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.

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.

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.

She was known as a mi-er, possessed cf considerable estate, and a9 soon as the administrator qualified he har­ ried to the home of the late Miss Cox and began searching and dig­ ging for money that: was supposed to be hidden abont the promises. 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.

The editor of The Kecord has re ceived a swat from Canada, and a mighty swat it is or was. In our issue of June 16th, we had a little editorial squib to the effect that England had declared war again-.! Germany last fall, but up to the present the English army had kept out of all the battles on land and sea An old friend of ours living in Van­ couver, British Columbia, in some minner unknown to us, got hold of a copy of our paper containing the said article, and proceeded to declare war against the editor. Bro. Gret n tdls us that 10,000 Canadians have already been killed since the begin­ ning of the war, and that 50,000 more are on the fi rid of battle. The Record said nothing about the Cana­ dian army, but was speaking ot the English anny, We read a number of daily, papers and to save our “little soul,” as Bro. Green says, we have been unable to locate the Eng­ lish army. We read of where the Russians h av e retreated, where France has advanced;, where Italy thinks she will win a decisive battle, but when it comes to the British Lion the associated press dispatches re main as dumb as oysters, Weagrre ,with some thihgs that friend Green says, but not all. We want it,under­ stood that we are neutial on this war question, but we believe that had Eagland fought as often and as hard as Belguim there would have been a different tale to tell. Bro. Green says be may come down to North Carolina, take us behind the old school house and give us a thrashing for what we said. This is doubtless what we have been in need of for a long time, but we had rather receive a licking behind our handsome new school house. We are glad for sev­ eral reasons that Bro. GrCen wrote us. Itshowsconclusively that The Record is read throughout North America and the British possessions and that it pays to advertise. It al s > shows us that the Canadians are scrapping for their brethren across the sea and that we are not forgot­ ten by an old friend. We will ad­ vise our readers when we locate the lost army. Thereis a latch-string on our front door, and we would be glad to welcome friend Green back to the best town, the greatest State and the grandest country on the face of the earth; the “land of the free and home of the brave;” where the Star Spangled Banner proudly waves over a hundred million patriotic sons and daughters who do not know what the word fear means, and whose ancestors spoke in thunder tones on May 20, 1775, and made their voice heard throughout the civilized world.

The editor spent a couple of days last week out among the farmers of the county, the best people in the world and the people who feed us all. The prospects for a bumper corn crop is the best we have seen for many years, and if refreshing showers visit us but few of our peo­ ple will be buying corn next spring. The farmers are busy laying by their corn and threshing wheat and oats. Wewerefavorably impressed with the blackberry crop also. The ber­ ries are large and juicy, and are mighty sweet. Last year they were small and bitter and the crop was slim besides. The man who lives in the country is fortunate indeed, for he is living close to nature and na­ ture’s heart. Most of our farmers are living well and making money, and while the man who wotks in the shop is living on short rations and striving to keep the wolf from the door, the farmer has plenty and to spare.

London, June 30.—Driven back over their own frontier north of Lembergand forced to cross the River Gniia Lipa, in southeast Galicia, the Russian armies continue to re­ treat before the Austro-Germans along a front of approximately 250 miles. . Berlin records progress in virtual­ ly the entire southeastern theatre, altho violent fighting still isrin pro­ gress beyond the Gnila Lipa which joins the Dniester at Halicz. Having forced a passage of this stream General von Linsingen’sarmy is presumably astride the railway running from Halicz to Lemberg and StaniSlau, and now doubtless.is afth-: ing at the line which runs fro.ro Lembergto Odessa thru Tarnopol It seems evident that Germanv -Is bent on further punishment for the Russians before relaxing the in­ tensity of her Galician campaign, but with the Russians across the frontier, the Germans will have to rely almost solely on road transport and their advance will be slower. • The British pres3 still voices the hope that the Russians soon will find a tenable line and deliver a counter blow, but there is a note of anxiety in nearly all the accounts, together with the warning that either the rap­ ture of Warsaw or the seizure of-the great railway lines which supply. it would be disastrous to Russia and surely would be followed by another general German offensive in West.

By Peter Radford. Thera never wa» a time In the his­ tory ot tbla nation when we needed statesmen more or agitators less than at the present moment. The oppor­ tunities now afforded us on land and ;Bea demand the best there is In state- ' craft and the possibilities that are con- i fronting us call for national issues 'that unite the people, build industry and expand trade. The agricultural and Industrial development of this 'nation has suffered severely at the ‘handa of agitators who have sent torpedoes crashing into the port side : of business and whose neglect of the interests of the farmer make? them little less than political criminals. We :want no more ot these evil spirits to ■ predominate In government. Too long their hysterical cry has sent a shiver .down the spinal column of industry. . Too long have the political agitators • capitalized strife, pillaged progress and murdered opportunity. An indus­ trial corpse is not a desirable thing, a crippled business an achievement or neglect an accomplishment about which any Tepresentative of the gov­ ernment has a right to boaBt. Issues that Breed Agitators Should be Eliminated. , The political agitator muBt be elim­ inated from public life before thought­ ful consideration can be given to a constructive program In government. The liquor question is the most pro­ lific breeding ground for agitators and whether pro or anti, the hatch is equally as undesirable. This article is In no sense a discussion of the li­ quor question but deals solely and by way of Illustration with the politioal products of that issue. Other sub­ jects ,will be dealt with In the order of their Importance. In the history of our government the liquor issue has never produced a constructive statesman worth men­ tioning and it never will. It has sent more freaks to' Courses, Lilliputians to the Senate and Incompetents to office than any other political issue under the sun. The recent experience of the Eng­ lish Parliament which lashed Itself Into a fury over the liquor question has a lesson that it is well for the farmers of this nation to observe; for :the subject In some form or other Is constantly before the public for solu­ tion and ofttimes to the exclusion of .mor<j important problems to the Amer­ ican plowmen.i .Too Many Political Drunkards. ; Lloyd-Oeorge, the Prohibition leader of Europe who led the prohibition fight iin England, has declared that he will I never, again take a drink politically ;and there are many American politi­ cians—pro and anti--who would render j their country a service by climbing .on the water wagon or signing a pledge .of political temperance. Too often I our legislative halls are turned into political bar-rooms and many of the members become Intoxicated on Uquoi I discussions. We have too many polit­ ical drunkards—pro and anti—In our ■public affairs. No one who is a slave to the political liquor habit Is quite so capable of dealing with the busi­ ness affairs of government as the !sober and industrious. We have few Ipubllo men In this day who are strong renough to resist the temptation o! !strong drink politically and when the deacon Rum once becomes firmly en­ trenched In the mind of a politician, ha is less capable of meeting the de­ mands for constructive statesmanship now confronting this nation. We have In this country too many red«osed politicians—both pro and anti.

