The News-Herald. T G. C33B, Editor and Owner THUKSDAY, JULY 30, 1914. MR. SPAINHOUR AND THE NEWS-HERALD. Mr. J. F. Spainhour went into the Greensboro News of yester diy to "rake" the editor of The News-Herald for our opposition to his candidacy for the Demo c atic nomination for the State Senate from this district and to say unkind things about this edi tor in connection with the North Carolina House of Representa tives as Chief Clerk and as one of the secretaries of the recent onvention in Morganton in which Mr. Spainhour was de fected by Mr. B. F. Davis foi the nomination for the Senate. Mr. Spainhour did not show The News -Herald the courtesy to offer the communication to this paper as he did the one we pub lished from him a day or two be fore the convention. The Greens boro News may have been the proper medium for Mr. Spain hour's communication; however, we are honest in saying that we would have willingly printed it, altho' we do not believe that Mr. Spainhour believes, (his insinu ations might leave the impres sion) that the officers of the county convention did any more than carry out the instructions of that convention, or that the editor-of The News-Herald, as Chief Clerk of the House of Rep resentatives, has ever done any thing wrong in keeping the rec ords of that body. And in giving information we have always tried to extend the same courtesy to the rich and poor alike and to the corporations, also, if you please the courtesy that any citizen and taxpayer of this grea' country is entitled to. The House Journal is an open book, showing a correct record and the disposi tion of all bills; and even the bills which "failed to pass" seme of them Mr. Spainhour's can be found on file with the State Librarian. If anything has happened to any House bil that the House did not know about when it took action, within the past ten years, by reason of outsiders getting information from the clerks, we will have to ba shown. a r n i ivir. opamnour says our methods "if followed, will de stroy any party." We have tried to honestly perpetuate Democratic principles for twenty five years, (following Mr. Spain. hour a part of the time,) and the methods of the party still suit us and we believe will continue to give us good government. As to "bosses" ruling the Democratic party and running the State we have no patience with such charge, which may be too often prompted by the desire for the "ins" to get out and let the "outs" in. Some of the. "bosses," as he pleases to call them, have been mighty kind to Mr. Spain hour. Mr. Spainhour says we did not want him in the Senate this year. Now, he should not be too hard on us; it was the convention that said who they wanted and this editor was only a small part of that convention. And he says we "wanted another man, but he hardly thinks it was Mr. Davis, the nominee." Now, there, again. We took great pleasure in casting our vote in the Burke county caucus for Mr. Davis and shall also take pleasure in sup porting him in the campaign and in the November election. We are fond of Mr. Davis and a be liever in his ability to represent our district in the upper house of the next General Assembly, a position which he has before held with credit after he had also made good as Burke's repre sentative in the lower house. But what's the use to "scrap" about it now. Mr. Spainhour says he will help to elect the nominees of the Senatorial con vention and the Burke county Democratic ticket and he will find The News-Herald helping him do the same thing. FIRST GUNS RUED ' IN EUROPEAN WAR REPORTED ENCOUNTER OF AU8 TRIAN3 AND SERVIANS NEAR SEMENDRIA. UNDER STRICT CENSORSHIP News of Acltlvltlei Cannot Easily Seep Through Sieve of Censor ship. Towns Under .Martial Law. Vienna. No declaration of war has been Issued and it is believed none will be since Servia never subscribed to The Hague convention. The send ing of his passports to the Servian minister, M. Jovanovitch, by the Aus trian foreign office, however, is deem ed equivalent to the declaration of war. This action was taken when the report that the Servian minister bad left Vienna was found incorrect M. Jovanovitch will leave immediate ly. In his absence the Russian an bassador will take charge of Servian Interests. There were patriotic demonstrations throughout the day, although a heavy rain fell. Great crowds gathered in front of the war office and cheered the officers who appeared. Processions filled the streets. A general mobilization in Montene gro Is reported. Italy has Informed Austria that, in the event of an armed conflict with Servia, she will adopt a friendly attl tude In accordance with her relations with the triple alliance. Proclamations have been posted or dering partial mobilization. The Aus tro-Hungarian Bank has raised the bank rate from four to five per cent and the committee of the Bourse has decided to close the Bourse to pre vent an unwarranted disturbance of industrial Interests and to counteract disquieting reports." The Neue Frier Press says the minister of finance will raise $65,000,- 000 for the government's immediate requirements and adds that .negotia tions between the powers for localiza tion of the conflict will continue. It was said by one diplomat that "France has no Intention to expose herself too much on Servia's behalf. The Imperial decree issued gives the government enormous powers to ensure the secrecy of its measures Authorities are enitled to open all letters. Only telegrams approved by the censor can be dispatched. - News papers publishing details of military preparations or movements can be suppressed. All the railways are guarded by sentries with orderB to use their arms on any person who fails to stop when commanded. The prospect of war is not regarded here as child's play. The Servians put 400,000 men Into the field during the Balkan wars. Both officers and men are passionately patriotic. It Is expected that Servia will attempt to hold the front along the Danube and the Drina with only a weak force, while the greater part of the army will be concentrated In the central district, probably near Nish or Kra guyeratz, and another strong force in Novipazar, which will be destined for offensive operations against Bosnia. Glen Alpine News. Correspondence of The News-Herald. A Monday or two ago J. G Jackson, colored, claiming to be a Baptist preacher, went into a house near Glen Alpine in the evening and stole a razor and pistol and while in there fixed the window so he could get in that night. Some children saw him and he told them he was hunting a book. That night Etta Deal, colored, who was in there alone with some small children, woke up and found Jackson standing by her bed with a pis tol in his hand and he told her he would kill her if she made any " T71 i "Wv 1 noise, jittxa ueai, wno is a re spectable colored woman, has preferred criminal charges against Jackson and the sheriff of the county has offered a reward of $50.00 for his arrest or informa tion leading to it So far nothing has been learned definite of his whereabouts.

The News-Herald has given an order for a Mergenthaler lin otype, Model K, which will be installed in our office about the middle of August.

The ma chine costs a whole lot of money, but we hope the improvement in The News-Herald's service which we believe will result from this addition to the paper's equipment will meet with en couragement from our patrons that will fully justify the outlay. $10, REWARD $100.
