The conversations and letters he recited ran ail through the years when he was candidate and Governor and through his campaigns and administrations as President. Yet during his last term as President he reappointed Barnes to the Federal cilice, some collectorship. that he first held under McKinley. Bad man that Barnes was. Roosevelt auiessed in all his badness and appointed him to high office. I: is made clear that Barnes never kept hid , , . . . , j ings witn tne men wno tarnished the money for the campaigns and his motives for asking favors for them.

That letter has been repudiated by Republican campaigners in past campaigns but it cannot be denied again. This Barnes trial hss furnished the country Rooseveli's own ad mission under oath of the genuine ness of that disputed letter. Mr. Roosevelt also admitted on the cross-examination that he knew of the $3,000,000 camp fund subscribed mainly by the repre sentatives of big business to under sure his election of 1904. Since his defeat in the Chicago convention for the Republican nomination in 1912. Roosevelt has been posing as a great reformer. But compare his attitude to cor rupt politics, to the men who sought to buy favors with cam paign contributions, to the atti tude of Woodrow Wilson. When Henry Watterson and Colonel Harvey, two of his closest politi cal friends, during the pre-con-vention campaign, suggested at a private dinner which after wards became famous, bringing - " TKUMSMKSSCU.rUON , 60c '''' 62 .Ltniimrthcsta;e:nent n-,..,-ii- nii!i whicn tiv i' of lihp! is made.

Woodrow Wilson disgusted Wat terson and Harvey by flatly tell ing them that he would meet no representative of big business and would accept no contribution from sucn a source. Anu aiter m nomination, when it became known to him that his campaign treasurer had accepted a con siderable contribution from a personal friend and adviser of his whn wna prmnpp.tpd With the International Harvester trust, be required the money to be return led. Since he has beenPresident the poorest and richest men have re ceived the same treatment, con sideration and courtesies. Big business has learned that it can buy no favors but that it will receive no punishment because it is big, so long as it obeys the laws of the land. And small business knows that it can receive no favors because it is small, but that it can feel sure that it will not be allowed to be crushed or imposed on by its larger rivals. All partnerships between busi ness and the government have been dissolved. The dissolution at first was not at all pleasing to some of the big favorites, and there has been much evidence of studied attempt to curtail busi ness and employment of labor in order to restore the party of the old corrupt practices that Col Roosevelt has been swearing to at Syracuse to power in 1916, But, m spite oi this conspiracy, The New Freedom" of Wood- row Wilson is taking a deep hold on the country. Honest big business, and honest little busi ness, alike is making honest pro fits and every man has a fair deal. Before the election of 1916 the country will have become so thoroughly satisfied with and committed to the policies of Woodrow Wilson that a return to the old partnership of big busi ness and government, will be a proposition positively ' ridiculous. A NEW STAGE OF THE WAR BEGINNING. The wTar news is getting inter esting again. Months ago Lord Kitchener announced that the war would really begin May.lst. And last week it was given out that there are now 750,000 British soldiers in France and as many more drilling in England. This announcement was taken to mean that the allies were about ready to begin an offensive movement against the German western bat tle line. But the newrs of the last few days indicate that the Germans are not going to let the allies chose the time for the trial of ; strength in the West - Al Al On ac count of the thawing of the snow in Russia and the Carparthian mountains there will be a cessa tion of fighting on acconnt of the miry condition of the ground for a while in the east. This gives the Germans a chance to move a large part of the Eastern army to the West. It is said a half million have already been transferred. Germany's fine railroad system makes it easy to move troops from one battle field to another, and this advantage they have often used to check the Russians on one side and the French and British on the other. Whether the new British army will be thrown into action to meet this rush of the Germans and carry out their plan to push the Germans out of Belgium and France at this time, or only use enough to hold their trenches until Germany has to make an other transfer to hold back the Russians, is yetto be determined. We are of the opinion that the latter course will be taken. We do not believe that England will make the big drive, until condi tions are favorable for Russia to put forth a supreme effort in the East. But enough of the new army will have to be used to keep the Germans from break ing through to the coast, and there is going to be some severe fighting within the next few days. It will possibly surpass any that has taken place since the beginning of the war. The news is going to be very interesting from this time on. Maud to John Did you know "The American Girls" are at Grand Thursday night? Let's go, its a big show, eleven people. aid to and we Ex-Congressman John Fai son committed suicide at his home at Faison on Wednesday of by shootin? himself Bad health is given as the cause, He retired from Congress March 4th. The wave of hot weather which we have been experiencing has been extremely severe in the Western States. In Chicago and Detroit there have been many prostrations, and one death in Chicago, All April records for high temperatures have been broken. The Kronsprinz Wilhelm, the fjprman cruiser which came into I Newport News three days after the Eitel interned has given no- ice that it will also intern. The Captain talked as big as tne other one did about going out, but he could not work up much excitement. People thought from the first that he was bluff ing. It is reported that the German fleet of battle ships is now cruis ing in the North Sea looking for the British fleet. Some excite ment prevailed for several days, as it seemed likely that a great naval battle was at last to be fought But little credence is now given to mis reyuru x. li- A T4- would not be difficult Ito find the British fleet if the Germans real ly wish to find it. The rivers and creeks in the central section of Texas were at floodtidethe latter part of last week. Twenty-one persons are known to have been drowned and twenty-two others are miss ing. Of the drowned fourteen were at Austen, three at San Marcus and two at Bastrop. At Austen 200 houses were washed away. In Southern Texas, the Brazos and Colorado rivers are out of bank and rising rapidly. In a large portion of Texas the crops have been drowned out and the land will have to be replanted. Trip to Morganton vialSonth Mountains. Sunday Mr. Jones of North Newton took Mr. and Mrs. James Setzer, Miss Nra McRee and A. Q. Isenhower and family to Morganton to visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Edmonson. We will report some of our experiences that happened on the road as they might.be of interest to someone. We got along fine until we got beyond Hildebran when we took the wrong fork of the road which led us considerably to the south of Morganton. When it became apparent to us that we were on the wrong road, we met a man who told us that we could contin ue going in that direction until we came to a small village called Enola then we could turn north and come into town on theShelby road which was a fine top soil road, or we could turn and go back, or that we might be able to get to Morganton over what is called the Old Laurel road which was a very rough road the last time he traveled over it, but that it might be in better condi tion now as the county had re cently spent $500 towards im proving it. So we had three propositions to choose between, according to this man's descrip tion the $500 road was not the one for a motor car, to go back we would have about five miles of very rough road to go over again, so we decided to go by Enola. We went on some dis tance when we came to a fork of the road which according to the direction we had taken we thought would lead us into Eno la but which soon proved to be the famous $500 road which led through the South Mountains, We had to cross a little river six times, about one dozen small streams all to be forded except the river one time and one creek. We stuck in the river one time by getting into too deep water but we got out as soon as we disposed of the surplus water in eugine. Several times we stuck in mud holes and had to prise out, on one occasion it took two of us to keep the car from turn ing over. Our folks had to walk several miles because the car had all it could do to pull itself through the mud. We finally arrived at our destination at 11.30 quite worn, both in looks John: .1 .-i 7 - -'" ana leenngs. we were iuiu uiai. ir- i tl h "n" 1 saas&g feelings.

