PEACE IN MEXICO ALMOST ASSURED
All Fictions Are Cofldeot Troubles of Re
public Are Almost Over.
Washington, D. C, July 25
Not only government officials bat
representatives here of all Mexi
can factions expressed tonight
more confidence than ever before
that peace at last was in sight in
Mexico .
Relations between General Car
ranza and General Villa were pro
nounced as friends bjr Felioitcs
Villareal, Constitutionalists sub
seoretary of the treasury, who ar
rived here today. He declared
General Carranza was now paying
Villa's men and supplying him
with ammunition.
Some doubt had been expressed
in border reports over the fact
that agents of Villa were purchas
ing ammunition for him. Looal
Constitutionalists said agents of
all division commandes shipped
arms directly to the various forces
bat that general authority for the
purohases came from General Car
rsDza. '
State Department officials like
wise explained that Villa was get
ting his ammunition through Car
ranza and all advices pointed to a
friendly feeling between the two
chiefs. All Constitutionalists
troops are being supplied with
ammunition in reddiuess for coun
ter revolutions or other emergen
cies incident to the pacification
of Mexioo
From the Brasilian minister,
who looks after American inter
ests in Mexioo, came word that
Prnviainnal Proaiilanl Dot-n.Unl
had expressed a desirs to reach an
agreement with General Carranza
at the earliest possible moment.
The minister reported that besides
Reginaldo Cepeda, two other com
missioners had been named by
frnvisicnal r resident Carabjal
and that the latter had agreed to
Carranza's suggestion for holding
the peace conferences at Saltillo.
Mr. Uepeda is due tomorrow at
Tampico, where he will meet the
Constitutionalist chief and ar
range for the Saltillo conferences.
The necessity for a formal agree
mens is neing urgea, inasmuch as
the American government in the
protocol signed at the Niagra
tf alls mediation oonterenoe prom
ised recognition to the govern
ment sat up by agreement between
the two faotions. The Constitu
tionalists hope .forthcoming par
leys will seryHLs a substitute for
Olner Marriages. ""f
Miss Hattie Cox, of Greensboro
and A. B. Wayniok, a fireman at
Spenoer, were quietly married

. lor Niagara f ans and various
other points. Mr. Wayniok is a
well known man of Spencer and
the bride is one of Greensboro's
popular young ladies. Upon
their return they will make their
home in Spenoer.
Last Sunday morning at St.
Peter's Episcopal Chapel in this
city, George W. Daniels and

It was a Brown day at Granite
Quarry yesterday and i was no
a good day for Brown's either;
the threatning weather kepe many
ttway, yet there were several-hundred
enthaiiastio members of the
tribe prsent. especially at the fe
tive beard, and; while this was
aamntoous. it was bv no means
the only feature of interest.
Owing to the weather the orowd
gathered in the nearly complete
and handsome hall of the $3,800
granite building being erected by
Stone Lodge, Independent Order
of Odd Fellows. The Salisbury
Cornet Band was present and, af
ter several selected pieces of ex
cellent music was rendered, the
meeting was oalled to order by
Rev. G. A. Browo, of China
Grove,' who aoted as temporary
chairman, or master cf ceremo
nies. " '
Rev. M. L OanuD. a native of
Rowan, now pastor of Trinity
I Phnrnh r "tCaat Ynt raid a nillm
and Rev. B. 8. Brown, of Landis,
led in paayer.
Th9 ohairman then suggested
that the business of organization
be gone into and nominated Rev.
R. L. Blown, of Granite Quarry,
as president. Rev. Brown being
incapacitated physically, request
ed that some one more able to get
about be named, bat those present
insisted, and, by a rising, unani
moos vote was made president
Upon a declaration of the. vote
the newly made president then
nominated Rev. 0. A.' Brown as
vice president and informed him
that he would have the work to
do. Re?. R. S. Brown put the
question auft Rev. C. A. Browo
was unanimously eleoted vice
president. Several were put in
nomination for seoretary, among
whom were Miss Mary Brown,
named by Rev. Canup, Rev. B S
Brown, by Rev. Geo. YLK Oox, D.
D., who stated that Rev. Brown
was the Brownest Brown of the
entire Brown family, but Rev.
Brown declined the honor. Then
Charlie F. Brown of Granite
Quarry, was nominated and elect
ed and owing to his abscenoe, Rev.
Canup was made secretary pro tern.
Nathan Brown of that vicinity,
was nominated and unanimously
elected treasurer, . All of the
officers named were peculiarly ap
propriate and all are .thoroughly
qualified far the positions named.
E. H. Baan, Eiq., ot Salisbury,
as present and spoke of a com
municution received from A. L
James a wealthy Brown deBceud
ent, of Lanrinborg. N. C, who
suggested that exoutive, Salis
bury and local oommittees be ap
pointed and that arrangements
be made to purchase the old Mi
chael Braun residence and several
acres adjoining, for the establish
ment of a park and a Brown me
morial. The temparary chairman then
asked for suggestion, for a name
for the Brownies. Several sug
gestions were made, but The
Brown Memorial Association"
was decided' upon by a unanimous
vote. It was then decided that
the president, vice president, seo
retary and treasurer, together
with Rev. S. J. M, Brown of
Cooleemee. Frank R. Brown of
Salisbury, A. L James, of Laurin

