It now seems that war bet ween the Uuited States and Mexico is iminant. Carranza, the P r e s i dent of Mexico, has demanded of President Wilson the immediate withdrawal of our.troops, now in Mexico in pursuit of the bandit Villa and his followers who com mitted the ternbla depredations at Columbus. New Mexico. Tree ideot Wilson, whohas.duiiiifrbis entire administration, tried to avert any serious trouble with Mexico, has sternly refused to comply with the demands of the bewhiskered Chief Execu tive of Mexico, and has caused to be mobilized for protection along the border, the miltia in the various States, which means approximately 300,000 trained men, who can be called into im mediate action, should thede fac to government of Mexico decide to try to expel our soldiers from that territory. Lumber for bridg es to span the Rio Graude, has been rushedjto the border to be us ed for transporting into Mexico, our men, horses, artitillery, etc So it is now up to Mr. Carranza to say whether or not two great republic shall be engulfed in war. The thoughts of war are indeed repulsive and norruying to our people, but at this time forbear ance has ceased to be a virtue, and if war must come, the Uni ted States is ready. Both of the National Conven tions are now things of the eter nal past, and, as candidates for the Presidency, probably two of the best men to be found within the bounds of the United States has been chosen, and now the great battle for ballots at the November election is on. The record, of President Wilson for a little more than three years, is an open book to the country and all the Democrats and some of the Republicans will gladly support him for a second term, thinking that as he has, thus far, steered the old Ship of State clear of the rocks of foreign entanglements it would be running too great a lisk to change the Chief Execu tive at this crucial period. The Republican nominee, Justice C E. Hughes, resigned from thnSu preme court bench of the United ' Stales, and twice governor of the great State of New York, is deci dedly the strongest man the par ty could produce. He is a man of marked ability, and we have yet to see the first charge preferred against him, even by the most strenuous Democratic papers, Out even admitting that he is the equal of his opponent in many respects, would it be the part of wisdom for the people of the Uni ted States to elect him President when the legislation enacted by the present administration has brought unprecedented prosperi ty to this country, and the splen did diplomacy of Woodrow Wil- son having, thus far, kept us out of the European war? Verily not. We have often said, and repeat it again, that if Col. Roosevelt were president, and had done for the people of this country what Y il son has, we would vote for him, regardless of the fact that we have always considered it a very great privilege to vote the entire Democratic ticket from township constable up to President. This is one time, assuredly, that every American citizen should study well the situation before casting his ballot. It seems to us that the defeat of Wilson at this time, would not only be a na tional but a world-wide calami ty. Miss Verlie Winkler, who has been engaged in the milinery bus iness in Charlotte for several months, is at the home of her pa rents, Mr. and Mrs. James L. Winkler, near the village, where she will spend her summer vaca tion. BLOWING ROCK BREEZES. 1 ' Lost Sunday the Episcopal church was open in the morning, and at night the Baptist church, good congregations in atten dance upon both services. On Saturday night Rev. Walter Adams preached in the Reading Room, his sermon an earnest message to the sinner, his re marks based upon 14 chapter of John. Brother Savage presided at the organ. On Saturday afternoon the chil dren had their monthly play in the Reacting Room, entertain ment committee: Mrs. 'John S. Williams, Miss Marjory Williams and Miss Alma Beufield. Mrs. D. M. Ausley of States vilTe accompanied by her daughter, Miss Mary and a friend, Miss Love of Statesville arrived last week at the Carter Cottage which the Ausleys have rented for the ssason, and are a welcome addi- i A 1 1 I t lion to me cnarming summer colony here. Miss Julia Henderson, one of Globe's fair daughters, is with Miss Thompson at her summer camp for girls, Miss Thompson having purchased the former Walter Winkler home on South Side, overlooking the beautiful valley of the John's. A Tribe of Lone Scouts is be ing formed by the boys on the Cone Estate, led by Paul Greene, the first Lone Scout hereabout being Claude Buff, son of our val ued townsman, John Buff, Esq., Claud