Mr. Morrii Discusses Salaries and Par­ l i e s -Thiuks Money Is Waited. While at the washtub why not wash another piece of soiled linen? Would Mr. Morris tell The Record readers why it is necessary to pay our county superintendent of pub­ lic instruction just about eight times as much as Prof. Hodges received when he held the same position during the years that T. B. Bailey was County Attorney? We imag­ ine the taxpayers would like to know.—Davie Record. The above comment on an article written by me some time ago on the county officers salary bill is an in vitation for another “washing” and I gladly undertake the job, altho I am not a “washerman.” \I think the people of Davie county know my position on such questions, but there is nothing likekpeping before the people questions affecting their taxes, and there is no better time to put them to thinking along pro­ per lines, for if all signs do not fail the people are soon to realize the immensity of taxes that will be ne. cessary to meet the requirements of the laws passed by the last legisla­ ture. The interest on the fifty mil­ lion dollar road bill alone will a- monnt to three million dollars a year, and to build the 5,500 miles of hard surface roads co.itemplated will require not less than $150,000,- 000. This is a digression from the “washing job,” so here goes. The editor of The Record might have relieved me of this job, for he is presumed to be an outlook on the tower, prepared at all times to sound a warning, and champion not only the rights of the people, but look out for everything thdt vitally affects their good or imperils their rights and welfare. A newspaper to be of niueh real service to the people who support it with their patronage, should stand between them and the special interests that are continually exploiting them, (and who are abundantly able to take care of themselves.) I have written several articles in recent years, in which I took the position that more of the people’s - money— taxes—was being wasted on schools and roads than any other two things therefore we should try and see where these waste places are, and stop them if within our power. As a Republican, I naturally am anx­ ious that the Republican party, not only of the State, (if. ever again en­ trusted with power), but of - Davie county, should manage its. finances (the spending of the people’s mon­ ey) so that they would meet the wants and wishes of the people. Looking after the offices and the; interests of. the officeholders to :see how much money can be taken from the people’s pocket and trans­ ferred to the pockets of. the office­ holders is no part of the duty of the servants of the people. The files of The Record under my editorship and ownership will' disclose how firmly I stood by and championed the cause of the people, how strong Iy I condemned and censured the Past Democratic administration ai d Jts extravagance; and it would be '■!consistent and censurable.for me to turn round and uphold the party now in control of our county af­ fairs if equalling or surpassing, the extravagance of the Democrats. I am going to say without the least hesitancy, that IfthSfek the' Board' of. Education of ,‘this, county are Paying the County Superintendent: entirely too much qiit of the school- fujids for the time||:given (to the worL- $2,400 per “annunT should Eet a man who would devote six days in every week all‘ the year round to the work, . and if our schools are properly looked after it would require the superintendent to visit every school in the county as often as possible. The office of County Superintendent should te "o sinecure, but an active hard­ working man, devoted to the up­ building of the schools, and an as ­ sistant to the teachers, he should see that they are doing good and faithful work, and that they are complying with all the require­ ments of the laws of the State, this he cannot do and spend his time at home and in the office; I can see.no way for him to earn $200 per month spending most of his time in Mocks- ville. In 1910 I wrote a series of articles for the Greensboro News in which I showed that more tlfan 50 cents out of each dollar of school funds was spent for something else outside the teachers salaries; in other words, the teachers in North Carolina were not getting half of the money being raised by our taxes. This showed to my mind clearly’ that there was. something radically wrong in our school sys­ tem- No friend of mine in either party believes that I stand for what I honestly believe is wrong in eith­ er party. I purpose for the balance of my life to stand squarely and firmly for wl;at I conceive to be the right, and for the best interests of the people and taxpayers, and if the Republican party in Davie coun­ ty is going tp do as bad or worse than the Democrats, I cannot see how or why I should uphold them in it. Iam asking for no office, but as a taxpayer and a good citi­ zen (which I am trying to be), I shall wear no man’s collar, neither shall I stand in with or support: a crowd who are attempting to deny me the right of free speech and drive me from the councils of my party. Principles are above party, and.no man can be- a freeman and a good citizen who wears the party collar at the price of his honest sentiments, to follow the leadership of an officeholding oligarchy, to seek the favor and support of bad and corrupt man, thereby stifling his conscience and selling his birth­ right for a mess of pottage, and then after getting the mess of pot­ tage to run to the legislature every two years to have the mess increas­ ed at the public expense does not appeal to me. We know the re­ cord of the Democratic party in North Carolina, extravaganae, cre­ ating offices, increasing salaries all at the expense of the taxpayers and at a tiine when everything the farmers have to sell is on the de­ cline, and to have the Republicans aiding and standing by the waste of the people’s money, does not strike me as a ,thing to be proud of, or to cause us to throw up our hats and yell for pie eaters—as for me I will not do it. The fact that a; De­ mocratic legislature refused to so amend the election law that it would safeguard the rights of the people was enough for me, and-1 refuse to join them in exploiting the taxpay­ ers. Thissiuofomissionisenough and sufficient to cause their defeat at the next election, and I had hop­ ed that the record made by a Re­ publican minority would be such that it would at least give us a chance to make an appeal- to the people, with the assurance that we could point to our record with some hope of sucaess. The people must think that they are to be benefitted by a change, or you cannot expect them to.vote for it; the Republican party has got to make the people know and believe that they will give us better laws, better condit­ ions and better service, better en­ forcement of the laws for the same or less money, or they-cannot reas­ onably expect to be entrusted with the offices in the State. I criticise the Republicans because I want them to do right. I. want to co-op­ erate with them to bring about a change, not just tor the benefit of the officeholders, but in the inter­ est of the people* the taxpayers. Tf the principles- of the Republican party and the character and quali­ fications of the men v/hbm we elect to office are not as good or better than those of the Democratic party how can we expect the honest citi­ zenship of the State to entrust us with the offices? One thing 'more I will say before I close. I regard the county welfare officer as one of the most important officers in the county. Hecomesin c'os: touch with, the people all over the . ounty and I would suggest to the county commissioners and the board of ed­ ucation that he be paid a salary sufficient to justify him in giving all his time to the work, and then stand by him and uphold < him in the faithful discharge of his duties. I desire to study the work he is re­ quired ;o do, and then write an ar­ ticle showing the importance of the office and the great good that can be accomplished by him if properly paid, encouraged and supported. The board of education would have- done more for the good of tie schools and the welfare of. the en­ tire people of the county generally, had they given him more and the superintendent less. I shall con­ tinue to have thoughts, and I hope sufficient courage and backbone to speak out in behalf of .what I con­ ceive to be best for all the people. W eaielivingin a time of great stress and uncertainty, and I rea­ lize that the great majority are liv­ ing as they did prior to the great flood when only Noah and his im­ mediate family were saved; how soon the clouds which now en­ shroud us may turn loose some great calamity we know not. An­ cient history , tells us that Nero fid­ dled while Rome was burning, and tpda^^totsky.^^andsLenine the-.Soi , viet autocrats are ruling the Rtis. sian peasants with a rod of iron, while ruin,-' starvation and death are exterminating the Russian peo­ ple- Are we not headed for the breakers and some unknown catas­ trophe unless we put on the brakes and heed the lessons taught by the past history Of the world? Can the rights and best interests of the peo­ ple continue to be ignored and trampled upon by the few without bringing in its wake a repetition of the past? It’s a time for serious thought, and a united and unselfish action if we are to avert some of the dire calamities'that threaten us as a people. I am not trimming my sails to catch the passing breez­ es, nor am I asking for the spoils of office, but fearlessly and honest­ ly expressing my thoughts regard­ less of the opinions of anybody or any party. It’s nice to be an opt! mist when there is Uo danger or troubles ahead, but if • it is pessi mlstic to sound a warning and avert the dangers we see threatening the future makes for the common good and helps, to make tins old world a better place to. live in, then a iittle pessimism is worth while. Tkink as we may, .see things as we do, does not blot out the pages of past history, n*r does it give to every cloud a silvery lining. Those ..who realize that the journey through life is beset with unseen dangers and untold hardships are bekt pre­ pared to meet them and • reach the' goal with success and leave behind them “footprints upon the sands of time.” As we-float down the stream of life often unmindful and in ignorance of unknown and un­ seen dangers, the friend who has passdd*the^e: dangers and knows where they lie is our friend.indeed who gives us the signal and warns us in time-tb,save our little boat from the-destruction ‘ he knows is just ahead. As I see it, the great majority of our. people are not thinking Of the future or what is 'aheadof us, but are living in- and for the . present, worshiping the golden calfeahd losing sight of the best things t||at make life really worth liyii^^atisfying ohr wants regardless mwilhether these wants are for our real and best good,- is the.Jjidden rock upon which many a frail bark will dash to destruc­ tion. -'Life is real, life is earnest,” and a go od name and character are to be thofe desired than great rich- es-sj Th'effirst lives forever, and the IatterVperisheth in a day. In con­ clusion,Any answer to the question aboVe propounded by'the editor of The Record is that it seems to be a fact-that both parties are bent on getting all the pickings possible while the picking is good, and our Demqcratic friends have been so long seperated from the trough in Davie county with only one little office in 'their reach, are taking.ad- vatitage'pf Republican officehold­ ers example and have gpne and played tneir game. It is none the less reprehensible. I believe the great .Frenchmaa TalIyrand once said, ‘'Government is the science of pliihking the greatest quantity of feathers from the goose, with the least amount of squawking.” This .!definition implies that the people, the taxpayers, are geese, and T fometimes think he had good reasons'to so class them, for when we realize how quietly the people submit to the officeholding oligar­ chy, it looks like they might be related to the “goose family,” but times have chauged and the old goose has lost so many of her fea­ thers-that I am constrained to be ­ lieve that she is resolved to put up a game fight against the exploiters; she iS going to do more than “squawk” in the future, or she will Iosa the . last feather to- the “Pie'Brigade.” L v - (I ’E. H. MORRIS. Tribute; — (Lawrence Democrat) Below we are printing Senator Vest’s eloquent tribute to the dog We have printed it before, but it is not out of place to do so again at this time when the dog law agitation is rife. It expresses fully the senti­ ments of the editor, as well as those of our good friend, Esq. W. C. Van­ diver who handed us a copy for publi cation. “Gentlmen of the jury: The best, friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his en­ emy. His son or daughter, that he has reared with loving care, may prove ungrateful. Those who are near and dear to us, those whom we trust with our good name, may be come- traitors to their faith. The money that a man has he may lose It flies away from him perhaps when heeds it mosts. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill considered action, The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when succession is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malic when failure settles a cloud upon our heads. The one absolute unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacher­ ous, is his dog. A man’s dog-stands by him in prosperity and proverty. in health and in- sicknesss. He will sleep on the cold ground when the wintery Wind blows and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to' offer, he will like the wounds and sore that come in encounter with the rough­ ness of the world. He guards the. the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince, When all other friends desert he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces he is as constant in his love as the sun in his: journey through heaven. Iffortunedrivesthemaster forth, an outcast m the world, friend­ less and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him. to guard against danger, to fight against bis enemies. And when the last scene of all comes and death takes the master in its em­ brace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by the grave-sjde will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws his eyes sad, but open in alert watch­ fulness, faithful unto death.” ’t.

A FALSE IMPRESSION CREATED Conditions In Mexico Much Improved Over Those That Prevailed Dup­ ing the Regime of Carranza. Washington.—AU the various influ­ ences which managed to keep the re­ lations between the Wilson adminis­ tration and Mexico In an atmosphere of controversy, mutual suspicion pro­ paganda and selfishness, interfering with the efforts of the two govern­ ments to get together,' are at work again, trying this time to prevent the Harding administration from reaching an understandig with the Obregon government. „ It is true that the conditions laid down by Secretary Colby as a step to­ ward recognition are In the main what the new administration wants to see accepted. If the two governments, however, were the only factors in the situation the solution'might be work­ ed out amicably. But certain Ameri­ can interests impatient to force the hand of both Washington and Mexico City are determined to-show General Obregon that unless he comes into line the same process of disintegra­ tion will set in as managed to weaken the Carranza government. Notwith­ standing the fact that conditions In Mexico are greatly improved over what they were during the Carranza regime and are closer to the status of things in 1910. than they have been since Diaz, held power, the impres­ sion sought .to be created is that Mex­ ico is back in. the'same stages of an­ archy as she was four or five yeart ago. - -PENDULUM OF PRICE READJUST- MENT SWUNG TOO FAR AND TOO VIOLENTLY. DOLLARS : MOST BE EIjOALIZEB Farm ers Must Be Paid an Approxi­ mate' Increase of 70 Per Cent for the Product of Their Toil. Washington.—Food prices must rise again—and rise soon—before the com­ ing of real prosperity. All the farmer raises is sold for too little; he is re­ ceiving fifty to sixty cent dollars for what he sells and paying 100-cent dol­ lars for what he buys. The pendu­ lum of price readjustment has swung too violentij5 and too far in his direc­ tion. One of two'things must happen, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace be­ lieves, before the country can be truly prosperous. As he sees the dilemma, the horns are described thus: I. Farm products—and this means all foodstuffs—must rise approximate­ ly 70 per cent in wholesale prices to Uie farmer; or— . I. The retail price of everything else must drop still further until the buyer’s dollar and the farmer’s dol­ lar are worth exactly the same amount Present prospects are that both movements will be noticeable within a short time. Increased prices of food­ stuffs will be brought about to some extent it is believed, by the enact­ ment of a tariff sufficiently high to prevent the dumping into American markets of farm products raised abroad., these products at present be­ ing sold at prices lower than the cost of producing the commodities on American farms. .

