NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. MARCHS. 1915 NUMBER 33 MUST BE PROTECTED Propsr Tariff Duties Would Es­ tablish Industry. Wise Leglalation Must Oo Its Part To­ ward the Creation of an Addl ] tlonal Source of Wealth to I the United States. ; Higher tariff protection, according ito the report of a committee of the American Chemical society, is abso­ lutely needed. The present duty of 30 per cent ad valorem 011 imported •dyes has been in force many years, but it has not created an American coal-tar industry. The committee holds that a specific duty or 7% cents a pound must be added to the 30 per cent ad valorem to give real pro­ tection. The small specific duty would shut out the cheap dyes which are so largely used here, while the 30 per cent duty would be sufficient, as now, on high-priced dyes. There is plenty of raw material produced in this country, the present production of coal tar being sufficient for supplying the textile industries with dvestuffs. But the industry can­ not be established here without bet­ ter tariff protection. The problem is whether tiie public is willing to pay for controlling its own sources—for In the long run the cost would fall on the general public. Textile manufac­ turers, naturally enough, have always opposed raising the duty on dyeB. It is an interesting question whether Ihelr present difficulties, including their lack of many desired colors, and much higher prtceB for those they do obtain, will work a change of mind in them. The conclusion of the debate is that wo can have a coal-tar in­ dustry if we want to make tha neces­ sary changes. For a decision, it Is necessary that the public should know ,what changes are required, and that these concern almost exclusively the tariff, and the matter of co-operation among the color makers. — Boston Transcript. Our "Ignoble Peace." They (Wilson and Bryan) take the view that when we are asked to redeem in the concrete promises we made in the abstract our duty In to disregard our obligations and to preserve Ignoble peace for ourselves by regarding with cold-blooded and timid lndilference the most frightful ravages of war commit­ ted at the expense of a peaceful and unofTending country. This Is the cult of cowardice. That President Wilson and Mr. Bryan profess it nnd put it In action would be of small consequence if only they themselves were con­ cerned. The Importance of their ac­ tion is that it commits the United States.—Theodore Roosevelt in the In­ dependent. A Mind With No Sidetracks. Why is it that the administration Will persist in following certain ideas when every available scrap of infor­ mation as to them indicates that they are wrongly conceived? The official attitude towurds Mexico has been a mistaken one from the beginning. The cotton-loan pool was opposed by hard-headed bankers whoso business it is to know economic conditions; the shlp-purchase bill is opposed by business interests the country over. The fact that tile cotton-loan plan would lielp the administration out of « difficult political situation was not a sound reason for forcing that plan on the bankers.—Buffalo Express. The President to Business. In ids speech to the American Elec­ tric Railway association at Washing­ ton President Wilson Bald: "it seems to me that I can say with » good deal of confidence that wo are upon the eve of a new era of enter­ prise and of prosperity.” The president has been saying this for more than a year. Indeed, he hns gone iinich further; he said that the era of prosperity had arrived and that the blindness to It was purely psycho­ logical. Apparently he wbb mistaken In Ills former utterances. The amend­ ment is ucceptcd with hopes that the Iicw guess may come out true. When the Mists Will Blow.Away. The president seems to have had an­ other vision of the good time coming, sayB the Baltimore American. In his speech at the Electric Railway conven­ tion he declared, "I feel that the mists and the miasmic airs of suspicion that have filled the business world have now blown away." Well, the mists and the miasma will doubtless blow ‘ away eventually—say along about the first Tuesday after the first Monday In Novembe| of next year. Psychological Money Unacceptable. "There's nothing the matter with American business except a state of mind," says Mr. Wilson. "If you are going to buy it, buy .it now.” Tes, but the trouble is'the storekeeper won’t accept psychological money. 8»me people Are too sharp to ^be Mt upon oofnferMbly. i£>. I . The Difference. A good argument for the Creamery is contained in a recently published article going the rounds of many Western papers, which are desirous of establishing this industry in their respective communities. The fol­ lowing is the article in question: A gentleman who is posted on financial matters, who has looked the situation over carefully and thoroughly, has this to say relative to the importance of the dairy in­ dustry from the financial standpoint in a community: “One county in Iowa, the one where the first co-operative Cream­ ery was established, has in two banks deposits to ,the value of $2,076,000, and undivided profits, capital and surplus to the value of $800,000. l’his county has more creameries than any otherin the State, it is pre­ eminently a successful dairy com­ munity, and the improved herds of dairy cattle are being introduced rapidly. Another county, one that nas not a creamery, and where dairy­ ing is abhorred because it presents coo much work, has in its three oanks $178,000 as capital and sur- plus and undivided profits and $840,* JOO on deposit.” Here is the difference between the community where dairying flourishes and the one where it does not. In the former the deposits are $2,076,- J00, while in the latter, where there ire no creameries, the deposits are $840,000. In the county where cream­ eries flourish the undivided profits in two banks is $800,000, while in the chree banks of the other county it represents $178,000. Thisshowsper- naps as convincingly as can be shown in any wav the fact that the dairy farmer is the farmed who has money, de is the man who is able to pat­ ronize banks because he has to de­ posit. The other county where the cream­ eries do not flourish is given over largely to grain farming and the ceeding of some cattle and hegseadu year. In both counties land values from a sale standpoint are about the same. From the stand point of earning capacity there is a decided difference. These figures tell their ownstory. Liquor in Pumpkins. Kenova, West Va., is located in (liree states—West Virginia, Vir­ ginia and Kentucky—and is fur­ nishing plenty of trouble to Pro* Qibition Commissioner Blue since West'Va., got on the water wagon. At first the KenoyiteS bought their booze in the Kentucky part »t town and brought it to West Virginia. When the commissioner slopped this a cable was stretched and the booze was brought across the line in baskets, and this, too, was stopped. The latest move to outwit the Vost law has been the placing of a pint bottle ol liquor in a pumpkin, whiah the Kentucky farmers haul there charging $1 a pumpkin. One farmer is said to have sold 2,000 pumpkins therein a single day The Legialature And The Consent Law. Everything. Enough to know that our State Legislature is willing to say that a girl of the tender age of 14 years can enter into a contract; with a man to Bell her immortal soul—to sign up a contract t8 go to hell—but if she has a dirty dollar invest Jd in pro perty she*, is not old enough to make a contract; that would take that from her.

Newspapers have been hit a severe jolt by the prevailing con­ ditions. It is felt in the cotton belt from the big dailies down to. the couxtry weeklies. A number of weeklies in North Carolina have had to suspend entirely, several semi weeklies have gene back to a weekly and all papers are • living from hand to mouth.

We onght to repeal the present destructive tariff; destruc­ tive of national income as well as destructive of business.” Tlie Record is right, the present tariff ought to be repealed because it has destroyed business and ruin ed the country. The same thing ban happened to the eonntry that alwpye happens when the Demo­ cratic party is permitted to write the laws upon the stotutes of this nation. The Democratic party has again demonstrated its inability to give the Ameriean people a govern­ ment in which they can make a decent living. There is no man or business new that we know ef that is making a dollar. Laboring peo • pie are out of work and many are beiog cared for in soup houses.

