JUNE 2. 1915 NUMBER 47 I l M B L E f i It Promises to Be the Keynote of Next National Campaign. Simmons-Underwocd Law Will Be Held Responsible for Lack of Em ployment for Thousands of Workingmen. Speaking for the Pacific Northwest, the Spokane Spokesman-Review in veighs against the new fiscal policy of the United States for which the existing federal administration is re sponsible. It sums up the situation at the present moment as follows: Passage of the Sintmons-Underwood tariff bill by the Democratic party carried the United States a long way toward the ultimate Democratic goal of free trade. That fact stands out in strong relief in a recent department of commerce review of the country’s for eign trade. Prior to the enactment of (he new law import. were almost evenly divided between the dutiable list and the free list. For example, of the total imports tin 1910, $755,811,- 39G were free of duty, and $801,636,034 were dutiable in 1911, $776,972,509 and $750,253,596 respectively. But in 1914, first full calendar year under the new tariff law, imports duty free totaled $1,127,502,699, as against $691,388,289 dutiable. In February, this year, duty free imports were nearly twice as much as dutiable imports—in round numbers ,“SO,000,000 and $45,000,000 respectively. It asserts that on this record the presidential campaign of 1916 will be vigorously contested between the free traders and the advocates of protec tion, and that “the issue will be espe cially keen in the 3tates of the Pa cific Northweit, where the free trade theories of the Democracy are given their most sweeping application.” But if disgruntlement with Democratic free trade notions is active now, it will be much more active under condi tions that are sure to arise after the war. Then there will be a sharper struggle than ever by Europeans for advantage in Aiperlcan markets, and the difference between the high wages current here arid the low' wages gen erally current in Europe will tend to put American manufacturers out of business and throw American work ingmen out of employment unless there is a speedy restoration of the protective principle in American tariff laws. MR. CLARKjS GRACEFUL ACT Leaves to Wilson the Task of Lead ing Forlorn Hope in 1916. Speaker Clark has declared himself for IVilson for the presidential nom ination in 1916. We felt sure Mr. Clark would get even.—Wausau Rec- ord-Horald. That's it. Sir. Clark's ardent, pre cipitate and self-efEacing indorsement of Woodrow for leader in 1916 is the most ominous thirgg yet for that gen tleman. Even ttiat incurable opti mist,Mr. Bryan, would hardly apply for the job. And we should not be at all sur prised to find Mr. 'Wilson himself sud denly developing, a strong sense of the binding force,' of that single term Piank in the Baltimore platform. Why, it is a perfect i;odsend for him. Competent Mands Required. Tbe greatest political upheaval of an off year has been accomplished In' Ohio, where the tax officials of 88' counties, all Democrats, were relieved of their duties and an equal number of Republicans substituted. The ex travagance of preceding Demopratic administrations-' renders necessary a more thorough and equitable system of taxation. To insure success the work of reform had to be placed in more competent hands.—Omaha Bee. Ex-President' Taft Is Right. Tornier President Taft declares that* existing arbitration treaties between the United States and ..other nations provide for the settlement of all ques tions except those which are likely to lead to war, and are therefore of little Practical use except as expressions of food will. "What a wide difference of opinion between the, former president and the presen) t secretary of state, " ho seems confi dent that war can be abolished by trt aty. , Another Dei mocratic Failure. The. Brooklyn. Eagle calls attention to the fact that prior to the passage of the seamen’s bill additions to Amer ican registry cam e at the Tate of eight or ten a month,. and that'since that enactment they .have ceased, with no Prospect of resumption. The Wilson administration -hi is flung away the chance that was ,offered by the Euro pean war for the restoration of the American flag to the seas. It is an admitted economic fact that WOSft 382 be no Pei raanent prosperity ,without ajyerihanei it agriculture. Is Somebotly Lyiag? uWe do not understand it. There is a misunderstaodiugor all hands are lying. We are told every day that times are better; fn fact very near nor mal. Yet here is the Southern Bailway getting permission to take off more ot its trains. If times are normal, people would travel: Baiiroads are not go ing to take off trains if their operation is paying.—Greens boro Becord. Yes, you are right, Brother Reece, there issome misunderstand ing and lots of lying. Any fool knows that the Southern Railway ir any other Railroad would not chink of taking off trains if they .veie making money by running them. On the other band it is aatural for them to want to take off trainB when they are not paying expenses. Some people who are not at all informed may misunder stand, but those who are tryirg to make them believe that times are good are IyiDg like forty red devils. It is a very ignorant man who doesn’t know that times are hard and getting harder all the time: But the Democrats know what is going to happen to them next if they can’t manage some way to fool the people, and they have re sorted to hard down lying, trying to make the poor working man who has not had a job in months, and not a square meal perhaps in weeks oelieve that times are good and everybody onght to be happy and singing the praises of Wilson and Bryan. But when be enters his own humble home and hears his own wife and children crying with hunger and cold, he feels more like cursiug the uames of those who are responsible for his suffering than he doe9 singing* their praises. The present administration, like ' all other Democratic administrations, baB fallen completely down, and the fall was so hard that it knoked the bottom through and now the newspapers are trying to patch np by telling the people that prosperi ty has returned with all of itB beauty, that everying is perfectly lovely and the “goose a banging high.” But the working people who are now being fed on potlick- ker and bread at public soap houses are not going to believe such stuff. The farmers who have' not been able to pay tbeir fertilizer bills for last year will not believe them, in fact there is not any one outside of the insane asylum that is fool enough to believe them, yet there is hardly a day but what some Democratic paper is trying to make people believe that the country is in a very prosperous condition. Bnt the report of the commercial agencies ot Bradstreet and B. G.

London, May 24.—Little time elapsed lietween the declaration oi war between Anstiia and Ttaly and the opening of actual hostili ties. The Austrian aeroplanes and destroyers and torpedo boats, at tacked the Adriatic coast, Italian points, and bombarded Venice and other city. The Italian aud Aue- train advance guards have ex changed shots in Tyrol, on the eastern frontier. The campaign plan has not been disclosed. It is generally believed that it will be attempted to dis courage the Italians by the inflic- tiop of a quick and decisive defeat, largely by the Germans under Vou Hindenberg.' The German troops, heavy artillery and aeroplaues and zeppelins are already moving to ward Verona to deliver fierce and rapid blows at the Italian center. The Germans probably believe this would check the Italiau advance from the Venice province, where the flat country would give Italians a better chance of success. I t a ly is bitterly denounced throughout Germany and Austria. She.has replaced England as the most bated enemy. Italy’s inter vention is bailed with delight in the Allied countries. Rumania, Bulgaria and Greece have not moved. Bulgaria has reiterated that she will remain neutral unless directly affected. The Turkish seizure of Bulgarian railway cars loaded with Bulgarian goods may draw Bulgario into the war. Sofia has protested. An important battle is raging southwest of Przemysl. Tbe out come is Btill doubtful. There is plso fighiug along the East Prussian froritier, in Central- Poland, - where the Germans have attempted an offensive along the Hawka river. The battle is undecided. Both sides have lost heavily. Russia expresses satisfaction with th e situation along her froot. Heavy fighting ba9 been resumed on the west from Arras to the sea. Both sides claim the advantage. The allies do not intend relaxing their efforts there, although they have not undertaken a general movement. The Allies have land ed more troops on the Gallipoli peninsula. They are confident oi breaking the Turkish opposition soon. Tliisly-Six for 25 Cents.

London, May 26.—In the field of military operations- the -great on slaught of General Mackensen a- gainst the Russian line north of Prz emysl and around Jaroslau indicates that the powers of the Austro-Ger- man offensive are not exhaustive and verifies the belief general in London that Russians are not well equipped. Przemysl has not been prepared to rank again as a fortress. It is rather a heavily fortified camp. HOW FAR IS LEXINGTON? I Let’s All Get Together. iBD’t it about time for the people of Qiis community to get a little Closer together, and work in a little closer barmoDy one w ith th e other? Couniry town and the farming coinmanity surroundiDg it a r e brothers, and the one cannot suc ceed, without the cooperation aud active assistance of the other. Atfaruring section without its adjacent railroad and market facil ities would be a back number—a dead one—with little future ahead. Live farmers would shun it—would have nothing to do with it—Ior live men create a surplus, and they must have an outlet for that which they create. A farm adjacent to some live town; and shipping facilities is worth double that of a piece oi ground with equal fertility located in some obscure section of the coun try. The relative values of the products of the two farms would be about the same—the one high, the other low. Therefore, the farming communi ty is dependent upon the town and its advantages for mnch of the rural prosperity, lor the high value of land, for the ease with which shipments are made. Farmers who believe in them* selves, who want a prosperous com munity, should encourage the town and its industries—should buy from the home dealers, should keep the money in the home community, where.it adds to the commercial life of every person. Every dollar a farmer keeps in circulation at home simply adds that much to the riches of his own community, to the value of his own holdings. i- ~The*towirand the town-merchant owe an equal duty to the farmer, for without his cooperation both town and merchant would perish. The town should make the farm er welcome, let him feel that he is among friends, that it is his town, that he has a personal interest in its welfare. The merchant should make it possible for the farmer to buy his goods as cheaplyat home as he can from some foreign house, and be should keep this fact constantly before the farmer. He should encourage the farmer by keying reliable goods and sell ing thein at a reasonable price. Most merchants do this, although the absence of the merchant’s ad vertisement from the local paper keeps the farmer fn ignorance of the fact. He should encourage the farmer in all ways, exhibit a brotherly feeliug in spirit, and give the farm er to ULderstand that he is inter ested in his welfare as well as in the conteuts of his pocketbook. It has been demonstrated re peatedly right here in this town that- farmers cau buy as cheaply Irdm the local dealer as they can from a foreign house. But the loreign dealer floods the farmer with advertising matter, while some local dealers expect tu be taken on faith. And the farmer is a wise one —he takes nothing on faith. “Show Me” is bis creed. And he goes to the man who advertises —who “shows him.” Now isn’t it about time for us all to think a little, to get together, to push this community right up to the front? Eestored to Good Health. “I was sick for four years with stomach trouble.” writes Mrs. Otto Gaas, Zanes ville, Ohio. “I lost weight and felt so weak that I almost gave up hope of being cured. A friend told me about Cbambei- lain’s Tablets, and since using two bottles of them I have been a well woman.” Ob tainable $50,000 Good Roads Bonds. About three years ago, Hickory township voted for $50,000 good Boads bonds. Some thought it would not build 20-miIes. But we have a better report. The commit tee having it in charge are business men and know how to do things and how to handle public money. They have compleated 46 miles of road, 30 feet wide sand clay with top soil on all. They have sold the outfit to Lovelady town ship in Caldwell county, and have kept six head of mules and some equipment to maintain these roads and also to build a little more where needed most. They not only have some money IBft ti? do’thlsrw iftbfey M ve iirin vided,^hrongh the Building and Loan, a-suOScient sinking fund to pay interest on these bonds as it comes due, and also to pay off the bonds at the expiration of 20 years. —Hickory Mercury. BEWAKE of OINTMENTS for CATARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCDRT. There is more Catarrh in this sec tion o the country thau all other diseases put together, aud until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local dis ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease and therefore requires consti tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Che ney& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mu cons surfaces of the system. They' offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send or cir- cnlars aud testimonials. Sold by Druggists, 75c. Must Get Together. , There is a distinct value now andj for twelve months to come of the dis-i cussion of issues, old and new. with -a view of. preparing a platform upon which both factions of the party c plant themselves with both feeL So- called reactionary, so-called conserva tive, and so-called Bull Mooser must get together on a basis, if of accom-f modation, of good faith with one an-l other and the country, and invite] support for what if called to power j they will put into operation. ! IRebuke to Administration. ; The identification ot national, with.1 local politics is to he deplored. Wei are not discussing that. We merely) wish to chronicle the amazing re-;) versal of Democratic Chicago's pollti-I cal form as the most severe rebukei yet administered to the John o’ Dreanmi regime at Washington.—Milwaukee Free Press (Rep.). Breaks in Democracy’s Ranks. The democracy is being held to-i gether now with difficulty. There are. sharp differences as to policies. Cen tralization, bordering closely, as some charge, on state socialism, has crept into the party of Jefferson. The ship purchase bill was a staggerer to many, old-time Democrats, North and South;] and a few southern Democrats or-i ganized its defeat. And now comes- prohibition, with the president point ing one way and his premier the oth er, and apparently no middle ground for a meeting. When Convalescent. “A great congrosa has closed Its sessions,” said President Wilson. “Its . work will prove the purpose and qual ity of its statesmanship more and more the longer it is tested. Businesn has now a time of calm and thought ful adjustment before it.” After it recovers consciousness and gets ooR of the hospital. There’s a Reason. After all it is really not Etrangn that no Democrat covets FresidenR Wilson’s chances for reflection. Politics and the Tariff. A popular cry is to “take the tariff cut of politics.” It cannot be 'done- In the very nature of things In our governinent, the tariff is in politics; .and, politics is in the^ tariff. Schools' ofpoUticarthougEt” and^campaigSrof r political appeal grow out of the tariff. Such was In the beginning, such is now, and such ever shall be while our present form ot government lasts. No Burning Decks for T. R. I Perhaps some of the Progressive- leaders still think their party has a, future, but Colonel Roosevelt is not one of them. He knows the jig’s up, and is governing himself accordingly. —Kansas City JournaL Ends Excuse of "the war.” Customs receipts so far this fiscal* year have shown a decrease of $70.-, 000,000 in round figures, which is just, what Mr. Underwood predicted in his, speech closing the tariff debate on September 30, 1913, That fact seems to end “the war” as an excuse for the- treasury’s condition. Work Before Next President. The Republican who succeeds Mr. Wilson in March, 1917, will confront a task of large proportions, and re quire the aid of men of ability and of one purpose. The Democratic record being condemned by the voters, a new record must be made; and this will touch all business, and many political’ points. Necessarily, therefore, the, new leaders will have their hands full, and should enjoy the confidence of the country. Business particular ly will follow their performances with extreme solicitude. Not so Far That the Statement of Its Residents Cannot Be Verified.