I iDomestic Issues Will Be Fought Oul In the Next Election, and the j Result Is Not Hard to I Forecast. ; AU over the country the forces ol concentration are at work to bring th« Iteptiblicau party into a condition fit /or success. Ixing before involvement o/ the United States with Germany the country wub assured of the return ot the Hepubllcans to power. Since the Democratic party has shown by the Bryan break that, aa Mr. John Sharp Williams said, it can always be counted upon to do the wrong thing at the wrong time, there is not now the semblance of prospect for the re­ turn of the Democrats to. power. The divider Is abroad, and he has a high­ ly specialized faculty for doing that kind of work. With the United States free from the wiar, as it doubtless will be. and with great-praises to the pres­ ident of all the people, the issues to be fought out will be domestic, with, perhaps. Mexlcoi featuring somewhat. Upon the domestic issues the Demo­ crats are foredoomed to blasting. But wltk Bryan IeadUng off sections of the party, they will be doubly doomed and the Republican^ take no pleasure whatever In the contribution of Mr. Bryan to Democratic confusion, as he hurts his party Incident to hurtfpg the country. ‘ Nevertheless, this Bryan factor Is a strong one in the general situation. When congress convenes the Demo­ crats will prove, they' have learned nothing by seeking to;effect passage once more of a ship-punehase measure, and possibly wtfth sucress. This will simply be the making of assurance doubly sure and ^taking a bond of fate that the Democrats will go down to'de- foat In the national election. The mills of destiny are grinding the Republican grist and the iefcurn of (hat party to power will be Inevitable upon, the coun- try passing upon the recoiis of the Democrats. Into the general equation enters the question of whether Mr. Wilson will run and thds will doubt­ less be governed by', tfhe developing ambitions of his form er associate in the cabinet. - I The Shipping, Bill.

There may be need for Improvement in transportation facilities to South American ports, thoi ,gh those engaged In trading to their i bavd repeatedly declared that there is no dliSculty In setting the goods carried when we have them to-send. But if private caidtal sees no prrjftt.Hn supplying this need, the govern; meat, connot expect to make any. M oreover, as the-de­ bates on the ship purct iase bill plainly showed, any govern ment scheme would be a discouragement, not a help, In the dewelopmei tt of trade.

July 6 —Frank Holt, the former Cornell University instructor who shot J. P. Morgan in bis home near Glen Gove last Satur­ day. committed suicide in jail here tonight. While some of the jail au­ thorities declared that Holt killed himself by climbing through an opening at the top of his cell door and then plunging to the narrow court below. Holt’s keeper, Jeremiah O’Ryan, said he was positive that prisoner was killed In his own cell where he found the body. There were many conflicting reports as to the manner in which Holt met bis death, but it was definitely estab­ lished through Doctor Guy Cleg- horn, the jail physician, that Holt died of a fractured skull. Early to­ day Holt had made an ineffectual attempt to kill himself by severing an artery with a lead pencil. Holt left a letter to his wife. Hesaidhis motive in going to see Morgan and in placing the bomb in the Capitifi at Washington was to stop the ex­ port of war munitions to the Euro­ pean belligerents. A Sermon on Flies. Got any flies at your house, Mis- tert If not I might spare you just a few of mine for seed. I had fairly good success with my fles thia summer. The season has been favorable, and no epidemic ot disease has broken out among them. Of course there have been a few accidents in which some of my flies have been prematurely out off, but the percentage of fatalities has been small. M ostofthe deaths among my flies have resulted from the care- lpsaness of my.wifis^wbp, .on. sev­ eral occasions, has unthooghtedly left sheets of sticky paper lying around the house. To my certain knowledge I have lost 38 flies in this manner, and there may have been a few others. When a fly gets on that paper you just as well knock it in ' the head, for you can’t it oft all in one piece to save your neck. And if you should happen to get one oft without the loss of a leg or wing, it would be a cripple for life and would never be able to marry and raise a family. If there is one thing a fly eojoys more than any­ thing else, it Is raising a family. That seems to be a P*rt of their I protracted meeting lasts all sum­ mer. I boughtmesome screen doors to keep my flies' in the boose, thinking that perhaps the outdoor air might not be healthy for them, but occasionally one will slip oat and rambls off. However, h e usually comes back about meal time and brings several of his triends to dinner. Everythingoonsidered, Isuppose my flies are doiog as well as could be expected.—Fool Killer.

July gets its name from the Latin “Julius,” given it a long time ago by the Romans who named the for Gains Julius Caesar. But then uo body cares auytbiog about where its name came from. The natural wonder is, where does it get its heat? When July turns the sunshine on, there’s something doing every­ where. It seems we’ll surely melt away aod disappear into the air. It puts a blister on the neck and plasters freckles o’er the face until we feel we surely must look little else than a disgrace. We look upon the clothes we wear and won­ der why ’tis so decreed we cau’t discard the whole shebang and from their prickly heat be freed. July, too is the month of picnics. A picnic is aa exrnrison into the woods, where we feed ourselves to ants, chigres and mosquitoes. If it were not for picnic parties these insects might b e exterminated within a few years. Picnics, too, bring rains when all things else fail. Tbeneveraoommunity feels itself drying up all it needs do is to plan a big picnic. It will in ­ variably bring a rain with it. The'first few days of July are looked upon with appreheusion by all parents. After the first four days the suspense is alleviated and they pay no more attention to him until the next. Fourth rolls a- ronnd. The movement for a 'tSane Fourth” is gaining favor every year and its promoters now have only to start another movement for sane parents, when the nation’s birthdays will pass off as quietly as a deaf and dumb pair’s wedding. —Exchange. *7 " T1 \\ T n v d a f Man’s Experience. “In the Mtmmer of 1888 I had a very severe attack of cholera morbus.

Take a walk through any of the cemeteries throughout the country and you will believe with us that fotfis are passing away. With silent tread you pass the last resting place of the individual who blew into an empty gun. The modest tombstone of the hired girl who lighted the fire with kero sene. and the grass-covered mound that cover the remains of a boy who took a mule by the tail. The tall monument of the man who jumped off the car to save a ten rod walk. Side by side lay the remains of the ethereal creature who always kept her corset laced up to the last hole and the intellectual idiot that rode a bicycle nine miles in ten minutes. Here reposes the young doctor who was foolish enough to take a dose of his own medicine, and the1 old fool who married a young wife. Right yonder in the northeast corn­ er, where the gentle breezes sigh through the weeping willows, lies the fellow who told hi3 mother-in- law she lied. Down chere in the potter’s field with his feet sticking out to the rude Blastsofwinter and the blistering rays of the summer’s sun, stretches all earthly remains of the misguided I regulator who tried to lick the edi-1 tor, while the broken bones of the; man who wouldn’t pay for his paper j lay piled up in Uie fence corner. i Nearby, his grave unmarked re-1 poses the mouldering dust of the; editor who starved to death trying j to run a first-class paper in a second; class town. j Righttherein the path directly in front of the entrance, obstruct­ ing the way, is the grave of the man who tried to run the town. He Favors Dog Law. Newton, June 27.—CoIin M. Yoder, whose loss oi a $50 cow by hydrophobia some time since was told of in this correspondence, has lost a $100 horse Irom the same trouble. A dog belonging to oue of his neighbors in the Houth Fork section went mad and bit the ani­ mals on the last day of April. The cew went mad about two weeks ago, but it took 56 days for the horse to develop the disease. In both cases, Mr. Yoder watched the animals closely, and when the cow began to showing signs, he ’phoned his neighbors and 250 peo­ ple gathered to see what would happen. As many or more gath­ ered to see the home, and they had some sight for their pains. Roped to a tree a halt mile from the Yoder house, the horse raged like a de­ mon until they got scared he might get loose and do things, and bad him shot. Mr. Yoder is now out $150 in clean cash on account of a worth­ less dog which enjoyed the special privilege accorded him by the State of Noith Carolina, to roam abroad and do as be pleased; and the farmer is strongly of the opinion that something ought to be done abont the dog menace.

