C., May '2O 1915. i. President Wilson's note to Gei many as a result of the sinking of the Lusitanii, with which more than one hundred * American citi- went down to death, in vigor, dignity land statesmanship has imet with practically unani mous approval by the press and people. There are no strjjpger en dorsements of his note than those coming from leading Republicans, some of whom have been his severest critics. Ex-President Taft says "Our hon or is safe With him," and agajn, speaking of the note, says "Ad mirable in tone, moderate in fthe judicial spirit that runs through the entire communi cation, dignified in the lgvel the writer takes with respect to international obligations, accu rate in its statements of interna tional law, he puts the ease of the United States in a way that mly weU call forth our earnest concur rent and confirmation." There is practically no difference in the tone of what other patriotic Republicans say from that of Mr. Taft. The Statesville Ministerial As sociation has started a publicity for church attendance. It has been on two. weeks. Sunday night a week largely increased at tendance was noted, and the Land mark says more people attendeo church in Statesville last Sunday night than ever attended regular services in the history of the town. This is proof that it pays to adver yjie to get people to attend church as well as to patronize secular bus iness. They are doing it by dis played newspaper advertiki ig. The "jingo" spirit in America is is not much in evidence at this, time, conservative men oppose war, but nt the same time they speak determihately for the upholding of the dignity of our country. Germany has not yet signified definitely when she will answer President Wilson's note, but an answer is expected by the end of the week. Last Monday at New York Presi dent WiKon reviewed the greatest aggregation of battleships and fighting craft ever assem >led by the United States. The fleet stretched for four miles in a double line. Spending and Investing Differ—What a Leading Citizen Thinks of Gra ham's Streets and the County Jail. There's a big difference. Many dollars aTe sfient to the one invested People pay good money for ope thing and another. They buy "things" which strike their fancy in some way, and many of them, most of them, will say they havo "invested," whoreas, they have simply spent incney for something that serves a very poor purpose aud yields little pleasure and less service. The ways in which investments can be made are numerous, but nothing is really an investment that does not serve a beneficial purpose, regard less of divi dends, whether much, little or noth ing, and whose value is not adequate in service and returns to tho amount paid for it. We are led to deliver the forego ing dissertation anent the remark made by a leading citizen, not a resi dent of Graham, who waa here a day or so ago looking over Graham's splendid new streets and the county's handsome and well appointed jail. He spoke of other towns that bad apent money for atreeta and had none—that Graham had made an in vestment in her new atreeta Such remarks aa these come from all who take time to give a passing glance at our itreets, and now when a Graham citiaen goee away from home he will hear someone remark, if it is known he is a Grabamite, upon what lils been seen or heard about the atreeta Aaide from being pleasant to hear about, it ia a fact, so those aay who have traveled much over the coun try, that no town on the Atlantic elope, sice considered, surpasses ana only about two come near equal ing Graham. Thia ahoutd be and ia very pleasing and will naturally inspire Graham people with a feel ing of pride. Now, a word aa to the jail: The county's new ja>! has been com pleted. It ia substantial, sightly, commodious and well appointed in all respects from cellar to garrett. It haa every modern convenience of such an institution. The heating, lighting and ventilation are right up to date, and with these are combined comfort and safety. No citizen of the county can, look over it without feeling that Alamance has s thing of value—sn asset. Trinity College commencement embraces June 6-9.

The feeling of the American people ran high, but won allayed somewhat when President Wilson before newly naturalized citizens in Philadelphia said, "A nation can be too proud to light" Tbiii, be later said, was his personal view, the expression of the American peopje being a firm notice on Germany to cease its molestation of neutral ships as well as to respect our rights. Ambassador Hernstorff gave his personal regrets on America's loss. Bumors that the fleet review in the Hudson river was called off and President Wilson assassinated were benrd during the week, but were unfounded. Some Unusual Records Made by Students in the Graham Graded School. The following Interesting facts have been furnished us by Supt. C.

Rebecca Johnston and Min nie Johnston, have all received at tendance certificates both this year and last. Besides the certificates for per fect attendance, thu school awards honor certificates to the students who make 'ian average of SO or more on their studies, have no de portment grade below 90, and who have no unexcused absences nor tardies. A number of pupils Won both of these certificates this year. The following is the list by grades: First Grade—Carlisiey Mann. High First Grade—Don Holt and Nellie Reavis.

In talking about 1918, there are two things that may well be re membered; the Democratic party is not dwindling and the Republican j party is not making good. The | Philadelphia "Record" points out j that the Democrats gained Jn lust , year's elections in 31 States aod | lost in 10 States, and that Sweitzer with all his .handicaps got the | votes of 162,000 men in Chiigo's niayorality election last month, as compared with Wilson's 120,000 Votes in 1912. Those who are fond ' of figures may note that the Solii Bouth count,ing Missouri, has 165 electoral votes, that Nebraska, Ne- | vada and Oklahoma, (Democratic in 1908 and 1912) make It 186, qnd that | Massachusetts, New York and Ohio, | add seven more that are necessary i to elect. The situation in those three States is interesting. Mas- i sachusetts put in a Democratic Governor last year, but her heavily ' Republican Legislature has made a | bad record for autocratic rule and i and stand-pat legislation. Kepub- j liean Governor Willis, of Ohio, is l conducting what the Cleveland j "Plain-Dealer" describes as "a pro-- I gram of unashamed office broker- ' age." "a reign of spoilß unenual ed in the irecent history of the State." The work of the Legisla ture has been largely destructive.'" New York, where William Barnes is suing Colonel Roosevelt for libel, AnJ/ the rags of machine govern ment are Being washed with a j vengeance, is even worse—whit I with undoing the humane and pro- j gressive legislation of Hughes and I Glynn, hasty office grabbiig, an 1 muddled finance. In all three o' these States the Republicans have i harked back toward the old ways of fifteen or twenty years ago, they : are not doing their work well and ] they are not doing it in the pop- | ular interest. The verv charges j thev will make against the Demo crats at Washington will be urged , against them in their own home ( towns. Senator Borah has nlre'dvj issued a plain warning to this ef fect. It mav be that some usspec- 1 ified Republican can be elected off- j hand to the rePsidencv in 1916, on a platform of privileged prosperity and machine politics, but the above ] facts had better be considered fore malting any prophecies. That Terrible "May." By "Billy"' Sunday. I don't look like a man that would die very quickly, do 1? I Lave just as good physique as you ever gazed at. I wouldn't trade with any man I know.