The Rhyne Dry Gocds Bnsiness and Store house Sold to Hickory Parties. Last Saturday Rhyne Brotheis sold their stock of dry goods; and store building adjoining the Enterprise office to Mr. A. A. Whitenerand Mr. Julius Aber nethy, jr. c-f Hickory. Mr. Abernethy gets the stock of gocds for $3000 and Mr. Whitener the building for $5000, Both get good bargains, as the goods would inventory at about $6000 and the building could not be put up now for le3 than $7000. But the Messrs. Rhyne have for some time been desirous of retiring from the dry goods business, as they stated in several special sales advertisements last year. They will continue the hardware business and both will give their attention in the future exclusive ly to that business. Mr. Whitener has leased his building to Mr. Abernethy one year and he will continue the dry goods business, we learn at the old stand. We welcome both Mr. Abernethy and Mr. Whitener as property owners in Newton. Declaiiqers' Contest.

Washington, April 27 The heat wave of the last few days which broke all April records in many places, had moderated tc night. Reports to the Weather Bu reau tonight gave these records as the highest ever reached in in April: Richmond, Va., 96 degrees; Washington, D. C, 95; Hartford, Conn., Albany, N. Y. and New York City 90; Wytheville, Vai 88 and Asheville, N. C. 86. Previous high' records for April were equalled at Philadelphia with 92 degrees and Atlantic City 84. Generally fair weather through out the country except for some thunder storms and scattered showers was predicted today by the Weather Bureaufor the week beginning Wednesday. The hot spell over the East will be broken by Saturday or Sunday. "In the middle Atlantic States," says the forecast, "tem peratures will average consider ably above the normal, although there will be a change to lower temperature the latter half of the week. Generally fair weath er the first half of the week will probably be followed by showers and local thunders tooms between the first and fourth." Although British railroads rank fourth among the nations in regard to the mileage, they carry more passengers every year than are carried in any other country.
