We are printing elsewhere in this issue of The News-Herald the order of the Burke County Commissioners as a result of the election held last June at which ninety thousand dollars in bonds were voted by Morganton, Upper Fork and Lower Fork town ships toward the building of a rail road from Morganton through these townships to Casar, connecting with the proposed road from Shelby to Casar, for which bonds have also been voted. "The Virginia-Carolina Midland Railway Co." want to build this road and our commissioners have "put it up to them" in the order. Our peo ple who want the railroad are hoping that something will soon be done in the way of actual work, and it seems to us we are amply protected in the order of the commissioners. A meeting of citizens of Cleveland and Burke counties is being held to day at Shelby for a discussion of the railroad proposition. Among those in attendance from Burke are, Messrs J. M. Brinkley and son, B. F. Davis, I. T. Avery, J. H. Pearson, A. C. Avery and Charlie Kirksey. CALDWELL MEMORIAL. At the meeting of the North Caro Una Press Association, held at Mon treat last July, a movement was set on foot to provide a memorial to the late Joseph P. Caldwell, former ed itor of the Charlotte Observer, by voluntary subscriptions; and a com mittee, composed of Mr. R. R. Clark, of the Statesville Landmark; Mr. Jas. H. Caine, of the Asheville Citizen; Mr. Archibald Johnson, of Charity and Children; Mr. H. B. Varner, of the Lexington Dispatch; and Mr. Wade H. Harris, of the Charlotte Observer, was appointed to make arrangements for putting the plan into execution. This committee met at Statesville August 31, and organized by the elec tion of Mr. Clark as president of the Caldwell Memorial Commission, and Mr. Harris, secretary and treasurer. The News-Herald will gladly re ceive donations to this fund, and all subscriptions will be duly acknowl edged in this paper. We trust our people will respond promptly and lib erally to the erection of a memorial to an editor we feel they would de light in honoring. Governor Will Not Appoint Members National Security League. Raleigh Special, 15th, to Charlotte Observer. Governor Craig declined to-day to comply with a request from Joseph H. Choate, president of the National Security League, that he appoint 20 North Carolina members of the league. In the letter to Mr. inoate to this effect the Governor said: "I do not believe that .the United States is in the slightest danger of attack by any outside enemy. The Nations of Europe are straining all their energies to defend themselves in the present war and to perpetuate their existence. They have not re sources to send ships and armies 3,- 000 miles across the sea to attack the Nation with more potential pow er than any on earth. After this war is over I think the world will be tired of war and we will have an age of peace. "In my opinion the President of the United States and his advisers have a proper conception of this situation, and are ready to urge Con gress to adopt any measure necessary to provide for our defense, and to assert in every way the rights and dignity of our country and of all its citizens. "With great respect for your or ganization and for the ability and the patriotism of the men who are promoting it, I think that it is un necessary and may tend to engender in this country a spirit of militarism that would burden our people with a tremendous expense for war equip- ment ana create a desire ior war rather than hope that we be at peace with all the world. "A spirit of righteousness to all men, and just consideration to all Nations has been the diplomacy adopted by the President of the Uni ted States. It has won magnificent ly. It has given, this country a higher place than she would have had if her policy had been one of arbitrary dictation backed by force." Catawba Valley News. Correspondence of The News-Herald.