The Third Norwegian Vessel Goes to Bottom on Same Day With the Se­ cond American Ship. Boston, F eb . 23. — Another American steamer, the Garib, has been destroyed by a mine off tbe German coast in tbe North sea, while a third Nyrwcgian ship, the Begin, has been torpedoed or de streyed by a mine off Dover. All the Regin’s crew were saved by British destroyers. Although it is not stated in the dispatches from Berlin, it is believed that the Carbi’s crew also escaped. Thus tbe neutral States continue to be the greatest sufferers from the mine and submarine warfare. It is considered possible, however, that one or two British steamers suffered a similar fate, one being overdue and another being reported blown up off Rye. As a result ef the activity of German submarines, the British admiralty tonight announced that tbe Irish and North channels have been restricted for navigation from today. “Paper Refused.” If there is a less courteous way of terminating a subscription than by refuesing to Mkc the paper from the post office or to receive it from the carrier, we have never yet heard of it. No one caring to pre serve bis self-respect would adopt such a course if he stopped to con aider it for a moment, for he conld not help seeing the most elementary principles of courtesy demand that be should intimate directly to tbe editor or publisher his desire and purpose.^ But the matter becomes more serious when the subscription whose discontinuance is thus rude­ ly sought is in arrears lor a greater length of time In such a case it is downright dishonesty. He who refuses to receive his paper is say­ ing to tbe publisher that he doesn’t intend to have anything more to do with him,—even to paying him what he owes him. But do Christ­ ians ever do this! W-e-1-1, wc don’t know whether Christians do it or not, but we’ll make affidavit to the faet that some church mem­ bers do it, and we’ll summon every religions newspaper editor and publisher in jhe land to back up the affidavit.

Is Kissing Al Assault? Isitposeible fo ra man to be kissed against his will by a more or less pretty woman! This is the real question to be detetmined in the Distnet of Columbia in a snit for damages brought, by a gentle­ man who alleges he was kiSBed by force in one of the theaters of the capitol. The kisser was one of the actre*sea playing at the theater, and tbe plaiutiff decribes her act of osculation as a legal assault, declares it subjected him to great mentol pain and anguish and feels that he is entitled to 91,600 by way of compensation. Men have died before now for the sake of a wo­ man’s kill, and many of them have paid a king’s ransom for it, but iu these modern days man seems to be becoming a changed animal. Many of them glory in being bachelors and hot long ago a yonng fellow, in the South, formerly the region of chivalry, and devotion to the 4*eternal feminine” jumped out of a second story window and brake several ribs rather than let a pretty woman kiss him. Still perhaps it may be argued that it was the pub­ licity which counted rather than the thing itself. Many women really object to being kissed, and many others pretend to object; but when the assailant is a really pret­ ty woman, dees a man ever in his heart object! Even if he affects to fight against it, does, not his will give consent to the crutal outrage upon propriety! This will be the question before the Washington jury, and it will-involve an slabor ate discussion of masculine human nature and the effect upon it of tbe change in the feminine attitude to­ ward men.—Baltimora Sun.

Deaton was called up­ on to issue a marriage license' a domestic tragedy was brought to Iightthat would have famished excellent material for a Bret Harte 9 tory. Some 20 years ago A. 0. Gibbons and Lucy Litaker, after a trip into South Carolina, decided in- the foolishness of their young love that they would “make-believe” they were married. The story they told of the Palmetto Btate wedding was believed and they set up house­ keeping at Woodleaf, in Rowan county. For a score of years they have lived the life tranquil life of a raal couple, rearing the nine children that have come into their home. But recently the awful white plague laid its band upon the ma­ ternal head of this family and she has come down close to the grave. Last night she called a neighbor to her bedside and told the secret that she said she could not -take with her into the Great Beyond. 9 he was expecting the death angel before the morning, she said, and she was anxious tor a ceremony that would legally bind her to the msa she bad loved and lived with for all these years. Her story was thought to be the ravings of a weakued mind, but the hnsban corroborated her state* ments and also expressed a great desire to have the dying woman’s request granted'. Sosorne one was sent for a prea­ cher and two men in an automobile were dispatched to Salisbury for the license. They rushed back to Woodleaf a9 rapidlv as possible so tbat the ceremony might be per­ formed before the arrival of the silent boatman.

Mr. Editor:—If you will allow me a few lines in yeur paper, I should like to say a few words in regard to the proposed county dog law. Our State and county must be getting ia a bad shape financially, that a rev­ enue of from one to two dollars must be raised on the dogs for the support of the schools. IbeIieve in taxing the'dog same as the horse ac­cording to valuation Ataxof two dollars on a dog would be putting him up equal with a two hundred dollar horse, when the dog is not worth anything only for a little sport, an excessive tax like that, is not fair. It is a man’s privelige to have a dog if he wants one—feed him, keep him at hotne. hunt with him and pay tax on him according to his valuation. The one that finds nothing of mere importance to talk about, should get out in th6 country awhile and work and he will soon want a dog too, for country people like amusement as well as town peo­ ple.

Aa oatbreak of smallpox in tie Arizona Legislatore forced both houses to adjourn for two days while the Assembly chamber was fumigated. The folks who tried to get the North Carolina Ldgislatnre to adjourn in 49 days might ac­ complish it by distributing a few smallpox germs among the dirt in the Senate chamber and Assembly ball.—Statesville Landmark. Oor Fut Pace. Charity and Children. It is aot tbs war or tbs destrno tion of the cotton market that is the main trouble with us; it is the furious pace at which wo bavo boon living. Wo have made cotton at 5 cents a pound many a year, but not on a basis of 12 cents a pound, and that is exactly where the shoe is pinehing now. If oar people had practiced anything like the economy tbey practiced twenty years ago, we could tide over the present crisis with a smile. Last year was one of the best crop years we have had in a decade. Crops were easily and cheaply made, too, for the weather was generally dry and little time was lost. Bnt we han become high rollers, and onr wants outran onr in eome. We became reckless in onr expenditures and took all manner of risks. We were plungers, and we plunged one time too many. However the conn try is not utterly rained. We will get oat of th° mire somehow, and it is to be hopjd wejwill learn the lesson this peculiar financial string­ ency has brought- The man. who pitches in and stakes the balance of what is left him on cotton 1 will get next fall what is coming to him He will be hopelessly stranded, and will quit, not only cotton, bat every other business. He is the wise man whe will profit by the collapse of the market, and change his methods of farming. And there is another class of our people who are iu tronble and their trouble is heavier and more hopeless than the farmer’s, and that is the time mer- chat. Many a man who started in the year 1915 rich is now a bank- rapt. He is helpless in the hands of his creditors, and to the honor of the oreditora, be it said, they are exercising patience and sym­ pathy in this deplorable erisis. But with all their patience many a time merchant will have to sur­ render at last, for there is no chance for him to get relief within the next few years. The credit business has received its death blow: The pluoger can plunge no more. In many sections of our State our business methods have been all wrong. Farmer and mer chant have staked everything they h^d on a single crop and lost. We are living in the future. If we had adopted the good old rnle “pay as you go,” we weald not have gone so fast or so far. The disaster of 1914 Will worlc out ulti mate good to our peopled It will check ourjpeed and compel us to take onr bearings. It will put the South on a solid business basis, and and when prosperity does come to us it will be the real thing and not a painted shadow. Dr. Kilgo said at the Orphaqage several years ago the next panic would be the auto mobile panic. There is no donbt £a the world that the automobile 0is helped to put us in the hole we are in today.

