The members have i been warned, according to informa- tion received from Munich, the laws i of the Fehm:e. including the death penalty, will be applied against "trai- tors," in other words, those giving j information to the authorities to as- gist them in locating army depots. One of the tirst victims is believed i to have been the young Berliner who j revealed to the police the location of i the machine guns, rifles, hand gren ades and ammunition seized in a Ber lin suburb last week and who com mitted suicide to escape, it is al leged, the vengeance of this organi zation. Other concealed stores of this particular lot of arm- which be longed to one of the volunteer anti bolshevik organizations of the army an dwere discarded at entente insis tence, are being discovered, thanks to clues obtained m the first raid. The last cache included 2.000 in fantry rifles stored away IS months ago. Not only the Fehmic court whose methods are vividly described in Sir Walter Scott's "Anne of Geierstein," but also the regular German tribu nals are contributing to dissuade Ger mans from revealing hidden stores of arms. At the trial of four ex-soldiers who were arrested for turning in to representatives of the federal disarmament commission rifles, ma chine guns, etc., from a stock which the officers of a regiment at Prenslau had ordered concealed to avoid sur render to the entente, the prosecut ing attorney laid down the dictum that the court was not concerned with the question whether the offi cers acted illegally in holding out the arms against the disarmament law; that it was up to the entente to find the rifles if it could, and that the ac cused were guilty of stealing in sur rendering the arms to the disarma ment commissioner. The court ac- i cepted the argument and sent the men to prison GOAT AGAINST BEAGLE (Hickory Daily Record) Mr. W. L. Eckard, who was in Hickory yesterday, said that Mr. Roy Stillwell, owner of the champion goat rabbit-chaser, is training two kids to follow their mother's foot steps and is sure they will be able to lead the hounds in jumping, tracking and catching rabbits. A challenge has been issued to Mr. Bob Perry and Mr. James C. Shuford, and if their packs are beaten the three goats will be earned to the Happy Valley, where they will be pitted against Mr. Rufus Jones' great bunch of beagles. Funeral arrangements were re cently made t Greenville, S. C, by an 85-year-old son and a 70-year-old daughter for the burial . of their mother, Jane, Murphy, .a negro, whose age appeared on the official death certificate as 111 years. GOOD ROADS BILL IS KILLED IN THE U. S. SENATE While the North Carolina legisla ture is putting through a $50,000, 000 bond issue for good roads, the Senate of the United States last Fri day killed, so far as this session is concerned, the House bill to author ize a Federal contribution of $100, 000,000 toward the construction of highways during the next fiscal year, says Theodore Tiller, Washington correspondent of the Greensboro Daily News. Advocates of the good roads legis lation in the Senate had a majority, but not the two-thirds majority re quired to suspend the rules and make the $100,000,000 item in order in the postomce appropriation bill. Sena tor Swanson of Virginia, who ottered the biil, will try again during the ses sion to get the measure up separate ly, but the prospect of success is re mote. North Carolina's great roads pro gram was again called to the atten tion of the Senate by Senator Sim mons. Under the Swanson amend ment he said his State would receive a .maximum of not more than $4, 000.000 out of the general Federal fund, while North Carolina was will ing to bond itself for twelve times that amount to promote highways. The debate also produced a sharp colloquy between Senator Moses of New Hampsnire and Senator Sim mons. The latter took exception to the sectional issue raised by Senator Moses, who complained that the Fed eral funds would go largely to the West and South. The Senate's action does not per manently kiil Federal a.d. It indi cates, however, there will be a change :; the method-; of distributing Fed-1 .I'..! funii- among the States.

