WEDNESDAY. APRIL 5. 1916 SOME CO-INCIDENTSi a One-Time Citiien of Davie County Writes of Old Time* Not Forgotten. Straui;e eo incidents.do happen. ,T0 0!ie enu explain tfiedi. -Itsome liuies steins that UnieJs linked to gether wi Hf them- Willgive jaat a few that we have seen and beard. Tliey may interest some one. Jn Davie, joining father’s farm, lived an old eccentric bachelor by Ihe name of Hehry McCnlloh. His it) acre tar in consistedof old piaey fields, red gullies, a graveyard, rabbits, "'possums, etc. He lived jo one log cabin and an old colored woman iu another. She did his cooking, tended the patches and raised chickens, turkeys andI geese. He split rails and worked around by the day for the neighbors. For years they lived that way, until “Ani.t Kate” died. Then he went over in Davidson to live with his nephew. He got his fire wood from father, who told him he could have the dead trees as they died, provided he would split the rail cuts into rails and leave them Ior him. It was soon found that the trees that died had heavy tops, but no rail cats. While he did not care, yet father believed the trees bad been killed. Aod sure enough. And bow do you reckouf Some one in “dog days” bad cut green pine sticks and Btocd them np against these trees, and in the second year stranger to us and we to him. Af ter getting out of town and seeing a field of wheat, he said Catawba was a better wheat county than bis native county of Davie was. We told him Davie was our native connty, too. We made ouiselves known to each other, and the strange co incident was, we both bad known each other. He was the Hev. Bi)! Butler who for years had Jived in Kentucky. He said he waB going home on a visit to see the old homestead and to .visit friends about Jericho and perhaps preach some for them a- gain. Said he was going to get off at Statesville and drive through the country to see the chai.ges tbat had taken place. While in States ville, he said he wanted to see his dear brother, Judge Armfield, and asked us if the Judge was still liv ing. We told him yes,' and that he was going to address the old soldiers at Catawba that day. It was a strange co incident that the first person he enquired about was the very man we were then going to hear speak. He then began to talk about re ligion and the bible, as all preach ers do, or should do. Our conver sation attracted the attention of a lady who was sitting in a seat just across the aisle from os. She open ed her grip and took from it two copies of a religious paper and brought them over to ns, saying as we seemed interested on the Bub NUMBER 18 every such tree died. Worms went jectol religion, perhaps we would from the pine sticks into the trees enjoy reading a cepy of this good and killed them. It will certainly ‘ kill an oak tree every time. “Tucle Henry,” as we called him, said he oftgfi ..^jkedii face with the devil?" Said they were good friends, but that the devil did not always do as be aBk ed him. By the aid of the devil, be said he could do witchcraft, cause people to have bad luck, etc. One Simday he was at John Wilson’s. There were some young ladies there. In some way Miss Kate Deadmon insulted him. He made u cross-mark, spit in it and theu stamped it with both feet and told her she would have bad luck before she got home. And sure enough a snake bit her before site got out of sight of the hopBe. MiItCodyhad a gentle horse. Masneverknownto scare, much paper. Rev. Butler smiled and said of course he would enjoy reading it. Said he started that was a Kentocky paper in the in terest of the Christian or Camp- bellile cbnrch. The strange co incident was, the paper she wanted him to read, was the paper he started and once edited. When be told her who lie was, she said, “ Bro. Butler, I am so glad to see you. I baue not seen you since you held a meeting in Asheville some years ago.” Then he asked her name. She says, “ Don’t you know?” And he said no. She said, “You were mv guest during that meeting.?’ Then be knew, and how happy they were. The strange co incidents are, they had rode near each other from Ashe* Icsa run away. Whiledriving this ’ ville as total strangers. Theywere horse to a wagon one day, he met Vuele Heniy and began to joke him about an old lady in the neighborhood. This made Uncle Meuiy mad. Milt said after be drove on he saw “Old Henry” make a cross mark and jump on it with both feet and then shake bis list at him. He said as soon as be got out of sight, his horse got scar wi, ran away and tore up the wagon. But as Uncle Henry prophesied so many things that did uot come 10 pass, very few people believed his claim to cause trouble and accidents. Aud most people Iiktd ’ Mini, and helped him all they cOuId. He told mother often that wheu they put “Old Heu’s” body In the ground, this old earth would shake from center tocitcumference. She laughed at the idea. Boon alier the Charleston earth quake in 1886, mother wrote us !hat Uncle Henry was dead=—died drinking water out of the spring. At least, they found him with his lace down iu the water. 8aid ttey Vtoiight him to the home grave- Jard for burial, and it was after atiudoWn when they got him bur- ,e<V Aud that very uigbt when 'he eaith began to shake, she thought of what he bad told her abouV-OId Hen’s body iu the eCopJS?” Now, Biabodycaused the shq|e. Yet 1 ^as a strange co iudjdeht. Oue not only of the same failb but bad worked together in a meeting and had been each other's hostess and gue6t. We have often thought of this cluster of co incidents on this one trip. The next subject we shall write on for you, will be the “Old Field School.” J. F. C. -Spring.

Mrs. Wiggs of the CAtIhage Patch puts it this way, “Don’t you go ahd git sorry for yourself. That’s one thing I can’t stand in nobody.” And none of the rest of ns can stand it either. The,man who is sorry for himseif is a bore and the woman who is sorry for herself is intolerable. Fif teen: mioutes by: the clock with one of these “ I’m sorry for myseli” folks seem like an age. The mau with a gi ievaoce or with two or three grievances, ’ the fellow who INitNDp a whine that he has been imposed upon and that they right now Jiave his back to the ground and sue sitting on him, is never asked to stay longer—not genuine ly^asked toprolong bis visit. “ Walk h«nibly with thy god.” That is as Iar p the Scriptures go in demand ing humility and ! the one who goes Uound playing the humble to any being less than Ctod usually gets it wbereKatie wears her beads. Why, if ydu cringe before a horse, let him |know that you are afraid of him,j you Canbever be his master. Let a dog that growls at you k now Sbat you are afraid of him and the IHianbes are that he will tear your flesh. Yes, the brute has got sense enough to size up the one who comm timidly and is afraid and the brute haa got sense enough to Bpot thefpan whois “sorry for himself.” TlUkjgreat big world is quicker than in siaiqg?up the the great big world has enough of the dog in it to ever show its teeth to the man who cringes before it and is afraid. The man who is always going around hunting for sympa thy, who Ib sorry for himself and wants others to join him in being sorry, needs three swift kicks more Mian he needs sympathy and he usually gets what be needs. Ko, the world baB no patience with the man who is sorry for himself, but it always does warm np to the mau who when beaten and bruised with the battling gets'np, wipes off the blood and sweat and with no whine on his lips, but Uands with set jaw, clinched fists ana calmly announces that he js going to win in spite of bell and proceeds to carry out his purpose. It doesn’t pay to be sorry for yourself. j Sife Medkne For CbiMrea. "Isitsafefistliefintquestion to be cmsidered when baying cough medicine for children.

Dr. Chas. D. Bulla, of Nashville, Tenn., superintendent of the Wes ley Adult class movement of the M. E. Church, South, wili be one of the principal figures of the con vention. Dr. Bulla’s efforts in the interest of Adult daaa work is well known throughout southern Mcth odisui. For a number of years he has been conspicuously concerned with the Sunday school work of the Methodist church in the south and the North Carolina Baraca and PhiIatbea organizations are indeed valuable services. A number of other speaker?, some of them of nation wide repu tation, have been secured. All Baraca aud Pnilathea classes are entitled to send as many dele* gates as they wish, and pastors, superintendents and all others in terested in more efficient Sunday schools are extended a most cordial invitation to attend.

The indications are that the com ing political caiB|aitn in North Carolina will deal more largely in personalities than in principles.'A calm ami sober discussion by the candidates of the issues of the day, which are extremely interesting ai d important', would be helplul to the public, lint a bitter aid petsunal debate iu which mud rather itau reason is paramount, is bound to be injurious. Hard words Ilung at the head of caudidatrt always hint. They accomplish no worthy pur pose whatever: Abuse never yet won a victor; j on the other baud, it slreugtheus prejudice and ob scares the real issues of the day. Furthermore, it lowers the tone of political discussion and turns neigh bor against neighbor and friend against friend. The populist earn paign of some years ago was ex ceedingly hurtful to the State. The wounds of that bitter campaign are not yc-t healed. It entered the realm of business and even churches suffered by it. We all iecall the evils that followed in the train of those.dark days? Oor daily news papers have a large responsibility in this matter. A blind and bi- goated sheet that will not take ad vantage of a foe, is an unmeasured blessing in a time like this. Frin- ciplea rather than men ought to be discussed. Nobody cares what John Joues thinks of Bill Smith, but everybods is interested or should be interested in the policies that govern the two great parties. And the candidates ought to rise above petty pereonalities and telL thsp rapls Wbut w "About the great questions that are of vital interest to the public. These can didates ought to appeal to reason rather than to prejudice. This would invest the campaign with dignity and importance.

Mr. Editor:—I beg space in Veur col- ' umns to speak to the Republicans of - Da* - -vie county, M tbe'titne to selecf a ticket to go before the people again is near at hand. There is no denying the fact that our political boat is very near the reefs a'nd a wreck eminent unless the best tal- ent of our party, is brought forth; My humble advice is to take careful, stock .. and see where our weakness exists, then without fear.put the. pruning knife' fo work. There are many reforms absolute ly necessary for the well being of our citizens. One of the most important^ is the equalization of the taxes; make the rich pay in propoifion to the middle 'and pdor classes. - Neict -see that this’ road matter is adjusted properly so as to give all sections of the county equal benefits in the connections so as to make a prac- .. tical system of roads, then adopt, a plan . whereby the roads shall be : maintained.' . Next audit the. books from the bottom to (lie fop. It might be a saviog to the peo- pie tncalcuble. Forsyth, if I am informed . correctly, saved $13,500 the very first - - year they adopted (his plan. Some will ;•/ say that the state Democratic machine - Will hot audit, why should we do so. The - . answer is simply this: If I understand the • principles ’ of the Republican party it ' stands for plain dealing with the people .—stands for a square deal with ail. Take stock of (he county's business. No hon est man can object, and if there Is criiri- . nal or ignorant'begligence In our county matters the rank and file of the par:y stands for its elimination. The expense attached should not deter men from'do tag their whole duty.

Among the tnany features the show car ries is wbat is !claimed to be the largest land anLmai ofi^earth: It is an elephant said to be three inches higher than Jumbo and a half ton -heavier. Some idea of her immense size can be obtained when you consider that she is 11 feet. 7 inches tall and weighs over tons. In'other words" she weighs as much as 10 onfinarjr horses. Another extraordinary feature with the show is Capt Wesley's troupe of educated Seals and Sea Lions. These interesting sea animals perform the most seemingly impossible feats; - balancing chairs, ran Iwelias and whirling brands, of fire while climbing Iaddm,. walking tight ropes and riding the backs of galloping horses. This feature baffles'description and must be seen to be appreciated. Many other wonderful things are to be seen with this mammoth show, and the main performance beneath the big tents will present a number of the most marve- lius foreign acts of the century. The menagerie of wild animals carried with the show, is complete in every detail and contains rare and curious specimens of the earths ihost.interesting and curious animals, A mile long street. parade of dazzling 'splendor, beautiful women'and handsome horses, interspersed with three brass bands and a steam caliope will traverse the streets, shortly .before noon, and this fea ture alone will he worth going many miles to see.

