhey were kept in prison simply because no human being had any interest in their release'. As a result of this convic tion, some weeks ago I directed the prison authorities to make a complete survey of the prison, showing the fol lowing facts in regard to each and every'prisoner, to-wit: The crime for which he was committed, the term of his sentence, the time he has served, his behavior while a prisoner, his age and his physical condition. A partial report has been made and upon that report I am today granting pardons absolute, or conditional. I am abso lutely convinced that the further con finement of these men is not required for their own good nor for the protec tion of the public.” Omitting the sentence of the life termer as uncertain, the ten others pardoned had been sentenced to an ag gregate of 224 years. Sven of the eleven were negroes and four were white men. Of the IoL Princh Jerni- gan of Hertford county is probably the most unique figure. Prince was con victed of murder in 1897 and sentenc ed to thirty years. He has 1,193 days to credit for good behavior and his age is uncertain, being variously estimat ed at from 60 to 90 years. The super visor stated to Governor Bickett that he would trust him anywhere. Commission Has Knotty Problems. The state building commission, which has in hand the supervision of the expenditure of the three million dollars the next five years for perma nent improvements at Die various state institutions, is moving slow in Jts work trying to make sure it, is right before definite and fixed plans tor any of the more important build ing operations are launched. The commission now recessed is, casting about In search of the best general plan upon which to proceed. TOere is an especially knotty prob lem as to the building for the state school for the blind, In which is in volved the erection of a complete new system of. buildings. Indications are that the outcome of the investiga tion will bring about the adoption of a system that will provide the central kitchen and dining room system. Numbers of the plans that have been submitted for buildings by the trustees of various institutions, includ ing the University of North Carolina, State Normal, Bast Carolina Training ,school, have been submitted to the state department of insurance tor se curity as to fire protection and gen eral safety appliances.I New Corporations Chartered.' manufacture and sale of machinery. The Lewis Motor company, of Salis bury, was chartered with $50,000 cap ital authorized and $3,500 subscrib ed for a general automobile agency and garage business by S. P. Lewis, P. S. Carlton and others. Another charter is tor the Charlotte Truck and Tractor company, of Char lotte, capital $50,000 authorized and $3,000 subscribed by John B. Ross, G. E. Dennis and B. A. Hawkins for hand ling trucks, tractors and automobiles. The Lenoir Hosiery Mills, incorpor ated, of Lenoir,'’ received a charter with $50;000 capital authorized -and $6,000 subscribed by F. D. Moore, J. Claude Moore and Joe C. Moore, for knitting and general textile business. Some Rules For Shippers. At the. request of the American Railway association the corporation commission issues an appeal to North Carolina shippers' to be A b careful as possible to! load all care consigned to them to as near their full capacity as possible to load all .cars' consigned to unloading cars so that they may be in as nearly; constant freight moving service as possible during these times of great freight congestion with equip? ment of-the railroads far overtaxed. The commission declaries it is the •“patriotic duty” of shippers. Development of Canning.. > Reports to Mrs. Jane S. MbKammon, head of the Home Demonstration work In the'state, and the State Food Con servation Comirdssion indicate that In many sections of the srtate there has been a spontaneous development of community canning. The movement is especially well organized at Wil mington, In Gaston county, at Ashe ville end Raleigh. . The instance a t: Wilmington proba bly shows best the possibilities of this movement. In that city canning clubs have been organized among church so cieties and high school girls tor the purpose of saving the surplus of per ishable vegetables and fruits from the gardens of the City and truck farms oit New Hanover county. Members of ■the boy scouts and other boys of work ing age have been mobilized to assist' in the garden work and the harvesting of the vegetables on the farms, which, in many' instances, are purchased in the . field and harvested by the bbys and taken by them to the various can ning clubs in the city. These canning clubs are taking contracts from house wives of the city to fill their empty jars with vegetables and fruits; They are also using thousands of cans which will be sold on the general market later. •* The movement as carried out in Wilmington serves several purposes; thousands of dollars worth of vege tables and fruits which would other wise be lost to the consumer is being saved; the women of the churches and the high school girls are rendering an invaluable patriotic service and inci- dently are earning money for religious and charitable causes; and thousands of fruit jars which would have remain ed on pantry shelves are being util ized in the saving of food stuffs the volume of which will have some effect in easing up the general food situa tion. In some places community canning outfits have been established for the benefit of housewives who desire to can their surplus vegetables but have not the facilities at home tor so do ing. Both plans serve a very useful purpose, and the movement will no doubt spread rapidly until the house wives of practically every city and town in the state will be able either to put up their own surplus fruits and reasonable cost by some canning club. Interested In Forming Market. Oonsiderable interest is being mani fested throughout the state in the movement started by the North Caro lina Food Conservation Commission; looking toward the establishment of adequate and fair markets for staple food and feed products, according to reports reaching the office of the com mission. Many of the leading business men of the state, In addition to the. farmers themselves, are beginning to realize that fair markets are a necessary ba sis for any prosperity that, is built upon the production of crops other than cotton and tobacco. In a number of cities the Chambers of commerce or boards of trade have already begun working upon this problems of mar kets, while in other places business men are interesting themselves indi vidually. “No line of business offers better op portunities tor good profits today, in my opinion, than does the handling of corn, small grain and other farm pro ducts,” declared John Paul Lucas, executive secretary of the North Caro lina Food Conservation Commission. “Our business men must realize, how ever, that fair prices are the first es sential of such markets as are need ed, and that any market which bids tor permanent success must offer fair prices. Suitable' warehouses and equipment tor handling and' storing products are other essentials.” Orders to Arrest Slackers. Governor T. W. Bickett ordered sheriffs of the various counties of the state to arrest every person whose duty it was to register under'the selec tive draft plan and who failed to do It. Men thus arrested will be released up on their own recognizance, if they promptly register. Governor’s Order. The-War-Department orders the ar rest of every man whose duty it was to register and failed to do iti. Please make a searching investigation In every precinct in your county, and if a single man failed to register accord ing to law, report the same to the nearest United States Attorney or Marshal, and the deliquent will be ar rested at once. North Carolina regis tered more-men than the government estimated it would, according to our population. This fine fact makes it all the more important to require' ail de linquents to be registered. 'WJien ninety-nine men voluntarily do their duty, it is the essence of justice to the ninety-nine to compel the hun dredth man to do his. The quota from North Carolina will be based on the Original estimate of the -government, and not on our actual registration. Therefore every additional man regis tered reduces the proportion of the whole that will be first selected for service. T. W. BICKETT, Governor. Young Pleased With VisiL Commissioner of Insurance James R. Young says he was gratified with the results of his. visit to Charlotte In the interest ,of safer school houses, finding the school committee especial ly willing to oo-ooerate in every way^ possible. The. committee, he says, not only agreed readily to adopt the double tower- outside stairway system tor all new school buildings to he erected, but also determined to remod el all the present buildings ‘ to make them conform to this recognized safety first” system of flre escapee. th4‘l\4 OLD N O R IH Sllj Brief Notes Covering This States That Are of u > A" people.