WEDNESDAY. MARCH 10. 191S Number m “VIEW WITH w Oemocrats Recognizing Blunders of Party. Mm Like Thomae Taggart of Indiana Are Beginning to See the Light— Appeal for a More Con. etructive Attitude. Au Interview with Mr. Tbomas Tag­ gart la suggestive in several directions and In none more strikingly than In (hat of national politics. Mr. Taggart’s immediate purpose is to invite attention to the important bearing of railway prosperity to the welfare of all the rest of us; but be­ tween the lines one may read, without violence to the context, ,a subtle ap­ peal to the Democratic party-for a more sensible and constructive atti­ tude toward business, big and little. The truth is that the Democratic party, under the guise of so-called ,'progressivlsm,, or “forward looking,” Is rapidly approaching the lamentable situation In which it labored for long years, beginning with 1896, when every man who had a dollar hoped for •continued Republican ascendancy. Men of property and influence, like Taggart , and many other Democrats who could readily be named by any­ one, are becoming alarmed. This apprehension is not restricted to their interest in the Democratic party, but comprises also^thelr respon­ sibility as citizens and' business men for the commercial and industrial wel­ fare of the whole people, themselves included. What is it going to profit Democrats of property and standing In the community if they assist, the Democratic party into power only to injure and perhapB destroy their own and their neighbors’ prosperity? For the Democratic party, in state, or nation, to assume the friendly atti­ tude toward business indicated In Mr. Taggart’s argument for increased pas­ senger fares might bring down-upon it the objurgations of the destructive agitators of which the party/always has so large and varied an assort­ ment; but it might tend to avert for a time the disaster which seems certain to overwhelm It unless something hap pens to abate the present deplorable condition of business, borne down as It is by decreasing Incomes and con­ stantly increasing toll In taxes levied by stefe. national and local govern­ ments.—Exchange. Democratic Extravagance. When the followers of Jefferson come to meet In convention In 1916. unless they bring forth works meet for repentance during the next two years, they will find It a little difll- cult to make their acts seem con­ sistent with his teachings. Unless they take some steps to change the conditions they have created with their approopriations, which Mr. Fitz­ gerald, chairman of the house com­ mittee on appropriations, correctly de­ scribed as a "horrible mess,’’ they may find that, under the unusual con­ ditions likely to prevail, governmental economy has become an issue of some political importance. lXTiey may experi­ ence some embarrassment In confront­ ing a people smarting under the nag­ ging irritation of taxes, the necessity for which the European war will faii satisfactorily to explain, and who, in their inability to make both erids meet, will be psychologically unable to value properly the new freedom. The dominant party must not be sur­ prised If, in view of the party record, many shall be unkind enough to call the demand in the platform of 1912 for a return to Democratic simplicity and economy only “molasses to catch flics.”—William Howard Taft, In. Sat­ urday Evening Post Many at Fault. "Never before in our history,” says Colonel-Roosevelt, "were so many peo­ ple suffering from Iaclc of employment (brought no fault of their own.”—Ex­ change. No fault of their own? Why,- a lot of them voted the Democratic ticket directly, didn't they? . responds the Milwaukee Free Press. And a lot of them voted it indirectly, by voting the Bull Moose ticket, did they not? And what was the result? Why, more Democratic tariff tinkering, and its un­ failing results In slack times1 and un­ employment. Colonel Roosevelt himself has been blatning the business depression on the Democratic administration. So what about .the "fault” of the people who voted-for It with their eyes open and plenty I of warning" that if the party of free trade was put;,in power history would repeat: iftb.lf?

They ask for aid for the people who have no “work or money,” with which to obtain food, clothing inel aod shelter. The report says farther “Hundreds there are who would gladly work, who ask no 'renter favor than the opportunity to earn their daily bread. They look with longing eyes for the job chat is not in sight.” It seems that he working people of Wilmington sre in an awfnl plight.

These people were well fed and clothes and Woodrow Wilson and the the whole Dem­ ocratic papers aud politicians told them that the eost of living was too high and if they wonld vote for Woodrow Wilson and the whole Demoeatie lay out, that they wonld reduce their expenses. They voted for Wilson, and he has re­ duced the eost of living because the poor fellows have nothing to buy with aud therefore it cost them nothing to live, bnt for charity they wonld starve . to death.

Just, what is the status of tho bank nobody knew* exaetly and probably will net know until there is a thorough overhauling; but enough is known, it is said, to show that the bank’s bus; cess is in very bad shape. The bank was organized several years ago with a capital of 95,000. Tho directors are J. A. Lyerly. G. M. Brown, B. M. Boeebro aud Chaa. Fleming. J. T. Williamson. Jr., is the cashier.

