"Peace, peace, there is no peace" as yet, and in fact a peace treaty seems but little more near completion than it did many moons ago. 0 - The Kaiser now lays the blame for the world war unon noor old Rnssia But the people of the allied nations m my, m mm nave otner ideas, am. - o If we don't have peace by Easter perhaps we may by the Fourth 01 July or next Thankserivinsr. anvwav It would certainly be something to give tnanks for.

Hope they are more effect ive ior the cause than,, were his speeches on the Canadian reciprocity Dili some years ago. 1 . ; HO "- :, ' ' President Wilson is sick, Lloyd yeorge is sick, and it seems to us, as if the entire world is becoming so. The bickerines and secrecv of the peace conference going on in Paris - is enough to make a mule sick. - V y o- ; . - The , Philippine Islands are now v asking Uncle Sam for independence. Seems to us that they have had in dependence ever since the United States liberated them of Spanish rule. But lots of people never know when they are well off. . If the peace conference in Paris don't hurry up and. agree on some kind of peace terms .it may have to make a hurried exit to keep from be ing captured by the Bolshevki. That seems to be growing faster than any thing else just now. 0 With Marse Henry Watterson, Joe Bailey , and a few other Democrats jumping all over Woodrow; with Taft on one side, Lodge and Root on another, and Borah and Sherman still on another in the Republican party, things are looking up in a political way, and the campaign of 1920 promises to be a "humdinger." Frank W. Woolworth, proprietor of a great chain of five and ten cent stores - is dead. He started in busi ness in Utica, N. Y., forty years ago, on a capital of $50.00, and died worth $8,000,000,000. We know of some others who started" about the same time worth thousands of dollars that could not now cash in-' for the $50.00. Madison county is to have a stock ! farm' of vast proportions. E. W. Grove, proprietor of Grove Park Inn. Asheville, has just purchased 40,000 acres in that county, and is going to place 50,000 head of cattle and sheep oh his purchase. Western - North Carolina is yet , destined to be the great stock raising section of the Uni ted States. ; , A bill to allow women to sit in the French chamber of deputies has been defeated by that : body. To bad. Seems to us after all that the women of the world . have just passed through, and the magnificent spirit displayed and the many hardships endured without a murmur, during the great world war, that the women are entitled to an equality - in all things with men. They have certain ly earned the right, even if it was not already theirs. - It is rumored that Governor Allen, of Kansas, wants the cotton growers stopped from holding cotton fori bet ter prices. Don't worry, Governor, these fellows have been holding cot ton for better prices for many months, and the price has steadily de clined. And they;, are the same fel lows, who wanted a price limit set on Kansas wheat, but mercy how; they did howl when the Kansas , wheat grower wanted ' a prjee limit set . on cotton. Result : . the . Kansas wheat erower will receive $2.16 per bushel for 1 his 191 9. wheat crop, while - the cotton grower is going to have, to -take any ; price he can- get for his crop. Moral, obey the Golden Rule. :;v:;- ." - ' Mr. Burleson has raised telegraph rates about twenty per cent. Thus we have another example of the great benefits to be derived from govern ment ownership. The railroads have cost the' people of the United State over two hundred millions of dollars under government control. It is evident ' that .' government control comes entirely 4too high to suit the average American, and we believe that at least seventy-five per cent of the people of the rural communities are opposed to the government, fur ther tinkering with these ideas. Give the railroads, "telegraph and tele phone lines back to the people who own them and know how to operate them. It is clearly to be seen that the United States government is a failure at the operation' of these properties.

' ' , ' x ' - AWES MARi.. WITH MOTOR Circus Performer Acting as Instruc tor Makes Tricks Look Simple. Many a marine rookie has stripped his gears trying to do "setting up" ex ercises under an instructor who was formerly a professional contortionist. Sergeant Joe Mader, who is Instruc tor and motor vehicle expert of the Third company of the signal battalion of marines at Philadelphia, vwas out on the parade grounds recently giving a raw class a few tips on now to ride a motorcycle. For a while he content ed himself with riding across the area with his machine listing at an angle of 50 degrees. Then he raised the front wheel off the ground and rode that way. Turning his machine with an acuteness that skidded hjni allthe way around he started on the return trip. As he approached the awe stricken class he stood up on the seat of the motorcycle and, waving his arms In the semaphore code, signaled "That's all there is to it." . But later they found out that he used to ride around the walls of a tank in a circus sideshow. 1 BANIK : OF ' IUANlblRI&lvr 1 LandrumVS.'C. v U ROY P.