PROLOGUE In the month of December, 1918, and on the very day that a British cavalry division marched into Cologne, with flags flying and bands playing as the conquerors of a beaten nation, the manager of the Hotel Nationale in Berne received a letter. Its con­ tents appeared to puzzle him some­ what, for having read it twice he rang the bell on his desk to summon his secretary. Almost immediately ti;e door opened, and a young French girl came into the room. “Monsieur rang?” “Have we ever had staying in the hotel a man called Ie Comte de Guy?” He leaned back in his chair and looked at her through his pince-nez. The secretary thought for a mo­ ment and then shook Iier head. “Not as far as I can remember,” she said. “Do we know anything about him? Has he ever fed here, or' taken a pri­ vate room?" “Not that I know of.” The manager handed her the letter, and waited in silence until she had read it. “It seems on the face of it a pecu­ liar request from an unknown man,” he remarked as she laid it down. ' “A dinner of four covers; no expense to be spared. IVine.-? specified and if not in hotel to be obtained. A private room at half-past seven sharp. Guests to ask for room X.” The secretary nodded in agreement. “It can hardly be a hoax,” she re­ marked after a short silence. "No.” The manager tapped his teeth with his pen thoughtfully. “But if by any chance it was, it would prove an expensive one for us. I wisii I could think who this Comte de Guy is.” He took off his pince-nez and laid them on the desk in front of him. “Send the iuaitre d’liotel to me at once.” Whatever may have been the man­ ager’s misgivings, they were certainly not-.shared by the head waiter as he left the office after receiving bis in­ structions. War and short rations had not been conducive to any partic­ ularly lucrative business in his sphere; and the whole sound of the proposed entertainment seemed to him ■to contain considerable promise. And so at about twenty minutes past seven the maitre d’hotel was hovering around the hali-porter. the manager was hovering round the maitre d’hotel, and the secretary Was . hovering around both. At five-and- twenty minutes past the. first guest arrived. . . . He was a peculiar-looking man, in a big fur coat, reminding one irre­ sistibly of a codfish. “I wish to be taken to Room X.” The French secretary stiffened invol­ untarily as the maitre d hotel stepped obsequiously forward. Cosmopolitan as the hotel was. even now she could never hear German spoken without an inward shudder of digust. “A Boche.” she murmured in disgust. Almost immediately afterward the second and third members of the par­ ty arrived. They did not come togeth­ er,, and what seemed peculiar to the manager was that they were evidently strangers to one another. The leading one—a tall gaunt man - with a ragged beard and a pair of piercing eyes—asked in a nasal and by- no means an inaudible tone for Room X. 'As he spoke a little fat.man who was standing just behind him started perceptibly, and shot a birdlike glance at the speaker. Then in execrable French he too asked for Room X. “He’s not French,” said* the secre­ tary excitedly IoxIhe manager. “That last one was another Boche.” The manager thoughtfully twirled Ids pnire n- z. between his fingers “Two Hermans and an American.” He 'nis i -' - Iirtle apprehensive. “Let us hope the dinner will appease every­ body. Otherwise——” But whatever fears he might have entertained with regard to the furni­ ture in Room X, they were not des­ tined to he uttered; Even as he spoke the door again swung open, and a man with a thick white scarf around his neck, so pulled up as almost com-' pletely to cover his face, came in. All that the manager could swear to as regards the newcomer’s appearance was a pair of deep-set, steel-gray eyes which seemed to bore through him. “You got my letter this morning?” “M’sieur Ie Comte d,e Guy?” The manager bowed deferentially and rubbed his hands together. “Every­ thing is ready, and three guests have arrived." “Good. I wili go to the room at once.” As he followed his guide his eyes swept round the lounge. Save for two or three elderly women of doubtful nationality, and a man in the Ameri­ can Red Cross, the place was desert­ ed; and as he passed through the swing doors he turned to the head waiter. “Business good?” he asked. No—business decidedly was not good. The waiter was voluble. Busi­ ness had never been so poor in the memory of man. '. .' JBut it was to be hoped that the dinner would be to Monsieur Ie Comte’s iiking. . . . Also the wines. “If everything is to- my satisfaction you will, not ^regret it,” said the count tersely. “But remember one tiling. After the coffee has been brought in, I do not wish to be disturbed under any a “M’sieur Ie Comte de Guy?” circumstances whatever.” The ■ head waiter paused as he came to a door, and the count repeated the last few words. “Under no . circumstances whatever.” . “Mais certainement Monsieur Ie Comte. . ; . I, personally will see to it . . .” As he spoke he flung open the door and the. count entered. It cannot be said that the atmosphere of the room was congenial. -The three occupants were regarding one another in hostile silence, nnd as the count entered they, -with one accord, transferred their sus­ picious glances to him. For a moment be stood motionless, while he looked at each one in turn. Then he stepped forward. . . “Good evening; gentlemen”—lie still spoke in French—“I am honored at your presence.” He turned to the cess. Without appearing to monopo­ lize the conversation he talked cease­ lessly and brilliantly. But to even the most brilliant of conversationalists the strain of talking to a hypochondriacal American and two Germans-rone greedy and the other frightened—is considerable; and the Count heaved an Inward sigh of relief when the coffee had been handed round and the door closed behind the waiter. From now on the topic was the topic of money— the common bond of his three guests. And yet, as he carefully cut the end of his* cigar, and realized that the eyes of the otlier three, were fixed on him expectantly, he knew that the hardest part of the evening was in front of him. Big financiers, In common with ali other people, are fonder of having money put into their pockets^ than of taking it out. And that was the very tiling the Count proposed they should do—IiT large quantities. . . . “Gentlemen,” he remarked, when his cigar was going to his satisfaction, “we are "all men of business. I said before dinner that I considered we were sufficiently big to exclude any small arbitrary national distinctions from our minds. As men whose inter­ ests are international, sucli things are beneath us. I wish now to slightly qualify that remark.” He turned to the American on his right, who with eyes half closed was thoughtfully pick­ ing his teeth. “At this stage, I ad­ dress myself particularly to you.” VGo right ahead,” drawled Mr. Hock­ ing. “I do not wish to touch on the war— or its result; but though the Central Powers have been beaten by America and France and Englanjl, I think I can speak for you two gentlemen”—he bowed to the two Germans—“when I say that it is neither France nor Amer­ ica with whom they desire another round. England is Germnny’s maifl enemy; she always has been, she al­ ways will be. I have reason to be­ lieve, Mr. Hocking, that you personally do not love the English?” “I guess I donlt see what my private . feelings have to do with it. . But if it’s of any interest to the company you are correct In your belief.” “Good.” The Count nodded his head as if satisfied. “I take it then that you would not be averse to seeing England down and out.” “Wal,” remarked the American, “you can assume anything you feel like. Let’s go to the sliow-down.” ..Once again the Count nodded his head; then he turned to the two Ger­ mans. “Now you two gentlemen must ad­ mit that your plans have miscarried somewhat. It was-no part of your or­ iginal programme that .a British army should occupy Cologne. ...” “The war was the act of a fool,” snarled Herr Stelnemann. “In a few years more of peace, we should have beaten those swine. . . .” “And now—they have beaten you.” The Count smiled slightly. “Let us admit that the war was the act of a fool, if you like, but as men of busi­ ness we can only deal with the result, performance is now over. The last I ’ ’ ’ The resnIt' gentlemen, as it thing I wish to do is to discuss the Tconcems ™ BoHl Jou gentlemen are war—except in so far as it concerns. our meeting here tonight. Mr. Hosk- ing is an American, you two gentlemen are. Germans. I”—the ,Count smiled slightly—“have no nationality. Or rather, shall I say, I have every na­ tionality. Completely cosmopolitan. . . . Gentlemen, the war was waged by Idiots, and when idiots get busy on a' large scale, it is time for clever men to step In. . . . That is the raison d’­ etre for this little dinner . . . I claim that we four men are sufficiently international to be able to disregard any stupid and petty feelings about this country and that, country, and to regai-d the world outlook at the present moment from one point of view and one point of view only—our own.” The gaunt American gave a hoarse chuckle. ' • - , “It will be my object sifter dinner,” continued the Count, “to try and prove to you' that we have a common point of .view. Until then—shall we merely concentrate on a pious hope that'the Hotel Nationale will not poison us with their food?” The next moment the head waiter opened the door, and the four men sat down to dine. It must be admitted that tliewiverage hostess, desirous of making a dinner a success, would have been filled with secret dismay at the general atmos­ phere In the room. The American, in accumulating his millions, had also accumulated a digestion of such an ex­ otic and: tender character that dry rusks and Vichy water were the limit of Jifs capacity. Herr Steinemann was of the common order of - German, to whom food is sacred. He ate and drank enormously and evidently considered that nothing further was required of him. Von Gratz. did his best to keep his end up, but as he was apparently In a chronic condition of fear that the gaunt American would assault him with violence, he cannot be said to have contributed much to the gaiety of the meal. And so to the jost must be given the credit that the dinner was a suc- head waiter. • “Let dinner be served in five minutes exactly.” With a bow the man left the room, and the door closed. “During .that five minutes, .gentle­ men, I propose to introduce myself to you, and you to one another. The business which I wish to discuss we will postpone, with your permission, till after the coffee, when we shall be undisturbed.” ■. In silence the three guests waited until he unwound the thick white muf­ fler ; then, with undisguised curiosity, they studied their host. - In appearance he was striking. He had a short dark beard, and in profile his face was aqui­ line and stem. The eyes, which had impressed the manager, seemed now to be a cold grey-blue; tlie tbick^ brown hair, flecked slightly with greyT was brushed back from a broad ■ fore­ head. To even the most superficial, ob­ server the giver of the.feast was a man of power; a man capable of form­ ing Instant decisions and of carrying them through. .... And if so much was obvious to the superficial observer, it was more than obvious to the three men who stood by the fire watching him. Each one of them, as he watched the host, realized that he was In the presence of a great man. It-was enough: great men do not send fool invitations to dinner to men of international repute. . It mat­ tered, not what form his greatness took ■there was money in greatness, big money. And money was their life. Tlie count advanced first to the Am­ erican. “Mr. Hocking, I believe,” he. re­ marked In English, holding out his hand. “I am glad you managed to come.”' Tlie American shook the proffered hand, while the two Germans looked at him with sudden interest. As the man at the head of the great American cot­ ton trust, worth more in millions than he could count, he was entitled to their respect. . . . “That’s me, Count,” returned the mil­ lionaire in his nasal twang. “I am in­ terested to know to what I ain indebt­ ed for this invitation.” “All ,in good time, Mr. Hocking.” smiled the host. “I have hopes that the dinner will fill in that time satis­ factorily.” He turned to the taller of the two Germans, who without his coat seemed more like a codfish than ever. “Herr Stelnemann, is it not?” Tliis time he spoke in German. The man whose interest in German coal was hardly less well known than Hocking’s in cotton, bowed stiffly. “And Herr Von Gratz?” Tlie Count turned to the last member of the par­ ty and shook hands. Though less well known than either of the other two in the realms" of international finance, von Gratz’s name in the steel trade of Cen­ tral Europe was one to conjure with.- “Well, gentlemen,” said tlie-.Count, “before we sit "down to dinner, I may perhaps be permitted to say a few words of introduction. The nations, of the world have recently been en­ gaged in a performance of unrivaled stupidity. As far as one can tell that sufficiently patriotic to resent the pres­ ence of that army at Cologne, I have no doubt. And you, Mr. Hocking, have no love on personal grounds for the English. . . . But I am not propos­ ing to appeal to financiers of your rep­ utation on such grounds as those to support my scheme. . . . It is enough that your personal predilec­ tions run wifh and not against what I am about to. put before you—the de­ feat of England . . . a defeat more utter and complete than if she had lost the war. ...” His voice sank a little, and instinct­ ively his three listeners drew closer. “Don’t think I am proposing this through motives of revenge merely. We are business men, and revenge is only worth our while if it pays. This will pay. There Is a force in England which, if it can be harnessed and led properly, will result .in millions coming to you. -. . . It is present now In every nation—fettered,' inarticulate, un-co-ordinated. .... It is partly Uie result of the war—the war that the idiots have waged? . . . . - Harness that force, gentlemen, cO-ordinate it, and use it for your own ends; . That is my proposal. . Not only will you humble that cursed country to the dirt, but you will taste of power such as few men have tasted before, . . .” The Count stood up, his eyes blazing. “And I - I will do it for you ” He resumed his seat, and his left hand, slipping off the table* beat a tattoo on his knee. . . “This Is our opportunity—the oppor- tunity of clever men- I have not got the money necessary: yon have.” . He leaned forward in his chair, and glanced at the intent faces of-his au­ dience, Then he began to speak. . Ten minutes later he -pushed back his chair.. —■ “There is my proposal, gentlemen, in a nutshell. Unforeseen develop­ ments will - doubtless occur ; I have" spent my life overcoming the: unexpect- Wliat is your answer?”ed. He rose and stood with his back to thepi by the fire, nnd for several minutes no one spoke.* Each man was busy with hi' *v-u thoughts, and showed it In his own particular way. Comte de Guy stared ,unconcernedly at the fire, as if indifferent to the result of their thoughts. In his attitude at that moment he gave a true expression, to "his attitude on life. Accustomed to play with great stakes, he had just dealt the cards for the most gigantic gamble of his life. . . . What matter to the three men, who were looking at the hands he had given them, that only a master criminal could have ^con­ ceived such a game? The only ques­ tion which occupied their minds was whetherhecould carry it’ through. And on that point they had only their judgment of his.personality to rely on. Suddenly the American removed the toothpick - from his. mouth and stretched out his legs. “There is a question which occurs to me, Count, before I make up my mind on the matter. Are you disposed to be a little more communicative about ■yourself? If. we agree to come in on “I Will Return in Ten Minutes. By That Time You Will Have Decided One Way or the Other.” this hand, it’s going to cost big money. The handling of that moneyis with you. Wal—who are you?” Yon Gratz nodded his head in agree­ ment. Stelnemann raised his eyes to the Count’s .face as he turned - and faced them. . . . “A very fair question, gentlemen, and yet one which I regret I am unable to answer. I would not insult your in­ telligence by giving you the fictitious address of—a fictitious Count Enough that I am a man whose livelihood lie's in other people’s pockets. As you say, Mr. Hocking, it is going to cost big money;. but'compared to the results the costs will be-Ti flea-bite. You will have to trust me, even as I shall hav'e to trust you.... You will have to trust me not to divert the money which you give me as working expenses into my own pocket. . . . I shall have to trust you to pay me when the job is fin­ ished. . . ." “And that payment will be—how much?” Steinemann’s gutturpl voice broke the silence. “One million pounds sterling—to be split up between you in any proportion you may decide, and to be paid-within one month of .completion of my work. After that the matter will pass into your hands.... and may you leave that cursed. country groveling in Ihe dir­ ty . . . ” His eyes glowed with a fierce, vindictive fury; and then, as if replac­ ing a mask which had slipped for a moment, the Count was- once again the suave, courteous host He -bad stated his terms frankly.and without haggling: stated them as one big man states'them to another of the same kid­ ney, to whom time is money and inde­ cision or beating about the bush ana­ thema; _ ■ " “Perhaps; Count, you would be good enough to leave us for a few minutes.” Von Gratz was speaking. “The deci­ sion is a big one, and V . .” ' “Why, certainly, gentlemen.” ,The Count moved toward the door. “I will return Ir ten minutes. By that time you will have decided^—one way or the other.” '• E n te r B vll-D og D rum m ond and Phyllis B enton. (TO BE CONTINUED.) - Dream ■ Has Various Meanings.