Somefoiks^have more "Brass' than brains, aqd are determined to rule or ntin. So gentlemen, take your medicine. The peopie’of North Carolina have two thingts to'Jbe thankful for—the Iegislature hAs adjourned and Con­ gress is a thing of the past. The legislature was composed of Rianv steA Wholoved the dog and loved theiriiiorning tonic, if we are to judge them by the Way they voted. The ship purchase bill, the pet of Woodrow Wilson, failed to get through Congress and the nation is saved millions of dollars and maybe war. The anti-jug'law goes into effect in North Carolina on April 1st. Thirsty ones should now prepare for war in time of peace, for it is going to be a long time between drinks. It would have been better had, the North Carolina legislature for 1915 not been called to meet in Raleigh. Two lives would have been saved and the State would have been in better shape than it is today. . The Charlotte Observer wants to know “what one can expect of a legislature that is afraid of the free nigger and the yaller cnr dawg?” Not a thing, beloved. We expected nothing froni this legislature and received nothing, so we are not dis­ appointed. It is a little less thant two months till the municipal election. We hope that a good, strong, nonpartisan ticket wilt be put in the field this spring—a ticket that we,can all work for, feeling that the best.interests of the town will be served by the gen­ tlemen who compose it.. : Democrats used to charge us 8 per e^nt. interest when. we borrowed money but when the, Republicaos Aveatin porter in 1895‘they repealed the 8 per cent, interest,law and made it 6 per cant,. It has remained as the RepHblicans put it for 20. years, but how the’ Demoerats are trying to raise it aj|Wn to 8. Iftheydo then next year they will reap wbat they sow now. ' \ Giory to Repreaentative Leoaard, of Davidson county. His county would not Vote'for good roads, so he pasaed a bil! allowing the commis­ sioners of hfe county, three Demo­ crats and three Republicans, to issue $300^000 i» bonds to use for building roads. Thismieansthatdur neigh­ bor county is cemihg out of the mud. The peapla of Davidson may cuss Mr. Leonard now, but in a few years they will wake ’ip to the fact that he is a great man._______ RepresentativeFrank Hanes, of Forsyth, who introduced the bill to provide fqra finance committee for Davie coitivty, has'also introduced a bill to abolish the office of Treasurer in this county. The Record favors both of thieve bills, and hopes - that the legislature will pass them'. Re­ presentative Hendricks, of Davie, bitterly opposes these bills, but to save us, we cannot see why. The Relild bqaigdyocated the abolish- meAtof tui^ceasui'erts office fir thepasttvjpj^ears, knowing th^t the taxpa||rajn the county woutd be saved’w m en $800 and $1,000 per year by,jetting the banks handle the money/ As to the finance com­ mittee for Davie county, we cut see no objection to it. . If everything is in ship-ahape order, why should any­ one object to such a committee. Mr. Hendtickfe, we believe, does not want to represent Davie in the next eral assembly. He says- nothing; of a deg law, although he told us before going to RaJeigh. that he favered dog law and would past it if the peo­ ple of the county wanted it. , AatnJag Bill Is Hjwr Law. Raleigh, Masch 5.—Speaker Bow­ ie laid before the House the substi­ tute for the anti-jug bill agreed on by the conference committee and al­ ready passed by the Senate. Repre­ sentative Grier explained the situa­ tion and the substitute1 to Iinit de­ liveries of spirituous liquors to one quart in fifteen days t«i any person and five gallons of malt liquors to any person in the same period was passed. Therewas only one vote against the bill, which was ordered enrolled for1 ratification. This law meatis that the boys who have been consuming four or fiv? quarts per week will have to cut down the size of their driajcs considerable. It al­ so means that Oie rich man will be the only one able to keep a supply, as the express charges on a quart will be about as much as it has been on a gallon. The poor folks who think they are compelled to have a stimulant will get busy and learn to drink beer, as they will be allowed to order live gallons !if they ean raise the-wherewithall.

" Davie voted bonds for roads, and when she asked the United Stotes government for funds to help her, build good roads she got what s& asked for. Davidson did not vote bonds for roads, though the people of that coanty were given the same opportunity as the people of Davie, and when Davidson asked the United StatoB government for funds with which to help build good roads she did not get what she asked for. This should be a warning to the people of Yadkin. The time may come when they will want Federal or State aid. The time may eome when it will be possible for them to get such aid in the construction of roads. Govern­ ments help those who kelp* them­ selves.—Winston Journal.

Each teacher may make his or her banner according to their individual taste, and. may use- any color or colors.

The Next Cotton Crop. It is safely conceded that the farmers of this country will this-year raise more wheat, oats and corn than has ever been known, and it is as safely conceded that the acreage in cotton will- be reduced. The size of this reduction, however, is a matter open to dispute. The crop authori ties seem to have agreed on a reduc­ tion of 25 per cent from last year’s acreage of 36,722,000. Itis figured out that on 27,542,000 acres, a crop of 12,000,000 bales could be 'grown. If the statistician bad not gone into this detail of the situation, we would have had more faith in the 25 per cent estimate. A crop of 12,000,000 bales sounds too small to be consid­ ered. It seems like barking back to an impossible past. WhentheSouth again drops to a 12,000,000 balecrep, something <$ber than reduced acre- agelis going’ to be the cause of it. —Charlotte Observer.

Owiug to this meeting coming on Easter Sunday s >me difficulty is being experienced in securing speakers, but it is hoped that Miss Byrd, State Secretary, can be with us, also Baraca Saleeby, of Salisbury. ■ An effort is being made to secure Mr. J. H. Whicker, an en­ thusiastic Baraca and prominent at­ torney of Winston, to be with us. We can assure the public that an interesting program will be render­ ed, and it is hoped that every Bara- ca and Philathea in the county who can, will be present. Tell vour class about the convention next Sunday. Notice to Delegates. AU those who mean to attend the Baraca-Philathea Convention to be­ held at Cooleemee on Saturday and Sunday, April 3 4.1915, are request­ ed to send their names to W. S. Sut­ ton, Gooleemee, N.

An effort is being made to secure the attendance of all the young men who are not attending any Sunday school, We have IS members en­ rolled with an average attendance of 10. We have the best teacher in the county. We take 15 copies of the Baraca Herald. We have paid our State pledge of $5, and pay a month to support a native mission- ! estly conies in fashion ary in China. Our class will be well | the petticoat is testored. represented at the County Conven­ tion at Cooleemee. and the State Convention at Raleigh. We have never failed to have a representative at the State Conventions. Our pas­ tor has resigned, and we have called Rev. Littleton, and the class hopes to be enthused with new life and do a greater .work than ever before. Didn’t Want Prizes. Some two or three months ago the editor of The Record offered a pearl cet class pin for the best class report sent in between that date and the April convention at Cooleemee. It seems that we made a mistake by offering this prize, as the reports quit coming in and the column has been running blank ever since. In the future we think it would be well to offer no premiums. But we want the class reports and believe every class in the county should send them in, as we contribute the space free of charge. There are about 50 Classes in the county, and we ought to get at least five reports' every week. We want all the classes.to do better m the future. Wky Modesty May Cone. Greenville (S..C-) News. Fashion notes of recent date should prove interesting to others besides the fair sex. for in these notes, as commented by the Dry Goods Economist, there is joyful news for the manufacturers of cot­ ton goods. That which was aban­ doned is abont to come ones more into favor, says the Economist, in speaking of the white petticoat. I: this be true, and if the fashion sheets say so it will be true, then are the times brightening for the cotton goods manufacturers. Some three years ago these gentleman became aware of the fact that the woman were not wearing as. much cotton as they formeily were wont to do. The demand for cotton goods fell sff . No amount of impor­ tunate pleadings could change the dictate of Dame Fashion, for she is a tyrant and ordinarily will not listen to no reason. But now it is said that she has taken it into her head to see her followers once more attired in ample costumes. What is the reason tor thist It is hard to tell, but the friend ol many folks hereabout—A. BI Wil­ liams—writing in the Roanoke Times—thinks possibly the reason is that there are no more sensations. People are no -longer shocked. They are even careless abont eos- tumes, so why should the daring iasbionS' continnet Interest haB been dulled. An impression oft repeated loses its foree to a consid­ erable extent. That is a psycho logical fact. In this day of sophis deaden, of superficially and flimsy sham, the observations of an “old- timer” such as Mr. Williams, come like a breath of pure mountain air, after one has been in tobaceo- smoked banquet fumed room. Here is a part of bis comment on the return of that article of feminine attire which for three or four years has been laid ouheshelf: “ When the banishment of the petticoat all the details of the iemale form beeaoie as familiar as the details of the form of a lamp post. Ankles have become the most obvious features of every eity and town landscape—and more than ankles. Pains have been taken to demonstrate to geoeral view every curve and line element of configuration. The women who used to trip with anxious and jeal ous care to show nothing, stride now like grenadiers and make frank confessions and expositions. Nobody torus to look at the tight­ est and thinnest or most abbreviat­ ed or scanty skirt So as these are no more sensations or thrills, mod- again and But it TO KILL MILLIONAIRES. P--Ir. Were to Be Biowa Upb Wealthy Men Slain and Entire City to Be Pillaged. New York, March 2 —Au at­ tempt, to blow op the Catholic Cathedral and the arrest of two men by detectives who bad been informed for months of their activi­ ty was followed at police headquar­ ters by announcement that the ar­ rest had frustrated au attempt to kill with bombs Andrew Carnegie, .John D. Rockefeller, Sr., John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and other wealthy men. Theanarchists according to the police were to inaugurate in New York city a reign of terror similar to the days of the French lie volution. It was part of the plot, the poliee assert, for gangs of men armed with rifles and revolvers to appear simultaneously in various parts of the city and to shoot and pillage. The biggest banks of New York city were to be blown up. Many weabby men were to be slain. The wrecking of the cathedral was to be the signal for the opening of the campaign. The next , move according to the police was to place bombs in the homes of Andrew Carnegie, the Rockefellers and Cornellous Vanderbilt. j^- Yrivmtrmi i' ""n rii ■■ t o Legislature A Disappointment. So far the legislature now in ses eion at Raleigh has proved a disap­ pointment to the progressive citi aenship of our State. Itseems not to know its own mind, but is timid, halting, and seemingly afraid to shoulder resposibility. No sane man wants to see anything done that will unsettle business or delay the restoration of normal condi­ tions, but there are domestic pro­ blems that call lor courageous treat­ ment regardless. of whether the war in Europe goes for a year or six years. Let us hope that wiser councils will prevail and that the Solonswill have the courage to legislate for the - best interests of our growing State without seeking to envade responsibility by referr­ ing a mere statute to the people for ratification.

