NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY. JAN. 18. 1916. PRICK TWO UBAI USE RESULTS IS SALISBURY ALIVE TO THIS OPPORTUNITY AT HER VERY DOOR All Roads Are Leading to Baden, the Big Commercial Development Down ihe River AH Eyes Are Turned to These Works and Ad This Section of North Caro lina Wishes to Profit By the Developments Salisbury is Occupying a Strategic Position Bat Salisbury Must Earn the Benefits She is to Receive From This Enter priseTime lor Us to Co-Operate to the End That Salisbury Get What She Ought to Get From the Build ing of Baden. I 4 Is Salisbury ready, or is she preparing for the Badin devel opment? Is this city standing at the gateway to this great material deelopment prepared, or preparing to make the best of this grai opportunity? This is a question for us to ask ourselves in all seriousness. We know the situation, or at least we ought to. In all past operations down the Yadit'n Salisbury had an advantage. Our location was ideal and there was a local interest that helped us. Salisbury benefited to some degree by all of the past operations down the river. Now that these stupendous developments seem likely to be ccmsumated at an early day, and from them will radiate a great benefit, is Salisbury going to occupy her former advantageous position, or is she to lose to others? " We should remember that conditions have changed. A new railroad has gone into tlr.s section and it in no wise aids or helps Salisbury rather very distinctly to the contrary. The dirt roads are aiming in the direction of this great pro ject, and only one of them is helpful to Salisbury. Hear what the Lexington Dispatch tells its readers : "We need roads into everynook and corner of the county, but the most important road that can be constructed in our opinion now is a road leading from Lexington through the southern part of th county to connect with Badin, the twenty million dollar enterprise of the Aluminum Company of Ameri ca. This being the greatest industrial enterprise in the South, it means a great deal more to Davidson county and this section of the State than our people have ever realized. It means a revolution industrially. It means the attraction of millions of dollars to this part of the State. It means a market for every chicken, for every egg, for everything that js produced on the farm at better prices than ever before. It means better farms, better homes, more prosperous people. Davidson county should take advantage of becoming connected by a good road with Badin, which will develop every inch of the southern part of Davidson county, and will bring thousands and thousands of dollars to Lexington and other parts of the county." This is a business proposition. There is nothing sentiment al about it. The big corporation doing the big work down the river has no interest in Salisbury, the new folks that will pour into this new town will have no sentimental interest in Salis bury. Our past will not be worth a dried fig. We must be ready to co-operate.- We must be ready to go in and take our part in these big works. We cannot stand aside and expect our town to profit by these developments, we too must build roads, and do other things which will put us next to these developments. Here- let us again refer to another paper's editorial, the Charlotte. Observer, that paper saying a few days ago: "In a short time, it seems, all roads will be leading to Bad in, where the great aluminum plant is teing completed. Hun dreds of workmen will be employed at this plant and around the place will grow up a town of vast industrial activities. The Badin community will want a road to the market, and the best market with the best road let-ding to it will be undoubtedly re warded with excellent returns on its investment. The proposi tion for the Charlotte-Badiu road, therefore, is one that should enlist the interest of this city. The scope of the argument is covered in an item from the Lexington Dispatch on this page. Another road Charlotte wants is the highway over which the Southern Pines and Pinehurst traffic may come to this city. A road to Badin and a road to Pinehurst would be two of the fin est assets Charlotte could secure during the year 1916." i In a few weeks things will be humming down the river. In a few months a good sized town will be on the map, and a great industrial plant will be in operation. Salisbury occupies a very favored position, more favored than any of the town seeking to maintain friendly relations with this town, this enterprise, these people. But we have got to take care of it. And we have no time to lose, either. -' , Is Salisbury ready, or is she preparing to take advantage of fhe opportunities here referred to? a. 21. a.i r ... a ..11 At..

Tentative Agreement on Terms are Reached and Bill Will Come Up Early lxt Week. (By Associated Press.) Washington, Jan. 18. Tentative agreement on terms of the admn istration ship bill which will be press ed on congress at this session was reached today, at a conference be tween President Wilson and Chair man Alexander of the House marine committee. Mr. Alexander said he would introduce the' bill early next week and before doing; so would make I I ! ior us o iiuijr icau wan wo deal of what oucht to be ours o - - - it public. It is known to include a porvision for the ship board to reg ulate rates in much the same manner as the inter-state commerce commis sion regulates railroad rates and al so provide for the acquisitioning of J ships which can be used as naval aux iliaries. Some people lead such quiet lives that nothing ever happens to them, not even the unexpected. ' English as she is spoke: lieWill you not marry met he Tea, I will not marry you. E TO BE ONE CHIEF CENTER IN WAR ELIMINATION OF MONTENEGRO AS A FACTOR THERE AF FECTS SITUATION LITTLE GREEK GOVMT. HALTED Great Britain and France Order the Greek Government to Deliver Pass ports to Central Power Ministers Austrian Aeroplane Squadron Again Raidt Italian Town. The' Balkans continue to be one of the chief centers of interest in war news, although the Montenegr'n plea for peace means the elimination of one active factor in the military it uation there. The entente interests appear to be watching closely the situation in A' bania and advices from London de clare that adequate forces are now on hand to defend that country. Be lief is indicated in these advices that Italy's precautionary measures in Albanicn territory has gone far to wards safeguarding the future in terests of Montenegro, whose milita ry collapse seems considered well nigh inevitable after crushing Serbia. - Little attention so far has been paid in' entente Quarters to the re port that allied ' troops had landed near Athens as tha German pi ess in dicate.. From German sources comes the additional report that a landing of entente forces has been made tt Piraeus, the seaport of Athens. An Austrian aeroplane squadron has again raided the Italian town of Ancona. One person was killed but no material damage was done. Denial is entered by semi-official news agencies in Berlin that Captain Von Papen made .payment in connec tion with attempts to blow up muni tion factories or bridges. Greek Government Halted. Berlin, by wireless to Saville, Jan. 18. A note to the Greek government announcing a thorough ultimatum, is said by the Overseas News Agency to have (been prevented by Great Britain and France. A Sofia dispatch to the News Agency says Greece is required to deliver' the passports to the ministers of: the central : powers within 48 hours, failing in which the entente allies' will 1 take "necessary steps;" Montenegro, Sues for Peace. ' Beset on the north', east and west by ' Auetro-Hangarian armies and with all lines of retreat cut off. ex cept into Albania, where hostile tribesmen must be faced, Montenegro has asked Austria-Hungary for peace and her request has been granted. The unconditional laying down of arms by Montenegro was made the basis of the opening of peace nego tiations and Monitenegro accepted these terms imposed by the Dual Monarchy. This announcement was made to the Hungarian Parliament by Pre mier Tisza, and it was met with an ovation on the part of the members of the chamber. Thus comes the first withdrawal of any belligerent from eitJher of the alliances that have been fighting with each other since August 1914. It had been conceded for days that the situation of Montenegro was a critical one. Although the army of the little Kingdom fought valiantly against the Austro-Hungarians, it was unequal, because of inferior fofees, lack of guns and it has beer stated, a shortage in commissariat; supplies, to the task of holding back the armies that bad, in conjunction with their allies, succeeded in crush ing Serbia. ' Already the Montenegrin Capita! and many of its important towns had failed into 'the hand f the Austro Hungarians, and the invaders were well on their "way to Montenegroli chief seaport AntivarL Last ac counts had the Montenegrin Govern ment at Scutari.
