Miss Gladys Jerome, of Aydlett, representative of the Sea Gift Society, introduced the speaker in a very ; happy manner, and Miss Marie Long, of Morehead City, spoke words of hearty appreciation _pl the admirable address on behalf ofthe societies, and of the audience at the close. The ex ercise* were interspensed with music by Misses Ward, Yarborough, and Aynra. Misses Lottie Kerr and Blea ker Yar borough were the marshals. Dr. Moore, who is editor of the Biblical Recorder, and himself an au thor of some fame, was perfectly at home with his subject, which is one ot his specialities, before a cultured and appreciative Loulsburg audience. Notwithstanding the many difficul ties with which North Carolina poets have had to contend, such as lack of leisure, lack of correct and discrimi nation criticism, lack of an apprecia tive reading public, yet more than a bvndred volumes, from leather to leaflet, of North Carolina poems have appeared, bald the speaker. l)r. Moore confined himself for the most part to what Reconsidered the seven major poets of this State. Not leust of these, he spoke at consider able length of Kdwin Wiley filler, who was born in this city Noveta^er 3?, 1847. Many of his roiatlves live In tills city now, some of whom were present last night. Dr. Moore reck oned him as a poet of the first rank, aud his masterpiece. "The Angle in the Cloud," will rank with tlie very finest literature of our time The other six major poets' which the speaker mentioned, and whose production he briefly reviewed, were William Henry Rhodes, born at Wind sor, his chief volume of poems being "Indian Gallpws and Otlior Poems"; Mrs. Mary B$Td Clarke, of Raleigh, wtoae chief poem was.

"Fugitive Lines"?and "A Stady of Southern Poetry" entitles Un to a high place In the literature ot the State. The address-was " al rich literary feaat from beginning to end, and was thoroughly enjoyed by a large au dience.

Although Mr. Gupton lives In Loulsburg township, and enjoys the advantages of good roads he tells us he could not help but enter Into the spirit of the occas ion and lent all the assistance he had to the good work. , This is only another Instance, which goes to prove that If tho principle was used on all roads with a little personal Interest on the part of all parties concerned the whole coun ty could have the best of roads at practically no cost.

"Acordlng to accounts given by prisoners, our corps inflicted heavy losses upon the Germans who at tempted to bar the way, particularly Jn the lake region and the forest near Chita. ??Reports just Riven by various in divlduals belonging to this corps who managed to eRcape show the corps was ready to fight until Its strength was completely exhausted, gallantly repulsing attacks of four fronts, retaining its artillery and taking with it many German prison ers. \ "Severe "fighting continues on the right banks of the Bobr and N'arew rivers German detachments which took the offensive near Ossowetz on February 21 were forced back by the fire of our artillery. Fighting has, been in progress north of Lomza on the roads to Kadzilowo, Artchout chlna and Kolno. In spite of attacks by strong forces we hold Jedwarbno.

"The German offensive continues in the Przasnysz district. Three at tacks upon Przasnyz were repulsed our armoured automobiles assisting greatly in this respect.