Ag* HtEE IH E FOLLl Demonstrated by the Last Sev« enteen Months. Abnormal Foreign Demand Ia Sttrnu* Iatlng Industry, but the Tariff Handicap Is Proving a Hard Thing to Overcome. The books of that barometric con­ cern, the United Stales Steel corpora­ tion, indicate not that America ia ris­ ing to .prosperity on a high tide of in­ dustry, but that tiie turn has come and that business is beaded upward after the long continued downward trend. The low mark was touched in No­ vember last, as gauged by the steel business, and February opened wltb 4,348,671 tons of unfilled orders on the books of the big corporation, a total a round million better than on Decem­ ber I, 1914. But compare this figure with two years ago, before the Wilson-Under- wood attack upon American industry. The business on hand on February I, 11113, was 7,827,368 tons, or 3,678,797 more than under the present industry- smashing tariff. Even the extraordinary demands from abroad due to the war, while helping to offset the directs of a tariff inimical to Americau "production, have not lifted the volume of tbe steei busl- nessio the level at which the incom­ ing .Democratic administration found it. ieven months of tariff tinkering and gAehteen months of free-trade tariff ith-ye left n dividendtpaylng Industry struggling to inoet expenses, the stock­ holders forced to forego returns, while Us mills are running at less than 60 per cent of their capacity. Yet there is cluee^fn this figure, for the operations of tbS Steel corporation have been doubled In the past two months, duo wholly to the extraordi­ nary. conditions of a great war over, coming to sonic extent the damage done to American production by aati- American legislation at: the American .capital. Industry, thrust donvn and pros­ trated by the Wilsoni policies, has scrambled to its feet 'again; and rIs' making a great fight, but it is still handicapped by the tariff. Ilow high would be tjh© tide ot pros­ perity if gains incident, to abnormal •foreign demand wero added to the ordinary business ot this country under the well-tried uystein of protec­ tion, Instead of being ,swallowed up by losses due to the folly of free trade? Explanation* tin Order. In the 1912 campaign it was pos­ sible for Ihe Democraim to make many statements regarding the tariff with­ out challenge from tide average voter. There had-been a protective tariff for sixteen years, and tlfore was no op­ portunity for the younger generation of voters to understand I the real mean­ ing of conditions under a low tariff. Even tli? statement thjat the tariff was responsible for the bi(j h cost of living, therefore, seemed to be accepted by a large number ot voters. .... ■ . Even the DemocrabicLvpters, how­ ever, are not likely to !listen to such an argument In patience during the next campaign. TheKri will have to be some explanation of'the deluge of imports that threw ecu m any working­ men. out of employrheitt before the Eu­ ropean war began.' fEltere will have to be so,me explanations as to the manner in which, tihe, country might meet the deluge -of Imports after the. war Ib over.

It has been,asserted by a die ti ngoished public official residing 'O theW hiteHoase at Washing- »u, Ihat busineas conditions in the DuitedStateaare psychological, a mere state of miud, and this utter­ ance from the dais is repeated and reiterated by lesser and subserv­ ient officials until people of a cer­ tain temperament reach that de­ gree of hypnosis which compels belief. Such persons eaanot be awakened from the eataleptio state date until the master hand is waved before their eyes, and the master hand at present is other­ wise busily engaged. But the majority of Americans, happily, are not so easily influenc­ ed by the spell of words, and these will tint! nutriment for thought in a statement, prepared by one of the country’s largest and most reliable commercial agencies, show­ ing the number of failures occur' mg iu the twelve months ending October 31, 11)14, in the same period of IIiri-13, and in the pre­ ceding calendar years back to 1873. This shows the number of failures ia the period first mentioned, No­ vember I, 11)13, to October 31, 1914, to have been 17,418 with liabilities totaling $357,345,645. In the next preceding 11! months .here were failures with liabilities if $250,802,536, a total for the two years of 33,050 failures and 1608,148 181 liabilities. In the entire history of the country there has been nothing to equal this in commercial destructiveness. Pre­ vious to this the high reeord of lisusters was made in thecataclys- oic year of 1893 when there were 15,242 failures with liabilities of #346,779,889'. ‘ The “ panic’’ of 1907 resulted in failures in 1908 jumbering 15,690, with the com­ paratively small liabilities of $222,- 316,684, It must be observed that the figures for 1914 do not include the final mouths of November and December, and that they cover but three months of the war period and those the first three, in which the effects ol the war upon-Ameri can business conditions could not yet have become serious to the poi ot of disaster. It is quite plain that this unprecedented record of commercial destructiveness is en tirely due to the acts and policies of the Wilson administration.

