VISIT TO NIAGARA CLASS TOEM PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH RESIGNATION OF MR. BR VAN RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT . B. B. Bui!a, a former Randolph boy, who now lives in Pennsylvania, has recently made a trip to Niagara Falls. In a litter to home fclks he gives the following account of his trip, which will be of interest to those who know him: The clock has just struck ten p. m., but I want to write you before go ing to bed. I am sending you some post cards ar.d folders, giving views of the Falls which I had the very great pleasure of seeing yesterday. I scrib- bled a little about my visit on the cards, while waiting for my train at Buffalo. Even since coming to Bradford, I have been anxious to visit the Falls Now I can say I have seen them and truthfully it was ona great day in my life. As I take my pen here in my room tonight and look back on yes terday's scenes,I become religious in feeling, and am thankful to the ruler of Providence that I was privileged to see this great wonder of nature. I would like very much to describe the cataract to you adequately, but of course, I cannot. However, I will attempt to describe our visit to the "Cave of the Winds." I may exagger ate some for I want to describe my feelings as well as the actual condi tions but I shall stick as nearly ai possible to the truth. Nearly all the people here have been to the Falls, but on asking, I find that only a small per cent, have gone to the "Cave". The truth of the matter is, only a few have the nerve. One man told me today that he had been to the Falls at least a dozen times but had never been to the "Cave of the Winds," and furthermore he did not think he ever would. Now I am not writing this to make a hero of myself, I can't say that I &ro anxious to make the trip again, but I am glod I did make it once. -" - ----.. To make this trip requires a rubber suit. I walked into the dressing pa vilion, asked for a suit, paid the fee, one dollar, went into a booth, pulled off every stitch of clothing, put on a heavy woolen undershirt, stockings and felt shoes, a pair of rubber pants, a rubber coat, and then told the guide I was ready. Four women, the guide, and I made up the party. The women had on pants just like mine and coats like the one I had only theirs were a little longer. Down; tewn, tlown we went, round and round and round the old -winding stairway, known as the Dibble stair way, built in 1827, until we reached an immense pile of loose stone and gravel which had crumbled and fallen from the perpendicular rock walls, nearly two hundred feet high, lining either side of Niagara river. Look ing at the pictures I am sending, you will see the wandering pathway which leads from the foot of the stair way to the cave. Before entering the mist we stopped to look at that great vol ume of water as it took a leap of 167 feet, and with a thunder like roar, dis appeared in the abyss below. As the water left the brink above it seemed to turn into foam or fine spray, white as the whitest snow. I do not exag gerate, I never before knew how white a thing could be or appear. I never expect to see anything as white this side of the "City above." I fell in love with the color (?) To me half the beauty and grandeur of the Falls is the "whiter than snow" appearance of the spray and mist. It was about noon, the sun was a little to our backs. It's rays coming from that direction threw a golden hue on portions of the Falls; rain bows displayed at our feet and the very fountains of my emo tions were stirred. If there is a spot on earth that looks like the hill tops of the glory world, this is the spot. I could sing literally, "Golden sun beams round me play." But T must hasten or we will not get to the cave tonight much less get out. Only a few steps further and we get o;ir first shower bath. The air put in mo tion by the falling water, comes rush ing down th small ravine ever which we are crossing on a wooden foot bridge. My rubber hood is about to be blown off by the violent windstorm. I threw up my hands to tighten it when what seems to be a quart of water, cold as ice, went streaming down my sleeve. However, this first shower lasted only a few seconds and and before we took the next one I saw to it that my hood was secure. Leaving the bridge behind we came to a very large rock, called "The Rock of Ages." At first I took the fame lightly, thinking that it was only nat ural to give each stopping place on ihe famous route to the "Cava of the Winds" some kind of a name. I even thought it was a little sacriligious to have it so named. But standing there in the rock, for we really were in it, the pathway hawing been blasted out through it, and taking in the surround ings, and above all remembering the characteristics and redeeming works of its great namesake the true Rock of Ages I saw and felt the appro- priadness of the same. Perhaps there is to be found nowhere a struc-lutes ture, natural or otherwise, put to such a severe test as is the "Rock of Ages'' 4. T!

