Splen i TBiV - - PI DAUGHTERS URGE WEARING OF COTTON. Historical Facts to Be Kept Alive. Urging the daughters to em ulate the example of the moth ers of 1860-65 in doing all in their power to aid the South by wearing and using cotton in every way possible, the Daugh ters of the Confederacy, m ses sion in Raleigh this week, ask merchants to push sales of cot ton goods, directed delegates to the general convention in Sa vannah to wear cotton dresses of cioth from North Carolina mills, and ask the mills to pay farmers 10 cents a pound for cotton. Great impetus was given to the study of history. It was not widely known until the Ral eigh meeting that Kenansville has had a sword factory or that Charlotte floated a Confederate navy. But from plowpoints and old railroad irons a German gentleman made Confederate swords, literally reversed Is aiah's prophecy that swords should be beaten into plow shares and hammered into plow points" as they called them then, into instruments whereby they could harpoon Yankees. When the war was ended, these swords were made to serve better ends. They were planted in the picket fence about the yard of the manufac turer, and for years this fence was one of the most interesting things that remained of the Confederacy. The Charlotte navy yard was made as far inland as possible to keep the Yankee ships from attack. It was so far that not one of these gentlemen dared come down here to look into it. Yet this sword factory and this naval yard have gone almost un remembered. The U. D. C. will keep these facts alive. Death of Mr. Mumford Mull. Mr. Mumford Mull, after i lingering illness of tuberculo sis, died Thursday night at his home about three miles south east of Morganton. The funer al services were conducted at Bethel church Saturday morn ing at eleven o'clock. Mr. Mull was about 42 years of age, had been a devoted member of this church since about 16. The Junior Order service wras con ducted by Rev. Kelly Houk, the deceased having" been a loyal member of that order for a unmber of years, and the church service by Rev. A. C. Swafford, his pastor. Mr. Mull belonged to one of the best families of the county, being a son of Mr. Charles Mull. Surviving him are a wife and eight children. He wras an up right man and a good citizen, ar.d will be greatly missed in his community. The Christmas Gift Ship. Secretary Daniels has desig :r.ted the naval collier Jason as he oihcial "Christmas Ship" to carry gilts trom tne united States to the destitute of Eu rope. The Jason will sail from the Brooklyn Navy Yard No vember 10 and probably will carry m audition to its cargo oi gifts, large quantities of stores and coal for the armored crui sers North Carolina and Ten nessee, now in Mediterranean waters. Population of Some North Car olina Towns in 1800 and the Gain. Statesville Landmark. According to some statistics picked up, in 1800 Asheville had a population of 38, Charlotte 122, Concord 33, Edenton 1,302, Morganton 130, New Berne 2,467, Raleigh 669, Salem 226, Salisbury 645, Statesville 95, Wilmington 1,645. One hun dred and ten years later 1910 the same towns have a pop ulation as follows: Asheville, 18,762, Charlotte 34,014, Con cord 8,715, Edenton 2,789, Mor ganton 2,712, New Berne 9,961, Raleigh 19, 218, Salem 5,533, Salisbury 7,153, Statesville 4,599, Wilmington 25,748. During the period from 1800 to 1910 the average annual net increase of population was Asheville 170, Charlotte 308, Concord 78, Edenton 13, Mor ganton 23, New Berne 68, Ral eigh 168, Salem 48, Salisbury 59, Statesville, 40, Wilmington 219. From this it will be seen that Charlotte has made the lar gest gains 308 and Edenton the smallest Id. The Senate of the South Car olina Legislature has passed J bill to issue $35,000,000 in bonds to purchase cotton for the State The measure provides tor ex pending the proceeds either in direct purchase of cotton at 10 cents a pound or by loans at 9 cents a pound. In the event the measure is finally adopted, it must be submitted to a referendum cf the people on November 3 and a two-thirds majority must vote for it be fore it is effective.

Mr. William Feimster and. family, of Iredell county, visited the family of Mr. Clem Mses last week. Mr. reimster is a brother-in-law of Mr. Moses. Again Mr. Mart Parks takes the blue ribbon in raising corn this time popcorn. He brought to The News-Herald of fice last week a stalk of popcorn which had seven well-developed ears. Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Wolfe and daughter, of Bryn Mawr, Pa., are spending several days in Morganton on a vacation. They own a pretty cottage a mile east of town, near Mr. C. C. Ben nett's home. A three-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Buff, of Lower Fork township, was drowned in South Fork river several days ago. The child had wan dered away from the house at play and when missed was found in the river drowned. Mrs. Annie Mathis, mother of Lafayette Mathis, and one of the oldest women of Lower Fork township, died last Sat urday and was buried at St. John's church Sunday after noon. Mr. E. B. Claywell has had n his store window at times during the past few weeks some as fine dahlias as are grown anywhere. They are superb specimens, rich-hued, and gor geous. Dahlias are among the prettiest of the fall flowers and with a little care give splendid results. The walls and woodwork of the ladies' parlor, located in the new Sunday school addition of the Methodist church, were beautifully tinted and stained last week by the skilled hand of Mr. L. J. Webber. The room is one of the many- conveniences of the enlarged church. Mrs. Ellen Moses, an aged and highly respected old lady of East Morganton, met with tne misfortune one day last week to fall and fracture her knee She had been feeble for some time, and the added trouble has confined her to her bed. But her friends hope that she may soon be able to be up and ou again. From the Lenoir News we learn that Miss Lela Tuttle who has been doing missionary work in China for five years arrived in Lenoir last Thursday on year's furlough and was greeted by her many friends with much pleasure. She is enjoying the best of health and made her trip home without serious hm drance. Miss Tuttle has many friends in Morganton who have been verv much interested in her work in China and who wil be glad to welcome her home. Despite the rain last Friday and Saturday the attendance upon the meetings of the Coun tv Teachers Association was very good, and many things in terestiner to teachers were dis cussed. The schools of the county will open next Monday morning, the nrst Monaay in November. The assignment o the teachers to the differen schools has been about complet ed, and no doubt the county school work will start off in good shape. WE have Grates from $1.50 up.

