Government Washington Dispatch, Feb. 28 The Associated Press is enabled T.i reveal that Gertriny, in planning ..r.vestrieted submarine warfare and Cvur.ting its consequences, proposed an alliance with Mexico and Japan! to mcike war on the United Stlates if :'-;s country should not remain neu tral. Japan, through Mexican mediation, was to be urged to abandon her allies and join in the attack on the Unit ed States. Mexico, for her reward, was to re ceive general financial support from Germany, reconquer Texas, New Mexico and Arizona lost provinces and share in the victorious peace terms Germany contemplates. Details were left to German Min ister von Eckhardt in Mexico City, who by instructions signed by Ger man Foreign Minister Zimmerman, at Berlin, January 19, 1917, was di rected t opropose the alliance with Mexico to General Carranza and sug gest that Mexico seek to bring Japan into the plot. Instructions Sent Through Bernstorff These instructions were transmit ted to yon Eckhardt through Count von Bernstorff, former German Am bassador here, now on his way home to Germany under a safe conduct obtained from his enemies by the country against which he was plot ting war. Germany pictured to Mexico, by broad intimation, England and the Entente Allies defeated; Genrany and her allies triumphant and in world domination by the instrument of unrestricted submarine warfare.

The educational bill creating a un form examination and certification with a regular board of institute con ductors has been reported favorably. There are 3 women and 3 men m the board of institute conductors. They would be paid from the $13,000 raised for institute work, plus the $12,000 necessary for salaries and expenses taken from the equaliza tion board. Mr. Gough introduced a bill Tues day to control the distribution of funds to the Cherokee Normal of Robeson. The Senate Tuesday killed the Murphy boiler inspection bill which had passed the House providing for one inspector to work under the di rection of the State Commissioner of Labor and amended in the Senate committee to provide for 6 inspec tors. Senator Gough thought there was a joker somewhere and suspect ed was making a lot of new and needless jobs for somebody. A bill which originated in the House to give Supreme court justices 100 each for examining applicants to practice law has met opposition in the Senate. The court desired to bj relieved of the burden of holding examinations twice a ve&r and the State Bar Association asked for a bill allowing it to name from its! membership a nominating committee;' but the House killed that and thought it would fix things right by giving each of the justices $100 for the ex tra trouble. The money for holding these examinations does not come from the State but from individual applicants. The Supreme court has handed down a decision to the effect that a general municipal law covering char ter chjanges and extensions is un necessary. If a city wishes here after to change its charter it has the same machinery employed in for mer charters. This decision gives comfort to those who have opposed the provision of the Pegram bill that would allow towns to extend their limits by a vote of both the citizens however, that he had not come to support the efforts of the pacifist group, and in a general way endors ed President Wilspn's address to Congress. Another aggravating incident was added to the situation today by the receipt of word from Germany that four American consuls were being held there because a German consul on his way from the United States to Ecuador had been delayed in Cu ba. A statement of the facts with a request for immediate release was j cabled tonight. which greatly adds to the beauty of the trees and the appearance of the ! siriewalk.Sucn things are notk'able,ar.!

Immediately after the shooting Bul lard fled and has not been arrest ed. It is said that Bullard is a bad negro and that he took two shots at his wife Sunday, but neither of them took effect. Bullard is supposed to have shot his wife because he want ed to move and she refused to go with him.

Mrs. Mattie McGoogan and Mr. Ernest McGoogan of Rennert spent Sunday in Buie. One of the main roads leading out from Buie has been nicely fixed for a stretch of two miles by Mr. J. A. Stanton. Raise Something to Hep Out Now that spring weather has made its arrival it would be wise in folks to plant their gardens and raise something just as early as possible to help out , while the price of all foodstuff is soaring so high. Any thing that either man or beast can eat is selling high and everything seems to be scarce. Double Victory for Prohibition Washington Dispatch, Feb. 28. Prohibition won a double victory in Congress tonight when the House passed by a vote of 273 to 137 the Senate bill to make the national capi tal dry and Senate and House con ferees on the postal appropriation bill unexpectedly added an agreement under which the Reed "bone dry" amendment is virtually assured of enactment. posed to be annexed. The Senate Monday passed a reso lution by Senator Turner granting a bonus of $B0 to the engineer and fireman of the capitol heating plant for their extra services during tne session of the Legislature. In connection with the considera tion of this, Chairman Holderness of the appropriations committee, read to the Senate a statement showing that the appropriations of the State must necessary run far ahead of the revenue for the next two years and that the committee was convinced of the necessity of a bond issue for permanent improvements at the State institutions. Incidentally he .said he woud personally favor the issuance of serial bonds to fall due in five years and periodically thereafter for i . i r: ii Late Tobacco Plants Coming Up Tobacco growers who sowed their tobacco plant beds over after the re cent cold spell report the plants sown plants will be a little late, but it is thought if the weather is good from now on they will be large enough to transplant in time to make a crop.

Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Caldwell are expected to return tomorrow from New York and Baltimore, where they spent . two weeks.