I notice in your valuable paper suggestion from Mr.-Green in regard to road work, and wish to contribute a few lines for the consideration of the public and also the Commission era. I believe it would be a sad mis take on thjs part of our Honorable Comtnissionera to do anything that would cause the work that has been done to go to “naught”. I know our Commissioners have a very hard piace to fill, but as I see it, there never was a set of men that could be of more value to this county. They should do all in their power to stim ulate an interest in road work by co operating with the people. I believe every cleaMhinking citizen of the county realizes that the amount of money set aside for the upkeep of Uie roads is inadeguate. Then what is the best solution of the matter? believe it is .this. Let the county buy 10 dr f2 good muie^and hire one or two good experienced men to operate thje machinery, thereby keep ini good r^air the roads that have been built: I believe to do this would not keep a dozen mules and two men employed over half of their time. Then soy to the people if—you have any roads that you want rounded up we will cooperate with you, I be lieve that the Commissioners would have more . applications than they could weir fill, and in a short while we would have the best roads and the best system of roads to be found in any county in the' State for the amount of money expended. Asytu know, there are great sections of the county that have not been fortunate enough to have sand-day roads, so if fully one-half of the people of the county have passable roads at all it must be done by the Commissioners cooperating with the people Hon Commissioners, do this and make our.county what it has a right to be w Dost sod most Droflfrtessive county in the State of North Carcv Vstem ofroads.

Addrew •• Temporary Chairman of Now York Republieah Canvantioh Points Out Sina of Demooratie Com miaeion and: Omiwion—“We Have Loet Influehoe .Beeauw We-Have Been Brave In Worde and Irreeerfute In Aotion.": In bis address as temporary chair man of the New Tork state Republican convention, delivered in Carnegie Hall, New York, the Hon. ESUhu-Root said: We are entering upon a - contest for the election of a president' and the con trol of government under conditions essentially new In the experience of our party and of our country. The forms and methods which we are about to follow are old and familiar, but the grounds for action, the demand Of great events for decision upon na tional conduct, the moral forces urg ing to a solution of vaguely outlin ed questions, the tremendous con sequences of wisdom or folly In natlon- a f policy, all these are new to the great mass of American voters now living. Never since ISgl has an election been fraught with consequences so vital to national life. AU the ordinary consid erations which play so great a part in our presidential .campaigns are and ought to be dwarfed into insignificance. Democratic Party to the Bar. For the first time In twenty years we enter the. field-as the party of opposi tion, and indeed it is a much longer time, for in 1896, In' all respects save the tariff, the real opposition to the sturdy and patriotic course of Presi-. dent Cleveland was to be found In the party that followed Mr. Bryan. It is oUr duty as the opposition to bring the Democratic party to the bar of public judgment, to put it upon its defense so far as we see just and substantial grounds to criticise its conduct and to ask the joters of the country to decide whether that party, organized as it is, represented as it has been since it came into, power, has shown itself competent to govern the country as it should be governed and whether its spirit, its. policies, and its performance are the best that the American people can do In the way of popular self gov ernment. • % In the field of domestic affairs some factB'relevant to these questions had already been ascertained when In Au gust, 1914, the great European war began. During the year and a half of Democratic control of government In a period of profound peace there had been a steady decrease in American production, In exports and in revenues and a steady Increase in imports and expenditures. Enterprise had halted. The Democratic tariff had been framed upon an avowed repudiation of all pro tection, however moderate and reason able, and because all protection was repudiated practically all information' from competent witnesses as to the ef fect new provisions would have upon business was rejected.. It was with Just cause that the enterprise of the country halted, timid and irresolute, because it Telt and feared the hostility of government. Foreign Competition After War. The great w ar has not changed the lesson which we had already learned when It began. It has but obscured further demonstration. It has caused an enormous demand for some things Which the United States is able to pro duce In large quantities, and In. these lines of production, while other'ini^S^ tries still languish, there have been ex tensive employment .of labor, great ex ports and a great Influx of money.; But this-is temporary; It - m ust scion cease, aqd when the factories .have stopped and their laborers arc :no longer employed we must-deal with-a situation for which wise forethought should make provision. .More* impor tant still, the w ar has paralyzed the peaceful industries of all Europe and has stopped that competitive foreign production which in July, 1914, bad al ready entered American markets to supersede Am erican. products under the tariff law of 1913. The w ar has thus given to American .products an Immunity from competition far more effective than any possible protective tariff. But that is temporary, and when the w ar is over, when foreign production begins again, the American market compared with impoverished Europe will be more than ever before the' object of desire and effort, and we shall become the dumping ground of the world to the destruction of our own industries unless that is prevented by a wise and competent government- How Can Ne Defend Ouraalveat : But it. is not firom * domestic ques tions that the most difficult problems jif this day arise.'

Will | anybody Uve for them? W ould-any body die for them? Or are we all for ease and comfort and wealth a t any price? Confronted by such questions as these and the practical situations which give rise to them, is the coun try satisfied to trust itself again in the bands of the Democratic party? - Impotent Inteference In Mexico. The United. States bad rights and duties In Mexico. More than 40,000 of our citizens had sought their fortunes and made their homes there. A thou sand millions of American capital had been invested in that productive coun try. But revolution had come, and factional w arfare was rife. Americans bad been murdered, American proper: ty had been wantonly destroyed, the lives and property of all Americans In Mexico were In danger. T hat was the situation when Mr. Wilson became president In March, 1913. His duty- then was plain. It was, first, to use his powers as president to secure pro tection for the lives and property of Americans In Mexico and to require that rules of law and stipulations of treaties should be observed by Mexico toward the United States and its citi zens. His duty was, second, as the head of a foreign power to respect the independence of Mexico, to refrain from all interference with her internal affairs, from all attem pt at domina tion except as he-was justified by the law of nations for the protection of American rights. The president of the United States failed to observe either of those duties. He deliberately aban doned them both'and followed an en tirely different and.: inconsistent pur pose. . He intervened in Mexico to aid one faction In civil- strife against an other. He .-undertook to pnll down H uerta and set. Carranza Up in his place.' Arms and- munitions - of w ar were' freely 'furnished to the northern forces and withheld from Huerta. Einally the president sent our army -And navy to invade Mexico and cap ture its great seaport, Vera Cruz, and hold it and throttle Mexican commerce until H uerta fell. Amerieant Outraged In Mexico. The government' of the United States intervened in Mexico to control the in ternal affairs of that independent coun try and to enforce the will of the American president in those affairs by threat, by economic pressure and by force of arms. ' Upon w hat claim of right did this intervention proceed? Not to secure respect for American rights, not to protect the lives or prop erty of our citizens,- not to assert the law s of nations, not to compel observ ance o t the Hyr of humanity. On the contrary, Huerta’s was the only power In Mexico to which appeal could be made for protection of life or property. T hat .was the only power which, in fact, did protect either American or .European or Mexican. It was only Within the territory where H uerta ruled that comparative peace and or der prevailed." The territory over wldch the. armed power of Carranza and YUla and their associates extended was the theater of the most appalling crimes. Bands of robbers roved the. country with unbridled license. Amer-{ leans and Mexicans alike were at their mercy, and American men were mur- ‘ dered and American women were out- ’ raged with Impimity. -Thousands w ere. reduced to poverty, by the wanton d e-! strnction of the industries through which they, lived. Yet ^he government o f the United States- ignored, con- doned, -the Effirder of American men 1 and the rapM ff American «vomen».aud destruction StlAmerican property^and insult to AnmUcan officers and defile ment of the American Uag and -joined itself to the men who were guilty of all these things to puli down the pow er of Huerta. W hy?, The president himself has told its. It was because be-adjudged Huerta to be a usurper, because be deemed -that the common I Oeopie o t Mexico ought to have great er participation In government' and share In the land, and he believed th a t, CatTanza and Villa would give them these'things.- We m ust all sympathize with, these sentiments, but there is nothing more dangerous than mis-: placed sentiment. • | W hen our army landed at Vera Cruz Carranza himself, who was to be the chief beneficiary' of the act, publicly protested against i t So strong was the resentment that he’could not have kept his followers otherwise. W hen Huerta had fallen the new government which for the day had succeeded to his place peremptorily demanded the withdrawal of the American troops. The- universal sentim ent of Mexicans required the peremptory demand, -and the troops were withdrawn. Still: worse than that, the taking of Vera Cruz destroyed confidence In the sin cerity- of the American government in Mexico, because every: intelligent man in Mexico believed th a t: the avowed reason for the act was not* the : real reason. The avowed purpose was, to compel a salute to the American flag. ' Three hundred Mexicans were report ed killed; seventeen United States ma rines' were killed and many were wounded. At that very time Mr. Bry an, with the president's approval, was signing treaties with half the world agreeing that if any controversy should arise it should be submitted to a joint commission and no action should be taken until after a full year had elaps ed.’ Thts controversy, slight as it was, arose on the 9th of April, and on the 21st of the same month Vera Cruz was taken.’ W ith the occupation of '• Vera Cruz the moral power of the United States In Mexico ended. . We were then and we are now hated for _ what we did to Mexico, and we were * then and we are. now despised for our feeble and irresolute failure to protect the lives and rights of our citizens. No flag is so dishonored and no citizenship- so little worth the claiming in Mexico as ours. And that is why we have' failed in Mexico. Policy of "Watchful Waiting.” Incredible as it seems, Huerta had been turned out by the assistance of the American government without any guaranties from Ihe men who were to he set up in his place, and so the mur dering and burning and ravishing have gone on to this day. A fter H uerta had fallen and the Vera Cruz expedi tion had been withdrawn President Wilson announced that no one was entitled to interfere in the affairs of Mexico; that she was entitled to settle them herself. He disclaims all re sponsibility for w hat happens in Mex ico and contents himself w ith a pol icy of watchful waiting. And for.the - death and outrage, the suffering and ruin of our own brethren, the hatred and contempt for our country and the dishonor of our name in that land the - administration .at. Washington shares responsibility with the inhuman brutes with whom it made common cause. W hen we turn to- the administra tion’s conduct of foreign affairs inci dent to the great w ar in. Europe we cannot fall to perceive thaf there is much dissatisfaction among Ameri cans. Dissatisfaction is not iii itself ground for condemnation. The situ- atlon created by the w ar has been diffl- ’ cult and trying. Much of the. corre spondence of the state department. * especially since Mr. Dansing . took charge, has been characterized by ac curate learning and skillful statem eut of specific American rights. Threo Crrors -In European Policy. . A. study of the administration’s 'pol- ■icy toward Earojie since July, 1914, reveals three fundamental errors;. First, the lack of foresight to make.'timely provision for backing up Ameftcap di plomacy by actual or assured military and naval force; second, tbe '‘forfel- : ture of the world’s respect for our as-' sertion of rights by pursuing the policy ’ of making threats and failing to make them gcod; third, a loss of the.moral forces of the civilized world through failure to truly interpret to the world the spirit, of the American democracy ~ i In- iST Uttiiwfc toward the terrible events wtdchfaccdmpanied the early, stages of tliew ar. First; as to power: When thffw ar In Europe began, free, peaceable JUttle Switzerland instantly mobilized upon Jier frontier a great army of trained citizen soldiers. Stur dy little.H olland did the .same, and both have kept their territory and their independence inviolate. Great, peaceable America was farther removed from the conflict, but her trade and ;her citizens’ traveled on ev ery sea. Ordinary knowledge of Eu ropean affairs made it plain that the war was begun not by accident, but with purpose which woujd not soon be relinquished. Ordinary knowledge of military events made it plain from the .- moment when the tide of German Inva- 1 slon turned from -the battle of the Marne that the conflict was certain to be long andflesperate. Ordinal? knowl edge of history—of onr own history during the Napoleonic wars—made if plain that In that conflict neutral rights would be Worthless unless: powerfully maintained. The Democratic government a t Wash ington. did not see it.. Others saw it, and their ,opinions found voice. Mr. Gardner urged it,-Mr. Dodge urged it, Mr. StimSon urged it, Mr. Roosevelt urged i t but their argument and ur gency Were ascribed to political mo tives, and the president described them with n sneer as nervous and excited. Wilsoii Has 8hifted Ground. But the warning voices would not be stilled. Tbe opinion that we ought no longer to !remain defenseless became public opinion.' Its expression grew more general and insistent, and finally the president, not leading, but follow ing, has.shifted bis ground, has revers ed his position stnd asks the country to prepare against war.' God grant that he be not too late. But the Democrat ic party has not shifted its ground. A large part of its members in congress are endeavoring now to sidetrack the movement for national preparedness, to muddle it by amendment and turn it into channels which will produce the least possible result in the Increase of national pow er of defense. W hat sense of effectiveness in this effort can we gather from the presence of Jose phus Danids at the most critical post of all—the head of the "navy depart ment—when • we - see that where preparation has been possible it has not been made, when we see that con struction of warships already author ized has not been" pressed and in some coses after long delay has- not even been begun? " If an increase of our country’s power to -defend! itself against aggression In authorized by the: present congress It must be largely' through Republicaa votes, because all the traditions and convictions, of-that party are for i' tional power and duty and honor. ' As to the policy of threatening words without deeds; When Uermany- gave notice of her purpose to. sink merchant vessels on the high seas without safeguarding the lives of ipnocent passengers our gov ernment on the- IOth of February one year ago informed Germany In unmis takable terms that In attacking and sinking vessels of the United States and In destroying the lives of American citizens lawfully traveling upon mer chant vessels of other countries she would act a t her peril. They pledged the power a n d ; courage of America, with her !hundred million people and her vast Wealth, to. the protection of her citizens, as during all her history through die days of her youth and weakness'she had protected them. . On the 28th of March the passenger steamer Falaba was torpedoed by a German submarine and an American citizen was killed, but nothing was done. On the :28th of April the Amer ican vessel Cushing was attacked and crippled by a German aeroplane.. On the 1st of May the American vessel Gulflight Was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine and two or more Americans were killed, yet nothing was done. On the"?th of May the Lusita nia was torpedoed and sunk by a Ger man submarine; and more than 100 Americans and 1,100 other noncom batants were drowned. The very thing Which our -government had warned Germany ;she must not d<L Germany did of set !purpose and In the most con temptuous and shocking way. Then, when- all !America leas stirred to the depths, our government addressed an other note to Germany. It repeated its asserdon'of American rights and renewed its bold declaration of pur pose. It declared again that the Amer ican government “must hold the im perial German government to a strict accountability for any Infringement of those rights,, intentional or incidental,” and it declared that it would not "omit any word .or any act necessary to the performance o f its sacred duty of main taining the rights of the United States and its citizens and of safeguarding their free exercise and enjoyment.” Still nothing, was done and a long and technical; correspondence ensued, haggling bver petty, questions of de tail, every !American note growing less and less strong and perem ptory'until the Arabic waS torpedoed and sunk and more. American lives were destroy ed; , and;, still • nothing was done, and the correspondence continued until the allied defense against German subma rine warfare made it unprofitable and led to its abandonment, and the cor respondence MTapparently approaching Its end without securing evjm that par tial protection for the future Which .might be ffound Ih ah admission that Uie destruction of the Lusitania was forbidden. by law. The later corre spondence Jias been conducted by our state department with dignity, but it futaifem gdm lssion of lia bility for damages has been secured, but the time , for real protection to HUSBAND RESCUED IffiSPAIRlNG WIFE After Four Tears «f Duconraginf Conditions, Mrs. BaOodf Gave (Jp in Despair.