Had Been in Session 19 Months No Relief for Cotton Situ ation in the South Granted. Washington Dispatch, 24th. After being in continuous ses sion since the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson, a period of nearly 19 months, the Sixty- hird Congress adjourned its second session to-dav when pro- onged efforts to procure cot- on relief legislation finally col- apsed. Leaders in this move ment agreed to adjourn only on condition that pending cotton measures would have right ot way when Congress reassembles December 7. Not more than 50 members of the House and less than a quorum of the Senate were present when the cravels fell on adjournment without date. he end was accomplished through passage of a concur rent resolution ending the ses sion at 4 p. m. but clocks were turned ahead in both cham bers, actual adjournment in the House occurring at 3:22 and in the Senate at 3:27. As the altered hands of the House clock drew near 4 and the Senate was winding up leer islative business, Speaker Clark arose at his desk and facing the scattered attendance on the floor said: "This is the longest and most aborious session that Con gress ever has known. I con gratulate you most heartily on being able to adjourn at last. I wish to thank every member of the House Democrat, Republi can, Progressive and Indepen dent for uniform courtesy shown to the Speaker. Now, in rha lonmioora r-f TS-riw T'l-rv. God bless us everyone."' Apple and Timber Railroads The following items, one from the Old Fort Sentinel and the other from the Lenoir News, show that the development of the mountain section of the State goes on uninterrupted by war and the cotton situation: - The new railroad to Catawba alls is now an assured fact A goodly force of laborers has been at work on the line since ast week, and the grading, which was begun at this end, is progressing rapidly and is ex pected to be completed as far as Charles C. Lindley's by the end of the week. Mr. J. M. Charles, who is main promoter, informs us the road will be a narrow gauge and operated by steam, an improved climax en gine being the style of locomo tive. The primary object of the road is to convey the timber to Old Fort from a large boun dary lying between here and the falls; but it is also the purpose ot the Catawba Falls Railroad Company to convert the road into a passenger line to accom modate the sightseers who have been unable heretofore to visit these attractive falls without considerable inconvenience. The line will come into town through Westtort and cross the creek just below the pump-house with likely a depot on the Westfort side. Mrs. M. H. Cone is having constructed on her estate at Blowing Rock a small railroad of a mile or more in length, over which apples will be transported from the orchards to the pack ing houses. The railway is be mg Duiit to the orchards m "China," as the orchards on the south side of the ridge, under May View are called locally. The motive power will be a station ary engine and the cars loaded with the fruit will be drawn up the steep mountain side by steel cable. The little rails for the road were taken up from Le noir last week and the winch or windlass on which the steel ca ble will operate is now at the Station here. -The railroad is considered better for the pur pose than to attempt to build a regular wagon road down into the gulch in which the orchards are located. Strained relations between Mayor Moore of Wilmington and W. F. Jones, a member of the city council, resulted in Moore attacking Jones at the close of a council meeting. The chief of police stopped the dif ficulty before it got under way, Too many women struggle under pains and acnes. They are not sick but weak, nervous, irritable Such women need that blood strength that comes fcy taking SCOTT-S EMULSION. It also utrengthens the nerves, aids the ap petite and checks the decline. If wife or mothr tir eamly or took ran down, SCOTT'S EMULSION will build her tip. SHUN SUBSTITUTES. 14-4 .v-j.-Jag.Tciy.ijij.M "Made in America." Gastonia Gazette. If every person in the United States would, when making pur chases, demand "made-in-Amer ica goods, we are told, there would to-day be plenty of work or every man in this country who has to work or wants to work. As it is, there is no very arge number of idle men in the country, notwithstanding the fact that the great European war now in progress has oper ated to demoralize world traffic o a very considerable extent. Of the many movements re cently started in the United States to assist the farmer, the manufacturer and the merchant no single one, we believe, holds such large possibilities as the Made-m-Amenca movement. It has become a habit with our peopie and a constantly growing one to seek inported goods, especially in certain lines of manufactured articles. An article stamped "Made in Ger many" or "Made in Austria," etc., has as a rule found a bet ter sale at a higher price than an American-made article dis played by the merchant side by side with the imported article. There is no denying the fact that in some lines the foreign manufacturer has reached a higher degree of efficiency in making goods than the Ameri can manufacturer. At the same time it is doubtless true that a very large per centage of the oreign-made goods are no bet ter than those turned out in American factories. ' Patriot ism, however, should lead our people to unite m demanding American-made goods even if, on rare occasions, the home made article is not quite" as good as the imported one. In no other way can we hope to build up our manufacturing indus tries to the point already at tained by some of our European competitors. Hundreds of thou sands of dollars go annually from this country to Paris for women's hats and gowns. Every cent of this vast sum could be kept in this country and the ladies would look just as sweet and attractive in hats and gowns made by Uncle Sam's milliners and tailors. It is stated, and no doubt correctly, that a large percent age of the finest wines import ed from Germany and France are Cailiorma-made, shipped abroad, rebottled and relabeled, coming back to this country to be sold at a high price. Much raw material ot many kinds goes from the United States to! foreign countries and comes1 back to -us in the finished pro duct. The foreigner gets the profit that our own manufac turers should have. By joining the "Made-in- America" movement and at the same time the "Buy-at-Home" movement our people can great ly assist the manufacturing and commercial interests of the Uni ted States and through them as sist the producer of the raw material. It is said McDowell county leads the State in the way of per capita- expense for public education. Hallowe'en and pay day night!