St, Louis, July 7.—A tornado and cloudburst swept St. Louis and St. Charles counties, Missouri, late to­ day and caused damage that may aggregate a half million. They iso­ lated several towns and blew half of a passenger train off of the tracks. Four inches of rain fell in the dis­ trict in half an hour. No definite reports of the loss of life were received at 9 o’clock, men brought to St. Charles, Mo., the ru­ mor that St. Peters, a village, was blown away and forty persons. were kill.

Washington, Jnly 9—Germany’s reply to th® American note on sub­ marine warfare, delivered to Am babsador Gerard in Berlin last night, sbontd reach WasbinKtoti probably tomorrow aod nndonbt edly by Sunday. Officials here realize that there probably has been no essential change in the form in which the reply was outlined by the Berlin foreign office to Ambassador Ger aril. On tbe basis of that outline, the American government declined to engage in any supplementary negotiations because it was felt (be German proposals could not be ac­ cepted by the United States with­ out the sacrifice of neutral- rights. Washington. July 10.—The Ger man note to tbe United States says that Germany will protect Ameri can lives, and their intention ii n^t to interfere with legitimate trade between the United States aud other countries, but note in sists that 6faips carrying American passengers will not be permitted to carry contraband of war aod that such ships be provided with distinguishing marks so that com manders of submarines may know how to proceed.

W ith the exception of the bridge over little Dntchman ci eek, work on Iiedell’s portion of the Federal aided highway has been complet ed. When the work on the bridge is finished, which will be within few days, tbe highway will be com­ plete from Statesville to Winston Salem, giving-, to Iredell, Davie and Forsyth counties one ot the finest roads in the country, which will serve as a model for future road construction in the State The construction of the road bas been under the direct supervision of national government engineers and was constructedcom pliance with the recommendations of the national good roads office. The expense of building the road was borne jointly by tbe three counties and the government, the county road forces being employed [The Kecord editor has traveled over this post road from Winstun (o Statesville, a distance of 541 miles, and believes it to be one of the finest roads in the State. So tar as we can see, there is but one thing lacking abont this road, and tbat is some neat sign boards at street corners and cross roads. So far as we know, there is not a sign on this road except two or three in this city, all of which have the distances to vaiious towns put down wrong. Each of the three counties traversed by this road should see that neat guide posts are erected at all cross roads and forks, so that travelers can fiud their way without wasting so mud time enquiring tbe way and the distance to certain places. The commissioners of tbe three coufi ties should look after this matter at their August meeting.—E d .] Traiii Derailed in Charlotte. Charlotte, July 7—Whatis thought to have been the work of train wreckers caused the derailment of passenger train No. 15, running be tween Statesville and this city, in the yards north of this city last night. The engine and three coaches w^ee derailed but did not turnover. Tbe fireman jumped and was slightly bruised, but, fortunately, no pas< sengers were hurt. The derailment of this train, which was in charge of Conductor Morrison and Engineer Fetner, arrived at the upper yards on time and had slowed down to the speed limit in order to pass through the yards without dan ger to tbe passengers, when they suddenly struck a broken switch and before the train could be stopped, the engine and three coaches had been derailed. Upon investigating the cause of the accident, it was discovered that a bolt and nut had been fastened be­ tween the switch point and the rail, thus forcing the switch open and tbe train, instead of taking the siding and crashing into a string of box cars, split the switch without doing any serious damage. The switch was sprung in such a way as to leave but little doubt but that it was done by some person, or persons, in an attempt to cause a wreck. - RaiIKoad detectives are already at work in an effort to ferret out the guilty parties and an early arrest is expected. MocktviIIe Community BaBdiag.

The Convention WBB called to otder bv Pierident Candell Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock. In the of Rev. Gray Carter, the address of welcome was delivered by W. A. Sain.

Theconvention met at 10 o'clock Sun­ day morning and was opened with a praise service, followed by the reading of the class reports by the delegates, which is the most interesting part of the meet­ ing. About thirty or forty classes were represented, and the reports showed that great good had been accomplished. Prof. J. L. Yandell, on "Give God a Chance,' was very good and a large audience en­ joyed his address. At the noon hour a bounteous dinner was spread on the grounds, and nearly a thousand. hungry people were fed and many baskets of geod things were left. At two o'clock Rev GrayCarter delivered a masterful address on ''What the Baraca-Philathea Classes Does For The Sunday School. His address has been spoken of as the best of the convention. The meeting was closed with prayer at 3:30, by President Caudell. The Binging during the conven­ tion, was led by MrJ John R. Williams, and was greatly enjoyed by all present.

Working oi the Mocksville Robbery The work of apprehending the rob­ bers who were concerned in the rob­ bery of the postoffice at Mocksville is in the hands of a government post- office inspector, who is at present working on the case. It was discov­ ered that the car which was found in tbe road between hereand the scene of the crime had been parked in a local garage for two nights pevinus to the crime, although per­ sons employed in the garage know of only one person that was connect­ ed with the car. This man register­ ed at the garage, but the officers iaye thi hkJ, it being believed that the name he registerd under was assumed. In the first report of the robbery it was stated that a bogus number was attached the car. A later search reveled what is thought to be a bone fide number secreted under a rear seat'. The officers believe that they have sufficient evidence to arrest several persona who they have been suspecting for many months and they also believe that the men who committed (he robbery are not na­ tives of North Carolina, but that their scope of operation is perhaps nation wide.—Union Republcan.

Salisbury Post, 1st. Coming down the Western road yesterday afternoon were fifty-five car load of horses from points west and which were being taken to Nor­ folk, Va., where they are turned over to agents of the British govern­ ment, placed upbn transports and shipped to Europe for service in the terrible war now raging there. It may be that they will never reach port; it is certain they will not if they are sighted by a German sub­ marine and sent to the bottom as the transport loaded with mules was Wednesday. This shipment going through yes­ terday was only one of the many. They have been passing for months and not only Norfolk and Newport News but other seaport paints have been seeing them sail away to Eu­ rope and thousands of horses and mules have gone over to be slaught- d. Thellfeofoneof these ani­ mals after being put into service there is said to be twenty days, so if those passing through yesterday reach their destination safely they will be dead with the next few weeks and others will be following to take their places. Looks just a little like cruelty to 'animals' on somebody’s part. It is said that the grade of animals now jgoing to Europe is far below those first shipped over. When the war opened agents of the fighting countries in the United States ac­ cepted nothing but the best of ani­ mals and these were plentiful. How­ ever, the number of these are de­ creasing and now it is said almost anything on four legs and called a horse or mule is bought for the death hopper on the European bat­ tlefield. him.

(Casper Gives Bond And Will Come Home. Winston Sentinel. Attoney A. E. Holtcn has re­ turned from Fort Smith, Ark., where he went B=Iew weeks ago Io represent Mr. John L. Caoper in the indictment brought against-him by the U. S. government in some whiskey esses, Mr. Holton re­ ports that Mr. Casper has given bail and is expected arrive home tonight or tomorrow. Mr. Holton had little to say a bout the Casper case, except to say that his defeudant at the time the alleged moGnehiue plants were be iug operated iu the heart of Fort Smith was engaged in business iu Kansas City. Mr. Holton does not think that the indictment against Mr. TbomaB McCoy, of As' e.ille, will amount to anything serious for the defendant. It appears tlis t Mr. McCoy, who is an ex reven e officer, only made loan of lifieeu thousand dollars to a Iirm at Fort Smith, the money being used to purchase a large quantity of whis­ key at a public sale made by the government. It was only a private transaction on the part of Mr. Mi* Coy, according to the information obtained by the ex district at­ torney. Accordingto a “ luminous” story appearing in last Sunday’s Fort Smith Times Record, Enos Booth, a former revenue officer, in his con­ fession to government officials, is quoted as saying that he received $10,000 in bribes from the parties alleged to be connected with the “ mooushining” plant at Fort Smith. Here are some extracts from the Times Kecord Btorj: Knox Booth, for more than a score of years one of the most trusted officials in the United States revenue service, has confessed thui he sold Itis honesty for a moon shiner’s graft.