The ,inscription on the alumi- nunr band worn by this bird is as Jrnm U 0day aS it wben received from the maker, notwithstanding tire six years of rough treatment under all weather conditions. One of the most astounding details of bird life brought out by banding has to do with the domestic relations of jenny Wren and her songful husband. Wren Is Fickle. Wrens habitually raise two large families in rapid sequence each sea­ son, and .in these circumstances it vyould naturally be thought the head of the establishment would give his uninterrupted attention to his house­ hold. Not so, however, with an Ohio house wren, who, the moment his first batch of offspring was on the wing, ruthlessly abandoned his little brown wife and, moving off less than a hun­ dred yards, reared h's second family with a newly found mate.

Musician -Claim s Remarkable Results From Music in Arousing Patients From Mental Stupor. Chicago, March 19.—The Ilalian woman sat huddled in the comer, her thin shoulders shaking, the color came to her bleached skin. She worked her fingers over her face, over, the walls; she tore frantically at her fingers with her teeth. The intermez­ zo of “Cavalleria Rusticana” ended. The woman kneeling in the comer, Adeline M., sagged down. A nurse leaned over her and remarked: “She says: ‘Oh, my baby! Baby ,needs a mother. When am I going home?’ Say, you know, that’s the first time she’s spoken since they brought her Here. She refused to nurse her baby.” Moissaye Boguslawskl, Russian pian­ ist, who is now living in Chicago, fin­ gered through the “Miserere” from “II Trovatore.” Shudders crept over the Italian woman in the corner and she wept The tears sped- down her Actress Collects Shoes for Poor - E rJATrHEJiwiTS FEOM THE Uljgf r idlesV® -jE6J Kfl A ^ outJ JJrire the P01o oins VtrlSlPs' tC !D !!

Tries Music as Aid to Insane. It was at the state hospital for the insane In Dunning.' Surrounded by the “stuporous,” or depressed types of Insane patients, Mr. Boguslawski sat at a piano running through the emo­ tional gamut of music. A small audi­ ence of alienists watched the experi­ ment. - • < Can insanity be cured through' music? After two years of research, Mr: Boguslawski claimed remarkable results from music'on such cases.- He has been performing experiments at' the Dunning institution, it is said, for the last month. He has been hold­ ing weefily “musical clinics.” Psychiatrists and health department officials, as. well as Chicago physi­ cians, are watching the experiments at Dunning. At each “music' therapeut­ ics" test, as Mr. Boguslawskl - has named his psychiatric process, Dr. D. B. Rotman of:.the hospital staff has collected data for presentation1 to the American medical profession for dis­ cussion. ' .. “These experiments are the first of their,kind ever conducted'in the Uni­ ted States,” said Dr. Rotman. “They are highly interesting. There is a universal potency to music; it ap­ peals to the subtler' elements, of the mind. Patients long considered dull are aroused by this music to the ex­ pression of emotional. display. The effect on that Italian woman, for in- .stance,. was' overwhelming. Now we have found a response, she may be curable.”^ A Revelation, Says OfficiaL- “This is a revelation to nie,” ex­ claimed- Dr; E. A.

M O St DIRECT TODRIST RODTE Road Qangs Along This Line, Aiso Tn Georgia and South Carolina Very . Busy Grading and Filling. Raleigh. Consummation of the thoughts and ideas of the several communities in­ terested as to the desirability of a bet­ ter method of communication with the world, North and South, was achieved -when on February 23 the Soiith Hill- Henderson Bridge, was opened to trav­ el and traffic. The new bridge shortens the dis­ tance from Richmond to Raieigh be­ tween North and South, twenty miles, and from South Hill to Durham, the route is over the South Hill-Hendeiv sod bridge,’and through Henderson and Oxford. In a recent communication from one of the Ofliciafs of the American Auto­ mobile Association, the following ref­ erence was made to the new route: “We are going right ahead , with preparing new detailed strip maps showing the main route down through Richmond, South Hill, Henderson, Ra­ leigh and Pinehurst so that by next fall the procession of motor cars car­ rying tourists from the North to the Southland may be directed over the best and most-direct route. On our inspection trip through to Florida, we found that all. through South Carolina and Georgia the road gangs are very busy grading .and filling along the main lines of travel, especially along the route, or course which we expect to route our members over during the’ coming season. The State Highway Commissioners advise us that condi­ tions will be better than ever before down through the Carolines and Geor­ gia so t^at the usual difficulties will not be experienced in getting through.

Adams,.secretary of the American Cotton association, in a statement on the condition of the tex­ tile industry and a review of its status for the last 12 months. Gotton manufacturers are heartily in sympathy with the movement for reduced cotton acreage, Mr. Adams said. ■ The prosperity of the farmer depends upon the prosperity of the Cotton manufacturer, and vice versa. Telephone Hearing Comes Next. The state corporation commission cleared its calendar of gas rates cases and began preparations for hearing the petition of the Southern Bell Tele­ phone company and subsidiary com­ panies with exchanges In North Caro­ lina.

Each appears to be quite helpless without the aid of the other in', the accomplishment of a suc- .eessfin cap and it . is sometimes'one and again the other that dominates. Two such gay and versatile materials might be expected to wander into many bypaths-and; that is what they have done. The new displays reveal them- in the mimicry of .many styles In headwear, beginning-with a ribbon- trimmed, lace stocking cap and ending with caps having" wired lace brims, like" the cap at the left of the two shown in the picture. . . . ' ; ; An excellent " use Is made of rib­ bons with plcot edges' which can be caught up by the crochet; needle,, by which means the ribbons may be joined to lace insertions Ortcreaeh Other, but usually edges are Whipped together to form caps, as shoWn* In the model at the right of the two pic­ tured. In the other cap a crown of net supports rows of satin' ribbon, sawed to it along one edge and Joined to a brim Ofj lace held In place by fine wires, ' -Ribbons are making themselves useful In many directions on all kinds of apparel from head to foot of fair ladles and their .children, but -girdles remain the most important of their missions, Increasing In beauty and ingenious designing each year. Two- toned satin"" ribbons, dark on one side and" light on the cither,, inspire beauti­ ful examples: One of-these, a ribbon about five Inches wide, has two loops at each sid.e over the hips. .: These loops are six and.seven inches long and a cluster of little ribbon roses is placed at their base. Long-pointed ends are knotted a little below the waistline Iii the back. .A -Mmilar girdle of light-colored, plain satin ribbon has banging ends and: loops at each side. It 'is- made of sash ribbon and has flat, conventional flowers of ribbon set about the crushed girdle. Two-inch ribbons in the dark­ er colors, bordered with very narrow, plcot-edged. ribbons .in contrasting cplor make pretty sashes, brought about the waist and knotted at one side. Like all their companions they are bedecked with ribbon flowers In flat- applique—one at each end and a row about the waist In the Review of Blouses k \] \7 HAT we designate as sports vv skirts are not confining, their usefulness to sports wear, but have extended it to all- sorts of outdooring, including street wear. These snappy skirts require blouses that are de­ signed for the same kind of service and a demand for attractive tailored blouses has been-. answered by the appearance of . fine models in taffeta, pongee, crepe de chine and- satin.; As. nearly nil the skirts are striped or .made of plaids and cheeks) the blouses are simply designed and plain. Some of them have lingerie collars and vestees .by which means they may be always kept • fresh looking, but the smartest style requires the simplest and most casi&I designing. A blouse of exactly this-character appears at the left- of the two shown: above In a dark blue taffeta silk. ; Many of these taffeta, blouses are made In the sllp- on styfe with -necks high at the back and ihaving- a shallow .“V” . at the front. Tliey-: are: finished with pari row, plcot-edged ruffles of the sllb as in the blouse-pictured.- -Loosely ad­ justed girdles of- silk, weighted atr the ends with^ smoll -balls or "other Prna-- ments are provided for them, but Some times a . narrow, girdle, made of the material In the skirt, In worn Instead. The-,. three-quarter ■ length,; slightly-: flaring sleeve Is a -favorite, for it is cool and practical, and pongee blouses' in this .same .style-are'tibOVe criti­ cism for style and utility. * . Tlie satin blouse at the right is one of those-that .fills the same niche In the -wardrobe. It is a shade less se­ vere in style .by the introduction ofcollar, vestee and; sleeve finishings of embroidered batiste, which axe all detachable . and -may be easily, laun­ dered. The shops show many of these collar and vestee sets, and sell by the yard materials for: making them, so that blouses may be .varied with different patterns In these accessories. For wear with-handsome silk'sports skirts, fine. lingerie and georgette blouses are presented. “Sports skirts” is really a. misnomer for the smart silk affairs, which provide with tlieir corresponding blouses a~ substitute for afternoon frocks. - ■; vormcHi tr vcsnui hitojuw onjcm - Ea«y Way of .Making Dress Ruffles. -Ruffies, wide and narrow, are golnp- to be used extensively as trimqilng on the shorter wash dresses, during the coming summer.

T he . inquest party consisted of the coroner, who. w as th e doctor th at had already attended A llan ; Sergeant Urey, six jurors, selected from .th e tow nspeople; th e m anager of the bank, whose suspicions*had first been.com ' m unlcated to Grey1; T ravers, and G ap diner. In th e early m orning th e po­ licem an had ridden chit to. the ranch fo r G ardiner, b u t had m et him on his w ay to town. N ew s of the tragedy had reached him , he said, and he w as hurrying In to see if he could be of some assistance to T ravers in arrang­ ing fo r !a law yer, or In' any w ay th at m ight he practicable. Grey told him th at as y et no form al charge had been laid against T ra v ers; th a t he w as m erely held pending the . finding of the coroner’s ju ry ,'an d suggested th at if G ardiner would accom pany him to the inquest he m ight be able, not only to throw som e light on T ravers’ char­ acter, b u t also on his w hereabouts on the night of the. tragedy. T o this G ardiner readily agreed. It w as noon w hen the party reached th e A rthurs’ ranch. They sw ung into the yard am id a cloud of dust, the jingle of trappings, and the hearty ex­ change of greetings betw een A rthurs and bis acquaintances from town. G ardiner w as introduced to A rthurs, and shook hands w ithout rem oving his gauntlets. T hen th e rancher w alked over and shook hands w ith T ravers. T here w ere no' signs, of handcuffs now, find an outsider would not have known th a t the young m an's position differed from th a t of the others pres­ ent. A fter the m eal G ardiner joined them again, and the party, w hich , now in­ cluded A rthurs and H arris, proceed­ ed up th e valley to th e scene of the tragedy. It w as a great shock to H a r-. ris to find th a t the victim of A llan’s gun w as his old neighbor, Biles. H e stood for a long tim e as one dazed by the discovery, but gradually out of the confusion a horrible fear took shape' In his m ind.

Statesville Daily. The Biblical Recorder learns that the amended divorce law enacted by the last Legislature—making five years seperation ground ifor divorce —was really promoted for the bene­ fit of a particular case. The Re­ corder is informed that the benefi ciary lives at Elizabeth City. A wife wanted a divorce but couldn’t established legal cause. Her father called in a lawyer and paid hin a handsome fee to get something done. The lawyer hastened to Raleigh and got the divorce law a- mended. The Recordes’s -information is probably correct, for what i t . dis­ cribes has been the common prac­ tice in the past. One would be reasonably safe in saying that a- bout every time the divorce law has been amended • the moving cause was one or more special cases in which influential lawyers were employed to get results. A few years ago a justice of the Supreme "Court bombarded legislators with -letters in behalf of a woman who wanted a divorce aud couldn’t get it until the law was changed. He made a plea for the woman, declar­ ing it to be a petiable case and an outrage that the law tied her to an unfit man, etc., just as was doubt­ less done in the Recorder’s case. The appeal to sympathy, the will­ ingness of many lawyer, and politi­ cal influence, all help to change a general law for one particular case, regardless of the general harmful effect of the change. But what will you do about it? The Value of a Newspaper. . ' 'I"'netf&f tbok a' newspaper rInat did not pay me more than I paid for it.

He bid it off at $38 and sold if in less than a month for $100, so I made $62 det by taking that paper. My fath er told me when he was a young man he saw a notice in a paper that a school teacher was wanted in some distant county, and a little girl was sent to him and after a while she grew1 up sweet and beautiful and he marrifie her.

Mr. Las­ siter estimates that the average ctist of each bill passed by the Legislature' is $100, and that as 1,072 bills were passed at the recent session, the coats of the session was about $100,000, Ordinarly the folks back home don't think much of a member who doesn’t introduce a number of bills during the session. Thebills may be uni- important and unnecessay but if the member doesn’t appear to be doipg something, he doesn’t, count, accord­ ing to the popular veiw.

Tlse story of the Jew who said to hisson: “Isaac get money, get it honestly-if you can, hut get meney,” has too long been the guide for many people. The law makers generally have adopted the same principle and have apparently thought it necessary to pass a law. a necessary one prefer­ able, but whether necessary or not, pass a law. We so often hear some one complaining that this or that of­ ficer has done nothing, forgetting that it is far better -more commen­ dable, than to be constantly doing the wrong thing. The tendency to criticize an officer because he has done nothing is very often unjust.

The first thing to do is to keep your subscription paid in advance. When anything of importance hap­ pens in your neighborhood, write the editor and give him the facts, so he can make a good story out of it. Tell him what your school is doing. The teacher will appreciate it and be stimulated to greater effort, and teachers in other parts of the county will also appreciate it. Think a min­ ute and you will realize there are many ways in which you can help to boost your county paper and it is your civic duty to do so.—Progrds sive Farmer. Short Stops.