The present war differs from all previous wars, inasmuch as no one knows just when a bat tle begins and when it ends. What is now known as the bat tle of the four rivers, the Scarpe, the Somme, the Oise and the Aisne, may be regard ed as ended and a fresh stage of the operations begun with the fall of Antwerp and the re newed appearance of the strong allied army in Belgian territory, where it has made its presence felt by the capture of Ypres. Meanwhile the siege of the German positions further south has become merely desultory. Some parts of the line, where a perfect hail of shells was a daily occurrence five weeks ago, now are enlivened by artillery fire only at rare intervals. At one important point to-day only 30 shells were fired throughout the hours.. The infantry on both sides is kept constantly on the alert, although the allies have found it possible to reduce the strength of the troops actually on the firing line. The remainder of the strong allied forces at these various points are kept in reserve with in measurable distance, ready for any emergency. The cold and wet have made trench work very trying, but the allies are well provided with blankets and water-proof sheets The sol diers also are combatting the cold by means of sheets of parchment which they wear un der their uniforms and which help to keep them warm. 30,000 VOICES. And Many are the Voices of Morganton People. Thirty thousand voices what a grand chorus! And thats the number of American men and women, who are publicly praising Doan's Kidney Pills for relief from backache, kidney and bladder ills. They say it to friends. They tell it in the home papers. Morganton peo ple are in the chorus. Heres a Morganton case: Mrs. M. Piercy, Green St., Morgan ton, N. C, says: "I suffered a great deal during the past ten years from weak kidneys. Whenever I caught cold, it settled on my kidneys and caused attacks of backache. I tried many remedies, but nothing gave me much relief until I procured Doan's Kidney Pills at the Burke Drug Corf and used them, i shall continue tc take them." FOUR YEARS LATER. On March 8, 1912, Mrs Piercy ad ded: "Doan's Kidney Pills are re liable and I am glad to confirm the statement 1 gave some years ago. recommending them." Price 50c, at all dealers Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Piercy had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N, Y.

Each Day Along the Battle Front in France Proves But a Repetition of the Previous Days. Sunday's dispatches from the European battle fields were agreed that there was little change in the situation during the week. They gave it in part that each day is but a repetition of the previous day in the battle being fought out in West Flan ders, northern France and Po land between the Germans and the allies. One side gains a lit tle at one point, only to lose at another. It appears from the official German and French reports that the Germans, finding it im possible to advance along the coast toward Dunkirk owing to the fire from the British and French warships, took a route a little more inland and have succeeded in crossing the Yser canal, which the Belgians have been defending stubborninerlv for a week to the west of Dix mude. The Germans have also made progress to the northeast of Roulers, which they still are in possession of, and toward which the allies were advancing last week. The Germans claim to have taken 500 British troops in the fighting in this neighbor hood. Of the gains claimed by the Germans the French report makes no mention, dismissing the battle with the sentence, "There is no change to report between the sea and the region around Arras." Both sides have, according to their own reports, made pris oners and captured guns but the battle, extending a front of 26 miles, has not yet been decided. North Carolina Leads in Produc tion of Mica. A report just issued by the United States Geological Survey says : North Carolina produced min erals in 1913 valued at $3,739, 696, an increase of $370,773 over 1912. North Carolina is the leading producer of mica in the United States. The white muscovite mica produced in North Carolina is highly prized for its transparency and is gen erally recognized as the stan dard mica of the country. The mica produced in North Caro lina in 1913 was valued at $267,913, against -$256,549 in 1912. KEEP YOUR STOMACH AND LIV- ' ER HEALTHY.
