After Long Deliberation, the the Italian Government De clare* War on Austria to Gain Territory. Last Sunday Italy formally de clared war on Austria-Hungary, making eleven nations now at war and adding 8,000,000 troops to the forces of the allies. Italy has spent $400,000,000 in a few months preparing for the conflict, and.it is said that 1,850, 000 perfectly equipped »r*oor'a already on the frontier or are close to it. Troops have' been moving northward for more than two weeks. They are armed with the best weapons the world can produce. The artillery is said to be equipped with heavy guns superior to the famed German and Austrian howitzers, while the field artillery has a weapon declared to be of longer range and more effective than the French “75.” One great purpose of Italy in' entering the war is to gain pos session of "unredeemed Italy,”.a sweep of Austrian territory to the north and east, near the head of the Adriatic Sea. This region, which includes Trent and Trieste is Italian in all but nationality. To attain it has long been her cherished ambition. The territory in dispute may be defined roughly as the sections of Austria south of a line drawn in the Rhaetian Alps, where Italy, Austria and Switzerland meet, eastward to the Carnic Alps, and thence southward along to the Italian Alps, and again eastward so as to include Fiume. , Henley's Clover.* The farmers’ institute people have encouraged th^ farmers who cultivate sandy soil in Lee county to raise annual crimson olover. Mr. W. W. Henley asked them why they did not advise the farmers to raise the old red top clover. They stated that it was because it would not grow on sandy land. Mr. Henley has since made an experiment with this clover and as a result Tie now has as fine a field of red top clover on his farm near Jonesboro as can be found in Lee county. He put stable manure on the land and after inoculating the seed sowed them with oats in October 1913. Mr. Henley says red top clover contains almost- twioe as much -hui9.ua as .any other legume. The red top clover, when raised for stock, has another ad vantage over crimson oio^ei^^U^m souring. 'V ' Community Day. It was the understanding when we celebrated the Fourth of July last year that Sanford would continue to cele brate this national holiday annually. As it is but little more than a month till the Fourth a committee should be ap pointed to get up a program and make arrangements for the celebration of the occasion. As the Fourth this year will fall upon Sunday we will have to celebrate either on Saturday pr Mo1* day. Some newspapers have suggest*1’6 that the week before be a special tra<**° week so that the people can do thef1 trading before the day of the celf11 bratlon and then devote that day sot68 ly to onjoymont. This is a good sur® gestion and one that would work w4 In Sanford. f11 Since the above was put in type vr* learn that the Fourth will be observed f0 this place on Saturday, July 3rd. D. B. Teague, chairman of the L*t^ County Booster Club, Mrs Jas.

Barnes sued Roosevelt for $50, 000 damages and the trial has been on at Syracuse, N. Y., for live weeks. The verdict was returned after 40 baiiots had been taken and the jury had considered;the evidence for 42 hours. The jury at first stood nine to three for Roosevelt and then eleven to one. The one juror was willing to acquit Roose velt of libel but wanted him to pay half the costs. The jury agreed on that kind of a verdict but the court refused to receive it, holding it illegal.

Ualcigh Times, lir.th, Tile women of North Carolina can not serve as notaries public, accord ing to a majority opinion tiled by the State Supreme Court today. Justice Allen wrote the opinion for the court and Chief Justice Clark dissented in a vigorous dissertation and Justice Brown, in a few lines, expressed the belief that this position should be open to women. In the majority opinion,Justice Allen quotes the court in other cases, one extract being taken from a decision written by the chief justice, and Chief Justice Clark, iu his dissent, refers to other opinions iu which it was loosely held that the position of a notary public is an utliee in a constitutional sense. The case came before the Supreme Court in an appeal by Mrs. Noland Knight, of Asheville, who was the tirst woman notary to be appointed iu this State after the legislature had passed an act authorizing women to serve iu this capacity. As a test case, it was followed with great in terest. by both men aud women, espe cially the latter, who crowded the legislative halls while the hill con ferring on them this power was un der discussion and who three weeks ago thronged the chamber of the Supreme Court, and listened intently to the remarks of counsel. The argu ments were made mostly on ttie side of women notaries, Attorney General Bickett alone giving both sides of the question. Invention That Enables Man to See Through ilriok Wall. New York Dispatch, May 2drd. William Marconi, inventor ofjthe wireless telegraph, made it known yesterday before sailing for Italy, says the Evening World, that he has invented an apparatus by means of which it. is possible for a person standing beside a solid partition such as a brick wall, to look through it and ohserve what 49 happening on the other side, just as if there were no obstacle interposed to the vision. Mr. Marconi is quoted as saying that the device has been perfected to the point where persons in a room, - looking through the wull, if the persons viewed are close to the wall they become blurred. Possibilities for evil involved in the apparatus, it is asserted, have made Mr. Mar rvoni reluctant to make known his invention. *1 Summer Necessities Screen doors in all standard sizes at $1 and up.