C., Feb, 23.?The sending of the shipping bill' to a con ference committee was the most im portant happening of the post week. The flank movement of the propon ents of this measure in driving it through the House of Representatives under the whip and spur of party action as an amendment to tho week's bill, which had already been passed by the Senate, met an Insurmountable obstacle In the desertion of some of its former friends when it returned to the Senate. In order to stave off cer tain-defeat the Democrats sent it to conference with an agreement not to report it back for final action until the 27th. Senator Flethcher states that he expects to reach an agreement that will prove satisfactory, but just how this wMl be done is not so clear. To provide for perman ent Government ownership and operation of the vessels would win back the progressive' republican votes but such a provision would at the same time lose for the measure some of Its present supporters: Tho opponents of the bill, who seem to have the best of- tho fight so far. are confident that it is dead and will not be reported back from conference on the 27th and even if it is reported they claim they can very easily talk It to death by the time Congress ad journs on the 4th of March. The sidetracking of this bill greatly clarifies I ha outlook as to an extra session. Appropriation bills now have the right of way and all other cloture propositions, which, occupied several days, have been dropped, afleast for the Ume being. The legislative machinery has been speeded up and In the Senate appropriation bills are being passed at the rate of about one a day. The sundry civil and the legislative, executive and judicial bills, carrying about $160,000,00. were disposed of with very little debate. The committee amendments were practically all agreed to and points of order against any amendments not previously provided for wero usually sustained by the Chair. The House of Representative* cot down the diplo matic and con3Ular appropriation bill nearly half a million dollars before Its passage. Several lively skirmishes ocenred, at times almost reaching the mud slinging stage. An effort was made to Insert a provision requiring the President to take such steps as might be necesary to have Cuba reim burse the United States for expenses Incurred during the pacification of the Island. Tills would have amounted to over six and alialf million dollcrs but out on a point of order by Rep ?Mentative Mr Ken a!?, of Illinois. He Vmtod that he oppo??! any policy of the United State? to act aa ad Inter do so It should not ask any other government to bear the- expenses. The Government has. adopted a policy of watching and waiting in the war zone question. .Although adher ing strictly to the warning sent to the belligerents against the destruction ot American lives or vessels no further action Will be taken. Germany's threat to wage relentless submarine war on all shipping entering the war zone has caused . a very critical situation and Government officials are keeping close watch In anticipation of any act that would require decisive steps to be taken. Both Germany and England in reply to the United States note ot warning charged violations ot the rules of International warfare, but as has been pointed out, the breaking down of these rules and doctrlnea between the beligerenU should not affect their status as between..a neu tral such as the United" States and Great Britain or Germany. The first American vessel to meet disaster was the Evelyn, laden with cotton and bound for Bremen, which struck a mine near Borkum Island in the North Sea and sank. This was outside of the recently established war zone and directly off the German coast. A full investigation by the diplomatic agpnts has been ordered and a report la ex pected at an early date. Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, one of the chief factors in passing the new banking and currency law, predicted that the United States was destined to become the financial and commer cial mistress ot the world, owing t* the present stability of the banking syBtem as established by the Federal Reserve Act. He pointed out that every nation necessarily endeavors to conserve its gold supply and a nation's foreign debts are therefore balanced by the Imports and exports. Consequently, be added, the nation which interferes with the exchango of goods between its peoples and those of tir lands Is but curtailing the pros perlt^spf Its people. In tliiKEast room of the White House on ftaturday last President Wilson, in tne presence of a distin guished gathering, pressed a gold telegraph key thereby officially open ing the Panama Exposition at San Francisco. The electric spark sent out from Washington opened the gates at the exposition grounds and started the fountains in the presence of nearly 250,000 persons assembled tor the oc casion. The telegraph key used was of solid gold studded with nuggets set upon a marble slab and was used tor a similar purpose by ex-President Taft at the opening of the Alaska Yukon Exposition in 190?. Cruelty to Animals. We publish below he following com munication received by us the past To the Editor: the betterment of our town, I feel that you will willingly do all In your pow er to abolish a terrible cruelty which exists among us, perhaps unknown to many. While we do not claim lor-Louls burg a superioity in all things, I sup pose no place responds more readily or more liberally to the appeals of Buttering humanity, or acknowledges so fully, In a practical way. the brotherhood of man. Jlfst now there are among us many silent sufferers, whose services are invaluable, which seem to be for gotten, the horses and mules, which, in the condition of our streets for the last few weeks, are often Incapable of moving the heavy loads placed upon them, while the drivers In their irritation and unreasonableness vpnt their anger by lashing the poor crea tures, whose helplessness should ex cite their pity. The load Is not lighten ed by tills so-called higher order of animal, who. in his inhuman cruelty, shows his Inferiority to the creatures he controls. Cannot something be done In their behalf by superior man? Must sympathy and klndncsB stop with his fellow man? Can It not extend farther, &nd let the brute creation feel its wondrous power? WI1J not those who would grow Indlgndbt at a lighter cruelty see that 'the law which should protect these helpless creatures be enforced, not only once In years perhaps, but for each viola tion ? Then perhaps It will not be forgotten. .. ? Often along the streets and road sides, we notice that fines wlM be Im posed for different things; why not let It thus be known that for cruelty to beasts a fine worthy of consideration will be demanded. Place this notice at the entrance of every road leading Into our town, and along the highways and hedges, that those who tear the power of the law may be reminded of the necessity for governing their cruel passions. Let's work to wipe out this terrible blot, which mars to a great deg^ke the beautiful charity and humanity ot ourVeople, and let this appeal to their higher natures not only excKe their sympathy, but action. - Now is the time to right this wrong; not this week or next week; but now.