If you don’t believe it go out and count 'em. Don’t forget sisters, that your troubles come, back to you with in­ terest whenyou hand them to others.

A p r i l 13, THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD - - Editor. TELEPHONE Entered at the PostotBce in Mocks- ville, N. C., as Second-class Mail matter. March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - * I OO SIX MONTHS, IN ADVANCE - $ SO THREE MONTHS. IN ADVANCE $ 25 A county without good roads is like a ship without a rudder—it doesn't get anywhere. Lawyers, politicians and editors are mighty good things in their places. Sam Jones said whiskey was a good thing in its place, but that its place was in hell. When Mocksville gets her con­ crete streets and sidewalks, water and sewage and has a few first class funerals the town will take on new life and begin to grow by leaps and bounds. It has been suggested that the citizens of the town hold a conven­ tion on Saturday afternoon, April 23, at 4 o’clock for the purpose of nominating a mayor, five aldermen, school trustees and a constable. A good suggestion. The Record is opposed to one- man rule in town, county or state. The masses and not the classes should be heard. A one-man town cannot grow and become anything more than a laughing-stock for the progressive towns and cities that surround it. Governor Morrison got himself in bad with some of the Democratic brethren when he appointed Col. Aus Watts, the politician as State Tax Commissioner. Ifapolitician is required for this job the Gover­ nor has made no mistake in his ap­ pointment. The farmers whose lands have been increased from three to six times on the tax books are asking for some releif. There are but few farms in Davie county that would bring at auction' sale the amount they were assessed at one year ago. The valuation should be cut at least 33 per cent. Ten cent cotton and 6o cent corn is not like 40 cent cot­ ton and $2.50 corn. Is there a law .prohibiting the burning of papers and trash on the public square? This is a dangerous practice and makes the public square resemble a poorly kept back lot. The Record favors a mayor and board of aldermen that will stop this unsightly and dangerous prac­ tice.. Somebody is responsible for the looks of the town. We are sure that the good women, if give auth ority, would do much toward mak­ ing this town a better place in which to live. . ./ The ladies are going to vote in - the municipal election May 3rd. A ticket should be put out that wi.l appeal to all the voters. The Re­ cord favors putting two ladies on the ticket as town Commissioners and one or two ladies for school treestees. This would mean a hot­ ter and cleaner town, a better school and a general improvement in every way. The good people of the town should hold a mass convention and nominate a live, progressive set of men and women to fill the various offices.. In the death of Judge Jeter C. Pritchard, which occurred in Ashe­ ville Sunday morning, the State looses one of her most beloved citi­ zens. Judge Pritchard was 64 years of age, and was at ope time "United States Senator from North Caro­ lina. For the past 17 years he has been on the Federal Court bench. His death JS^^j^inctJoss to the State, to tf c M p s f^ lf e n a tio n and to the: Federal and State court system. The Republican party, of which he -was a true and tried friend, will miss his wise counsel and advice. He-was honored and respected by the leaders of both great parties. Many good things could be said of Judge Pritchard, but the greatest of all these is the fact that he was a sincere Christian gentleman of the highest character and did not fear facing the Great Supreme Judge of the Universe. Snow Falls Reported in Virginias. Bristol, Tenn., April 10.—Show, sleet and rain fell in ; Bristol' and nearby sections today. Reports from several towns near here said that the mountain tops wete cover­ ed with a layer of snow early this morning. At 10 o’clock tonight a heavy snow was falling here. Cumberland, Md., April 10. Five inches of snow is reported at Rowlesbn rg, W. Va., a few miles west of Oakland^ with temperature of 28. Snow has been flying in this section all day. Big Frost Yesterday. The fine beans and tomato Dlants of Sundav are no more The ice on Monday morning and the big frost Tuesday morning played smash with gardens. Some think the wheat is damaged fifty per cent., and much of the fruit has been killed. Warm­ er weather is following the cold wave. Financial Mires are Foreseen in Tax Adjustment. Raleigh. April 6.—General and horizontal reductions in the values'- of all real and personal property in the State will give the new commis­ sioner of revenue a real job soon after he takes over the office in ad­ justing these values in the different counties. Indications are that there are general decreases authorized in and values ranging from tw nty and twenty-five per cent to sixty per cent cut ill Wilson county. The wile variety of the cuts authorized means that the new commissioners of revenue will have to set in motion the proper machinery for adjusting these diffences in every county so that the valuation in every county will be uniform throughtout the State. Otherwise the inequalities of the old system will again 'come into existance and the work and money spent by the State in an effort t ) iron out these inequalities will have been spent in vain. Mr. J. S. Swing Dead. Mr. J. S. Swing of near Pino, died Friday afternoon at two o’clock a jed 83 years. Mr. Swing had been ill for the past year or more. He is survived by his wife and one son J. H.

Whitaker went to Greensboro last Friday to be present at a meeting called By the campaign committee of the Methodist. Protes­ tant proposed college for the State. The meeting was -held Saturdav morning at Grace M. P. church, with Dr. R. M. Andrews. President of the Conference, presiding. The reports made by those present in regard to the launching of the campaign for funds to erect the college, were full of enthusiasm. The are a number of towns in North Carolina that are pul­ ling for this College, among them oeing High Point, Greensboro, Burl­ ington and Winston-Salem. The loca­ tion of tne college will be decided .on May 20th by the Educational Com­ mittee of the M. P. Conference.

County Board of Reviews To Meet. April 15th.I The County Commissioners, to­ gether with the Board of apprais­ ers will meet at the court house on Friday April 15th for the purpose of deciding as to what reduction shall be made on real estate in Davie county. It is thought that a cut of from 20 to 33 per cent will be made on farm lauds. After a dicision is made by this Board anyone dissatis­ fied with their decision can file a complaint during the month of May. If a big reduction is made it is like Iy that the tax rate will be raised. Iredell - Sells $300,000 Road and Bridge Bonds..' After the' bids had been refused for the sale of $300,000 worth of Iredell county road & bridge bonds the sale was thrown open to the highest bidder by the county com­ missioners Monday and A. B. Leach & Co., of New York, submitted a bid of $300,000 and accrued inter­ est to date ot delivery. The bid was accepted. Better. Cattle in Davie County. Sanford & Rich have sold thir­ teen Angns bulls in Davie county and think they have prospects to sell at least one dozen more before fall. Mr. N. B. McCanless, of Cool Springs, came over and bought five cows aud one bull from San ford & Rich last week. This makes nearly $2,500 worth of cattle these people have sold in the last three weeks. The editor is just in receipt of" a calendar, gotten out by Armour & Co., which shows that calves sired by pure bred Angus bulls, even if their mothers are scrub cattle, are worth about twice what ordinary scrub cattie are when sold at one year old; if fed until they are two years old there is a difference of from twenty-five to forty dollars so it does npt look like anyone should continue to raise scrub cat tie. We believe Davie is getting ready to make a big improvement not only in beef and milk cattle but also all ather live stock. There is 110 better country anywhere than Davie county for stock raising and once we get a few of our best men in each section to breeding pure bred stock we believe we. are on sure road to prosperity. Rev. W. R. Ketchie Dead. Rev. W. R. Ketchie, of Kappa, died last Wednesday night about 11:30 ociock, at the advanced age of 82 years.

He came to this county about fifty years ago from Rowan, and was for many years an active minister in, the Lutheran Synod. He was one of the leading citizens of Calahaln township and will be missed by a large circle of friends and neighbors. Baptists Will BniId Hospital in Near Future.

They are being “shown”, down In U issouri—and they like It. F o r the first tim e the wool grow ers of th a t state have been m arketing th eir wool co-operatively, and the plan is proving a great success. A t 70 centralization points the wool has been brought In from the country for pooling. A ll told, several thousand grow er^ have shared in the big co­ operative m ovem ent and wool am ount­ ing to m illions of pounds h as been handled. In each case it has been graded as th e grow ers brought it in, an expert gradei? supplied to. th e bu­ reau of m arkets, U nited S tates D e­ p artm ent of A griculture, classifying the fleeces. The w ork of the grader Is p art of an Investigation being car­ ried on by the bureau in connection w ith a study of the tentative wool grades w hich th e D epartm ent of Agri­ culture has recently established. I t isn’t so m uch. th e Im m ediate in­ crease in m oney retu rn s resulting from co-operative m arketing th a t interests these grow ers—although they prom ise to fare as well or b etter than th e aver­ age In this year’s m arket, w hich is far from norm al—b u t it is the benefit they expect to derive next year and the' years following from th eir experience of th is season. T he “showing” In M issouri—and elsew here—has consisted in demon­ stratin g th e value of grading as car­ ried on under th e co-operative plan. T he grow ers have been quick to see th eir m istakes and propose not to re­ p eat them . A s a result, the entire wool industry is to profit by a gen­ eral raising of standards am ong the grow ers. A m azing V ariety of W rappers, T he seem ingly incidental—-but real­ ly 'v ery im portant— m atter of w rapping the fleece illustrates the benefits of co-' operative wool m arketing. One of the regulations w hich m ust be observed,, if th e wool grow er is to suffer no penal­ ty w hen his wool is graded, is that' each fleece shall be w rapped in pa­ p er tw ine or a hard-glazed tw ine. If other tw ine is used fibers from it are alm ost sure to become m ixed Into the wool and m ay cause serious trouble in the spinning m achinery, or if these fibers are woven into fabric they be­ come • conspicuous owing to the fact th a t they tak e the dye'differently than the wool fibers. T his often results in the cloth having such defects as to be alm ost w orthless. - M any wool grow ers had never un­ derstood this until it w as explained to them by the grader, consequently some of the lots of wool brought Into the w arehouses w ere done up in_ w ays, th a t would have been am using had it not m eant considerable financial loss to the uninform ed grow ers. Some used binder tw ine and sisal, others ,bark, sm ooth wire, and barbed wire, and still others cotton rags torn In strips. Tlie m ajority, of course, had th eir fleeces tied w ith the proper m aterials. Ineidentally the bureau of m arkets explains tliat M issouri Is not alone in the m atter of being “shown,” since wool grow ers In all sections of the country have discovered th at they have been follow ing practices th at often seriously penalized them . “No M ore W et Wool fo r Me.” . •, B ut th e use o f proper w rapping m a­ terial, Is not the: only thing w hich the co-operative w ool grow ers are learn­ ing, :“S hear th e sheep when the wool is absplutely dry," say the D epartm ent of A griculturerand wool experts every­ where. B u t'm an y grow ers apparently do n o t know of th is requirem ent. One. grader in M issouri w as am azed to find all of th e wool In a. certain lot thor­ oughly soaked. Pressed fo r £n :'ex­ planation th e grow er , ad m itted 'th at he did not know th a t m oisture m ade any difference in -the grade, ..but realized th a t m oisture added to the w eight. 'W hen asked how he could account fo r th e condition of his fleece, he" adm it­ ted th a t-h e ’ had ajlowed his load, of wool to stan d ln the creek, jill night. W hen he discovered -th a t this w as .re ­ sponsible fo r his wool being rejected h e took th e -- decisipn sm ilingly aria w ith a “N ever againS” drove away. . r B urs Cause Trouble. : O ne class of “rejects" in .woot-grncU Ing Is know n as “burry.” M apy farm-_ ors have become Indignant-w hen so o e rof th eir fleeces w ere throw n into th e burry class. B u t in each case the g rader has been able to show them by careful exam ination th a t th e con­ dem ned - fleeces contained large num ­ bers of burs—som etim es 50 or 80. E very such experience h as sent the grow er back to his farm resolved to “d e a n up those burs.” “N e x t year you’ll see an Im provem ent in m y wool,” m ore than one m an h as tofd th e grader. I t is experiences like these th a t , are m aking wool grow ers In m any sections of th e country realize , th a t they have not been getting th e fu ll retu rn s for th eir product. T hey see th a t th e co­ operative system not only lessens the cost of handling, and so benefits both buyer and seller, b u t th a t th e grading w hich is ijn essential featu re of the system perm its them ' to b etter m eet m arket dem ands. "It is a case of ‘how, when, and w here,” ’ say th e m arket­ ing specialists. T he system w hich has had such a prom ising beginning In M issouri and other states enables the producer to grow th e kind of wool m ost desired and to sell It In the form desired; it enables him to hold his wool until th e b est m arketing tim e arrives, and through a large or­ ganization he is able to sell h is wool to the buyer who m akes th e m ost sat­ isfactory offer. H e is not a t th e m er­ cy of any one buyer. The bureau of m arkets is prepared to fam ish inform ation to any person Interested in learning m ore about co­ operative wool m arketing as w ell as co-operative m arketing in num erous other fields in w hich success h as been equally pronounced. " ' ACCOUNT OF FARM BUSINESS M emorandum of V arious Item s Will Prove V aluable W hen Calculating Profit and Loss In m aking a record of th e farm business, th e item of labor incom e cannot be determ ined accurately w ith­ out some system of accounting. Some farm ers will require accounts showing th e am ounts expended fo r labor, oth­ ers ou the am ount.paid fo r feed, and still others on th e am ount received for crops -sold. A m em orandum of such item s w ill prove valuable w hen the tim e comes to calculate th e year’s business. T he m atter of farm ac­ counting, according to th e specialists w ho have studied th e p'roblem for the U nited S tates D epartm ent of Agricul­ ture, is not dependent upon any p ar­ ticu lar form or blank book—th e real secret of success lies In know ing w hat accounts to keep and how to m ake use of them .

