If in need of mti emetio take a glance at the picture on the fourth page of last week's Spencer Ores cent. v " Talking about welfare work, that picture in the Sunday paper showing fifty-four little girls of the White Oak Mills, ' workers, Grsensboro, that had made their own dresses, takes-' the palm. That's welfare work that is worth -while, :. - A Raleigh item says the Stated funds are running low. Yes it seems they are since Treasurer Laoy has just borrowed $60,000 to erect a water plant at the State Hospital, Morganton, and only $15,000 to be spent at the Univer sity. Of course it is better to bor row $15,000 than more, but the idea of the State's treasury being so near empty is what jars a fel low. Last Thursday night at the meeting of the oity board of alder men. Mayor W. H. Woodson read a report of financial opera tions during the past two years. This report indicated that the city has not only lived - within ita in oome but has paid $16,170 on in herited debts. The Watchman thinks this is an excellent showing and that the board deserves the commendation of the public The Watchman has never taken any stock in the idea that a city should be eternally in debt. It should eonserve its resouroes and be ready at all times to pay for what it gets when it gets it,, just as in the case of any properly oouduot 'd business The prosperous city, or the prosperous county or state, is the one that ib out of debt and has a good sized bank account to meet any emergency, surely not the reverse. Mayor Woodson and his board have done well and it is to be hop9d they will continue in this praiseworthy, course. A Christian gentleman! Just picture for yourself, if possible, what a lofty eharaeter a man ought to have to deserve such a compliment. Matt W. Ramson, was a brilliant man and knew what a gentleman ought to be, but, strictly speaking he was neith er a Christian nor a, gentleman, exeept in a limited way, i, e: When in the presence of the cler gy, ladies and his equals. We might take it for granted that President Wilson is a Christian gentleman, but a man of honor would not so state without having the necessary information to justi fy same. But, behold, if some. are to be believed, the day and time for Virtue to parade, brazen and naked, in the market place, fcas arrived and what was once shame and disgrace is now proper a ad even commendable; and, Chris tian gentlemen, why there are more of them in the penitentiary, or ought to be there, than will be able to crowd around the great white throne.

B. ANDREWS. f New York. The board of directors f Southern Railway Company paid a high tribute to the memory of the late Col. A. B. Andrews, first vice-president and for many years member of the board, who died at his home' in Raleigh, N. C, on April 17, 1915, in the following resolutions: "In Memoriam, Alexander Boyd Andrews. "Alexander Boyd Andrews was born In Franklin county, North Carolina, on the 23d day of July, 1841. He tendered his services to the Confed eracy In April, 1861, and in June of that year, before he was 20 years of age, was made a second lieutenant in Company E of the First regiment of North Carolina cavalry, Confed erate States Army. He served with distinguished gallantry until, in Sep tember, 1863, he was shot through the chest and lung by the fragment of a shell at Jack's Shop, near Gordons ville, Va. After recovering from this serious wound he found, when peace was re-established, the whole Indus- trial life of the South prostrate as a result of war and the people among whom he lived confronted with the task of rebuilding their social, and of creating an industrial, system on new lines. He became a factor of prime importance in this creative and constructive work. Realizing the ne cessity for transportation in any plan of reorganization and reconstruction, he entered railroad life. His first service was with the Raleigh and Gas ton and with the Raleigh and Au gusta- railroads, and as their superin tendent for eight years he was the principal factor in their rehabilitation after the ravages of war. AVith the R. and D. "His efficiency in this work brought him an offer of promotion from the Richmond and Danville Railroad Com pany, and in 1875 he became super intendent of its North Carolina di vision. He remained with this and other predecessors of Southern Rail way Company and with the South ern itself uninterruptedly until his death, a period of forty years. Be ginning with the office of superin- wnaeui, ne worsea nis way up through various intermediate grades until he became first vice-president and a director of this company, which position he held at the time o his death and had held for many years. "His active railroad work had thus extended over a period little short of half a century. "During that trne the principal construction and organization work of the railroads of the South has been done, and the industrial life of the South itself has been reorganized and rebuilt. In this accomplishment Col onel Andrews was a vital force. Pos sessing a strong and dominating per sonality, virile and commanding in character and intellect, he threw him self into his great work with Irre sistible, will and purpose. His achievements, which were many, richly entitle him to a place among the great constructive forces of his State and section. Completed Western Road. "Among these achievements was the completion of the Western North Carolina railroad,' from Old Fort, over the mountains, through AshevUle,-to Paintt.Rqck, and its branches. Thus througlr" "his, efforts was opened up the great industrial section of western North Carolina. Population ."and 'de velopment and industries followed his pioneer act, and every person in that rich and Inviting territory is now, and UexIcdUust Get Quiet, Says Wilson. -i Washington. May 29. An nouncement that President Wilson ! would demand a settlement the Mexican problem by the warring taotions tnemselves within a short time and failing that, that adopt some means, not denned as yt, so bring about peace, basdevloped acute interest in official and di plomatic quarters as to the pros pectire aotioh of the United StateB.