American rights has long since passed. -The brave words w ith which we be gan the controversy bad produced no effect, because they were read In the light of two extraordinary events. One was the report of the Austrian ambassador, Mr. Dumba, to his gov ernm ent th at when the American note of Feb. 10-was received he asked the secretary of state, Mr. Bryan, whether it m eant business* and received an an sw er which satisfied him th at it did not, but w as intended for effect a t home in America. "Too Proud to Fight.” The other event w as the strange and unfortunate declaration of the presi dent in a public speech in Philadelphia the fourth day after the sinking of the Lusitania th at “a m an may be too proud to fight” W hatever the Aus trian am bassador w as in fact told by The secretary of state, the impression which he reported was supported by the events which followed. W hatever the president did mean, his declaration, made In public a t th at solemn • time, amid the horror and mourning of all our people over the m urder of their children, was accepted the world over as presenting the attitude of the Amer ican government tow ard the protection of the life and liberty of American citizens in the exercise of their just rights, and throughout the world the phrase “too proud to fight” became a byword of derision and contempt for the. government of J b e United States. Later, in another theater of war—the M editerranean—Austria, and perhaps Turkey also,. resumed . the practice. The Ancona and then the Persia were .destroyed, and more Americans were killed. W hy should they not resume' the practice? They had learned to be lieve that, no m atter how shocked the American government m ight be, its resolution would expend itself in words. They had Icaruoil to believe that it w as safe to kill Americans, and the world believed with them. (Concluded next week.)

APRIL 12. 1916 NUMBER 39 fh y Every Citizen of Davie Cconty j Good Roads Meeting. Should T ake His County Paper, j _ A. m eeting of th e B oard of Road By Rufua Koonlz. lv/ory citizen should keep well post 0(1 011 the happenings of his county and State in general. No one can do this without taking his county newspaper. By reading the| paper one will keep well informed of ail accidents marriages, births, deaths, and the happenings of the county much earlier, with less trouble and expense than by borrowing his neigh bors paper as some people do. One who reads his county paper can sometimes save several dollars hv reading the advertisements of the county merchants*who sometimes luivo the very identical article that a jiersoii may want and at a much smaller price than they would have to pay by trading with out of the county merchants, who pay none of the taxes which keep up your countv. Thecounty paper carries an ac count of the cotton and country pro duce market. Farmers, especially, should take their county paper, for the market alone may be worth the price of the paper to them. By tak ing the paper they can sell their produce when it reaches the highest point, thereby making more than the cost of the paper on no large amount of produce. The paper has a railway and auto- line schedule which is of importance to people who live out of town, who when wanting to go to some of the neighboring cities, can| learn when the trains arrive and what direction traini go at certain times saving much time, trouble and sometimes great expense, which would be eli minated if they took the paper. The cost of the paper is small, be ing only $1 per year. Every man in Davie county tnat would read his paper would not regret taking-it,- as he will get more than what he pays for it by saving on purchases and receiving more for his produce by keeping posted on the market. I venture to make the assertion that there is few men in Davie county who do not spend several times the cost of the paper for tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, snuff and other useless articles, which instead of being of help to the country are of no good whatever in the upbuilding of a country. The paper has one page devoted to current opinions. It, is very import ant that all people read this and in doing so they keep well posted on what is taking place around them. Nearly everyone is watching with in tense interest the outcome of the Mexican situation, then why not read your county paper? To be sure, the people are not so excited over the war news as they were a year ago, but everyone wants to read about the more important things, such as the defense of Verdun. Thecounty paper carries the more important points in the above mentioned things. One page of the paper is devoted to fire prevention which is a good thing and every one should know. If all would read more of how to prevent fires and be governed ac cordingly, it would do more than all that is done to fight fires. The columns of the county paper are always open to the citizens of Davie county. If one wants to write a piece and set his views before the people the paper is at his service. If one wants to advertise his produce which he has to sell, the paper is the means by which nearly all the people <«f the county and numerous out of the county peopie are notified. The county newspaper is the ad vocate of improvement. Are vou toing to support.

Tbe first application gives Base and Rest. SOc Not AU Operations SaccessfaL Written for The Record by Dr. E. M. Griffin, of Farmington. I wish to put (he newspapers and their various correspondents of the day in the true light as to the invariable custom of reporting every surgical operation success ful, because they didn't die under the knife. AU people who are operated upon at the hospitals are always getting along "nicely,” or "the uperation was success ful" if the patient survives the knife. The final results, wh ther the patient dies later from the effects of the opera tion, or is made an invalid for life, can only determine the success or failure of an operation. This di -honest and mis leading custom of advertisidg for the hos pitals is causing many honest, credulous people to accept these misleading and al luring advertisements at their "face val ue,’’ coupled with the importunity of their fadish physician to go to the hospital and be operated on for an imaginary sur gical disease which doesn't touch the cause of the sickness, when if a little common sense and good judgment were exercised the patient as a rule could be restored to health, and bis body remain in a normal state, without mutilation. If it takes all one has to go to the hospital and becomes practically an invalid for life, his case is lamentable. Spring. Spring is looked upon by many as the most delightful season of the year, but this cannot be said of the rheumatic. The cold and damp weather brings m rheumatic pains which are anything but pleasant.

Editor Record:—I have seen in the State papers wavy statements and editoiials concerning the Be* publican Couveution, owing to tbe 'fact that’the reporters who could only see one side or failed to state what they saw.- Do yon not think the people should know the trutht They say Mr. Butler controlled the couveation. I guess they failed to hear a general outcry. "Down with Butler”, and failed to hear Mt. Mr. Settle speak, whoi was not praising Mr. Butler. And the con vention approved this action. Tbeo .Mr. Settle and not Mr. Butler nom inated Mr. Morehead; and it was this action that the whole conven tion was looking forward to see— tbe uniting of the two factions. For we all know that Mr. Morehead was a Progressive, and Mr. Settle was a Republican in 1912. In tbe night meeting, men from the con vention as a whole were pat for ward as delegates; and we had no factious. These facts alone Btirred the Democrats, and in these facts we see the reason why they are printing one side of the proceed icgs. For like some of their mem bers in Congress, they are afraid to face tbe facta like men, and let the people know just what is going on. ' We ate sorry that the gentlemen who reported could not see why to many men were not allowed to speak. The delegiitesdid not go down there to explode hot air as the Democrats did in Charlotte. And being a democratic body of men who went down there for buer uess, they did m»t w o t i ba u* ine same thing over again; and the main objtct of every tr«e Repabli can was to unite tbe Republican parly, and present a solid front in thecoming 1916 election. Therefore they did not care to hear those men who were not willing to drop ont, if necessary, to unite tbe party. This is wbat tbe Democrats most feared; for when the Repnblicans get together, the Democrats most get down and out aud give room to tbe party that has so guided the destiny ot the nation tbat Sbe now stands Hist among nations, at, though we have a party in power who Iiias not unity in their own ranks. Now, fellow Republicans, jf we can get together, and stick together we w Il place men in power who, with a firm hand, will uphold tbe dignity and honor of this nation. B. C. BROCK.

The body was found sev eral hours later'in Greene county, a dozen miles away. Black was the father of 16-year-old William Black, who was removed IastSaturday from tbe Greene county jail to the State penitentiary at Raleigh to prevent a threatened lynching. William Black is charged with criminal assault up on a six-year-old white child in Greenecounty last Friday. After the crime was committed, he Went to his home, where, it is said, his father supplied him with arms and assisted him to escape. He was cap tured by a posse in a running fight, in which one of the officers and him self were slightly wounded. We are reaping what we have sown. So long as the Governor lets murderers escape the electric chair, just so long will we have lynching bees in North Carolina. Thisiathe second one this year.