On Misery creek Sally Miller finds George Lescott, a landscape painter, unconscious. Sptcer South, head of the fam ily. tells Samson South and Sally that Jesse Purvy has been shot and that Samson ts suspected of the crime. Samson denies it. The shooting of Jesse Purvy breaks the truce in the Hollman-South feud. Samson reproves Tamarack Spicer for telling Sally that Jiirf Hollman is hunting with bloodhounds the man who shot Purvy. The bloodhounds lose the trail at Spicer South’s door. Lescott discovers artistic ability in Samson. While sketching with Lescott on tbe mountain. Tamarack discovers Samson to a Jeering crowd of mountaineers. Samson thrashes him and denounces him as the “truce- buster” who shot Purvy. Lescott tries to persuade Samson to go to New York with iiim and develop his talent Sally, loyal but heartbroken, furthers Lescott’s ef forts. At Wile McCager’s dance Samson tells the South clan that he is going to leave the mountains. CHAPTER VII—Continued. Lescott stayed on a week after that simply in deference to Samson’s insist ence. To leave at once might savor of flight under fire, but when the week was out the painter turned his horse’s head toward town, and his train swept him back to the Bluegraes and the East. A quiet of unbroken and deadly routine settled down on Misery. The conduct of the Souths in keeping hands off, and acknowledging the justice of Tamarack Spicer’s jail sentence, had been their answer to the declaration of the Hollmans in letting Samson ride into and out of Hixon. The truce was established. When, a short time later, Tamarack left the country to become a railroad brakeman, Jesse Purvy passed the word that hie men must, until further orders, desist from vio lence. The word had crept about that Samson, too, was going away, and, if this were true,. Jesse felt that his fu ture would be more secure than his past. Purvy believed Samson guilty, despite the exoneration of the hoimds. Lescott had sent a box of books, and Samson had taken a team over to Hixon, and brought them back. He devoured them all from titl9 page to finis line, and many of them he went back to, and digested again. He wrestled long and gently with his uncle, struggling to win the old man’s consent to his departure. But Spicer South’s brain was no longer plastic. What had been good enough for the past was good enough for the future. Nevertheless, he arranged af fairs 60 that, his nephew should be able to meet financal needs, and to go where he chose in a fashion befitting a South. November came in bleakly, with a raw and devastating breath of fatality. The smile died from horizon to hori zon, and for days cold rains beat and lashed the forests. And, toward the end of the month, came the day which Samson had set for his departure. At the threshold, with the saddle bags over his left forearm and the rifle in his hand, he paused. His uncle stood at his elbow and the' boy put out his hand. “Good-by, Unc’ Spicer,” was all he said. The old man, who had been his second father, shook hands. His face, too, was expressionless, but - he feit that he was saying farewell to a sol dier of genius who was abandoning the field. And he loved the boy with all the centered power of an isolated heart. A half-mile along the road, Samson halted and dismounted. There, in a small cove, surrounded by a tangle of briers and blackberry bushes, stood a small and dilapidated "meeting house” and churchyard, which he must visit. He made his way through the rough undergrowth to the unkempt half-acre, and halted before the leaning head stones which marked two graves. With a sudden emotion, he ewept the back of his hand across his eyes. He did not remove his hat, but he stood in the drizzle of cold rain for a moment of silence, and then he said: “Pap, I bain’t fergot. I don’t want ye ter think thet I’ve fergot.” Before he arrived at the Widow Mil ler’s, the rain had stopped and the clouds had broken. Sally opened the door, and smiled. She had spent the day nerving herself for this farewell, and at least until the moment of leave-taking she would be 6afe from tears. The Widow Mil ler and her son soon left them alone, and the boy and girl sat before the blazing logs. For a time, an awkward silence fell between them. At last, the boy rose, and went over to the corner where he had placed his gun. He took it.up and laid it on the hearth between them. “Sally,” he said, "I wants ter tell ye some things thet I hain’t never said ter nobody elBe. In the fust place, I wants ye ter keep this hyar gun fer me." The girl’s eyes widened with sur prise. “Hain’t ye a-goin’ ter take hit with ye, Samson?” , “He shook his head. “I hain’t a-goln’ -ter need hit down below. Nobody don’t use Iem down ^lar- -IjY* SOt my pistol, an’ I reckon thet will be enough." - “PU take good keer of hit,” she promised. The boy took out of his pockets a box of cartridges and a small package tied in a greasy rag. “Hit’s loaded, Sally, an’ hit’s cleaned an hit’s greased. Hit’e ready fer use.” Again, she nodded in silent assent, and the boy began speaking in a slow, careful voice, which gradually mount* ed into tense emotion. “Sally, thet thar gun was my pap’s. When he lay a-dyin’, he gave hit ter me, an’ he gave me a job ter do with hit. When I was a little feller, I used ter set up ’most all day, polishin’ thet gun an’ gittin’ hit ready. I used ter go out in the woods, an’ practice shoot- in’ hit at things, tell I learned how ter handle hit. I reckon thar hain’t many fellers round here thet kin beat me now.” He paused, and the girl hastened to corroborate. “Thar hain’t none, Samson." “There hain’t nothin’ in the world, Sally, thet I prizes like I does thet gun. Hit’s got a job ter do. . . . Thar hain’t but one person in the world I’d trust hit with. Thet’s you. . . . I wants ye ter keep hit fer me, an’ ter keep hit ready. . . . They thinks round hyar I’m quittin’, but I hain’t. I’m cornin’ back, an’, when I comes, I’ll need this hyar thing—an’ I’ll need hit bad.” He took up the rifle, and ran his hand caressingly along its lock and barrel. "I don’t know when I’m a-comin’,” he said, slowly, “but, when I calls fer this, I’m shore a-goin’ ter need hit quick. I wants hit ter be ready fer me, day er night. Maybe, nobody won’t know I’m hyar. . . . Maybe, I won’t want nobody ter know. . , . But, when I whistles out thar like a whippoorwill, I wants ye ter slip out—an’ fotch me thet gun!” He stopped, and bent forward. His face was tense, and hie eyes were glint ing with purpose. His lips were tight set and fanatical. "Samson,” said the girl, reaching out and taking the weapon from his hands, “ef I’m alive when ye comes, I’ll do hit. I promise ye. An’,” she added, “ef I hain’t alive, hit’ll be standin’ thar in thet corner. I’ll grease hit, an’ keep hit loaded, an’ when ye calls, I’ll- fotch hit out thar to ye.” The youth nodded. “I mout come any time, but likely as not I’ll hev ter come a-fightin’ when I comes.” Next, he produced an envelope. "This here is a letter I’ve done writ ter myself,” he explained.' He drew out the sheet, and read: "Samson, come back." Then he handed the missive to the girl. “Thet there is addressed ter me, in care of Mr. Lescott. . . . Ef anything hap pens—ef Unc’ Spicer needs me—I "When I Whistles Like a Whippoor will, Fetch Me That Gun.” wants yer ter mail thet ter me quick. He says as how he won’t never call me back, but, Sally, I wants thet you shall sen'd fer me, ef they needs me. I hain’t a-goin’ ter write no letters home. Unc’ Spicer can’t read, an’ you can’t read much either. But I’ll plumb shore be thinkin’ about ye day an’ night.” She gulped and nodded. "Yes, Samson,” was all she'said. The boy rose.“I reckon I’d better be gettin’ along,” he announced. The girl suddenly reached out both hands, and seized his coat. She held him tight, and rose, facing him. Her upturned face grew very pallid, and her eyes widened. They were dry, and her lips were tightly closed, but, through the tearless pupils, in the fire light, the boy could read her soul, and her soul was sobbing.He drew her toward him, and held her very tight "Sally,” he said, in a voice which threatened to choke, "I wants ye ter take keer of yeself. Ye hain’t like these other gals round here. - Ye hain’t got big hands an’ feet. Ye kain’t stand es much es they ldn. Don’t stay out in the night air too much—an', Sally— fer God’s sake take keer of yeself!” He broke off, and picked up his hat “An’ that gun, Sally,” he repeated at the door, “that there's the most pre cious thing Tve got I loves hit better then anything—take keer of hit.” Again, she caught at his shoulders. "Does ye love hit betterfn ye do me, Samson?” she demanded. He hesitated. "I reckon ye knows how much I loves ye,‘Sally,” he said, slowly, "hut I’ve done made a promise, an’ thet gun’s a-goin’ ter Keep Mt fer me.” They went together out to the stile, he still carrying his rifle, as though loath to let it go, and she crossed with him to the road. . • • As he untied his reins, she threw her arms about his neck, and for a long while they stood there under the cl.ouds and stars, as he held her close. There was no eloquence of leave-tak ing, no professions of undying love, for these two hearts were inarticulate and dizzy clinging, to a wilderness code of self-repression—and they had reached a point where speech would have swept them both away to a break down. CHAPTER VIII. The boy from Misery rode slowly to ward Hixon. At times the moon strug gled out and made the shadows black along the way. At other times it was like riding in a huge caldron of pitch. When he passed into that stretch of country at whose heart Jesse Purvy dwelt he raised his voice in song. His singing was very had, and the ballad lacked tune, but it served its purpose of saving him from the suspicion of furtiveness. Though the front of the house was black, behind its heavy shut ters he knew that his coming might be noted, and night-riding at this par ticular spot might be misconstrued in the absene’e of frank warning. The correctness of his inference brought a brief smile to his lips when he crossed the creek that skirted the orchard and heard a stable door creak softly behind him. He was to be fol lowed again—and watched, but he did not look back or pause to listen for the hoofbeats of his unsolicited escort. On the soft mud of the road he would hardly have heard them had he bent his ear and drawn rein. He rode at a walk, for his train would not leave un til five o’clock in the morning. There was tftne In plenty. It was cold and depressing as he trudged the empty streets- from the livery stable to the railroad station, carrying his saddlebags over his arm. At last he heard the whistle and saw the blazing headlight, and a minute later he had pushed his way into the smok ing car and dropped his saddlebags on the seat beside him. Then, for the first time, he saw and recognized his watchers.- Purvy meant to have Sam son shadowed as far as Lexington, and his movements from that point defi nitely reported. Jim Asberry and Aaron Hollis were the chosen spies. He did not speak to the two enemies who took seats across the car, but his face hardened, and his brows came together in a black scowl. "When I gits back,” he promised himself, “you’ll be one of ‘the fust folks I’ll look fer, Jim Asberry, damn ye! All I hopes is thet nobody else don’t git ye fust. Ye b’longs ter me.' The sleeping car to which he was assigned after leaving Lexington was almost empty, but he. felt upon him the interested gaze of those few eyes that were turned toward his entrance. He engaged every pair with a pair very clear and steady and undropping, un til somehow each lip that had started to twist in amusement straightened, and the twinkle that rose at first glance sobered at second. Yet, for all his specious seeming of unconcern, Samson was waking to the fact that he was a scarecrow, and his sensitive pride made him cut his meals short in the dining car, where he was kept busy beating down inquisitive eyes with his defiant gaze. He resolved after some thought upon a definite pol icy. It was a very old policy, but to him new—and a discovery. He would change nothing in himself that- in volved a surrender of code or convic tion. But, wherever it could be done with honor, he would concede to cus tom. It was late In the second afternoon when he stepped from the train at Jer sey City, to be engulfed In an un imagined roar and congestion. Here it was impossible to hold his own against the unconcealed laughter of the many, and he stood for an instant glaring about like a caged tiger, while three currents of humanity separated and flowed toward the three ferry exits. Then he saw the smiling face of Lescott, and Lescott’s extended hand. Even Lescott, immaculately garbed and fur-coated, seemed almost a stranger, and the boy’s feeling of intimacy froze to inward constraint and diffidence. But Lescott knew nothing of that. The stoic in Samson held true, mask ing his emotions. “So you came,” said the New Yorker, heartily, grasping the boy’s hand. “Where’s your luggage? We’ll just pick that up and make a dash for the terry.” “Hyar hit is,” replied Samson, who still carried his saddlebags. The painter’s eyes twinkled, but the mirth was so frank and friendly that the boy, instead of glaring in defiance, grinned responsively. "Right, oh!” laughed Lescott. ‘‘I thought maybe you’d bring a trunk, but itis the wise man who travels light.”He followed. Lescott out to the fodit of Twenty-third street, and stepped with him into the tonneau of the painter’s waiting car. Lescott lived with his family uptown, for it hap pened that, had his canvases pos sessed no value whatever, he would still have been in a position to drive his motor and follow his impulses about the world. If he did not take the boy to his home,, it was because he understood that a life which tnust he not only full of early embarrass ment, but positively revolutionary, should be approached by easy stages. Consequently the car turned down Fifth avenue, passed under the arch and. drew up. before a door just off Washington square, where the land scape painter had a studio suit. There were sleeping rooms and such acces sories as seemed to the boy unheard-of luxury, though LeBcott regarded the place as a makeshift annex to his home establishment. “You’d better take your time in se lecting permanent quarters," was his careless fashion of explaining to Sam son. “It’s just as well not to hurry. You are to stay here with me, as long as you will.” “I’m obleeged ter ye,” replied the boy, to whose training In open-doored hospitality the invitation seemed only natural. The evening meal was brought in from a neighboring hotel, and the two men dined before an open fire, Samson eating in mountain si lence, while his host chatted and asked questions. “Samson,” suggested the painter, when the dinner things had been car ried out and they were alone, “you are here for two purposes: First, to study painting; second, to educate and equip yourself for coming conditions. It’s going to take work, more work, and then some more work.” “I hain’t skeered of work.” “I believe that. Also, you must keep out of trouble. You’ve got to ride your fighting instinct with a .strong curb.” “I don’t ’low to let nobody run over me.” The statement was not argu mentative; only an announcement of a principle which was not subject to modification. “All right, but until you learn the ropes let me advise you.” The boy gazed Into the fire for a few moments of silence. “I gives ye my hand on thet,” he promised. At eleven o’clock the painter, having shown his guest over the premises, said good-night and went uptown to his own house. Samson lay a long while awake, with many disquieting reflections. Meanwhile Lescott, letting himself into a house overlooking the' park, was hailed by a chorus of voices from the dining room. He turned and went In to join a gay group just back from the opera. As he thoughtfully mixed himself a highball, they bombarded him with questions. “Why didn’t you bring your bar barian with you?” demanded a dark eyed girl, who looked very much as Lescott himself might have looked had he been a girl—and very young and lovely. Now she flashed on him an af fectionate smile, and added: “We have been waiting to see him. Must we go to bed disappointed?” George stood looking down on them, and tinkled the ice in his glass. "He wasn’t brought on for purposes of exhibition, Drennie,” ho smiled, was afraid if he came in here in the fashion of his arrival—carrying his saddlebags—you ultracivilized folk might have laughed.” A roar of laughter at the picture vindicated Lescott’s assumption. ‘!No! Now, actually with saddle bags?” echoed a young fellow with a likable face which was for the mo ment incredulously amused. "That goes Dick Whittington one better. You do make some rare discoveries, George. We celebrate you.” “Thanks, Horton,” ‘commented the painter, dryly. “When you New York ers have learned what these barbari ans already know, the control of your oversensitized risibles and a courtesy deeper than your shirt-fronts—maybe I’ll let you have a look. Meantime I’m much too fond of all of you to risk letting you laugh at my barbarian.”* * e . * * * . * Several months were spent laboring with charcoal and paper over plaster casts in Lescott’s studio, and Lescott himself played instructor. When the skylight darkened with the coming of evening, the boy whose mountain na ture cried out for exercise went for long tramps that carried him over many miles of city pavements, and after that, when the gas was lit, he turned, still insatiably hungry, to volumes of history, and algebra, and facts.* # * * * * * A sloop-rigged boat with a crew of two was dancing before a brisk breeze through blue Bermuda water. Off to the right Hamilton rose sheer and colorful from the bay. At the tiller sat the white-clad- figure of Adrienne Lescott. Puffs of wind that whipped the tautly bellying sheets lashed her dark hair about her face. Her lips, Mvidly red like poppy petals, were just now curved into an amused smile, which made them even more than or dinarily kissable and tantalizing. Her companion was neglecting his nominal duty of tending the sheet to watch her. “Wilfred,” she teased, "your con trast is quite startling—and. in a way, effective. From head to foot you are spotless white—but your scowl is ab solutely ‘the blackest black that our eyes endure.’ And,” she added, in an injured voice, “I’m sure I’ve been very nice to you.”- “I have not yet begun to scowl,” he assured her, and proceeded to show what superlatives of saturnine expres sion he held in reserve. “See here, Drennie, I know perfectly well that I’m a sheer imbecile to reveal the fact that you’ve made me mad. It pleases you too perfectly. It makes you hap pier than is good for you, but—” “It’s a terrible thing to make me happy, isn’t it?” she inquired, sweetly. “Drennie, you have held me off since we were children, I believe I first an nounced my intention of marrying you when you were twelve. That intention remains unaltered. More: It is unal terable and inevitable. My reasons for wanting to needn’t be rehearsed. It would take too long. I regard you as possessed, of an alert and remark able mind—one worthy of companion ship with my own.” Despite the friv olous badinage of his words and the humorous smile of his lips, his eyes hinted at an . underlying intensity. “With no desire to flatter or spoil you, I find your personal aspect pleasing enough to satisfy me. And then, while a man should avoid emotionalism, I am in love with you.” He moved over to a place in the Bternsheets, and his face became intensely earnest. He dropped‘his hand over hers as it lay on the tiller shaft. “God knows, dear,” he exclaimed, “how much I love you!” Her eyes, after holding his for a mo ment, fell to the hand which still im prisoned her own. She shook her head, not In anger, but with a man ner of gentle denial, until be released her fingers and stepped back. “You are a dear, Wilfred,” she com forted, “and I couldn’t manage to get on without you, but you aren’t mar riageable—at least, not yet.” “Why not?” he asked. “In the first place, you are one of those men whose fortunes are listed in the top schedule—the swollen for tunes. Socialists would put you in the predatory class.” "Drennie,” he groaned, “it’s not my fault that I’m rich. It wds wished on me. If you are serious, I’m willing to become poor as Job’s turkey. Show me the way to strip myself, and I’ll stand shortly before you begging aim.” ‘ “To what end?” she questioned. “Poverty would be quite inconvenient. I shouldn’t care for it. But hasn’t it ever occurred to you that the man who wears the strongest and brightest mail, and who by his own confession is possessed of an alert brain, ought occasionally to be seen in tbe lists?” “In short, your charge is that I am a shirker—and, since it’s the same thing, a coward?" Adrienne did not at once answer him, but she straightened out for an uninterrupted run before the wind, and by the tiny moss-green fiecks, which moments of great seriousness “You Are a Dear, Wilfred?” brought to the depths of her eyes, he knew that she meant to speak the un veiled truth. "Besides-your own holdings in a lot of railways and things, you handle your mother’s and sisters’ property, don’t you?” He nodded. “In a fashion, I do. I sign the neces sary papers when the lawyers call me up and ask me to come downtown.” “You are a director in the Metropole Trust company?” “Guilty.” “In the Consolidated Seacoast ?” "I believe so." ' "With your friends, who are also shareholders, you could assume con trol of the Morning Intelligence, couldn't you?” “I guess I could assume control, but what would I do with it?” “Do you know the reputation of that newspaper?” “I guess it’s all right. It’s conserva tive an|I newsy. I read It every morn ing when I’m in town. It fits in very nicely between the grapefruit and the bacon and eggs.” “It is, also, powerful,” she added, “and is said to be absolutely servile to corporate interests.” “Drennie, you talk like an anarchist You are rich yourself, you know.” “And against each of those other concerns various 'charges have been made.”“Well, what do want me to do?” "It’s not what I want you to do,” she informed me; “it’s what I’d like to see you want to do.”"Name it!. I’ll want to do it forth with.”"I think when you are one of a hand ful of the richest men In New York; when, for instance, you could dictate the poUcy of a great newspaper, yet know it only as the course that follows your grapefruit, you are a shirker and a drone, and are not playing the game.” Her hand tightened on the tiller. “I think if I were a man riding on to the polo field I’d either try like the devil to drive the ball down be tween the posts, or I’d come inside and take off my boots and colors. I wouldn’t hover in a ladylike futility around the edge of the scrimmage.” ' She knew that to Horton, who played polo like a fiend incarnate, the figure woul'd be effective, and she whipped out her words with something very close to scorn. “There’s my hand on it, Drennie,” he said. “We start back to New York tomorrow, don’t we? Well, when I get there I put- on overalls and go . to work. When ,I propose next I’ll have something to show."(TO BE CONTINUED.) . uDoaiisSavedNyLifew ctI Had Given Dp Hope” Says Mr. Dent, “But Doan’s IQdney Pills Cured He Permanently.” “My kidney trouble began with backache, which ran on about a year,” says W.

