THE OI,D COMPLAINT.':'-
I have to buy my., winter duds, and
ivinter coal and winter spuds: 1 have
to lay in Hour and cheese .arid many
. other things like these. So many
things I have to buy, I view the pros
pect with a sigh. For every plunk I
have in store, I'm needing seventeen
or more: for I must buy my wife some
rags, and purchase hunting and some
flags, and weatherstrips and wool and
wax, and pay a most unholy tax. And
still the passers of the hat come smil
ing to my humble Mat. ami hone me
for a .hard-earned yen to help some
poor and needy men. ''OKI .Gaffer
Johnson's needing aid: we want to buy
him marmalade: .and Oossip-Smith is
In the hole we'd send him half a ton
of coal. Oh. loosen up and gladly dig,
to buy the Widow Skate a pig.'' The
gaffer, and the gossip, too, refuse to
work when skies are blue, and when
the wintry tempests roar they come
for handouts to your door. And you,
Who work -to. beat the band, must
greet them with an ."open hand,, re
sponding1 to their doleful cries with
oupbones, sandwiches and pies.
Tonight.
At the Courthouse.
Liberty Bond Mass Meeting.
Senator Lec S. Overman Will Speak.
! The people of America niu.-t buy
'Liberty bonds at the late of a half
billion dollars a. day this wee If if the
i "Joyful news" is to be sent to llerlin.
Tha Chntliam rabbit has com' Into
,118 own.
It you do not know of anything else
,10 send the soldier boy write him a
(letter. It will bo appreciated.
Camp Sevier boys think "something
lis in the air" and that it will not be
many weeks before they bio "over
there."
Many men true, red-blooded, pn-
itrlotlo Americans, cannot go to the
battle front. They want to go, but for
various reasons the government thinks
they should remain at home. But
they can send a message a Liberty
loan bond.
In ft liberty bond address yesterday
at Trinity church, Dr. George T. Wln
torf strikingly pointed out the differ
ence between the old and the new
national spirit of Germany. In the
last SO yean, he said, the patriotic, ref-
erences to men like Goethe have been
replaced by the blood and iron doc
trine of leaders like Bismarck and
von Bernhardt: "Die Wacht am
Rhein" has been superseded by the
'Hymn of Hate," and tha world-conquering:
ambition expressed in
'Deutschland Uber Alles." It la this
spirit that the allies must overcome,
and Liberty bonds are the practical
substitutes to offer your country If
you cannot go to Europe to face the
lluns. .
I I Hr.XATOR OVERJIAJT.
j The Liberty Loan committee made
no mistake In selecting Senator Over.
, man as the speaker for the mass
1 meeting tonight. The Courthouse
! slniul.1 be parked to hear hiro, discuss
' this all absorbing question.
i Senator Overman is an able and
I eloquent speaker, and Is thoroughly
! informed on all questions connected
with- the grfat war. lie has cap-
nbly, intelligently and acceptably rep
resented North Carolina for fifteen
years in the great United States Pen
ate. He is a recognised leader there
and as chairman of the Committee on
Rules has a powerful influence, lie is
I ever alert, active and quick to look
after the interests of '.North Carolina
and North Carolinians in Washing
ton.'' Indeed, with Senator Simmons as
chairman of the great Finance Com
mittee ami Senator Overman us chair
man of the Committee on '.-Rules,
North Carolina is most ably repre
sented in that august body. No state
has two senators better equipped,
more efficient or more Influential than
they, and North Carolina is proud of
them. Asheville is fortunate in hav
ing Senator Overman as its guest for
tonight.
SENATOR llfSTIXG DEAD.
The news of the death of Senator
Husting, of Wisconsin, late last night,
will be received with genuine sorrow
throughout the, country and especially
fin this section where the loyal citizens
are so anxious that something be
done to the disloyal La Foliette. Sen
ator Husting, Democrat, represented
Wisconsin as La Foliette lnis-repre-scnted
it. lie carried the banner of
Americanism, when La Foliette .repre--sented
Kaiserisnv. .
