JAMES L MAYO PaeniRTo CARL GOEROH Edito Dai Msnth > Fear Uomtiu 8 im Months . One Tear . . . RATE8: WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA, FEB. 10, 1916. A New York editor, according *o news report-*, has captured an heiress for & wife. Editors all over tbo country will undoubtedly give s little moro attention to the hang of their neck ties and the crease in their trousers. County Superintendent W. G. Privetto come* forward with th. announcement that the attendance at this year's county school com mencement will bo twice as large as that of last year. The more th* merrier. They can't come in too '.urge a number to suit Washing ton. "And if tho R publican National Convention should nominate Theodore, would ho murmur, 'Ah. this is so sudden?'" queries the News and Observer. lie would not. Neither would he murmur. "Gentlemen, the honor you otTer me is & great one. hut modesty farces me to say that T am not the proper man for the place." Germany declared the sinking of the Lusitania was not "illegal." The United States insisted it was. Both firmly declared that thev would not yield an inch. Big headlines flashed forth in all the papers throughout the country. War was imminent. Diplomatic relations sure to be broken. Big excitement. What follows? Kv erything has been smoothed over. Who yielded ? Nobody. Where'? the war I No war. Diplomatic relations broken ? Nope. Every thing quiet along the Potomac. Let's have another crisis. PKEPAKED OR UNPREPARED? One of the principal causes for the objection of many persons to President WiLv-m's preparedness program is that it appears to be so extremely difficult to pet down 10 the facts in the ease. "Mr. Wilson declares that the country is in grave danger and thai everything should be done to protect the nation at once. Secretary Daniels and Secretary Garrison arc* even more insistent in urging tliat a huge program of national defenso be adopted. Now wo have tlie following statement from Lieutenant General X el son Miles: "This country is in no danger of being invaded by a h'-srth^ TjnHon. On-r^aat defenses are eoual ro nnv in tiie world, the Dardanelles not excepf-d. Landing of an invading army of 500.000 men in this country ?would be an impossibility and the United States would never stand conscription." To this statement, Admiral Blue, of the United States navy, adds the following: " ~f '"The American navy could reach the Pacific coast before a foreign enemy could do so.?t Of course we are bound to respect the opinion of the President and the Secretaries of the war and navy departments but are they us well informed of the actual condition of this country's defenses .13 the men who have spent years of sen-ice in the army and navy? Which side is right? Why should General Miles and Admiral Blue make such state ments if they were not true? Why should the administration become so hysterical over the <1.> fenso project if there is no reason for it? TTow is it that both sides cannot agree on such an important ques tion ? Which side are the people to believe ? These are questions which it is extremely bard to answer. Wood I and Blue should be acquainted with the actual condition of our do- j fenscs better than any other two men in the United States, ff President Wilson is right, then both the General nnd Admiral might, truthfully l>c termed traitors to th'-ir country. Vet, can anv-noi accu<f th^ra of being that? There is evidently far more behind this preparedness program than the people have any knowledge of. the bond issue commission In appointing John B. Fowle, F. J. Rerrv and R. K. Hodges t act as members of the Washington Township Bond Ishic Commissi or the county commissioners displayed most excellent judgment an' cannot I*? commended too highly f??r their selection. Ir i< d'uditfn' if they could have appointed anv other three men whom the mnjorit* of voters in the township would have preferred. The appointees are ably qualified to fill the position of <11 pervitin, the expenditure of the bond issue in the township. Mr. Fowle am Mr. Berry aro two of the most prominent business men of Washing ton. Berth are known to lie absolutely trustworthy. Both hav justly earned tho high respect in which they are held hy both th> residents of the city and country. Mr. Hodges is one of the bes' known farmers in the township. He ha* made a success of farming He is a capable business man of unquestionable character. Al' three, we are sure, will work together for the U*st interests of nil concerned. Formal a?-.*cptaiice of the position, it is understood, has not yet been made by tho three en. They are kept, busy with their own affairs, but it is hoped that they will realize the importance of the task which they have been asked to fill and that they will he willing to make a sacrifice for the success of the good roads movement in the county.

