BETTERMENT
KILLIAN
A meeting to discuss matters
re'ating to the betterment of Ca-1
tawba County in homes, schools,
churches and good roads was
held at Killian school house Sat
urday. The meeting was called
to order by John W. Robinson
and Craig Shuford was made
chairman. H.P. Lutz was chosen
secretary and he was assisted by
the editors of the different coun
ty papers. .
After the organization was
perfected the chairman called on
'Squire S. E Killian for a talk-
He responded cheerfully and re
ferred to the progress r which has
been made since his boyhood
days, which were spent in that
section of the county. He went
on to say that if the same prog
ress would be made in the next
20 year 3as had been done in
the past, Catawba would be one
of the leading counties in the
South.
The next speaker wasw. B.
Gaither of Newton, who said he
had heard many different ex
pressions as to the purpose of the
meeting, and that he had come
there as a citizen and not as a
candidate, and not to talk poli
tics. He referred to what has
been done in the county for
schools, school buildings, public
roads and modern homes on the
farms, and that he felt that the
people should be proud of them
selves inasmuch as such gains
have been made in the last few
years.
In referring to the schools he
stated that if the people wanted
a longer school term in the rural
districts, the only solution of the
problem was to levy a special tax
in each school district and use
the funds to supplement those of
the State in enabling the rural
districts to have a six months'
term. Mr. Gaither favors a
longer school term than we have
at present, but says the school
districts will have to provide
more money before the term can
be lengthened, fie expressed
himself as being sorry this (nat
ter was not taken up and dis
cussed before the nomination of
the county and Stat* officers of
both parties,
He paid tribute to the Killian
school house section by saying
that he knew of no section of
North Carolina that had made
better progress than that com
munity around Killian school
house; that he had taught school
there in a little, one-room, log
house when he was only 18 years
old, and to see the improve
ments that had been made in the
whool, building, in the farm
homes and the {arm lands and
cattle would be a surprise to any
man who had not been through
that country in the last 15 years.
W. C. Ffimster of Newton
was called on to give his ideas as
to why there was not more in
terest taken in education in Ca
tawba County at the present
time. He stated that, in his
opinion, the biggest trouble was
that the parents themselves did
not take the interest in educa
tion that they should; in the sec
ond place, that the finances were
too small, and thirdly, that ig
norance had a great deal to do
with it. He went on to say that
he didn't believe there was a
man in Catawba County, that if
he had put forth every effort
Possible, but could educate bis
children.
At this time the chairman
asked if co operation was not
what was needed, and if selfish
ness was not the cause of not
raving better educational advan
ces throughout the county
than we have. Mr. Feimster re
plied to this by saying that he
nad his opinion and
that he would like for Mr. Shu
wd togive the audience his
opinion.
Things then began to get a lit
' . w * rm »n the room, although a
tope stirring outside, be
auee Mr, Shuford undertook to
i' , 1c13 , e Mr. Feimster'B opinion i
instead of giving his own.

perfectly satisfactory with him.
Rev. Long said he had never
left a stone unturned for the
betterment of education in Ca
tawba county since he was elect
ed to the office of county super
intendent, and that he was al
ways willing to do all in his
power for the betterment of the
schools.
Mr, H, P. Lutz took the floor
and said he did not deem it ad
visable to hold the election for
extra school tax in cojnunction
with the regular fall election, as
he did not believe that enough
interest would be taken in it at
that time.
_Ju3t before the close Mrs.
Gordon Wilfong asked why it
was that Hickory sent more boys
and girls to college than all the
rest of the county put together.
This could not be explained fully
and was one of the problems
that could not be threshed out in
the meeting. However, Colon
Yoder, a member of the Board
of County Commissioners and a
prominent farmer made the
statement that "during the last
term of Lenoir College he had
six children in school at that
place and that he was paying
their board and tuition with the
products of his farm,
It does seem to us that if Mr.
Yoder could pay the board and
tuition for six children during a
session in college# that there is
no reason on earth why other
farmers should not follow the
example set by Mr. Yoder in the
wav of education.
As we see it, the proper way
to get a longer school term in
the rural districts is for each dis
trict to vote a special tax for the
benefit of the individual district
after the manner in which the
townships have already done for
building good roads.
Enrollment in the Graded Schools.
There are already more than
750 papils enrolled in the graded

There seem 3to be a false re
port circulated through Catawba
County to the effect that lam
opposing some of the candidates
on the Democrat ticket, and I
take this means of correcting
same. I have always voted the
Democrat ticket and I assure
every candidate and Democratic
voter in the county of my hearty
support in the coming election. I
was a supporter of Mr. E. S.
Little in the primary, as many
other good people were, but after
the county convention and Mr.
Phillis received the nomination,
I was for him, and am now. I
will do all in my power to elect
the Democratic ticket, and do
hope that all those who have
gotten such ideas in their head
will dispose of same.
Yours very truly,
Enloe Yoder.