ARSENICAL SPRAY TO CONTROL PLUM PEST Spraying with arsenate of lead with a soap spreader and sticker proved most effective, in tests conducted by the Ohio experiment station, to con trol the plum curculio, a beetle that attacks plums, cherries, applies and other fruits, causing them to fall off or to be gnarled, wormy and worthless for market. Two or three pounds of arsenate of lead paste is mixed with 2-3-50 bor- deaux and two pounds of soft soap and applied just after the plums or cherries have bloomed, then again in about two weeks, and If necessary in the latter part, of July to destroy young beetles emerging from the ground at that time. The bordeaux mixture, added to control rots, is made by dissolving two pounds of cop per sulphate (blue vitriol) in hot wa ter, adding this solution to the milk of lime obtained by slaking three pounds of quicklime, and then dilut ing the mixture of these materials with water to make 50 gallons. Where these sprays were applied at the-times indicated curculio beetles were com pletely checked in a single season, and so little injury occurred the next year that only one spraying after bloom was necessary. This insect, which is generally dis tributed throughout eastern United States, emerges from winter quarters and begins feeding on young fruit and leaves in April and May, much de pending upon weather conditions. Eggs are laid In a hole cut in the young fruit. These punctures -alone lead to deformed, unsalable fruit, and the larva feeding within causes fur ther injury. Often the largest part of the crop of fruit falls because of such attacks, and the insect afterward leaves the fruit and completes its life cycle In the ground. Gathering and destroying fallen fruit and cultivating the” orchard fre quently in July and early August have also proved helpful methods of keep ing the pest In check. t V ' ' X '7' K LKE N M H E ON UQ I Guarantee “Dodson’s Liver Tone” Will Give You the Best Uvef and Bowel Cleansing You Ever Had—Doesn’t Make You Sicki Stop using calomel!

I said to the old Scotch man one day: “ Glorious view! Glorious view, eli?’ “ ‘Yes, Mr. Warburton,’ said he. ‘It’s what you might call a very fine panama.’ ” BOYS AT WORK THINNING PLUM CROP. GROWING OF FRUIT TREES OUTLINED Good Foundation Needed on Which to Build Upper and Most Important Part. The growing of a productive fruit tree Is not so different from build ing a house. Each must have a good foundation on which to build the up per and most important part of the structure. The framework or scaf fold (the lower limbs of the fruit tree) should be Well placed, so as not to form crotches, and with most va rieties not over seven scaffold branches should be left. When form ing the scaffold or foundation for the top of the tree, remember to keep the branches balanced. And remember to make provision for a good top, which produces the profit to the fruit grower. After planning the future top of the young tree, prune often rather than too heavily at one-time. By following this plan but very few large limbs will have to be cut at any one time. When pruning bearing trees, al ways remove all diseased and all bruised, broken- and badly crossing limbs. Never leave a stub where a limb Is removed, but make the cut as close to the trunk or large limb as possible. When the top becomes too dense, thinning can sometimes best be done by removing one or more of the scaf fold limbs. As a rule all top pruning should be done by removing small branches rather than large branches. Ever keep in mind that a well-bal anced tree is the most productive tree. When pruning in winter, always re member it will be to the advantage of the tree to summer-prune in part, rath er than to overprune in winter. SUPPLY OF MEAT SS OF BIG IMPORTANCE Farmer Should Make Live Stock Production Patriotic Service as Well as Duty. The present scarcity of meat pro ducing animals, together with the gravity of the war situation and the consequent problem of the nation’s food supply, make live stock produc tion an enterprise of great financial opportunity as well as a patriotic serv ice and duty. A state of war exists between this country and Germany at this time, and it is well for the nation to realize that the results of the war may be de pendent ’upon the supply of food which is available for our arriiies and our population. Ihe meat supply is a mat ter which must be given careful con sideration. Greatest results may be realized on ly by careful attention and hard work. Capital will »'ay some part in this matter, but every man’s results will depend to a great extent upon the care and judgment with which his op erations are conducted, rather than upon his banker. E. A. Trowbridge, professor of ani mal husbandly in the Missouri Col lege of Agriculture, outlines briefly the steps which the farmer himself can take in replenishing and increasing the meat supply. (I) Saving the young animals at birth. (2) Mating all the females that give reasonable evidence of being able to produce young successfully. (3) Mating females with only the best males. (4) Increasing the amount of feed, especially roughness, by Improv ing pastures, and by saving other roughness which is frequently wasted. (5) Utilizing roughness and saving grain to the greatest possible extent in meat production. (6) The elimina tion and curing of disease wherever possible. With the Fingers! [ SaysC ornsL iftO ut I W ithout Any Pain j Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn can shortly be lifted right out with the fingers if you will apply on the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati authority. At little cost one can get a small bot tle of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid one’s feet of every com or callus without pain or sore ness or the danger of infection. This new drug is an ether compound, and dries the moment it is applied and does not inflame or even irritate the surrounding skin. Just think! You can lift off your corns and calluses now without a bit of pain or soreness. If your druggist hasn’t freezone he can easily get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house.—adv. Soldiers of One Army. “Are not all true men that live, or that ever lived, soldiers of the same army, enlisted under heaven’s captain cy, to do battle against the same ene my, the empire of darkness and wrong? Why should we misknow one another, fight not against the enemy, but against ourselves, from mere difference of uni form? AU uniforms shall be good, so they hold in them true, valiant men.”— Carlyle. PREVENT CLUB ROOT TN RAISING CABBAGE Difficulty Can Be Overcome by Treating Soil With Mixture of Lime and Salt. - Those who have had great difficulty in growing cabbage on account of the presence of club root will find that lime and salt properly used will help them grow fine, healthy cabbage free from this disease. Take a peck of lime and a quart of salt and mix well together, and then when making the small excavation for the cabbage plant place a handful of the lime and salt mixture In the cavity and stir well to mis it with tlie soil in which you are planting the cabbage. Another way is to remove a quart or two of soil at the point where the cabbage is to be planted, and mis the earth with about a fourth of a pint of the lime and salt mixture. Then place the earth back, set out the cab bage plant and water freely. A little of the lime and salt misture scattered over the soil for a distance of a few inches above each plant may aid some what in preventing the trouble.

To whom does it belong—this money I have inherited, this salary I am earning, this house I am building, these savings I have in the bank? Where they God’s—those billion, billion nickels that were drowned in drink last year while his world lay groaning in darkness? Wasit God's coin that built those mountains of candy and volcanoes of smoke and piled those pleasant palaces of pleasure while his world was ignorant and cold an hungry and wicked? Was it God's money that was frittered and flut tered and flaunted and danced and whistled into eternity while his kingdom waited? If it was, shall we not meet his record some day when the books are opened? Whose is it anyway, mine or God’s? There is not a profounder question for Christian men and women to settle.