Chickens, for convenience, m ay be classified as egg breeds, m eat breeds, general-purpose breeds, and fancy or ornam ental breeds. T he egg breeds include the sm all or m edium -sized fow ls w hich are very ac­ tive, quick to m ature, producers of w hite-shelled eggs, usually nonsitters or a t best but poor sitters, and rather poor m others, say poultry specialists of th e U nited S tates D epartm ent of A griculture. The varieties of Leghorns and M inorcas are good representatives of this class. Because they are poor sitters some other breed, or a t least a few otlier fowls, should be kept if n at­ u ral m ethods of incubation are to be employed. On account of th eir earl} m aturity It is not uncom m on fo r indi­ viduals of the egg breeds to begin lay­ ing a t the age of four and one-half m onths. T hese breeds do not fatten as readily under ordinary conditions as th e larger and less active breeds, and are rath er sensitive to low tem ­ p eratu re because of th eir large combs and w attles.T he larg est fowls, represented In th e m eat class, are especially suitable fo r th e production of large roasters. They are slow and som ew hat sluggish In m ovem ent, have little desire for foraging, are easily confined by low fences, rath er slow to m ature, persist­ en t sitters, and rath e r indifferent lay­ ers of brown-shelled eggs. M any poul- trym en, however, are getting very fair egg yields from them . T he B rahm as, Langshans and CJochins m ay be m en­ tioned as belonging to th is class. T he general purpose breeds include fowls w hich are of fa ir size and which will also produce a good quantity of brown-shelled eggs, m aking them es­ pecially 1 adapted to th e person w ish­ ing a supply of both eggs and m eat. A s one h as to m ake frequent sales of flesh In th e shape of surplus cockerels and hens, th e carcass as well as e g g production should be considered. The general-purpose breeds are usually good sitters and good m others. They have m edium -sized combs and w attles and endure cold w eather well. They Ideal Condition for Hen Flock Is Free Range, occupy a m edium position betw een the egg an a m eat breeds as to size, egg production, and docility. T he Ply­ m outh Bocks, W yandottes 1 Bhode Island B eds and O rpingtons are good representatives of th is class. DESTROY STICK-TIGHT FLEAS ft Is N ecessary to Clean and Spray H ouses and Runs as W eii as T reat th e Fowls. “Stick-tight” fleas breed in th e cracks and crevices of brood and poultry h ouses; also in dry anim al or vegetable refuse, but will not breed In dam p or wfet p laces; therefore, to gef rid . of them it is necessary to clean and spray Uie houses and runs thor­ oughly as w ell as tre a t the birds, say poultry specialists o f the, U nited State?

G enius th at he w as in the reading o f m en’s minds, he felt th at he knew the result of th at ten m inutes deliber­ ation. . . A nd then . . . W hat then? . . . In his im agination he saw him ­ self suprem e in power, glutted w ith it — a king, an autocrat, who had only to lift his finger to plunge his kingdom into destruction and annihilation. And when he had done it, and the country he hated w as in ruins, then he would claim his million and enjoy it as a great m an should enjoy a great re­ w ard. . . . Thus fo r the space of ten m inutes did th e C ount see visions and dream dream s. T hat the force he pro­ posed to tam per w ith w as a dangerous force disturbed him not a t a ll: he w as a dangerous m an. T hat this schem e would bring ruin, perhaps death, to thousands of Innocent m en and women caused him no qualm : he w as a su­ prem e egoist. AU th at appealed to him w as th at he had seen the oppor­ tunity th at existed, and th at he had th e nerve and the brain to turn th at opportunity to his own advantage. Only the necessary m oney w as lacking . . . and . . . W ith a quick m ovem ent he pulled out his w atch. They had h ad their ten m inutes . . . The m atter w as settled, th e'd ie w as cast. .... H e rose and w alked across the lounge. F or a n . appreciable m om ent the Count paused by the door, and a fain t smile came to his lips. Then he opened it, and passed into the room. The Am erican w as still chewing his toothpick; Steinem ann w as still breathing hard. Only von G ratz had changed his occupation and he was sitting at the table sm oking a long tliin cigar. The Count closed the door, and w alked over to the fireplace. . . . “W ell, gentlem en,” he said quietly, “w hat have you decided?” It was the A m erican who answered. “It goes. W ith one amendm ent. T he money is too big fo r three of u s : there m ust be-a fourth.

T he m an we have decided on is com­ ing to Kngland in a few weeks—H iram C. Potts. If you get him in, you can count us in, too. If not, the deal's off.” The Count nodded, and if he felt any annoyance a t this unexpected develop­ m ent lie showed no sign of it on his 'fa ce . “I know of M r. Potts,” he answ ered quickly. “Your big shipping m an, isn’t he? I agree to your reservation.” “Good ” said the Am erican. “Let’s discuss some details.” — W ithout a trace of emotion on his face the Count drew up a chair to the table. It w as only when he sat down th a t he started to ploy a tattoo on his knee w ith his left hand. . . . H alf an hour later he entered his luxurious suite Of rooms a t th e Hotel M agnificent A girl, who had been lying by the fire reading a French novel, looked up a t the sound of the door.

H e picked up the new spaper lying beside the chair and opened It. "Them ’s the result of th at,” he con­ tinued cryptically, indicating a p ara­ graph w ith a square finger, and thrust­ ing the paper under his w ife’s nose. “Dem obilized officer,” she read slow­ ly, “finding peace incredibly tedious, would welcome diversion.

J. Bailey in Bibical Recorder. We shall soon see the automobile go down the road never to return! Wave it, gentle reader, a glad fare­ well. Its departure is the begin­ ning of a better day for you. Half the automobiles now running iii North Carolina will not be replaced. Their destiny is the scrap heap. Just as the bicycle, after a great run of popularity, becomes a vehicle of commercial rather than social use, the touring ear will give place tp the truck, only the fall of the touring car will be -much the great­ er. Iw illassertthe grounds of my prediction. There are 130,000 automobiles in North Carolina. Perhaps 30,000' of them are used in business; one Hundred thousand of them are pleasure cars—luxuries money-wasters,- time-spenders. But there are only 25,000 people in North CaroIina who in the most proserour of periods, the year 1919 had incomes of .as much, as $2000. That is to say that seventy-five: thousand pleasure cars are owned in North Carolina by people with incomes of less than thousand dol­ lars a year. Now it requires at least $1,000 on an .average to buy a car. It re; quires at least $300 on an average to keep and use one a year. A man therefore with an income of less than $2,000 is not likely to own but one car in his life and he will be lucky to ride 'in it one yeir. ' I" e will ride in it then at the expense of his creditors that year.. Was there ever such madness? f Was. there ever such folly? ; It: was^a mmtia;'this ^aatSmdbile passion—a'fortn of contagious insan­ ity—and the historians will identify it—millions of men an wemon, boys and girls spending their time and money riding in cars costing from $500 to $10,000—and three out of four of them owned and maintain­ ed by men whose incomes were less than $2000 per here? The human race never knew the like of that— folly. . It was a moral exhibition calcula­ ted to convince the scientist that the race is degenerate—men having —men having 110 more' regard for their credit than to deliberately ew bark on a course that" would end in not paying their debts—just to ride and keep up witn the procession. Even the preachers fell—and ac cepted them from their churches. Little did they suspect that they were, liabilities, not assets. If your church gave your pastor an automo bile, it ought in fairness to raise" his salary $500 to keep it up. . But it is over now. The cars are going, from one-half to two thirds of them will not be replaced; and the world will be much better off for it. It will soon be fashionable not to have a car. What A Democrat Says.

Under the present classification of railway shop craft in order to change a nozzle tip in the front eud of a locomotive it is neccessary to call a boilermaker and his helpier to open the door, 'because this is boilermaner’s’work; to call a pipe- man and his helper to remove a. blower pipe, because this is1 pipe- man’s work; to.call a machinist and his helper to remove the tip; also for the same force to be ‘ employed, tp put in the new tip. Before feder­ al control a machinist’s helper or handy man would often or ordinar­ ily put in this nozzle. It was then hot uncommon for a machinest and his helper to take cake of the work necessary on the electric headlight; under the national agreement now in force this work is so classified as to be disturbed among three crafts six men diong a. piece of work that formerly took two. _ Men working on' trucks, spring work and kindred occupation, and paid, prior to feder­ al control, handy; men or helper’s wages, a shade above a common laborer’s pay, were cade mic’ianics by an order of Mr. McAdoo, and are now receiving mechanic’s pay, 85 cent an hour. Men employed to couple and uncouple hose between cars are now classed as carmen, re­ ceiving 80 cent an hour with time and half time Tor holidays and Sun­ days averaging about $215 per month for . working seven hours a id 46 minutes a day. Prior to fedenl control they got 34 to 38 cent an hour... When a wrecking crew, untisally consisting of tenm en,called after It’s re^ lar hours'for a statecTjob in the yard is assigned to two other jobs, all Of' which is done in seven hours, 'fron start to finish, the men received hot less than 15 hours, and possiably 18 hours, pay because the two last jobs did not develop when the crew was calkd. * A mechanic was on passenger car work until 5 p. in., or one hour b;yond his assigned day. As he s epped from the car another em­ ploye pulled the handle off a water valve. The foreman called the machinest back to fix the vale. He did it and checked it and checked 011 the at the clock, too yards dist­ ant, at 5:06 p. m. He loosen two screws, drove the handle on and put in the screws, about three min­ ute’s work. He was under the rules allowed five hours for it. It developed at a hearing before the labor board that a rule allowing all shopemplopes one hour per week without performing any services— for checking themselves into and out of the shop—cost the railroads $12,000,000 a year. Discontinuance of all piece work has been followed by greatly reduc­ ed output per man. Foreman, fo'r- mely allowed to give a hand when­ ever the}- .could without impairing their usefulness- as foreman, are now permitted to employes conubt be permitted to pass a physical exa- maination when entering the service. A section forman or his men are not allowed to repair the motor car that carries-them to work, because it is a machinist’s work! These facts—merely illustratvie —were developed by a comm itteeof the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce and ' are ..presumably correct; the K affs^£^^?ham ber of Commerce applied direct to the labor board f or this: information, but it is stated re- Ceived-IioangiSver. Under’the3Skisting law the Inter­ state Commerce Commission is re­ quired" to establish rate so that the railroads shall earn 5 1-2 per cent on the property “ under honest, effi­ cient and economical management, ’ ’ plus an allowence up to 1-2 of 1 per cent foESffrovement, equipment, etc:: the ^iii^issiou determing' the value o ^ ^ p o p e rty . Clearly the Desertion is Desertion. Greensboro News. . •This from Charity and Children: The Greensboro News says; 4lSTaybe Miss Clements’ IawTiaS at;, tacked the foundation of society, bat a law that compels a woman to acknowledge as her husbaud a bird that has left her to shift for her­ self for five years, it seems to us is;-a pretty rotten foundation.” Well suppose it had been made one year instead of five. Would the neks indorse that? Certainly. The crime is the de­ sertion, and if that can be proven beyord a reasonable doiibt, the litigth of time since it occured is an irrelevant circumstance. It seems to,us that there is no reasonable doiibt that a man who has. left his wife with no means of support for twelve months has no intention of coming back. Hehasdesertedher and she ought to be released from any legal obligation toward him. That doesn’t mean that the de­ serter ought to be. permitted to go free. The rock-pile is . the place for'him. . But our information is that, the Clement law puts uot the slightest obstancle in the way of prosecution of the man. It merely reduces from 10 to 5 years the time that .a scandle can hold a woman le­ gally bound to him after he. lias proven himself a scoundrel. Cotton’s Best Friend. Concord Tribune. Farmers have been warned that another large cotton crop in 1951 will-be ruinous, and it has been generally agreeded that every farm­ er js to ciit his cotton acreage, but jt-feife is still great fear, economists says that another large corp. will be growu. The Rock Hill Herald speaking of the tendency to plant cotton regardless, says: “ The farmer today reams to be the best friend cotton has. Nobody seems to want it so badly as he does. About 60 per cent of the cottoii of North and South Carolina is still on the hands ot the farmer aud nobody seems at all anxious to buy it from him. The farmer loves his cotton and thinks he will love another big crop this year. Ju&t as surely as he lets his love for cotton overpower his reason, the South will be absolu­ tely ruined. With such an abnor­ mal amount of cotton as we. have on hand now and with the consump­ tion of the worid lighter than it has been for years aud years and years, it surely takes a brave heart and questionable judgement to plant a big.” , The farmer who figures that his neighbor are going to cut their cot- t jn acreage, and increase his own, will discover too late his great mis­ take. It is a question of co-opera­ tion by every farmer.

Opposes taw and Order League. We are having some Law and Order League in our township, am against this League for this reason; the meanest people we have got is jn this League running round talking and tending to every one’s business except their own If they would tend' to their own business half of their time it would take the rest of their time to let other people’s business alone, am not a whisky man; I don’t drink it, but I do think it is wrong to try to take the people’s freedom away from them. Not that I am in fa­ vor of people getting drunk and raising sand at the church. I think it is wrong and I think it is wrong to have these League meetings in the church. Tlie church was hot made to talk whisky talk and to preach worldly affairs in. It was made to preach the gospel in and nothing else. It would look much nicer to prer.cli whisky and worldly affairs in some school house. A man that is a Christian man - won’t preach whisky and worldly - affairs in the church, and the way I un­ derstand the League a Christian or a good League man won’t-take corn shucks from a poor, innocent man and scatter them over his - land for improvement. This was done in this neighborhood. A man claims to be a Christian man and a . peace and Order man, and I don’t call that peace and Christianity; So the shucks will take care of theirself and the Law can use the shuck spreader. And some of the League men, whenever they see’the merch­ ant sell a little sugar to sweeten his coffee, they think the buyer is a whisky mam I don’t make whis­ ky and I don’t uphold people in their meanness. If I did I would get that shuck spreader -to -spread me some shucks. " A man that has got plenty of everything he needs who will take shbcks from a poor innocent renter, will make a little moonshine if he knew nobody would would find it out. I believe in hav­ ing peace and also obeying the laws of our government and believe in going to church to hear whisky preached and I ain’t going to these League meetings until they keep them out of the church. I believe in being a friend to everybody and tending to my own business and letother people’s business .alone. We have got officers to protect our country and laws to abide by and Bibles to teach us right from wrong —and every man that don’t abide by the law and Bible, it is him, not me.

