While it is generally believed that he was guilty of the murder of Mrs. Kit. p. yet we have no idea that he will be con victed. The trial has .been re ported quite fully in the teadinpr dailies of this stats and of New York and Chicago. The catastrophe at Halifax, Nova Scotia, was one of the most apDalling that has ever happen ed in North America. Its hor rors are described elsewhere in this paper and must excite the deepest sympathy of every read er. The destruction of life and property caused by the war in Europe has been so appalling that other events do not attract the attention which they would otherwise receive. THE Baptist State Convention, at its annual session, held last week at Djrham enfhusiasticall adopted ringing resolutions of loyalty to our governmen and in favor of a vigorous prosecu tion of our war with Germany. This bjdv represented the larg est denomination of Christians in the state whose patriotism cannot be doubted. The adop tion of these resolutions cannot be considered as favoring a union of church and sta e.

This act was passed in tfu. Senate rv unanimous vot and in the House by onlv one member voting against it, an ha wag a Socialist Jew, represen tative from New York, Prob ably most persons had thought that war had ben declared months ago against AustriaHun garv that country being com pletely under the influence and control of Germany. It is fortu nate that both Republicans and Damocrat3 were united in their unanimous vote for this declara tion of war, and yet we have no doubt that many ignorant and prejudiced Republicans through out the country will blame Pres ident Wilson and the Democratic party for it.

Monday morning 7 J M Sanders' Store, 1-rr The capture of Jerusalem by the British is one of the mot not able events of the war and ends the Mooammedan rule of that city we hope forever. For many centuries the Holy City has been in the possession of the unspeak able Turk, and all Christian ns tions ought to rejoice that at last it is now in possession of a Chris tian nation. The Crusades dur ing the Middle Ages involved an enormous loss of lives in the ef forts to wrest Jerusalem from the control of the Mahommedans and all ia vain. Not only as a matter of sen iment is the recent capture of Jerusalem a notable event, but it is also a very im portant military success because it renders more secure the Suez canal ti e possession of which is so important to the British. On lastThursday night the Uni ted States torpedo boat destrover, the Jacob Jones, was sunk by a submarine and was the first of our warships to fall victim to a German U-boat. Her command er was Lieutenant Commander David Worth Bagley, who was toorn and reared at Raleigh and who with about half of the crew were rescued from a watery grave. It is quite a coincidence that the commander of the first American warship destroyed in this war was a brother of Ensign Worth Bagley who was the first Stomach Trouble and Constipation. Those vvho re alllicted with stom j ach trou -le nd constipat on should read he folkmini: "i have never Sound mivthmj; so good for stomach trouble and constipation as Chamber lain's Tablets. I have usd them on" aud n now for the past two years. They not only regulate the-1 ction of the bowels but giiwulate the liver and keep one's body in a healthv condi tion." writes Mrs. B njamin Hooper, Auburn, N. Y. adv The Interned Germans. From the Weekly W -t News Digest. The interned Germans at the nation at Hot Sonngs, N. C, are not prisoners of war. They comprise officer and crews of the German merchant vessels which were held in the United States at the time of declaration of war. These aliens receive no funds from the government except com pensation fo: labor actually per formed. Those engaged in con struction work get 20 a month, with an addifirnal $5 to foremen. Interned officers have not been permitted to receive from anv source more than $10 a month and crewmen not more than $5 Receipts in excess of thesp amounts are plac-d to the credit of t e aliens in bank. There plain hut meals are prepared each day. There is no waste, the same mea sures of economy and conserva tion which are being urged upon ever American housewife being practiced at Hot Springs. a.-tu M(i i-S poles to a lighr- I siake. wen!: cornering u a .t k: 15 !