Alfred Fleming, Fire MaralMl of Ohio.) ! These are war times; he who con serves and protects the food supply oow is a patriot, just as much as the man behind the gun. On the food supply of America depends the suc cess or failure of the Titanic conflict that has torn the earth asunder. The day’s march of an army is proportion ed to the food supply of that day and the day before. Are You Doing Your Duty7 It Is the duty of the elevator man, the warehouse man, the cereal manu facturer, and all others engaged in the production of raw material and fofahftd ,production—'who are "doing their Mt" at home—to safeguard the gracious ‘ foodstuffs, to Tproteet the factories, the mills, the elevators and the storehouses.Have you safeguarded your business bo that not one grain of wheat, not. one kernel of com, not one yard of bandage shall be carelessly and need lessly sacrificed? Speeding Up, Spells Caution. War time measures, and the de mand for finished products, means the speeding up of all industries; the employment of new men and the over working of machinery. The speed ing up process means that buildings built to stand the strain of normal work are being charged with double and triple loads. The consequence is that walls sag, floors cease to be level, and new flre hazards are created. The sonveyor belts smoke with increasing loads, shafting gets out of alignment. TJiiS results In friction; friction begets heat; .heat is the parent of fire; fire qreans-, misery, money loss, delay! Tjf Examine Your Water Supply. T^There have been cases where the water mains supplying huge indus trial .plants with their means of fight- Iflg fire have been half filled with mud, Tthus reducing the supply and decreasing the velocity of the remain der. of the stream. Have you tested your pressure? ! Is it all right . " Often expensive chemical extin guishers (their outsides polished like mirrors) have not been tested since Installation, and. the nozzles are cor roded. How about your plant? The ordinary 2 % gallon chemical fire ex tinguisher is equal, In efficiency, to several barrels of water. They must fief recharged once every 12 months, and lfithere is any doubt at* this time asfto this having meen done,' recharge them . at oner, and put the date of the recharging on a tag.attached to the fixtiiigUisher. ''-StaUdplpes and hose equipment should Tfie tested and the nozzles ex amined, to see that there Is an un obstructed passage from water sup ply to exit from nozzle.* See further, that the way to and about the hose ■!nest” is unobstructed and the equip ment -cleared for action on every flpor. , f What About Flre Bueketet •“Water -barrels and fire buckets are often sadly neglected. The former are' half filled, full of scum, cinders . and sediment, and the signs pointing to them are lost ;or out of place. A flre bucket should never be uB«d for any purpose other than to carry water to a .fire, and it should always be re turned to its* place. The buckets should be of the round-bottom type, painted red, and marked "for fire only.” • ,Stock should not be piled in'front of windows, ■ for the fire department may have to work there; nor in a stairways; n»r on the way to fire escapes. Elevator shafts are flues through which fire may find its origin and roar from floor to floor. Keep shafts clean and safeguard the base ment, which is the last stop. Remove all inflammable debrie from the out- of-the-way corners. Remember, ,too, that certain kinds of dust are as ex plosive as black powder. Beware of Strangers! Doorkeepers and night watchmen grg necessary at this time. Don't permit persons unknown to superin tendent or employes to wander about at will. It Is dangerous. Follow the advice of the federal and state in spectors and of the representatives of fire insurance companies, for they not only have your interest at heart but ' they are of the flying corps that pro tect the “Stomach Ammunition,” the clothing and—thousands of women and girls employed In the assembling and packing of foodstuffs of America. Organize Against Fire. See that the “No Smoking” sign is obeyed. Matches should not be toler ated In your plant. Electric torches are cheap, safe, efficient. Every man who is engaged In any business of vital interest to the coun try should see to it that his employes are organized into a fire-flghting unit, with a definite assignment of duty for every man on every floor. There should be a detail to see that the wo men and girls are taken from the building in safety. The man who is at the nozzle should be coached how to apply the water. In many cases more damage is done by untrained use of the stream than by the fire itself. To wet wheat, cereal, and the like, is as bad as to scorch them. To The Flre Box. On all exit doors have a sign, plain and in large letters, “This way to nearest fire box.” Fight your fire un til the department arrives, and then surrender the fire to the skilled men. Questions For You to Answer. Is your water supply clear of ob struction and adequate? Are your fire barrels and buckets In place, with the barrels filled? •Do you and your employes know where the nearest fire box Is, and how to turn in an alarm? Is your force of employes organ ized and drilled to handle the-plant’s fire-fighting equipment? Whose -business is -it to clear the buildings of women and girls? Do you permit strangers to wander about your buildings unattended? Have you a nlgh-t watchman? Are your chemical extinguishers in spected and operative? How about your standptpe and hose equipment; the nozzles; the immedi ate efficiency of all? Are your -elevator shafts clear of debris; your windows free of obstruc tion? Are your stairways and areas clear? Is the way to the fire escape jmob srtruoted ? Have you metal containers for re-; fuse from shop and -factory, and are they emptied each day? . . FOREST RUES IE T PEOPLE SHOULD ORGANIZE TO PREVENT RUTHLESS DESTRUC TION OF PROPERTY. BIG FIRES HARD TO SUBDUE Farmers In One Rural District Have Prevented Serious Losses by Organizing. The following extract from the Mill Springs correspondent of the Polk ' county News and Tryon Bee again calls attention to the constant menace to life and the enormous damage to property incident to forest fires: “A destructive fire has been raging on White Oak Mountain for several days. Our people should organize themselves in different ways to pre vent such ruthless destruction of our forests by ignorant and evil minded persons. Owing to -the strong winds ait this -time of the year, it is very difficult to subdue such fires when once they get started.” In a -recent issue of Farm and Fire side a story appears telling of the organization of a farmers fire league which was organized by a California community and has proved a valuable asset- to farmers and property owners -In hitherto much menaced locality. It was at Oakdale, a rural district in California, which was in the midst of a well timbered section where the ecenery was very attractive and was a favorite -place for campers during -the pleasant weather. One fall after an unusual amount of destruction had been wrought by fires the Farmers’ Fire League was organized.. A social was given, which every one attended^ and the first funds for the society were raised. Axes, long -handled rakes and hoes and other implements were •procured, and distributed at the vari ous small shacks bun? as lire fighting stations In convenient places. On a high hill they established a “lookout” and the simplest of telephone systems, also a comprehensive, code of signals. At the first appearance of fire notice was given all along the line and league members from far and near rallied at the danger points. When necessary day and night brigades were formed. The successful work of the league Interested others’ and it has -grown continuously since the autumn of 1912 when it was formed and losses by fire since that time have been exceedingly small In the district covered and there Is a feeling of security which former ly was absent Better Farming in the South TO USE FERTILIZERS MOST PROFITABLY - Fertilizers Supply , One or More Plant Foods Without Which tkCrops Will Not Be Profitable.

One can- notidraw money from a bank unless Wends there. Neither can the plant draw upon the soil and get the necessary food elements if the soil does -not contain them. -Elan For Good Yields Every Year" Every farmer should adopt for his land a system of farming that will give him good yields continually year Zear' ibis is done, he must Iqed the plants; for plants, like ani mals, must feed to grow. While plants require some ten or more element* for their growth, all, except three, aye supplied in abundance in most spiis. The three elements not supplied abundantly are nitrogen, phosphorus and potash. AU these are generally deficient in most southern soils, and, therefore, have to he supplied In some commercial form to get profltatble yields. For >a farmer to get the largest acre returns from his investment..in fer- MsfflfeJt i is ? necessary, fopfhimt-to «B*w|something of the conditions un iter which fertilizers may be used most effectively. He naturally asks: “Un-1 der what conditions will fertilizers prove most profitable?" Fertilizers are used primarily to sup- P'y ®ne ov more plant foods without which crop, will not be profitable. But there are conditions other than plant foods that may Influence growth. It is very necessaiy that good growing conditions be provided for the plant so that the fertilizer used may enable' the plant to grow most vigorously, and, therefore, bring about the biggest yields. Vigorous Seed _ The fundamental, good growing conditions making possible the most efficient use of plant foods, are good seed, a good seed bed and good cultivation. AU planting, seed must have -strong vitality to germinate and grow rapidly. Seed should also be of a variety adapted to local conditions. Time and rate of planting must be given attention, for either'one of these may very materially effect the yielii of the crop. Good Seed Bed Conditions required In the soil for best plant growth, and biggest acre returns from fertilisers used, are a good, well prepared, finely .pulverized seed bed. It should be mellow and firm, so as to enable the roots to penetrate freely and deeply in search of food and moisture, and to allow sufficient circulation of air. It should be well drained. Jt should be well supplied with orgamic matter, which aids in absorbing an.d holding moisture and improves the structure and tilth of the soiL Good cidltural methods must be employed so as ■ to destroy weeds and retain soil moisture._ If the preceding conditions are satisfactory for plant growth, then, and not till then, are crops iable to make the most efficient use ofi plant foods • within their reach.

In the effort to discourage the emigration of negroes from the South which is reported to have assumed such proportions that Ii is difficult in some localities to se cure sufficient negro labor for farm work and other local needs, the management of the Southern rail way system has adopted the polic\ oi taking no action to accomodate this travel in the future. Orders have been issued to discontinue, effective at once, the assembling, holding and using of extra passen gerand t aggage cars for laborer movements and otherwise to dis couiage the negro exodus from the South in every legitimate manner.

I’m a saint!” “Because I have done forgive the Germans for eveiy thing they have done.” ‘‘Because I have three head of children.” “Because I have an adopted mother” “Because I’m a garbage collec tor and'defender of health.” Because of business reasons.” Replying to the question, ‘ ‘Have yoa had any military experience?” one man replied, -Yes. as a bell boy.” Among the answers to the ques tion as to whether the eligible men had dependent relatives', were these: “Mother-in-law,” “god mother,” ‘ adopted mother,” “fiance,” “ twelve under twelve.” The frea,k answers included one in which a man said he was not a natural born citizen, his birth place being in Mississippi. A- nother replied he iras born in a Pnllman car. A colored minister, answering the question, “I’m a preacher, and God is my boss.” Asked for the date of his birth, one man said. “May 30, the year of the Johnstown Hood.

There is one point in connection with the movemont for the pro duction of an increased supply of food that has not yet* had the at tention it deserves, in our opinion, and that is the opportunties offered" in the raising of hogs. N.orth Caro lina is behind quite a number of other states in this particular, and there is no good reason why that should be. ThenumbersOf hogs in propotion to population is much less chan it should be, for we have facilities for hog production that justify tnuch greater activity ,along that line. The meat problem in this country was assuming serious proportions before the war. Naturallyitis be coming more acute every day. One- of the easiest and quickest wavs to aid in solving it is to raise hogs. The pig clubs and other agencies are doing much stimulate interest in in that matter in this state but there is still too. little attention to it.— Winston Sentinel. Barrel-Grown Potatoes. I have a letter from a gentleman at Pine Bluff, JN. C., asking for de tails of the barrel potato-growing stant referred tj in this depart-: ment recently, sayiug he is anxious to try it out. On "Wednesday I was at Chester, S. O., and iu conversation with A. A. Lloyd, secretary of the Cham tier of Commerce. I learned, there are two methods.of growing Irish potatoes by this means. Each re- puiresagood, strong barrel, with rich earth, plenty of lertilizer and lots ot water. Mr. Lloyd's plan is to bore two-inch holes, in the bar rel to allow .surplus water to escape, and also to furnish needed air lor taberd to WinakeJl’ Then place-*a- layer of earth iu.the bottom of the barrel, about a foot deep, and in this eiaglepotato,' uncut, is plant ed. As the .vine or plant from this potato grows, tbe scheme is to con tinue adding earth, and giving the whole plenty , of water, applj inn tbe fertilizer with each succeeding addition of I earth. Finally,/says Mr. Lloyd, the plant will, teach the top of the barrel, after, which no further at tention is neccesary aside from ap plying water. .. When the vines die, which they will do when the potatoes have completed making, the barrel is allowed to stand for two weeks, after it is knocked to pieces, and trooi one to two and a half bushels are found enclosed* This bounds pretty good, and Lloyd says it ■worked last.year and hundreds of b/irrels are being used in this way ill CheBter this Sum mer.—Juniorj Observer in Charl- lotte Observer.

Married Men May Not Be Draft- * ed At First ;■ The single men will be the first selected for the draft army and that married men will be free from in- ital draft, appears tcf be certain ac cording to dispatches from Washing ton during the past few days. While no offical statement to this effect has been made by the war department, it;is believed that this policy will be followed by the administration. This does not mean, however, that married men are to be exempted as a class, but individuals. - If the time should come, however, when more men are needed than can be supplied from the lists o,f single men, then. it is believed that married men will be called upon to help fill the ranks of the great army. That the married men will not be exempted as a class, is due perhaps! to the fact that hundreds and even thousands of'them on last Tuesday stdted on their registration cards that they did not claim exemption on the grounds that they were mar ried. ■ The appointment of the exemp tion boards for this state will doubt less be made by T.

