PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY WM. C. HAMMER, EDITOR Asheboro, N. C, July 15, 1915 THE GERMAN REPLY Again the Imperial German Govern- ment has replied to an American note; but. as in the former instance, nas evaded the real issue at stake in con nection with the sinking of the Lusi tania and the submarine warfare. In this latest note, the Germans make few promises. They give as- BuriH.co. First, that American ships will not f be interfered with when engaged m legitimate trade, nor the lives of( Americans be endangered when on i neutral ships. . J Second that German submarines j will be instructed to allow American passenger ships to pass freely and j safely, Germany entertaining turn the confident hope that tne American. Government will see that. these shirs do not carry contraband; euch ships to be provided with dis-! tu , "F , j 4i.;. ,-iai tinguishing marks and their arrival, announced a reasonable time in ad- vance. The same privilege is ex- tended to a reasonable number ot i i ,i.. iv.iG. M. York, work at Co. H, neutral passenger ships under the John R Cq American flag, and should the mim- M M Routh, mdse, Co. H ber of ships thus available for pas- uenger service prove inadequate, Germany is willing to permit Ameri ca to place four hostile passenger Bteamers under the American flag to ply between North America and Eu rope under the 6ame conditions. However, the main contentions of the American note have not been ans wered at all. The principal contention of this lat est German note seems to be an effort to place the blame for loss of lives on the Lusitania on England, it being claimed the British Government re puidated all rules -of international law and disregarded all rights of neutrals by declaring the North Sea, efn.n;n and capturing vessels, thus paralyz ing peaceable traffic between Germany and neautral countries and forcing the Imperial German Government to re taliate. The German press is reported to elated at the reply, and declares that this means submarine warfare will go on unchecked. London is asking, "What will Amev s j? ,t.a TTnrrUcVi nsinpra refer to v,e r. Arm an renlv as " an amazing I " . , . , ,v offer," "impudent, claims, hypocnt- ical reply." On the whole, the American press is dissatisfied with the reply. FromjW. J. Scarboro, 3 days mem- North and South, the sentiment of dissatisfaction is strong except, where German-American influence is felt.C.

LA FOLLETTE SAYS WILSON WILL BE RE-ELECTED . .. .. r . -i ' Declares rresiaeni is urowinR uuj, In Popularity and Strength. ' Senator La Follette, who delivered his address in Statesville "JRepre-1 tentative Government," before the Chautauqua, gave the Statesv ille Daily Star an interview. In the ! course of this interview, referring to the next national campaign, he says r President Wilson will be re-nominated , ana re-eiecieu. . " l" growing in popularity and strengtn. in regard to tne Kepumic an no.r tion the Senator says that if the party selects as standerd bearer a stand-j patter," ,t will mean a Btil I worse , wrecking of the party. The Senator! cays that tne great war in P will leave all nations engaged mi' poverished for years to come, and! that while some interests and men in this country will make money out of , the war, it is in the end bad for; America. A spurt of prosperity at first, the foreign ireasury will be too! exhausted to go far, and America will have to finally lend a helping band. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Old Fogy Gives an Instance to Show Bad Manners Mr. Editor: Apropos the Chautauqua: you can not expect an old fogy to keep up with these fast times, and I reckon that he should not expect himself to do so; but years ago, in fact when I was a boy, it was taught that when people went to a public entertf inment they should not talk or make a noise when any piece of vocal or instrumen tal music was being rendered or any recitation or address was given; that ., . . ..j . . . those present who did not wish to listen were required by common polite ness to refrain from laughing and talking or doing anything that would jVT, f " ... -.y. disturb or annoy those who did wish to listen or that would annoy the per- former or speaker. But of course all that is obsolete and one who does not even keep in sight of the procession, let alone keep ing up with it, does not know what is what in these times, and what was taught him in his youth are clear out of date, and ara only the ideas of an Old Fogy.

