In the event that it clears up at the time the eclipse comes on, local people will be given an oportunity to observe something really unusual instructions about looking at the eclipse say that it ought to be ob served through smoked glass, other wise the glare of the sun will so blind the eyes that the real spec on the face of the sun can not be observ ed. . . 1 Ocean to Ocean Highway Meet Many Good Roads Enthusiasts Meet at St. Joseph Yesterday. St Joseph, Mo., Feb. 2. Many prominent men interested in good roads gathered here today for the third annual convention of the Pikes Peach Ocean-to-Ocean Highway As sociation, of which G. F. Adams of Chillicothe, Mo., i president. The principal topic of discussion was the means to be taken to extned the roatf eastward to the Atlantic coast and westward to San Francisco. East of Indianapolis, the highway now connects with and uses the route of the National Old Trails road. An aliimment south of the Old Trails through Cincinnati, Chiilkothe, Park ereburg, W. Vs., and thence to Balti more and Washington ha been sug- gi-ited, a a possible new line. Anoth er line between the p!d Trail and the I Lincoln Highway has also been inves tigated by the committee on eastern extension awl this is by way of Pitts burgh, following the general line of the Pennsylvania railroad through Blairsville. Harriiburg. to Philadel phia. v The Pikes Peak Qcean-to-Ocean Highway ha been recognized by many national authorities as one of the three main transcontinental routes. It is now completely marked with red-and-white bands all the way ffoB Indianapoii t Salt Lake City, and before the beginning of the 1916 season enamelled steet signs will be in place along the entire route. Committee Puts O.K. On Immoral Bill The following taken from a Rich mond dispatch to the Norfolk Ledger Dispatch shows that the Social Com mittee on laws in Virginia is getting down behind the red light problem. "The committee also approved a very stringent anti-red-light bill which makes it the duty of the attor ney general, a commonwealth's attor ney or any citizen knowing the facts in the case to get an injunction against any place that is being used for immoral purpose. It the injunc tion is granted the place must be closed, its furniture sold snd the pro ceeds devoted to psying the costs of the sction. The law makes such a place a nuisance and holds responsi ble whoever, "erects, establishes, con tinues, maintains, uses,, owns, occu pies or leases" the premises. It weighs with equal force upon tenant cn I lc 'i-r rr V" ST-nt.,. 5 TO CE OP TOE OTHERS Everybody Says Local Man's Chances Are the Best Therefore The News Proceeds to Get On the Good Side of "r. Nimocks Line Up With Him. The congressional race will fin ally narrow down to two men," c a gentleman yesterday, "and it is my opinion that the two men in question will be Nimocks and Godwin. Nim- ocks, in my opinion, will stand a bet ter .chance for the nomination than Godwin because of the fact that while Godwin is being detained in Wash ington attending to his duties, Nim ocks is right on the job, making friends in this district. From what can be gleaned, local ly, and in conversation with men of this county, in twon, Nimocks is go ing, to stand a fair chance of having the honors of Congress bestowed up on him at the next election. The fact that the primary to be held in this county is only about three months off is spurring Nimocks on to the fight with great agility, and when it comes to downright scrap- pir-g, it is said ttia Jir. Aunocas is right on the y fcifh the goods. it ought to r7al to people of Feyetteville an8 Cumberland county to give their individual support to Mr. Smocks because be is a man well suited for the position, and, if sent to Congress, will in the opinion of his local supporters, be a great working factor in that body. Thus, it is seen that Mr. Nimocks is due the honors plainly from the standpoint that he is the calibre of man suited for the position. Second, he is a home man, and that ought to carry with it a great meaning, is intimated by many of his local supporters. Being a young man, the News, however, will not attempt to say just how young, Mr. Nimocks is right in the period of a man's life when he has the insipration to DO something, which is several volumes more , than can be said of the average politician. Relatives of Mr. Nimocks' age, one will have tf go to him personal ly to And . it out. However, it is au thoriatively said that he was granted licenses to practice law several years back in the interior of this century, which is saying a good deal. Bue, then, his age is just right for a Con gressman.' ; Have you county folks met him? Well, you should "lose no time in do ing it, for he can surely entertain you. Having said so much the News might .explain that the purpose of this is to get on the good side of Mr. Nimocks and receie a few slices of pie, or cake, or whatever you call , for he is pure to be in a position Hand it out And if this doesn't produce the desired results, the next installment will tell pt how rotten a politician Mr. NimockK is. But this isn't announcing any other install ments. In the meantime, !nHis and gentle men, observe the n.-t Congressman from the Sixth, H n Q. K. Nimocks. LATE BULLETINS - Copenhagen, Feb. 2.

Of great local interest will be the announcement that two local boys, Messrs. Daniel 5. Byrd and Eandolf D. Florence have been promoted to the ranks of first and second lieuten ants, respectively, in Company F. 2nd Infantry North Carolina National Guard located at Fayetteville.