An effort should be made to secure some new industries 'Jor the town and to keep the factories we have running on full time. Three policemen in Winston lost their jobs on account of taking drink. If every man who takes drink of booze behind the door should lose his job there would be many jobless men in the country. Hie State automobile speed limit does not apply to Mocksville or Djayle county, or at least it would not seem so. When you drive through town go as fast as you want to. No one has ever been arrested in this town for exceeding the speed limit. It seems that Mocksville does not want a 4th of Julv celebration. The Record has done all it could to assist in getting up a big day here but no body offers to assist and our folks will have to go elsewhere to enjoy the day as they have in the past. -Everybody is hoping that th|e United States will manage to keep out of the war. We should be care ful* and not demand too much from any of the warring nations, lest they fall upon and slay us. This country needs peace instead of war. Be quiet b&ys, and don’t rock the boat. MoeksviUe has a chance to take a forward step tonight if she will. The city fathers are to discuss a sys tem of water works for the town at their meeting and everv citizen of the town hopes that some action will be taken favorable to the protection of the lives and property, of those who live in town. Some of the papers say that bus'. n<s» conditions are improving. Then: is room for great improvement in this section. Our factories are not working but half time and one or two are not 'running at all. The poor people are having a tough time trying to pay their honest debts and keep out of the poor house. Most of the farmers claim that they have no money arid cannot meet their ob ligations. Weare all hoping that prosperity will soon smile upon us. A BUILDING AND LOAN AS* S0C1ATI0N. At leasthalfof the citizens of Mocksville live in rented houses. If wehad a building and loan associa tion it would be only a few years un til every citizen of the town could own his own home There is noth ing that builds up a town faster and helps the laboring classes more than a good building and loan association. Practically every town in the State hgs one or more of these associations amjt thefe is no reason why Mocks- vUie should not have one. Wewould be glad to do all in our power to se cure one for the town, and would be glad to have those interested use our Columns in helping to agitate the auestion. Abuildingand loan as sociation would mean a great bni'd- ing boom for the town in the course of a year or two. Talk the matter over and lets get busy and organize one. _______________ American Steamer Sunk. . London, May 26 —The American steamer; Nebraskan, Capt.

No lives VMre lost, No passengers were car* : rfi-’l i i-*w.This inforlmtion was received to- AW by the Br$ish admiralty and at one* coramuraaiftd to America, A Rest Howe. Editor Record:—I read the editor ial in your last issue, also Miss Lin da Glement’s article on taking, the old court house and making a rest house or community house for the ladies of the entire county. My views may not be worth much, but I generally say what I think on questions affecting our people and our town and county. I heartily approve the steps bang taken to convert the old court house into a rest place for the ladies of our coun ty. Thisbuildingbelongstoall the people, and in its disposition or use their wishes and wants should be consulted as near as it is possible to ascertain their will. Only a short while before Mr. James McGuire was taken sick I stopped at bis office on my way to work and he brought up this very subject and asked my opinion of it. I at once endorsed it, and found him heartily in favor of it, the only trouble with him was, what authority the commissioners might have in the matter and how they should proceed. I have never read the deed to the county fo? the land upon which the court house stands, and I cannot say whether there are any conditions that might prevent the donating of this proper ty for such a purpose or not. This should be looked into, and whatever action is necessary to place it at the disposal of the ladies should be ta ken at as early a date as possible. It's a reflection upon any countyseat town not to make some preparation for entertaining the lady visitors anji providing them with a comfort able place to rest when they come to town. Theonlyfhingtobe consid ered in this case is, can it be done and h<^w? We should not ask it of the commissioners unless it can le gally be done. There is no better rule to go by than Davy Crockett’s, "Be sure you are right and then go ahead.” If it be necessary for an act of the legislature, let’s find out and be ready for action when that body next meets. Wishing success to the Rest House project. E. H. MORRIS. Mocksville, May 27. . How About Tbe Roads? Mr. Editor:—Oar road money is almost gone and we have just got our roads in shch a shape that we cannot afford to stop them ' where we are at, especially in Shad\ Grove township. We have our roads graded up but not much ot them soiled. Now to build a road and not soil it is just about as bad in winter time as it was before. We have the road from 'Advance via Bixby and Cornatzer almost graded to Mud Mill, and/have the road from Bixby via Baltimore graded to the Farmington town' ship line, and will soon have the Mock Church road graded, also' from Bixby to Fnlton townBhip. Of these roads I mention only a little over one mile has been soiled. Shall we Btop these important roads where we are at and pull the mud next winter, or shall we go on and get some more money and soil them. Iam in favor of getting enough money to soil what we hane graded and what we aim to grade. Let’s hear from some one else about the matter. SHADY GROVE CITIZEN. Mn. P. L Meroney Dead. Mrs. P. L.

Glement went to Win ston in a machine over the new high way built by the United States gov ernment. and he says it is undoubt edly the finest piece of road he ever saw. This road is the one that was given a portion of the Federal road fund which congress appropriated for experiment, and the assignment was made by the governor. Mr. Clement was familiar with this sec tion when, as a small boy. he went with his father to attend the various courts in this end of the state and he visited many of the scenes of bis youthful travels. Butthething he talks to,his friends about is that magnificent road from Mocksville to Winston-Salem. [TheRecord believes in keeping history straight, and would say that the beautiful road frpm Mocksville to Winston and also to the Iredell county line was not built by the gov ernment but by Davie county with a little assistance from Uncle Sam. This road cost the county nearly one hundred thousand dollars and if we mistake not. the Government gave us about $20,000 of this amount. Mr. Clementis a native of Mocksville and we are deeply appreciative of the kind words he says about our road—the finest road in the State. Travel it. often. Mr. Clement.—Ed ] Joniora Elect Officers.

President Candell wants another county convention to be held some time this month to trke the place of the April meeting at Cooleemee, which was postponed on acconut ot bad weather. Wnere shall this meeting be held and when? Those who are interested should confer with President T. I. Caudell, at Cooleemee^ at once, as the time is very short. It has been suggested that the next convention be held at Fork Chnrch, which, we be lieve would be satisfactory to all rhe classes in the county. Some action should be taken at once if the convention is to be held June. in Baraca-Philathea Contest The Bariaca-Philathea classes of the MockByille Baptist church are running a contest for new members which will dose July 3rd.

An interesting communication ha been received from a friend near Cana dealing with the influence of war on civilization.

Varioussectionsof Davie' county were visited last Wednesday evening by a severe hail and wind storm. Much damage was done to cotton and wheat in the Jericho section and just this side of Cooleemee: A ter rific rain'storm accompanied the hail and wind and did a good deal of damage. A bridge is badly needed on the road between Fork Church and Coo leemee. The sand clay road is com pleted, and one would think that teams and automobiles are expected to raise up and fly across Dutchman creek, a distance of about 190 feet. The old Brown bridge, near this good road, may not be dangerous to cross, but the road leading to and from this old bridge is almost impassible, especially a fte r a rain. Several thousand dollars has been spent on this rpad which is practically worth less without a few more dollars spent to build a bridge. What are the PiynmiRiriqnera going to do about it? Aoto Tons Oeer. While driving his car from the: square to the station last Wednesday afternoon Mr. Jake Hanes came very near suffering serious injuries be sides having his car badly damaged. Just before reaching the high fill on the road ope of the tires burated, which threw the car out of the road, and in trying to wright the car and keep if in the road, it turned com pletely over with Mr. Hanes under neath. The wind shield, lights and I fenders on the car were broken and Mr. Hanes secured one or. two slight ‘bruises.,: It is fortunate indeed that ihe accident was not more serious. Maay Stadents at Home. The citizens of Mocksville are al ways glad when the young ladies and gentlemen of the town arrive home from school for the summer. The following students returned last week from the various schools and colleges: Misses Jane Haden and Dotothy Gaither and Louise Wil liams, from Salem College;' Misses Martha and Loura Clement and Kopelia Hunt, from the G.

Mrs. Susie Jones who has been on the sick list for some time is not improving, sorry to note. DAD'S OLDEST GIRL. From Rowan. Wheat and oats were looking very promising until the hail storm of the 17th of May. This was the worst for many years in this sec tion. Some ofthe wheat is de stroyed and much of the cotton bad to be planted over. Here it killed yoncg chickens and pigs. Frnit and fruit trees are much damaged. At Faith it so moved and wrenched the Reform church building that they are talking of tearing itiow n and build of stone. The set back of the crops by the hail storm and continued wet weather is creating some uneasy ness among the farm ers, but Providence knows best aud we should not complain. On the 23rd of May, Rev. R. L. Brown and wife, A. L. V. Fisher and wife, John R. Brown and wife and a few others made a trip to Mocksville to see Mrs. Austin and Cora. The old brick building, the shade trees aud the beautiful lawn looked very natural. Had not seen them for some 16 years. This was a pleasant rememberance of the times when Mr. Brown and family lived there. Although the day was loog, the time passed off so rapidly they did not get to see near all of their old friends. With the exception of the loss by the recent fire, they think MockBville has made considerable improve meats. They claim to have had a very nice and pleasant time, and had Mrs. and Cora Austin to dine with them. Mr. Brown says he is opposed to this Sunday mobiling at the neglect of the church and fearB some are too careless in this respect, but this was a mission ot friendly relation and beneficence. They think they were some cheer and comfort to Mrs. Austin in her feeble condition. There was also some charity con nected with this trip. These old friends parted with the hope of meeting on better grounds if not here—where the nerves will be quiet and where crutches are not needed. It seems to be superfluous to say anything about the panic. If the war is the cause ot it, it would soon be ov-r if the president would pat an imbargo on everything that kills. If we eannot send this and provisions to all the waring na tions, send them to none. We are not haviog strict neutrality OBSERVER. Peach Trains Running. The movement of the Southern peach crop to northern markets has begun and quite a number of special “ peach trains” have gone through in the past several days. The Southern will be operating these trains for the next several weeks. It is said the crop is large and that no few trainmen who have been off or oo short time will be pressed into service to handle these specials. After tbese will come other specials with the watermelon trains to follow.—Salisbury Post. Streams Are High. The water courses in the county are raging and the rain is still fall ing steadily. Mueh damage has been done to the wheat crop and bottom corn is washed away. The weather bureau calls for fair weath er today: Greeks are higher than for a long time. HOTICE.

W iy does she grow restleaa ~ under the crown of womanhood? Why la ahe weary of the God-given Jewel of moth, erhood? Is It not a sufficient political achievement for . woman that future rulers nurse at her breast, lautfi In her arms and kneel at her feetT Can ambition leap to. more glorious heights than to sing lullabies to the world’s greatest genuises, chant melodies to master minds and rock the cradle ot human destiny? God .pity our country when tbe hand* shake of the politician is more grati fying to woman's heart than the pat ter of tchlldren's feet. Woman Ie Ruler Over All. Why does woman chafe under re straint of 8ei? - Why revile the hend of nature? Why discard the skirts that civilization has dung to since the beginning of tim e?. Why lay aside this hallowed garment that has wiped the tears of sorrow from the face of childhood? In its sacred embrace every generation has bidden Its face In shame; clinging to Its motherly folds, tottering children have learned to play hide and seek and from it youth learned to reverence and re* Bpect womanhood. Can- mtaa. think ot his mother without this consecrated garment? Why this inordinate thirst Io r pow er? Is not woman all powerful? Man cannot enter this world without her consent, he eannot Kmain Inh peace without her blessing and unlcisa she sheds tears of regret over his depar ture, he has lived In vain. W by .A ls longing for civic power when Ged lIiaa made Iter ruler over all? W hy cr»ve authority when man bows down tfyid worships her? Man. has given woman his heart, his name and his moae\jr< What more does she want? Can man find It in his heart to loolr with pride upon the statement that his honorable mother-in-law was - one of the most powerful political bosses In the country, that h is' distUigulshed grandmother was one-of the ablest filibusters In the Senate or that his mother was a noted warrior and her name a terror to the enetay?