rangements consisting of J. M.
Brawn, W. A. Brown, and Martin
L. Brown was then named .
The looal, or Granite Quarry,
committee named couaists of W.
T. Peeler, W. S. Brown and Mrs.
John A. Lyerly.
The temporary chairman moved
that aoother meeting be held
about one year hence. The mo
tion was discussed and it was de
oided to leave" the fixing of the
date of the next meeting to be
executive committee.
Rev R. L. Brown, president of
theassociasion was called for and
made a brief talk.
E. H. Bean, by permission
urged all present to turn over to
him any datta relative to the
Brown or other original familes
of the county, for use in prepar
ing a fall and complete history of
the county which he ia now en
gaged in preparing.
The business of the meeting
being complete an adjournment
for dinner was had, it being agreed
that all would gather in the grove
at 2:80 when short talks would

Dinner was served on long
tables in the grove and consisted
of a bountjful quantity of vat ions
kinds of good things for the in
uer man, temptingly prepared as
trie good ladies of that oommani
ty know how. The feast was
greatly enjoyed by the several
hundred present.

Rev. B. S. Brown was oalled.
He made a brief address relative

family re unions on earth it would
be well to remember the great

to
Ten to 20 ewes will be enough on
120 to 200-acre farm, unless it la de
cided to make sheep the leading farm
stock; as- the natural increase from
these will soon build up a flock.
uet aa gooa ewes as you can pro
cure, and they will probably be grades,
which ia all right, but remembering
that the male la more than half the
flock, never, never use any but a pure
bred buck.
The novice can easily get some repu
table dealer who knows the kind of
ewes wanted to procure him the
needed number, and I advise against
starting in to learn the sheep business
with too large a flock, but to begin
with a few animal a.
Ten good ewes can be had for about
150, the buck will cost $20 up to aa
much as you are willing to pay, and
10 lambs next July, will bring you
the cost of the whole, but this 1b not
good business.

ENTITLED TO A GOOD ROAD
Farm Is Not Ranked as First Class
Unless Improved Highways Are
Provided by Owner.
Despise not the road drag, but crit
icize yourself either for not knowing
how to use'it, or for not using it when
you do know how, simply because you
will not be paid for it The farm is
entitled to a good road alongside of it,
and is not a first-class farm unless
it has such a road. The farmer him
self is the best man to make that road
good, provided permanent bridges and
culverts have been put in, and the
necessary drainage has been done at
public expense. Then if the farmer,
for the compensation in some way
provided, will not keep his road de
cent, let him bear the reproach of the
community. A little healthy public
sentiment along this line will do more
to bring the road drag into use than
any legislation that can be placed on
he statute books.