Have you ever thought of the waste that we southern people al­ low to exist with us! Our great­ est money crop that amounts to millions: of Jlollart annually to the south is not cared for as much as oar northern and western neigh­ bors care for crops that do not compare with our crop, King Got ton. It is horrible as we take a look over the country, and especi­ ally in the farther sontfi. to see cotton exposed to the weather, around gins and oil mills you see thousands of pounds going to waste decreasing in value each day. Now it is no surprise that we are not better off in a financial- way. We are the most extravagant people in. the UnitOd States. The western farmers have barns for their grain, live stock, places to protect their main crop, bat all the southern people have the best chance of all the people of the whole country, but we let those go by wasted and then we are always howling hard times. When we southern people learn to save what God has been so good In blessing us with we will then begin to move taster and we : will then be able to loan funds to eth: er sections, of our country, instead of us heretofore been frequently (-ailing en other sections of the UnitedStatestoextend to us the needed financial assistance in Or­ der that we might be able to exist with bead above board.

Maybe we can find a man two years hence who will not be afraid of a hound dog. It is said that some of our citizens hung around Raleigh during the last days of the legislature same as Grant hung around Richmond in 1861. Was it to prevent the county treasurer’s office in Davie being abolished? Our office holders care nothing for the “dear people.” AU they want is their salaries. Had this net been the ease, the taxpayers of Davie would have been saved nearly a thousand dollars a year by abolishing the office of county treasurer. The last legislature passed a bill making the Government Post Road through Forsyth, Davie and Iredell, a part of the State Central Highway. If this will make the road any bet­ ter, then we are glad it is to be a part of the State Central Highway. The Republican platform contains the following plank: ‘‘Fifth. We Javor a State-wide IegHlized primary, applicable to all parties and for all offices ” This is why we wonder how our representative,. Mr. Hen­ dricks, could have Davie county ex­ empted from the State-wide primary law. ’ We^uppose he asked that our county be exempted.

W. T. BtTZER, Chiu. Comm. Great is Tke King! Long Live Tllc Condition of Tfce Ceveland Bank. King!! Editor Record:—I note ,a few re* tnarkn editorially in last week’s issue, with reference to a bill to abolish tfae office of eounty treas­ urer, and also appoint a finance committee for Davie eonnty. Per­ sonally I favored abolishing the office of county treasurer at the ex pi ration of the term of the present incumbent, for two reasons. It would save the taxpayers „jof the county, at least $800 or $1,000 per year, and £ heard a rumor that one of the banks in the county offered io disburse the conpty fnnds free of charge, and pay .the county, in terest on monthly balances, in other words do the work for noth­ ing and pay the county extra on deposits. Now as to the finance committee. I never saw the bill, but if it contained, (as I under­ stand it did) a condition requiring the employment by the county ,of another attorney at the taxpayers expense, I would have opposed it, and its well that it did not pas1*. The thing to have been done was for the Commissioners to have bir ed an expert accountant and had all the county officers books audit­ ed. Ifthe Commissioners would rent out the old court honse, or better still, tear it down and sell the brick, the money derived from that would have paid for auditing the books. Instead of doing that, you will find on the reeords in the Register of Doeds office that Mr. C. 6. Bailey, as Chairman, on De­ cember 5tb, 1914, signed an order leasing and renting one half of. the ground floor to A. T. Giant, Jr., for a term of'3 years, or until the iirst Monday in December, 1917, tor services rendered as eounty at­ torney during tlfe ereetion ot the eourthoste and jail and eounty home. Some people are mighiy liberal with the cohuty funds and the county property. I shall nor at this time do mneh criticising of Davie’s . representative. I guess he did the best he could uoder the instructions of the maehine bosses whom he possibly imagines are the Republiean party—a disillusion­ ment is liable to take place before the 1916 election. A falary bill should have been enacted for Pa- vie county by all meains, but the salary for the office of sheriff might h^ve interfered with the inaliecr able rights of a ' certain standing candidate who hopes to swing on to the.perejmmon next year. The State primary law was passed bnt Davie county voters are denied the privilege of voting, for the men who are to hold the county offices until the day of the election..

InMglnatlon must have had a heap-to do with Its name, but one : thing ■. is certain: ' the serpent will And the >crawling rather bad if he attempts to enter this Eden, for the eand is hot; .the alkali and the cactus are there, 'so it must be a serpent- less Bden. The settlers hare made a long canal and bring their watpr many miles. They say the soil Is splendid, and they don't have much stone; but it Is such a flat place! I wonder how they get the water to run when they irrigate.We saw iaany . deserted homes. Hope's skeletons they are, with their yawning doors and windows Mke eye: less sockets. Some of the houses, which looked as it they were deserted, held families.' We camped near one euciii. Mrs.O’Shaughnessy and I went up to the house-to buy some eggs. A hopeless-looking woman came to the door. The hot winds and the alkaU duBt had tanned her skin and bleached her hair; fbot?:’ were a gray-brown.' Her eyes were blue, but were so tired- looking that;I could hardly see for the tears. ''No," she said, ‘‘we ain’t got no eggs. We ain't got no chickens. Tou see this ground Is sandy, and last year the wind biowed awful hard and all the grain. Mowed out, so we didn’t have no chance to raise chickens. We bad no feed and no money to buy feed, so we had to kill ourtchickehs to save their lives! We et ’em. They would have starved anyway."—The Woman Homesteader, In the Atlantic. FACTOR IN MODERN WARFARE ' Commanding Generals Could Not Handle Present Enormdbe Armies Without the Motor. With millions of men draws up In battle array at one and the> same time, to handle ,them effectively 'by old-time methods would have been impossible.

The motor; In short, has "speeVled up" the war In a way. that could newer have been dreamed Wf by former gen­ erations. Never hsve the movement's of troops been sty rapid; for, InsteacP of men having tty 1Wait for ammunition and food supplfes, these have been conveyed by mdtor wagons which can travel, if need/be, much faster than the armies th em eelves.—Charles It.

Former President Taft, in the opin­ ion of Richard A. Ballinger of Seattle, secretary of the interior In the Taft cabinet, .will not be a candidate for '.the Republican nomination for presi­ dent, unless circumstances should arise that would make Mr. Taft the most likely candidate. Judge Bal­ linger is confident the Republicans will win in the next national election. ‘‘I am not authorized to speak for Mr. Taft,” said Judge Ballinger. “But my opinion is Jhat he has no thought of becoming a candidate next year. If a condition should arise whereby the nomination of Mr. Taft would appear to be the wisest thing for the Repub­ lican convention to do, and he should consent to have his name considered, I have no doubt he would be nominated and triumphantly elected. His admin­ istration has been amply vindicated and every day he is gaining in popu­ larity. "The Republicans will win next year beyond a doubt. I base this opinion on the utter failure of the present admin­ istration to comprehend the necessities of business, and its apparent inability to grasp the administrative functions of government. This is exemplified in all its legislative policies. There can be no doubt the American people want peace, but they also want our flag re­ spected. Peace at any price, is not th< slogan of Americans; peace with hon or is. "The Progressive party appears to be practically extinct in almost all sec tlons,” added Judge Ballinger. “There •fore, with the Democratic administra ■tlon discredited with.the people, as il appears to be, I am confident the ol( 'organization will triumph in the elec tion of next year, electing not only tlx president; but the house- Of represeuta 'tives.” .. . rest.