Usten to m et: Tske no n»re sick- ening, salivating calomel when bilious or consupat«d. Don’t lose a day’s work! Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes neeroris of the bones. Calomel, when i t comes into contact with sour Wte crashes into it, breaking it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. U you:are elug- cish and "all knooked out,” if your liver is torpid sad bowels constipated or you have headache, dissineBS, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour just take a spoonful of harmless Dod- •oa’e Uver Tone on my guarantee. Here’s my guarantee—Go to any drug store and get a 50 cent bottle of Dod son’s Liver Tone. Take a spoonful to night and if it doesn’t straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous by morning I want you to go back to the store and get your monejr. Dodson’s Liver Tone is destroying the sale-of calomel because it is real liver medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore it can not salivate or make you sick. I guarantee that one spoonful of JJoa- son’s Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and dean your bowels of that sour bile and constipated wsrto which is elogging your system and mak ing you feel miserable. I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone will keep your entire family feeling fine for months. Give it to your children. I t is harmless; doesn’t gripe and they like its pleasant taste.

They do it not as a duty, but be cause they know they simply can not get along without their home paper. The editor never whieles for their money—he gets it. But there is another class—some “class” to ’em, too. They take the paper regularly —are the first to read it—profit by the many opportunities offered in its columns— and forget to pay for it. They just let the editor whistle —and keep on whistling. If he has bills to meet, he ean pay them in whistles.

JUNG 9, 1915 NUMBER 4» S SOT KEPT Defeat of Oemooratic Party Is Sure. -Voters Who Put Faith In Candidate Wilson Have Now a Different Opinion of the President—Re cent Elections Important. The Democratic party has guaran- teed defeat for itself for 50 years to come by its deliberate repudiation of its promises to the people. It prom ised to reduce the cost of living, and It has not done it, but while living costs advance, work becomes more difficult to get, and hundreds of thou s a n d s of men walk the streets of the cities without work, food or suffi cient clothing. It promised to protect American citizens and their interests at home and abroad, and the Republi c a n s have but to point to their plat form pledge on this subject and offer Mexico as evidence of the fraud prac ticed on the voters. Candidate Wilson’s complete in dorsement of the tolls exemption law for American coastwise vessels tra versing the Panama canal, and Presi dent Wilson’s demand for tolls opon these vessels, and the support of this repudiation of the platform by a ma jority of the Democratic senators and representatives, demonstrated the ut ter faithlessness of the party and its unfitness for any position of trust or power. Not in the entire 140 years of Independence of this country has there been such an open and plain abandonment of a political pledge as this repudiation by the Democratic party of its own declarations on the tolls exemption. Fortunately for the country there is no chance for a Dem ocratic victory next y^ar. The country Is against the party, against its leaders, and recognizes that it has neither convictions nor principles while dominated by its pres ent managers. The party was de feated in recent elections in nearly every important state In the Union, and it is weaker with every day that passes. It repudiated its promises of 1912. It cannot be bejfeved in 1916. ■Republican victory is assured by the votes of hundreds of thousands of former Democrats. Republican Return to Power. The Republican party stands for definite and progressively unfolding policies. It stands for well defined federal principles. It stands for adap tability to the changing needs of the times. It stands for law and Jor ap proved economic action. It stands for the support of all that is of basic value in the body politEe. It stands for the relegation of thje merely ex perimental to the tria3 laboratory, while it holds to the demonstrated and to the things of approved value. The nation has interests that the par ty in power is bound to respect. K has not done so. The nation has rights that the party in power is hound to safeguard. It has not done so. The nation has opportunities that the par ty In power must respect It hap. not done so. Therefore, there must, he a return to power of the party that never would have been retired upon its policies or its practices had there not arisen a schism in its ranks. The new association will he controv? jrsial. only with the Democrats. It w ill have no controversy with any elem ent of the Republicans themselves. ; , The younger generation, parti /cn Iarly, needs the indoctrinating that tlris or ganization will afford them.- and all others. It should be very us eful. Poor Mr. Bryan. : Adding to our collectkra of humor ous, if mean, things thr»t are being said about the present Deraocratic ad ministration, we find the New York Sun lifting from Preside >nt Wilson's speech these words: .‘‘I find myBelt envying those who tor ich with the closest possible contac t the genuine istufts, whether of the-' animate or in timate worlds.” To ■ this the Sun re plies: "President WU son has no real cause to envy anybo dy on this score. He Is in close pro:/ imity to some of the greatest stuffs in the whole ani mate world.” Call Is ’to the South. T h e TJnderww 4 law must be re vised. It was pi epared in a time of Peace, when thf ;re was no prospect of w a r . It had r failed before the war' began to keep ’ the promises made in: i t s name. Sip « ; e the war the failuw h a s , of course v been emphasized; and; now it is pi; iin that $t the close of' t h e w a r a nf /w revenue measure must be framed t /> meet the radically' new conditions t he war will haws produced. If the Sou ih means business in this matter, tl> time approaches for her to show V l Listing The Taxable*. Rev. Harry M. North in Laarinburg Ex change. It has come to be a common say iog among' us that many people do. not list all of their property for taxation or that they fail to value; it aright. ThiB is a grave charge for it not only cats Sfc the support of the State, but what is more im portant, it closely affects the honor and integrity of men. There seems to be much evidence that this charge is true ina number i>f cases. Those who claim to be patriots; lovers of their State, will evade its laws and withhold their tribute from it. They will speak loud of personal honor and of how they have supported theOommonwealth, and are ready to defend it with their blood, and then violate their honor and betray the State into proverty for a few dollars. But one claims that others give in their property in a lax way, and that everybody expects everybody else to do the same. If we value our oath we will not expect it. Granting that this pepular view is accepted by nearly every one, still it should not affect you and me. The law has not yet been repealed and the oath is binding. We do not list onr gosBesBions according to what others are doing but bj the demands of the law and' the oath. Letusseew hatthelaw has to say of this matter and what the oath means, It reads in this way: “I..... do hereby solemnly swear (or affirm) that the list furnished by me contains a true and accurate list of all property which by law I am required to list for taxation, and that the value fixed tbereouby me is a true valuation o f the same, according to my best knowledge, informatiou'and belief. So help me, Gcd.” A true and accurate list of all property. This cannot be gotten in a moment, but it will require a very careful survey of all the. pre mises and all business interests. It is easy to overlook some of the most prominent things in the house and to forget a large investment made some years ago. Thepiano loom iog up as big as life, and the library takinghalftbe wall-space of the room, may both go unnotic ed, just as certain important se curities in the vault may lie out of mind at this particular time. Then the gun in the corner, the type writer in plain view and the costly jewelry displayed every day may fail of their place on the list. “ A true and accurate list.” Is this what I always givet Not only this, but we most testi fy that is a true valuation given by us. A complete inventory must be made and a careful estimate of the worth of each article placed upon it.

If I do not know its value I. should .find out from those who do know. And if they cannot tell me, I must. as a last resort fall back upon my honest belief of the worth. Let me not deceive myself on this point. Down in my heart doT not believe tfiat it is worth more than the valuation just given Hf May be those who informed me put it lower than it should have been as a matter of sympathy lor me, or may be they expected to make a low estimate of their own later on. Then each one must say “ I sol emnly swear, or affirm, that this is so.'7 How lightly some men take the pencil and sign this statement, as lightly as I have seen tnem kiss the book and then testify a lie in' court. How awlul all of this is. I, a citizen, a man, I, a. lover of the truth; I, a human being, in the presence of his Creator, I sol emnly swear that this is true, and that this is all. “So help me, God.” He is the witnesses upon whom we call to attest our sincerity. He knows whether or not-the list is correct and the valuation true. I wonder if He places His seal to what we say. It would be of great interest to hear Him speak out His testi mony in the case. Would not He say as was said of Annanias, that part of the price had been kept baokt “So help me, God.’* Let me say the words over slowly. He is to aid me in finding the right thing, and then in doing it, and He will know if I am fair, anr! He will care if a am not.

Richmond, V a.,Jonel.—Enthu siasm appeared to be the keynote of the great gathering that assem bled in the City Auditorium this morning for the exercises that marked the formal opening of, the silver jubilee reunion of the United Confederate Veterans. * Long before 10 o’clock, the hour fixed for the opening of the pro ceedings, the gaily decorated au ditorium was filled to capacity. In the audience were hundreds of aged veterans, many of whom had traveled hundreds of miles to shake hands again with their old com rades of the camp and battlefield and to see again the old familiar coiintry over which they had tramped and fought in the armies of Lee and Jackson. As each of the little band ol surviving Confederate commanders appeared in the hall and was es corted to a place of honor on the platform the audience burst forth with enthusiastic cheering. Simi lar applause greeted the appear ance of widows and daughters of some ol the old leaders, who were invited to the reunion as the spec ial guests of honor. And -when the band struck up the old famil iar tune of “Dixie1’ the walls of the big auditorium seemed to shake with the loud and prolonged cheers that reverberated thru the hall. Promptly at the appointed hour thejconvention was called to order by General J. Thompson- Brown. The feature of the afternoon sees ion was the annual address, deliv ered by Dr. Henry W. Battle, of Charlottesville, Ya. Other speak ers were General Julian S Carr, ot: XorthCarolinaj and General Bi W. Green, of Arkansas. Another Ray of Snnshine.

This country is suffering more from' tainted politics than from any other malady at the' present time. There is scarcely a campaign speech made, a platform demand written or a mea sure enacted into law that does not carry the taint of ■ personal gain of some politician or political faction thereof. There is more "blue sky” in cam* paign promises of many politicians running for office than was ever con tained in the prospectuses of the bold est promoters of chimerical business schemes. There are more secret com binations formed by politicians in the name of “My Country” than were ever formed under any and ail Other aliases. There are more political re bates hidden In the phrase “Be it en acted” than were ever concealed un der any and all other disguises. The inordinate thirst tor political power and unrestrained passion for mastery has caused more distress .in this nation than the greed for gold, and it ought to be regulated by law. No business combination ever pursued their competitors a s ' relentlessly or visited more heartless cruelty upon their customers than a political party that seeks to make junk of an in dustry, or cripple a business for party success, through tariff measures, po litical supervision' and ofttimes de structive legislation. Many political platforms are as alluring to the voter as the story of the rainbow with its pot-of gold and their consummation about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the first law in politics. There are many men In office today who, it they could not shake plums off the tree ot American liberty or cut a melon taken from Uncle Sam’s eommissary, would have less desire to serve the public. . The country is surfeiting with patri ots, who will bare their breast to bal lets In defense of their country, hut there are few men In public life who will bare their breast to voters or run the gauntlet of party disfavor in de fense of agriculture or Industry. No representative of the people, who will permit personal prejudice to dethrone justice;': party, success to disfranchise reason or the rancor of a political campaign to influence judgment can render capable service. The preservation of our prosperity depends upon wisdom, courage and honesty in government, and the Amer ican voter shonld seek these attri butes as implicitly as the Wise Men followed the Star of Bethlebem and they will oftysn be found to rest over the stable; the plow or the staff of the Shepherd. The surest cure for tainted politics and machine rule is fresh air and sunshine and these im portant elements are most abundant' upon the farm, and when farmers, bankers and merchants are elected to membership in legislative bodies, much of the trouble in government will dis-. appear. Once Is Enoughi - The Democratic observers are right in their vision of the return of pros perity. Good times are coming back despite tariff-tinkering, income-taxing, business-throttling policies;, for great are the resources of the American people. The experience undergone, however, is not one they will care to risk again. A New Mexican Policy. ■ — Washington, June I.—President Wilson and hia'cabinet today a- dopted a new Mexican policy. Its object is the restoration of order and the relief of millions of non- combatants-from the devastations of Mexico’s military element, which hive produced conditions describcl as intolerable. The Pres ident read the cabinet his state ment to be communicated tomor row to the leaders ol all Mexican factions, serving notice that unless they compose the situation the TJoited States will find other means to bring about the establishment of a stable government. The state ment was approved after a pro longed discussion. . . i Gennalis DriveRonians Back. London, June I.—In the faceof yesterday’s Bussian claims that the Austroi-German grip on Przem ysl had been broken and that the offensive in the EastGalacia strug gle had passed to the Bussians came the German and Austrian official statement tonight asserting that the AuBtro German troops had been successful to the north and northeast of the fortress. They claim that the forts girding it to rhe north have falkn into their hands while to the southeast they have wrested Stry from the bus- sians. The AuBtro Germans say the campaign is running in their favor everywhere in the eastern zone from Libau to the souther- most tip of the Galician battle line. “Democratic Editors Plan Summer Outing,” according to a headline. And the Republican editors are looking forward confidently to an inning. Agriculture is recognized as the great& t of all industries and a pros perous, progressive and enlightened agricultural population is the surest safeguard of civilization. Dungs Looking Seriont. " Washington, June I.—Pm idect Wilson determined toda^ that" the United States must ascertain defin itely and promptly, from Germany whether that country intends io the future to be guiden by the ac cepted principles of international law and the rights of nentrals or to follow its own rules of maritime warfare. No announcements were made after the cabinet adjourned. BEWARE of OINTMENTS far CATARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY. There is more Catarrh in this sec tion o the cointry than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors prononnced it a local dit ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a ,constitutional dis ease and therefore requires consti tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Che ney& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon ful. It acts directly on the blood and mu cous surfaces of the system: They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send or cir culars and testimonials. Sold by Druggiste, 75c.

