PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE TO CONGRESS ot tlie present month. The conference times of peace. THE PRESIDENT IX HIS MESSAG E TO CONGRESS LAST TUESDAY SAID, THAT THOSE WHO CONTEND THAT UNITED STATES IS UNPKEPARKD FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE, HAVE BEEN MIS INFORMED. THE MESSAGE FOLLOWS: Gentlemen of the Congress: The 6cssion upon which ycu are now entering will be the closii.g ses sion of the Sixty-third Congress, a Congress, I venture to say, which will long be remembered for the great body of thoughtful and constructive work which it has done, in loyal re sponse to the thought and necd3 of the country. I should like in this address to review the notable record and try to make adequate assessment of it; but no doubt wo stand too near the work that has been done and are our selves too much part of it to play the part of historians toward it. Moreover, cur thoughts more of While v.c of peace whole a Whiit vi and oar -best thai in-tor or thusiasm ciples ini which s- the I t Is' n'; are now iutuv than of the past. . o wonted i t our tasks in which this convention origins ! was called by the United States: the representatives of the United Sti-U-played a ery influential part indr'l in framing the provisions of the pro i posed convention; and those provis , ions are in themselves for the most passed the House of Representatives 1 Part. admirable.

J. Adams, Judge Presiding: We, the Grand Jury for the present term of Superior Court of Randolph county, beg leave to submit the fol lowing report: We have completed the business before our body, and have returned all bills submitted to us for action, and made presentments of all matters which are within our knowledge. We have examined the institutions of the County by committee, have vis ited the various county offices in a body. We find the offices in good con dition and well kept, but suggest the following exchange of rooms: That the County Superintendents' Office be moved to the Grand Jury room, (for convenience and light). We, as a committee visited the County Home, and find 17 inmates, 10 females anil 7 males, one convict. We recommenil that there be some work done immediately, as conditions are bad as to the buildings. We further recommend that the County Commis sioners visit the County Home at an early date, anil make sortie different provisions for an invalid child. We also recommend that there be a new County Home built as early as possi ble. We find at the Home: 2 good mules, 2 Milch cows, 4 hogs, 450 bu. of corn. 15 bu. of sweet potatoes, c barn full of rough feed, 20 acres sow ed to crimson clover, and oats and a large number of chickens, 1-one horse wagon, 1-two horse wagon. We, as a committee, visited the con- ict camp, ami found all them at work, five negroes and two whites, all men. We note with pride the creat im- is character and nrovement made on the roads in the ently, in Cod's i county, and heartily endorse the same, an opportunity , We further find the convict camp in De-en vol!', nsated , excellent order. We visited the jail anil find it we!! kept, but in need of repairs on r-c ami find a number of iights broken, also repair of fireplace. We recom mend a new jn.il. We hail the pleasure of vis-iting the Graded School of Ashoboro, and fund the Superintendent. Prof. C. E. Ten guo. and his cllieient body of teach ers busily engaged with thofr work. The School now has enrolled 450 stu dents, a'l ms-.king excellent progress in their studies. They pre a weM trained body r.f young people, and are living monuments to the work of their instructors.

Let there be no misconception. The country has been misinformed. We have not been negligent of Na tional defense. We are not unmind ful of the great responsibility resting upon us. We shall learn and profit "jr me lesson oi every experience and every new circumstance; and what is needed will be adenuatelv Hnnn I close, as I began, by reminding you of the great tasks and duties of peace which challenge our best powers and invite us to build what will last, the tasks to which we ran address ourselves now and at all times with free-hearted zest and with all the finest gifts of constructive wisdom we possess. To develop our life and our resources; to supply our own people, and the people of the world as their need arises, from the abundant plenty of outfields and our marts of trade; to enrich the commerce of our own States and of the world with the prod ucts of our own mines, our farms, and out own factories, with the creations of our own thought and the fruits of our character this is what will hold our attention and our enthusiasm steadily, now and in he years to come, as we strive to show in our life as a Nation what liberty and the inspira tions of an emancipated spirit may do on a nolirr nf tC , . ,,u lor societies, ior indi- on a polic. of defense.