Obtainable everywhere. Good Ex-Preildent Not often has the nation had a wtaer ex-president than William H. Taft. In every complication that tho present administration has faced— and it surely haB had more than its share of complications—Mr. Taft has advised-the people to stand steadfast­ ly by the administration. In the pres­ ent crisis he has refused to say any­ thing that might embarrass the presi­ dent, but has, on the contrary, told the people that he was In every way worthy . of their support and confi­ dence. In nothing has Mr. Taft done so much to deserve the respect and af­ fection of the country as in the pol­ icy that he has uniformly observed in his retirement. He has shown him­ self to be—what every one knew that he was—a true patriot—Indian- «polls News. Mutt Be Protectionist*. The case of Germany is cit6d as an example of a nation which puts its tariff-making business In the hands of experts. These experts, however, are, frankly protectionists. If the United States ever establishes a per­ manent tariff commission, it will have to be composed of protectionists. The American people believe thoroughly In protection, as has been shown whenever the issue was presented squarely. They will never stand for a hybrid "nonpartisan” commission, flapping about like a boat without a rudder. Waking Up. Back in the halcyon days of the "sacred ratio” the Atlanta Constitu­ tion claimed the distinction of being the only newspaper of national con­ sequence that whole-heartedly sup­ ported William Jennings Bryan for the presidency. Now the Constitution :makes bold to pronounce its peerless !leader a public nuisance and an­ nounces It will publish none of his !“statements.” Country Will Demand the Best. When the Republicans hold their ,convention, they must put their ablest statesman forward If they want to win the confidence of the nation. The people of the country have a right to demand the, nomination of the ablest man. This demand will be made of the Democrats also. The voters are entitled to a choico between two able statesmen; and In choosing they !doubtless will select the one who gives ;the *e?t assurance of protecting the honor as well as the prosperity of th« nation. • I A Llabiiity, Sure.

Fair bride of Juue, white brid* of June, as lovely as a aumiwi moon, the sweetest pebble on tb< beach, a joy a viaiou and a peach.! A. truth it is—I know not why —that brides of August and Juiyr of gusty March and placid May, must yield to you the right of way. AU brides are daisies, when one tries their divers charms to analyze; they all are nature’s noblehtgrowth; when I see two I want them both; but still there something out oi tune, when brides loom up outside of June. The month’s ordained and set aside and dedicated to the bride. In June the Tear is blithe and fair, and has no silver in its hair, the skies are bright, the roses bloom, the winds are eolt, there is no gloom, and here’s the newly wedded belle, who fits into the picture well! Ab, would it might be always June, when birdletssing and zephyrs croon; but zephyrs fail and tempest shrieks, and roses fade, and so do cheeks; the fleeting summer day departs, and Father Time will test all hearts. And when your bloom is gone away, may you be just as bright and gay as you are at your bridal noon, oh, biide of June, fair bride oi June! A Congh Remedy That Relieve*.

When that time comes to you, you know what tonic to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com­ posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs, and helps build them back to strength and health. It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak, ailing women in its past half century of wonderful success, and it will do the same for you. You can’t make a mistake in taking The Woman’s Tonic Miss Amelia Wilson, R. F. D. No. 4, Alma, Ark., says: “I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth, for women. Before I began to take Cardui, I was so weak and nervous, and had such awfui dizzy spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything.” Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers. Has Helped Tkousands9 ! X X X T JiLi Cm NOTICE!

This was the principal issue, virtually the only is­ sue. on which the Democratic party sought return to power In 1912. It iva s a slogan that appealed to the crowds. The people of the country were enjoying better wages than ever before, hut they were paying high prices for food. Since there was no suggestion that the loss of protection would mean the loss of employment also, a large number of the people voted for what they thought would moan a lower cost of living. More than two years and a half have passed since the people voted for the removal of protection and the low­ ering of the coht of living. A major­ ity, it is true, voted for the candidates who favored a continuation of the protective policy, but because the ma­ jority divided their votes between two protectionist candidates the solid vote ot the minority, constituting a plu­ rality, carried the day. Two years ago the protective tariff was destroyed. Yet the trend of the cost, of living Ib still upward. Prices Jire higher now than, they were under the much-maligned Payne-Aldrtch law. For 15 articles wbScb are served on the table of the workingmen of the Ttiited States the average price for the year 1914 was 2 per cent higher th.in in 1913.- And the average price was 5t£ per cent higher than in 1912. The figures whldb show the steady increase, despite the fact that 6.1 per cent of ail imports are now coming In free, are not the result of any com. pilation from Republican sources, but are the official result of an Investi­ gation made by tbe department of la­ bor under the present administration. Slow to American Shipping. Simultaneously with the vanishing of (he American flag from the great Pacific trade route to the Orient will come the appearance of the Japanese flag over twin-screw liners on tbe At­ lantic coast of tbe United StateB. This Is the spectacle= that will greet con­ gress when it reassembles. A New York defender of the administration nervously remarks that “American shipping will have to come In for some attention In Washington next winter." It will, Indeed, and this is an unes- capable issue for the Democratic-Pro­ gressive combination which made the La Foilctte bill a law.

Results of "Free Sugar.” At the end of 1913 sugar was low, under ths influence of bumper crops here and In Cuba. When the tariff reduction went into effect on March I* i!*H, refiners' net cash price was 3.92. This declined to 3,676 on Ajprll 1*1, but then began to rise, and; on May 28 was back to 4,116, under the influence ot bankruptcy of Louisiana and Porto Rlco plantations and mills, shutdown of beet factories and 136,000 acres reduction in beet planting as a result of the tariff reductions.

