Counter Revolutionary Movement Is Successful in Turning Ebert Gov ernment Out of Berlin Two Gov ernments Matching Wits and Forces to Gain Conttel. A Berlin dispatch of the 13th gives the following: v. . . vw i rr Kat tn amsf afltriw rr im n nnn H UJ. A AAA atlU OVbblJlg U CV lie TV au ministration in the capital. President Ebert and his cabinet, offering no armed resistance to the revolutionary troops wnach invaded; Berlin from the suburbs, have gone j to Dresden and established the seat of their government in that city, The new government which has been provisionally proclaimed here with ut- Wolff gang Kapp as chan cellor, has declared the National As sembly dissolved and announced that new elections would be held. The old government through its majority Socialist members, includ ing Pres. Ebert, has issued a procla mation calling for a general strike as the-only means of saving Germany from the return of William II. Reports from outside Berlin declare the counter revolutionary movement has affected the troops in large num bers throughout the country, the new security guards as well as the old army forces. The Kapp government, in a state ment to the pres declared itself neither reactionary nor monarchistic. A dispatch of the 14th states: The two governments of Germany are now matching wits and forces to gain control of the republic. Dr. Wolfgang Kapp, who proclaim ed the new order at Berlin and him self chancellor, is employing all his efforts to assure the German people that the' government under him and those he selects to administer affairs will mean true democracy, increased productiveness and conservation of the rights of the working people. Frederich Ebert, president of the old government, who, with most of his ministers, hastily withdrew from Berlin when the revolting troops marched in and Kapp and von Luett witz took control, is variously re ported to be at Dresden or Stuttgart, and from this point of security is calling upon the socialist and working classes generally to stand by the old government and to use the strike weapon so that the counter revolu tion may be promptly suppressed. In response to this appeal a gen eral strike has been proclaimed in many places, but in other parts of Germany the call for a strike has not been received with favor. A bloodless revolution thus far has characterized the movement upon Berlin, where the people are viewing events with that serenity to which they have been accustomed by the occurrence of recent years. News of the revolution sustained the conviction of some officials and diplomats in Washington that a test of strength between the Socialists and the 'military and conservative ele ments was inevitable, according to a Washington dispatch- They said the military and conser vative parties had seized upon every demand of the Entente for the en forcement of the armistice and peace terms to goad the pride of the Ger man people into resistance and had not found it difficult to fasten re sponsibility for the acceptance of these terms on the Ebert government. A dispatch from The Haguft states that neither the former emperor nor the crown prince is implicated, so far as can be learned- THE BITING CAT HAD RABIES. Cat Which Bit Sons of Mr. W. E. Keetoe Had Rabies So Reports State Laboratory of Hygiene. Dr. E- R.

STATE HIGHWAYS IN ROBESON 88 Miles of This Highway in Robe - son in Good Condition Robeson Ranks Third 6 Trucks Now Used) On These Roads Stat,. Highways j Inspector Pleased With Work ini This County, j All of the 88 miles of State highway , in Robeson is, now in paod serviceable liiua) J" xwoeson in-pectin? xne roads. The highways of only two oi tne ten counties covered by Mr- .Lampley are in better condition than those of Robeson, Mr. Lampley toid a Robesonian reporter Friday after noon. New Hanover ranks first, Cum berland second and Robeson third One half the expense of keeDinsr un the highways is borne by the high way commission and one-half by the county. Work on these highways was begun last September and the work has been supervised by Mr. W. B. Covington, county puperintendent of roads. Six State highway trucks are now en gaged in improving these roach The roads that make up the 88 miles of! State highway in Robeon are: Fav ptteville read from Cumberland coun ty lme to Lumberton: Creek road from Lumberton to Columbus county line at iveys bluff; Rowland road irom Lumberton to South Carolina line, near Rowland; Maxton road from Lumberton to Scotland county line; and the Red Springs road from Lum berton to Hoke county line. Mr. I.rmpley expressed -himself as being highly pleased with the work being cor.e in this county under the diret-tior of Mr. Coving-o-i. It is the purpose of the highway commission to aid in maintaining the roads leading from one county seat to another. When asked why it was that the road leading from Lumber ton to Elizabethtown, was not includ ed in the Robeson list, Mr- Lampley said that it jnight be included later. One reason given why it had not al ready been included was the fact that Wishart township, through which the road passes, has not voted bonds for road building and therefore would not be m position to pay its part for building the road in that township. Mr. Lampley finds all the people in favor of good roads, but in some counties he finds that they are no willing to put up the money neces sary for building and maintaining them.

