Terrible not that we are in danger jK'isonally but because it is pathetic to we therhapyou dinel gaily w i t h last night pick p li k' his family good-bye und calmly join his colors. ' All 1 Jighmd has risen as one man.

Xcn rly ev erv able-bo. lied Englishman lias enlisted. They coiiie from all quarters and elates and quiet-' lv and grimly go about the bus iness of war. There is something deadly in the atmosphere which looks as bud for the Kaiser as it diil for Napoleon ln year ago. This will be a tight to the liuish and the impression is that Eng land will not rest until the mili tary power of (ieinany has for pver ceased to bo a menace to the peace of the world. 'The spirit of the French is wonderful. A man just from Par-1 is said he was in the suberbs when the mobilization order was posed. A man passed by on a bi cycle, dismounted, read the no tice and turned to leave. He win presumably a servant and his mistress passing in a car said: "Jean, you won't leave ns at once?' Touching his hat the man said: 'Oui, luadaiue. an revoir, a Berlin!' and off he rode to join his regiment. ''The railways of England have hm taken over by the Govern nn'iit, but ate operated by the existing staff and men. An execu tive committee of general mana gers acts as a medium between tlit War Office and theroadsand issues the necessary instructions f r movements.

The Princess, his suite and about 200 Germans ac rompanied him. It was a pathet ic and historical sight. Many peo ple were on hand. The Ambassa dor and the Princess arrived by motor. They passed between the rows of people to the platform, where the train started off in ab solute silence. There was uot a hiss or a 'boo.' Not a foot mov ed. There was nothing but a deadly, uncanny silence."' Summer Constipation Danger ous. Constipation in Summer-time is more dangerous than in the Fall. YVinteror spring.

So tin," I, ,,f 1 ,. a - iio'ii lie E iripi oii bat tl tl lKal.a!i-i, 'liveiitu the oMinfry. inIi iitt-f two fiiets quite plainly. One o) J these U that the Eiijlih and the ' French troop ha ve Ut-n badly 'defeated by the Germans. The other is that theiv has been n 'dreadful sacrifice of human lives. The fighting has Ui'n at close quarters with the most deadly of modem armaments and lietween thick ranks of soldiers. Well may the pall hang over the capital cities of not only England and France, but that of Germany, al so. The concentrated successes of the German army will bring the allied forces face to face with the serious work before them. The situation so early developed will discount the predictions of those who might have minimized the actual power of Germany as a war Nation. The advantages of military training and efficien cy is having demonstration at the very beginning of the war. But the route of the allied forces for rout it evidently, is was not so complete, nor so demora lizing as was the rout of the Fed eral arniv in the ojjening encoun ter of Hie Civil war. The allies havemelf with reverses through which they may profit by new alignments and new tactics. En ough has develojied to convince the country that the defeat of Germany is a task so gigantic as will tax the resources of all the countries pitted against her and one that must call into play the finest military strategy the world has yet seen. We" wight add a third fact as growing out of the develoment. The expectation that the first battle would be a general ami de cisive one between the mobilized forces did not materialize, and the calculation based on theexjH'cta- t ion for a short war have been considerable upset. Charlotte Observer. BOONE. From east to west, through all the In nd, We hearot weather fair, lint when the tsst in made we find That none exceed this mountain air. We hear of (,'rass and waving grain In oilier landH than ours. Yet we'er always glad to claim 'I'll ih lovely land of HowerH, Some may boast of friends so true, Of boys and girls so fair, But when, elsewhere, all these are few tfo to Boone, you'll thid them there.

Old l'n el Kiiir, pitid-fit of the Tnuisvall. de:iud when Great Biifnii was alsiut ? de clare war on his country, that they might fight him, might whip him and eventually would con quer hirn, but that before they did it it would be a cost that would stagger the world. And Kruger's words were prophetic Great Britain went to war with his country and finally conquer ed it. but the cost was fearful and humanity was appalled at the slaughter. Both the Boer war and the war between the States were but mere skirmishes compared with what is hapiening in Europe today. It is stated that it will cost nt least 100,000 lives for Japan to wrest Kiuo Chow from the Ger mans, and of course the German loss w ill le almost as heavy. Europe is today bathed In a sea of blood the like of which the world has never dreamed. The war is sickening to con template. Homes are being left desolate, and soldiers, going forth to the sound of music, lien ting of drums and waving of ban ners, leave, knowing that they will never again look on the face of their loved ones. Think of the thousands of w idow s and orphans that are be ing made daily by this ghastly spectacle in which the w hole world stands in owe. Would that the Prince of I'euce could spread His guarding wings over tlie wan ing powers and that this inhumanity of the days of bar barism might speedily lie brout to a close. Sheriff Triglett made a raid on a blockade distillery last Wedns duy and captured the still, but the operators got away. We un derstand that the sheriff says his recent tussle with the medi cine and knife at Dr. Long's san- itorium impaired-his strength to such an extent that he was not able to catch the moonshiners, but he is gaining strength daily and will soon be able to cope with them.