Thinks Bat A Miaority ladorse President. Editor of The Daily News: Yonr correspondent from Beids rille, *‘A. E. W .” seems to infer that because a few of his neighbors are supporting Mr. Wilson in hi* war policies tbat snch condition is uuiversal. He .fails to assign any other reason for the conclusions be drew when he closes his communi­ cation bv saying that Mr. Wilson stands lor America and we stand tor him. This gentleman if called upon would no donbt cite tbe Baleigh News and Observer or some lesser light to prove bis as­ sertion. This writer is not capable if he were incliied to criticise our Presi dent. Very few people in the United States doubt Mr. Wilson’s desire to do the very beBt so long as Buch a course is consistent with personal and party interests. No one doubts that our President stands for America, although the course be pursued in the Panama canal toll matter might give grounds for suspicion that he was under the influence of English ship owners. Then, also, we recall the fact that tireat Britain took the initiative in interfering with onr shipping, and as yet, very little protest has been made. But, con cediog that our President is earn estly endeavoring to safeguard tbe inteicsts of the people of the U oited States, this writer is not ready to concede that the majority of the people of the Unitep Btates is indorsing the President in the attitude he has assumed in his tariff, currency and war measnres. Mr! Wilson became President as a choice of the minority, and we doubt if he has gained any" sup­ porters since he was elected. If the gentleman from Beidsville will examine the pages of such pa­ pers as the New York World, tbe New York Tribune, the Washing­ ton Pott, the Chicago Tribuue, tbe Toledo Blade, tbe Outlook, the Beview of Reviews, aud the Liter­ ary Digest he will discover that wbQe tbe people aud the press of the UnitedStates are supporting auy action our President may take against a foreign power, they aie not indorsiug his policies. No doubt, Mr. Wilson hopes for Un opportunity to atone for tbe mistakes oi the past, but if be comes before the voters again, he will have difliulty in explaining why he has not reduced the high cost of living as he promised tbe people he would, why business be­ came depressed as soon as the tariff was removed, why be repudiated his platform declaration in regard to the Panama caual tolls, why be landed an army in Mexico and made demands that were never granted, why he waited until the clamor of the people forced him to protest against the outrages being committed against our ships and our citizens, and why he has made no deuluuds on Great Britain for doing acts similar to those com iiiitted by Germany.

Y Obtainable everywhere. A Lady’s Sad Sfery- Her husband and two small ehil dren murdered by revolutionists in Mexico City, Mrs. Anne Poupard, sister in-law of George Carothers, President Wilson’s personal repre sentative to Mexico, arrived in Albany, N. Y., June 26th en route to New York where she has a sis­ ter, Mrs, Joseph Browne, of Biver- dale avenue. Mrs. Poupard, who is a pretty woman of 28, was penniless when she arrvied here, and only through the aid ot Dr, B. N. Bullock, a local physician, was she enabled to make the trip to New York. “It is the common practice to murder tbe children ot wealthy and influential parents in Mexico,’’ said M n. Poupard. “ First they took away my eldest little boy a n d murdered him. Then they took my other child and murdered him. My husband then suggested we pack up and leave. But two days before we were ready to go the soldiers came and took him and shot him. My lot has been no worse than others in un fortunate Mexico. It seems that the leaders of the revolution want to terrorize tbe country. * The people in Mexico City are now starving. They are eating horse flesh. Daring the last six months it has been a common sight to see little children and grown-ups drop in the stteet from hanger aud die there.” She said that the present condi­ tions would continue until the United States intervened.

The Baieigb News and Obeerver recently made th e remarkable statement that tbe : high cost of living “ is caused by the war in Europe and by abnormal condi tions caused by it.” Yet in 1912, two years before the war started, the Democracy claimed that tbe high cost of living was due to the robber tariff.” When tbe Be publicans were in power they were to blame for the “High cost of living,” now that the Democrats are in the “ War” is to blame. That is to say the Democracy is never to blame for anything ob­ jectionable, no matter when or how it happens. .Anyway it does not make so much difference what caused tbe high cost ot living, the thing of importance is, what will reduce itf Tbe Democrats said if tbe people would put them in they would do tbe trick. They are in and they have not done it. That is the way tbe mailer stands.— Goncord Chronicle. MeduriHe Needs Oae*, Too. Burlington needs a pay np day.

An automobile with a crazy man at the wheel can do nearly as much damage as a German gun. A man who will take a paper for t Arelve months and then refuse to pay for it should be hung. Several such scoundrels are to be found in Davie county, and their names are known to many of our business men. We cannot see why the United States should show partiality to any of the warring nations. England tried twice to wipe us off the map. but failed in both attempts. Are we trying to heap coals of fire upon her head?' Officers could get rich these days arresting automobile drivers who go through the country with tags 1 end­ ing, “License Applied For,” on the rear of their cars. The law says that 1916 numbers shall be on all cars after July 1st. This country, or rather the people, have gone automobile mad. - Poor people are affected same as the rich, and many people are buying and have bought cars that are not able to pay for them. Some have quit their places of business and gone to joyriding. Some of these days something will drop. The Record is still hoping that the United States will not get mixed up in the European war. We have troubles enough over here without any war. If any American is fool e rough to cross the ocean on a foreign ship and gets blown to king­ dom come his death should not be I iid at the door of Uncle Sam Let our folks stay at home. Davie county is in need of son:e moonlight or daylight schools. Won­ der if our people knew that over It) per cent, of the white voters in Davie county can neither read nor write Anutrber of counties throughout the State have organized moonlight, or night schools, where the older people who have no education c»n be taught to read and write. These schools are taught by volunteer teachers and cost nothing. Davii- should have a half dozen such schools. Wage Increase for 10,500 Auto Employes.

London, July 12.—By a savage at­ tack in the west the Germans have wrested from the French the Souchez cemetery, seven miles north of Ar­ ras. The battle was one of the severest of the war. The cemetery was taken after a gas attack, fol­ lowed by hand-to-hand fighting with bomb and bayonet. The French admit the loss and are fighting to regain the ground, which they had won at a heavy cost. Slowly the French had been tight­ ening their grip on the village of Souchez, until the Germans, aware that the capture of the entire posi­ tion would be an important step in the French offensive toward Lens and Lille, launched a terrific counter stroke, which left them master of the shattered burial ground, with more than 150 prisoners in their hands. Fighting among the houses which fringe the western edge of the town still rages 1. Tbere'al^o has been a renewal of ,activity infother areas of France and Belgium, but nothing comparable with the strategic importance of the Souchez struggle. TbeGermans claim the destruc­ tion of thelBritish position' on - Hill 60, near Y^res, but this fiods no confirmation from either French or British sources. Fraok Has Fighting Chance., Milledgevllle, Ga., July 18 —Leo M. Frank lay in the State prison hos­ pital here tonight with what atten­ dants said was a fighting chance for recovery. Physicians had succeeded in stopping the flow of blood from a jagged wound in his throat made with an improvised knife . in the hands of William Creen, a fellow convict, also serving a life term for murder. The blow was struck while Frank slept in his bunk in the dor­ mitory late last night. This latest and most spectacular phase of the two year fight for Frank’s life may be the subject of an investigation by th e Georgia Prison Commission, which refused to recommend that Frank’s death sentence for the mbr- der of Mary Phagan he commuted to life imprisonment. Reports from Atlanta were that Governor Harris intimated today he would start such an investigation to ascertain if Creen acted entirely of his own volition. Creen said today, when taken from solitary confinement long enough to begquestioned, that he planned, and executed the attack alone. He was not communicative today and gave as his only excuse that “he thought it should be done.” He said, how­ ever, that he regretted his act. Assodated Charities. Anumberofladiesmetwith Mrs. E. P.

London, July 15.—Out of the many manifestations of unrest in the Brit­ ish labor field, there developed today what may prove, unless an earlv so­ lution is found, one of the most seri­ ous strikes in the history of the coun­ try. More than one hundred and fifty thousand men laid down their tools, shutting down virtually all the mines in the Welch coal fields, which sup ply coal for the British army. TheBritish government, using for the first ,time the authority granted by the Munitions Act, rules that the miners must not strike. A royal proclamation to'that effect was is­ sued vesterday. The miners’ answer was to go on strike. Tho subject to a heayy daily fine for striking and tho urged by their leaders to allow their demands for higher pay to be arbitrated, the miners threw aside all advice. Their action not only stopped the mines but left idle the mine railways and some ships engaged in coal transport. Theoretically, the government is empowered to check the strike forth­ with, but it is a puzzling problem how the authority is to be enforced. SheHIeldNeWt.