Washington, April 4. — Justice Gbarles E Hogbes will accept the Republican presidential nomination if it comes to him without protest and is urged on him on the ground that his party considers him the man most likely to wrest the control of the government from tbe Democrats. This was the opinion expressed here today by a few Republican lead ers, liigh in the councils of that par ty. who have been closely in touch for the past few months with the former governor of New York. Al though Justice Hughes announced about six weeks ago that he was not acandidate. it has been carefully noted that never has be stated that under no circumstances would he become a candidate. It has been noticed here that sentiment has drifted more strongly towards Jus tice Hughes since the reunion last week between Senator Root and Colonel Roosevelt. This has been chiefly owing to tne fear that the Colonel’s candidacy icay ruin what the Republican leaders believe to be the best chance they have had in years to oust the Democrats from power, and the belief that tbe put ting forward of Hughes alone will head off the Colonel and assure a Republican victory this fall.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - $ I OO SIX MONTHS, IN ADVANCE . - $ SO THREE MONTHS. IN ADVANCE $ 25 WEDNESDAY. APRIL 12, 1916. The political pot has begun to simmer mighty early this year in both State and Nation. Almost every week a new man announces himself a candidate for some office from president down. There will be lots of long faces after the' big conven tions in June, for each party can nominate but one man for president. But the saddest time of all ,will be after the votes are counted on No vember 7th. And the township con stable who is defeated will feel just as bad about the matter as the pres ident who goes down in defeat. The newspapers throughout the country are facing a paper famine and unless the European war comes to a close soon the big dailies will have to reduce the size of their - pa pers and many, of the weeklies will have to cut off all their delinquent subscribers. The price of paper has advanced two or three times since Feb. 1st, and the end is not - yet Tlie price of inks and all grades of stationery keeps soaring with the supply =Sn sight limited. The news papers are hard hit, and the sub scribers should see that their sub scriptions are kept paid up. There are fool editors, fool law yers, fool doctors and fool preachers and laymen. The Rev. E. T. Lid dell, in a sermon in a Durham Meth odist church recently, said: “The Republican party would vote for any old rum sucker rather than vote for Jesus Christ to come and set up his kingdom on this earth and reign in glory.” And the next day after he said this, Tom Taggart, of Indiana, was named as a Democratic Sena tor. We don’t know Mr. Liddell, but if we thought he. wasn’ t larger than us we would be tempted to call him a liar and a fool combined. We are at least safe in saying that he is not fit to be a preacher. He would make a good Democratic editor. Mocksviile is in need of more pro gressive citizens—men who will get busy and secure new manufacturing enterprises for the town, a building and loan association, some kind of fire protection and more good citi zens to locate in our midst. We are well supplied with citizens who hang around and tell how the town should be run, but who never do anything but give advice. We also have a nnmber of citizens who don’t want the town to grow for fear their tax es would be increased a little. The men we need are progressives—men who will take delight in getting new enterprises to locate in our midst, men who will boost instead of knock the town. Let’s try to land some thing worth while for Mocksville during 1916. ~ Attention, Automobile Owners. Representatives of the Depart ment of Good Roads, Washington, D C., and the North Carolina State Highway Commission are to arrive in Mocksville on Monday, April 24. at 10 a. m., on their inspection trip of the State Central Hiehway and thelNorth Carolina Post Road. This trip is made to decide , which route is to be designated as the official StateCentral Highway—the route from Greensboro via Lexington, Salisbury, Mooresvilie and States ville, or by Winston-Salem, Mocks- ville and Statesville. It 'has been suggested that all automobile own era in the town and county who can, to meet in Mocksville Monday morn ing,\ April 24 at 9 a: m„ and go out a mile or more on the highway to meet the distinguished visitors'and welcome them to our town. It would be a good idea to decorate the cars, if possible. The Davie County Board of Road Commission ers have been called to meet in spec- ■ ial session that day, and all citizens of .the coupty wha are interested in gb’od roads are iirg^S to be "here on this occasion. We want the route through Davie to tie selected as the official route, , with a Government patrol over it. .At least 50 automo biles should be here^ to meet the party, and a thousand or fifte n hundred citizens of thfecounty should be on the Square to welcome-the good road men.

Queretaro, April 7.—The Mexican government has not given the Uni- ted'Statesitpermission to use the Mexican railroads for any purpose whatever, General Candido Aguilar, minister of foreign relations, de clared today, after a meeting of the Carranza cabinet.. He denied vigor*. ously the stories published in the United States that the Carranza government has consented to the use of railroads by Americans for the transportation of supplies. He asked the Associated Presstorectify these reports. Washington, April 7.—Secretary Lansing tonight flatly denied that Carranza had asked the United States to withdraw troops from Mexico. The statement-was made to allay recurring reports that such a re quest had come from Queretaro. An encouraging feature ^today’s reports was found in the indications that Carranza troops are actuallv co operating with the Americans. Germans Lose 200,000 Men. Paris, April 7.—According to semi official estimates made public here, the German losses before Verdun have reached the huge total of 200,- 000.

Address as Temporary Chairman of New York Republican Convention Points Out Sins of Democratic Com mission and Omission-uWe Have Lost Influence. Because We Have Been Brave In Words and irresolute In Action." (Continued from !ast week ) Shaking Fist and Finger. No man should draw a pistol WhP dares not shoot. The government .that shakes its fist first and Its finger after ward falls Into contempt. Our diplo macy has lost Its authority and Influ ence because we have been brave In words and irresolute in action. Men may say that the words of our diplo matic notes were justified; men may say that our inaction was justified, but no' man can say that both were wise and creditable. I ha ve said that this government lost the moral forces of the world by not truly interpreting the spirit of the American democracy. The American democracy stands for something more than'beef and cotton and grain and manufactures; stands tor something that cannot be measured by rates of exchange and does not rise or fall with the balance of trade. The .'.mcrican people, informed by their own experience that is confirmed by their observation of international life, have come to see that the independence of nations, the liberty of their peoples, justice and humanity, cannot be main tained upon the complaisance, the good j nature, the kindly feeling of the strong | toward the weak; that real independ ence, real liberty, cannot restppon suf ferance; that peace and liberty can be preserved only by the authority and observance of rules of national con duct founded upon the principles of justice and humanity; only by the es tablishment of law among nations, re sponsive to the enlightened public opih- ion of knanklnd. To them liberty means not liberty for themselves alone, but for all who are oppressed. Justice . means not justice for themselves alone, but a shield" for all who are weak against, the aggression of the strong. To this people the invasion of Bel gium, brought a shock of amazement and horror. If the public opinion of the world was to remain silent upon that, neutral upon that, then all taikf about peace and justice and international law and the rights of man, the progress of humanity and the spread of liberty is idle patter, mere weak sentimentality; then opinion Is powerless and brute force rules and will rule the world. If no difference is recognized between right and wrong then there are no moral standards. There come times In the lives of nations as of men when to treat wrong as if it were right is trea son to the right. • ' The Wrong Done to Belgium. The American-people were entitled not merely .to feel, but to,speak con- j cerning the ,wrong .done to Belgium. 1 It was not like interference in the in -, ternal affairs of Mexico or any other nation, for this' was an international wrong. ■ Tiie law ' protecting Belgium which was-violated was our law a n d . the law of. every' other civilized conn- j try. That law wtts the protection o f I our peace and • security. It • was our ■ safeguard against. the necessity of , maintaining great armaments and wasting our substance In continual, readiness for war. Moreover, thatlaw j was wrltten: into a solemn and formal convention, signed and ratified by:Ger- many and Belgium and Brance and the United States In which those Vbther, ' countries agreed with us that .th e-Irff should be observed. • ' : I I There was no question here, of inter-. fering in the quarrels of Europe.-,:,We ‘ had a Tight to be neutral, and we w ere1 neutral as to the quarrel between G er-1 many and Prance, but when as an In- eldest vtb the prosecution . of th a t’ quarrel Germany broke the law which we were entitled to have preserved and which she had agreed with us to, preserve we were entitled to be heard In the assertion of our own national right. Neutral Between Right and WrengI Yet the American government ac quiesced in-the treatm ent of Belgium and the destruction of the law of na tions. W ithout one word of objection or dissent .to the repudiation of law or the. breach of our treaty p r the vio lation of justice and. humanity In the treatm ent of Belgium our government enjoined’upon the people of the United States an undiscrimlnating and all em- 1 bracing .neutrality, and the president admonished the people that they must be neutral In all respects, in act and word and thought aiid sentiment. Wc were,to be-not merely neutral as-to the quarrels o f Europe,.-lmt neutral as to the treatment' ’Of jje lglum. neutral’ .be- !W eeg tight: neutraffbe- tw e e n ;;jn stt^ ^ d .jn JU f^ ,tm u tr^ :l^. twee^ himitijfty ohd cruelty, rifeutral ' betw t^.n lflr^ttw 'tb p fiteeaio u .. ,Our governm entdidm ore ,Dtaif acquiesce;, for la d h & fira i^ u g ita n ia ,w lth th e unspeakaWei;ffi>rrbts..ofvthe' oonquent of Belgiiiidatiu fresb& t'our minds,-am the veiT 'ij^ ? J t^ .';the report of tM} Bryce Cfliiflttiisibfix bn Bolltlan atroA And so the government of the United States appeared as approving the treat ment of-Belgium. It misrepresented the people of the United States in that acquiescence and apparent approval. It Was not necessary that the United States- should go to war In defense of the violated law. A single official expression by the goyemmeilt of the United States, a single sentence deny ing assent- and recording disapproval of what Germany did in Belgium, would have given to the people of America that leadership to which they were entitled in their earnest groping for the light It would have ranged behind American leadership the con science and morality of the neutral -world.It was not to be. The American government failed to rise to the de mands of the great occasion. Gone were the old love of justice, the old passion for liberty, the old sympathy with the oppressed, the old ideals of an America helping the world toward a better future, and there remained in the eyes of mankind only solicitude for trade and profit and prosperity. Shrank From tho Truth. ' The American government could not really have approved the treatment of Belgium, Uut5Under a mistaken policy it shrank from speaking the truth. Such policies as I have described are doubly dangerous In-their effect upon foreign nations and In their effect at home. It is a matter of universal ex perience that a weak and apprehensive treatment of foreign affairs invites en croachments upon rights and leads to situations in which it is difficult to prevent war, while a firm and frank policy at the outset prevents difficult situations from arising and tends most strongly to preserve peace. On the other hand, if a government is to be strong in its diplomacy its own peo ple must be ranged In its support by leadership of opinion in a national cause worthy to awaken their patri-' otism and devotion. We have not been following the path of peace. We have been blindly stum bling along the road that continued will lead to inevitable war. When our government failed to tell the truth about Belgium it lost the opportunity for leadership of the moral sense of the American people and it lost the power which a knowledge of that leadership and a sympathetic re sponse from the moral sense of the world would have given to our diploma cy. When our government failed to make any provision whatever for de. fending its rights In case they should be trampled upon it lost the power which a belief in its readiness and will to maintain its rights would have giv. en to its diplomatic representations. When our government gave notice to Germany that it would destroy Amer ican lives and American ships at its peril onr words, which would have been potent if sustained by adequate preparation to make them good and by the prestige and authority of the"moral leadership of-a great people in n great cause, were treated with a contempt which should have been foreseen, and when onr government failed to make those words good its diplomacy was bankrupt. Upon the record of performance which I have tried to describe will the American people say that the Demo cratic party is entitled to be continued In power? The defects of the present adminis tration arise -from two. distinct causes. The first is the temperament and train ing of the president.. Tlie second is the incapacity of the Democratic party as it is represented in Washington both in the legislative and In the executive departments either to -originate wise policies or to follow .them when pro posed by others or to administer them effectively if they BTe established/ The Democrats.in, congress are never-con trolled except with a. club, .and gov ernment witli a club is always spas: modle and defective. ... : We must not deceive ourselves by assuming that the critical period aris ing from the great war has passed. The real dangers and the real tests of the strength of our institutions lie be fore ns. The naost-exacting demands- upon the wisdom, the spirit and the courage of our-.country are.still to be made. In this great, conflict all forms of government are on trial, democracy with the rest. , The principles ,bit na tional morality are on trial . We must Play our-part In the ,universal-trial whether we will or-no, for upon the re sult depends directly the question whether our repnblic can endure. What Ar* People to’fexpeet? But what are the people to .expect If the Republican party is restored to power? , This much we can say now: ‘ They may expect, with confidence, that their government -will meet ,the economic situation with which w« must deal ,immediately upon the close of the war, with a policy of moderate ltuti .adequate-protection to -American industry. . They may expect that the govern ment will be'administered with the honesty and efficiency which have marked Republican administrations In the past They may expect that the best possi ble course for the preservation of peace win.be followed by. a foreign pol icy which, with courtesy and friendliness to all nations, is frank and fear less and honest In its assertion of American, rights. ., They may expect that their govern- -jjpent will stead, for full and:adequste preparation fey the American people for their own’defense. The. Republican party loves peace and hates w«r; It abhors and will never submit to mRl- . tery domination; but it is composed of men who love our country who deem that the independence, the liber ty, the honor and the opportunity of the American democracy are not meie- Iy to .be taiked about with weak aad k POSITIVE STATEMEHT: I BUSINESS HUI "Neglect of Apparently.