This has been tried sufficiently. According to the University News Letter, 35 per cent, of the citizens of - Davie county are not church members. From the age of IOyears and up, there are 3,308 people in the county who belong to no church This is bad, but it could be worse. Davie ranks 23rd in the list. It seems to us that an automobile line from Winston to Mocksvilleand thence to Statesville over the Gov ernment Post Road, would be a pay ing proposition. Two cars could be operated over this line and a return trip made daily. Some enterprising business man in Mocksville should seize this opportunity before States ville or Winston folks gobble it Up1 We are anxious to know whether the farmers and businessmen pf the county want a Street Fair in Mocks- ville this fall. The Record is very nnrch interrated in this proposition but we cannot do all the work anc give all the prizes. We want to hear from the people of the county about this matter. If vou want Fair this fall, better begin to say something about it. ■ MusttheGovernment Post Road stop a mile away f ono the court house on either side of town, or will the missing link be built?

We have got to live and pay our bills. TheRecordcould get along some how without any home advertising, but it comes with mighty poor grace fo r us to beg the five thousand peo ple in Davie who read our paper every week to patronize the people who will not spend a cent to help themselves. We believe our sub scribers will say that we are right. The Record is not trying to force its advertising space on anvone, and only asks a square deal from the public. If .vou don't want to use otir columns that is a privilege you have, and when we carry, advertis ing for out-of-town people and ask our readers to trade with those who advertise with' us, then -don’t get road and say-■ we are not . treating you right.

THEMOdCSVlLLE MERCHANTS. From theiractionsit would seem that the majority of the merchants in Mockaville don’t want a newspa per in ^ieir midst Out of about twenty-five merchants in the town, only two or three patronize' their home paper, which does more for them than any other agency. The Recbrd a year or two ago instituted and worked up three or four t»de days, which brought our merchants hundreds of dollars and: brought us nothing but extra work and caused us to spend money in prizes to get the-crowda.here. In return for all out work and free advertising, not a merchant in the town even took the trouble to thank us for what we did. Wehave stood by the home merchant on all occasions and beg- g«d the people to patronize them in preference to the mail order houses. Wf'f ave * uriied down foreign ad* Ye^ miiif for the benefit of our own stores aitd the home merchants have show - their appreciation by cutting ou' i-heir advertising. Every sensi ble man knows that a newspaper has " curry a certain amount of ad vertising or it cannot exist. If uur merchants and professional men will not advertise, then necessity forces USrto look elsewhere for advertising, Itishard foran editor to try to boost a town where the majority of the business men are too narrow- inityied- or close-fisted to spend one ' cent to help get the country people to come to town to trade.

Great Anstrian Victory. London, June 3,—After a siege of three weeks the fortress of Przemyd has fallen to , the Austrains. Tlie Rustians weref in possession about seventy days. This news was received with sur prise here. / It had been known that ^he Russian position there was seri ous, but failure wits not expected so quickly, particularly in view of the Ruasianannouncement Iast Mondiv that the Austrian grip on Przemysl had been broken, and that the offen sive in the great struggle had passed to the Russians. The Au8trians entered the fortress at 3:30 this morning after a hntnrper ing by heavy guns of several days. The surrender was ascribed to the effectiveness of the artillery.

This rles lWlll endeavor to record In writ ing the supremacy of American men and industries In the world's affairs uid perptuate an appreciation, of oar marvelous Industrial achlevementa by presenting simple facts, Hgrifea and comparisons that are overpowering In their convictions. . America holds her prood place among the nations of the earth today on account of her supremacy In trans portation facilities. The mighty minds of the age are engaged In the prob lems of transportation, and the great est men In the history of the world’s commerce are at the head of the transportation systems of the United States. ' In the discussion of tnnsportatlon, let ns consider separately - our Rail ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Ex press, PnbUc Highway* Steamships, Street Railways, Ihtemrlwn and other forms of transportation, and in . ^ tide will deal with railways. The United States has the t« p # mileage, the best service, tlfc cheap est rates, pays labor the M||W wages, and we have the most efficient ly managed of the railways of the world. They stand as a monament to die native genius of our marvelous builders, and most of the railroads In foreign countries have been H f* under American orders. The railroads represent a faugsr ln- ▼estment of capital than any other branch of human activity. The odle- age In the United ------------ the accepted distance from the earth .to the moon. We had In 1911, the last year In which figures for all countries are available, on the earth’s surface, «39,981 miles of rail way divided as follows: United States 241,199, Europe . 207,482 .and other countries 191,360. The United States hss 88 per cent of the world’s mileage, seven per cent of . the estimated pop ulation and about five per cent of the area; The total capital invested in the railways of the world Is $50,000,000,- 000, divided ss follows: United States 818,000,000,000 Europe $25,650,000,000 and other countries $11,350,000,000. Reduced to a mileage basis'the cap italisation is ss follows: The world $78,000, United States $54,000, Europe $124,000, and other countries $59,000. A comparison of rates is equally as interesting and the United States lakes the lead In economy and serv ice. The avenge rate per ton per hundred mile haul Is as follows: United States 76c, Grest Britain $2.53, ftance $1.44, Germany $1.44, Russia 92c, Austria-Hungary $1.30, Italy $2.8 0 and Swltserlsnd $2.82. The average yearly pay of all rail road employes In the principal coun tries Is as follows: United States $757, Germany $892, Italy $845. Aus tria $322, Oreat Britain $279, France $260 and Russia $204. About SO per cent, or 188,000 miles, of the railways of the world are government owned.

The struggle now going on between the rubber and the iron tire promises to } the Uyellest contest of tbe Twen tieth Century. The struggle is a silent one and there are no war correspondents to write Wrld descriptions of the con- - wt but the results aTe more far- reaching to present and future gen erations than the war of Europe. The rubber tire has been maneuver ing for point of attack for several years and has ^captured a few unim portant positions in traffic, but it has now fitcbed a decisive battle with its Iron competitor by hurling a mil lion "jitneys” at the street railways and the battle Is raging from ocean to ocean. Upon the result of the struggle depends tbe future of the rubber tire. If It is compelled to re treat, its doom is sealed, but if it wins the battle it will revolutionize the transportation methods of this nation. If the - rubber *tire conquers the street traffic its next struggle is with the railroads of the country, and then the greatest battle between economic forces ever fought out on the face of this earth is on, for iron is the un disputed master in transportation, and Is fortified behind billions of dollars, and millions of men. Stephenson applied the steel tire to an iron rail in 1814, but it was 1869 before tbe golden spike was driven at Promontory Point, which bound the country together with bands of steal. It. took the iron tire ftfty-flve years to creep from ocean to ocean, but the rubber tire while warm from the creative mind of the Inventive genius sped across the continent like an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys ses. The roadbed was already pre pared and therein lies the power of tbe rubber tire over that of iron, for government builds and maintains the public highway. But iron is a stubborn metal! and it has mastered every wheel that turns; has fought battles with ijvery element above and beneath the aarth and has never tasted the wormwood of defeat, and when rubber hurl* its full force against this monarch ’ of lhe Mineral Kingdom, It may rebound to the factory stunned beyond !recov ery. The rubber tire first made Sts ap pearance on the bicycle, but it *proved a frivolous servant and was dismissed for Incompetency. It has always been too much inclined to revel in Juzury to be taken seriously as a utility ma chine and its reputation Ib not one to inspire confidence in heavy traffic performance. But to those who care to waft' Into dreamland, it is enchanting to !note that there will be a marvelous differ ence between a rubber and an lJron age. The rubber tire will scatter the cities throughout the valleys for with transportation at every man’s door, why a city? It will traverse the. con tinent with a net work of Macajflam highways as beautiful as the Botikv vard built by Napoleon. It wlD'/par- aJyre the law making bodies ot' this nation for how could the legislatures run without the railroads to r.nerata on? *M sm’s Um TmT Is M ss Te Chn YNr Stigiisk Uw ail Brails.

Recent Utterance* Scem to Indicate That He Has Reconsidered Certain Policies That Worked Much Harm to the Country. President Wilson, in bis speech,to the United States Cbamber of Com merce the other day, said he favored a modification of the antitrust laws that would make It possible for Ameri can business men to bind themselves together In common action In' semir ing foreign trade. He would encour age such a concert of action; he said, igovided that no combinations were formed to exclude any manufacturer or exporter. His remarks were hailed with great apptause, as well they might have been, since they were an approval of Mg business, which he- has been fight ing ever since he went, into office. JEVr there is certainly noi difference In principle between trusts organized to get foreign business and trusts operat ing in this country. And what becomes of the competi tion that he InslsteA was the chief need of business whem he demanded the dissolution of the big trusts? Is it not as desirable In ,‘the foreign trade as at home? Or, put ting it the other way, may not comhllnations of busi ness men under proper conditions be just as desirable fjid necessary In handling home tradij as In command ing foreign trade? Mr. Wilson Batd„;ln his Indianapolis speech, that he wa s not a business man, but in hia W ashington address he showB signs ofiian ability to learn. But it is “up to” "him to explain why a trust of the k'/nd he recommends Is beneficent, and,- other trusts that do business at hc/iue are Iniquitous; President.'WiIsoifIs Partisanship. W hat a faty It Is that the president cannot dismiss party, politics from his mind when hp Is appointing quast-judi- xi.al oflicials^euch as arejthe.membeiiB of the federal trade commission! He named three Democrats;—and "that is veil enougi.i. The other two nominees should baf fo been .Republicans. They were not. Howef er, his Democratic predeces sor, Grf ,ver Cleveland, displayed a like dlsre^f ird of the proprieties when, In 1893, ;iie named the judges of the new court of appeals of the District of Coluf abla. They were three In num ber. Cleveland nominated three Dem- ocrsits and they were confirmed. la, striking contrast to this Demo cratic partisanship we may view the actum of William H. Taft. That falr- mlnrted statesman had himself been a jtldite. As president he elevated two Democratic Justices from a lower court to the bench 0f the .Supreme court 01 the Dhiited States, Jbesides advancing a Democratic Justice* of that court to be chietf Justice of the* United States, i Work for lfalr Tariff. I It is a fact, not cfften recalled these ;days, that neither the HcKinley law, the Dlngley law, nbr the Pgyne law -was altogether to the liking of the !man whose name It', bore.

Washington, May 26.—Testi mony to BepnbIican solidarity con tinues to accumulate here as visi tors from.various sections of the xittntry arrive i n Washington. Arthur B. Jones ot South Bend, Indians, who was here last week, gave it as his opinion that Indiana will next year be Bepnbliean by 100,000 and will elect a solid dele* ration to Congress. “The Repub licans started the readjustment last November,” he said, “by electing two Bepnblican members of the Souse, and next year we will com plete the change. It is not a ques- >ion any more of who will win In diana, bnt of how much the plur ality will be. The Progressive party has been almost entirely eliminated. Most of the men who tbllowed Col. Booeevelt in 1912, have either Openlyannoonced their return to the Bepnblioan party, or have quietly told the leaders of the organization that they are tired of helping the Democrats.” The tend toward Bepnblicanism is unmistakable ou the Pacific coast ind in the Bocky Mountain region, according to the testimony of !two fecents visitors here from those iections. j James S. Taylor of Denver is convinced that if an election were to be held in Colorado now the Democrats would not have a ghost ofaBhow. “Not even the most tangnioe Democrat,” he says, “can mntend that Colorado is morinaliy 1 Democratic state. It has always oeen susceptible to passing fads in politics, as for instance, Populism, Ont its Bepnblicanism for the most pat t has been real. The lree silver iot bf the Kepnblican column a few years ago, bust as the Progressive wave brought about the election of cwo Democratic senators, but the people have regained their equili brium, and there can be no ques cion that in 1916, Colorado will Aect a solid Bepublican delegation co Congress and give its electoral vote to the Bepnblican candidate lor President.” B. S, Brigham of Portland, Ore., -a sure that the entire Pacific coast will go Bepnblican next year. “California,” he declares, “haB oeen hurt by the low tariff as much rs any State, and the people would vote to change the policies of the National administration, if for. no other reason. The fact that a Democrat waselected to the United States Senate to succeed Mr. Per -tins, cannot be taken as indicating that California is Democratic. The conditions last year bad hot been adjusted, as year had not been .ad justed, as they have been since. Mr. Henry took a large part of the normal Bepublican Vote from Bes presentative Knowlandy and the result was defeat for both. Gov. Johnson still has a hold on a large element of the people, but the Pro gressive party, as a party, has practically, disappeared in the last six months. The desertion of so many Progressives from the party established by Col. Boosevelt and Gov. JohnBon, and. their return to the Republican organization, na turally had a big effect and many of the most prominent men con nected with the progressives have annoonced that' henceforth they will support the Repnblicah tick et.”................ W. J. BRYAN RESIGNS HE BEUEVES IN . PEACE AND NOT IN WAR. Where is England’s navy? A Doctor’s Prescriptien for Tbe Parting ef Tbe Way Came When Note Was Dispatched . To Germany. Washington, June 8.—William J. Bryan, three times Democratic can didate for the presidency of the United-Statesandanthor of nearly thirty pesCe treaties with the prin- cipal Nations of the world, resigned today as Secretuy of State , as a dramatic sequel to his disagreement with President Wilson over Uie Gov ernment’s policy toward Germany. Theredgnationwas accepted by Uie President. The Cabinet then approved the response which had been prepared to the German reply to the Lusitania note. AcUng Se cretary Robert Landng will dgn the document and tomorrow’ it will be cabled to Berlin. .Secretary Bryan will return to private life tomorrow, when his re signation takes effect. It was learn ed that he intends to continue his political support of the President. Rather than sign the document which he believed might possibly draw Uie United States into war, Mr. Bryan submitted his redgnation in a letter declaring !that “the issue involved is of sneh moment that to remain a member of the Gabinet would be as unfair to you as it would JAtimcauaewhiekjs Mtaetov heart,; bauiely. .