Speaking before, the new Con­ gress assembled to write a program of political and economic recon­ struction, the President declared ac­ ceptance of the league would be nothing short of a betrayal of the maudate of the November election Instead he asked for a congression­ al declaration of peace and for rati­ fication of those sections of the Ver- sailles treaty which protect specifi­ cally American rights and interests in the war settlement. ’ ‘In the existing league of nations world governing with its super-pow­ ers, this republic will have no part,” he said. .’ ‘It is only fair to say to the world.in general, and to asso­ ciates in war in particular, that the league convnant- can have no sane, tion by us.” The declaration was answered by a tremendous demonstration in which Republican senators and re presentatives led while most of their Democratic colleagues sat silent and unsmiling. After weighing the words of the cheif excutive, the senatorial group of treaty irreconci- lables was claiming a complete vic­ tory, predicting that even the parts of the treaty indorsed by Mr. Hard­ ing never would receive senate ap­ proval. Our Town Government. Mr. Editor: —I notice in the Ic cal papers that a Democratic and a Citizens’ Convention is called to meet for nominating candidates for Mayor and town Commissioners and school Trustees on Saturday after­ noon, April 23rd. These are very important matters to our people, and so far as the politics of these offi ers are concerned it matters but little, as little or no salaries are at­ tached. What we want are men and women who will have the cour­ age and backbone to do their duty, and see that the . town ordinances and laws are enforced. We want a man for mayor who will no: be a figurehead, dominated by any man or set of men, but one who will fearlessly do his sworn duty and see that we get value received for our money. We want at least one or two ladies for town C unmission- ers and School Trustees.' We want to know what the town ordinances are, and why they are not enforced. We want a policeman who has judgment enough to supervise good work on our streets, and one who vvill look after the. enforcement of the laws and town-ordinances. We would also like to know how much money is being collected and for what it is being expended. We would not object to the publication of receipts and disbursements show-, ing where and who is getting our money. I hope the ladies will get their names oh the registration books, and come out to the Citi­ zens Convention and help.nominate a ticket that will mean something for the future of our town. Let’s get together and all pull together for the common good. Down with partizan politics and up for a nice, clean town in which all of its citi­ zens can and will take a pride. The most important matter is ..nominat­ ing, the right kind of a ticket and electing it, to do this all must go to the convention, then register and vote. RespT submitted, E. H. MORRIS. .

OLD TESTS ARE UNRELIABLE Reinhardt Thiessen, Research Chem­ is t, Says Scientists of the Past Only Had a Vague Idea .of the Composition of Coal. W ashington.—Conceptions of th e or­ igin, com position and g e n e ra l; n ature o f coal held by scientists J n th e past are so different and contradictory th at it is a difficult m atter to determ ine the real extent of knowledge available or to rely on th e literature, says Rein­ h a rd t Thiessen, research chem ist of th e bureau of m ines. Scientists In gen­ eral had only a. vague Idea of the com­ position of coal, the-origin of its con­ stituents, th e transform ation they have undergone, an d ' the conditions they now are in. ■ T he chem ist did not have enough fundam ental know ledge to attack its chem istry in th e rig h t 'direction's. The fuel engineer, in turn, did not have a broad enough chem ical basis for stud­ ies in com bustion,, distillation, cooking and oth er processes relating to :the use of coal, hence the efficient utilization of coal In th e industries has suffered from th e lack of a proper knowledge of the n atu re of coal Itself. T he bureau of m ines, in order to' clear up som e of the confusion th at exists and to get a m ore exact knowl­ edge of th e n atu re of coal in general, as well as to obtain certain fundam ent tal facts, has been conducting a t its P ittsburgh station a m icroscopic study of the stru ctu re of- coal. O ne of the- g reat hindrances to its 'study, from the tim e of th e earliest investigators to th e present, h as been the difficulty In preparing -thin sections for m icroscopic observation. M hny attem p ts'h ad been m ade to overcom e this difficulty, and also to devise other m eans of study. F o r a num ber of years the ash m eth­ od w as pursued, b its of coal being ei­ th er .totally or p artly burned and th e ash exam ined under th e m icroscope. L ater, m aceration'w as tried w ith some' success, but on th e w hole it failed to reveal Iiie tru e n atu re of coal. M ore recently the m ethod w as tried of 'so f­ tening the coal w ith reagents and {hen cutting It into thin sections W ith a m i­ crotom e. B ut 'th is changes- the coal too m uch to show Its tru e appearance, besides the m ethod is inexpedient. Used Rock Method Study. F o r the bureau’s w ork an adaptation of the m ethod nsed successfully- for years by petrologists In studying rocks and paleohotanists in studying plants w as employed. A - sm all rectangular piece of the coal to be exam ined w as planed and polished on one surface, which w as then cem ented to a glass slide w ith a m ixture of C anada balsam and m arine glue. T he piece w as ground to a safe thickness on a lapidary’s w heel and w as finally ground to tran s­ p aren t thinness by hand on a fine hone- B xam inations w ere then'm ade through the m icroscope a t m agnifications rang­ ing up to 2,000 d iam eters.' ' Thd bureau sa y s.th at even w ith the naked eye* a bed of any bitum inous coal is readily seen to be banded, and a chunk of coal is seen to be highly lam inated and composed of layers varying greatly in thickne! s and In color, texture and fracture. There a re generally recot nized and described, two kinds of coal w ith re­ spect to its tex tu re; com pact-coal and m ineral charcoal.or mother-of-coal,- In the com pact coal, In general, tw o kinds of bands are. recognized, apparently alternating and in-sharp .contrast. The one is of a bright jet-black, p itch y ap­ pearance and-breaks w ith a conchoidal smooth, shiny fracture. T he other is grayish black, of a dull appearance, and breaks Irregularly. T he form er is generally called “bright: coal” or “glanz coal” and th e latter “dull coal” or “m att coal.” T h e b right coal consists of lenticular m asses g reatly varying In thickness and .breadth an d entirely sur­ rounded by of Im bedded in the “dull coal.” From the study a t high m agnifies- tions it has been definitely :shOwn J h a t the “b right coal” represents constitu­ ents th a t a t one tim e w ere pieces of wood, as of trunks, stem s, branches and roots. They are called “an th rax ­ ylon.” T he “dull coal” is extensively sublam inated into th in n er sheets of “bright coal” and. “dull coal.” Thiese thin sheets of “bright coal” also con­ sist of definite com ponents and are im­ bedded in a dull g ranular appearing m atter. T he “dull coal” m ay th erefo re conveniently be divided into two classes—th e th in black shiny strips and the highly com m inuted m aterial, term ed attritu s, in w hich th ey are im­ bedded. Derived From Plants.' It is conclusively shown- th a t the thin strip s of bright coal are also de­ rived from woody p arts of plants, and are anthraxylon, biit represent thin­ n er and sm aller fragm ents th an the thicker strips.

Som e of this wood is represented by th e larg er an- thraxylon, some- by the. sm aller an­ thraxylon and som e by th e attritu s, T he proportion represented in each of these varies in different coals and even a t different levels in th e sam e coal bed. T here is evidence th a t som e of th e cellulose m atter Is derived from the m ore delicate tissues, such as h er­ baceous plants, young or'grow ing p arts of plants, leaf-tissues, etc. T he hum ic or decayed vegetable m at­ te r form s a considerable proportion of th e a ttritu s of all cools. It is derived from th e cellulosic p o rts of plants, b u t includes, besides m acerated, semi-de­ cayed wood, som e m acerated guni, bark, pith, cortex and other m ore deli­ cate p arts. T here is no sh arp dividing line betw een th e anthraxylon an d the hum ic constituents.' Itesins are found in all coals, b u t in greatly varying proportions, both In th e anthraxylon and th e a ttritu s. W hen found in th e anthraxylon, th e resin is found in those tissues w here it w ould be expected if th e constituent w ere still a sound piece of wood. In the a ttritu s -the resins a re easily distin­ guished from th e other constituents. . Comparing Different Coals. T he exines or outer, w alls of spores .are p resen t in th e a ttritu s oniy and form an im portant p a rt of a ll’ coals, b u t in greatly varying proportions. T he spore exines are th e m ost readily dis­ cernible constituents in all coals, and* have definite characteristics. D ifferent' genera and perhaps different species of exines differ in sculpturing, -size, form ‘and thickness of w an, and by m eans' of these ch aracters can readily be distinguished from one another. T he spore ch aracters have been so well .preserved in alm ost all coals th a t the spores of one kind o f' p lan ts can be clearly distinguished from 'th o se of an­ other kind. In som e coal seam s the larg e r bulk o f th e spore exines are of th e sam e kind, In other seam s tw o or th ree kinds m ay form th e m ain bulk. In com paring coals from different beds -the predom inating exines.of. one seam are easily seen to be different in som e w ay from, {hose of any other bed: T hus th e coals of different beds, containing different sporCs,V m ay readily be dis­ tinguished from one another. O ccasionally in a given coal seam a spore exlne is found th a t differs from those of any o th er seam , b u t'd o es hot predom inate. T his spdre exine may. be a distinguishing characteristic of the Coal seam in q u estio n /alth o u g h -n o t th e predom inate one.

Fletcher who had served as Am: a sador to Mexico under Presi- d '.nt Wilson. Says the “Observer:" “It may be regarded as another evi dence of President Wilson’s capacity for selectirg competent men.” But the truth is that President Roosevelt was the man who first recognized the ability of Mr. F'e chers and ap- pointed him to the diplomatic service where he remained through the Taft administration and through the Wil­ son administration until he resigm d as a protest against the Wilson poli­ cies in Mexico.

Editor Green on “Special Interests” In. all the history of legislation in Noith Carolina probably no legisla­ tive body was so completely domi­ nated by special interests than the late lamented legislature that ad journedafewweeksago. Itissaid thas there was at least one hired lobbyist for each member, of tta'at body. In Sunday’s Greensboro News Bruce Craven says: ‘.‘Fifteen years ago Judge Clark advocated strict regulation of the infant South­ ern Power Company, prophesying the day would come when it would have more political power than it did electric power. Thelegislature laughed at him about thinking that the indurtry then fighting for life could ever be. a . political danger. Today the Southern ,,Power comp­ any is in full control of North Caro­ lina politics, including all of the Re­ publican party.” While farmers and small business concerns are struggling along under heavy tax burdens-rich stock hold­ ers, in violation of the State consti­ tution, have been given exemptions on stock and. securities amounting to approximately $8oo,ooo,oocmn Noith Carolina. ■ Duke, who was easily got what he wanted from the llIatelamented111Seemsto be, one of the largest holders of tax-free assets. Referring to: this water­ power money k in g -Mri Craven makes the following comment in his special article in the Greensboro News: ‘‘Quite a number of people have asked me what is the joke about J. B Duke being exempted from tax­ ation, as discussed a^ve^fcago; - If anyone can find any joke in it, he can do more than I can. It is one of the.soberest saddest facts known to me. It is said that Duke’s hold­ ings in corporation stocks exceeds one hundred million dollars. The constitution of North Caralina says he shall pay taxes on it. It hap­ pens, however, that the legislature passes the law about the taxes, and it says in all this stbck is exempt. For this reason Duke - establishes a legal residence in Charlotte, with no intention of living there, but simply because it saves him pro­ bably two million dallars a year in taxes. The same thing- applies to all others among the super-wealthy but a poor man is allowed only an exemption of $300 and-the legisla­ tive came very near taking that a- way from him. This may be - “ ut­ terly Itnbelievadlej as one citizen says but it is plain unadorned truth all the same. If you had been studying North Carolina politicians for 30 years like. I have you could believe anything about them.” It is astounding bow- docile and indifferent the average.voter- is con­ cerning the ‘ ‘invisible government’, 111 both State and nationals. : Ex- • * emptmg millionaries and taxing the toilers seems to be the special brand of reconstruction”, that is being arranged for the victims who yell themselves' hoarse every four years for the “ dear old party.” The latest plan is Io place the bur­ den of the war debt upon the com­ mon man and relieve the profiteer­ ing millionaires and gigantic mono­ polistic corporations. In the current issue of LaFollette’s Magazine, Senatoi- LaFollette sounds the fol­ lowing Warning: I “And now^ Mr.4,Qgmmon Men What do you suppose our Millionaire Masters are planning to do, us next? ; ‘ Theyare !going; to make the common folks. phy) th e. run­ ning expenses ,of governmens; (2) tlie interest on the “ Liberty” bonds, and (3) enough more to'create a Milking fund which in .time will pay, off the entire war debt: “The crushing weight of the to­ tal burden may not. b^. imposed at .onetime. Our Maisteris will guage NUMBER 42. limit of your capacity to carry the burden year by year ‘ ‘Their plan is a very simple one: • “First, they will repeal the excess profits tax and tax on large incomes The evasion of these taxes by the rich amnunts to an enormous sum; but it was quite impossible to so frame the law as to let them escape altogether and they are now caught to the extent of about a billion dol­ lars annually. The millionaires don’t like this and are planning to repeal these abnoxious laws. . “Second, they will pass a law, taxing all sales. This law will im pose a tax on everything we eat, wear and use. “Our master estimate that this tax will take out of the common people, from one biilion-to "five bil lion dollars annually, depending on the rate and the method of impos- the tax. ‘!No one can escape a tax on sales It is a tax on. life. ;Each human being must have food, clothing, shelter, fuel.