In the dim uncertain future, When we are growing old, Will we forget our schooldays And the class of green and gold Or will those days be long remem bered For things we've done so kind and good ? fav others follow our example And do everything as they should Long we have labored and Ftudied, And in these vears we've attained! much In all the subjects we've taken, Arithmetic, Latin, Geometry and such. During all these years of labor, Marriage and death have thinned our ranks; But now, as our goal we have reach ed, For the twelve that are left, let's give thanks. What matter if eleven are girls Since there's so much women can do? In peace, politics and warfare, She is always faithful and true.

COLERIDGE TO CELEBRATE JULY 4 -i - Coleridge is to have a celebration July 3rd. Public speaking, two big ball games, races, and other amuse ments will be s;iven. We have now completed the best bait park that Randolph county has, and it is our intention to give two in teresting ball games on the 3rd of July. You will not make a miss by coming to Coleridge to spend the day. The Tramps Convention, a farce comedy, will be rendered the night of the 3rd by 17 boys. Admission: reserved seats, 25 and 35 cents. Adults, 15 cents; children, 10 cents. Everybody invited. Dr. C. I. Schofield, editor of the fa mous Scofield Reference Bible has written a series of six articles under the title of "Six Simple Studies in Prophecy" or "History Written in Ad vance." About the last of June these articles will begin to appear in The Sunday School Times, an evtry-week religious paper published at Philadel phia, Pa. A three week's free trial of the paper, including one or more of these articles, may be had upon re quest, as long as the supply lasts, if you mention the article wanted. tons upon tons of water falling 167 feet have tried this rock, yet it re mains unmoved and unshaken. Do we not say, "A wonderful illustration of the true Rock of Ages?" Again we take up our journey. The mist is getting thicker, more water is coming down on our heads, the wind storm is increasing, and so great is the noise that my lady companion and I have to lihout into each other's ears to be heard at all. Suddenly as though nature saw we needed a little respite before entering upon the worst section of our journey, we come to an opening. The mist blew away, the wa ter ceased to come down on us, the sun come out to warm ' our heads, rainbows played at our feet again Looking up we saw the crowd far above us watching our progress. Be coming warmed up from the chilling effects of our last deluge,, tight ening our hoods, and giving a final wave to our friends above, we turned and faced the snow-white, thick clourm of mist ahead of us. Soon I can see nothing but a bit of the hand rail and the pant legs of my lady friend. On we go. It gets worse, the wind, coming from every direction, has in creased to a terific hurricane. We must now be in the "Cave," but we cannot see and no one can tell us for the noise is that of a thousand thun ders. Now let me give you something. Just imagine yourself blinded by wa ter thrown into your eyes, a wind' storm raging bo fiercely that you had to hold for dear life else you would be blown away. Pounds and pounds of water falling on your head and shoulders, a noise, I can safely say, many many times greater than the loudest thunder peal you ever heard, the pressure on all sides so great that you felt like every bone in you would ! be shivered I say imagine all this if you can and you will get some idea of how I felt. For an eternal five min we felt our way through this I place. Then quickly emerging we found ourselves in the beautiful sun- 1 t . . 1 T ugnt once more, unu i was g'au. (Roy Cox.) Even since the Gulflight, a ship flying the American flag at its mast head, was sunk by a German subma rine there has been naturally consid erable discussion throughout this country, regarding the proper respect that should be shown to our flag by foreign nations. American patriot ism is always stirred when some in sult is offered to "Old Glory." Only last summer nineteen American sail ors sacrificed their lives in a demon stration designed to make a revolu tionary president of Mexico fire a sa lute to the flag. At the same time there were a dozen millions of men at home who would have done the same thing under the same circumstances. But how many American citizens show proper respect for the flag at home? All over this country there are buildings over which the Stars and Stripes are wont to float. As a rule, however, no one can raise his eyes to these lofty flag poles and feel his breast expand with patriotic pride. There is a good reason why this si so. When one gazes upon the tat tered and torn pieces of bunting flap ping in the breeze, so faded and weath er-beaten as to be almost unrecogniz able, there is little response in the breast of the aforesaid person. No tice these flags wherever you may and unless they have recently been unfurled to the breeze they are fray ed around the edges and showing the effects of the ravages of the weather. The cause for this condition of these flags is simple. After the bright new piece of bunting is flung to the breezes it is forgotten. No matter how strong the cloth might be it can not stand the ravages of the weather long. First it becomes frayed at the edges then slowly but surely flaps it self to shreds. During' this process it naturalli loses s'l color and becomes merely a dirty piece of rag . Such neglect of the flag is not only disrespectful from the standpoint of patriotism, but it is also expensive. Flags cost money and it is throwing away money to let a flag stay out in the weather until it goes to pieces. Certain rules regarding the treat ment of flags have been laid down by the United States government. One of these rules is that the flag shall be hoisted every morning at sunup and lowered every evening: at sunset. This rule is observed at army posts and on some Federal buildings, but not much on other public buildings. Of course it is not expected that managers of public buildings should go as far as that, but they could have some reguraT employee a part of wUj&ge duty should be to see that the flag was properly cared for. This would not onlv be na- triotic, but also economical. While our patriotism is stirred when some foreign nation is disre spectful to the flag, and our righteous wrath begins to vent itself, we should remember that we do not regard the flag at home with that deference that is due the emblem of the sacred rights of the American people. It is for us, then, as citizens of the great est nation in the world to practice at home what we preach to Germany and Mexico, and to any other nation that may conduct itself in the same manner as Germany is doing and as Mexico has done.