I have been preaching at this pace for fourteen years, and I've stood it, although I begin to feel myeelf fail ing a little bit. But I may die, and on that "may," on that possibility, I carry thousands and thousands of, dollars of life insurance, I don't believe that any man does right to himself, his wife, or his children if he doesn't provide for them with life insurance, so when he is gone they will not be thrown on tbp charity of the world. And next to my faith in God, if I should die tonight, that which would give me the most com fort would be the knowledge that I have in a safe deposit vault in Chi cago life insurance papers paid for up to date, and my wife could cash them in and ahe and the babies could listen to the wolves howl for a good many years.

According to a report recently issued by the Department of Agri culture, Washington, the commer cial value of the peanut crop In creased from $7,270,515 in 1889 to $18,271,929 in 1909, and |the increase since 190'9 has been even greater than before that year. These fig ures do not represent the full val ue of the crop for they do not take into account thousands of acres of peanuts grown for hog feeuing purposes. The soil necessary to produce a good crop of peanuts must be thor oughly prepared by plowing and harrowing, as soils that are hard and compact are not adapted to peanut growing, owing to the ina bility of the pod stems or "pegs" to penetrate the surface. The best : soil for the peanut is a sandy: loam J containing a large amount of hu mus or vegetable matter. With a reasonable amount of humus avail able, the peanut responds well to commercial fertilizers composed of 2 per cent, nitrogen, 6 to 8 per cent, phosphoric acid and 6 to 8 peji cent potash, which is recom mended for sandy loam soils ai. the rate of 200 to 800 pounds to the acre according to the nature of the soil. Poorly drained or sour soils are not suited to the peanut and it is j important that lime should be used |to correct acidity and to insure , the proper ripening and filling of the pods; The amount of lime to | apply where the soil contains no j 1 limestone or shells and is found to be the least sour, is 1,000 pounds of fresh burned lime, or 2 000 pounds of fine ground limestone every fotir or five years to the acre. The lime should not be used at (the same time as the commerciil fertilizer should be applied broad | cast afteV the land is plowed and thoroughly mixed with the soil by harrowing. The Agricultural De- I partment makes special mention of I the importance of the use of lime I for the peanut crop. I The peanut plant, in common ! with other legumes has the power of collecting nitrogen from the air ( and storing it in nodules on the ■ roots. For this reason, the pea- I nut is a very desirable s6il-im provUig plant, but it' should be i should be borne in mind, howevef, | tha[tin order to benefit the soil, j the main portion of the roots I should be left in the ground. The peanut as a market crop, if prop- I erlv handled is not exhaustive of the nlant food. In fact the plant is it great nitrogen gatherer, but the entire plant .including the root, is removed and no part returned to the soil, the peanut is almost as exhaustive of fertility as corn. By feeding the straw and other re fuse to farm animals and apply ing the manure to the land, the fertility may be increased. When grown exclusively for feeding pur poses and hogs are turned into the field to root out the nuts, there is no better soil improving crop than peanut. , I An Appeal. Insurance Bulletin.

Last Saturday was the one day I that brought two victories to the ! Sylvan High School. The baseball team on that day won the State championship in High School base ball for 1914 —*15, at Chapel Hill. The Sylvan nine had won the first place in the western part of the State and the Raleigh team had won fiist place in the east. So it remained for Sylvan and Raleigh to cross bats for the first place in the Slate. This teat was made at the University last Saturday and it resulted in victory for Sylvan—the score being oto 7. This is Slyvan's second victory of this kind. She won this same dis tinction in baseball last year. While the boys were away at Chapel Hill winning a v.ctory the men were at home winning another by voting special tax for High School purposes. Sylvan was one of the first schools in the State to establish a State High School and has main tained one ail the while. Most of this time the community has raised its one-third of the maintenance fund by private subscription. The election last Saturday was to place a small tax on all to support the High ; School. The vote was about 4to 1 ] for the special tax These two vic i tories for Sylvan in one day. The I High School tax is in addition to the ' local tax of 30c. and 90c. for Ele j mentary school purposes that Sylvan j has collected for years. Hurrah for I Sylvan ! Ugh! Calomel Makes You Deathly Sick Stop Using Dangerous Drug Before it Salivates you ! It's Horrible! You're bilious, sluggish, consti pated, and believe you need vile, dangerous calomel to start your ; liver and clean your bowels. I Here's my guarantee! Ask your druggist for a 50-cent 'bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone and take a spoonful to-night. If it doesn't start your liver and straighten you right up better than calomel and without griping or making you sick, 1 want you to go back to the drug store and get your money. Take calomel to-day and to-mor row you will feel weak, sick and nauseated. Dont lose a days work. Take a spoonful of harm less, vegetable Dodson s Liver Tone tonight and wake up feeling great. It's perfectly harmless. Give It to your children any time. It cant salivate, so let them eat anything they want afterwards. Dempsey Parks, a Wayne county farmer, living near Mt.