It is clearsighted enough to see that preparation for defense must have due relation to the possibilities of attack: that under the conditions of modern warfare much preparation must be made before a possible attack .or all preparation will l>e impossible after tho attack. The Republican par ty stands for a citizenship made com petent by training to perform the free man’s duty of defense for his country. It stands for a regular army no larger than is necessui-y, but as large as Is necessary to serve as a first line, a nucleus, a source of instruction and of administration for the army of Ameri can citizens who may be called upon to defend their country. And the Re publican party stands for the gospel of . patriotic service to our country by every citizen, according to his ability In peace and In war. It stands for a reawakening Cf.American patriotism. It is not content that while the people of other lands are rendering tl-Sfc last full measure of devotion in sacrifice and suffering and dying for'their coun tries America shall - remain alone dull to the call of-country and Satisfied In the comforts -and pleasures of pros perity. ‘ Our.

They may' expect that assured readiness for defense will give power to our diplomacy in the maintenance of peace.They may expect that the power and will of a united people to defend their country will prevent the application to; onr peaceful and prosperous land of the hateful doctrine that among nn tions might makes right regardless.,of the rules of justice and humanity. , , Tliey may expect that the .manifest, potential strength and competency of. the nation will maintain the effective-' ness and reality of that great policy of national safety: which in the declara tion of President Monroe forbade, the destruction of our security by the es tablishment of hostile military powers in. bur neighborhood. They may expect that their govern-, ment will not forget, but- will ever maintain, the principles of American freedom, the duties of America to the peace and progress of the world, and those Meals of liberty and ,justice- for all mankind which nboVe all else make the true greatness oftheAmerican democracy. PROPERTY OWNERS RESPON SIBLE. The courts in several states have re cently held property owners reaponsir ble for all; damages from fire when they tailed to. comply with state laws or local ordinances. Recent opinions given by the attorney-generals of sev eral states are to the effect that "At common law, one employing fire as his agency, or upon-whose property a fire has been accidentally or without his fault started, who fails to exercise oft dtnary care under the. circumstances to prevent its spread to 'neighboring property, or one who negligently . or carelessly starts a fire, is liable for damages to another tor injury to 'per-- son or property of which injury such fire or its spread is the proximate cause.” - These decisions and opinions are of the utmost importance to every fife- prevention association in this country, and should result in making the en forcement of aH fire-prevention lawk and ordinances much easier. When toe chief or a memher of toe fire depart ment makes an inspection of hazard ous conditions, orders changes or re pairs made, or rubbish removed, and calls the property owner’s attann^p to the fact that he Is liable for dam- ages In case of fire, the property -own er is quite likely to obey instructions forthwith, and he will In the fntura be much more careful about allowing hazardous conditions in and- about Mtt property.

STOCKADE FOR THE FAMILY Each Contribution is'Small But When Grouped Together Becomes Sufficient For AU. Ufe insurance offers its service to all and bears toe risk of life, which no man can afford to carry alone. It needs no disaster on sea or land to emphasize man’s helplessness as an in dividual. ' The law of averages and the deaths occurring from ordinary, causes every day are sufficient Each person should attach himself to a group suf ficiently strong to meet the possible Joss. This he does when he secures an insurance contract To a family, toe loss of an individual life may be a tragedy; to a group it is but an inci dent in the work of the day. No one can say what a day may bring forth for the man who stands alone; but we know that the great curent of life as a whole moves on securely in chan nels broad and deep. Thedangertoa single life is great. For the group, the element of danger does not exist at all. Life insurance is protection—a ref uge for all entitled to its care. Those who have read' of the struggles of the early pioneers, know about the com munity stockade. The walled enclos ure, . built by the scattered farmers working together, furnishes the secur ity which the lonely cabin, no matter how full of hope and happiness In peaceful times," could not give when hostile Indians were on the warpath. As toe frontiersmen built with joint labor toe stockade which served for toe protection of each and all, so the responsible nien of today build, by Joint effort, a solid wall of security, be hind which families can shelter when a foe, more relentless than savages, overtakes them. The building is a la bor of love—of service—the kind ol labor strong men give gladly for the security and 'happiness of those de pendent upon them. The' contribution of any individual is small—it would amount to but little in itself—but when united with the contributions of his fellows, becomes sufficient for the safety of all.—BL W. Randall. K M K You Need a Tonic There are times in every woman’s life when she needs a tonic to help her over the hard piaees When that time comes to you, you know what ton-c 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.

A man should take his county, pa per on account of local pride if noth ing else, as there is no paper in any county that is trying to educate and elevate and better the condition of its people that is not deserving of the support of its best citizens. Every citizen should take his coun ty paper because it is his best friend. It works for him at all times, that is, it works for the best interests of all the citizenship, and what helps all the people, of course helps tbe indi vidual. Theman who does notread his county paper does not keep up with the local news of his neighbor hood and county. He does not keep up with current events, therefore is n ot abreast with the times and makes less money than the fellow who does read it Tlie man who reads and keeps informed on current events is always listeneid to in his community. He is a welcome visitor among any group of people because they are all seeking knowledge, or should be. Every good citizen should take bis local paper because to be a good citi zen a man must love his family, be must love his community and love his countv, and he is compelled to support the agencies that are work ing for the elevation and the better ment of conditions. There is no agency so powerful for good as a good newspaper. If you will notice in any community a family that con stantly reads-the loeal connty paper, as well as other newspapers and magazines, that family becomes the best educated family in the commun ity; they become the moral leaders, the leaders of thought, the leaders in the church, and finally become tbe leaders in politics and in indus trial affairs «f the country at-iatge. It is impossible to estimate the value of the local newspaper in any home. Children will read of local happen ings of that community when they would not look at a book, and from neighborhood happenings they go to reading lengthy articles and editor ials and get ideas, information and inspiration and become ambitious for more light, and go to the local schools when they otherwise would not go. They beeo-ne bigger and broader and more far-sighted than the children in the home that con tains no reading matter. If there is anything in a child who has had an opportunity to catch an inspiration trom the newspaper, he is liable to go on to the high s.-hool and from the high school to the university^nd from the university he or she may become the greatest citizen of the state or nation. Any good local newspaper is worth more to any family where there are children than $50 wortfrbf books per year. This is the best, the brightest, the sweetest day in'the history of the world and it has been brought a- bout very largely bv the newspapers and the school teachers and preach ers of the country. The United Statesis the richest and greatest country in the world. It has a brighter future than any other coun try. This has all been brought a- bout largely from the same agen cies. Of course there are good newspapers and bad newspapers just like there are good men and bad men, but there are more good than bad. Itbehoovesthepeople to in vestigate and be careful of the character of literature that is placed in the hands of .their children, be cause the paper that is read by tbe children basa great deal'more to do with moulding their character than anything else, because it is read more diligently and more universally than anything else. Every man, woman and child should read The Record, especially those who live in Davie county. Canningdabs Preferable.

From Commerce and Finance. For what it is worth the following story from The Finance Newa of: London is printed here: In the latter half of last year—so runs a London legend—an of called on his bank manager with re gard to certain dispositions of bis balance preparatory to fats depar ture for the front. “You won’t be away long.” said the manager. “Bow do yon know?” was the re ply. “You will be bade in quite a short time, wounded in the hand." When the officer actually returned with a wounded hand, and in a short time, he was puzzled. However, his wound healed, and he was off again. Hewenttobid "Good-bye” at the bank. "Any more prophecies?” stud he, jocularly. “You will be away longer this time,” replied the manager, “and then yon will be rather badly wound* ei in the leg.” When the officer was wounded in the (eg and came home, he sought the first chance'to interview his far- seeing friend at the bank. “As yon can foretell my wounds, can't yon give me the date of the end of tbe war?” he asked. “The war will end,” said the man ager, “on June 17 next. But I shan't live to witness it. I Aall juat about see New Year’s Day, and that’s all.” He died on January 2. The officer is now looking forward with extra ordinary interest to June 17. Caaphiai of Speeding. ▲Statesville citizen, who is an automobile owner, asks The Land- fpark to say something about speed He thinks tbe-excessive speed maintained on tbe streets is a con Iiant menace to life and -limb, Which it is.' 'It’s bad enough for iibtbrists'to put ou extra speed on the broad streetB, where there is a ehance to get by. but speeding on farrow streets, and especially iaeMind street corners, is criminal. It’s not a matter of intentions deeds. Ofcoorse these speed ers don’t intend to burt anybody, Ibnt their doing the thing that will hurt somebody, in the face of Jkoowledge and repeated warnings. Iod their conduct indicates they don’t care; and when tbe serious Accident occurs as a result of the Recklessness—and so far we have only escaped by a miracle—the TCekleas speeder will be as guilty Morally as if had deliberately, and with premeditation, ran his car ihto somebody; and if he. would get what he deserves (we’re talking about the reckless speeders) he Connectiag Road Wbh Iredell, fonld wear stripes and shovel dirt' Statesville i A man proposes, woman sup poses, that is if Bhe thinks she will.

One of these four men is the prob- ehle next Republican nominee for tbe Presidency, according to the in dications of the country-wide poll recently taken by tne Literary Di gest, published by Funk & Wag- nalls Co., ol New York City. Justice Hughes seems to count himself ont by his determination not to draw the Supreme Court in to politict.