The redgnation of Mr. Bryan, whoee advocacy of . a conne that under no circumstances would in volve the United States in war, spread the imprestion Uiat the Pres ident and Ids Calnnet had detided firmly that the rights of the United States most be upheld in every even tuality that may arise.

Mach has been said and more writ ten about the evils ot watered stock In big 'business concerns and the farm ers -ot this nation believe that every dollar written Into the life ot any business organization, should be able to say “I know that my Redeemer liveth,” but fanning Is the biggest business on earth, Snd there hi more water In it* financial; transaction than that of any other Industry. There is as much water In a fanner’s note drawing eight or ten per cent interest when other, lines ot industry secure money tor four or five per cent .per annum, as there Is In a business pay ing a reasonable compensation upon the- face value of securities repre senting an investment of .only fifty cents on the dollar. The only dif ference is, the water is In the interest rate In one Instance' and In thq-secur- ltiea in the other. > The promoter otttimes takes chances and hia success is contingent upon the development' of the property in volved but the usurer, as a rule, takes no chances and his success cripples the property involved. There may be Industries that cry louder but none that suffer more severely from finan cial lmmorallly In both law and cus tom than that of agriculture.. The fanners of America today are paying $200,000,000 per- annum in usury on real estate and chattel loans, and this Interest capitalized at five per cent, represents $4,000,000,- OOO of fictitious values which the farm er Is paying interest on. This sum of money is almost equal to the annual value of crops produced In the United States. The earning power of the farmer’s note based upon his interest rate very nearly divides llkea the earth's sur face—three-fourths water and one- fourth land. The largest body of wa ter that floats upon the financial hem isphere now ' nrnta upon -the farms and J ts waves are dashing and its billows are rolling against seven mil lion homes threatening ruin and dis aster to the prosperity of the nation.

These twin messengers jf modern civilisatjpn, horn In the ikies, stand today the most faithful and efficient public servants that ever tolled for the human race. They are of American nativity and while warm from- the mind of the In ventive genius hive, under American supervision, spun a net-work of wires acroes the earth and under the seas. Telegraphy, - in ita early youth, mas tered the known world and the tele- phone has already conquered the earth’s surface, and now stands at the Seashore ready" to Tesp across the ocean.- No Industry In the history of the world Has Aver made such rapid strides in development and usefulness, and none has ever exerted a more powerful Influence upon the civilisation of Ita day than the Tetefaapb and Telephone. Their achievement demonstrates the supremacy of two distinct types of Amwican geniue—Invention and organ- laatiqn. : The Industry was peculiarly fortun- Ate In having powerful Ihyefitive Intel- Ijfat At its source and; tremendous 'fajhds to direct its organisation and growth.

A brief statistical revie j? ot the in dustry brings out its growth and mag nitude in a most convincing and un- torgetable manner. The telephone service of the United States is the most popular and efficient and its rates are the cheapest of the telephone systems ot the world. We are the greatest talkers on earth. We send 60 per cent ot our communi cations over the telephone. The world has about 15,040,000 telephones and of this number the United States has ap proximately 9,540,000, Europe 4,020,000 and other countries 1,300,000.

No u>e to throw it away just because it be longs to a town or county. - . The Record is now and has always been opposed to two or three men running the affairs of a town or county. When such affairs exist the town or county cannot prosper. The motto of some of our folks seems to be: ’’Blessed is he that hath but little, for that little will be taken from him and given to him who alreadyowns the community.” England declared war against Ger many last fall, but up -to this time the English army has kept out of ail the battles on land and sea. Wonder if England wants us to do her scrap ping? This country kept out of war with Mexico, even after the Mexicanshad insulted our flag and butchered our citizens, and it seems to us that we should be able to keep out of the European .war. If an American citizen wants to be safe these days he should have sense enough to re main op this side of the big pond Ourtown doesn’t need a night watchman or policeman, and cannot hire one for lack cf funds. The same is true concerning a system of water works, to hear some of the “leading citizens” talk, but when comes to spending money for other things we have more than we kniw what to do with. When William J. Bryan resigned as Secretary of State last week the cabinet lost a brainy man, and a man who has done more to keep this country at peace with the world than all the other members pf the Cabinet put together. If the United States becomes involved in the European war Mr. Bryan can truthfully say .,that he exerted all the means in his power to preyent it. We say glory to Bryan or any other man who strives for, peace rather than for wax. - Bryan Appeab For Peace. Washington, June 11.—Bryan to night issued an appeal addressed to the German-Americans, urging them to aid in maintaining peace between the United Slates and Germany by exerting their influence with Ger many to petsuade it to do nothing leading toward war.

Washington, June 8,-r-As a-/result of an investigation started by Com missioner Osborn several months ago into allege frauds of distilleries Gie goyernment is $200,000 to the good and many employes of the govern ment and distillers in jail are out on heavy bond Guy Hartman and John L. Casper, both of whom operated in North Calrolina before the prohibition law went into effect, are implicated in the expose. Hartmanwas arrested and released on $20,000 bond, which heforfeited and Casper is held in tfce Fort Smith, Ark., jail in default of a $25,000 bond. Both Hartman and Casper are well known around Wins ton-Salem. Gasper conducted a dis tributing liquor house at Winston Salem from 1902 to 1905. Hartman, it is alleged, was one of bis associates at that time. That this wholesale fraud was un earthed is due to the vigilance of Commissioner Osborn. Some months ago a prominent North Carolinian, whose name is withheld for good reasons, was in the commissioner’s office and told him if he would make an investigation he would find that the Casper distillery near Fort Smith was running at top speed notwith standing the fact that the govern ment had been notified that the plant had been shut down. The commis sioner investigated. He did find the distillery running and his men cap- turned over 500 barrelk of Whiskey which had not been stamped. Other deputies swept down on Casper’s mail order house at Kansas City and took charge of the place. Gasper, it is said, was taking in over $1,000 a day in Kansas City. Another man said to be involved in the affair is one Williams who was arrested near Asheville a few days ago. Knox Booth, revenue agent at Nashville, has been missing for two weeks as a result of the discovery .of some of his letters in the possession of Gasper and Guy Hartman at Kan sas!

That a committee of Davie county women with nothing save their own initi ative, courage and energy have undertaken to raise a sum of mou ey sufficient to save from devasta tionand make habitable one of our oldest and most historic struc tures, should appeal to every man or woman who has ever lived in the county.

The road will be 35 feet wide, and will connect the Governmmit Post Road through .the town. The road will pass through Main street and turn at J- L. Cle ment’s corner, and thence by Rich ardson’s shop. It is hoped to have to have the road done within two weeks. A steel bridge was or dered built across Dutchman creek on the Mocksville and Fork Church road leading by Hanes’ Mill., or npar there. The road leading from North Cooleemee to Cooieemee Junction was ordered changed, and will leave Vhe present road at the baseball park and come out into Davie street at Walter’s Livery Stable. Whien this road is finished the.present.road will be discontinued as a public road and will be kept'up by the Erwfii Mill.

Charles, 'in United States district court Thursday, missed being a can didate for the Federal penitentiary at Atianta by just a half pint of whiskey; rather, he missed it by the lack of evidence to show the exist ence of such a quantity of fire water. He was charged with the removal of whiskey in an amount exceeding five gallons in one receptacle without eridence of the tax being paid! The jury was unconvinced that the de fendant bad just five gallons! and - a haH pint in one package, andthere- fore adjudged him not guilty. . ■ Charles, who is a resident of Forsyth county, was arrested on April 18 with an automobile and seven kegs of spirits. He was taken am to ' Salisbury by - Davision Deputy Walkw McCaniessahd Deputy Col- lector William last, and these two effieera, in the presence of Charles’ attorney, A. H. Rrtee. probeeded to measure th e spirits. Instead of weighing it, they/procured 'Horn a Syrian merchant a '. gallon measure tint the owner used to apportion in gradients in making ice cream. It was guaranteed by- him as correct, since officials enforcing the. pure food laws had passed upon it. Ac cording to this Measure, there were five gallons and a half a pint in one keg. The officers giving testimony, however, could not swear that the measure was accurate, since they had only hearsay evidence to ffiat effect. Therefore Charles went free. ' CcnyvIRe Goes Republican.

Atty. • £ , • - , HIBSIOK OF THE SHOULD Be UNIVERSITY OF RE* UGI0U8 LEARNING. Duty of ClirMIanIty to Evanfplixe th* v.‘ World. By ftev. Jno. A. Rice, D. D. PeatorBt. John M. E. Church. South.St. Louifl. Mo. E^me years ago, the question was ;asked: Vhat is a college? Tbe at- ; tempt to; answer it shook the educa- i tional world .in. America from center to circumference. Anotber Question is now beginning to be asked: Wbat is a church? Without undertaking to give a definition of It, let me ask, in tbls initial paper, what the church is for? The Mew Testament reveals three distinct tasks to which it is : committed. -Flr^t, that of evangelization. Tbe church is divinely commissioned to reach for th* lowest and the least ntan In. the least land and offer biin Mtaihip to the Eternal God; offer him .a 'divine-power, which lifts him out of the bog and places him upon the highest levels of human life, where Ood Md tbe soul are In fellowship. This alone were an Immense priv* IllW Teaching the Art of Living. Tbe church is commissioned also to teach and train those who are licit with Its evangelistic message. 'The term, Beligious Education, has !come to mean a specific thing In our country, namely, the training of tbe people in the local church In those deep matters which pertain to tbe art of living. I am not now speaking of the work of education in schools, colleges and universities, but the work ot education at our doors, in tbe con gregation. Every agency in reach should be employed to tbe utmost In this ImportMit mission. ■ Indeed, the local church could be made a sort of university for all the people, in which the simple, practical arts and virtues of everyday life should .be tangbt and enforced. / Only recently has tbls special phase of the church's work re ceived anything like adequtate atten tion. The New Testammc word for it is Edification. School of Religion Needed. Of course, the Sunday School ia the center for all this work, although the activities of the church should extend through the entire week and tbe- Sun day School should cease to he so named. It should be called the School ot Religion or the Church School or something eise that indicated it to be an all-the-week activity. During this time various and sundry clutis, classes, musical organizations, culture courses, as well as distinctly religiouepmeetings, should be held.

JUNE 23, 1915;NUMBER 49 E Business Men Want Republicans in Power. AU Through the Country They Are i Tired of Continued Democratic Incompetency—New 8yetem of Protection Muot Be Devieed, The recent meeting of business men in New York looking to the return of the Sepubiican party to power is noteworthy as a symptom. As mat ters stand, business is disgruntled toward the Democracy. No one branch of business, but all branches. Manufacturing has in mind the Un-, derwood tariff, which has crippled or closed up many plants. Banking Is not sure about the new currency law, which has yet to prove itself. Corporations are puzzled about the new trust enactments, which, in the hands of lawyers entirely great, may mean much or nothing. For one or all of these reasons depression is al most unprecedented, and, naturally, business men are figuring on a change, and organizing to speed the day. A word about the tariff. Business interests, as always, want protec tion. They have profited by it, and desire the restoration of that pol icy. They will get it if, and when, the party of protection resumes full control of the government. But, while there will be a return to that policy specifically,, there will not, because there cannot, be a re turn to any past particular expres sion of it. That is to say, protection, as expressed in a law for this time or any time soon, could not follow the lines of the McKinley law, the Jlingley law, or the Payne law. The conditions under whSeh and for which those measures were shaped do not now exist, and will not be restored. If the Republican party is again com missioned to write a tariff law it must make It conform to the existing conditions. And the protection must be con servative and symmetrical. A Chi nese wall is not necessary anywhere now. Many of our lndusfaies have flourished to that extent they do not require the rates they needed at the start, and some can do without any protection at all. This was true 14 years ago, as Miy McKinley, in what proved to be M's last public speech, pointed out at Tluffalo. Suggestlcfn Concerning Root. Former Senator Root says the presi dency for hint is "absolutely impossi ble” If it bet permitted to paraphrase the Scriptures, it might be remarked that In politics all things are possible. But at least the suggestion made that Mr. Root be secretary of state begin ning two years from no»w under the next Republican president Is one that is fitting and appropriate. In fact, just Imagine what a sense of relief and satisfaction would be prevalent throughout the country if Elihu Root were even now In charge of our foreign relations! The evils due to this administration and its control of congress sty far as they relate to our business and commercial welfare, everybody feels, will pass away immediately upon tlne inaugura tion of a Republican administration two years from now. But the condi tion of our stafte department, which nobody knows who is the head of. it, and when the nominal secretary aban dons Washington as sooy. as a money making opportunity presents itself, leaving the country ip; doubt whether to be relieved or indignant that he has taken his hondf; off, causes un easiness lest disastf-.r come that will outlive the present administration. This Is intensified ; by the record of our abortive invaafog i of Mexico, which has resulted in a w orse situation at present than ever I iefore. e Jlfltfne thq Tariff. “If tbs Democrats-, would carry out the suggested plait o t immediately be ginning a revision J jf the tariff up ward to guard against a threatened deficit, thus giving a Aeasure of pro tection to American lVfcustrles, they uiight find some favor a%nong the peo ple, but otherwise, the '.<mly solution of the business situation ( .In my opln- ion, is the election of «t ,Republican 'ongress and president JBfttt year,” said Thomas J.