Senator Husting was accidentally
shot by his brother, while on a duck-
hunting ti iii yesterday ' afternoon and
died from Ui wounds, inflicted several
hours inter:
Senator . Husting was liprn 'at. 'Fon
Iu Lac, Wis; 'April 25;. IStili, and '.re-..
movej with his parents' to Mayvllle in
1S7S. He attended the common
schools . of Y on Dit Lac and Dodge
counties Until his sixteenth year, when
he went to work ns clerk in a general
store. He was afterward employed In
the postoffice and railway postal ser
vice. He entered the. .University of
Wisconsin in 18!tr. and in' December
of Hint year he passed 'the state bar
examination and commenced ' the
practice of law at Mayville, Wis., in
which he had been engaged ever since.
He was elected district attorney in
1902 and again -in '.1904:'. in 1906 lie
was elected state senator from the
Thirteenth senatorial district and re
elected in IPiO. Me was elected to
the United States senate in 1914 to
succeed Tsaac Stephenson. His term
of office would have expired .March 3
1921.
THE MOST HEALTHFUL MONTH,
October is considered- the most
healthful month of . the twelve.
Everybody feels better than usual
during this month but few people
know the reason. Climale and out
door life are largely responsible,1 ac
cording to the state board of health.
A recent health bulletin explains why
October is so healthful:
"Climate, of course, has much
to do with it, as cool weather is
more energizing than warm
weather, but a more Important
reason is a person's phvsical con
dition at this time.' For six
months, people have been living
. in the fresh air. Thoy have kept
all their windows open, they havo
lived more on the porch, and
some have slept out on the porch,
they have ridden and walked
; more In the open air, and alto
gether they have treated their
bodies fall- in respect (o fresh air
and exercise. Consequently, the
good health that people eiiloy In
October and the other fall months
is due to proper ll ing hab'ls with
reference, particularly-, to fresh
air and nut -dour life,"
And if the same living habits are
observed , December. January and
Fcb'rii.iry can be ma.lo almost as
li-altliful.
When will people, lenrn the value
of good health ami seek diligently to
find it?
An American who recently escaped
from the Internment camp at Kiel and
made his way to Stockholm, reported
to American Minister Morris there
that the Americans held prisoners in
the German . Internment camps were
In a desperate plight and would have
starved had It not been for the food
which the Red Cross and T. M. C. A.
mnnaged to get them. That is example
of the kind of work these two organ
izations are doing and It Is because
of their work that they deserve sup
port. When the Red Cross or the Y.
M. C. A. makes an appeal, respond
to the limit of your ability.
During the past fiscal year It is estl
mated that 9,000,000,000 cigars, 30,.
000,000,000 cigarettes and 600,000,000
pounds of tobacco were produced in
the United States. It is ungenerous,
to say the least ,of It, for the people
of the United States to enjoy all this
luxury when the men In the trenches
are facing a tobacco famine a large
part of the time.
Chief Murphy of Tammany Hall Is
alarmed at the strength of the social
ist party in New York. He thinks his
man, Hylan, will have to beat Hlllqult,
the socialist nominee, and that Mitch
ell and Bennett have already been
counted out of the mayoralty race.
COMMUNICATIONS 1
The Coal Question.'
KtHtor The TIMES:
Kvery citizen should give the best i
that is in him: his soul, niiml. nerve;
and means, to the service of the com- I
moiiwealth. We hear that from all
pulpits, from all platforms and you. I:
am suret agree. Nobody can tackle !
all sides of this question and there
fore 1 confine myself to the consid
eration of the coal question, which is
very much In evidence and from :
which r solution must be found. j
I submit for consideration in this '
connection that as there exists great
animosity between coal owners and
miners, which apparently cannot be!
overcome, the two parties be appoint- :
ed separately: the coal owners be ask- .
ol how piuch he wants for his coal in :
the 'mine and the coal miners' unions,
ror how much they will bung the coal !
into waiting cars. 1 have hsen offer-'
ed the financial backing lSr a pronil-1
nent man m this town 'and a little,
united effort could and would do the;
necessary work of organization. 1 1
have ascertained that the freight will :
be about $1.75. the miner, I think, will !
be satisfied with $1.25; delivery in I
town will be 60 cents and if we pay
the coal owner $1.00 the price to con
sumers would be $5.00; at which price
I have commissions already for a hun
dred tons and could dispose of easily
of thousands. It can be done and it
must be done; who will assist?

jjf' Day by Day in New York
By O. O. McIXTYRB
New York, Oct. 22, As Samuel
I'epys would record in his diary; Up
early and by steam conveyance to
William Penn's city and the conduct
or chided me for not purchasing a
ticket, albeit 1 was willing to pay the
regular.', fare. In money, and arrived
vexed to the blood.
