Germany has placed an embargo on dyesfuffs, to our-country,, as long as we are unneutral in acts towards" her, so says a German authority . ' .Uncle Joe Cannon is for prepared ness to the extent of , our' funds but .no' further. He's against bonds or deficits. NorthjCarolina will have 21 dele - tes b the Republican Convention in ' Chicago, June 7th, who will help name the next president. Buncombe county -starts the ball rolling for peace and prosperity with a whoop. They resolved that every man would do his full duty for the G.O.P. According to reports a person lives 15 - years longer per hundred years than he did centuries ago. In other words the expectation of a life is about 7 years longer than it used 'to be. .. - '" . In "England more married men have volunteered for war than bachelors and vthe . women are ridiculing the bachelors for their lack of patriotism. The bachelors reply that the benedicts are glad to go to get away from their troubles. i f - Don Laws sold his anti-Catholic or- - gan and now he is fighting the Dem ocrats only with a new paper, printed v at Moravian Falls. Most people go to j the cities to ..get fame and fortune .Don takes to the mountains and there he finds both upon the theory that brains have no geographical limits that the world must come to it. o North :- Carolina again leads the South , in 1914, in the production of cotton, her per acre production being 248 pounds against that of Texas, 145 poiinds, and Georgia -168 pounds; and Florida 112 pounds. And she .lead South, also, in the manufacture of 'cotton goods, excepting South Caro lina. Thus leading in -the prqduc tion per acre and in the manufacture -per yard, she should be known as the King; Cotton State, .aind "not as the . Tar Heel State, as tar, pitch and.tur pentine passed with the Old South, Congressman " Brittj strongly., rec ommends Judge . Allen for the 1 Su preme Court vacancy upon the i surance that Mr. Wilson will name a Lemocrat anyway, and, if so, we should pull for a North Carolina Dem ocrat., In this he is correct, while al of us differ as to political matters at home, we love to see our own people honored above all others we are for North Carolina, firstly and partisans secondly. If any Democrat is to be , appointed, let it be a North Carolina Democrat they are the best .Demo crats i nthe world, and even then no half as good as a North -Carolina Re . publican, politically . speaking. THOMAS JEFFERSON TARIFF. ON THE In his inaugural address March ' 1805 Thomas Jefferson said:. "ine y suppression oi unnecessary - offices, of useless establishments and expenses, enables us to- discontinue ... a ' 1 a rm our internal taxes, xnese covering our land with officers, and opening our doors to' their intrusions, had . already : begun, the process of vexation which, - once entered, is scarcely to be re strained from reaching every article of produce and property The remain ing revenue on the consumption of foreign articles, is paid cheerfully by those who" can afford to add foreign luxuries to domestic comforts, being collected on seaboards and frontiers, only it inay .be the pleasure and pride of an American to ask,i what farmer, .what mechanic, what lal orer ever sees a tax-gatherer of the United States? These contributions, (tai iff duties) en able us' tq support the current ex- penses of tfee Government, to fulfill contracts with foreign nations,' to ex tinguish the native right of soil within our limits, to extend those limits,-and ..to apply such a surplus to our-jmblic debts; places" at a short day their final redemption, and rthat redemption once effected; thevrevenue thereby liber ated, may be applied in-time of , peace to rivers,- canals, roads, cities, manu facturers, education, and other , great objects within -each state. In time of war, if injustice,, by ourselves or oth ers, must sometimes produce war, in creased as the same rt venue , will he increased, by population and consump tion, and aided by other resources re- served for that crises, rt may mv within the year all the expenses of the year, without encroaching on, the rights of future generations by bur dening them with .the debts of the past. War will then be but a. sus pension of useful works, and a return to a- state of peace a return to the progress of inprovement." . " Thus we see that the fafher ot the Democratic : Party, was a protection ist and we might say the vfirst protec tionist of our natiqn. ; He " argues against internal - taxes, v Mr. Wilson for them. v,.

