BRYAN IS HERE
Speaks In Greensboro
Friday Night '
TT TT y ILLI AM j. BRYAN,
) Y ' M Apostle of Peace, an !
V V America, . spoke last
night at the Opera
House. However as we go to press
in advance of our date line we can't
tell about the crowd or about the
talk. Mr. Bryan has talked in
Greensboro many timesGreensbor j
was where he made his first talk-in
North Carolina years' ago and he
has many personal friends in this
. city. . v' - '
Bryan is . for Peace. It is his
theme, his "hobby" if great men
have hobbies, and no doubt he is
doing a great work for humanity. We
hope' that the day will come when
there will be Universal Peace but
we hardly dare believe it. It has
always seemed to us and the last
year has been more convincing, that
war is a part of a human life. It
Degins with the individual when he
is born. From that moment until
death finally conquers him he has to
fight all the time- fight for hi3
breath for his sustenance, , for his
family and occasionally to prevent
an enemy from invading his country
and destroying his home. God plan
ned the world and laid out the gen
eral scheme of man's , existence he
made him a fighting animal an ani
mal wicii such powers that he is
able to . exterminate all other ani
mals and the weakest of his kind.
If God had intended him for peace,
he would-have produced a different
being. But to live, to progress, to
build ' and develop his mind and
faculties, man had to be a fighting
creature, although he has short teeth
and no claws. His weapon . is his
mind and out of it has been created
swords, guns, hi'gh explosives and
all manner of terrible devices for
destroying the human specie when
lined up in battle array.
So it seems io us, it will continue
to the end of the world until the
last man perishes off its surface;
for if man ever gets so ,f ar advanced
'as to live in eternal peace- with
neighbors near and strangers farhe
. will still have to fight the microbes
which invade his corporeal being
and are far more decimating to his
, kind than all the swords and can
nons ever forged or cast. The tub
ercle bacillus has slain more human
beings than all the guns ever made;
the cancer germ is eating up mil
lions, of human beings in hours of
peace and there are also other in
finitesimal little bugs which' are
more numerous than all the stand
ing armies and more deadly, too,
v than all of them in action.? Out of
war comes, pestilence, carnage and
rapine. It is. theparent'Of all woes.

-el the life of mankind
.s irta that it lis hardlyjp
e to. realize, what" the world and
- Jcieiy -would be like today if there
had never been any fighting.
- The advocates of peace think that
. mankind would - have been far bet
ter off if the human race had always
lived at peace. But trade is-productive
of vice as well as war it
breeds deceit, cowardice, selfishness
and avarice. It is well perhaps that
those business traits have been re
lieved a little by the waste, reckless
ness, daring and prodigality of war.
In fact, it has frequently been the
greediness of commerce that caused
international carnage. But for the
grasping ways of the diamond syn
dicate in the Transvaal, the world
would not have seen a few years ago
the mighty British empire stooping
to use its entire military strength
to crush a handful of Boer farmers
who were seeking to govern the re
gion they had reclaimed from a wild
erness according to the customs and
desires of an agricultural people.
And this bloody world war on today
that has cost twelve million lives and
countless treasure, is nothing but
Commercialism run mad.
Religion teaches humility and
"Love your enemies, '.bless them that
curse you, do good to them that hate
you and pray for them which de
spitef ully use you, and persecute
you." Yet who is there who will
say that out of the Christian relig
ion, whether or not its tenets have
been . disregarded, there have not
grown manyawful, bloody cruel
wars? And'would the Golden Rule
have universal force if war was
abolished would it come to invar
iable application in commercial and
social life? We will admit that the
ending of warfare would help man
along the Heavenly road for a, long
distance, but he cannot stop fight
ing, even if armies and navies are
no more, because it was ordained
by God that human existence should
be an unceasing struggle f rom the
cradle to the grave.
Of course there are economical
arguments which may be advanced
in refutation, and moral sides to the
question which are not to be ignor-
ed; but since war seems to us a nat
ural part of human life, just as dis
ease and death is its sequence, we
do not think that while nature
stands as God made it there can be
any universal move to retire the sol
dier from the stage.
However, this is speculation. Mr.
Bryan has the right side let us
hope he will live to see all countries
signed up to submit to arbitration.

Charles C. McDonald Puts A Bullet
Through His Heart. ' ,
Charles C. McDonald, the well
known stock broker of Raleigh, was
found dead in the summer house at
the Country Club near that ' city
shortly before midnight Tuesday
with a bullet through his heart.
Suicide was the verdict, and ili
health said, toibe the cause.
Mr. McDonald was born in Gulf
in 18 56.,. and .had been in Raleigh
about fifty years. He had been for
several terms a member of the
board of aldermen and his death
came as a distinct surprise to the
people of the , state.-