KirIt on Dancing and Cards. - B evf J F:.K irk, of Statesville, in.writing to;The~ Land|oark, has the following to say in regard to dancing and card playing: “ I am dppOsed Co.dancing, here, there and everywhere,, in the past, in tbe present and throughout all the future; Opposed to the square dance, the ronnd dance, the dance vertical or horizontal; I ,am etern ally and forevermore opposed to it in every shape,'form or fashion. A nd'I-Om BOt in opposition to-it because I am a 'preacher, bnt be- canse I am a man. Most, men are opposed to it, and they are opposed to it on the. same ground. Aud men know, if the women do not. I am opposed to dancing because it tends to arouse passions that are strong enough ad they are. They heed no artificial stimulation. ’ You say, “ Evil to hiin who evil thinks.” All right. Herearethe specifications. In the city of W— a spasm of reform struck the com mnnity. The grand jury was or dered to clean up the red iightdis trict. The proprietor of oue of the houses in this districjb was sum moned befoie the jury to give her testimony in this investigation. I quote her testimony as nearly lit eral as I dan in a public discussion: i ITou respectable people have made.our trade a social necessity. So long as you keep up your pres ent social habits we must keep open. . We have found out that the demands vary with yoar social activities.” Whenever a big ball i* announced, we wire to other towns to send in an extra Supply of girls Our experience has enabled as to anticipate to a nicety the demands of the trade. The,demand goes up and down with your big dances.” Thatis testimony direct in a court in a North Carolina city, given less than five years ago. Anotiher reason that I may ad vance as to why I am so strongly opposed to public dancing, is the indiscriminate-crowd there gather ed. Ordinarily I am a great be Iiever in equality and democracy But there are certain relations that are by nature exclusive, and among these are the relations of husband and wife. There is no harm in a husband’s embracing bis wife in public, if his taste leads him to do so. But when any Tom, Dick and Barry of the'ordinary summer ie. sort claims the right to usurp the husband’s place, I balk. I am just as much opposed to card jplaying as a social institution. The gaming instinct is all too strongly intrenched as human ua ture now stands^ without sedulous iy cultivating it. I see too much stock speculation: I know of' too mnch gambling on margins. I was a man a good many years before I was a preacher. I have played cards with men and with, women.

You gay you "already carry all you can pay for"—you "don’t want to cramp yourself’—you "don’t want to keep yourself poor paying premiums.”Really, you are covering only a part of the ground. It isn’t simply a question of how much you can live on or bow much you can lay by each year. There is the more important question of how much your family could live upon if you, the bread-winner, were suddenly taken away. They will get along all right while you live. They would manage to subsist somehow, even if your income were cut in two. Would they have as much as that if you were taken away? Would they have anything at all?Here is the question for every true man to consider: "How much must my wife and children have to enable them to live in simple com fort when I am no lmigdr here to provide.for them?

FACE THE FACTS! Weeks Talks About Our Navj and National Defense, on Military, Commercial, Fin ancial and Induatrlal Preparedneaa —Let Ua Be Ready for Peaca aa Wall aa War. By JAMES B. MORROW, Ia the Philadelphia Record. NONB of tho WaekseB, save Jobs Wingate, the Benator and the Massachusetts candidate for president—tolling as they all did among the granite humps of New Hampshire—was ever noted for his ac cumulation of cash or property, j. They were farmers mostly, begin ning with Leonard 'Weeks, who, emigrating from England In 1656, became the head and source of the family. -Agriculture sternly practiced among ,the embedded rocks/and irremovable (bowlders taught them to be resource ful and to keep at least one eye open to opportunity.So William D., the father of the senator, was a probate Judge, and once essayed to be a manufacturer. With ,the co-operation of neighbors, likewise alert and adventurous, he started a factory at Lancaster for making starch i from potatoes.' “I will never forget the look on my ,’father’s face,” Captain Weeks told me, i "when, on a Sunday morning, Just as (we were leaving church, we saw men I and boys running down the street and {heard them crying: ‘The starch fae- . (tory is burning.’ m Captain John Wingate Weeks. ; "There was no insurance—the pol icy had lapsed—and the fire swept away all of my father's means and put a burdensome mortgage on -his farm, two and a half miles In the country.”- If there had been a navy of a re spectable size In 1881 John Wingate Weeks would now be a captain in stead of a senator. Nor would he ever have become a banker and thus -have set at naught all the traditions of .the Weeks family Ihr self-respecting, capable.and wholesome poverty.' . And yet a. psychological analysis of Inherited traits might show that the senator comes naturaUy by his talents - for public affairs and finance. Any . inquiry into his personality must Include the Wingates, the chief of whom, John, an Englishman, emigrated to New Hampshire in 1660. The Weekses and the Wingates in termarried during the second American generation—the Weekses to con tinue as.farmers, with an excursion into potato starch, as has been re corded, but ,the Wingates to become soldiers, preachers and statesmen. Paine Wingate, for example, the great- grandson of John, was a member of the Continental congress and later a senator from New Hampshire. A- Big Man Physically. John Wingate Weeks of Massachusetts, in his name, therefore, goes back to the middle of the(seventeenth cen tury. Perhaps his gifts .are equally as ancient. Wherever ,they originated, he has made good use of them. He is well-to-do—but has less money, perhaps, than is often, represented—and Republicans In Massachusetts have notified the country that he is their candidate for president. It he is nominated at Chicago in June, the main .reason will have been that he is a business man. His candidacy, then, Avill be something entirely new In national politics. In his measurements. Captain Weeks is a large man. A reasonable guess at his wetght would be 260 pounds. Kis stature, perhapB, is five feet and eleven inches. His eyes are gray and his manner is frank and hearty- While at the naval academy he could slowly raise a 112-pound dumbbell above his head with his right hand.. Then, kneel ing with-one leg, he could slowly raise an 87-pound dumbbell with his left hand. More than that he could lower his hands to bis shoulders and slowly and simultaneously put both dumbbells above his head the second time.A muscular youth, he was recommended by his principal to the “pru dential committee” that called at the academy 'in Lancaster on a hunt of a teacher for-their district school The school was then closed—a- group of the Iqrge boys having carried the teach®- into tbe road, slammed him' down Mn the dirt&and warned him never ■td'Vetqj^s.i^:-;^. "Llek ^emr and . ilck 'em good," the prudently ; committee said. "Well , back ybtf up if you do.”"The third day,;- Captain Weeks told me, “a big, red-faced boy took ' his ,pen In hand and laboriously be gan to write a letter- that is, he was seemingly engaged In' writing a . let ter: CS matter of fact, he was showing off before the echool and expert minting with the new teacher. When a Ihe laxative tablet with the pleasant taste I,,to reliev e constipation (and sluggish I liv e rsicl - • ' • • 4:We(-have. the exclusive . selling- rights for this great laxative 37iO — • CRAWFORD’S DRUG STORE ordered to put his pen and paper away, he smiled around the room at the pupils, who had stopped working, and. then resumed his writing*. “I took him by the collar, dragged him out of his seat and gave him a thorough whipping. He turned out to be the son of Ute chairman of the prudential committee. The old man never spoke to me again, not even when I met him in the road, he rid ing In a buggy and I walking to of from my work.”Went to Sea for Two Years.On his graduation at the Annapolis Naval Academy, young John Win gate Weeks went to sea for a cruise of two years. Seventy men were in his class, but there was room for only 10 of them In the navy. The navy itself consisted of but five steam vessels classed as first-rates, and they were obsolete and unfit for activo duty. George Barnett, his room-mate, went into the Marine Corps .and is now a major general and the commandant of that branch of the naval service.In Florida, where he. had been en gaged as a surveyor on a railroad: tbe late Midshipman Weeks learned that an old firm in Boston was going out of business. One of the partners had died and another had become blind. Henry Hornblower, a son of one of the partners, and the youthful Mr. Weeks bought the business, the latter borrowing the money with which to begin his career as a banker and broker. Hornblower acted for the firm on the. floor of tbe Boston Stock Ex change. Weeks kept the books and waited on the customer's as they ap peared. In a few years the two young men had offices all over New England and in clttes as far away as Chicago."I got my first valuable business Idea from a famous New Jingland dressmaker,” Captain Weeks said to the writer of this articb. “A friend who came to spend the night at our bouse was talking to Mrs. Weeks while I was.reading a newspaper. I heard her say that she had bought a dress in Boston, and that soon after, on returning to the store, the proprietor, noticing her at the counter, asked if she had purchased the dress she was wearing at his establishment On learning that she had, he said: , ’“It is not right. Please giveyour name and, address to the clerk and we shall correct the matter at once/ A Story of Great Value.’• ‘But’ the voman replied, ‘the dress is ^satisfactory to me. Whatever is wrong is bo small that it is not worth mentioning.’ ( " 'Small to you, .-nadam,' the man answered, ‘but very large to us.’ '“And .do you know,’ the woman told Mrs. Weeks, the dress was not only taken back, but it was kept and I was given, a new one. “I repeated tbe story to my partner next day,” Captain Weeks said, “and from that time onward we tried to please our customers' before we thought of ourselves and the probable profits we could make In our transactions.” - Three years ago, following at once his election to the upper- House ol Congress, Cdhtain Weeks sold out to his partners and disposed of every in terest that might be thought, even indirectly, to influence his Judgment as a-lawmaker. It it said in New England that be has always been very careful-aboqt his reputation as a business man. sAh anecdote told of him In State street, the iWall street of Boe ton, Shows how his sensitiveness to public opinion on one occasion proved highly profitable to his partner and himself. A run on a bank In which Captain Weeks was a director, though he owned but $900 of the stock, threat-: ened, so he feared., to injure hia 'stand ing In the coBinunlty. He . spent s day and * night at the bank, pledged two-thirds o fall the property lie and his partner owned for the payment oi tue bank’s, debts and put through a re habilitating plan under which 'the shareholders were assessed 60 per cent, on tlteir holdings.. The bank was saved, but some of the frightened shareholders sold out. Their in terests were promptly bought by Captain Weeks. The bank prospered and later was combin- ' with other large banks. Boston financiers say that Mr. Hornblower and Mr. Weeks ultimately made $250,000 on the stock which they purchased when the bank seemed to be on the verge of ruin.When I asked Captain .Weeks about the matter, he said:. “I was a young man and ceuldn't afford to be a director in a bank that had.closed its doors in the faces of its depositors, many of whom were poor and most of whom were small merchants and wage-earners.” “How,” I asked him, inasmuch at he was a sailor himself once, and -is now on terms of intimacy with many high officers, ‘‘would you describe the navy of the United States?” “At the outbreak, of the war In Eu rope,” he answered, “our navy,- In my opinion, was the second , beat in existence. Authorities for whom I have great respect did not' agree with me. They ranked our navy third or fourth —some giving France . second place - and some believing Germany was stronger at sea than ourselves. . “I still think that in ships alone we were the equal of France or- Germany and much the superior of Japan. Our officers are the ablest in the. world; our crew^are the most intelligent. No nation gives Rb officers the training that is given to the. naval officers of the United States. And the men- In. our ships, coming from farms and vil- lages, in large part; are the finest morally and physically afloat. “In my days, back in 1880, let us 'say, -the sailor on thore leave wb*' returned to his ship sober was keelhauled or otherwise punished by his mates. AU chat has changed. Intoxicated sailors are see- no more pn the. streets: Our men are sober, serious and capable. When an estimate of any navy is made, the personnel, as yyell as ,the ships, must be considered. Lessons of "the War. "So I had thought- that only Great Britain excelled, us as % naval power at the outbreak of the war in Europe. Since the. war started, France and Germany have geen building Ships. Our rank Just now, therefore, is' un certain. , 3ut we. have, .a good navy. Still, it should be much larger.”“Has the war taught the world any naval lessons?" “A great many. It has shown tho value or aeroplanes, which are now known as the-eyes of the fleet They are very necessary, as. scouts. Leaving the deck of a vessel, they can easily locate the enemy and are'there fore of the greatest possible use In the events that occur before a battle. "The submarines, too,- it-lias been learned, are of a real and practical service. AU officers think they have become a permanent addition to every navy, blit there'is some disagreement as to their general utility. Can a swarm of submarines, -for . instance, go to sea, meet a fleet and de- stroy it? The question’ cappot bo answered until .such an attempt has been made and either failed or succeeded. , ‘i asked one of the highest military authorities in the country if 1,000 sub, marines, along with mines, could safeguard the United States Against, invasion—the mines to blow up the Snm mles’ ships off shore, lit any hap- pened to get that near, the submarines having met the- rest and destroyed them before they came within ktriking- dfstance of our coasts.