having joined soon after the order was established, in Oc tober 1915 by W. D. Boyce, the uewspaper man of Chicogo, who organized in 1910 the Boy Scouts of America and thought up this new order which any boy can join taking the three degrees with slight effort, no expense and much good to himself and others, the Lone Scout motto "Do a usefu thing each day." Claude Buff, Blowing hock, will answer in quiries regarding this excellent ordr, the official organ of the organization being 'Lone Scout an interesting and instructive ll lustrated paper for boys whether Lone Scouts or not. Mr. and Mrs. Millard Crump, a worthy couple of the Rocky Knob neighborhood, were in town on Monday and reported quite a party of cherry-gatherers at their home last Saturday, among them Mr. and Mrs. Frank Estes o John s River and Mr. Jonathan Walters ot this town. Correspondent is in trouble a- gain, having mentioned in rath er complimentary words a cer tain young man of this town whose modesty is commendable; for, when he saw his name in print he was so mortified that he swore an oath and vowed ven geance on poor old correspon dents head, at least so "tie boys" tell it, butyou know "boys will be boys" and don't always stick closely to the unvarnished truth when a departure there from will make a joke sound more attractive. Mr. John Ford, an enterprising citizen of the growing settlement of Bailey's Camp, has taken in partnership our George E. Cof- ley, and together have opened a fine repair shop on Palmer Street to be known as the Ford and Coffey Garage, where all kinds of automobile repairing will be done the firm having recently put in a water tank with outfit for wash ing cars and buggies. Our esteemed citizen, John P. Cox, Esq. has just recovered from quite an attack of indisposition, but is now able to be at his black smith and wheelwright shop on Benfield Avenue where all work in his lino is done well at reason able rates, his son Hill assisting him. Our young friend, Fred Ben field, after an absence from town has returned, much to the de light of his many friends, indeed "Fred." is a great favorite with everybody. Our expert cabinet-maker, Le royS. Bollinger, ex-postmaster of this town and veteran of the jSpanieh-American war, has just, "UNCLE JOE." , There used to be a familiar fig ure at Blowing Rock, in Watau ga county, N. C, one which, since it has ceased to move in and out among us, has been missed sadly not alone by residents but sum mer visitors as well, who, the next season after Uncle Joe's death felt "lost without the dear old man," the place "not the same now," one "charming char acter left out of the book of Blow ing Rock's present day doings," etc., etc., until we, who, were so accustomed to the stout figure of our "grand old man," the broad-brimmed hat shading the beaming countenance which look ed satisfaction behind the clouds of ascending smoke issuing from long-stemmed clay pipe we, who were accustomed to the presence of dear Uncle Joe Clark and his faithful wife, "Aunt Lou," as everybody called her, failed to appreciate fully the especial bles sing of their presence until they had gone, the one to the Spirit Land where he awaits the Resur- l-ection Day, the other to distant relatives who "wanted the dear lonely soul to live with them the remainder of her days." Joseph Bogle Clark, a descend ed of Daniel Boone, inherited some of the sturdy qualities of that brave pioneer and was look ed upon as not only an upright man and mason but, in bis daily want acting as sucn. t ew men loved masonry as did Uncle Joe, few knew it as thoroughly as he did, few were as eager for the or der to grow and be in th6 com munity a power for good, be cause he loved not only masonry but Masons, setting all an ex ample of what a true Mason should be, Always at the post of duty, never discouraged be cause some took but little ap parent interest in Masonry, he attended Lodge regularly, no matter what the weather might be, in storm of rain or snow, wnetner cold or warm, u one would climb the steps of the Lodge Room he would find "dear Uncle Joe" as he is yet affection ately spoken of, sitting by the stove, pipe in mouth, clouds o! smoke issuing from beneath the broad-brimmed hat, a welcoming smile lighting up the rounded face, while a hearty grip sealed the welcome to the late comer, who was needed perhaps, to com plete the mystic number required for a communication. For ma ny years a subscriber to the Or- phan's Friend, always an inter ested reader of its columns, Un cle Joe kept informed as to the doings of Masonry outside the little domain over which he ruled as King of Hearts, the hearts o Men.