Getting Along. ;
Well, I have a!bout gotten back
the blood I lost an enormous quan-i
tity not exactly the blood I lost, but
about an equal amount. For the
Crst week I was a pretty helpless
white man. I was so weak that
had $20 gold pieces been lying
around me in profusion I couldn't
have raised my arm to reach for
them. But now I feel strong enough
to overpower Dr. Fortune, put on my
James Swinger and take a little
walk down town to see how the folk
are getting along. This is written
in the morning. I am more sanguin
ary in the morning than in the after
noon so if any one wants to whip
the editor he will oblige me by call
ing in the morning.
,:. -. '.
But speaking about this blood
business there is much for people
to learn about it. I had nineteen
hemorrhages -lost, perhaps, what
the doctors "would figure the maxi
mum amount of blood but I could
have lost more according to the
tneory. The books tell me and the
books, after all, constitute our only tail , Is off toward the
source of information that the aver-! nous delivering the mail to the
age man l has afcout 28 pounds of . indivldual members of the family
blood. Some authorities say that in' hose name the carrier has called,

in a lean ox than in a fat one. You
know they always try it on the dog!
Well, I was just reading in the Amer
ican Encyclopedia that experiments
had been made on dogs and that
blood had been taken from them to
where a loss of one or two more
ounces would have resulted in in
stant death, and the next day, with
out -giving the dog any food what
ever, he had "made" enough blood
to be able to spare again 10 or 12
ounces without causing his death.
The Wise Men presuming, and it is
all presumption, that the body furn
ishes the blood.
But I presume it makes but little
difference how weak the bridge is,
iust so we get safely across. I have
had a delightful sentence of more
than 30 days in solitary confinement
and I hope to be able to get on
my shoes and walk like I want to
walk within a week.

John Lowlow.
I read the; following in the News
and Observer the other day, and I
copy it because it is worth while:
"No, Sir. I didn't come to town
to go to the circus, but if I were to
go to a circus I would certainly go
to John Robinson's." said United
States Attorney Francis D. Winston.
The last time I. saw Robinson s cir
cus the famous John LoWlow was
with it.- He was the greatest saw
dust comedian the country has pro
duced. It-happened that I knew Mr.
Lowlow very well. He was a student
at the University or North Carolina
with the class of 1852. . Governor
Vance, I think , was his classmate. It
happened that there were half a doz
en former students of the University
stopping at the hotel at the time I re
fer to, and it also happened to be
October 12, University Day. I invit
ed John Lowlow to eat supper with
the crowd, which he did. In social
life he was as quiet as a woman. T
thought when he sung "The Grecian
Bend" it was the funniest piece d
acting I ever, witnessed. The clown
of today brings his laughter by his
make-up and boisterous hilarity. But
John Lowlow "was all actor and
brought shouts df laughter by his
keen wit and satire and by inimita
ble acting. He has , passed away.
Yes, sir, if John Lowlow was living
and with the circus I should hire
the Assistant District Attorney to go
to Laurinburg and hold court until
I got there. Nothing less than the
day and night performance would
satisfy me." .
I knew John Lowlow very well
knev him for 35 years. I knew him
in the West and at his home in Cin
cinnati. One morning, soon after !
came to North Carolina, when I was
running , the Durham Daily Globe
(peace to its ashes if John Wilbur
Jenkins did bust it! ) I 'looked up
from my desk; and before me stood
John Lowlow. He was with Robin
son's circus then, the press agent.
The meeting was one I shall never
forget. John was very glad to see
me, and certainly I was glad to see
him. He looked after the newspa-

WHO'S WHO
In
A WELL BRED DOG.
Coe Tfoxler Has Won His Place In
The Canine Hall Of Fame.
Our good friend S. V. Ziegler,
who travels Rural Mail route 2,
volunteers a dog story which is in
terestingand which leaves no
doubt of the right of his favorite to
step proudly into Everything's
"Who's Who In Dogdom."
This dog, a Shepherd of pure
breed and splendid development,
lives at the home of Mr. B. C. Trox
ler, a substantial farmer who, be
tween his farm and flour mill inter
ests, finds time for - the enjoyments
of hunting and the cultivation of
canine friendship. - Coe, who is the
subject' of our story, is a dog of
many noble parts. To the children
of the household and neighborhood
he is both playmate and protector.
In every sense he is a Shepherd. But
it is as "Mail Dog" that Coe has
won the esteem of Mr. Ziegler. He
tells us that Coe knows to the min
ute the time he is due to pass the
Troxler home. Rain or shine, Coe
is always waiting at the roadside;
never yet has. he failed to receive
his friend with a joyous bark and
the forms of greeting which are. so
easily interpreted by men who under
stand and who love dogs.
The salutations over, Coe bounds
into the mail wagon, pokes his nose
into the pouch and well anybody
ought to realize that he is asking
"Is there any mail for the Troxlers'
today?" If there happens to be, it
is always given to Joe, wno wiin
x;
CI OH.
Coe does many other smart things
"in all his acts," says Mr. Ziegler,
'he is every inch a well bred dog."
Mr. Roland Hill.
Everything is glad to know that
Mr. Roland Hill is making good the
movie world. Mr. Hill is a come
dian by nature and has in him the
making of a successful actor. His
Greensboro friends will watch with
interest his career.