A circus came to a little Ken England town an Irishman' turned up early in the day asking if he could not. get a job helping to pitch the tents or feeding the animals, for price of admission to the circus.

A BIG TRIAL IN MOCKSVILLE. Sam Waugh And Charlie Brown Put Under Bonds of $5,000 Each— - Both Are in Jail. - One ol the biggest trials ever held in MocksviDe1 came off before Esq. V. E. Swaim last Wednesday afternoon when Sam Waugh, of WinBton-Salem1 and Charlie Brown of McckBville1 both colored, were tried for criminal assault, attempt ed robbery, conspiracy, etc., in connection with the attempted rob bery of the Mercnants’ & Farmers’ Bank, of this town, which occurred on Tuesday about noon. Waugh, the negro who was found upstairs in bed at Charlie Brown’s house shortly after the attempted rob bery, was tried first. ’ Sam had no lawyer, and plead guilty of asBault- iDg Ca6bier Morris. The State was represented by Attorneys Gaither and Grant, and about 20 witnesses were put on the stand. Waugh did not have any witnesses. After hiB trial Charlie Brown waB ar raigned. His attorney, Mr. Wil- son, of Winston-Salem, did not put any witnesses on the stand. At torneys Gaither and Grant prose cuted. After the conclusion of the evidence, ’Squire Swgim deci ded that the evidence against both the prisoners was sufficiently strong to bind them over to court, and he fixed their bonds at $5,000 each. Tom Estes, a Winston negro, who runB an auto for hire,- is also nn der indictment lor being connected with the crime, and his trial will' take place tomorrow at 2 o’clock. He is in jail here, having failed to furnish a $3,000 bond. During the preliminary trial Wednesday the new court house was packed with spectators, many ladies being present, together with citizens from a number of surrounding towns. There seems to be do question as to the guilt ot the prisoners. A large crowd will uo doubt be here tomorrow to hear the trial of Tom Estes. Following is part of' the evidence as’ brought out duriDg acd before the trial: Waugh and Brown left Winston- Salem Monday night at 9:30 in Estes’ car. driven by himself, for Mocksville, Watighwas seen at Brown’s house Tuesday before the attempted robbery occurred. Es tes ieturned to Winston early on luesday morning, but returned-to Mocksville Tuesday evening, and was arrested about 9 o'clock that uight at the telephone office. A short time before the attempt to rob the bauk occurred, Waugh was seeu to walk past the bank dressed in overalls, a rush hat and carrying a basket. When Waugh entered the bank, Cashier Morris was sitting at a desk. As told in an extra issued by The Record last Tuesday, Mr. Morris started to read a paper that Waugh handed him, when he was struck over the head three times. Mr. Morris jumped up and grab bed his pistol, and alter reaching the sidewalk, fired twice at the negro, but his eyes being filled with blood, missed him. The ne gro ran down towaid the depot, across back lots, and three wit nesses swore they saw him eiitef Brown’s house. Some children ran and told Charlie Brown, who was near his cafe, that a strange man had gone in his house. Brown denied this, but a seaich of the house was made and a man was found in an upstaire room in the bed undtesBed. He told the par ties who found him that he was a sick man and bad not been out of bed that day, and that no one had entered the house. Doctor Rod- well was called and examined the negro and found nothing wrong with him. Sheriff Wipecoff then arrested the negro aud carried him to jail. Charlie BrOwu was also arrested aud locked up. : Iu the meantime information had lieeu receivettefey the. police depart meut at Winston, that Waugh bad borrowed a jiafr.ot overalls and a 38-calibre Smith & Wesson'pistol before he left for Mocksville 'Mon day night. Oiithestreugthofthis iuformatiou,?: Chief Thouiasf and CaptaiurEarly came to Mocksville Wednesday afternoon, and ’arrived , - while officers were searching ( har- lie Brown’s house for the overalls, eto. In view of the information about the, borrowing of the articles the search was renewed and before long it was discovered that a plank had been sawed iD two on the floor of the second story ot the house, about, three feet from the stairway, making a sort of a slidiug door. This was removed by. Carl Harbin and the basket, pistol, blackjack, hat, overalisand shoes were found It is supposed that the blackjack was the weapon used on Mr. Mor ris at the bank; The colored citizens of Mocka- ville are to be highly commended for the staud they took on the side of law and order.

PROHIBITION AMENDMENT Forbids Making Use of Foodstuffs in Intoxicants,—Dry Victory Came Agter a Long Preliminary Struggle— Carries $152,500,000 Appropriation. Washington. — The administration food control bill, giving the President broad authority to control the distri bution of food, feed and fuel for war purposes and appropriating $152,500,- C00 for its enforcement and adminis tration, was passed by the House after far-reaching prohibition provisions had beenwritteninto. it > The vote was 365 to five, Represen tatives McLemore, Slayden and Young, of Texas, democrats, and Meeker, Missouri, and Ward, New York, re publicans, voting in the negative. The prohibition provisions adopted would prohibit the -use of foodstuffs for the manufacture of alcoholic bev erages, and would give the President authority to take over for war pur poses all liquor now on hand. They were put into the measure during the evening in committee of the whole and when the bill came up In the House proper the anti-prohibition fac tion did not demand another vote. Few important changes were made by the House outside the prohibition section. The control powers of the President were limited to articles spe cifically .mentioned in the bill, instead of giving him blanket authority; vol untary aids in control work were made subject to the penal provision; all persons In the fool administration except those serving without compesa- tion were placed under civil service, and the President was required to make an annual report on the opera tion of the bill. After several' hours of parliamen tary sparring, during which the' pro hibitory proposals were thrown cut repeatedly on points of ' order, the prohibition element got the upper hand and forced adoption of amend ments which would forbid the use of any foodstuffs during the .war for making intoxicants, and would give the .President authority to take over, ip his discreatton, ''all stocks of dis tilled liquors. Action on the prohibition amend ments was taken in committee of the whole, and opponents of the propos als immediately began mustering their forces for a reconsideration when the bill comes up for final discusion in the House.

The proclamation fol lows: “Proclamation by the President: “I hereby designate the period 'of June 23 to June 30, next, as recruit ing week for the regular army, and call upon unmarried men between the ages of eighteen and forty years, who have no dependents and who are not engaged In pursuits vitally necessary to the prosecution of the war, to pre sent themselves for enlistment during the week herein designated to the number- of 70,000. • (Signed). “WOODROW WILSON.” The President’s action was taken at the request of army officials who have been seriously concerned over the slow raie of recruiting for the regular army, despite the fact that the war department’s recruiting agencies cover every section of the country and that men are asked to serve only for the period of the war. It had been hoped that the regular, service could be brought to its whole war strength of approximately 300,000 men by June 30, which would have permitted the war department to carry out its plans In regard to. the “training of all the forced to be raised.

Also, he said, requisitioning of factories or regulation of wages was not contemplated and excision of war profits in distribution of food largely by voluntary co-operation of business interests involved, is the prime object of the bin. Four basic measures of food con trol planned, Mr.- Hoover said, are export regulation control of distrl- mution- including speculation, mobiliza tion of America’s women and men in a campaign for economy and against waste and participation of the states in administration work. Federal commissions to control wheat, sugar and a few other “prime commodities” by regulation of produc tion, storage, transportation and pale, also are contemplated he said, but in stead of injuring farmers as some have claimed these things will benefit both producers and consumers with out curtailment of middlemen's normal and fair profits. Asserting that the allies’ food sup ply will be forty per cent deficient even with America’s food surplus.as sisting Mr. Hoover said the deficiency must be made up by sacrifice abroad and economy here. Saving. of six cents a day per capita in this country he said, would save two billion dollars, while a twenty per ,cent saving in flour would give 100,000 bushels more ,to the allies, In this connection, he told the senators that speculators In, flour alone have taken $50,000,000 a month from the American public dur ing the last five months.

TO BLIND KERMAN ARMIES France Readyfo Co-operate in Train- ’-'g Americans as Fliers—Wait for Congress to Provide the Funds. Washington.—Secretary Baker, of ficers of the War college and Brig. Gen. George O. Squier, chief signal of ficer of the army, are studying a plan to strike a telling blow at the German war machine in France by means of a tremendous American airplane force capable of overwhelming opposing air craft and “blinding the eyes of the German armies.” The plan, elaborate but practical in every respect, has pro gressed to' the point of exchanges be tween the American, British and French army leaders. The secrecy which has slironded it no longer is re garded as necessary. In fact, details' of the plan must be made public be cause it is up to congress to provide the necessary funds. Would Blind Germans. General Squier, by reason of his po sition as organizer and so-called man ager of the nation’s future aviation forces, is not free to discuss the mat ter. There is, however, unquestionable authority for the statement that he indorses the advocacy of an immedi ate and enormous increase of this na tion’s aviation forces for the specific purpose of concentrating so many thousand battle machines on the firing line that German aHlllery will be ren dered sightless. The German military leaders then would be forced to con tinue the fight “blindfolded” against the allies. The importance of this would be ap preciated at once, it is asserted, if the public could see some of the latest messages which have come from French and British strategists now conducting the war. General Squier has been making advance preparation for this contingency for weeks. The groundwork is laid for- putting the ac tual plan into full operation, and all that is necessary is for General Squier to receive word from Secretary Baker to “go ahead.” Before Secretary Baker can give this authority, con gress must pledge the necessary funds, which are estimated at about $1 ,000 ,- 000 ,000. The bureau of ordnance of the war department has received funds of al most $1,500,000,000 for work on heavy ordnance. This Is all-important, but in the opihion of those Interested In the aviating program it cannot have a direct bearing on. the war operations for almost two years. It will be some time before American troops can be concentrated to make their presence felt in the struggle. But an American aeronautical force, it is said, could exert a tremendous and perhaps decl- *•** BERNHARDT FINDS LOSS OF LEG HAS ADVANTAGE New Xork.—Upon returning from a motor ride to Mount Sinai hospital recently Sarah Bern hardt was enjoying a light repast when she startled William J.

GERMANS FOND OF NETTLES Ancfent Food of Teutons Again. Ap pears on the Tables in Germany. Munich.—A food which was much used and'liked by the ancient Teutons, but had been forgotten for many cen turies, has again appeared on the Ger man tables under the dire necessity of the wartime—the nettle. The weed, which is now cultivated in enormous quantities and has largely replaced cotton. for cloth, is cooked like spinach and also used for soup^ and other dishes. As the plant con tains much sugar and chlorophyl, it has a considerable food value, and it tastes better than spinach. In Sweden, where many of the an- , dent Teutonic customs have survived, nettles have always been eaten, and lately they have, been sold canned. In some parts of southern Germany “nettle dumplings” were formerly con sidered a delicacy of the spring sea son. “Clean Your.

As one leading American army authority phrased' it, “The effect of American aeronautical forces in Europe would be felt acutely by Germany within a week after they reached French soil.” Factories Are Listed. The first move which General Squier has completed after weeks of labor has been to remove in advance all im pediments to turning the nation’s genius and resources to aviation. Ev ery American manufacturer now en gaged in aeronautical work has been souiided ojj£. ' Every manufacturer of engines, automobiles, electrical appli ances or what not who could be of as sistance has been listed, and in thou sands of cases communicated with. General Squier has concentrated his energies not on providing an American aeronautical force- which could hold its own with the British or French, but in providing an overwhelming force completely eclipsing the efforts of the most progressive of' the Euro pean powers. Arrangements have been made with the French government whereby con valescent American aviators on the fir ing line will be sent to this country to act as instructors for others. Advance arrangements have been made for ob taining recruits for the aviation forces later to be concentrated abroad. “Fly in France” may be the motto to be seen on the street cars and billboa'rds within the next month or two. “Fly for. Liberty," “Blindfold the Enemy,” are other slogans. Beans Grow After 3,000 Years. San Bernardino, Cal.—Four bean seeds, estimated to be 3,000 years old, planted here by R. P.