A powerful Navy we have always regarded as our proper and natural means of defense: and it hns nlwova been of defense that we have thought, own ui aggression or ot conquest. But who shall tell r.s now what sort of a Navy to build? We shall take leave to be strong upon the seas, in thf, f"ture as i" the past; and there will be r.o thought of offense or of provocation in that. Our Ehips are our natural bulwarks. When will the experts tell us what kind we should construct and when they be right for ten years together, if the relative efficiency of craft of different kinds and uses continue to change as we have seen it change under our very eyes in these last few months. But I turn away from the subject. It is not new. There is no new need to discuss it We shall not alter our attitude toward it because amongst us are nervous and excited. We shall easily and sensibly agree up- TWENTY PERSONS KILLED In a town in this State that num bers about. Ave thousand inhabit there have been twenty persons kilM villi tuberculosis in the !at.t tsxt munth!' j T.hv.e" aPPwimateb a hundred other persona in this town who have been maimed on account of the same disease and who will pro ably die within the course of a few months or a few years. In all proba bility this procedure has been goin on for a number of yearn and unless some changes are made it will con tinue,' with a strong probability of larger number of fatalities as the days go by. A very conservative estimate v.ould place the value of these lives with the cost of the funerals, the cost of the sickness of those that are maimed and with the loss of time, etc., inci dent to said sickness, at 160,000.00. If this disease were to destroy $160 000.00 worth of cattle in, that town, something would be doin about it and that quick. A veterinary surgeon would be sent there to examine all of the cattle, to find all that were in fected with tuberculosis and to either kill them or place them in an ooen-air sanatorium where they could get well. At any rate he would segregate them from the well cattle ami stamp the disease out of the town and that in short order. The Southern Railroad runs through this town. If it were to kill twenty people in a year ami maim a hundred others, it would cost the Southern Railroad somewhere between a quar ter and a half million dollars in dam ages assessed by a court and jury, and the strong probabilities are that the law which means the will of the people would require them to t:-ke up the tracks and run around the town. Unfortunately, what is true of this town is to a greater or less extent true of every other town and commu nity in our State. Such a condition demands the imperative attention of legislators, mayors and all serious minded citizens. The rate at which this death-dealing disease is consum ing our inhabitants is alarming and calls for the co-operation of all the people to stamp it out. CHAMBERLAIN'S COTGH REME DY Till: MOTHER'S FAVOIU ITU. "I give Chamberlain's Cough Reme dy to my children when they have colds or coughs," writes Sir! Verne Shaffer, Vandorgrifi, IV.. "It always helps them and is far superior tt any other cough medicine I have used. L advise any ono in need of sQch,,a med icine to give it a trial." For sale by all dealers. THE STAMP ACT iTbe Historical Slamp Plays a New Role If the government can raise mil lions of dollars to meet the deficit caused by the European war; if the government can run its great post office department by the sa;e of stamps, mostly the one and two cent kind; if the street car companies awl the five and ten cent stores of Wool worth and Kress can grow rich 0 nickles, North Carolina can raise a sufficient sum to stamp out tubercu losis in her borders by the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculo sis has placed on sale in the United State9 one hundred and fifteen mil lloil of these stamps to be sold at a cent & piwe. This means that $1,500, 000 will be raised to fight tuberculo sis, in case all the stamps are sold. North Carolina hopes to sell two mil lion Seals and thereby raise $20,000 for the fight. Winston-Salem now leads' in the sale, having placed a. hundred thou sand ami given her order for fifty thousand more. A New Tern lady sold seven thousand in one day; a Hemlersonvillp lady sold three thous and in one afternoon, while a lady in Southern Pines sold a thousand in one morning ami drove to the Sanatori um in her automobile for three thousand more. The outlook for the largest sale North Carolina ever had is bright ar.il promising. "Despise not the day of little things." 15uv vour "share of Red Cross Chii.-umas Seals NOW. fiOHPQ KIDNEYS.