"Are you sore sue U a lady, daddy?" asked Jack. "Once 1 Haw a beautiful picture of the North Wind, and she was hiding In a treetop, waiting to race down a valley. On, on from the north lands a he charges etr h fall, seizing beautiful autumn leaves by the bushel and tossing them like feathers miles from their mother treea. Down, down toward the, southlands she races, pushing whiter cold down chimneys till they whistle and thrusting her icy fingers In through tbo cracks around the doors and windows of little poor children's homes. Sometimes she whisks up to a little girl going to school In the rain and juut for fun turns bar umbrella wrong aide oat. Sometimes she blows Winds and slims from shops down on the beads of people passing by. Again sl?? rushes Into cracks around poor people's windows and chills their rooms when already they have no fire. Then she will daah up to some nice old man out for a morning walk and blow his sl\k hat right down the street "This Is exactly what ths North Wind did one January 1 know about. Bbe blew an old man's hat right Into the middle of the street, and a little lad whose lmrents were both dead and who had had no breakfast that morning dashed off to pick up the hat for the nice old man." "Maybe the nice old man will give him & cents, for a breakfast," Evelyn Imagined. , . "Nothlug so happy T* cried daddy.

English Uramatist IT seems to nut that the moving picture and the sffoken dramx appeal to entirely different au diencts, Jl'ST AS" THE PLA\ OF IDEAS AND THE V\.A\ OF VIOLENT ACTION AP PEAL TO DIFFERENT AUDI ENCES. The mind that took pleasure in | the play, the charm of which way the exchange of thought and the development of character, will con tinue to take pleasure in it; the m?nd that took pleasure only in (In portrayal of action on the stage will continue to take pleasure in it in the spoken drama and on the Htuge. BUT IT IS UTTERLY A8SURD TO THINK THAT THE MQVING PIC TURE CAN EVER 8UPPLANT THE DRAMA. The natural ear hunger for the spoken word w^uld prevent sueh a calamity, even if there were no oth er obstacle in its way. If in ordi nary life people conveyed their emotions and ideas by means of signs instead of by means of spoken1 words, then the moving picture might gain final ascendency over the drama.

Each is advantageously located in the territory it serves, has cheap fuel and favorable-transportation facilities. The General buy# raw materials in enormous quantities and far ahead. This means favorable buying and the pick of the market. With manufacturing so perfected and cheapened, the highest quality is produced at the lowest cost. This preparedness enables the General to make one-third of all the rolls of roofing used. All over the civilized world you will find Certain-teed The quality of roofing cannot be determined by looking at it, nor by twitting or tearing. Id durability can not be tested cxcept in actual use over a period of year*. Contrary to popular belief, roofing doe? not wear out ? it dries out. CERTAIN TEED Rooting is especially made to defeat this process of drying outi as it is thoroughly saturated with our properly blended soft asphalts and coated witn a blend of harder asphalts, which keeps the soft saturation ? the life of the roofing ? from dry ing out. This produces a roofing pliable, yet durable, and impervious to the elements. CERTAIN-TEED products are made under the supervision of our board of grad uate chemists, and are the result of long experience in mining, refining, and blending of these materials. CERTAIN-TEED Roofing is guaranteed to hold "its place in the sun**for 5, 10, or 15 years according to whether it is 1, 2, or 3 ply, respectively. Behind this {guarantee ?and* tne responsibility of the world's largest Roof ing and Building Paper Mills. Past experience has proved that our guarantee is conservative, and that the roofing will outlast the period of the guarantee. There is a type of CERTAIN-TEED, and a pro per method of laying it, for every kind cf building, with flat or pitched roofs, from the largest sky scraper to the smallest structure. CERTAIN-TEED Roofing is sold by responsible dealers all over the world at reasonable prices. GENERAL ROOFING MFG. CO.