To talk about “supporting” your newspaper is about as damphoolish as to talk about-supporting a - store, a bank, or a manufacturing enter­ prise. You wouldn’t be much in the world if you didn’t trade in a store, have a bank account, ana have some outlet for. the energy of its citizens. Too many business men look upon the local newspaper as an incubus, a sort of charity. Yet the local paper is as much a public institution as the public library, the churches, the hos­ pitals, or even the commercial club —with.the difference that it gives more direct returns, in dollars and cents, to the individual and to the community at large. When a business man advertises in his local newspaper, it is with avow­ ed intention of building up his local business; but he really also helps to build up the town and everything in it. The professional man does more, because 'his advertising helps the town more than it does him—direct­ ly. The man, business or ional, who does not pay for his share of the town’s publicity, is a parasite, taking advantage of his fellow men. Tliis ; re(t and indirect-results for the man who pays for it;vit "produces results for every other business and profes sional man of the town, whether or not he evades his responsibility. It produces results for every man, woman and child in the community. , The county editor is not a pig­ headed, dealistic individual, he is out for the same thing that you are —to make money. And his best in teresis are the be3t interest of the town: Do you think it fair that he should shoulder the greatest part of the burden; that he should give his time, money and often his very heart’s blood to the service of the community,-for barely a living wage and sometimes not even that? Yet these services are offeredGvillingly as a free premium on an investment that will return you sure results. Or, do you think-it right that a few business and professional men should carry their share of thetownis ,publicity, while some others ^evade their responsibility? The newspaper is a civic asset and a civic responsibility. That burden of responsibility should be borne by the business men of the town, as they are the ones who benefit most. And that burden should be divided in strict proportion to the benefit possible of attainment. - place is from the looks of its news paper? If the paper is of the boost­ ing sort,, and is backed up by the business and professional men, does not the tywn get a reputation for being progressive? The newspaper’s stock in trade is publicity. You would not go into a store" and ask the proprietor to give you a pair of shoes for instance; yet too often the publisher is asded to give away his stock in trade—adver tising for the individual or the city or sell it for less than cost If you could keep count of the demands of this sort made on your publisher, ev­ ery week, you -would laugh. If a business or professional -man were to appear before this club and ask for more business, you would ask him why" he did not sell some thing worth buying, and why he did not adverlire. In proportion to the benefits, in­ dividual an.d general, advertising if ona of the cheapest things in the world. There are men who will teli you that they do not believe in ad­ vertising, Do you know why? l'hev are content to gather up the crumbs that fall from the table of the pro gressive merchant who advertises his business and his town.- Every time one of your stores advertises a sale, it brings people into this town, their buying instincts are aroused and they visit other, stores. The 'adver­ tiser gets direct returns, but the others take advantage of his expen diture without a cent of cost You expect your publisher to boost your town as one cf the best on God’s green earth. He is asked to do things for which nobody will fath­ er the responsibility.. Every time there is a civic opportunity you call on him for.! help.! You know the functions and value, os your newspa­ per as well as I do; so why elaborate? Let- me tell you, positively, that even a mediocre newspaper is a great fdcto^Imth^growth and advance­ ment of a community! There is nev­ er a time when advertising will not pay. If you do not owe a debt of obligation to your newspaper,- you owe it to the community. The com­ munity has a right to expect your co-operation in making the. newspa­ per representative of your commun- ity. , • Every time your name ia published in a list of contributors to some char­ ity, that is advertising—free adver­ tising that the publisher gives cheer­ fully, bebauseitrboosts the “The Fullness of Our Day.” “ When every fanner in the South shall eat bread from Lis. own pastur­ es'and distufbedby no creditor and enslaved by no debt, shall sit amid his teeming gardens, and orchards, and vineyards, and daries, and barn­ yard, pitches his crop to his own wistor and growing them in inde- , pendance, making cotton his clean -^^n^^ajtelFw hat'Sort OFtowif a* fStipltis1 and'selling it and tobacco in his chosen market, and ■ getting his pay in cash not in a receipted mortgage that discharges his debt, but does not resto:e.his freedom— then shall be breaking the fullness of our day.”—Henry W. Grady, 1888. Looking Backward. I am not anxious to accelerate the approach of the period when the great mass of American labor shall not find its employment in the field; when the young men, of the county shall he obligad to shut their eyes upon external nature, upon the heavens and the earth, and immerse themselves in close and unwholesome workshops; when they- shall be obliged to shut their ears to the bleating of their own flock upon their own hills and to the voice of the lark that cheers them in dust and steam to the per­ petual whirl of spools and spindles and the grating rasps and saws.- - Daniel Webster. “Them Was the Happy Days!” Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was a saloon keeper once upon a time. Well, he was. Here is a copy of the license granted to Lincoln and his partner in New Salein 111 ., 1833: “ Ordered that William F: Berry n the name of Berry. & Lincoln have .license to keep a tavern in New Salem! to continue 12 months from that date, and that they pay one dollars in addition to the six dollars: heretofore paid as per Treasure’s receipt and that they be permitted to charged the following rates: ' French bradly, per half pint, 25c!

Federal court was held in Salisbury last week, but we were all guessing for awhile. Sometimes newspapers gets things balled up and.sometimes it is not their fault. David H. Blair, of Wiuston-Sal em, has been appointed Commis­ sioner of Internal Revenue by Pre­ sident Harding. Thisisafineplum paying a salary of $10,000 per year. The Record is glad that out neigh­ bor, Mr. Blair, has received this high honor. He will fill the office with honor to himself and the State. A plan is being talked of to secure enough funds front the State to build a concrete road from .the W hitaker graveyard, four miles north of Mocksville, to the railroad bridge one mile south of Mocksville Tbe Record would be mighty glad to see this road built. W e are in favor of spending'money. for hard surface roads but we do not think it wise to invest any more money in building topsoil roads. They cost too much and last too short a time.

Notice' to Fanners, The State Department of Agricul­ ture announces that all farmers are to report the acres of each crop to the tax lister this year. This is not for taxation, but for the annual crop census survey that was provided for by the last legislature. This infor­ mation wili te compiled by the coun­ ties and not released until nezt Jan­ uary, when it will be in times for the farmers to use aiding their plans for the 1922 crops. It is important that each farmer prepare a list of his crops and have ready for listing, as it will save time and confusion later. This census put North Carolina in the efficienecy class of the most progress've farming states. Each farmer should prepare a list like the following and fill in with the number of acres planted or intended after each item. Fractions of acres seould be given or, small fields crops. The total size of the farm including woods, is essential. Total land,, cul­ tivated land, corn. cotton, tobacco, Irsh potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat, rye for grain and hay, soy beans for grain, and hay, clover all, crops cut for hay last year, all -field truck. h o m e g a td e n S i-h u m b e r h iv es o f b ees f ru it tre e s b e a rin g , n u m b e r h o rses a n d m u le s-w o rk e d a n d to ta l to n s C om m ercial F e rtiliz e rs to b e u sed 1921 .

And ills m any friends, who were wont to regard Hugli Drum m ond as a m ass of braw n not too plentifully supplied w ith brains, would have been puz­ zled had they seen the look of keen concentration on his face, as lie stared along the w hite dusty rqiul. H e could not say wliy, but suddenly and very certainly the conviction had come to him that this w as no hoax and no leg-pull—hut grim anct sober reality. In his im agination he heard tlie sud­ den sharp order to stop the instant they were over th e hill, so that Peter­ son m ight have a chance of inspect­ ing him ; in a flash of intuition he knew that these tw o men w ere no ordinary people, and. th at he w as sus­ pect. Two thoughts were dom inant in his miud. Tiie first w as th at there w as some m ystery about the m otion­ less, unnatural m an who had sat be­ side the driver; the second w as a dis­ tin ct feeling of relief th at his auto­ m atic w as fully loaded. THREE. At half-past live he stopped in front of Godulmmg postoffice. To his sur­ prise tlie girl handed -him a wire, and H ugh tore the yellow envelope open quickly. It w as from Denny, and it w as brief and to the point: “Phone m essage received. AAA. M ust see you C arlton tea day after tom orrow . Going Godulming now. AAA. M essage ends.” W ith ajslig h t sm ile he noticed the m ilitary phraseology—Denny a t one tim e in his career had been a signaler — and then lie frow ned. “M ust see you.” She should—a t once. H e turned to the girl and inquired th e way to The Larches, i t w as about two miles, he gathered, on the G uildford road, and im possible to m iss. A biggisli house standing well !jack in its own grounds. “Is it anyw here near, a house called. T h e Elm s?” he asked. “Next door, sir,” said t’hfe girl. “The gardens adjoin.” H e thanked her, and having torn up the telegram into sm all pieces, he got into his car. There' was nothing fo r it, lie had. decided,. but. to drive' boldly up to the h.ouse, arid say th at he bad come to call oil .M iss’ Benton. H e had never been a m an who beat about the bush, and sim ple m ethods appealed to him—a trait In-his char­ a cter which m any a . boxer, addicted to tortuous cunning i in th e ring, had good cause to rem em ber, W liat m ore nntural, he reflected, than to drive over and see such an old friend? H e had no difficulty in finding the house, and a .few m inutes later he w as ringing the front-door bell. It .w as answered by a m aidservant. “Is Miss Benton in?” H ugh asked w ith a smile which a t once won the ■girl’s heart. “She has only, ju st come back from London, sir." she answ ered doubtfully. “I don’t know "w hether ..." . “Would ;.you tell h er th at C aptain Drnm m ond called?” said H ugh as the m aid hesitated. “T h at I happened to find m yself n ear here, and cam e on .chance of seeing her?” Once again the sm ile w as called into play, and tlie girl hesitated no longer." “W ill you come inside, sir?” she said. “I will go and tell MIss PhyRis.” Sh^ u sh ered . him into th e draw ­ ing-room and closed th e door. It w as a charm ing room, ju st such as he would have expected w ith Phyllis. Big windows, opening down to the ground, led out on to a lawn, which w as al­ ready a blaze of color. A few grejjt oak trees threw a pleasant shade at the end of the garden, and partially showing through them , he could see another house which he rightly as­ sum ed w as The Elm s.. In fact, even as he heard the door open and shut behind him, be saw Peterson come out of a sm all sum m er-house and com­ m ence strolling up and down, smok­ ing a cigar. T hen he turned' round and faced the girl. C harm ing as she had looked in Lon­ don, sh e w as doubly so now, In a sim ­ ple linen frock which showed off her figure to perfection. B ut if he thought he w as going to have any leisure to enjoy the picture undisturbed, he w as soon disillusioned. “W hy have you come here, Cap­ tain Drum m ond?” she said, a little breathlessly. “I said the C arlton— the day after tom orrow .” “U nfortunately,” said Hugh, “I’d left London before th at m essage came. My servant wired it on to tlie post: office here. N ot th a t it would have m ade any difference. I should have come, anyw ay.” An involuntary sinile hovered round her lips for a m om ent; then she grew serious again. “It’s very dangerous for you to come h ere,” sh e rem arked quietly. “If once those m en suspect anything, God knows w hat will hap­ pen.” It w as on the tip of his tongue to tell her th at it w as too late to w orry about th a t; then he changed his mirid. “And w hat is there suspicious,” he asked, “in ,an old friend w ho happens to be in the neighborhood dropping in to call? W herefore your telephone m essage? W hat’s the w orry?” She bit her lip and drum m ed w ith her fingers on the arm of the chair. “If I tell you,” she said a t length, “will you prom ise me, on your word of honor, th a t you won’t go blunder­ ing into The Elm s, or do anything foolish like th at?” “A t the present m om ent' I’m very com fortable w here I am, thanks,” re­ m arked Hugh. “I know,” she sa id ; “b u t I’m so dreadfully afraid th at you’re the type of person who . . . who . . .” She paused, a t a ’loss for a word. “W ho bellow s like a bull, and charges head down,” interrupted H ugh w ith a grin. She laughed w ith him, and ju st fo r a m om ent th eir eyes £ i “ It’s Very Dangerous for You to Come Here,” She Remarked Quietly. m et. and she read in his som ething quite foreign to the point a t issue. In fact, It is to be- feared th a t the question of Lakington aria his com­ panions w as not engrossing . p ru m - mond’s mind, as it doubtless should have been, to th e exclusion of all else., * “They’re so utterly unscrupulous,”' eh? continued hurriedly, “so fiendishly clever, th at even you would be a child In their hands.” ’ H ugh endeavored to ’ dissem ble his pleasure a t th at little word “even” and only succeeded In frow ning -hor­ribly. -■ :■■■ . I , -.--: “I will be discretion itself," he as­ sured her firmly. “I suppose I shatr^haye to tru st you,” she said, " “H ave you Sgen the evening papers today?” “I looked a t; th e . ones .th at' come out in the m orning k b e le d :'six: p; m . ; be­ fore I had lunch,” he answ ered: ' “Is there anything of Interest?”'’ .J She handed him a copy of f the P lanet. “H ead th a t-little paragraph in the second cqhimn.” 'She pointed to it, as lie took the paper,., and H ugh read it aloud. . “M r.

H e has gone- Into the country fo r a few • days, but id suf­ ficiently recovered to conduct business a s usual.” H e laid down th e v-paper and looked a t the .girl sitting-opposite. “One is pleased,” h e ' rem arked - in a puzzled tone, “fo r the .sake, o f M r.

Potts. They told me a t the inquiry office th at he w as. ill in bed and unable to see anybody. So I asked for his secre- ■ tary, and they told me w hat I’ve ju st told you—th at he had left for B elfast th at m orning and would be aw ay sev­ eral days. It m ay be th a t there’s nothing in i t ; on the other hand, it ■ m ay be th at' there’s a' lot. And it’s ,only by follow ing up every possible clue,” she continued fiercely, “th at I can hope to b eat those fiends and get daddy out of th eir clutches.” Drum m ond nodded gravely, and did not speak. F o r into his m ind had flashed suddenly the rem em brance of th at sinister, m otionless figure seated by the chauffeur. The w ildest guess­ w ork certainly— no vestige of proof— and yet, .having once come, the thought stuck. And as he turned it over in his m ind, alm ost prepared -to Iaugli a t him self for his credulity— m illionaires are not rem oved ■ against their will, in broad daylight, from one of the biggest hotels in London, to sit In imm ovable silence In an open car — the door opened and an elderly m an came in. Hugh rose, a.id the girl introduced the two men. “An old friend, daddy,” she said. “Ton m ust have heard ,me speak of C aptain Drum m ond.” “I don’t recall the nnm e a t the m o­ m ent, my dear,” he answ ered courte­ ously— a fact which w as hardly sur­ prising— “but I fear I’m getting a little forgetful. You’ll stop .and have some dinner, of course.” H ugh bowed. “I should like to, M r. Benton. T hank you very m uch. I’m afraid thq hour of my call w as a little inform al, b u t' being round in these parts, I felt I m ust come and look M iss Benton up.” H is host Smiled absentm indedly, and w alking to tlie window, -stared through the gathering dusk a t the bouse opposite, h alf hidden in the trees. And Hugh, who w as w atching him from under low ered lids, saw him suddenly clench both hands in a ges­ ture of despair. ■ It cannot 1 be said th a t dinner w as a m eal of sparkling gaiety. M r. Ben­ ton w as palpably- III a t ease, and be­ yond a few desultory rem arks spoke h ardly a t a ll; while the girl, who sat opposite Hugh, though she m ade one or tw o valiant attem pts to break the long silences, spent m ost of the m eal in covertly w atchiiig her father. If anything m ore had been required to convince D rum m ond of the genuine­ ness of his interview w ith h er a t the Carlton the preceding day, th e atm os­ phere a t this strained and silent party supplied it. • A s if unconscious of anything pecu­ liar he ram bled on I n 'his. usual in­ consistent m ethod, heedless of w heth­ er he w as answ ered or n o t; but all the tim e his m ind- Was busily working. H e had already decided th at a Rolls- Royce w as not the only car on th e m arket which could break down m ys­ teriously, and w ith tfie tow n so far aw ay, his host could hardly fail to ask him to stop tlie night. And then —he had not yet quite settled how— he proposed to have a closer look a t The Elms.- A t length the m eal w as over, and the m aid, placing th e ' decanter In front of M r. -Benton, w ithdrew from th e room. “ You’ll have a glass of port. C aptain D rum m ond?” rem arked bis host, re­ m oving th e. stopper, and pushing the bottle tow ard him . . .“An old pre-w ar w ine which I can vouch for,” H ugh smiled, and even as he lifted the heavy .old cut glass, he stiffened suddenly In his chair. A cry—h alf shout, h alf scream , and .stifled a t once— had come echoing through' the open windows. W ith a crash the stopper fell from M r.'B enton’s nerve­ less fingers, breaking th e finger-bowl In fro n t of him , w hile every vestige of color left his face. -. “It’s som ething these days to be a b le .- to say. th at." rem arked Hugh, pouring out him self, a glass “Wine! M Iss-Benton ?" H e looked at the girl, Who. w as staring fearfully out- of the window, and .forced h er to m eet bis eye. “It will, do you good.” H is tone-.was compelling, and a fte r a m om ent’s h esitatio n ,; she pushed th e glass over to him: “W ill you pour it out?” she said, and he saw fh at she. wds trem bling all over. “D id you—did you heary-any,thing?” W ith a vain endeavor to speak calm ly, his host looked a t Hugh. “ T h a t nightrbird?” . h e.' answ ered easily. “E erie noises they, m ake, don’t they? Som etim es in F rance, w hen everything w as • still, and only the ghestlyr green flar-es w ent hissing up, one used to hear ’em.