Their uses are slowly being developed, and we cannot know what they are capable of doing until the French or British fleet meets the fleet of Emperor William."Also, it has been learned that bat tle'cruisers, are required to bring a navy; up to its highest efficiency.Cruisers formerly were used as scouts and to bunt down and destroy the merchant ships of an enemy. They were swift, but not heavy enough to take a place In the battle line when large vessels were engaged. A 8ea Battle FirsL "The modern cruiser, however, can floht, being covered with armor and armed with largo guns. Steaming 30 knots an hour. It can run all around a fleet of dreadnaughts and pump shells into them from a long distance and from any angle. Our navy must have battle cruisers, besides a great many submarines and aeroplanes, 11 we mean to be in a position where we can protect ourselves against in jury, insult or dishonor.“It should be always remembered.Captain Weeks went on to say, “that our navy will be our first line of defense. American ships will meet for eign ships before there is a battle on shore. It the United Stotes goes tc war with any nation In Euorpe. or Asia, the fleets of the two countries will fight for the supremacy of the aCa. ' - "No Invading army will set out for America until it is safe from attack by our fleet So long as our fleet is afloat no army will venture to start for our shores. Moving troops from one country to another is an immense under taking, even when it is safe to do so."Four hundred large ships, for ex ample, would - be required to trans port an army of 250,000 men from Japan to the United States. Armies traveling by water have to carry their own artillery, ammunition and horses. Japan would not send 400. large troop ships out Into the Pacific unless its fleet; had fought and defeated our fleet' Nor would Germany or any other country in Europe attempt an invasion of the United States so long as our fleet, decks cleared, was waiting in the Atlantic. "Looking to the East I can see nc probable danger that is likely to occur In the near future, unless the allies are thoroughly beaten by Germany, or unless Germany is thoroughly beaten by the allies. If the war is practically a draw at the end, the efforts of all the great nations to maintain afi equilibrium of power will keep them entirely engaged for some time with their own affairs.” . "Ho-you believe that a trade war against this country will follow ths restoration of peace in Europe?” “Such a war will come—there is no doubt of it. Loaded with debt, burdened with taxation, Europe will turn with energy and ferocity to the works of peace. The factories in Europe, ex cept in Belgium, Poland and Northern France, have not been shut down nor burned. Indeed, new ones have been built. Industrially, save in the places I have named, Europe is better situated now than when the war began. Facts to Be Faced. "Things have been speeded up In Great Britain, Germany and France.The factories, old ones, and new ones, are running. They will be running after, the armies at the front have been, sent home, but instead of mak ing cannon and ammunition,. as at present, they, will be operated night and-day in the production of goods for the American markets.

By Gladys Beeker. - Why should everybody take their couuty paper? Here' are a few reasons why: In the tir&t place, one should take county paper because it is tb j county paper, and by so doing we can help it to be a better paper. Everybody should take his coun ty paper to get the news of his fel low citizens for it is a very easy matter for people to get acquaint ed through a paper. The couuty paper will bring us uews of the religious life of the county as well as the social and business. Through it we bear the news of the schools and churches. The county paper informs us of the sickness and death of oar fel low men as well as their health and prosperity. The couuty paper gives us the latest market prices so that the farmer will know where to carry bis produce, for what farmer is it that wants to go to market not knowing wbat be is going to get for wbat he has to sell! When small pox or some other contagious disease breaks out in our town the county paper warns all of danger and assures them that every precaution possible will be used to prevent the spread of the disease. , At d again when some great crime is committed in our midst such aB murder or robbery the couuty paper speaks out iu defense of the wronged and suffering and waals the law breaker punished. In this time of. war, if for no other reason we should read our county paper for we all are auxionb to know and eager to learn if there is any hope for peace. In our county paper we saw the uarnes of our teacners who so loy ally stood by our county Supt. in giviug the children of Davie coun ty justice in getting- our share of school tbiB year. Our county paper has stood for good roads and is still standing for them, it was through its columns that we learned when the 1Natienal highway from Winnton to States* ville was completed. Ourcouuty paper has advocated a fire department for Mocksville every siuce it has beeu printed. It the people bad only heeded we should in all probability have never lost our beautiful court house or the lar*e store buildings that burn ed in 1915. In our county paper we find all legal and public notices which we could get Irom no other source. Even the advertisements in this paper should be of interest to every, citizen. It you want to paint your house, or purchase clothing for the family or buy farm machinery, look at the advertisements in your pa per and you will know exact I \ where to go to buy these things acd by patronizing our home mer chants we are hot only helping him but we are helping our selves au^ our county. If you want dental work done, look for tbe ad of a reliable den tist In your paper. I •« One more thing I wifi mention and that might save you enough to pay for the paper a year or two, and that is the schedule of the Sonthern Kailway. Bead your paper and you will know just when to leave home to meet the train going to Wiuston or Oharlotle otherwise you might have to lose a whole day simply because you didn’t know when the train was due at Mocksville. Now in conclusion let me say that every county should furnish a good county paper. One that eve !ry good citizen will want to read. Itshould not be a political or “ denominational paper. It should stabd up for citizens and its county and should at all times respect other countys and other papers. The correspondentsof out county paper writing from different sec tions of the county should give such news that will be of interest to the readers, for here we learn news from all parts.of the county. Then every intelligent citizen will subscribe and read bis county paper, for to be intelligent you must kuow wLat is going on at home and abroad. And wbere fea better way to learn it than through the columns of the county paper. 5 Persons Killed; Over 30 Injured. Bradford, R.

Washington, April 18—The Ameri can government's communication to Germany, designed as the last word of tills government in the submarine controversy, was being put into dip lomatic code today for immediate transmission to Berlin. It isepected to go forward during the day. The document is said to be the most vigorous diplomatic paper that President Wilson and Secretary Lan sing ever have drafted. It covers the activities of' German submarines iiince Uie Lusitania affair and is in tended to force the question to a speedy settlement of the submarine issue by making plain that only an immediate change of Berlin’s policy can.prevent a rupture in the friendly relations between the two countries. Mexicans Fire Upon American Officers. Camp of General Pershing at the front, April 17, by Motor and Wire- ie8S to Columbus, N. M., April 18 — Ihe American pursuit of Villa is at a standstill because of an unprovoked attack upon American cavalrymen by the insubordinate soldiers of the Garranzagarrison at Parral. A small party of American officers was fired upon near here last night, none of the Americans being injured. This, coming on the heels of reported sniping, is responsible fot> the belief that the expeditionary comirand is ionfronted with a serious problem. At General Pershings headquarters there seemed no prospect of the re sumption of the chase. Prophecy That Failed—War Now an Old Story. everything.

Thistemedy is moat effectual in lettering coughs, ooldi and croup. ObtabaMe everywhere. Dogs. Charity and Children. As we advance in intelligence it really seems that tbe superstition that attaches to dogs ought to dis appear. : Dogs are the most useless as well as the most dangerous ani mals in tjhe State. No wild beast (if there be .any) that roams the moun? tain forests or the wide swtypps cif the coast; country is such a menace to the lives and peace of mind of our people as the half starved and mangy curs that wander about without a habitation or a name. A good dog may be worth his keep but his ownef is perfectly willing to pay a tax for the privilege of owning him. But the well fed clogs are not a menace to st ciety. It is the lean and hungry dogs that do not get a living froni their masters and who mu3t make it some other way that do the damage. Theyltill sheep and chickens and suck eggs for a living and occasion ally go mad and set whole neighbor?1 hoods in. a tumult. They are the dread of the summer time. The pu blic are exposed constantly to these vagrantdogs tnat do everybody harm and nobody any particular good. Why are legislators so mortatly afraid to furnish the protection to which the public are entitled from these nameless canines? If we could only get enough men in Raleigh at one time who would rather do right than be re-elected, there would be many wholesome laws enacted that the solon3 are afraid to tackle. We hoped against hope that sometime some Legislature would summon manhood enough to tax the worth less dogs out of existence. Rilling sheep is about the only charge that has been brought against them but this is a minor charge. They are a general inusiance and a perpetual peril to our peace and happiness^ We have-looked in vain- for a single rea son why there should not be enacted a rigid dog law. None has so far ever been offered. There is a name less dreatl however in the mind of our public men against passing a dog law. Uunicipalitieshavedoneit to their great benefit and no harm has befallen ihose communities but much good has followed. Let us have a general law that covers the whole State, and our Legislature will coyer itself with glory and future genera? tions will rise up and call it blessed: THIS MAY MEAN WAR.

The government pro poses to furnish Davie county the services of a competent engineer to supervise the maintainace of the Post Road from the Forsyth to the Iredell county line, provided we set aside the amount necessary to pay for the maintenance work, which, it is estimated, will cost $50 per mile per year. The government is to furnish the engineer free of. cost, and the county is to work under his supervision. All money spent on the Post Road will have to be ap proved by the government engineer before payment is made to contrac tors. Practically every county from Morehead City to the Burke county line, has decided to avail themselves of .the proposition presented to them by the government. A. T. Grant. Jr., attorney for the Board of Road Commissioners, made a short talk, heartily approving the proposition. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Road Commissioners met in exe cutive session and after discussing the matter thoroughly, decided to accept the proposition presented to them. Thegovernment is to take charge of the road maintenance work the first of May. The contract sign ed is for one year. The opinion of the public seems to be that the Da vie Road Commissioners did the right thing.A number of automobiles met the government road men at the Mocks- VilIe towhsnip line and escorted them to the city.

We should have warned our people out of the war zone in Europe as we warned them out of Mexico I have no syinpathy for the conduct of either Germany or England on the high seas. England has unlawfully seized as many sbips.as Germany has sunk. Each has been unscrupulous in its violation of in temational law. England has kicked- us off the high seas, impounded 1,000,000 bales of Southern cotton; killed the cotton market while Morgan manipulated the situation as her agent and bought it up at half-price, thus robbing the South of $400,000,000; then underwrote the Allies and bought their bonds with the money. “Our President has said there has been a combination of politicions, newspapers, and special interests trying to provide a war with Mexico which is likely true. Furthermore. I ain convinced that a gree dy gang led by Morgan and his minions seek to put us in war with Germany to enthrone a military despotism in this country. If so, it is one of the most dam nable conspiracies ever formed against the liberty of a ffee people.” 11 Killed; Many Are Injured. Kansas City, Mo..