Hon. E. O. Call of Corsicana probably has the distinction of having won more notable criminal cases than any other lawyer in Texas. There have been few note worthy trials in Central or East Texas during the last fifteen years in which he has not 'taken a part, either for the defense or as special prosecutor. Ed. Call, as he is familiarly known to a majority of the Texas bar, was born in Davie connty, N. C., and removed to Corsicana in 1877, where he read law in the office of his cousin, the late Judge Sam R. Frost, He was married in 1887 to Miss Ada Key of Navarro couoty, a daughter of J. C. Key, a well known Texas pioneer. Mr. and Mrs. Call have three children, Mrs 6 . A. Young of Dallas', and two boys, Leon andjNorwood, both "chips off the old block,” possess ing their father’s intellect and ger erous heart. From the day Ed Cali was ad mitted to the bar lie has had an extensive practice and is recognized by the profession as one of its brighest stars. He is not only a great criminal lawyer, bat possesses a profound knowledge of the civil law in which he has been eminent ly successful. !Speaking of Mr. Call’s ability as a lawyer, Senator Thomas F. Gore once said: ‘‘I have always main tained that E. O. Call is the best criminal lawyer I ever knew. His the only mind that acts with the speed of IightniDg, and whose con clusions reached in the twinkling of an eye are as sound as those reached by others after- mature de liberation. W benheprosecutesa man for murder the whole court room seems to reek with blood on til it oppresses every one present. When he defends a man he seems to convert into fact Shakespeare’s theory that he who murders a man simply relieves his victim of so many years of strife and toil, and after ail, it is a mere incideut un worthy of serious consideration or of makiDg mnch ado over. This is the atmosphere he generates in a court room and jury box by his ability and brilliancy.” Those who have seen Ed Call in action and watched him as he grill ed a witness will approve all the Able Senator said of his friend. In addition to his law practice, Mr. Call is extensively engaged in stock farming at nis plantation oear Purdon, Navarro county, and is au expert agriculturalist. He oever sought office or political hor ors, being coutent to stand by his friends. . He is a loyal Democrat of the Jeffersonian school, Mr. Call is a fine scholar and forceful speaker, and has taken a prominent part in many of the State political campaigns. Mr. Call is a brother of our townsman, Mr. S. M. Call. A Cowardly Deed. Some cowardly sknnk, whose name we have been unable to as certain up to this writing, sneaked into our office one day last week and deposited a second-handed chew of tobacco in the water bucket. Ye editor becoming tbirsty, hied himself back to the said bucket, and had drank a drunk before dis covering the ghastly deed.

Francis of Missouri has said the following of a newspaper: “ Each year the local paper gives from 9500 to 91,000 in free lines to the com munity in which it is located. No agency can or will do thiB. The editor in proportion to his means does more for bis town than any ten men in fairness he ought to be supported not be cause you like him or admire his writings but be cause the local paper is the best investment a community can make. It may not be brilliantly edited or crowded with thought, but finan cially it is of more benefit to the community than the preacher or teacher. Understand me I do not mean mentally, and yet on men- tally, and yet on moral questions Von will find moat of the papers on the right side. Today the editors of the local papers do most for the least money of any people on earth.” Most people like to use the local papers. They realize their worth as an advertising medium, andAe sire to share in it’s benefits with out paying for same. Many people seek to get free advertising through the. papers—absolutely free—for they, many of them do not take any paper whatever. It is not an unusal thing for a man to call at this office wantintg a copy of the Times Leader, sometimes, too, of date several weeks back. The .pa per is looked up for him and when he ie told that the price is five cents which is not half enough to pay for the trouble of hunting it, he discovers that he does not want it and declines to take it after be bosJopkCd carefoily over it to. see if he can find the item he is inter, ested in. He wanted -to get the paper if he coold get it for nothing, bat not so it he must pay for it. Such contemptable littleness and meanest)! VY e don’t mind giving a good paying subscriber an extra copy ol the paper but a man who does not take it, and never has taken it and never intends to take it unless be canm anage to beat you out of it, is a nuisance, intol erable. . Thentbere is the sample copy rascal—the fellow that is always wanting to get a sample copy with a view of subscribing. Some, of these fellows call every few weeks for a single copy. They have ho intention of subscribing fora paper. Tbey are regular dead bests; they get all their reading in this way. Then there is tbe fellow who hill manage to gCt on the subscripton list, promising to pay later on; some of them are good fellows, But many of them after getting the pa~ per a year will get the postmaster to send a card Baying the paper: is refused.

Many horses but few mules are being bought in America for the use by the armies of Europe. We are neutral and its none ot our bloomin’ concern whether they use blooded horses or donkeys to pull their artillery wagons as they fight it out Over in Europe, but we arise to say that the American mule is the greatest asset of any army. There is a story to the effect that one day daring the Civil war it was reported to President Lincoln that the Confederates bad captured two major generals and a number of army mules. . Lincoln said mus ingly, “ Well, I can make major genenty, but I do bate to lose those mules.!’ Job said some fine things about tbe war horse, about his smelling the battle afar off, bis pawing in tbe valley, bis neck be ing clothed with thunder and about his rejoicing in his strength as he went put to meet the armed men Job did not pay his respects to the army mule, but nevertheless and notwithstanding the army mule i3 a great adjunct to a fighting force. The mule will hear the roar of can non and never bat an eye. The noise of battle has neither terror nor cbaim tor him. He will, pull cannon just like he would pull a plow or a dump cart. Be stays where you put him, and he raises the white flag never. He is sure footed/dear headed aud he makes no complaint and fattens where the war horse lie down and die. On the lOngest march, swimming rivers, climbing mountains sloehing thiu tnud aud mire, the army mule team goes but does not collapse, and a bunch of hay, a little grain and a minute or two at stream or water hole and an hour or two rest, aud the army mule is ready for the march again and be never gets so tired that he will not, if half a chance is given him, kick the life out of bis teamster. Tbe armies of Europe will never do real fight ing until tbe American male is called to tbe colors.' Innocent Amusement. Hometown (Pa.) Benner.

IE P ilS F E CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM PREFERENCE IN APPRO PRIATIONS. By Peter Radford. This nation Is now entering upon an era of marine development. The wreckage of European commerce has drifted to our shores and A e world war is making unprecedented de mands for A e products of farm and factory. In transportation facilities on land we lead the world but our port faculties are Inadequate, and our flag is seldom seen in foreign ports. If our government would only divert the energy we have displayed in conquer ing A e railroads to mastering Ae commerce of the sea, a foreign bot tom would be unknown on A e ocean's highways. This article will be confined to a discussion of our porta for the pro ducts of the farm must pass over our wharfs before reaching the water. We have In this nation 51 ports, of which 41 are on the Atlantic and 10 are on A e Pacific CoasL' The Sixty-second Congress appropriated over 151,000,. 000 for improving our Rivers and Harbors and private enterprise levies a toll of approximately J5p,000,000 annually in wharfage and charges for which no tangible service is rendered. The latter item should be lifted off A e backs of A e farmer ot A is na tion and A is can be done by Congress directing its appropriations to ports that are bee where vessels can tie up to a wharf- and discharge her cargo free of any-fee a t charge. A free port is progress. It Akes out A e unnecessary link In A e chain of transactions A commerce which has.tor centuries.laid.a,.heavy hand upon commerce." No movement is so heavily laden wiA results or will more widely and equally distribute its benefits as that of a free port and none can be more easily and ef fectively secured. Doing His Plain Duty. . Democratic newspapers we have noticed se-tu to be quite proud of the fact that President Wilson, as they say, has kept the country out ot the European war. For our part we fail to see why President WIlaon deserves any particular credit because we are not at war with some country or other. In first place, with the exception of a few hot heads and irrespoosiblea, the country does not want war with any nation. Some serious questions have arisen between Eng land aud Germany, but none which diplomacy cannot settle and so if our government should plunge us into war it would be doing a very wicked and foolish thing. In keep ing the peace with these fighting countries President Wilson I a? done nothing moie than his plain duty and nothing to excite any particular astonishment or admira tion.—Concord Chronicle. Most of the good listeners are men, and they are marred men. BEWARE of OINTMENTS for CATARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY.

OUR PUBLIC FORUM I—Introductory Through the Press Service of Agri culture and Commerce, the master minds of Ais nation will be invited to A e public forum and asked to de liver a message to civilization. Men who achieve seldom Aik, and men who talk seldom achieve. There Is no such Aing as a noisy thinker, and brevity Is always a close companion to truth. It wiil- be a great privilege to stond by the side of men who can roll in place the cornerstone of industry; to associate with men who can look at A e world and see to the bottom of it; to commune with men who can Hear, the roar of civilization a few centuries away* Too often we listen to Ae rabble element of our day A at cries out against every man who achieves, ‘!Crucify him.” Mankind never has and probably never will produce a generation A at appreciates A e genius of ite day. There never will be a crown without a cross, progress with out sacrifice or an achievement with out a challenge. This is an age of service; and that man Ib greatest who serves Ae larg est number. The present generation has done more to improve Ae con dition of mankind Aan any civiliza tion since human motives began Aeir upward flight. The Greeks gave human life inspiration, but while her orators were speaking with Ae. tongues of angels, her farmers were plowing with forked sticks; while her phil osophers were emancipating human thought from bondage, her traffic moved on two-wheeled carts drives, and ofttimes drawn, by slaves; while her artists were painting divine! dreams on canvas, A e streets of' proud Athens were lighted by fire-- brands dipped in Allow. ; The genius of past ages sought to; arouse A e intellect and stir the soul: but the master minds of today are- seeking to serve. Civilization has as signed, to America the greatest task; of A e greatest age, and the greatest men that ever trod the greatest planet are solving it. Their achievemenA: have astounded A e whole world and: we challenge every age and nation to name men or products A at cani approach in creative genius or mas terful skill in organization, Ae mar velous achievemenA of the tremend ous men of A e present day.

Following the example of Rowan, the ladies of Mocksville and Davie persuaded the county commissioners to give them the old court house for a C immunity Building, and the Recoul says the building will be remodeled and fitUd for public library, rest room, muse um, etc.. and the second floor will be used for an auditorium for public meetings Congratulations to Die ladies, the county commissi- n-rsand the people of Davie That county is making commendable progress. Statesville Landmark. Mr. W. A. Owen Dead. It is with sadness that we are called upon to chronicle the death of Mr. W. A. Owen, which occurred at his home in North Mocksville Thursday afternoon, June 17th, at 5 o’clock. Mr.Owenwas 47 yeai of age at the time of his death, and had been in failing health for more than three years. He had under gone treatment at Charlotte, and everything possible was done to- re store him to health, but to no avail. The funeral and burial services toi place Friday afternoon at 3:30 t, clock, and the body was laid to rest at Rose cemetery with Masonic hon ors, to await the final resurrection. Mr. Owen is survived by a wife and one daughter, one sister, Mrs. Duck Thompson, of Tyro, and one brother, Mr. Charles Owen, also of Tyro Mr. Owen was a consistent member of the Methodist churcb, and was one of our best citizens.

