It is his evident purpose to carry a direct mes sage to the people who have twice elected him as their spokesman on all great public questions. He has never broken faith with them and there is no semblance of evidence that he ever Trill. Mr. Wilson is a friend of the masses and the "average man," is a friend of President Wilson. A small section of the United States Senate, seeking to play politics rather than keep faith with the allied friends of the Ameri can people in the great world-struggle for human liberty, will not be allowed to defeat the Wilson idea of a perma nent peace. The Senate appears to have resolv ed itself into a debating society of the achocl-day variety with no other pur pose in view than the hope of dlv crediting the president. To accom plish their purpose.republican leaders will go to any length. Not content with the exercise of the machinery at their command as members of the Senate, opponents of the President will seek to counteract his efforts with speeches in various sections of the country in opposition to the peace covenant he has proposed. Let tem do their utmost. The people trust Woodrow Wilson and will not be swayed from the path of rectitude by the ravings of a tev? "wilful men" seeking political advan tage, rather than an amicable adjust ment of momentous issues demanding the attention and earnest considera tion of civilized communities in eveiy country and in every clime. President Wilson is irr ihy committed to the proposed League of Nations because he believes ii Deans a, lasting peace. The ear uf the Amerien people is -a -turned to the spirit of the times and m accord vth the views of their-great leader. And this is enough said. Let the show go on. PALMER HITS BACK Not content with the movement they have inaugurated in - opposition the League of Nations, republicans fhow an. utter disregard of the proprieues Ty . delaying the confirmation of nomi nations the President has made for Important positions in the public ?iei Tice. " ' - Hon. .A. jNIitchell Palmer,, named for Attorney General, i3 an object or attack . because, he sold alien cnt-mv plants to Americans while he was rep resenting the government - as Alien J-nemy Custodian .. during tie wai- "'Tvlr. Palmer directs attention r ta the '."act that he is cut accused ot dispos--lg of Gefman-owned institutions for less than their actual- value and bold ly charges that German sympathizers have inspired the "efforts to uicrtii his administration as alien property custodian. In this cncliis:"on, he is - probably correct as no member of the committee investigating the charges attempted to disprove his -conient'on. Objection to the confirmation of Mr. Palmer as-Attorney General was of fered by Senator Freliiifchuysen, re publican, of New Jersey, who grew white with heat when conhonted with the charge that hi3 actions, were prompted by pro German ia:luc-nces. Of course he protested, but the Attor- . ney General made no retraction:?, lie had seized the p.-operty of forty thousand aliens, reckoned as i-ie Ger- ' man industrial army in the Vnited States, and offered no apologies lor turning these plants to &ood acocuit for the Allied caise. He would neither be bliiTed nor brow-bcaleu and stood his ground like ihe man he ; has proven himself, to be. during a long and honorable 'public career.

The Odd Folio as of the State have i decided to coram e-iiur.i'.e the ore hun f ureth anniversary of the birth of the Order in an apyr jpri.il maimer mis ! year. The Gran.: Lodge ha autho j rized the lauuc.uj.j of what is ''to be ! known as, the ' Ct nteunial movement, ; the primary p:irpos of which is ar t J nounced to be x revival o! intorcst in Odd Fellowship. A general chair man cf the movement has already been named by the Grand AIater and no time will be lost in putting avail able influences tc work. Relative tc the movement contemplated, :he Grand Lodge ..m-innc us.'y 'adepts? the following c .-solutions'- r.t its re cent meeting m A.r.eville. "1 That immediately upon the ad journment cf the Grand Lodge, there shall be inaugurated for the purpose of reviving interest in the Ordr, en larging its membership, strengthen ing its finance and supporting its in stitutions, a movement to be known and designated as The Centennial Movement.' "2. To carry out and direct this movement, the Grand Master is here with empowered and dircted to select and appoint some proficient and able member of the Order, to be known as General Chairman of the 'Centennial Movement,' who shall serve without pay, and who shall select his own aides and assistants, and who shall, in J conjunction with the Grand Master ana ! the Grand Secretary, superintend and direct such campaigns for the purpose aforesaid as shall be deemed advisable by the said chairman and the Graul Officers herein specified." The Independent Order of Odd Fel lows is recognized a highly couunena able fraternal institution. It stands for high moral standards, believes in administering to the neds of those in distress and in the practice of brother ly love. There are 11,000 active mem bers of the Order in North Carolina at this time and they are exertm? a mighty influence for good in eyory section of the commonwealth. The Centennial, Movement will doubi.V;ss( score heavily in the effort to enlarge the membership, which ought toveaeji i 20,000 by Thanksgiving. Spgaking for itself, this paer ae- j knowledges thorough sympathy with the movement to broaden tne influence of Odd Fellowship in this State. It has wrqught well in the past, an i the future is pregnant with posib-lis ies. Not only is this true of the Oda Fel-j lows, but of other iir.tituuon.. cf fra-j ternal import. DEATH OF COL.

ENLARGE MILL The Grey Hosiery mill will enlarge their mill. Plans are now being pre pared for the addition. This will make the mill one of the best equip ped in the south, and its owners, J. P.

German Samoa or Western Samoa, as it is called since September, 1914. when British occupation took place, comprises the islands of Savaii and Opolu with the town of Apia a.s the head of the political and commercial life. The islands are the remains of a semisubmerged volcanic range, heav ily clothed with tropical verdure which to a great extent prohibits agriculture or farminsr- hence the principal indus tries the planting of coconut-, cacao and rubber. ' Why Delay? "Take this medicine," said the young doctor. "If it doesn't cure you, come back in a few. days, and I shall give you something that will." The patient pocketed the dope reluctantly.