J o h n s o n On Two-Cent Passenger Rates The farmers of this nation are vitally interested. In railroad rates and equity be­ tween passenger and freight rates is especially Im­ portant to the man who follows the plow for the farmer travels very little but he Is a heavy con­ tributor to the freight revenues. Some of the states have a two cent passenger rate and whatever loss Is Incurred is recov­ ered through freight revenue. The jus­ tice of such a procedure was recently passed upon by the Supreme Court of West Virginia and the decision is so far-reaching that we have asked L. E. Johnson, president of the Nor­ folk and Western Railway whose road contested the case to briefly review the suit. Mr. Johnson said In part: “Some ten years ago, passenger fares were fixed by the legislatures of a large number of Btates at two cents a mile. As a basis for such economic legislation, no examination was made of the cost of doing the business so regulated, nor was any attention given to the fact whether such a rate would yield to the. rail­ way companies an adequate or any net return upon the capital Invested In conducting this class of business. “Such a -law was passed In. Wesfc. Virginia In 1807. The' Norfolk and Western Railway Company put the rate Intji effect and’maintained It. for two yearbi V Its accounting "during these two* years showed that two cents a mile per passenger barely paid the out-of-pocket, cost and noth­ ing was left to pay any return on capita) InvxHted.. It songht relief from ih® cpurts.-£ Expeit accountant* for both the State and the Railway Com­ pany testified that the claims of the railroad were sustained by the facts. Two cents did not pay the cost of carrying a passenger a mile. The State, however, contended that the railroad was earning enough surplus on Its state freight business to give a fair return upon the capital used In Its passenger as well as Its freight business. For the purposes of the case, the railroad did not deny this, but held to Its contention that the State could not segregate Its pas­ senger business for rate fixing with­ out allowing a rate that would be sufficient to pay the cost-Of doing business and enough to give some return upon the capital invested In doing the business regulated. This was the issue presented to the Su­ preme Court Its decision responds to the judgment of the fair-minded sentiment of the country. The Su­ preme Court says that, even though a railroad earns a surplus on a par­ ticular commodity by charging rea­ sonable rates, that affords no reason: for compelling.it to haul another's person or property for less than cost The surplus from a reasonable rate properly belongs *0 the railway com­ pany, If the surplus is earned from an unreasonable rate then that rate should be reduced. The State-may not even up by requiring the. railroad to carry other traffic for nothing or for less than cost The. decision Is a wholesome one ing, enjoy a free, easy bowel movement, and feel fine all day.

Voters Interested in Pronounce­ ments of Great Parties. Democrats Next Year Will Be Called ppon to Explain the Failure of Their Policies—Republicans to Outline View*. Tho platforms of the two dominant parties in recent years have been ratlier cut-and-dried affairs. Neither the convention delegates nor the pub­ lic generally studied them very close­ ly. There was interest in 1812 In how far the Democratic party would go on the tariff, and interest later devel­ oped In the declaration for a single presidential term. But the attitude of the parties was pretty well deter­ mined before the conventions met. It will be different next year when the conventions assemble. There will be acute interest in what the Republi­ can and Democratic parties have to say about military preparations. There will be interest in what they have to say about treaties and arbi­ tration policies' as a substitute for for- liflcations. Also the public will be anxious to know what the Democratic party has to sa.v about the failure to reduce the cost of living and about the taritt-for- revenue-only that failed to raise rev­ enue. There will be a desire to scru­ tinize any plank that may be adopted defending the repeal of the Panama canal act and to learn how the single presidential Term policy of the Demo­ cratic party is coming along. The Republican platform will be in­ teresting chiefly for anything it may say about the proposals for the restor­ ation of the protective tariff, military defense and the cessation of attacks on business.* What attitude will be inken tov.ard the federal trade com­ mission iand other bodies created by the Democratic party? The general policy thait will be pursued by the Re­ publican party, on its being restored to powen, doubtless will be set forth and will be scanned eagerly by the voters. .. Perscjisflities next year, as In years by, will dominate the campaign, but rriwciples will figure more largely than in any campaign since the Civil war.

To study the - needs, re­ sources and community progress of the State by sections. 2nd. Tosecure such publicitv as will promote the development of Korth Carolina by bringing people of thrift and industry to us, especi­ ally to our agricultural lands. 3rd. To acquaint people in one section of the State with advantages and progress in other sections. 4th. Toaid in offering homes at fair and reasonable prices and and protect prospective settlers from unjust speculators and false representations. 5th. To assist each section in securing the class of settlers suit able to that locelity. eth. Tocooperate with local community organization and civic organizations, railroads and other organization, corporation or in­ dividuals interested in promoting the purpose set forth. The 70 men who formulated this broad object represented 23 coun ties of State and every congression­ al district save one. The one congressional district not represent ed is known to have many strong men within its borders who heartily approve this movement, and were doubtless prevented from being present by the press of other en-. gagemente, or by illness. Many ol tbe !State’s best known progres­ sive men, in fact, were unable to be present because of such reasons, but wrote letters explaining their inability to attend and pledging their earnest support. Strong men were in attendance from Asheville iu.the west, to VVilmingtou in tbe east. The four IeadiDg railroads were represented; and it is believed that with such co operative efiort as indicated in the beginning, this organization will accomplish some­ thing worth while in placing Korth Carolina where she belongs—on a plane with.her resources. Thp earnestness with, which the problem of the State's future was debated at the Baleigh gathering, the stability and broad business experience of i-he men participat­ ing in these discussions, and the character of the men selected to guide tbe destinies of the organiza­ tion through the dangerous shoals' to a permanent organization, ail combiue to assure the respect and co-operation of every citizen who has the welfare of his State at heart tor the work now in band; and there is existent’ a feeling that every public Bpirited citizen, as many of them have already done, will rally to the support of these men, who are attempting a great altruistic work for Korth Caroling that will prove/of at least indirect interest 1Xiifivery man, woman and cbild within her borders. This work it is conceded, will eventually mean a bigger, better and more prosperous Korth Carolina. There­ fore, it is argued, every citizen should feel it a personal privilege to lend his aid. They are asked Haaging of Mrs. SnmfL Washington Dispatch. Old Wa-hingtonians recalled Wednesdaj , 7<h, that was the an­ niversary of the execution of tbe four persons condmned to death for complicity in i he a«sassinatioD of Fresident Lincoln. Most con spicuous ot the fonr was M n. Mary E. S n rrat, who was generally re­ garded as J. Wilkes Booth’s most trusted lientenant in the assassina­ tion plot. Mineled with the country-wide cry lor vengeance that followed the assassination of the President, was a feeling of sympathy for Mrs Surratt and for her young daught er, to whom she was devoted. A few hours ■ efore the execution was timed to take place a last effort was made to save the woman fro in the gallows through habeas corpus proceedings. Ajndgeoftfae Dis­ trict of Columbia court issued a writ directing General Hancock, commander of the military depart­ ment embracing Washington, to produce the body of Mrs. Surratt in court. When General Hancock appeared in court he was accom­ panied by the Auornev General of the United States, who placed in the hands of the judge an executive order freshly signed by President Johnson, suspending th e writ. Thus ended the last effort to save the woman from the gallows. The quadruple execution took place in the yard of the old prison on the bank of tbe Potomas at 1:25 p. m. The three men who died on the scaffold with Mrs. Surratt were David £. Harold, the youth who accompanied Booth in his flight; George E. Atzerodt, the little Ger­ man to whom had been assigned the task of killing Andrew John­ son, but whose nerve had failed him when the time came to perform the deed, aud LewiB Powell, alias Payne, who had attempted to kill Secretary of State Heward at the moment when Booth fired the shots that killed Lincoln. These four were the only lives, besides that of Booth, taken to satisfy the public cry for vengeance on the assassin and his associates. Four men, Mr. Mndd, Arnold O’Laugblin and Spangler, were transported to the Dry TortugaB, tbe Jirst three nnder life sentence, the last for six years. 1 Hdpier Called to Taw. Statesville Landmark, 20th. Jacob Helpler of Union Grove township was given a hearing be­ fore United States Commissioner Lazenby at the court house Satur­ day on a charge of illicit distilling. He gave 9300 bond for his appear­ ance at the next term of Federal court at Statesville. Helpler also gave $200 bond for his appearance at SuperiorCourt to answer charges of illict distilling. He was nnder bond for his appearance at tbe last term of Superior Court, but failed to appear. not to wait for personal invitation, bnt to encourage the men who have been selected as officers of the tem­ porary organization b y writing them and offering such suggestions as may seem good, and offering as­ sistance in tbe undertaking. The plan of organization, in brief, is an executive committee consisting of the president, six vice president, treasnrer and secretary, elected by the board of directors. The board of directors is to consist of not to exceeding three members from each congressional district, these to be selected by the mem- ber&in snch district from among their own number. By this means the organization will be truly re­ presentative of the entire State and be, iu fact, afState wide organiza­ tion.