DYNJUflTE DRY-CLEANING WITH GA80LINB ■ 1» MORE DANQEROUfi THAN PLAYING WITH DYNAMITC IfMtnietioni to Follow When It Io Necsiiary to Do Dry-Cloanlng Cl. ' Home.—Always to be Consid ered Dangerous Prooeaa. Most housewives would be (rigbiten- od into hysterics if they saw one of their children playing with a loaded shotgun. Yet some of those same women will thorughtlessly undertake dry-cleaning in the kitchen with gaso line. Using a bowl or pan of gasoline In the kitchen is about as harmless a pastim e, as playing football with a can oif nitroglycerins. . A firm which manufactures a com pound used with gasoline for dry- cleaning-is advertising rIts product ex tensively In this country under such headlines as "Housewives Save $5 by Using Gasoline.” “A Good Way to Coiiect Your Life Insurance’’ would have been a more appropriate heading* Gasoline is a high explosive, more powerful and easier to- set off than dynamite. Thousands of people have been burned to death' or blown into bits by handling it carelessly. Gaso line evaporates very rapidly, and a small dish full of gasoline will fill an ordinary kitclien full of a highly ex plosive gas in a few minutes. A match, a sparlc, a fire burning In the kitchen range or a gas light is all that is need ed to complete the combustion. A wrecked house and a funeral are the usual results. W ith all possible precautions taken, dry-cleaning with gasoline is a very dangerous- process. If a housewife feels that she must do her own dry- clcanlng she should be very careful to follow these instructions: 1. Get your gasoline In a tightly- closed red can. 2. Uo the whole job out of doors at some distance from the house. 3. Take your pan out of doors be fore you put the gasoline in it. 4. Be sure that the gasoline is thor oughly dried out of the articles'clean ed before you bring them Into the house. 5. Be sure that all traces of gaso line are removed from your hands and your clothing before you enter the house again. 6. Never leave gloves on the hands to dry after cleaning. 7. Allow no one to light a match ,anywhere near where you are working or where your clothes are dryipg, 8. Allow no one wl come anywhere near ydu'ii&r'tlfre etothes you have been cleaning until altiwaces Ifjjgtf gasoline have disappeared. Make sure that everything has been removed from the pockets of gar ments to be cleaned before putting tbom into the gasoline. A match head In a pocket may do untold damage. 10. Always remember that you are fodllng with something that is as dan gerous as nitroglycerine or dynamite. —Kansas F. M. Bulletin. ^etndlftlng to FIRE WA8TE' 8AP8 RESOURCES.

V; These Facti’and Total Absence of Flre Protection Call For Greatest Care and Watchfulness on Part of Farmers. Over one-half of all fire losses is due to carelessness and easily preventable causes; on farm about three-fourths. Farm property is insured at only a small part of its value, seldom more than two-thirds, so that the losses, over and above insurance paid, are relatively larger than In cities. The loss of lives in fires is also larger in the country. These facte and the total absence oi fire protection call for the greatest care and watchfulness on the part ol the farmers. Let us consider some of these need less and preventable fire losses in the order of their importance. Lightning leads the list in number, although it has been demonstrated that a good lightning rod system, prop erly installed and well grounded, is ar. almost sure protection. Defective flues and stovepipes, stoves near wood, and over-heated stoves are responsible for the large majority of farm residence fires. Thit is also true of fires reported to us at “cause unknown,” as the additional tell-tale facts are usually given, “start ed In attic” or “started near chim ney.” Annually quite a number of lives perish In these fires, sacrificed on the altar of carelessness. Every chimney flue should have an area of not less than sixty-four inches, and should be lined throughout witb fire brick, hard burned terra cotta, oi fire-clay Iue lining. Careful inspection and prompt re pair of defective flues, and asbestos oi metal protection for all woodwork neai staves and pipes would reduce this sacrifice of lives and property to the minimum. Children playing with m atches are responsible each year for quite a num ber of these fires, and the sacrifice of several young lives, although matcher could and should be kept from chil dren. Smokers’ carelessness is responsible for many of these fires, and will con tinue Jto be until farm ers and their help ./refrain from smoking in aigi around barns and near grain, hay and strawbacks. Mrs. O’Leary’s cow is about the only critter that has moved from Chicago onto the farm, and she is up to her old tricks, kicking over the lantern, which, of course, could have been safe ly hung up. Quite a number of fires are due to engines stationed too near stacks and buildings. £ ^ Carelessnes^/with gasoline calls for its toll of lives and property; so does kerosene used' In starting and quicken ing a fire. Just a few prevention suggestions: Because of the absence of all fire protection, fireproof construction ol farm buildings, especially residences, Is of prime importance. Farmers are not limited to a small building site, and it is folly to place the buildings. so close together that fire in one of them can make a dean sweep. . The time is coming when- the sub stantial- farm er will plan for an ado quate Water supply for domeestlc usr and for fire protection. AU, surely, can afford a ladder to reach the roofs, eome fire backets and-a few ohemica! flro extinguishers, which can be bought-for a few dollars. Locking doors at night will keep out the' tramp and his dangerous pipe. The automobile should-be housed In’ ,a'-aeperate^siied'«o also’ shoig|-;gaBO” lin e ,."’ Most important' of Ml,-however, is eternal care and watchfulness.—T: M Purtell, State Fire Marshall, Missouri. 1. THE USE OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS—HISTORY. The First of a Series of Si* Articles. . W e would not be disposed to try to give a complete histor^ of the use commercial fertilizers, but only to show how Uus great f thlQ grew in the.Southern United States. Generally speaking, the lar^ ers feneration Inherited the habit of applying fertilizers rto soils, b been taught the underlying principles of the industry. __ The use of some kind of manures on soils with crops for Uie creasing the yields goes back to ancient times. We know that uJaay people applied animal manures to their soils for this purpose. T h e L , centuries ago, applied manures of various kinds to their soils and 8*™ with phenomenal results. In Von Tshadi’s Travels in Peru we find early as the middle of the last century notes were being token on the actual V alueofG uanobythe-Peruvians. Bousingault speaks of seeing fields in Peru on which w heat grew ry year for two centuries, and the yield still high and the growers prosperous. The practice of using mineral fertilizers was introduced direct from e- ru to the United States in the year 1846, and was based on such reports as we find above. It had already been used in England before it found its way into the United States, bui Peru seems to be the country ta which the application of m inerals to soils as plant food originated. W e do not know this is true, but all evidence points to this. It is of greater interest to us therefore that we know about-the customs in Peru. The First Uie of Feruvian Guano. The first man ta the Southern States to use this Peruvian guano was David Dickson, of Sparta, Ga., who saw an advertisement of it in the old Ameri can Farm er published in Baltimore. The South has perhaps never had a more successful farm er than David Dixon, who made many millions of dollars farming, and who was a pioneer In many other lines as well as in the use of mineral fertilizers. In the year 1846, the year after it was intro duced into the United States, ho bought three sacks and used it, and on find ing that it paid him, bought it In increasing quantities till the year 1855 and 1856, when he “went into it tally.” A l is suggested above this is no doubt the first instance of the use of a concentrated m ineral fertilizer on cotton in the United States. The .universal success with which Mr. Dickson m et in the use of this Pe ruvian guano led many other prominent farmers to follow his example, and in every reported case, success followed its use. W e are constrained to believe that the application of this m ineral fertilizer to the cotton and other crops in the South could not possibly have been an acci dent. Its success was unquestionably based on the actual needs of-the soil. A quickly available manure was what the crop needed, and when this was once applied results were evident After a tim e it was found that the Peruvian guano, which contained prin cipally nitrogen, produced too much stalk and not much increase in the yield of fruit, and hence its use was somewhat discouraged for a season. The First Use of German Poteih. About this tim e the war between the States, began, and at the same time the discovery of the potash beds of Germany, also, the offering on the m arket of ,various kinds of mineral fertilizers resulting from the teach ings of Von Liebig of Germany, who was at that tim e the greatest cham pion in the world of agriculture and its possibilities. As a result the pop ularity of Peruvian guano subsided and more study was given to the gen eral question of the use ol mineral manures, both by farm ers themselves and the students of agricultures Two great contributing factors to the rise of the fertilizer trade in the South are first the abolition of slavery, and second, the rise of agricul tural education. Before the war the question of land was secondary. It growing farm crops in the South “wore the land out,” th.ere were plenty of slaves to “take in more land.” It was cheaper to take In land than to pay for any artificial manure. In 1862, the Morrill Bill passed Congress, creating agricultural colleges In the various states, after which there be gan a campaign for improving yuethods In agriculture. Experiments at public expense were begun on a small scale, and the public was induced to make greater use of plant foods of all kinds, as well as to improve methods of tillage. This, of course, caused an immediate increase in the use of min eral plant foods, and out of which grew detqands for great quantities of fertilizers. From this great demand there sprang up fertilizer factories in all parts of the country. AU kinds of m aterials were tried out, some was good, and some was not, but much of both kinds used. The factories had no restrictions and many of them palmed off on the farm ers anything that would smell strong and that coulcf be put in sacks. This condition on ac count of state laws did not last long. We begin the next article by giving a resume of the part token in the rise of the trade by the states themselves Uses and Abuses of Fertilizers By Prof. R. J. H. De Loach, Director of Georgia Experiment Station. INTELLIGENT USE OF FERTILIZERS IN GERMANY. The Second of a Series of Six Articles. AU state institutions have fostered the fertilizer trade since its origin in the early fifties. State organisations of all lrinds have taken a lively part in the building up of the trade, and in later years the states have taken it for granted that the trade is profitable to farm ers and m erchants alike, and have therefore framed laws to .regulate its m anufacture and sale. In every state where fertilizer is sold In appreciable quantities laws have been passed exacting certain requirements of the m anufacturer, as to analyses, grades, etc. Besides the trade, over-ambitious, might^forget its obligation to the consumer and offer for sale inferior m aterial under the name of fer tilizers. We may say without tear of successful contradiction that the states themselves are largely responsible for the rise and volume of the fertilizer trade. It has long been recognized that Germany leads the world in many lines of science. This is perhaps true In regard to the use of fertiUzers in early years. Germany discovered that m ineral salts applied to growing crops increased the yields immensely, and gave time and study to the under lying causes, and has suggested to the other parts of the world m any valu able lessons on her findings. Vcn Liebig, through his. studies and lec tures on modem agriculture, has made known m uch of the work of Germany in the early history of the use of commercial fertilizers. Liebig says that Kuhlman, a German agricultural scientist, applied salammoniac to a meadow in the years 1845 and 1846, and found that on a hectare (2% acres) he gath ered 8,140 pounds of hay more than on tbs same kind of meadow where he did not use the salammoniac. H e secured this result by using about 200 pounds of salammoniac to the acre. In commenting upon this Vom UeM g has the following to say: “It is quite certain, that in the actionoC the guano, which produced the crop next highest after the Chili saltpeter, am unmistakable part was played by the ammonia contained' in it. On the other hand, however, the experiments with carbonate and nitrate of ammonia show that a quantity of ammonia -or nitrogen, equivalent to that In 20 pounds of gilano and employed under the same conditions,, was almost without affect.’’ Fertilizer Experimentl In Germany. A Uttle further along he says: “The most recent observations on the comportment of the soil towards the. food of plants show hofe slight is the knowledge we possess of their mode of nourishment, and of the part which the soil, by its physical condition, plays In i t The comportment of the f, 0L T mo1nlaV of chIoride of BOdium’ “ d of jritrate of soda, towards the earthly phosphates in the soil, may perhaps assist us in throwing some Ught on their action, or one of their actions, on tan. growth of Dlantn * This statem ent was made because it was Mways f o u ^ i ^ t when common salt was added to certain mineral manures, greater yield was obtaineri T d P ebig cwne to the conclusion that this was’ due to the relation of this added m aterial to the liberation of potash In tflfesoils. relatIon oI Only a short tim e after the war between the states the German not ash beds were discovered and by rapid leaps and bounds this m ate rS ta favor with planters as weU aa experimenters.
