FEATURE WILL BE BIG SAV ING. Saviag am laterMt k Entire Umi tod Statea WiU B« Nearly 1100,000,000. Waahington, March SO.—Om of the immediate beneftta that will coma with tha o pa ration of tha ayataai of rural cradita will ba thia; :Tha farm era in two statea of North and mouth Carolina will hava tha opportunity of aaving in intaraat rataa on mortgagee naarly ona and ona-half million* of dollara. Tha figure* hava baan com puted by tha farm loan boar! hara. In North Carolina tha preaent vol una of farm loan la 121,005,000. On thia tha praaent rata of intaraat la 7.7 par rant. Tha Unitad States will' land tha money for fi par rant, a Hav ing of 2.4 par cant, or In round num bera $607,000 for tha state. In South Carolina 1244*07,000 ia tha amount of the mortgagee, and the rata of intaraat la 8.4 per cent. T hia will permit a saving of S.4 per cent, or $818,000. When thia ia viewed on a large scale it la found that the Having to the farm era of tha United Statea when they have transferred their present mort gage* from private lendera to tha United Statea government will reach a total of nearly one hundred million dollara a year. This estimate la based on the present farm mortgnge indebt edness of approximntely four million dollars. The uverage interest rate is 7.4 per cent, three-fourths of n cent leas than ia collected on an average in North Carolina acording to the ligurea of the board'a experts. This saving takes no account of the grently in-1 creased volume of business which will result by reason of the reduced inter eat rata. Under tne farm loan act a flat rate of 6 per cent will prevail in every state in the Union. Farmers under thin act are permitted . to borrow money to refund exiting indebted ness, to buy land, to inve»t in live stock to put on the mortgaged land, or to erect buildings, fencing, con- j struct drainage, buy needed machin-j ery or anything which will add to the value of the land or facilitate it* cul tivation. In no other district of the United States are the prospects for the farm loan bank so gout as they are in the Columbia district, which includes North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Today the statement < was made at the farm loan bureau; 1 that North and South Carolina farm ers have been organized better and i have entered intp the system in lar ger numbers than in any other sec- j tion of the country. Within a short i time the plans will be completed, the j banks will be organized, the apprais- j i ers to pass upon the lands appointed i and the system put into organization. Predictions are matte here that it will help reduce the high cost of liv-; I ing and put the farmer on a basis of i independence that he has never known in this country—especially i those farmers who have not had the opportunity or encouragement to de velope their lands and crops.

Knthuaiaam meant originally, "God in ua." I'uul says, "Whether we live, we live unto the Lord." Emcraon: "Every great movement in the annals of the world in the tri umph of enthusiasm." Every great soul among us in full of truth and every truth a blazing torch. Enthusiasm is ever a winner when yoked up with pemeverance. True enthusiasm in like leaven, it spreuds und should permeate the wh«le community. It ia knowledge illumi nated, faith quickened and umbition on fire. An enthusiastic christian is the finest character to b« found in the world, for he is most like hia ideal master, a model of perfection and a divine example of enthuaiaam. Soma one will say that enthusiasm has to do with the emotiona and there fore to be carefully watched lest the emotions lead to exceaa. In all I have had to say I have thought of an en thusiasm born of faith in right prin ciples, baptized in love and risen from purifying fires into the realm of human busy activities which have for their objects the service of hun.anity and the glory of God. Such enthusi asm is worthy of all acceptation and such a life is worthy of such enthusi-j a*m. A worker without active emo tions is dead! It means sympathetic, touch with all that is highest and best in our life on the earth, with the Holy One leading on. Oh, for more sane, sanctified enthusiasm. It is peaceable, calm, pure in prin ciples, but in action it is heroic and as resistless as a mighty river. It will bring you to the goal. Park Mountain, N. C. Germany Will Not Declare War on the United Sfutei.1 r.ei lin, April 3. via London, April 4. —The press report of Vresident Wil son'* "state of war" message reached Berlin at 10 o'clock this morning- It is declared here that there would be no change in the German attitude even if Congress adopted President Wilson's views. Germany will not declare war, nor take any step to wage war against the United States. The submarine war will be continued as it has been conducted since Febru ary 1, but this, declare the officials, is not directed more against the United States than any other neutral. It also is declared that there will be no change in the treatment of Ameri- ] can citizens in Germany, who now have the same freedom as all other neutrals. But Germany expects that the United States will continue the same treat ment of Germans in that country. I Nature Cures, the Doctor Takea the I Fee. There is an old saying that "Nature cures, the doctor takes the fee," but as everyone knows you can help Nature very much and thereby enable it to effect a cure in much less time than is usually renuired. This is particularly true of colds. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy relieves the* lungs, liquifies the tough mucus and aids in its ex pectoration, allays the cough and aids Nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition.

CRUSHING BLOW STRUCK TURKS BY THE BRITISH. Ultimate Objective of the Brit S ish Palestine Force I* Jerusalem. London, March 30.—A crushing blow has been struck to the Turks by the British army in Palestine, adding omi nously to the menace of Jerusalem, ultimate objective of the British. Passing northward along the Medi terranean littoral, the British came in j contact with the 53rd division of Turks ; charged with guarding the approaches to the Holy City. In a ferocious battle j the British inflicted a crushing defeat; upon the Ottomen tiuopo, routing the entire division and taking 900 prison ers. The victory netted them an ad- ! vance of 15 miles from Rafa to tho 1 Wadi Chuzzeh river. Their lines | stretch from a coast point five mile* i below 'he Bible famed city of Caza. straight through westward to the Red sea, where their right flank r?sts on El Challl 40 miles from Jerusalem. Four Austrian officers and 32 Aux triana and Germans of other rank were among the prisoners taken and two Austrians howitiers were im !ud od in the booty. High tribute is paid to the hr.nvoiy of the British troops in the war offica itatement issued today announcing the victory The main purpose of the British ad vance, the report says, was to cover thi> ci in •"(ruction of n railroad which is to facilitate the further advance. The j next objective of the British is the Pity of .'affa, on the Mediterranean 1 roast. Jaffa is the port of Joy as ■ a < ' ' -1 'vith the Holy City by a direct rail. Tax Nofice.