ABheboro, July 9.—An agree ment was reached at 10:30 o’clock tonight between tbe Bepnblieans and the Democrats in the famonB Bsndolph county election contest CasecShereby tbe office of clerk of the conrt is to go to Frank M, Bice, the Bepublican who contended for the seat of John M. Caviuess. a Democrat, and the chairmanship of the board of county commissioners goes to Wiley L. Ward, Bepubli can over W. J. Searboro1 Demo crat. The Democrats retain tbe office of Bberiff, the only other con tested position. Each party by the terms of the agreement are to pay their witnes Bes and their part of the referee’s and stenographer’s expenses. There is to be no disturbance of the emoluments of the offices which are to change hands. The Demo crats wilt retain what fees have aceured to date and the incoming Bepnblicans will take the fees and salaries from now on to the end of the terms. It is understood that the offer of compromise came from the Demo­ crats it being understood that tbe Democratic clerk did not particul­ arly care for the salary and the Democratic encumbent of the chair. manBhip of the board did not care for the office. From the Bepubli- can side it is understood the com­ promise was acceptable because of the long delay in finally settling the litigation which would proba­ bly take the time beyond tbe length of office, for which they were con­ tending. It is also understood that the agreement idones not Btop any crim-' inal prosecutions that may be brought for alleged illegal voting. The Bepnblicans are jubilant and say that the matter does not end with the seating oi two of their officers, but they intend to prose­ cute some of those whom they charge with theft of their ballots. Irregularities havecertainly been shown, but whether they were the part of a prearranged plan as charged by the Republicans, or the work ot over zealous partisans na turally would not be decided in a civil suit. IN MOCKSVILLE Statements of Lexinston Citizens Are Always of Interest to Our Readers. To many of our readers the streets of Lexington are almost as familiar as those of our own town, and we are naturally in­ terested to read of happenings there. The following report from a well-known and respected resident will be helpful to num­ bers of men and women here in Mocks- vilie. Mrs. E E. Lopp, 715 S. Salisbury Sl, Lexington, N. C.. says: "I suffered sev­ erely for years from kidney trouble and rheumatic pains in the small of my back. I couldn't sleep well at night. My kidneys se in bad shape and the kidney secre­ tions were unnatural. I had headaches and dizzy spells, too. Doan's Kidney Pills greatly helped me. I continued taking mt until I felt better in every way.” (Statement given January Sth. 1908.) OVER SIX YEARS LATER. Mrs. Lopp said: "Whenever my kidneys cause me anv trouble, I take Doan's Kidney Pills and get good results.” Price 50c. at all dealers.

The farmers who have a big cotton crop will not be able to dispose of it if England doesn’t lift the embargo and let us ship to Germany. The Democrats are thinking of again placing a tariff on sugar. Sugar was placed on the free list and « has been getting higher ever since, besides this country losing millions of dollars each year in tariff duties. The Democrats are learning a few things at last. At least $50,000 is needed to finish the roads that have been commenced in Davie county. A man would be very unwise were he to spend several thousand dollars to build a good house and then quit before putting a top on it. The same thing will ap­ ply to the commissioners if they quit the road work now. TheCanadians have been doing some scrapping, which we learn by reading some Canadian daily papers which are being mailed us by friend Green. The Record is glad to know that the Canadians, our nearest foreigh' neighbors, are doing some hrave fighting. Up to this time the English army has done but little. BLACKBERRY NOTICE-To all whom this may concern, greetings: The editor of The Record don't want any blackberries at any price. Since our last issue of The Record, which contained a notice asking for black­ berries. we have been swamped with berries. Our money has run out and our credit is no good. Sugar and flour is also short. Begoverncd accordingly. THE ROAD IS COMPLETED. The Post Road through Mocksville is completed, and a finer stretch of road cannot be found in North Caro­ lina. Tbc road is about two miles in length and extends from Iim incor­ porate limits on the North to 11. C. Meroney’s residence on the West. The road is 85 feet wide except through the business part of town where it is 50 feet and has top-soil 21 inches deep in the center. Many of the shade trees in the town were re noved when the stecet was widen­ ed, and new sidewalks were also built through the town. The road forces from Mocksville, Jerusalem. Cala- haln and Fulton were engaged in the work, which look six weeks. Tho cost of the road is in the neighbor­ hood of $5,000. No finer road is* to be found in all this section, and it is a veritable speedway through the town. Auto parties should be very careful in passing through on our good roads, for it is almost impos­ sible to stay within the speed limit. Ofliciers will be on duty with stop watches at each end of the square, and all vehicles making over ten miles per hour will be allowed to go right along and no q uestions asked. With this link completed, 'the Post Road from Winston to Statesville is naw complete and can bp covered in two hours, rain or shine. Davie Wanto More Money. A petition reading as follows is Jaeingcirculated throughout Davie county, and many citizens are sign­ ing it: To the Honorable Board of Com­ missioners of Davie County, Greet ing: We, the undersigned citizens and tax payers of Davie county, re­ cognizing the importance of good roads as a great factor in the up­ building of our county, and knowing the incompleteness of our road sys­ tem at present, there being large portions of our county with no roads and a number of roads nbt com­ pleted, and believing it to be unfair and unjust to tax a section of the cpunty for roads and still not giye them good roads, we-therefore earn­ estly ask that you cither issue bonds or borrow money sufficient to give to every section of Davie county a complete'system of Good Roads. - T -------------~ ' ' Mrs. Beulah Tyson and Miss May Campbell, of Friendship, spent Sun­ day afternoon in town, the guests of Mrs. J.