For a walk through the town and
through the market where a loud
mouthed '-fish-monger -, yelled to his
stall mate: ."Look- tit the felly .with
the trick lid." which reference was to
my fuzzy hat, . which cost me one
pound and is very fetching.
To Mr. Curtis' printing .shop and
saw many interesting .sights. 1 or
luncheon in a cellar inn - where we
lunched upon the head of a barrel,
very merrily and I purchiised n firkin
of butter to fetch home to1 my wife,
poor wretch, but in the heat it incited
and I left it in n gutter.
Home in the early afternoon and
saw many soldiers On the -icam cotir
veynrice singing "It's a Long Way to
Berlin,, but -We'll 'Get There." And I
believe, God helping them, they will.
Happy that L. Bell, the scrivener,
has come to town for a fortnight; for
he is a gay wag and a cheerful com
panion. News that I must again muz
zle my doc;, poor brute, has disrupted
my daily routine for I would liefer
wear a -muzzle myself than worry
hint.
T. dinner and found it so well
done, above what I did expect from
our maid, that I did call her In and
give her a sixpence. With gay roys
terers to Gramercy park, where we
talked of this and that and H. Roth,
now in Lord Woodrow's navy, told
us many quaint stories of life at sea.
And came Miss Neysti McMein,
who draws the pretty girls, and W.
Johnstone, the editor, and Mistress
Johnstone, and Howard Phyle, the
artist, and Miss Carol MeComas, the
playact ress, all very merry. Home
and after some contentful talk with
my wife, she to bed and I to read a
new novel.
- Murray' .Hulhurt - looks after Har
lem's Interest at -.Washington and is
known as quite an all round fence
builder on his own account when
back in Harlem. He is just now won
dering whether his congressional dig
nity was sat upon the other day. He
was passing a corner In Harlem with
a group of friends. Some individual
Hung, over his shoulder ns he passed:
"Good morning , gentlemen; tood
morning, congressman."
A man must be about ten years
learning his trade before he will be
permitted fn drive a locomotive,
which can only do damnge to things
which happen to be on the same
trv-k. But anyone can drive an nuto-
i iol.ile through the crowded traffic of
New York, however little he may
know about driving. -
This may in a degree explain the
alarming frequency of automobile ac
cidents. The other day a well known
actor walked Into an automobile
salesroom and picked out the auto
mobile he wanted. He had never driv
en before but he decided he wanted
to drive the car home. I
He started out. Two blocks away.
he skidded Into a frui. stand pnrt at
the next block he nearly run over u
truffle policeman who held up his
hand for him to stop. Things got
worse and worse nnd finally 'wound
up by tearing a wheel off a big lim
ousine on Blverslde drive.
When he got home, the actor
phoned to the salesroom to come and
get the automobile. He was through
for life. "The next time I get a car,"
he said, "it will be a flivver. A fel
low told me the other day that thev've
got flivvers perfcOtf'l now so you can
set 'em so they'll go back home if
you turn them loose."
There are about three people killed
by automobiles on the streets of New
York every day.
Thfl "Snmmees".
"Les void! They are coming! Listen
to their song!"
The cry took flight from Sobbing
threats
As the "Sammees" swung along.
Bronzed of fnce, with eyes Intent,
Tbej- marked In columns past:
Shoulder to shoulder, file on file
"Bon Dleu, mercl! At lust!"
"Et puis encore! Voyer! More and
still more there are!"
Thus gnyly wept the. women of France
As the dusk-hrown lines stretched far.
Bronzed of face, with eyes Intent,
They marched In columns past;
Shoulder to shoulder, flile on file
"Bon Dleu, merci! At last!"
A thousand women kneeling In a vast
church dim.
With hands in prayer uplifted.
Pouring; their thanks to Him!
Bronierl it face, with eyes Intent,
They marched in col 'nine past;
Shoulder to shoulder, file on file
"Bon Dieu, mercl! At Inst!"

WHEN A MAN'S WIFE
insists on his buying the better grade of shoes because they save the
difference in hose, to say nothing of her time in darning, he should
begin to look at It as an economical proposition. A cheap shoe might
have the outward appearance at first, but the inside feeling is what tells,
the tale. As a patriotic cittzen you cannot afford to waste your money
on cheap shoes. What's the answer? -
