C., Dec. 12 Members of the House of Rep resentatives will be called upon to take definite stands on nation al prohibition and woman suff rage as a result of action today by the Rules Cbmmittee. It was decided to report special rules for consideration of constitutional amendments on both subjects. Yea and nay votes will be requir ed. C lairman Henry said the rule cn the licbson prohibition resol ution would be presented Decem ber 22 and after eight hours de bate would be pressed to a vote. The suffrage resolution he said will follow immediately. The action of ths committee was taken as evidence that Democrat ic leaders were determined to limit the holiday to a recess of tiro cr three days. Prohibition and suffrage sup porters immediately began to line up their forces for the coming encounter. Representative Henry issued a statement saying he would vote against both of the proposed amendments. It gen erally was predicted that the special rule would be passed, as a majority vote only is required. Opponents of the two amend mentr, however, were confident that neither of them would have the necessary two-thirds major ity on the final vote. Tne prohibition amendmenc would forever prohibit "the sale, manufacture for sale, transpora tion for sale, importation for sale, and exporation for sale of intox;cating liquors for beverage purposes in the United States and all territory subject to the juris diction thereof.-' Tne suffrage proposal declares thif the right of citizens to vote si al not be denied or abridged cn a count of sex.

Another mass meeting was held Sunday afternoon in the interest of securing an Associa tion for Charity work in Hickory. Dr. J. L. Murphy presided, and called upon Mr. A. K. Joy for a report from the board of direc tors on a suggested plan of or ganization. Mr. Joy submitted the following plan as adopted by the board of directors at the meeting Sunday December 6: "The organization shall be known as the Associated Chari ties of Hickory. "The object of the organiza tion is to systematize the work of charity through an organiza tion that is prepared to thor oughly investigate all cases of destitution reported to them. It has been the experience of sim ilar organization elsewhere that organized effort results in far greater good than indiscriminate giving. The business man. or individual, when approached for alms has no time for investiga tion, and yet is reluctant to re fuse what may be a legitimate case of destitution. With an active Associated Charities or ganization in this city, all cases may be referred to the proper officers, and the case given imme diate attention; in tact it means not only more efficient help to the needy, but protection as well to our people in safeguarding thpm fraudulant de mands for assistance. "A president, 1st vice presi dent, secretary, disburser and treasurer, shall constitute the offices of the organization. "The duties of the president and vice president shall be the same as that performed by them in all organizations. "The treasurer shall rece've all cash donations and pay all bills. "The disburser shall collect all donations, money, food, etc. "The d:shurser shall act as dis tributing agent, as well as per sonal investigator of all cases re ported to him. "The board of directors shall consist of the pastors, one gen tleman and one lady from the churches of Hickory. They shall have complete control over all the work of the organization, and may delegate any or all of this power to an Executive com mittee of their own selection." At a meeting Sunday, De cember 13, at 2:30 p. m. the board of directors appointed an executive committee to consist of the officers of the organization and recommended the following gentlemen as officers: President—C. H. Geitner First Vice President—Rev. J. D. Harte. Second Vice Piesident—J. D. Elliott Secretary —A. K. Joy Disburser—C. C. Bost. Ireasurer-i-Dr. W. H. Nichol son. Upon rrfbtion the report of the committee was adopted as a whole and a vote of thanks was tendered the committee for its efficient work.

Mar shall, president of the Associa ted Charities Organization in Johnson City, Tenn., in which he outlined the work of their Or ganization in that city. The tenor of all the remarks showed great gratification at the launch ing of this Organization. The active work was ordered to be gin Monday morning of this week. Pledge cards are being distributed in which donors are requested to pledge a certain amount for the four winter months, December, January, February and March. In addi tion, hangers have been prepared to be placed in store-rooms, stat ing that the occupant of these store-rooms and offices are mem bers of the Associated Charities Organization of Hickory, and all applicants for relief are referred to the distributing agent, of this Organization, Mr. C.

Keeping the Dollars at Home. Ten years ago a Farmer put his initials on a Dollar Bill. The next day he went to the nearest town and spent it with a Mer chant. Before the year was out he got the Dollar Bill back. Four times in six years the Dollar came to him fot Produce, .and three times he heard of it in the pockets of his Neighbors. The last time he got it back was four years ago. He sent it to a Re tail Mail Order House. He has never seen that Dollar since, nor never will. That dollar will never pay any more School or Road Tax for him, will not build or brighter any cf the homes of the community. He sent it en tirely out of the circle of useful ness to Himself and his Neigh bors. Husband Not Sober Since 'B4, Wife Says.

FOREIGN VESSELS DISREGARD LAWS Goethals Wants Destroyers |o Force Obedience totheße-f gulations of the Canal. Fanama, Dec. 13.—C01. Geo. W. Goethals, Governor of the Panama canal zone, announced today that his request that two Bwilt American torpedo boat di stroyers be stationed at the en- i trances of the canal was prompt ed by recent activity of warships i and colliers of the belligerent l European nations in the vicinity , of the waterway. The action of the Australian collier Mallina in leaving Balboa without clearance papers and the fact that other colliers have shown a disposition to disregard canal zone shipping laws convin- 1 ced Col. Goethals that decisive measures should be taken to pre- , serve the neutrality of the canal. Nearly all the colliers in canal waters arrived vithout health j certificates and in several instan ces sailed without clearance pa pers. It is presumed the steam ers met and coaled the Australian : and English fleet which concen trated recently in the vicinity of the Pearl Island, which lie "suily miles southeast of Panama City. The torpedo boat destroyers requested by the Governor are expected to do patrol duty and overhaul billigerent crafts at tempting to disregard the canal , regulations. f, Alleged violations of the canal . shiping laws are said to have been the subject of complaint If Sir Claude C. Mallet, British mi& ■ ister to Panama, and also resuU* . ed in orders that the fortifies- i tions prevent unneutral colliery : remaining in porta on the zone Hi disregard of the orders of canal r j authorities. In the case of tfatfc collier Malhna it i 3 stated thaj; she arrived without clearance papers or a health certificate aniit with no coal or supplies. She at tempted to buy $3,000 worth of supplies, consisting largely of articles intended for Christmas dinner for a large force. She was refused the supplies and was ordered to depart .because she refused to state her destination, as required by the canal zone laws. The collier Protesilaus is pointed to as a similar case. It is stated that there has been much wireless interference in canal waters on the part cfeight co'lier?, which recently were in the vicinity of the canal and also by a large warship fleet reported to be within 25 miles of both ends of the canal.