CANCELLING WAR DEBTS (Asheville Citizen I Apparently the British have no longer hope for the adoption of their proposal of the cancellation of all allied war debts, for in a recent pub lic address m Kntilaiul Austin Chm. Oerii. tin stated that the United States government (referring to the State department in the hands of the Wil- son administration) had refused to consider such a step, so far as the debts of the allies to itself was con cerned. The proposition has been made in this country as well as in England. It was made here on the ground that we entered the war too late to bear our fair share of the cost. The ob vious answer to this is that, though we entered the war late, we spent more money than did our allies with in the given period in order to do oik imngs in a hurry. It may also be remarked that we are to get none of the large material fruits of victory that will be enjoyed by England, r ranee and Italy, and that though it is proposed for Great Britain also to cancel her heavy war debts, she is rich in territorial spoils which we do not share. Under the war acts of 1917 the United States loaned nine and a half billion dollars to its allies, the sums ranging all the way from $28,000 to Liberia to four and one-fifth billions to Great Britain. To France we loaned nearly three billions and to Italy more than a billion and a half To Belgium went nearly $350,000, 000, and less and less sums, decreas ing m the order named, to Russia Czecho-Slovakia, Servia, Rumania, Greece and Cuba. N. C. POSSENGER RATES ORDERED RAISED ARE Railroads in North Ca rnlinn vuoro ordered by the interstate commerce commission Saturday to increase their passenger rates to the level of those in effect in) interstate com merce, to take effect March 29, 1921. The roads were also ordered to reduce the baggage allowance of 200 pounds per passenger to 150 pounds as required by interstate regulations, and to maintain a charge of 15 cents against passengers traveling within the State who board trains without tickets at stations where they could have obtained tickets. In the decision handed down by the commission the lino f nrmimont followed in the New York and other cases was taken. This case was sub mitted by Attorney General Man ning. Briefly it is held that the inter and not the intrastate rates should prevail; that the State allowance of 200 pounds of baggage is discrimina tory and that "fares charsres and bar. gage to remove such undue prefer ence, undue prejudice and unjust discrimination'' shall be prescribed. A GOOD VILLAGE OF MORTIMER BEING REJUVENATED (Asheville Times) Weeds in the main streets of Mor timer, rejuvenated village in the Boone national forest, are now tram pled underfoot. No longer does the moping owl complain at nighttime in the darkness brooding over the hushed wrec k of a once bustling town. For j on the ma.n thoroughfare electric i light b'a.cd forth, yi:;g with moon' and stars. Where on.ee the bungalows, desert- ed soon after the d.-astrous floods of j ll'l't. were used as the stamping! ground ot cows, hogs and chickens, trim dwelling place.- -how the hand of man and woman exerted to re-tore the attractiveness lost by years of neglect ami abandonnn nt. No more will the cows be seen with curious eyes gazing down upon the slovenly yards from the Second story of the emp'y houses a sight not many months prev.ous to be en joyed by chance travelers visiting Mortimer, as attested by officials of the forestry service who reported the incident. For Mortimer has shaken off its morbidity and has became alive. Soon the hum of o,000 spindles in a big new cotton mill will spell pros perity throughout that section. The work of the mill construction is now being pushed. The buildings them selves are almost completed, it is re ported, and the machinery of the cot ton mill is being installed. This week the big i0-foot stack will be raised. The metal tube, contrary to usual methods of engineering, is to tower aloft without a single guy wire to hold it upright. A heavy concrete base has been prepared and five long bolts will be employed to keep the stack in place, say forestry officials returning from that section. The plant is being constructed by the United Mills Company of Hick ory, with indications that by July the construction will be complete, the mill ready to operate. It was with a far-seeing eve that heads of the company purchased the deserted village, .Mortimer, not many months gone past. Mortimer was sold for a song, considering the fact that it had a water system for do mestic use, a hotel, bungalows and cottages, with streets laid out, all the work of the Ritter Lumber Com pany, which cut over vast areas in that section, abandoning the job even before its completion when the floods of 1916 devastated portions of their holdings. -Now Mortimer boasts, besides its lighting system, a storage plant for fire-fighting purposes, with reservoir high on a hill above the town that will ultimately accommodate between 400 and 500 persons, it is estimated. While the plant will begin opera tions with steam power, to which end the boilers are now beiny- installer! the company heads have already ap plied for water rights upon Harper's creek. A preliminary survey of pos sibilities has been made "and two propositions worked out by means of which upward of 600 horse power may be developed not far from the mill site. Forest officials, ro-onprnt. ing with the mill heads, report that! uie water power rights have been recommended to Washington author- ities, with a favorable ed in the near future. . MR.

T. HOLDEN. Lenoir, N. C, Feb. 3, 1821, ' START THE BONUS ON GRAFT (Philadelphia Record) The Senate has voted a bonus of S 'iO to each person employed during the war in shipyards and arsenals, which will amount to at least $17, 000.000. These men were getting the highest wages ever heard of in this country. They were getting 92 cents an hour, because the country was in desperate need of their work and 4,000.000 men had been taken from their homes and put into the army at $:10 a month. Congress is in grave doubt about giving $10 a month for the period of their service ; to the soldiers, but the Senate votes Io a month for two years to the ! men who were making money out of the war. Some people lead a mighty active fe, e ther jumping at conclusions or umping away from them. Clear, Peachy Skin j Awaits Anyone Who !

The attendance has been very good, con sidering the cold weather. Three wildcats were caught by hunters recently. Two were caught by the aid of dogs and one in a trap. Also the following describes the wild cat hunt of Mr. Israel Greene: 'Twas Jan. the 26th day, A deep snow on the ground lay; Mr. I. W. Greene was first you know To see his track made in the snow. He shouldered his gun now for the chase, Followed the track with rapid pace, j On and on, step by step he found How the creature had circled "round; But no, he did not stop the chase He wanted to see his hiding place.

With much joy he pulled him out. and Carried hun home a happy man.