"The principles of the Republicai ;party do not differ in any materia! ! manner from the principles laid dowr when the party was organized In 1856,' declared Edward R. Tinker of North Adams, Mass. “The first vote I cast was for Henry Clay in 1844, and I voted for the first Republican candi­ date for president and for every Re­ publican candidate since then. In my opinion the Republican party today is as sound as it was in the beginning', and is just- as pro­ gressive as any political party. It does.not need any advice how to run the government. It was the construc­ tive policies of the Republican party I that made this nation great, and the principle of protection, which has been, end is, the most important principle of 'the party, is just as great today as it was in the beginning. You will see that in _the_ next election the people will be heard, and that protection and Republicanism will come back, not­ withstanding ,cfi!e party has not had a -new ldea in oO years. "I have seen defeat and'victory in the 70 years I have voted, and the con­ ditions today, as I observe them, are more propitious for Republican suc­ cess next year than at any time when the Republicans, out of power, were seeking to return to power. "I believe in a greater navy and a greater aryiy," added Mr. Tinker. "If we are to preserve peace and the in­ tegrity of our nation, we must be pre­ pared.” ;sville . N. C.

Trying to Force Italy to Fight. Rome, March 16.—The political pressure to force Italy to pledge her future course either to the empires of central Europe or the Allies today is believed to have about reached a climax. It has been increasing for weeks. There is reliable informa­ tion that the German ambassador oas given formal assurance that Ger­ many eventually will be able to over­ come Austria’s resistance to Italy’s territorial concession demands and chat Germany arid Austria would assist Italy’s ambitions in the east­ ern Mediterranean. The German tmbassador said ^nat the marine iupremacy of England and France would finally crush Italy. The Al­ lies’ representatives have taken a iifferent position. They have unan­ imously said that the defeat of Ger- nany and Austria is inevitable, even vithout Italy’s aid and that if Italy .eeps out she will get nothing when !Re settlement is made..

WHY THEY DON'T SUCCEED. What is the matter with the home merchant? Don't he want to sell goods? Does he rejoice wHen his iieifrhbors send their cash to distant stat^3 for goods which" he sells as cheap? Certainly he don't. If the home merchant would spend one- tenth as much advertising his goods in his own county as the average mail order house spends, he could keep hundreds of dollars at home which now go to that happy bourne from whence no dollar ever returns to Davie. There is a mail order house in Ghicago that spends not Ie^s than $500 in Davie county every year advertising their goods. We don’t believe every merchant in this town lumped together spends more than $500 per year in telling their own people what they have to offer them in bargains. The Record has stood forthehome merchant since it first saw the light of day and has done all it honestly could in discour­ aging the mail order business. Tbe Record could fill its columns with foreign Ads if it would do so. We believe the home merchant should help us to light., their battles - ^ife are doing all we can to get the peo­ ple to trade at home, but with the mail order houses flooding the town and county with advertising matter and the home merchant refusing to invest a c^nt in advertising his own goods, we find it to be an uphill pull. It seems that we are trying to help those who will not help them­ selves. We hope that some day the merchants will wake up and realize that the home.paper is tbeir 'btst friend and. does-more-for them than any other agency. Want To Discontinue Trains. The Southern Railroad has made application to the corp< ration com­ mission for permission to discon­ tinue six passenger trains in this sec- Xion among them being Nos. 27 and 28, running between Charlotte and Winston Salem. Should these two trains be discontinued we wou!d have but one train a day each wav. This would practically cut off travel oyer this road, and would be a severe blow to every town on the line. It is hoped that the commission will not permit the discontinuance of . these trains, Winston,- Charlotte. MourseviHe, Mocksviile, Cooleemee arid all the other towns should get busy and do all they can to prevent I losing these trains. yin. KsteiFoster snd family at­ tended the birthday dinner st Hj,r.

I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. I get so bad, I could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought I would die. He advised me to try Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quit taking other medicines. I decided fa take his advice, although I did not havu any confidence in it I have now been taking Black-Draught for Aree months, and it has cored me— haven’t had those awful sick headaches since I began using it I am so thankful for what Black- Draught has done for me.” .Thedford’s Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for de­ rangements of the stomach and liver, ft is composed of pure, vegetable herbs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet surely.

Tryjit ObtainaMB Whetoi-J;;:'v ■' Saud-Clay And Weaklier. Greensboro News. . From a published letter written by N. B. Mills of Statesville, to a citizen of Alexandercounty—Little Alex, being now in the throes of a road bond election campaign—it is1 learned that Iredell has an asnual road mainteoanee balauce of more than $11,000. This is 2.75 per cent of the cost of the county's roads, $400,000. This should dis­ pel any notion current that Iredell’s new roads, constituting a magnifi­ cent system, are being allowed to go to ruin. Thispaperhasinsieted that the past winter must furnish the final test of the sand clay road It has beeo our opinion that -the right mixture, the right drainage and the right admission of sunlight constitute a combination that with proper care, will stand the rigors of the most revere winter, and did in fact stand this past, win ter. An official, Mr. Spoon, rfe- believe, has pointed out, asdid theHaily News, that this season has furnished the lessons in sand-elay construction that must be studied. On this point Mr, Mills writes. 4Tf there is any doubt in the minds of any ol your people about our keeping our sand-clay roads in good shape, then I especially in­ vite them down to make a trip over the whole system. Of course, this has been an extremely hard season on the roads, and it/ia true that seme parts of our sand clay system were in bad shape during the ex­ treme b ad weather. However,> - 1wherever this was the case it was due not any defect in the sand clay road but always where the road was either improperly' located with­ out proper sunshine, or when, "the foundation was rotten or where we could not obtain a good surface soil. We believe that this winter has taught us a lesson, for we know what is needed to make the whole system of our roads as good as roads can be built, and for that matter right now with the little work we have done in rounding up the roads with scraper, our roads are in as good shape if not better than when they were built.” The sand-clay road ia very pro­ bably still the thing, for North Oarolina rural ways, if the I condi­ tions as to materials, drainage, etc,, can be met.I . Things Rotten In Iredell. According to outward and visible evidence and current talk, the primary Saturday afternoon was not an affair of whrch to be proud. This has noreference to the result, nor iB it charging one side with wrong over another. The agita­ tion, long drawn out, was very acute and feeling strong. The primary was a “soap box” affair, there being no legal restrictions or regulations, and there are charges and counter , charges of “dirty work.” We don’iknow whether any primary law passed by the Legislature, if one ie passed, will take care of the municipal situation in Statesville, but if it does not stringent legal regulations should be provided before another one is held. The tendency to corrupt methods in primaries and elections in Iredell—to use methods that good; citizens can not excuse nor long tolerate.witboot serious results —has been very noticeable in re cent years; and-unless a halt is called, and at once, the good name Cf the town and county will becoine a byword and a reproach,—States ville Landmark.