Mitchell, who has been with the Catawba Cream ery here for some time, was awarded the medal at tne 1914 Dairy Show at Chicago, 111., for the best butter exhibit from North Carolina. This goes to show that Mr. Mitchell knows his business, and is making a great success of the creamery The Confederate Soldier and Prof. G. W. Hahn's Book To the Editor: At each annual reunion the de crease in number tells how fast the Confederate Soldiers are : passing away. I f gushing speech es and monuments would make ,us all happy we would be, as it I were, in a Revival all the time. We do all enjoy good sincere speeches ana we do appreciate monuments, when they come from people who love the old comrades. We all like kind words of sym pathy, but there are many old veterans and families of fallen confederates who are in need of more substantial help. As far as I am individually concerned, J have never received a penny of pension, and will be very much surprised if I ever do. "Blessed are they who 'spect nothing, they shall not be spinted." Judge Clark, in several of his speeches, has stated from facts and figures that North Carolina, (not to mention other Southern States,) ha 3 paid ti the United States Pension Fund since the war many millions of dollars. He gives this fact as one reason for [advocating the placing of the few remaining Confederates on the U. S. Pension Roll. Some patriotic Confederates have said that tbey would*not accept it If it was offered to them. However there are many who would accept it as a matter of justice and right since our people ;>ave helped so largely to create the fund. Don't get alarmed, my comrades, there is no danger of it being offered to us. The best way of all would be for North Carolina to pension her* Confederates. That would be the very best speech, and monument that could be given them, - Mr. Editor, excuse me, I have gotten away from my subject. Perhaps my introduction will be longer than my communication. PROF. G. W. HAHN. Comrade Hahn was a Confed erate soldier and was severely wounded. Nearly fifty years after the war he undertook to write a history or sketch of every soldier from Catawba County. He dis- tent accountant be employed by the chairman to audit books of the retiring officers, to work un der direction of the board. G. E. Buff, a lunatic was or dered confined in county jail.

TUESDAY'S SESSION. Schott&McCoullough of Char lotte, were employed to audit the books of the retiring officers and make an inventory of the proper ty of the jail and and county home and reporters of road supervisors and all other matters pertaining to county affairs. Their compensation was fixed at $25 per day. W. S. Stroup was appointed to visit county home to take inventory of all property and furnish information to the auditors and J. S.

The Register cf Deeds, Treasu-I rer and Clerk of Court were au thorized to purchase necessary stationery for their offices.

Democrat and Press Consolidated 1905 here. He informs us that he is making about 1600 pounds of butter every day and is able to find ready sale for same. Mr. Mitchell wants a cold stor age plant in connection with the creamery in order to tike care of that amount of butter which he cannot find ready sale for, and we think it is the very thing needed. covered that the work should have been done thirty years soon er, so many had passed away and it was hard to get the people in terested enough to furnish the necessary information. People are willing to commend the vete rans, but when it comes tD lend ing a helping hand it is different. It sounds mighty good tu hear someone sav, "Go it Prof. Hahn. may you have great Qsucceps," but it is much better when it is backed up by a helping hand. Comrade Hahn published a splendid book under the circum stances. The truth is it is ex cellent and should be in every home in Catawba County. Con federate soldiers, (if they are financially able,) should give copies of this to their child ren. The book has 335 pages and the short dedicatory tribute to the comrades' widows, mothers and children of our country, by the author, is worth the price of the book. Comrade Hahn, has several hundred copies of the book left unsold. He is in trou ble. my friend, and now is the time to help him. Go to work and help sell the books, and there by aid our comrade who says he is "Down and out." I desire to thank Dr. J. L. Mur phy for his interest in the matter, and atso thank the newspapers for publishing his letters. Let every patriotic man and woman in Catawba County sell one or more copies of the book. Friend, leave off some Christmas present and invest the money in this book. The failures in the book must not be attributed to the author, but to the people who failed to furnish him the information. I will agree to sell at least one dozen copies. Who will follow this example? Don't all speak at once but write to Prof. G. W. Hahn, Hickory N. C., and lend a helping hand. The towns in our county should purchase this book for the nice things said of them. MILES O. SHERRILL. Late of Co. A, 12th N. C. Regi ment, War of 1861-65.

Pittsburg, Dec. 12.—A pebble found in Beaver County caused Dr. A. E. Ortmann, scientist of Carnegie Museum, to predict to day that a thousand years from now Niagara Falls will be dry, The pebble in shape resembles a small beetle. The odd little stone led Dr, Ortmann to consider the "oscilla tions" pf the earth's surface. The "oscillations" led him to a particular "oscillation", which, he said, is raising the northeast end of Lake Erie and sending its water to the southwest instead of toward Niagara Falls. The ultimate deduction—the drying up of the great waterfall—is scientifically simple, he declared. As a result Lake Erie will empty through the Miami River instead of the Niagara. - • Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. Rev. J. H. Wannemacher, pastor Sunday School, 9:45 a. m.