New York.—American troops arriv ing in a British town are described picturesquely by a copy of Tho Black pool Times which has just reached here. England’s impressions of her American allies are given for the first time. The name of the body of troops is not stated, but various indications show clearly it is the Medical corps unit from Western Reserve univ.erslty, Cleveland. The article reads in part as follows: "Exactly at 1:50 the mayor and town clerk hurried to the town hall. After greeting the Americans at the station, the mayor promptly donned his offi cial robes and chain of Office,-and, ac companied by the mayoress, along with the town clerk and Sir John Rus sell, Bart., who is a private in the R.

Cheers upon cheers re verberated from the crowds lining the streets and Talbot square as the American troops marched smartly past. “The American band was followed by two of the men carrying a large Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes side by side, this significant emblem of unity arousing great patriotic cheering. They were greeted with the playing of the American national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner,” by the R.' A., M. C. Depot band, stationed immedi ately In front of the town hall. The troops, who»were a finely built lot'of young men, were promptly lined up, and the mayor and mayoress, accom panied by Sir John Russell, Bart., the •town clerk and Mrs. Harbottle and Mrs. J.

"Captain Tootle called upon the men to show what they felt in their hearts, the gladness that came over them on that occasion. He desired them to'let the good people assembled know how'happy they were to be pres ent to stand ..shoulder to shoulder In that great human cause. “Give them three hearty American cheers, and re member your colleagues,” was the con cluding appeal. “The men responded with three rous ing cheers, which far exceeded all pre vious similar responses. took Pale but Fit. “They are young men, from eighteen years upward, and nearly all clean shaven.

In dress they some what resemble our colonial-troops, es pecially in headgear, for their hats— American service hats—are of the sombrero type, with the slack crown. Their khatl is a shade darker in color than that of our men, and their over coats are thick, uncommonly long, and worn loose fitting.

Raleigh. AiS State - Director of the National Boys' Working .Reserve, Mr. T. E. Browne has started the work of get ting enrolled for productive labor all available young men 'between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one. He is send ing out letters to the secretaries of ithe Y. M. C. A. organizations through the State, Boy Scout Masters, Secre taries of Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade to the men whose names are sent. Enrollment cards will be mailed and It is urged that these agencies assist in getting the boys of the towns and the cities enrolled. “I have recently been ' appointed State Director of ,the National Boys’ Working Reserve. The purpose of this organization is to secure the names and addresses of all young men be tween the ages of sixteen and twenty- one who are available for some kind of productive labor either upon the farm or in industrial plants and who are willing to be employed for not less than three weeks. To those whose names are forwarded to the state di rector, or some designated enrolling officers, enrollment cards, eligibility rules, oath of service and other litera ture will be mailed. When the card and other blanks are properly filled out and returned to this office, the signer is enrolled in the Boys’s Work ing Reserve and an effort made to get him employment consistent .with his desires. The farm demonstration agents and other organizations are rapidly securing the names of fanners and industrial workers who are in' need of help. “This letter is going to ^secretaries of the Y. M. C. A.’s, Boy Scout Mas ters, Secretaries of Chambers of Com merce and Boards of Trade with the hope that they will assist the State Director in getting the boys- of the town and. cities enrolled. We cannot hope to get the country hoys into this organization for the reason 'that they are needed upon their own or their fathers’ farms. This organization does not accept for membership boys work ing upon a project in which they have a personal interest. For this reason, members of the various agricultural club activities can only become mem bers when they have extra time to be devoted to work upon some neighbors’ farm. North Carolina has always been found doing Its work in every na tional crisis. . This is an opportunity for the boys of the cities and towns who are not eligible for enlistment in ‘the army to ‘do their hit’ toward the production of crops and the manufac ture of necessary articles, which is just as important a part of the na tion’s defense as fighting and" at the same time, receive pay. “It is desirable that we have a large enrollment‘In the Boys’ Working Re serve that labor may be available for the harvest of the large crop of food and feed crops which we are expect ing to be made this year. Boys who successfully comply with the require ments of the organization will be awarded a Federal badge, a very pret ty bronze medal, indicating ihait they are • members of- the national organi zation which is rendering a necessary patriotic service. It is very much desired that the various papers of the state and all organizations interested in the securing of profitable employ ment of (heir thousands of city boys who are unemployed during the sum mer, and who can furnish the neces sary labor for the farmers, will give this movement all possible publicity. The State Director will furnish all the information possible .to those who arc interested.’’ -- New .Enterprises Authorized.

The time has again come around' for paying the automobile tax and the secretary of state, J. Bryan Grimes; is mailing out copies of the new state automobile law, which is sweeping in its provisions'. ' Some of the provisions of the act, especially those that have been changed or added; .are given for the benefit of the owners of cars. One which is being constantly violated will,v after July I, be rigidly enforced throughout the state. This is section 13, which makes it unlawful for chil dren under sixteen, years of age to operate an automobile u^on any pub lic highway. -Section 17 provides for a maximum speed of eighteen miles' in the resi dence section of a city or town, ten miles in the business section, and twenty-five, miles in the country. The muffler cannot' be cut out in any in corporated city or town. Section 20 protects the owners of cars by- making it unlawful for any person to use an automobile without the knowledge or consent of the own er, expressed or implied. Section 21 provides the penalty for a violation of any section of the act, providing that upon conviction the fine is not to exceed $50, or imprison ment for more than thirty days. In his note to the automobile own ers', Secretary Grimes calls attention to two provisions of the law as fol lows: “Beginning with July I, every ma chine operated on the highways of this state shall be equipped with dimmers or deflectors so arranged that no por tion of 'the beam or reflected light when measured seventy-five feet or more ahead of the lamps shall rise above forty-two inches from the level surface on- which the vehicle stands under all conditions of load. “Under chapter 140, public laws of i917, two plates, one to be placed on the front of a registered motor ve hicle and one on the rear thereof, are to be furnished. These plates must be rigidly fastened to the machine—at least fifteen inches, above the ground. Do not swing them to the axle. Un- der no circumstances can the 1917-’18 plates be used on your machine until July I,” . Appointed Bee Specialist. Announcement is made that C. L. Same, of Madison'county, has been ap pointed bee-keeping specialist in the etomology division of the state de partment of agriculture, and he takes' up his duties at once, working under the direction, of State Entomologist Franklin Sherman. Mr. Sherman says of the bee industry in this state that it is assuming very important pro portions and in this period of high cost of living, bees will be found an especialy profitable “side line,” , there being no work or expense to the in dustry except UievCare of the bees and gathering the honey. Mr. Sams has been long interested in bee culture and has 150 hives at his place in Mad ison county now. Mr. Sherman reports / one > bee keeper in Martin county as having 450 hives now and working with the view of having 1,000 hives just as quickly as he can develop the addi tional colonies. One North Carolina bee-keeper reported recently having G50 gallons of extracted honey for sale. Bickett Declines Barbecue Speeches. Numbers of. invitations are coming in to Governor- Bickett for him to speak at barbecues and other festive occasions, especially barbecues, and he is turning all of them down and . ad vising the promoters to' call off the barbecues and donate the money they would cost to the. Red Cross and' at the same time save, the pig?, which will be much better, under’ Oie stress of the times, to le.t develop to full grown pork. It Is an interesting fact that almost every one of those to whom the Governor has made the sug gestion of conserving the pigs and aid ing the Red Cross by cancelling the barbecues have heartily thanked the Governor for his suggestion and as sured him that this course would be followed.

