Th« raault ia that tha (larmana ara Iwintf l*dly puniahad and ara Inaing tha hattla. Juat hriw long thia kir.d of fighting ran continue no ona knowa, but it ap paai to moat paopia that (icrmany will not ha ahla to hold out any graft length of time at the praxent rata of loaaa* -ha ia xuatainmg.

J'Mitician have never been rradit ed with iiny more honor than the av erage man p«»- ease*. w< are *orry to uilmit. Ami yet there I* no man who ih willing to admit that all po litician* are to bo dittru^'Jil. The ef fort being in thin district to dis credit Major Stedman tn the. eye* of the voters liecautie of Hik voUi on the hill that increased the MMm DM i* dangerously near s work of ol. hon esty, whether it in in intended or not. Now we have .aid it before ami wdl repeat it, that Major Stedman voted •very time a bm was before the House to increane the pay of the sol diers. One time t-he bill rame before the Houite lo make the pay $30.00 and Major Stedman voted for it. The hill went to the Senate and came back m the form of $25.00 with an increase in pay for active nervwe, and Major Stedman voted for this hill, thinking that it wax the bent bill t':at could be n.' nrrj unon rt that lime. Later the bill came back from the conference committee with the increase for ac tive ervue left out and a Mat rate of S.'to.oo per m« nth provided. Major Stedman voted for thin b 11 which be came a law. and under which the xol diora are now t»eitig paid. Now in the light of all the <• fact ami • ' , . < it* * (r.» m. thi > are peraiatoa'Jy claiming that Majoi f* no* f*»e noMUtr* friend, arid tha' he voted to pay the *oleiier« «>»ly 925.00 per month. Now the If'-si that .>n he aid i« that the re publican new-.paper* and politician, who are mak. r thin ehrrge are onh telling a half • ruth. They are will ing to : a v tlw*t Major ted man vote«j to pay 'h** olrl.fr* but they ar.» not willr g to admit that the arm bill that pa d the 92A.OO per month also provide an increase in pay foi foreign service. Now it would be interenting to hear a ma.; who cl; !m?» t.» be honorable ex plain why he willing to charge that Major Stedman i* not tie friend of the K^idier* mi ti c light of t-he*« fact Whether it i *o n tended or not the effort to ei»:.cred;t Major Sted man on the above grounds is*, or look* to l «-. a piei of political trickery that smacks very much of straight out di*h<-nesty. AEROPLANE COMING To 8VRKY A letter from Major W. Howard commander of the Aviation seh'«>l at Hampton, Va., to Mr. E. M. Linvifle. i f Tuis city r.y^: "An Ae-oplane will (i ret'! hnro arid will make :v ft ht ivpr Mom ■ \:ry on the 1'Hh of O' UtitWr. at noon." \ w the p'-ople of Surry got such 0 <! appointinc l a ,t-ar ait" in the performance of an aeroplane that their confidence is very much shaken in that line of entertnoiment. Anil yet wo think that wc arc safe in say mir thr.t the m: who is in this city 011 1 cxt T ur-ilay, October 10th, will sec c suie c 'oujrh fl*ght. The.<c t.my machine* are supposed to fly without regard to the wenther, let it rain or ihine. The above letter i all the information that we have, but wc art- ;jppor:ng that this machine that is to visit Surry, after attending the Pair at Gree.nboro, come* in the in terest of the Liberty Loan campaign and will take in thin whole section in a flight, leaving Greensboro in the morning. We suppose that it will follow tne line of tne railroad and fly over Winston-Salem, Rural Hall, Pil ot Mountain and on to Mount Airy, posmbly going back by the way of Dobson and Klkin. Now thi* it all supposition or our part, but it ap pears to us to lie the natural thing to do. if the m.«cl.ine is to visit this part of the state in the interest of the Lib ty I.nan. Ami so if you want to see 1 n noroplane fly. and n free show too, ni ke your nrrr 1 trementr to come to tow 1 on next Thursday, and about N00.1 It is our solemn opinion, that you v .11 be bio to go home and say th:it you hnve <»'>1 one aeroplane fly, if you never >ee another one.

She mutt be whipped until the will tign a treaty every word of which will be drawn by the Al lies. Germany mutt not be allowed to dot an i or cross a t Why? Because Germany has become nothing but a robber empire, a merderer empire, an empire every purpose of which is the enslavement of the rest of the world. Such purposes admit of no compromiae. We mutt conquer or die. If we do not conquer we a hall, nevertheless, die—and die slaves Germany began with the intention of robbing France of her iron, her coal, her best land and her great factories; of mak ing Belgium with her rich mines, great dtles and Immense factories a part of Germany; of gaining the Belgian coast, from which she might conouer England, and of combining under her flag the hordes of Mohammedan Turks, and all the Balkan States, so that aha might train soldiers in countless millions, bin Id navies to sweep the oceans, and conquer die world.
