We have somebody's luck. We do
not have the remotest idea of whose
luck it is, but we know it is good
luck. It just can't hep but be -good
luck. It happened this way: When
the fire whistle blew on last Tuesday
night about ten o'clock, a number of
Albemarle people got into the'r auto
mobiles and rushed to the scene of the
conflagration. Passing by the Mara-
lise Hotel, one of the drivers put on
such speed that his perfectly good
large horse shoe, which he was car
rying in Tiis car for luck, dropped
out, Mrs. Jonathan Starr picked up
this good luck emblem and presented
it to The News-Herald, so we have
it, and expect to keep it, unless the
owner calls for it and shows good
cause why we should turn it over to
him.

DEMAND LLOYD GEORGE
Genoa, April 19. The German del
egates and experts have not yet been
able to find a formula whereby to
compromise with the entente powers
without sacrificing the Russo-German
treaty, although they were in session
to a very late hour tonight. Efforts
are being made to nave the confer
ence formulate a Russian policy in
which the Russo-German treaty cn
be absorbed, thus giving it the stamp
of conference approval and removing
the cause of hard feeling.
The iplain language of Premier
Lloyd George to the German states
men today over the treaty incident,
which at one time threatened to dis
rupt the economic conference, was
believed to have cleared the political
atmosphere, but as neither the Ger
man reply to the allies nor the Rus
sian reply regarding acceptance of
the conditions for the -estoration of
Russia was forthcoming, the situation
is still considered critical.
Work Blocked
Some of the neutrals described the
Germans as embarrassed as to how
to find a way out of the difficulty.
Meantime, the work of the conference
is blocked. The neutral states have
officially insisted that the agenda of
the conference be discussed in com
missions and not in private conver
sations among the chief delegates. To
this the leaders rejoin that prelimi
nary meetings are advisable in order
to expedite the labors of the confer
ence. Strong Attitude
Mr. Barthou, of the French delega
tion, tonight confirmed that Premier
Lloyd George had adopted a strong
attitude at today's meeting with rha
German foreign minister, Dr. Rath
enau. Mr. Barthou, who is kept very
closely informed as to what LI yd
George is doing, said there was no
room for equiv cation on the part of
Germany, there was no middle course
If the Germans insisted on maintain
ing the treaty, the French could not
deal with them on any of the com
missions concerning Russia.
"The most complete accord exists
between France and England on the
question involved," he added.
The opinion was expressed i.i the
DANGER POINTS DEVELOP
ALONG THE. NIISSISSIPP
Memphis, Tenn., April 19. Serious
caving of the shore line of the Mis
sissippi seven miles south of Hick
man, Ky., early today in which about
60 feet of the river bank outside of
the Ree f -ot levee droppij 1 into the
river, bringing the flood witer nga'nst
the embankment at that point and the
fight which is being made thres miles
south of Arkansas City, Ark., to save
the levee of Fulton Lake, were the
outstanding features today in the bat
tle engineers were waging to protect
the lands in the central stretchy i of
the river from overflowing. No
trouble was reported: at other points
north of Vicksburg.
The caving below Hickman which
began during the night was caused
by the undermining of the riverbanks
outside the Reelfoot levee. As soon
as the saving ibegan construction of
a rear levee of heavy timbers and
sand bags was begun, and engineers
express the belief that the levee at
this point will hold unless the foun
dations are undermined by the cur
rent. A break at this point would over
flow thousands of acres of rich farm
land in Lake County, Tenn., and re
sult in the inundation of all low
lands between Hickman, Ky., and
Tiptonville, Tenn.
Another weak point in the levee
17 miles south of Hickman was re
ported late today, but a barricade of
timbers is being built back of the le
vee and further trouble tonight is
not expected.
South of the Arkansas City more
than 1,000 men are at work in an
effort to save the levee, and reports
from there tonight say the situation
there is serious, although the levee
board of engineers still are confident
that a break can be prevented. The
low places, over which the water is
said to be flowing at several points
are being stopped.

LI
GANIZED FOR THE TOWN
Present indications are that Albe
marle is to have a Lions' Club at
no distant future date. Dr. Hendley
of High Point, is here in the interest
of perfecting such an organization,
and already more than a dozen of the
town's leading business and profes
sional men have signed up. The
Lions Clubs are similar to the Repar
ians and Kiwanis Clubs. They are
non-political and non-sectarian. Fol
lowng are some of the principles for
which Lionism stands:
"Full and hearty cooperation with
alll other clubs, the Chamber of Com
merce, and other civic and commerci
al organizations, in all movements in
the community which seek to pro
mote any betterment, civic, industrial
or educational, and any plans looking
toward the elimination of class distinction.

utilized for packing and loading bot

The Stanly Bottling Works is one
of the most prosperous bottling con
cerns in this section. It is the old
est bottling plant here, and its growth
and the broadening of its business
have been such as to command both
attention and admiration. The bot
tled goods of this company are daily
sent out in great volumes all over
this and adjoining counties. The ma
chinery and equipment of the con
cern are thoroughly modern in every
.particular, and one to watch the
work of bottling going on is made to
wonder how in the world even the
whole state of North Carolina could
consume the output from this one
plant.
SECOND FIRE STRIKES

which was the first Lions CluH
to be organized in this state. Th

the plan of the International Associ
ation to organize at once twenty-five
or thirty clubs in this state.
Commenting upon the Winston-Sal-em
organization, The Twin City Ser
tirtel recently carried the following
editorial: "The Sentinel desires t
congratulate the city upon the per
manent organization here last night
of a Lions Club, to be affiliated with
the International Association.
"The reputation of the club for
community service in other cities, to
gether with the personnel of the loca'.
organization, gives assurance of
career of real usefulness in a civic
sense.
"Certainly an organization with
such principles, backed by such men
as are in the local club, cannot fail
to be a real asset to Winston-Salem.
Albemarle stands in .great need of
ome kind of organization of it3
business and professional men, and
it is hoped that this movement will
not prove a failure.