It is a Model Highway. Iredell’s portion of the Federal aided Statesville-Mocksville-Winston Salem highway is nearing comple tion. The five county road forces at work on the highway are making good progress and are expected to complete the job by Julv 1st. ForsyIfi and Davie counties completed their portions of the highway some time ago and the Iredell section would have been finished months ago but for the controversy over the route in the vicinity of the South Yadkin river, which resulted in a new route being adopted in that section as a compromise between the two. The three counties traversed by the new highway were fortunate not only in securing the appropriation from the government to aid in the construction of the road, but also in securing the services of government engineers to superintend the work, in co-operation with the county - en gineers and road authorities. It is the verdict of those who have been over the road that it is the best in the State; one which will serve as a model for future road improvement The government engineers have kept a strict account of everything and have in their local office at the court house alignments and profiles show ing the curves and grades in the road. Government Engineer Arbenz and his assistant, Engineer H. S. Parry, are completing their maps as the work on the road progresses and when it is finished the complete re cords will be filed in the Office of Public Roads and Rural Engineering in Washington. Concrete culverts are being placed over the smaller streams along the route of the highway and modern steel bridges are used at the larger streams. The river bridge was com pleted some time ago The steel work on two small bridges near the Davie line, where the forces are now at work, is yet to be done and there are a few small culverts to be built, but this work is not expected to de lay the opening of the road. If all goes well everything will be finished early next month. Concrete drink ing fountains for man and beast are being placed at a number of. the clear branches along the highway: Gravity pipe lines will carry the water from some distance up the streams to the fountains at the road side, which will serve not only to furnish drinking water for travelers and live stock, but will also be con venient in case automobile drivers should need water for their radiators Poiudexter-Bycrlj. Mr. W. V. Poindexter, of this city, and Miss Tullia V. Byerly, of Ad vance, were united in marriage at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Byerly, at Advance Tues day afternoon at 5 x o’clock. The marriage was a quiet home affair being attended by only a few of the most intimate friends of the young people. After the ceremony Mr and Mrs Poindexter left for Ashe ville, where they will spend several days. On return they will spend a week with friends at Advance before taking up their residence in this city, where they have a host of friends Mr. Poindexter holds a responsible, position with the R J.

During the past eighteen montl s Davie county has built and completed about 75 miles of good roads, and at this time has about 25 miles of road graded that hasn’t been top soiled. There are two or three other roads in the county that are almost com pelled to be built. We don’t know what the people or the Road Com missioners think about the matter, but The Record believes that enough additional cash should be secured to finish the roads that have been grad ed and also to build these badly needed links that are now missing. Webelievethetaxpayers of Davie county are with us on this question. If we quit now, much of our work and money have been thrown away. A graded road without top-soil in the winter is like a ship without rudder. If we are going to .finish these roads and build others, the work can be done now, while we have our mules and road machinery, at half what it will cost a year or .two years hence. No use to sell our ■pules now atdiglf price and later, on Mhve to buy QtKfirs or pav contracting from abroad big prices to build ahd finish our roads. We don’t know How much eifra money is needed, but we believe the citizens of the county and the Road Commlssionera should get together and decide to keep the good work going. Let’s hear from bur subscribers aiong this line. The Record stands for good roads and more of them. SheffieMNews. The farmers are through harvest ing their wheat crop. Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

Both Berlin and Vienna claim pro- along virtually th e entire southeastern front and Lemberg a gain appears to be In danger. Mosciska, east of Przemysl. has been captured by the Austro-Ger- mans and according to the German contention the Russians are falling back south of the railroad connect ing Przemysl and Lemberg. AU Russian counter attacks have been repulsed with gains for the Teutons from a point north of Przemysl into Bessarabia, the Gennans say. Far off as this front is from Eng land and France, it is being watched more closely than the western front because it would appear that these operations are being pressed in an attempt to clear Galicia of the Rus sians, preparatory to a breathing spell in the East, which is likely to be followed by a crushing blow aim ed at Italy. Thefighting is growing harder daily along-the Italian-Austrian fron tier and, in view of past perform ances, it is considered reasonable to assume that Germany will throw great mass of troops on this front and endeavor to sweep into Italy and hold ground there just as she has done in Poland, Belgium and France: Davie County.

Executors. friinTtf BANKERS IGED 10 CO-OPERATE WITH Fl «OUL MATERIAL HAS ENTERED THE BANK VAULTS OF THE NATION. The Bank a Financial Power House to the Community. By Peter Radford. One of the greatest opportunities in the business life of the nation lies In practical co-operation of the coun try banks with the farmer In building agriculture and the adventure is laden with greater possibilities than any forward movement now before the American public. A few bankers have loaned money to farmers at a low rate of interest, and ofttimes without compensation, to buy blooded livestock, build silos, fertilize the land, secure better seed, hold their products for a betetr mar ket price, etc. The banker In con tributing toward improving the grade of livestock; the quality of the seed and the fertility of the soil, plants in the agricultural life of the community a fountain of profit, that, like Tenny son’s brook, runs on and on forever. Community Progress a Bank Asset. The time was when money loaned on such a basis would severely test the sanity of the banker; such trans actions would pain the directors like a blow in the face. A cashier who would dare to CBSt bread upon waters that did not return buttered side up in time for annual dividends would have to give way to a more capable man. This does not necessarily mean that the bankers are getting any better or that the milk of human kindnesss is being imbibed more freely by our finan ciers. It Indicates that the bankers are getting wiser, becoming more able fin anciers and the banking Industry more competent/- The vision of the builder is crowding out the spirit of the pawn- - broker. A light has been turned on a new world of Investment and no usurer ever received as large returns on the investment as these progres sive bankers, who made loans to uplift industry. The bankers have always been liberal city builders, but they are now building agriculture. A Dollar With a 8oul. It is refreshing in this strenuous commercial life to find so. many dol lars with souls. When a dollar is ap proached to perform a task that does hot directly yield the highest rate of interest, we usually hear the rustle of the eagle’s wings as it soars up ward; when a dollar is requested to return at the option of the borrower, it usually appeals to the Goddess of Liberty for its contractural rights; when a dollar is asked to expand in volume to Buit the requirements of industry, it usually talks solemnly of its redeemer, but soul material has entered into the vaults of our banks and rate, time and volume have a new basis of reckoning In so far as the ability of some of the bankers permit them to co-operate in promot ing the busineBB of farming. God Almighty’s Noblemen, These bankers are God Almighty’s noblemen. Heaven lent earth the spirit of these men and the angels will help them roll in place the cornerstones of empires. They are not philanthropists; they are wise bankers. The spirit of the builder has given them a new vision, and wisdom has visited upon them busi ness foresight. The cackle of the hen, the low of kine and the rustle of growing crops echo in every bank vault In the nation and the Bhrewd banker knows that he can more effectively increase his deposits by putting blue blood in the veins of livestock; quality in the yield of the soil and value into agricultural products, than by busi ness handshakes, overdrafts and gaudy calendars. Taking the community into part nership with the bank, opening up a ledger account with progress, making thrift and enterprise stockholders and the prosperity of the country an asset to the bank, put behind it stability far more desirable than a letterhead bearing the names of all tb> distinguished citizens of the com munity. The bank is the financial power house of the community and blessed is the locality that has an up-to-date banker. POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS It is a sad day for Christianity when the church bells call the communicants together for a political prayer meet ing. Such gatherings mark the high tide of religious political fanaticism, put bitterness into the lives of men; fan the flames of class hatred and de stroy Christian influence In the com munity. The spirit actuating such meetings is anarchistic, un-Christlike .and dangerous to- both church and state.

There is one gray haired son of the Confederacy who enjoyed the reunion at Richmond this year as none other of the thousands who vere there, a statement that ap pears to be pretty strong, but which -it the same time seems to be unas- ailable. He began the enjoyment it the event on May 4. when he left his home at Forsyth, Qa., and ue is still enjoying it. He was in Greensboro Snnday and admitted it. The ieason is that he walked the entire distance from his home to the former capital of the con stellation of states for which he fought back yonder 60 years ago; And be is just 76 years young; at least be will be in October. He is on bis way back home now, much happier than the men who went in i Pullman palace car to greet their comrades of the grey. German W. Sheram ia the re markable old man who made this pilgrimage to meet and Bhake hands with the friends with whom he touched shoulders in the trenches that are now covered with daisies. He passed through Greensboro en- ronte to the reuion but he was in a hurry then. He came back as far as Greensboro on the train, but he isn’t Biire that he will ride all the way. He hasn’t decided abont that yet. He is out on the lark of his life and isn’t in any particular hurry to end it. He is marching agaiD; and perhapston the many days during which he was trudg ing across four states there rang in his fonl the strains of martial mnsic to which he charged the enemy as a youth.

From his h'onie in Monroe coun ty Georgia, (as the crow flies, it is approximately 600 miles to Bich mond. The route he traveled, ad: ded many miles to this. He . fol lowed the ro-nte of the National highway; and he estimates that in all that distance he did not ride over 30 mileu. On only one or two occasions did be ride' when on the outside of the corporate IimitB of a town. In canny cases, where his coming was - anticipated, be was met by a delegation of citizens and given an escort of honor through their town or city. For the people with whom he has come In contact during this pil grimage, Veteran Sheram has only words of the biggest praise. These sons and daughters of the Cofeder- acy old aud young, he says,, have treated him as a father or com rade owing to their station along life’s highway. Not until now has there been any one who would ao cept money from him for anything. He left his home with $11, and when he reached Bichmond on the atteruoon of May 26 jnst 22 days after the Btart,. hiswas the possessor of $14.

Thns by unanimous vote was -rthe iniquitous, threatening head of sin lopped off. With the banishment of bio however, unanimity ceased and the town of Warraeu, through its duly elected representatives, set out to prove that to be good is not neces sarily to be doll. Mayor Canfield, who is seventy-four, rose to her feet, gray of hair and qniet of man ner. Stood as a mother might stand before children. After prayer a lively argument started. Mayor Canfield: “Gentleman, hereby, appoint the following members of my Cabinet—Town Marshal, Floyd Hicks.” TruBtee James Wallace: “ I ob ject.

There is no escaping the market problem and the highest development of agriculture will not be attained until it Ib solved, for a market In as necessary for the producer as land on-which to grow his crop. Governmental and eduo&ttonal insti tutions have spent $180,000,000 In the United States during the past ten years for improving soil production and improving seedc^ahd plants, but very little attention and less money has been given to the marketing side ot agriculture. The problem is a monumental one and one which w ill never be solved until it gets within the grasp of a gigantic organization where master minds can concentrate the combined experience and wisdom ot the age upon it. It In a problem which the termers, merchants, bankers, editors and statesmen most unite In solving. The Farmers' Union stands for all there is In terming from the most sdentlflo methods of seed selection to the most systematic and profitable plans of marketing, but does not be lieve in promoting one to the neglect ot the other. We consider the work of term demonstrators valuable and we ask that governmental and com mercial agencies seeking to help us, continue to give as their assistance and advioe, but we .believe that their influence should be extended to the marketing side of our farm problems also. We cannot hope-to develop manu facturing by over-production of the factory; we cannot build up mercan tile enterprisee by the merchants load ing tbeir shelves with surplus goods and no more can we develop agricul ture by glutting the market with a surplus ot products. Canght a DrinL Hickory Democrat. Five quarts of whiskey* and seven bottles of l>eer were emptied into the gutter in front of the express office here IastThursday by Officers Lentz and Sigmon. The whiskey and beer was seized from Emiline Smyre, a uegress, here several months ago, and was ordered de stroyed A negro standing by with his mouth “ watering,” stood it for a few miontes and then grabbed his bat and held it under one of the bottles. The hat leaked and he didn’t get a decent dram that way, so he hiked himself away and soon procured a cap, in which he caught a driuk that gave him sat isfaction. BEWARE of OINTMENTS (or CATARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY. There is more Catarrh in this sec tion 0 the conntry tbau all other diseases put together, aud until the last few ye»rs was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a lotol dis ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatmtnt, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease and therefore requires consti tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Che ney& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonIul. It acts directly on the blood and mu cous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send or cir culars and testimonials. Sold by Druggiste, 75c.

There was much excitement in our town shortly before 3 o'clock Friday morning when a terrific explosion broke the stillness of the night and Jailor Harbin discovered that burg lars had brokenanto the front doors of the postoffice and blown the safe. Mr. Harbin hurriedly dressed. and ran up to the new court house, dis charging his pistol as he ran. The burglars heard him and ran around the bank building and entered an automobile near .the garage and started toward Winston. In a few minutes after the explosion a crowd of citizens, together with the post master, were at the scene, and an investigation revealed the fact that the robbers had prized open the front doors of the postoffice, robbed the stamp drawer of about 33 cents and secured about $15 worth of 1,3. 5.8.15.20 and a few special deliv ery and documentary stamps. -The robbers failed to get into the safe which has been blown three times in the past. It bad been repaired and the outer edge warped so that there was a large crack around the top edge. Nitroglycerine was poured into this crack, much of which ran through to the floor. The explosion served to bend the outer casing of the door, but did not break the lock The sheriff notified all the neighbor ing towns by ’phone, and Winston officers were notified that the rob bers were headed that way and had passed Farmington in a car running without lights. Winston officers were immediately dispatched on mo torcycles and when near Muddy Greek they came upon an automo bile standing in the road ,-with a man busily engaged in repairing a punc tured tire. The man made a break for the woods and escaped. The car was a Ford, and it carried a bogus number, it is thought. In the car was found two suit cases filled with clothing, a quantity of tools, nitro glycerine, etc. There is thought to have been three of the burglars. A 8uit found bore the date it was made with a New York tailors name and the name of the owner which was “Lum.” A short distance from the car was found a mail bag carry ing a tag showing that it had been consigned to the Mocksville office for use in conveying the inail from Mocksville to Comatzer. It is the theory of the officers that there were three persons implicated in the rob bery,' and- that while on* was repair ing the machine the others carried the mail sacV to a secluded spot and were.esxamining the contents to se cure only such matter as would be of value to them. The automobile was carried to Winston by officers of that city. A thorough search was made all day Friday by Davie. and Forsyth officers, but the robbers made a clean getaw ay.. Officers in many cities and towns m this and adjoining States have been notified, and it is hoped tjiat the robbers will yet be captured. This is still an other strong proof that Mocksville needs a night policeman and needs one mighty bad, the arguments - of some of the board to the contrary notwithstanding. If any more burg lars ever visits the town, which they will, they should take a lock of hair off the head of every city father who is not in favor of giving the taxpay ers a little protection from burglars, fire and sneak thieves.: Such actioii on the part ofc the burglars would “wake up” our officers and spur them on to worthy action.' Hie big $25,000 fire which visited us -some weeks|ago, would doubtless never occurijsd had a night policeman been oiuduft. It issaidthatfone atitch in tioi^ saves, m ne.^f^.gom etim es it saves more than that.

