STORY SHERIFF ALAMANCE COUNTY. .utauqvM and Reconstruction t During "the war • Chautauqua ranked high among thoae institu tions whose part it was to maintain the nation's morale. It furnished a magnificent part of that b uyant, never-give-in spirit of do-or-d iene*B, that has made November 11th uu immortal day. Chautauqua gave to the country a cheerful and patriotic program. Its wholesome entertainments helped to neutralize the horrcra of war. Its stimulating discussions of the na tion's most vital problems brought intelligent and united action. Its oontiioution to our nation in those 1 tragic days moved President Wilson to estimate it, "an integral part of our national defense."- After the war, what ? The old world has been destroyed. Out of 1 the fragments oh the old the new must be built. The old pattern is forever gone. The new architure has not yet arrived. Chautauqua's opportunity at> this particular time is unique. Never in its history has the country had greater need to think clearly. The great national and international questions which are calling for solu tion can be solved correctly only by clear thinking on the part of every man. And Chautauqua -8 the people's university and the one fie forum for discut son in America. Its program is patriotic but non-partisan, its teachings are always clearly moral but never sectarian. Without re gard to class, creed, party, or social ' stratification, its gospel is always of genuine uplift and of broadeniug vision? Without this free discussion De mocracy is impossible. Russia and Germany stifled free and open dis cussion. The one is in chaos, the : other in the bitterness of defeat after an ill-advised attempt at world dominion. Chautauqua will help preserve our priceless Democracy by the only sure way, a free and frank ; discussion of the country's problems. Thus Chautauqua, always and for ever important, is this year more vital to the community than ever be fore. It will create that community interest that banishes individual selfishness. It will bring together all the people of the town to consider with the nation's keenest minds the world's biggest problems. It will be a steadying force for the right kind of progress in this Reconstruc tion period. It will leave the com munity with better men, nobler wo men and happier children. The Chautauqua Association, Swarthmore, Pa., will lie ia Burling ton from June 21-27. Christian Endeavor Union Express Thanks.

Tie oflicars have a pretty good idea as to whom the outfit belonged. Over 500 gallons of beer were turned loose, and 3 bags of meal and 3 gal lons of whiskey «nd a good copper still were taken in charge. Another stilt,was captured yester day afternoon by Sheriff Story, Depu ties Stockard and Hensley and Boyd Trolinger in l'leasant Qrove town ship on the J. Calvin Wafker farm.

The still, which was destroyed, was a galvi nized iron alTair. About one thous and gallons of beer were tdrned loose and three bags of meal and a hag of malt were seized. It is not known who operated the still and no one was seen near tbe place. Superior Court Notes. Last week the Court finished up the work that had been calendared for trial on Thursday afternoon.