Bryan, Secretary of State, from the Cabinet of President Wilson Those who know Mr. Bryan best will be at no loss to understand his posi tion. He is a profound believer in the doctrines of conciliation that are env bodied in his chain of peace treaties that international differences should be submitted to arbitration, and that delay in action is a healer of differ ences. The events in the great -ind unhappy war drama have seemed to sidetrack for the time being Mr. Bry an's doctrines, but they have not De come unimportant in the large per spective. He will be longest remem bercd because of broad foundations which he has helped to lay, and to which the world will grow. He has stood by his convictions at the ex pense of his place in President Wil son's Cabinet, and the thinking peo ple of the United States will respect him for it. He has been consistent with himself. No less consistent is the President of the United States and no less thoughtful in a trying time. The two men do not differ in their purpose to serve the highest interest of this coun try and of the world. They disagree on a line of immediate action. Mr. Wilson, slow moving, but firm in his march, has reached the conclusion that the United States must insist that its rights under international law be re spected. To this point the communi cations between the two governments had led up. The country has seen this and will stand behind the President, as it will do now. He made his demand of Germany with full consideration of the scope and possibilities of the doc ument. He has followed the logic of the situation thus created, and would make the United States the defender of the legal rights and privilges of neutrals. Thus the executive and his secretary of state came to the parting of the ways. The one desires peace as much as the other. In view of the fact that all the world is a spectator, it is un fortunate that this break should have been reached. It will be held to reveal a division in the councils of this gov ernment, though none in the continui ty of its leadership, for the President sits at the head of the table. It has been apparent for some time that President Wilson has taken a controll ing hand in the conduct of our foreign affairs. His is the responsibility, and he has assumed it at this time, believ ing the firm straightforward way to be the one best calculated to achieve results important not only to this country but to humanity. Editorial in Springfield Republican. A curious aspect of the case is 1hat Mr. Bryan has had to bear the brunt of pro-German criticism. Thus a cor respondent of the Frankfurter Zeit- ung wrote some months ago: "Presi dent Wilson is less to be held responsi ble for a certain healthy unneautrlity which shows itself in many measures, than Secretary Bryan. The latter has already done things on former occa sions which his chief disavowed later." This representation of Mr. Bryan as the malevolent force perverting this country from what Germans consider proper neutrality is only to bs equaled in absurdity by the denunciation of President Wilson by some British to nes secretly pro-German. Both men, however their courses have diverged, have been alike in sincerity of their desire for a strict neutrality. Germans in their franker moments admit that they are not good at politics; their grotesque misunderstanding of Mr. Bryan should be a hint that they have eually misunderstood the ideal-, and temper of the administration.

Cranford, who recently re signed his position as road superin tendent over the chain gang, is thank ing all who showed him kindness while he was in the county. He has returned to Randolph county, where he expects to farm and take care of an aged father and mother. He has done this at a sacrifice, but his good deed shines out the more clearly on this account. Mr. Cranford is a thor ough-goiag fellow in whatever he does. He told one of his friends here oi a nard struggle that he went through while building the Albemarle to Badin road, to make a man of him self morally. The fact that he ceased to be profane, and did away with all profanity and card playing on the gang, is indicative of the man's chang ed life. Some of the men under him almost worshipped him. Recently negro, whose time was out, refused to leave the camp because he found life worth while with Mr. Cranford. A white man, whose term on the gang expired before the superintendent re signed, detrmined to remain with his boss, and is now helping Cranford farm. Albemarle Enterprise.