J. Watt & Co.) ’ SYNOPSIS. On Misery creek Sally Miller finds Oeorgc- Lescott, a landscape painter, unconscious. Jesse Purvy of tile HolIman <lan lias been shot and Samson Js suspected of the crime. Samson denies It. The shooting breaks the truce In the UolIman-South feud. Jim Hollman hunts wiiii liloodhounds the man who shot Pur- vv. The bloodhounds lose the trail at Ppieer South’s door. Lescott discovers artistic ability in Samson. While sketching with Lescott on the mountain, Tamarack discovers Samson to a jeering erowd t.f mountaineers. ‘Samson thrashes him and denounces him as the “truee-bus- ter” who shot Purvy. At Wile Mc- t-ager"s dance Samson tells the South elan that he is going to leave the mountains. Lescott goes home to New York. Samson bids Spicer and Sally farewell and follows. In New York Samson studies art and learns much of city ways. Drennie Lescott persuades Wilfred Horton, her dilettante lover, to do a man’s work Jn the world. CHAPTER IX. Christmas came to Misery wrapped In a drab mantle of desolation. At the cabin of the Widow Miller Sally was sitting alone before the logs. She laid down the slate and spelling book, over which her forehead had been strenuously puckered, and gazed some what mournfully into the blaze. Sally had a secret. It was a secret which she based on a faint hope. If Samson should come back to Misery he would come back full of new notions. No man had ever yet returned from that outside world unaltered. No man ever would. A terrible premonition said he would not come at all, but, if he did— if he did—shd must know how to read and write. Maybe, when she had learned a little more, she might even go to school fgr a term or two. The cramped and distorted chirog- raphy on the slate was discouraging. It was all proving very hard work. The girl gazed for a time at something she saw' in the embers, and then a faint smile came to her lips. By next- Christ mas she would surprise Samson with a letter. It should be well written, and every “hain’t” should be an “isn’t.”******* The normal human mind is a res ervoir which fills at a rate of speed regulated hy the number- and caliber of its febd pipes. Samson’s mind had long been almost empty, and now from so many sources the waters of new things were rushing in upon it that under their pressure it must fill fast, or give away. He was saved from hopeless com plications of thought by a sanity which was willing to assimilate with out too' much effort to analyze. The boy from Misery was presently less bizarre to the eye than many of the unkempt bohemians he met in the life of the-studios, men who quarreled garrulously over the end and aim of ArtlyJvhich they spelled with a capi tal A—and, for the most part, knew nothing of. He retained, except with in a small circle of intimates, a silence that passed for taciturnity, and solemnity of visage that was often construed into surly egotism. He still wore his hair long, and though his conversation gradually sloughed off much' of its idiom and vulgarism, enough of the mountaineer stood out to lend to his personality a savor of the crudely picturesque. Meanwhile he drew and read and Mudied and walked, and every day’s advancement was a forced march. I.eBCott, tremendously interested in his experiment, began to fear that the boy’s too great somberness of disp,p sition would defeat’the very earnest ness from which it sprang. So.one morning the landscape-maker called on a friend whom he rightly believed to be the wisest man, and the great est humorist In New York. "I want your help,” said Lescott. "I want you to meet a friend of mine and take him under your wing in a fashion. He needs you.” The stout man’s face clouded. A few years ago he had been peddling his manuscripts with the heart-stckness of unsuccessful middle age.- Today men coupled his name with those of Kip ling and De Maupassant. One of his' antipathies was meeting people who sought to lionize him. Lescott read the expression, and, before his host had time to object, swept into his re cital. At the end he summarized:, “The artist is much like the setter Pup. If it’s in him, it’s as instinctive as a dog’s nose. But to become effi cient he must go a-field with a steady veteran of his own breed.” "I know!” The great man, who was also the simple man, smiled reminis cently. “They tried to teach me to herd sheep when my nose was itching for bird country. Brihg on your-man; I want to know him.” Samson was told nothing of the be nevolent conspiracy, but- one- evening shortly later he found himself sitting at a cafe table with his sponsor and a stout man, almost as silent as him self. The stout man responded with something like churlish taciturnity the lialf-dbzfen men and women who <«me over with flatteries. But later, when :bp t--;o was left alone, his face brightened* and he turned to the boy from Misery. Does Billy Conrad still keep store at Stagbone?’ Samson started and his gaze fell in amazement. At the mention of the name he saw a cross-roads store with rough mule's hitched to fence palings. It was a picture of home, and here was a man who had been there! With glowing eyes the boy dropped uncon sciously back into the vernacular of the hills. THev ye been thar, stranger?” * The writer nodded, and sipped his whisky. ‘Not for some years, though,” he confessed, as he drifted into reminis cence, which to Samson was like wa ter to a parched throat. When they left the cafe the boy felt as though he were taking leave of an old and tried friend. By homely methods, this unerring diagnostician of the human soul had been reading him, liking him, and making him feel a heart-warming sympathy. It was not until much later that Samson realized how these two really great men had adopted him as their little brother” that he might have their shoulder-toueh to march by. And it was without his realization, too, that they Jaid upon him the imprint of their own characters and philoso phy. ’* * * * ’ * * * “I have come, not to quarrel with you, but to try to dissuade you.” The Hon. Mr. Wickliffe bit savagely at his cigar and gave a despairing spread to his well-manicured hands. “You stand in danger of becoming the most cordially hated man in New York—hated by the most powerful combinations in New York.” Wilfred Horton leaned back in a swivel chair and put bis feet up on his desk. For a while he seemed interested in his own silk socks. ‘It’s very kind of you to warn me,” be said, quietly. The Hon. Mr. Wickliffe rose in ex asperation and paced the -floor. The smoke from his black cigar went be fore him in vicious puffs. Finally he stopped and leaned glaring on the table. “Your family has always been con servative. When you succeeded to the fortune you showed no symptoms of this mania. In God’s name, what has changed you?” ‘ “I hope I have grown up,” explained the young man, with an unruffled smile. “One can’t wejw swaddling clothes forever, you know.” The attorney for an instant softened his manner as he looked into the straight-gazing, unafraid eyes of his client. “I’ve known you from your baby hood. I advised your father before you were born. You halve, by the chabce of birth, come into the control of great wealth. The world of finance is of delicate balance. Squabbles In certain directorates may throw the Street into panic. Suddenly you emerge from decent quiet and run amuck in the china shop, bellowing and tossing your horns. You make war on those whose Interests are your own. You seem bent on hari-kari. You have toys enough to. amuse. Why couldn’t you stay put?” “They weren’t the right things. They were, as you say, toys.” The smile faded and Horton’s chin set itself for a moment as he added: “If you don’t think I’m going to stay pu$—watch me.” “Why do you have to make war— to be chronically insurgent?” “Because”—the young man, who had waked up, spoke slowly—“I am read ing a certain writing on the wall. The time is not far off when, unless we regulate a number of matters from within we shall be regulated from without.” “Take for instance this newspaper waT you’ve inaugurated on the police,” grumbled the corporation lawyer. ’ It’s less dangerous to the public than these financial crusades, but decidedly more so for yourself. You are re garded as a dangerous agitator, a mar plot! I tell you, Winfred,-aside from all other considerations the thing is perilous t<j yourself. You are riding for a fall. These men whom you are whipping out of public life will turn on you.” “So I hear. Here's a letter I got this morning—unsigned. That is, I thought it was here. Well, no matter. It warns me that I have less than three months to live unless I call off my dogs.”It is said that the new convert is ever the most extreme fanatic. Wil fred Horton had promised to put on his working clothes, and he had done it with reckless disregard for conse quences. At first, he was simply obey ing Adrienne’s orders; but soon he found himself playing the game for the game’s sake. Political overlords, assailed as unfaithful servants, showed their teeth. From some hidden, but unfailing, source terribly sure and di rect evidence of guilt was being gath ered. For Wilfred Horton, who was demanding a day of reckoning and spending great sums of money to get it, there was a prospect of things do ing. Adrienne Lescott was in Europe. Soon she w»uld return and Horton meant to show that he had not buried his talent.*■ * *. * * * * For eight months Samson’s life had run in the steady ascent of gradual climbing, but in the four months from the first of August to the first of De cember, the pace of his existence sud denly quickened. He left off drawing from plaster casts and went into a life class. ,In this period Samson had his first acquaintanceship with women, except those h,e had knowi from childhood— and his first acquaintance with the men who were not of his own art world. Tony Collasso was an Italian illus trator who lodged and painted in studio-apartnlents in Washington Square, South. His companions were various, numbering among them a ,group of those pygmy celebrities of whom one has never heard until by chance he meets them, and of whom their intimates speak as of immortals. To Collasso’s studio Samson was called one night by telephone. He had sometimes gone there before to sit for an hour, chiefly as a listener, while the man from Sorrento bewailed fate with his coterie, and denounced all forms of government over insipid Chianti. , • But tonight he entered the door to find himself In. the midst of a gay and boisterous party. The room was al ready thickly fogged with smoke, and a dozen men and women, singing snatches of current airs, were inter esting themselves over a chafing dish.! The crowd was typical. A few very minor writers and artists, a model or two, and several women who had thinking parts in' current Broadway productions. At eleven o’clock the guests of honor arrived in a taxicab. They were Mr. William Farbish and Miss Winifred Starr. Having come, as they explained, direct from the theater where Miss Starr danced in the first row, they were in evening dress. Samson men tally acknowledged, though with in stinctive disfavor for the pair, that both were, in a way, handsome. Col- lasso drew him aside to whisper imr portantly: ‘‘Make yourself agreeable to Farbish. He is received in the most exclusive society, and is a connoisseur of arj. If he takes a fancy to you, he will put you up :.t the best clubs. I think I shall sell him a landscape.” ’ The girl was talking rapidly and loudly. She had at once taken the center of the room, and her laughter rang in free and egotistical peals above the other voices. “Come, said the host, “I shall pre sent you.” 'j The boy shook hands, gazing with his usual directness into the show girl’s large and deeply-penciled eyes. Farbish, standing at pne side with his hands In his pockets, looked on with an' air of slightly bored detach ment. His dress, his mannerisms, his bear ing, were all those of the man who has overstudied his part. They were too perfect, too obviously rehearsed through years of social climbing, but that was a defect Samson was not yet prepared to recognize. Someone had naively complimented Miss Starr on the leopard-skin cloak she had just thrown from her shapely shoulders, and she turned promptly and vivaciously to the flatterer. “It is nice, isn’t it?” she prattled. "It may look a little up-stage for a girl who hasn’t got a line to read into the piece, but; these days one must get the spot-light, or be a dead one. It reminds me of a little run-in I had with Graddy—he’s our stage-director, you know.” She paused, awaiting the invitation to proceed, and, haring re ceived it, went gayly forward. • “I was ten minutes late, one day, for rehears al, and Graddy came up with that sar castic manner of his, and said: ‘Miss Sta'rr, I don’t doubt you are a perfect ly nice girl, and all that, but it rather gets my goat to figure out how, on a salary of fifteen dollars a week, you come to rehearsals in a million dollars’ worth of clothes, riding In. a limousine—and ten minutes late!’ ” She broke off with the eager little expression of awaiting applause, and, having been satisfied, she added: “I was afraid that wasn’t going to get a laugh, after all.” She glanced inquiringly at Samson, who had not smiled, and who stood looking puzzled. “A penfay for your thoughts, Mr. South, from down South,” she chal lenged. “I guess I’m sort of like Mr. Grad dy,’’ said the boy, slowly. “I was just wondering how you do do it.” He spoke with perfect seriousness, and, after a moment, the girl broke into prolonged' peal of laughter. “Oh, you are delicious!” she ex claimed. “If I could do the ingenue like that, believeme, I’d make some hit." She came over, and, laying a hand on each of the boy’s shoulder’s kissed him lightly on the cheek. “’That’s for a droll boy!” she said. “That’s the best line I’ve heard pulled lately.” Farbish was smiling in quiet amuse ment-. He tapped the mountaineer on the shoulder. “I’ve heard George Lescott speak of you,” he said, genially. “I’ve rather a fancy ,for being among the discover ers of men of talent We must see. more of each other.”' Samson left' the party early, and with a sense of disgust. Several days later, Samson was alone in Lescott’s studio. It was near ing twilight, and he had laid aside a volume of De Maupassant, whose aim-, pie power had beguiled him. The door opened, and he saw the figure of a woman on the threshold. The boy rose somewhat shyly from his. seat, and stood looking'at her. -She was as richly dressed as Miss Starr had been, but there was the same difference as between the colors of the sunset sky and the exaggerated daubs of Collas so’s landscape. She stood at the door a moment, and then came forward with her hand outstretched. “This is Mr. South, isn’t, it?”, she asked, with a frank friendliness in Tier voice.. “Yes, ma’am, that’s my same:” ‘Tm Adrienne Lescott,” said the girl. “I thought Id find my brother 'here. I stopped by to drive him up town.” , Samson had hesitatingly taken the gloved hand, and its grasp was firm and strong despite its ridiculous smallness. “I reckon he’ll be back presently.” The boy was in doubt as to the proper procedure. This was Lescott’s studio, and he was not certain whether or not it lay in his province, to invite Les cott’s sister to take possession of it. Possibly, he ought to withdraw. * is ideas of social usages were very vague. “Then, I think I’ll wait,” announced the girl. She. threw off her fur coat, and took a seat before the open grate. The chair was large, and swallowed her up. Samson wanted , to look at her, and was afraid that this would be impolite. He realized that he had seen no real ladles, except on the street, and now he had the opportunity. ‘Tm glad of this chance to meet you, Mr. South,” said the girl with a smile that found its way to the boy’s heart. After all. there was sincerity in “foreign” women. “George talks of you so much that I ’feel as if I’d known you all the while. DOn’t you think I might claim friendship with George’s friends?’’ Samson had no answer. He wished to say something equally cordial, but the old instinct against effusiveness tied his tongue. “I owe right smart to George Les cott,” he told her, gravely. - “That’s not answering my question,” she laughed. “Do you consent to be ing friends with me?” “Miss—” began the boy. Then, real izing that in New York this form of address is hardly complete, he hast ened to add: “Miss Lescott, I’ve been here over nine months now, and I’m just beginning to realize what a rube I am. I haven’t no—’’ Again, he broke off, and laughed at himself. “I mean, I haven’t any idea of proper manners, and so I’m, 'as we would say down home, ‘plumb skeered’ of ladies.” As he accused himself, Samson was looking at her with unblinking direct ness; and she met his glance with eyes that twinkled. , “Mr. South,” she said, “I know all about manners, and you know all about a hundred real things that I want to know. Suppose we begin teaching each other?” Samson’s face lighted with the rev olutionizing effect that a smile can bring only to features customarily solemn. ‘ “Miss Lescott,” he said, “let’s call that a trade—bqt you’re gettin’ all the worst' of it. To start with, you might give me a lesson right now in how a feller ought to act, when he’s talkin’ to a lady—how I ought to act with you!” Her laugh made the situation as easy as an-old shoe. Ten minutes later, Lescott entered. “Well,” he said, with a- smile, “shall I introduce you people, or have you already done it for yourselves’” “Oh,” Adrienne assured him, “Mr. South and I are old friends.” As the left the room, she turned and added: “The second lesson--had better be at my house. If I telephone you some day when we can have the school-room to ourselves, will you come up?” Samson grinned and forgot to be bashful as he replied: “I’ll come a-kitin’!” and led the way, on foot, to the near est road bouse. - “We will telephone that we shall bs late, and then have dinner” she laughed. “And for me to have dinner with you alone, unchaperoned at a country inn, is by New York standards delightfully unconventional. It borders on wickedness." Then, since their at titude toward each other was so friendly and innocent,- they both laughed. They had- dined under the trees of an old manor house, built a century ago, and now converted into an inn,- and they had enjoyed them selves because it J3eemed to them pleasingly paradoxical that they should find in a place seemingly so shabby- genteel a cuisine and service of such excellence? Neither of them had ever been there before, and neither of them knew that the reputation of this estab lishment was In its own way wide— and unsavory.- The repairs did not go as smoothly as the 'chauffeur had expected, and, when he had finished, he was hungry. So, eleven o’clock found them still chatting at their table on the lighted lawn. After awhile, they fell silent, and Adrienne noticed that her com panion’s face had become deeply, al most painfully set, and that his gaze was tensely focused on herself. “What is it, Mr. South?” she de manded. The young man began to speak, in a steady, self-accusing voice. “I was sitting here,' looking at you,” he said, bluntly, “I was thinking how fine you are in every way; how there is as much difference in the tex ture of men and women as there is in the texture of clothes. . From that automobile cap you wear to your slip pers and stockings, you are clad in silk. From your brain to the tone of CHAPTER X. Early that year, the touch of autumn came to the air. Often, returning at sundown from the afternoon life class, Samson felt the lure of its melancholy sweetness, and paused on one of the Washington Square benches," with many vague things stirring in his mind. He felt with a stronger throb the surety of young, but quickening, abilities within himself. Partly, it was the charm-, of Indian summer, ■ partly a sense of growing with the days, but, also, though he had not as yet realized that, it was the new friendship into which Adrienne had admitted him, and the new experience of frank cam araderie with a woman not as a mem ber of an inferior sex, but as an equal companion of brain and soul. He had seen her often, and usually alone, be cause he shunned meetings with strangers. Until his education had ad vanced further, he wished to avoid social embarrassments.' He knew that she liked him, and realized that it was because he was a new and virile type, and for that reason a diversion— a sort of human novelty. She liked him, too, because it was rare for a man to offer her friendship without making love, and she was certain he would not make love. He liked her for the same reasons that every one else-did—because she was herself. Of late, too, he had met a number of men at Lescott’s club. lie was mod estly surprised to find that, though his attitude on these occasions was always that of one sitting in the back ground, the men seemed to like him, and, when they said, “See you again,” at parting, it was with the convincing manner of real friendliness. One wonderful afternoon in Octo ber, when the distances were mist- hung, and the skies very clear. Sam son sat across the table from Adrienne Lescott at a road house -on the Sound. The sun had set through great cloud battalions massed .against the west, and the horizon was fading into dark ness through a haze like ash of roses. She had picked him up' on the Ave nue, and taken him into her car for a short spin, but the afternoon had beguiled them, luring them on a little farther, and still a iittle farther. When they were a score of miles from Man hattan, the car had suddenly' broken down. It would, the chauffeur' told them, be the matter of an hour to’ effect repairs, so the girl, explaining to the boy that this event gave the affair the aspect of adventure, turned “I Was Thinking of My People.” your voice, you are woven of human silk. I’ve, learned lately that silk isn’t weak, but strong. They make the best balloons of it.” He paused and laughed, but his face again became sober. “I was thinking, too, of your mother. She must be sixty, but she’s a young woman. Her face is smooth and unwrinkled, and her heart is still In bloom. At the same age, George won’t be much older than he is now.” The compliment was so obviously not intended as compliment at all that the girl flushed with pleasure. “Then,” went on Samson, his face slowly drawing with pain; “I was thinking of my own people. My mother was about forty when she died. She was an old woman. My father was forty-three. He was an old man. I was thinking how they with ered under their drudgery—and of the monstrous injustice of it all.” (TO BE CONTINUED.) OLD CRAFT OF ODD DESIGN Mesopotamia Boat, Known as Kufa, Known to Have Been in Use Be- .fore Christian Era. The Kufa, a curious circular boat made of basketwork, and seen no where else in the world, is a com mon sight in Mesopotamia. The fer rymen charge only a cent each'pas senger. There is one good point about these strange craft—they are not eas ily upset. Their carrying capacity also is great, and the kufa men pack in their passengers-like herrings In a bar rel. I had the good luck to take a pho tograph of the actual building of a kufa on the banks of the Tigris river, says a writer in the Wide World. They are made of date palm ' branches woven together with rope made out of leaves of the same palm, thickly plas tered on the outside with bitumen. They range from four to twelve feet in diameter. Nowhere but on the Tigris and lower Euphrates rivers can one see these curious craft, which serve principally for the transport of passengers, country produce and beasts of burden across the river. About three men are required to make a kufa of respectable size, and it takes them some twenty days to build it. Like the kelek, the kufa is of great antiquity, for both these strange craft were in use long before the time of Ghrist The evidence of this is in disputable, for on the bas-reliefs taken from the palace of Sennacherib both, craft are clearly represented.