B ut H ugh noticed th at he drained his port a t a gulp, and im m ediately re­ filled his glass. . . .

And m ore persistently than ever, his thoughts centered on . the ■ fifth occupant of th e Rolls- Royce." ■ It w as w ith alm ost a look of relief th at M r. Benton listened to his tale of w oe about his car. “Of course you m ust stop here for the night," he cried. “Phyllis, my dear, will you tell them to get a room ready?” W ith an inscrutable look a t Hugh, in which thankfulness and apprehen­ sion seem ed m ingled, the girl left the room. T here w as an unn atu ral glit­ ter in h er fath er’s eyes—a flush on his cheeks hardly to be accounted for by th e w arm th of the evening; and it struck D rum m ond th a t during the tim e he had been pretending to look a t his car, M r. Benton had been forti­ fying liim self. It. w as obvious, even to the soldier’s unprofessional eye, th at the m an’s nerves Had gone to pieces, his daughter’s w orst forebod­ ings w ere likely to be fulfilled.

Under the Circumstances, However, I Will Be Understood, Not Intended for ,Publication. Cleveland was not a master of scholarly eloquence, like Wilson, or of vigorous epigram, like Boosevelt; yet on occasion he could be fluent and on occasion witty. Of the two anecdotes that follow, the first shows his fluency, the second his -wit. Mr. Jelferstm Winter, namesake of the famous actor, Joseph Jefferson, who - was Cleveland’s intimate friend and fellow angler, tells the first story —Gray Gables, the Cleveland home, and Crow's nest, the home of the Jef- fersons, were not far apart. While Mr. Winter was visiting , at Crow's Nest the men went fishing. Toward'sundown, be cays, we went from the bass grounds where we had been fishing to a little lake hidden In woods, owned by Jefferson and stocked by him with trout. There we were joined by,, John G. Carlisle, Cleve­ land's secretary of the treasury;' tall, lank, pale-faced, saturnine, garbed In black, wearing a “plug bat” and en­ ergetically chewing tobacco—the very picture of an olid-tlme country lawyer. Cleveland and Jefferson put out upon the lake hi a small boat, while Mr. Carlisle and I remained on the bank. Cleveland, as is well known, was an Immense bulk of. a man—a sort of colossal Cap’n Cuttle, he appeared to me. He and Jefferson stood In the boat, almost back to back, and wbile both were;-casting; a t'th e same mo­ ment they came violently into col­ lision, stern on..' The result was that Jefferson plunged overboard on one side, and Cleveland, making a vain ef­ fort to seize and save him, lost his own balance and toppled over on the other. I have beard some, strikingly original, !graphic and vigorous lan­ guage firsthand last; but I have never heard anything to equal the impromp­ tu dialogue; between those two really affectionate-cronies, clinging to oppo­ site sides of the half-submerged flat- boat. Carlisle ’observed the aquatic disas­ ter with exemplary calm and listened to the interlocution with attentive and manifest admiration. Then he turned a twinkling eye upon me .and blandly remarked: “Most eloquent, but wholly idle!” :-. So much for Cleveland’s fluency; now for his w it Not eloquent, but by no means;Idle, was Cleveland’s brief answer to a telegram that be re­ ceived while visiting at Crow’s Nest during the fight for the Democratic nomination in 1882. It was from 'a senator, himself an aspirant for the presidency, who had the political audacity, not to speak of personal impertinence, to tele graph to the leading candidate: "The time has now come-for you, in the in­ terest of your party, to withdraw from this contest.” . Cleveland showed the message to his host “What answer shall you make?” Jef­ ferson asked. Without a word Cleveland took-the telegraph blank, turned It- over and wrote the. reply, on the back and be­ fore giving.it to the waiting messenger handed l t 'again to Jefferson. This was his message: ' “Somebody has been taking -an un­ pardonable liberty with your name. G. Cleveland.” It was the neatest' of rebukes, and the most, impossible to resent.— Youth's Companion. - No Cherries Without Birds. Of course, there wouldn’t be any cherries if there were no song birds. The bird puts the cherries* on the tree why shouldn’t he eat his own cherry! The farmer only holds a second mort­ gage on that cherry. He may think otherwise-and kill the bird; then the bird won’t get the cherry and neither will the farmer. The worm will gel' the cherry; the aphis, the slug, the mite, the blight, will get the cherry,; and the farmer's second mortgage will, Bccording to John Burroughs, shrink to nothing. In other words, were the millions of. bushels of bugs which the song birds consume for food In one season released, -the forests and. crop> would be presently wiped out, and with them the life of the people.—San Francisco Chronicle.; i Advance .Guard of .

An unusual and most elaborate Chl-. nese wedding ceremony which took place In Rangoon recently was that of the daughter of Lln Chin Thong, Chi­ nese merchant und shipowner. .' The palace of the Chinese merchant is known as “Dreamland." Here, ac­ cording to a recent article, be lives with all his sons and daughters and brothers and sisters and cousins and aunts and all other relatives who ran show rightful claim to relationship. There .are so many of them, In fact, that he maintains twelve motor cars for their use. Whtn the guests arrived In “Dream, land” they found the bride alone at an altnr engaged In a religious cere­ mony. She was dressed In magnificent robes and wore a gold crown eight Inches high, which even In the palm­ iest king and queen days was con­ sidered to be some height for a crown. But this particular crown extended In both directions, as it were, for all around it hung long ornaments, which hid the face of the little bride, blush­ ing under her careful makeup,- to a. point just a bit below the mouth. She wore enough diamonds to outshine an opera Singer, and not one of her fingers lacked the adornment of a -ring. When the happy and doubtless also fortunate bridegroom arrived sixChl nese. musicians began, working over weird-looking instruments, .-and- pro­ duced what they called a song of wel­ come to the-bridegroom, who was at­ tired in a robe of blue and gold. After the two principals had advanced to greet each other, the bride retired to an antechamber, where all-the guests filed by to greet her. After this was over everybody went Into the bridal chamber, which contalned a- bed en­ veloped In pale pink silk and lace, looped back on each side with silver- embroidered curtain loops: . A bolster of the same material divided the bed. On the bridegroom’s side.was a silver salver filled with tobacco. To look at him nobody would have thought that he was such a heavy smoker as that After the guests had examined the bridal chamber a number. , of Chinese girls skipped In and entertained the guests with dancing.—London Mail. Disconcerting, at LeasL William Koch, an interior decorator, had an experience recently .that might well be—well, it might at least be called disconcerting. He went to a North side church one morning to make some plans for decorating the edifice. The janitor - hacL told him where to find the electric switches, but when Koch got there he .found he had misunderstood the directions. He couldn’t find the lights, so lie-went groping through the dark-interior in search of them. Carefully be followed the line of pews, then went fqyth In open territory. Then It happened. Koch,' with arms outstretched stepped into', space—and landed with a healthy 'splash In the baptismal pool. The janitor, forgot to cover It. ' He sat by the fire In the church basement a long time and regretfully mused on the fact that it. wasn’t Sun­ day.—Indianapolis News. To Prevent Suicide by Gas. Henceforward nobody , but a hermit with a bad cold in the head will be able to commit suicide by the gas route, according to officials of . the United States bureau of mines.. The bureau recently announced ,the pefec- tion of a system of mixing chemicals with the illuminating gas in such a manner that leakage can be smelled “all over the house.” Bxperiments have been successfully carried out with several different kinds- of odors, In­ cluding banana, wlntergreen and grain alcohol. Two other concoctions result in. odors described sis “sumptin’. terri­ b le A n c ie n t eggs are said to. be mild In comparison. This odor, the experts believe, is sufficient to discourage any would-be suicide who is worth the sav­ ing. The ^discovery is expected to make accidental asphyxiation impossi­ ble and will also- go a long way to­ ward preventing destruction .of prop­ erty by gas explosions. Yap In Ruins.

Will Appeal to Others Besides These Who In France-Made Their Deeds Immortal. . When I first saw Joan in i915,. •writes Major F. N. Lund In the Lon­ don Times Magazine, she was already an old soldier, standing in a muddy, bleak field near the ruined village of Elverdinghe. She was oniy a typical English shire cart horse ' that nad “come through the retreat” with-sev­ eral other horses In our string. I remember seeing little of her dur­ ing those first strange weeks in our forward billet; but when 'we moved back into rest I saw at the end of a column of steaming horses Joan and her team mate, Darby. That summer we lost horses. We moved slowly forward and sometimes backward, day and night in action, with the horses never far away in open fields. With the autumn came rain, mud and cracked heels, and.In the village of Souastre Darby had to be led away, with open gashes on both hind feet.. . Joan worked badly that day and ate scarcely anything. The next day she stayed In and fed out of my hand. The following day she seemed well again; but Darby’s place had been hard to fill. Through that winter and a summer of defensive warfare rations were , seldom late, though they were often delivered under fire. Joan maintained her' old gait, apparently caring little about the going or wheth­ er she drew more than her share of the load. The winter of 1917-18 found us at Potljze, and the horse.s In a ruin at Ypres. There was a lot of hard work, but no action. One day Joan’s mate and her driver were struck down by her side at feeding time, and Joan was the only one left of our old horses. - Then the tide turned, and we began to advance—Arras to Cambrai In a week. When we pulled out of Cam- brai the Huns were in full retreat; and we were told to “keep up with the advance.” At dusk, footsore, tired and hungry; we pulled our few re­ maining carts into a small field near the ruined chateau of Escaudoeuvres. .We unhooked, tied our famished horses, unrolled our blankets and fell Into ditches—but for once the rations were not up. And there was no sleep that night. A battery of 5.9’s had pulled into the chateau drive In front, an airplane had seen their flashes and had spotted the transport on the road. AU night long we were carrying and tying up wounded. At last daylight came, but no rations; where were they—and Joan? Finally the shelling stopped, and out of the mass of transport on the road came a battered wagon, piled high with food, drawn by a solitary horse, bleeding from the hincf leg and nostrils—merely staggering along— with the driver wearing a red band where his helmet should have been. A great cry went up from the weary, hungry men. But at once I saw the wagon stop Inside the field and. a great horse sway for an instant,, sink to her knees, topple over and He still.• *»***»* Tliey say that In some devastated parts of France women at night have seen ghosts of their loved ones rise and walk with them. If this is so, then some of my lost men may march with me once more. And In a peaceful meadow that I know of, near a re­ built chateau, I may one night hear the creaking of a wagon- and the sound of wheels, and I shall see a horse that I once knew, driven where there should be two; and she shall be covered with foam and bleeding at the nostrils and lame. And I shall hear a well-known voice shout, “Rations up I” and ghosts of weary . fighting men shall echo, “Thank God!”—and as I stumble away I shall murmur, “and Joan.” A Limit To Fortbearence. In our zeal to make the News an instument of the helpfulness to the community we have gone so far that some people have come to ex­ pect this newspaper to publish free of charge matler which, by all the. recognized rules of' the newspaper business, is properly and necessarily chargeable. Moreover, not content with riding a frge horse to death, some have become actually insult­ ing in making' demands of this na­ ture. For example, this office was called up on the. phone this week by a certain “lady,” who, after calling the editor by an insulting name, (which no real lady or gentle­ man would deliberty use) wanted to know if the paper, would make announcement of a certain enter­ tainment to which admission was to be charged. And before' the young woman of- the News staff who an­ swered the phone could even an swer the question, the' “lady” at the'other end of the line went on to say that if the editor, did not have enough* public spirit to publish the announcement free, she would not pay for it. We think we have about as much publie spirit as anyone i:i Lenoir City, and we have many times gone out of our way, set aside the busi­ ness rules necessary to the succes- ful conducts of a-newspaper, to help out this and that public enterprise, besides giving liberally in cash. We want the News to be helpful; we are doing our. best to make it so. But there is. a:-;limit to our forbear­ ance with some: Too much is en­ ough, and when it reaches the point where demand for free advertising is made coupled with a gratuitous and uncalled for personal insult, we think the ‘limit has surely been reached.—Xenoir City News.

By .sounding with sound waves In­ stead of a steel cable a Frenchman has been able to determine the depth of the ocean iii a few seconds, where the ordinary process requires minutes and hours. In contrast to the usal equipment of cable, reels-and donkey- engine he equips himself simply with a quantity' of high explosive, a micro­ phone, and a chronometer. Detonat­ ing a charge of explosive In the Wake OfhIs moving vessel, he hears In hit microphone both the noise of detona­ tion and the' echo produced by reflec ■tion from the bottom.