The Western North Carolina Railroad will remain a monument to the useful and honorable achle'vjements of Colonel Andrews, who was its builder. "His life was not an easy one, for it was his lot to encounter and over come great difficulties. His activity his positive and . purposeful character and his touch with great things Drought him into sharp conflicts with important forces. In the midst ol them all he bore himself with a cour age ana virility which commanded universal respect and enabled him to crown his efforts with notable sue cess. In every trust and in every re lation of life he was loyal and faith- rul and true. On the Personal Side. "On his personal side he was a man of compelling and attractive person amy anu was greatly honored and beloved. He married in 1869 Miss Julia M. Johnston, daughter of Col. William Johnston, of Charlotte, N. C, who was president of the Charlotte. Columbia and Augusta Railroad Com pany. With her as his helpmate he built up an exceptionally happy and beautiful home life, which he distin guisnea by the most cordial and liberal hospitality. L 1 -rr . e was a devoted husband and father and followed his children, even after they were grown, with undimin ished parental tenderness and solici tude. "ie took a deep interest in the welfare of Confederate veterans and In the establishment and maintenance for them of the Confederate Soldiers' home in Raleigh. "Although himself deprived of the benefits of a college education, he was an earnest friend and supporter of the University of North Carolina, Deing tor many years a member of its board of trustees and of its ex ecutive committee. "He came to realize the value of a religious life and connected himself as a communicant with the Protest ant Episcopal church, being an active and zealous member of the Church of the Good Shepherd of Raleigh, for which in the latter years of his life his munificence helped to provide a new and stately place of worship. Devoted to Native State. "He was devoted in his attachment to the state of North Carolina. No exigency of business or of personal in terest was strong enough to persuade him to make his home elsewhere. He believed in the sturdiness, the sense of justice and the patriotism of its people, and if at any time thev. in his judgment, erred, his faith in the ultimate triumph of their sense of right was unwavering and supreme. te was always willing to leave his name and fame in their keeping, in the confidence that their ultimate judgment would correctly anDraise and appreciate his purposes and his work. "His death has brought universal sorrow and regret wherever he was known, but especially in the South, where his life was spent and his work most largely done. - . - ne secretary is directed to ex press to the surviving members of Colonel Andrews' family the respect ful sympathy of this board and to transmit to them a suitably en grossed and attested transcript of this minute." President Wilson had Jiad uLder consideration for some time with the object of restoring peace. The text of the President's forthcoming statement is an offi cial secret, bnt from- those who advised with him prior to its pre paration it is understood Mr, Wilson will address not only the military leaders in Mexico, but the Mexican people and at the same time the people of the Unit ed States. He will review iu de tail the course of events in Mexico since the assassination of Madero and Soarez and the usurpation of the presidency by Huerta . The pronouncement, it i said, will call attention to the fact 'that the United States Government. by refusing to recognize Huerta, assisted in driving him out of power and expected from the victorious Constitutionalists the re -establishment of a government. i2)l!!JiUbvJ You can always find here a r.lost any style and at a price to Sample Shoes, Big lot of odd pair of low cnt shoes of all kinds for men, women, children and boys.