Chicago, July 24—Eight hundred and forty two bodies had been re­ covered late tonight, according to the official count, from the 2,400 em­ ployes of the Western Electric Com­ pany, and their relatives and friends who started out aboard the excursion steamer Eastland this morning for a holiday across the Lake. Coroner Hoffman announced that he believed the total deaths would be not over a thousand. The other bodies are sup posed to be in the steamer or in the river. The coroner announced the order for the arrest of every official of the Indiana Transportation Company which leased the EaBtland. Three juries. Federal, State and coroners, were summoned to inquire why the vessel rolled over before she left the dock this morning, dumping her living load into the water and drown­ ing hundreds within 25 feet water and almost within reach of thous­ ands of friends waiting to take other boats on the same excursion. The faulty construction of the ship, poor management, and the rush of Hie crowd to one side of the deck to watch the moving picture machine were among ,the various causes given. There is nothing to indicate that the boat was overloaded, but as it began to tilt the men. wonton, children, deck chairs afid other provable ob­ jects slid in an indescribable, mass into the water, while the people were crushed under each cither in . the water and had no chance even * to swim. Scores of others were caugh below and doyvned like rats. - Ef­ forts begun today to aid the surviv- or? were taken up tonight by the Red Cross of the city, and other authorities. A mob tonight stormed the armory morgue and had to be beaten back with policemen’s clubs. The survivors of the employes of the' Western Electric Company get in­ surance from the company. America’s Note to Germany Won’t Be An Ultimatum. Washington, July 20.—The United States note to Germany, which Presi­ dent Wilson and the cabinet ap­ proved today, will not be in the na­ ture of an ultimatum, but probably will have an air of -finality placing squarely before Germany the re­ sponsibility for any actions that might endanger the friendy re'a- tions, the cabinet officers disclosed tonight. Secretary Lansing announced rhat the report on the Orduna attack is expected soon, but the present note to Germany won’t be delayed wait­ ing for it. Washington, July 20.—Any British prize court decision that would con­ fiscate without payment the cotton of American ownership destined to a neutral country or even to private consignees in Germany. Austria and Turkey would be contested by the United States, it was learned here tonight, following London dispatches saying that the British board of trade ruled today that when cotton is shipped to an enemy of Great Britain it won’t be purchased by Great Britain under the terms of the agreement. TheAmerican Stete Department holds that since cotton was not de­ clared contraband it is not subject to confiscation. Senator Bankhead of Alabama and Representative Tribble of Georgia today urged President Wilson to take further steps to prevent British to take further steps to prevent Brit­ ish interference with cotton ship­ ments of the United States to Eu­ rope. Wilson replied that he was doing all possible to better the situa­ tion. George Tucker, of near Advance, was in our midst last week and re­ membered us with a life preserver. AGEEAT I CENT SALE.

America’s Note To Germany. Washington, July 23.—The Ameri­ can note on submarine warfare, which was presented at Berlin today and made public here tonight, re­ veals that Germanyhas been inform­ ed that it is the intention of the United States to regard as “deliber­ ately unfriendly” any repetition by German naval commanders of acts in contravention of American rights. The United States announces that it will continue to contend for the freedom of the seas, from whatever quarter violated, without compro­ mise and at any cost. In diplomatic and official quarters it is regarded as the strongest and most emphatic pronouncement by the United States since the beginning of the corres­ pondence with the European belli­ gerents, President Wilson returned to Cornish tonight. On the assumption that Germany has already admitted the illegality of her practices bv attempting to justify them as retaliatory moves against Great Britain, the United States expresses the belief that Ger­ many will “no longer refrain from disavowing the wanton act of its na val commander in sinking the Lusi­ tania from offering reparation for the’American lives lost, so far as re­ paration can be made for the need­ less destruction of human life by an illegal act,” Mr. and Mrs. R. S. McGlrmroch, of Greensboro, visited relatives near toyn Sunday. URGENT TAX NOTICE. Gentlemen, you who have not paid your town taxes for 1914, please see the collector and settle with him.

It is only those who know that can give us information and the farmers of America should listen attentively to what the men who manage rail­ road property have to say. Mr. Kruttschnitt, exec­ utive head of the Southern Pacific, has written an article dealing with the financing of railroads. Ho Baid In part: ‘‘The financing of a railroad Is a function which the people, through their servants, the Railroad Commis­ sioners and the - Legislators, have never attempted, but ltrts a most im­ portant problem, especially to sec­ tions of a State where new railroads are needed. The placing of securities has been left entirely with .the. pro­ moter and owner 6t railroads’. nThe immediate determination of what earialngB the railroad shall be permittee to .receive and what bur­ dens it shall >bhve put on it is In the hands at other servants of the pubUe —the Legislators and the Commis­ sioners. “Managing a railroad is quite differ­ ent from managing a government where the money Is raised by taxa­ tion. When the expenditures, for good reasons or otherwise, increase, taxes can be equally increased. The railroads, while servants of the pub­ lic, cannot raise money with such ease and facility. The railroads must keep their expenditures within’ their incomes because while they have some control over their expenditures they have dlmost no control over their incomes, their rates being fixed by public authorities. “There is not a railway manager in the country today who'is not fearful that under the press of increasing de­ mands the transportation systems of the country will, In a few years, break down, unless the railroads are allowed to earn larger funds wherewith to build it up. There are vast sections of the country, especially In the WeBt, Sometiuea there isn’t a whole lot of difference between a good fellow and a 1-ad husband. OfiAFNESS CANNOl BE CURED by local application!!, as they can uotreach the diseased portion ol the ear. There is ouly one way to cure deafness, and that is by con­ stitutional remedies.

We are informed that the direct­ ors of the Sratesville Air-Line Rail­ road have succeeded in floating a loan of $1,260,000, giving a mort­ gage an the road for this amount -—The mortgage has been recorded in the office of the Register ot Deeds at Dobson. It will also be recorded in Iredell and Tadkin counties as the road will pass through all three of these counties. This, it would seem, practically assures the building of the rail road and it should mean its early completion. We understand that $200,000 ot this million and a quarter dollars will be available ist as soon as the track is laid and rolling stock is put on the first twenty miles of the road. About twenty miles of the road is already graded—from Statesville to a point north of Harmony near the Yadkiu line. It is expected that the work of laying tract on this section of the road will be begun at an early date. Alter this first twenty miles is put in operation $20,000 will be avail able for every additional mile of road completed. If there are no bitches the road should be in oper­ ation to a point near the Iredell and Yadkin line within the next s<x months. Points along the road, Yadkinyiile, Booneville and Dob- eori are greatly elated over the bright prospect of being connected by railroad with the outside world within the not very remote future.

C —“I suffered for three summers,” writes Mrs. Walter Vincent, of this town, “and the third and last time, was my worst. I had dreadful nervous headaches and prostration, and was scarcely able to walk about. Could not do any of my housework. I also had dreadful pains In my back and sides and when one of those weak, sinking spells would come on me, I would have to give up and lie down, until it wore off. I was certainly in a dreadful state of health, when I finally decided to try Cardui. the woman’s tonic, and I firmly believe I would have died ii I hadu’i taken it. After I began taking Cardui, I was greatly helped, and all three bottles re. Iieved me entirely. I fattened up, and grew so much stronger in three months, I felt like an­ other person altogether.” Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle- acting. Its ingredients have a mild, tonic effect, on the womanly constitution. Cardui makes for increased strength, improves the appetite, tones up the ner­ vous system, and helps to make pale, sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy. Cardui has helped more than a million weak v'omen, during the past 50 years. It will surety do for you, what it has done for them. Try Cardui today.