Friday, Sept. 25, Marks the Coming
of The Sparks World's Famous

Circus day dawns with an in
definable stir in the air that sets
the small boy's heart to beating

memories in the minds of the
gray beards who have not for
gotten childhood's happy days.
The people of this city and
community will undoubtedly be
treated to a tremendous surprise
in the above show, as report has
it that it is not only triple in size
this season, but that it sti!l re
tains those features that made it
*ucb a welcome visitor in past
years, viz: Its freedom from all
semblance of gamblers and
fakirs, the high-class moral en
tertainment afforded and its hon
orable methods of doing busi
ness.
The management of The
Sparks World's Famous Shows
have not only ventured into a
field of greater endeavor, but in
so do ng, it is said, have out
distanced tented rivals in a man
ner that leaves nothing to the
imagination with the additional
telling advantage of being triple
in B:ze. All new in the matter
of equipment and presentat'on.
and still retaining the wonderful
trained wild animal exhibition,
which has done much to cause
this show to become famous, it
is the most remarkable amuse
ment enterprise of its kind in
the world today.
The big parade, at 10:30 a. n\,
while a feature of marvelous
beauty and enormous expense, is
but a slight reminder of great
pomp, opulence and bewildering
brilliancy to be witnessed under
the mammoth tents during the
exhibitions. In other words the
show is not all on the streets.

RESULTS OF THE WAR
DURING THE PAST WEEK
The sixth week of the war be
tween Germany and France, Bel
gium and Great Britain, has
brought a vast transformation.
The pursued are now the pur
suers. The irresistable sweep of
seven German armies through
Belgium into France met an im
movable force at the river Marne.
The army of General von Kluck,
which so long battled to turn the
allies' western flank, was slowly
and steadily outflanked.
Its retirement before the small
but hardy British army turned
the tide of battle.
If, French official reports are
correct, all the Gernfen armies
except that facing Verdum and a
few miles southwest, are retreat
ing. General von Kluck's army,
which a few weeks ago was a
few mile 3 southeast of Paris, has
retired more than sixty miles to
the northeast, while on the ex
treme right the army of the Ba
varian crown prince, which was
attacking the French eastern line
from Nancy to Epinal, has fallen
back to the frontiers of Lorraine,
permitting the French to re-oc
cupy Luneville and several other
towns.
General Joffre, French com
mander-in-chief, pictures the re
treat as hurried, if not disorder
ly, with the Germans abandoning
prisoners, wounded and supplies.
Last Sunday was the darkest
day of the war for the allies.
The French government emigra
ted from Paris to Bordeaux in a
long sad procession of motor cars.
An attack on the capital appear
ed imminent and the main Ger
man force had hammered a hu«c
wedge into France between Paris
an£ Verdun, with its center some
miles south of that line.
The French people trembled
with the question whether their
army was not a beaten army;
whether the history of 1870 will
repeat itself.
The battle of the Marne, which!
was decided in a wesk. is regard
ed by military critics as the most
marvelous reversal of rotes of
two armies kno vn.
In their view it appears to have
decided the first phase of the
war and to have made impossi
ble the plan which the German
staff is supposed to have had of
smashing the French bv one com
prehensive stroke, and then turn
ing the bulk of the German forces
eastward to confront the Rus
sians. t
The military experts, however,
are still cautious. While recog
nizing the possibility that the
German armies may yet rally and
draw a defensive line, they re
cognize also the possibility of the
almost complete evacuation of
France and Belgium. Paris an
nounces that the Germans have
evacuated Amiens. The position
of German reinforcements of
60,000 reported to be marching
south on three roads in that
neighborhood is not known.
Military authorities in France
consider the position of the Ger
man armies critical. The army
which was south of the Argonne
forest, they argue, hardly can
retreat eastward owing to the
danger from the strongly held
French fortress of Verdun, while
the mountainous character of the
Argonne district renders retreat
due north impracticable. The
left wing of the Germans, they
believe, must retreat in a north
westerly direction. *
They also cherish tne hope that
the Belgians may succeed in
clearing the Germans out of Bra
bant, when the entire German
army would be obliged to retreat
on Luxemberg, an operation
which they liken to the passing
of a large stream through a nar
row bottle neck,
The position of the troops, as
stated in the French report is
that the German right army is
retreating beyond the river Vesle,
which runs between Rheims and
Soissons; that the German forces
in the center, which had pene
trated farthest south, are falling
back north of Vitry-Le-Francois
and Seimaize and have crossed
the river Marne, and in the hilly
wooded country between Vitry
and Verdun the Germans have
lost Revigny and Brabant-Leßoi.
The French appear to have
taken the offensive along almost
the entire front, as indicated by
successes in the east between
Luneville and Saint Die, where
thev haye retaken several towns
they evacuated a fortnight ago,
i while reports from Basel say
hard fighting occurred in the
[ Gubweiller valley in southern Al

I describe their line as extending
over several hundred versts (A
> verst is about two-thirds of a
' mile).
• Fighting has been proceeding
continuously since August 25 and
the Russians claim to be winning
both in Poland and Galicia.
J Vienna says the Austrians
were successful during the first
1 stages of the fighting in Galicia
and took 10,000 prisoners, but
' that thay were obliged to with
' draw from Lemberg and concen
trate in a better position, because
the northern wing of the Aus
trian army in Poland was threat
ened by greatly superior num
bars.
The battle of Rawaruska, which
is proceeding, apparently will
prove the crucial test of the Aus
, trianarmy. Archduke Frederick
of Austria, is with the army
there. A message from sources
unfriendly to Austria declare the
result of the Galician operations
will determine whether the Aus
trian army will continue to be a
factor in the war. Austria is re
ported to be enrolling her last
classes of reserves.
While there is deep satisfaction
in England over the progess of
events on the French battlefields,
there are no signs o! rejoicing or
celebration, London wore its
usual Sunday calm. Newspapers
continue to counsel the people
azainst overoptimism and any
belief that-'the war will be other
than a long and costly one. The
German General von Buelow is
giving the German people the
same caution. He tells them they
are only at the beginning of sac
rifice and suffering.