MAR. 31. 1915. - We feel sorry for the few Peopler in Davie who are not able to take their home paper, but we have no sympathy at all for the fellow who is too stingy to subscriber for his home paper. For the benefit of our unknown correspondent at Cana, who sendsus news of “prospereity” items, we are forced to tell the public that the Southern Railway shops at Spencer will be closed down during the month of April,, The pay roll at this shop is over $100,000 per month. More prosperity. We believe Yadkin county did the wrong thing in defeating the $200,- 000 bond issue for good roads. Yad- kin is a good county, but she has no railroad and not a mile of improved public road. It is no wonder that the young men of Yadkin leave for the West as soon as they ai e old enough to realize how far Yadkin is behind her neighboring counties We believe that within a few years our neighbor will see Her mistake and vote for road bonds. Here’s hoping she will do like Alexander did. AS A DEMOCRAT SEE IT. Congressman Gudger, now ex-Con- gressman, lost out in his fight for a judgship. A Pennsylvanian secured the position Gudger wanted, and it isaaid he is deeply disappointed. But we don’t know. Why didn’t he come home and go to work? Why, after being defeated for Congress should he expect his party to hand him*>ut something with'gold tassels on it? Some of these politicians make us weary.—Fuirbrother’s Ev­ erything. Once a man gets.a taste of office holding it is hard to shake him loose, it seems. They are all the same Congressman Gudger. whose term expired March 4, was moving heaven and earth to get into,another berth, long before the ohe he held got cold. The government is under no obliga­ tion to provide a roost for lame ducks.—Concord Times. * Mrs. “Stonewall” Jaduoa DewL Charlotte, March 25.—Mrs. Ito y Anna Jackson, better known as'Mra. “Stonewall" Jackson, widow of die great Southern, chieftain : and the woman whose name is a household word throughout the Southland—the first lady in North Carolina and the cherished of all those who claim Charlotte for their home—pawed away at her residence, 306 West Trade street yesterday morning- at 4:20 o’clock after an illness that had been serious for the past several months. She was 83 years old. r The immediate cause of Mrs. Jack­ son's death 'was pneumonia which was contracted four days ago. The news of Mrs. Jackson's death will shock and grieve the entire South, which has cherished with sin cere ardor the helpmeet of him who in his life-time was the powerful right arm of the embattled Souttiern Nation and the idol of its soldiery. Throughout thedecades that have elapsed since* the close of the great civil conflict. Mrs. Jackson has held unchallenged the position of promacy in the affections of this people. Mrs Jackson’s body will be taken at 9:30 tonight to Lexington, Va.. and there will be laid to rest by the side of her illustrious husband. Road Boads Lose in Yadkia. Yadkinville, March 25.—R oad boads were defeated in Yadkin to­ day by a narrow margin. With two townships yet to be heard from, it is estimated that the proposition to issue $200,000 in bonds for the construction of highways was lost by a majority of 80 votes, in the election held in the county today as provided for in the special act put through t^e late General Assembly by Representatives. CarterWilliams of this county. The result "of the election today, however, does not mean that Yadkin will have no permanent road work done. Mr. Williams also had a bill put through the Legislature, to­ wards the close of the session, pro­ viding that the county commissioners of this county shall issue $60,000 in bonds for the construction of roads. The act provides that this $60,000 shall be spent in building a rqad from Yadkinville east to the new iron bridge across the Yadkin river connecting Yadkin with Forsyth and also a road from Yadkinville north to the railroad at Rockford.

Aa Hike doesn’t speak our lancaage well, no one knows wbat gave him the “blues,” but'he knew immediately he was lowered, over the Oceana’s side that be was' in a foreign clime that wouldn't In the least appeal to bis health. So Mike, eight feet tali aud as full of fight as a Kilkenny cat, spied length of hose on the pier as he fell! out of his crate. He pressed a claw on one end of the piece of hose and gripped the other end in his beak.' Then, keeping the hose taut, he re­ leased his claw grip and the hose flew back and whacked him, on the T ight optic. Mike saw his first attempt was futile, but before he, could make a Becond "attempt a gang of longshore­ men pounced upon him. Mike, even though he had as black an eye as an ostrich could have, went after the lbngshoremen in such fash­ ion that most of them took to the rafters. Those who were not swift enough he clawed and pecked. Final­ ly they got a gunny sack over Mike’s head and subdued him. A charge of attempted suicide was preferred against Mike and be was put back in the ship’s hold to think anew on the sweetness of life. HAS TREATMENT FOR TETANUS German Scientist Tells How He .Sufr cessfully Combated the Dread Malady. A student in Professor von Behring’s laboratory accidentally broke a flask of tetanus germs, fragments of the glass penetrating among the tendons of the palm of his hand. Von Behring describes in the Deutsche Aledizim- tche Wocheiisehrift how he treated the case, which was about the m ast terri­ ble wound a man could have, io r mil­ lions upon millions of tetanus- germs ■ must have entered. After antiseptic treatment an injec­ tion of antitoxin was made in the arm. The wound healed, but after four days lockjaw set in in the legs, shouMers, jaws and eyelids. The right annpit was opened, the main nerve tranks isolated and infilrated with the moet powerful serum. The tetanus wan at once checked; it soon vanished and it has not recurred, though four montus have elapsed. Von Bebring says the poison of te-i tanus at once combines with the nerve: endings in the muscles. It enters’ the blood, where it can be neutralized by injections of antitoxin. The only hope in a serious case like that of this, student is to apply the serum directly; to the main nerve trunks. The Medi-; cal Record comments'' that as Von Beh­ ring does not mention the dried anti­ toxin as a wound dressing nor the in­ jection of the serum into the spine, he Indicates a radical modification in th e. treatm ent . Her Patriotic Desire. An English 'country vicar and his family received: a visit from a wealthy but extremely 1 plain-looking spinster relative, who .announced her intention of taking veto her residence at the vicarage far/th e period of Wie war, giving her reason for leaving Iier own abode the/existence of a large, mili­ tary camp/in its vicinity. Ass 1 she has always bf.en intensely patriotic the vicar ventured to inquire what 'objec­ tion shei had to. the presenoe Cf. the soldiers. “Well,”’ she replied, prirttly, “I have rtad Lord Kitchener's lettifir to his n ten as to how they shiould trestt WrOmen, and I have come to- the con-' clusiqf.i that the best way to assist them/ in carrying out his ad'rice is to remove temptation from their path as ranch as possible.”—London Mail.

Jury of 12 men in Circuit Judge "Davis’ court at Portland; Ore., de­ cided that shearing she ep in De­ cember and' leaving them exposed to , the rigors of w inter weather is cruelty to animals. After be­ ing out four hours the jury returned a verdict upholdiiig the decision of District Judge Jones in Iin Iqg Lester Willard, a Troutdale sheepuoan, $100. Humane society officials h andled the' case, and it was they who < Saused the arrest of Willard on December 19..