Bold Store Robberies Under the Eyes of Crowds. In New York Friday night, while Broadway was thronged with theatre goers, 3 armed bandits smashed in the window of a jewelry store at 37th street, kept the crowds at bay withjf'xing the powers of the chief exe revolvers until thev had emntied thei the contents of several trays into their pockets, and then escaped, shoot ing one pedestrian who attempted to stop them. A few minutes later 3 men entered another Broadway jew elry store a few blocks up town and after throwing pepper in a clerk's eyes grabbed some trays of jewelry and ran. Similar bold robberies have occurred in other cities lately. Per haps the most audacious took place in Baltimore one day last week in broad daylight. About 11 a. m. four men and a woman drove up in an auto in front of a jewelry store on Charles street, which was thronged with shoppers, and while one remain ed at the wheel with the engine run ning, two of the men went to the show window, smahed it with hatch ets, grabbed trays containing diamond rings their confederates keeping the crowd away with their revolvers the while and then jumped in the auro and made good their escape.

He quoted article five of the State constitution to the effect that all real and personal property shall be -assessed according to its true val ue ;. in money. He declared that he favored thkevaluation act because the purpose intended by it is to right a wrong of long standing by comply ing with this contitutional provision "The adoption of a 100 per cent ba sis of value in making assessment of prpperty is essential for the reason that there is no other way to secure uniformity," said Mr. Page, He urg edi!h? adPtion f. the income taxiHouse, endorsed the Legislature t:ck amfendment and endorsed the Inhen- et.

Success depends upon the advocacy of meas ures that will, if accepted, advance the well-being of the people.' "It shall be my purpose," Mr. Page continued, "if elected Governor to in sist upon legislative authority for a thorough business survey by recog nized organization experts of all our governmental agencies, with the one purpose of attaining the greatest possible efficiency in the adminis-f tration of government. j "Some time ago in a public speech I endorsed the Revaluation act. I do endorse it for the reason that it is an honest effort to carry into ef fect thA most important mandate con tained in the above quoted clause of the constitution. In my judgment, all the glaring inequalities that have be come nauseating to honest men come because of a departure from the 10U per cent standard of value for pur poses of assessment. Whenever this standard is departed from and the bars let down competition begins be tween individuals and sections as to which can list property at the lowest percentage of real value, with the re sult that those having least conscience win, while every honest man is pen alized and forced, bedause of bis hon esty, to bear the burdens of govern ment beyond his proportionate share, and the spirit and letter of the law is violated in the interest of the dishon est. "The carrying out of the purpose intended by th Revaluation act is to right a wrong of long standing by complying with this constitutional provision. The adoption of a 100 per cent basis of value in making assess ment of property is essential for the reason that there is no other way to secure uniformity I favor the adoption of the mcome x amendment. levying a tax ior tate purposes unon the surplus of an amount above that necessary for the comfortable support ot a family. ; INDIAN DEATHS FROM "FLU."

Prevatt's entir,, fam ily were down at one time with the "flu" recently, but all are now able to be up. I believe in the application of the in heritance tax. "Believing that publicity is the best cure for any injustice inflicted, the assessments placed upon property in each given locality should be pub licly posted. Nothing would contri bute more to the removal of either in justice done or favoritism shown. For this purpose the school district should be made the unit. "In North Carolina we need now more money to be expended upon our schools and for the betterment of our public health. We cannot afford to allow our stinginess to send even the present generation of children through life crippled in either mind or body. We must do all that can be done to eradicate disease, but where we fail, and it enters the poor man's home, the State should give him the advantage of the same efficient sur geons, nurses and hospitals as the purse of the rich command. All this extra money should be raised by forms of taxation that will not in crease the burdens of those unable to bear them, but, largely from the unneeded surplus of those who will not miss it. Touching upon the problems of re construction growing out of' the world war, Mr. Page said: "By some means we must, if pro ductioa in sufficient quantity for the world's needs is to be maintained, make, to each of the elements en tering into it, production mutually profitable. The man or the men who can propose a plan, and persuade cap ital nd labor to accept it, will, in my judgment, have solved our largest problem. 1 "The best proposal yet advanced, and proving a success wherever tried, is profit sharing through or ganized "Industrial Democracy. To accomplish this prejudices must be eradicated; antagonism give place to mutual consideration. , Capital , must cease to be an ogre in the eyes of la- bor and capital must cease to view labor as a commodity.'