Will Be Destroyed Although In different as to Himself. It ‘ is extraordinary what curious fears some soldiers hrfve. One fighter always dreads that his charcoal fire will be destroyed by a shell. He al ways places the burner in the most protected part of the trench, but re mains quite indifferent in regard to his own personal safety. Another extraordinary fear of a sol dier at the front is that of having his bootlaces untied. Nothing else has terrors for him.' from bayonet fighting to asphyxiating gases. But he is quite: certain that if his bootlaces are loose- he will trip over them and break his- neck. He always examines his IaceS- to see If they are properly fastened. Another soldier who has been through- the thick of the fighting is terribly frightened of going through a wood,, and would rather walk miles round it than half a mile through it. He has- the fear that some day a tree will sud denly fall and crush him. Many soldiers have a horror of los ing their Identity disks, or of being- unidentified If they are killed, and; buried in a nameless grave. One man- Is known to carry little scraps of paper- In every pocket, giving his name and regiment, so that his body may be rec ognized if he is killed. Knew What Was in It.

GRIM GAS BATTLES FOUGHT Toulouse Geese. Chinas which are considered quite pro ductive breeds. They lay on an aver age of about 50 eggs a year, and are very likely to increase their egg pro duction as they grow older. The customary way of raising geess is to let them shift for themselves to a great extent, and if they have plen ty of good grass pasture they do very well. Experience haS shown that gecsa Jfo not do well on a ration consisting Xftrgeiy of grain. Grit is an essential in the diet of the goose, but I doubt the advisability of feeding sour milk to any great extent, as I believe any thing which will force egg production would likely have some detrimental ef fect upon the fertility of the egg. While grit and oyster shells are es sential, they are not usually provided because geese are not confined like chickens, and pick up enough of such material at most any time of the year.

One of the most striking economic changes in recent years has been the loss by Brazil of its dominant posi tion in the rubber trade. Whereas, a few years back, the world looked to South America for most of its crude rubber, it is now getting the larger share from the far Kast. The Bra zilian product is obtained from- trees that grow wild, and little has been done- toward cultivation of the trees. In Sumatra, Ceylon, Burmah and other countries millions of trees have been set out and are now coming-into bear ing. This domestic product is said to be slightly superior to that obtained from Brazil, and the trees improve with age. The financial loss to Brazil through its decreasing exports has be come a serious matter.—New York Times.

The editor of The Record lives within plain view of two chewing gum slot machines, where one may drop a penny in the slot and secure a piece of chewing gu;cn. Now, there is no harm.in these machines on week days, but we noticed the Children, when on their way to Sunday school; some of them stop and deposit their pennies which they were supposed to carry to church in these machines and during the Sun day school hour they chew gum and have no penny for the collection. A good lady remarked to us a few days ago that'the slot machines should be taken off the streets on Sunday, thus removing the temp tation from the children. This is no affair of ours, but we believe the town alderman have the power to do as thev see fit. and it is up to them ■ to settle this question. We thought it our duty to. mention the m^ tter, B a r g a i n s I n F u r n itu r e . Y o u d o n ’t h a v e t o g o o u t o f t h e c o u n t y t o g e t j u s t w h a t y o u w a n t .

STEP IN M T DIRECTION Commissioner Young Tells' Women Awful Fire Waste Will Be Greatly Reduced.^ At the annual convention of the North Carolina Federation of Wo man’s Clubs held at Durham during the first week in. May the unanimous support of the organization was pledg ed to the work of the North Carolina Insurance department in fire and acci dent prevention. This action follow- ediW address by Commissioner James R. Young in which he outlined the plans for the department along the Sinea of fire and accident prevention and told of the great need of co-opera tion on the part of all civic organiza tions in every town and city in the State and especially the cooperation of the women’s organizations. Commissioner Young expressed him self as highly gratified at the assur ances of support given him and stated that he .considered the action of the federation a step in the right direction ap'd one which: is sure to bring splendid results to the citizens and property dffners of North Carolina. IvA reduction of the awful fire waste In this country, Commissioner Young says, can only be brought about along .educational, lines and through the co operation and assistance-of citizens who are lust beginning to realize the responsibility that rests on their Shoulders because of carelessness or t£e lack of ordinary precaution. Every fire is paid for by all the'people, Mr. Young says. Insurance is . collected from.-ali and paid to him who has a flfe;^hence the man who has a fire IhtentlonaMy or unintentionally takes money, from 'his neighbors. •. ,Every week In this country fire de stroys. 1,600 dwellings, 140 apart ment buildings, 26 hotels, 12 schools, 10 -.churches, 3; large department stores/ 3 hospitals, 3 jails, 3 theaters. 3. CpubEc halls and 2 colleges. Eight thousand persons-are rendered home- line; and nine persons are burned to death- every day I in the year in the CnIted States. I ,■ .Reasonable care and precaution would have prevented a vast majority of these- fires and accidents and the Federation of Woman’s Clubs in the' dtate are bo be commended for the' position they have taken - In the Are prevention campaign.'- D in D S RULES P H D H S NO MAN WOULD ADMIT THAT HIS CARELESS ACTS COST HUMAN LIFE. Act of Carelessness In North Carolina Came Dangerously Near Costing Lives of Six Persons. Utter disregard for all the rules that make for the protection of human life, charged bo almost any citizen of North Carolina would bring forth the highest resentment. No man would be willing to admit or to even have It intimated that a careless act of his had come dangerously near costing the lives oi six persons. Yet this very fact was brought to the attention of a represen tative of the State Insurance Depart ment recently. If the man who was the careless and criminally negligent party to the affair were told of the case in this light he would be "fight ing mad.” The affair happened more than a year ago In a small town in North Car. ol'ina. The representative of the In surance Department had occasion to call on a man who is a deaf mute. The conversation was carried on by writing. Here is what • the citizen wrote: “The greatest danger to the town is in the careless way in which they build flues and chimneys. ■ Last year I rented a house and 'the man re served one room up stairs to use him self. "He cut a small hole through the wooden ceiling and weather boards and put stove (sheet Iron) pipe through it and into the chimney on the outside. Rats built a nest be tween the ceiling and outside boards just under the pipe and sparrows built a nest outside on top of the pipe. It caught fire at night (11 o’clock) -and neither my wife nor I can hear, i.eigbbors had to break down the doors to 'get us and four children out."

The Texas Flre Commission says: “As is the fire waste so much be the fire tax.” Defective flues are responsible for 13 per cent of all fires. What about the flues in your house? Fire prevention is merly the appli cation of the simple rules of common sense bo the plain laws of “safety first.” There is a sentence in Latin to the effect that “a spark neglected has often raised a conflagration.” This Is Cf especial application during the dry grass season. . Thomas P. Brophy, chief of the New York Bureau of Fire Investiga tion, says that 15 per cent of garage fires are caused by smoking. Is a hint to the wise sufficient? If you happen to see smoke or an incipient blaze in a plat of dried grass or elsewhere, stop and put it out or at least investigate it; You may save the city from a serious fire. Your carelessness where fire is in volved may have been fortunately overruled up to the present time, but be sure that sooner or later the un expected will overtake you. About 10,000 matches are scratched every second' in this, country, each match containing the elements of a possible fire. Is it to -be wondered at that care is needed m handling mat ches? The way to secure lower insurance rates Is to have fewer fires. What is your contribution to the question of fire prevention? Are you on the side of the careless or in the ranks of the careful? Always keep weeds and grass cleaned up. They frequently make a bad fire. It was a boy throwing a- ball of burning yarn in the grass at Atlanta. Georgia, Uiat caused a 52,000,000 fire.—Fire Facts.