The lawyers alone appear to have come out at the Htti end of the horn, because a compro mise was effected too early in the came to suit them, and we understand it was reached without the consent of the attorneys in the case. By the compromise the Democrats retain the office of Sheriff, while the Bepubli- 'cans win the office of Curk of Super- r,t . r0,j 1 0f County Commissioners, j The compromise came as a surprise to those who had been keeping up with the hearing at Asheboro, as it looked u W(wld u waged . y.e Djtter end. the Republicans j seemed determined to prove that their ; Democratic opponents had stolen the election last fall, while the Democrats seemed equally determined to vintn cate themselves. But the warring political parties in Randolph appear to have more sense than the warring Nations of Europe. Before the first week of the war in Asheboro had end ed the contending forces evidently realised that the expense of complet- APPORTIONMENT OF SCHOOL FUND The following is the maximum sal ary fixed by the Board of Education for each school district per month for a term of at least four months. The committeemen cannot contract for more than this amount unless the same is made up by private subscrip tion, donation or otherwise. In case the district has a special tax, this amount may be exceeded by as much as is necessary to secure an efficient teacher, provided the school term shall be at least four months be sides the extra month from the State.

At this distance there seems to be little doubt but that there were some irregularities in the Randolph election but as the Asheboro correspondent of the Charlotte Observer points out, "whether they were the part of a pre arranged plan as charged by the Re publicans, or the work of over-zealous partisans naturally would not be de cided in a civil suit." At any rate, it seems to us that neither side has anything to gloat over In the outcome of the hearing, since both sides seemed entirely will ing to compromise. In the compro mise the Democrats certainly obtained a political advnntage by securing th office of Sheriff. When it comes to nlavirar the game of politics the Sher iff's office is worth more to the party than all the other county offices.

WILL ELECT TEACHERS Dear Committeemen: According to section 4161 of the Public School Law, it is the duty of the school committeemen of each town ship, and the county superintendent to meet at some appointed time and place in every township in the county, to employ teachers for the various districts. Below you will find a cal endar of the times and places as con venient as I know how to arrange for all the committeemen to meet with me in order that when a teacher is employed, there will be no misunder-! standing after the contract. It is necessary that all teachers either file with the committee or me, a written application, or they may appear in nerson. and apply. I hope each com mitteemen and teacher will be prompt In attending to this. I would suggest that no contract be signed until after these meetings. Do not employ teachers whom you do not know, or until you know what grade of certifi cate they hold. By this plan, we can easily get tne most efficient teachers in the best schools of the county. I believe this a good system if followed out proper ly. I will meet the committeemen at the times and places named below: Trinity, July 21st, 9 a. m, at Trinity high school. New Market, Juiy zisi, d p. m., at Marlboro school house. Providence, July 22nd, 9 a. m., at Providence school house. Libertv. July 22nd, 3 p. m., at lid- erty high school building.

Mills, died Wednesday night, June 30, 1915, at her home in North Asheboro, after an illness of about four months of pellegra. Mrs. Mills was a kind and good neighbor and a devoted mother, and to know her was to love her. Before she died, she told them that she loved everybody and asked us all to meet her in heaven. Our friend and mother will be great ly missed in the home, but we feel sure our loss is heaven's gain. Weep not dear children, as those who have no hope. For we know our friend and mother is in heaven where she will never know sickness, sorrow and pain. She leaves four sons and two daugh ters to mourn the loss of a devoted mother. They are as follows: messrs. Harvey and Luther Mills, of Greens boro; Claud Mills, of Danville, Va.; Seymore Mills, of Asheboro; Misses Maud and Evie Mills, who resided with her till her death. The remains were laid to rest Sat urday in the Gray's Chapel cemetery to await the resurrection morn, when "The dead in Christ shall arise." We miss thee mother in our home, A voice we love is still, A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled. Good by, dear mother, you're only gone before; we hope to meet you through Christ, on that celestial shore. The death angel has robbed our home of the dearest treasure, mother, but memories sweet of by-gone days, in our hearts will live forever. The funeral was conducted by Rev. R. E. Powell.