ASSISTANT PASTMASTERSHIP ABOLISHED IN CONCORD Watch The Wires From Washington For Other News. T The Concord Tribune, of the 8th, says that the office of assistant post master for Concord has been abolish ed. Under the civil service laws the vacancy that existed in the office here by the resignation of the incumbent would have been filled by the promo tion of the longest-termed clerk in the office. This would necessitate the ap nointment of a Republican, and conse quently steps would have to be taken, ".nder the partisan legime, tb.t now controls, to cause said appointee to n sign. . . . This donejt would go to the next highest and so on until it would re quire years to ever get. a Democratic assistant post-master in Concord, which is the ultimate , purposes 'of al these manipulations. So, to. meet the exigencies of the politicians. Congress man Doughton had the office abolish ed. The next move probable . will be the appointment of a Democrat, draw ing the same pay as the assistant Xost-master, under another name, so the civij service laws can be defeat ed under the guise of politics. lb appointment of. this one will create consternation among the faithful be cause of the several who expect it, and all of them cannot get it. But suppose the post-office ' department would refuse to be a party to this political manipulation and should de cide to stand by the laws, which they are pledged to observe in their plat form, then the abolishing of this of fice would not result in the rewarding of some politician, and all. of these plans would come to naught. To abol ish the office and fill the place again under a different name does not save the. government any money, but it does make null and void the civil ser vice laws that stood in the way, and it leads to apartisanship in governmen that in two years may cause a like construction by the party , in power, not only to minor offices but to all of them. Watch; the wires from Wash ington for further matters, of inter est affecting the Concord jobs. ROCKY, RIDGE ITEMS. Miss",Virgie "rStilwell-, who has been visiting Mrs. S. H.

Everything. . - - ' - They are now handing it to Presi dent Wilson, and in a manner richly deserved, because 'he said that it "is none of our business what the Mexi cans do with their government, and so long as I have the power nobody shall butt in to altar it for themJIV That looked pretty good. But there are those who claim that Mr. Wilson did butt in; that he seAt troops to Vera Cruz and left dead soldiers there and aspire insisted at the time, months ago, before this last utterance of Wilson,1 the United States ' then and there gave up its honor if it had any. We sent the soldiers to Mexico to make Old Man Huerta salute the stars and stripes. We didn't mince .words, The newspapers carried the big bjack headlines that warships hadbeen dis patched and Huerta who had insulted our flag' must now salute it. " . - And our soldiers went some never returned, but Old Man Huerta called the bluff; the butting in and stood pat. He didn't salute and he said he didn't intend to and told Uncle Sam t6 make the most of ,it. And Uncle Sam, with his fleet an chored , as he claimed, came trailing back and Huerta, said to be drunk and desperate told us all to go to a place where they don't shevel snow. That was when the so-called "hon or" of the United States was lost. That was when a Mexican defied us and . got away with the goods,- We played a grand bluff in uniforms and brass buttons but" it didn't work. That is the long .and short of the story; and -Mr.'' Wilson is crowing rather loudly when he talked - about "so long, as he has the power." The power that he had to bring Huerta to his "knees didn't, work. This State's Representation in Nation ; 7 al Conventions.

Many ; believe--the war' will end in 1916, though Lord Kitchener predicts its duration for three ears. The sit uation is this:" Germany; and Austria have gained to their side Bulgaria and Turkey, They -" have conquered and hold Russian -Poland, Belgium, Nor thern .France and Serbia, while only relatively i insignicant parts of their European territory are held by Rus sia and France. In Asia.: i however. Kussia; by way of Persia, and Engl and by wayof the Tigris have made considerable inroads on - Turke v. On the other hand, Germany ; has lost practically all of her insular and con tinental possession to Japan and to England. . German and Austrian com merce has been driven from-the seas. erhaps in disregard of the niceties of international vlaw the Allies have in stituted a rigid blockade of the central powers. We may epect this block ade to become not1 less but more rigid Ihe central powers, like the .South in the Civil war, will have ' to carry oh war with no hope of I foreign "support. Can' they continue to do so much long er inis will depend upon their sup ply of food, of munitions and of men. ood is already scarce. Of munitions and the materials for munitions they seem to have a sufficient supply if the German claim to have "found a substi tute for cotton in manufacturing pow der is true. But of men the Allies' have far the greater number. Russia is now - drilling five million recruits and has nine million more in reserve. England is just getting her three mil- ions m to held. Canada promises to raise her contingent to half a million men. ''Millions in India are waiting to serve" was the kevnote of th speeches of the opening meeting oi; the Indian- National Congress consist. i .i ' . . . .' ing oi ten tnousand delegates. The armies of France and Italy will doubt- ess be kept at their present strength or provisions and ammunition ' the Allies have the world to draw upon Sc the seeing advantage is still with them. However, all this will count for naught unless they are able to break through the German-Austrian lines by some such -drive as the Rus sians are now making along their 300- mile front.