Atty. : WOMAN’8 SUFFRAGE FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF LEADING I FARMERS. Why Bhould women vote? Tbat Is the Question that Is ringing from ocean to ocean and reverberating fcom the Canadlao boundary to the Uexl- can border, it is the mission of a newpaper to' give the news and the action of the Texas Farmers’ Union in opposing woman’s suffrage when that question was recently before the Texas legislature is significant as representing the attitude of the or ganized plowmen. We reproduce In part the argument presented by Hon. W. D. Lewis, president.of the Texas Fanners’ Union, in opposing the bill: “It is gratifying to note that It Is not the farmer’s wife who is clamoring for the ballot She is too busy trying to make happier homes, mold ing the minds of future citizens and sharing with her husband the cares of life to indulge In political gossip. The ballot will give her no relief from drudgery, give no assistance In cloth ing the children or bring to the home additional comforts, conveniences or opportunities in life. It is, as a rule, the city woman promoted to idleness by prosperity, who is leading the suf fragette movement "From many standpoints, perhaps a woman has as much right to vote as a man. So has she as much right to plow as a man; she has as much right to work In a factory as a man; she has as much right to shoulder a musket as a man, but we would rather she would not do so from choice and we regret that necessity ofttimes compels her to earn a living by en gaging In gainful occupations. We do not consider misfortune a qualifica tion for suffrage or a business acci dent a reason for granting ^franchise. We are opposed to woman at the ballot box the same as we are op posed to woman In the field, In the factory or In the army and for the self-same • reasons. We had. rather see her plant flowers than sow wheat; gather bouquets than pick cotton and rear children than raise political Is sues, although she may have as much right to do one as the other. Opposed to Unsexlng Humanity. ”9ex qualification for suffrage may have its apparent Inconsistencies. No general rule adjusts Itself perfectly to all conditions. It Is a favorite ar gument advanced byUhe proponents oi. woman's suffrage that many cultivated and noble women are far more capa ble of intelligently exercising sov ereignty than a worthless negro, but the South never was anxious for t!9gro suffrage, and while culture and refinement, and even morality, are deslsable virtues, they are not the only qualifications for franchise. "The primary. Inherent and insep arable fitness for suffrage is support ing a family. The plow handle, the forge and Uie struggle for bread af ford experience necessary to properly mark the ballot. Government Is a great big business and civilization from the very beginning assigned woman the home and man the busi ness affairs of life. "There has been much freakish leg islation enacted during the past de cade that no doubt appeals to woman’s love for the ridiculous, but to under take to unsex the human race by law is the height of legislative folly and a tragedy to mankind.' "We are opposed to the equal rights of woman—we want her to ever re main our superior. We consider woman’s desire to seek man's level the yellow peril of Twentieth Century civilization. "Woman Is the medium through which angels whisper their messages to mankind; It Is her hand that plants thoughts in the intellectual vineyard; it is through her heart that hope, love and sympathy overflow and bless man kind. Christ—the liberator of womaa- kind—was satisfied toteach the lessons of life and He was a man. He chose to rule over human hearts and re fused worldly power and men followed after Him, women washed His feet, little children climbed upon His knees and the Ruler of the' universe said that in Him He was well pleased. Can woman find a higher calling?” T H E M IS T O C U S When Themistooles was asked by his hoBt a t a dinner party to enter tain the guests by i>laying the lute, he replied that he could not play the fiddle, but that he could make a small town a great city. We have In this nation many politicians who are good "fiddlers,” but they cannot make a small town a great city. We are over* run with orators who can play upon: the passions of the people, but they can't put brick and mortar together/ We need builders.

At last, my husband got iue a botte ot Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I coa- meaced taking it From the very dose, I could tell it was helping me. ; can now walk two taSes without its tiring me, and am doing all my work.” If you are ail run down from womanly troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Itkashelped more than a million women, in its 30 years of continuous success, and should surely help you, too. Your druggist has sold Cardui for years.

The folly of writing vague and in digested general legislation into a tar iff bill Is emphasized by the decision of the court of cuntoms appeal. Inter preting section four of the Underwood law. That section, In effect, but not In form, I. a contradiction In terms. ,Mr. Underwood induced the house of representatives to vote a rebate of 5 per cent on ail duties Imposed on merchandise imported In vessels ot American register. That sort of dis crimination had been considered by the framers of every taTlff hill back to the days of the Civil war and had been rejected because it conflicted with the "favored nation” clauses of a great number of Otir treaties with other maritime countries. The senate would not agree-to such a scheme, upsetting our foreign rela tions and exposing our commerce to retaliation. It tacked on to the house provision an amendment declaring that the section should not be con strued as abrogating or Impairing any existing treaties with foreign coun tries. But instead of dropping the discriminating duty, Mr. Underwood persisted on passing it. On In this du bious form to plague the treasury de partment. • The department naturally took the view that congress waB Drying to put over a practical Joke. TMe secretary of (be treasury refused, to enforce the law, holding that it could not have been the Intent of congress to deplete the revenues by allowing a 5 per cent discount on duties paid on goods brought here not only in American but In British, German, Swedish, Nor wegian, Italian, Dutch and sundry oth er‘vessels of foreign register.' Accord ing to this- ruHng, ‘sustained by the department of justice;- congress did not know what it was doing and was acquitted of legal responsibility oh the ground of Ignorance and incompe tence. The court of customs appeals is not so lenient. It holds that congress did not let this botch slip through inno cently. The language means some thing. and the court drawB from it the surface meaning that the rebate to American shipping holds good and that a similar rebate must be allowed to the shippers of all other nations having equal treatment treaties with the United States. Congress must stick to its word, in spite of the comicality of a situation which will compel the treasury to re fund about $20,000,000 of duties whose remission has been considered only a neat political and personal^bluff on Mr. Underwood’s pan. / May Lead to Complication*. This government has notified twen ty-one ot the leading nations' of the world that it intends to terminate pro visions of existing treaties which are 'In conflict with the seamen’s law, en acted at the last session of congress. Notice has been given as required by law through the American embas sies and legations Just within the 90 day periods prescribed when the act was approved. It remains to be seen whether the -nations concerned will consent to the terminations of certain provisions in -the treaties in question. If not, then •the entire scope of the treaties will have to be cancelled. This would lead to an embarrassing situation,1 as the treaties Involved cover a wide Held of. !general commercial relations. Ii First-Work for Congress. It is entirely clear that the incom ing congress will have to give prompt iand earnest attention to the treasury's Condition. The deficiency taxes, cred iting them with the whole of the in creased internal revenue and miscel laneous receipts, have added but $38,-. '000,000 so far to the Income. With lIhis excessive credit they have barely !replaced the loss of customs revenue lOy the "free sugar” experiment.

It’s also highly important to see things as they are, ialber than to view them as we would like for them to be. England has for centuries domi nated the world by power and by might instead of juBtic and right. She has always been diplomatically •‘crooked.” Sheis notorious for her intrigues and schems against other and smaller Nations of the world whom she has crushed and subjected for the purpose of adding more power and territory to her vast domain, and to retain the honor of being called the mistress of the seas. Her perfidy and dishonor has been exemplified on many occasions with her relation with the Emperor Napoleon I, conspicusly in regard to complying with the treaty of Amiens, which document was duly signed by the noble MaiqiiiB Corn wallis and which stipulated that the British army was to evacuate Malta, which they never did. Tbe failure of the English to comply with this treaty was the bone of contention which caused.the renew al of hostilities in 1804 after more than a year of peace. Even after Napoleon, with bis own hand, had wiotea personal letter to Kiog George imploring the king to keep this treaty and stop the flow of human blood. To this remarkable and concilia tory letter the king contemptuously replied. ' Every statesman and lover of good diction and history should read this remarkable letter, found, verbatim, in Arnault’s Life ot Na poleon. It is also a historical fact that thirty plots were hatched iu Eog land to assassinate the First Consul, to many of which the government was privy. These miscreants and wouldbe murderers were paid in English money. Fortunately most these plots were discovered by the vigilance of the police and did not materialize excepct, perhaps, the explosion of the infernal machine. TheEngliBh papers published, at the .time, an old edict by Crom well, against Bonaparte: Killing ing;is no crime. Great Britain has never bad any Iqve for America, “ not so as you could tell it.” She always deals witli us with a bidden baud. She has fought us twice and war with her was narrowly averted at other times. Mr. Madison tried bard to.- keep peace with Britain but it was im possible to do so. The conditions which caused the war with the ad ministration-of President Madison were similar to those now exant. Shetook sailors irom American merchantmen,- and insulted odr ships of-war while she took steps to ruiu our commerce like she has against us and Germanv today. So nwny.of ourships of the Iioe wero destroyed that Congress was f treed to declare war in 1812 Evem the schoolboy knows that the Bri tish soldiers burnt the Capitol at Wushingion in 1814 and forced the loyal D olly Madison to flee io affiriousrain-stormatnight, to a Iitt Ie tavern in an apple = orchard; fcbrfe Presideut found . refuge in a WT1Vefched hovel in the woods.

When a blackberry pie is cut that way it is bo easy to drive it into that big gest opening in your face. : A great high monument onght to be erected to the woman who started that way of cutting a blackberry pie. Did you ever go to a sort of tony place, where they brought you a little bit of a square cut piece of blackberry pie on a saucer-like dish and brought a fork along for you to eat it Witbf Ifyouw ereever np a gainst that kind of blackberry pie eating, the essence of the whole thing was lost. Eating blackberry pie with a fork. No red blooded Americancitizea waats to. eat it that way. The only real way to eat black berry pie is to take up the wedge-! shaped quarter section of a pie and shove it into your face with' your good right band and then repeat that operation three or ,fonr times.: The good Imrd gave the Hebrews | manna—and those same Hebrews complained of the fare. We are living in better times than was that of the days when manna rained. Alongthefence rows, the ditch banks, the old fields—everywhere throughout this good land of ours —the blackberries are ripening. Blackberry pie time is here. What a pity it is that blackberries . do not grow where the armies of Eu rope are entrenched aiid men are shooting down their fellowmen with reimtless cruelty. Every manwho has feasted pn blackberry pie is. aa| ad vocate ot peace.

Ihnried at 90 Tears, “ Unde Bob” Knox, of Daltor1 Ohio, 90 years old, Mexican war veteran, farmer, poet, and marricr of women has found his seventh wife, He has been won by Miss Jennie DeWltt, of Lima, Ohio, 54. “ Uncle Bob” chose her out of 279 other women who have sent him" love messages during the past two months. When “Unde Bob” got a legal separation from hi. sixth wife, - he informed the court that he had de termined to seek immediately for Mrs. Knox the seventh, being con-' vinced of the truth of the Biblical injunction, “ It is not good for man to live alone.” The man who ear tied the mail on route No. 2 out from Dalton soon began to feeI of his shoulders to see if wings were sprouting, for Cupid didn’t have a thing on him. Great bundles of love letters directed to “Mr. It. S. Knox,” filled his mail bag, and a / big part of his load disappeared ' after he had damped these mis-1 sives into the home of “ Uncle! Bab.” I From practically every State in ; the U nion came the letters. There' were exactly 297 different women ] who expressed a willingness to' marry “ Uncle Bob.” Many seat; their photographs, and be bad a ! bard time making a selection.

He found $1,(100 in gold coin, some of which was Spanish, Eng lish and of other foreign countries. A considerable sum of greenback and silver was also found about the premises. About $2,000 was ou deposit in aG Asheboro bank. But before the administrator could get to the home after his appointment some persons unknown to the ad ministrator had gone to the home and done some searching. It is be lieved that theg found some of the money and got away with it- There was also fonnd a quantity of gold in bars, worth several hun dred dollars. No doubt many of the old gold coins found about the place are worth several times their intrinsic value, because they are rare, "Some of them bear dates of more than 100 yeaxs old.
