C, under the act of March 1. 187'J. ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS HICKORY, N. C. TUESDAY EVENING MAY NEED THEM ALL We saw a cartoon the other day that purported to represent the at titude of the United States towards the Carranza government. Uncle Sam had cheerfully granted the re quest of Carranza for permission to cross the border in search of Amer ican bandits who might take refuge in Texas or New Mexico after com mitting outrages in Mexico the United States has done this, and then was going after Villa. Uncle Sam carried a pistol in his left hand for Villa and a larger pis tol in his right hand for Carranza, who was represented as covered by he weapon. i Recent leakings from the border indicate that General lFunston has not underestimated the possibilities of danger. Carranza has made nearly everybody think that he is ready to turn on the American forces the minute occasion offers, or at least that he is not able to control his men. We are more than glad that Per shing has an army of at least 4,000 men. and we hope he is well supplied with machine guns. We are afraid he will be compelled to hack his way out of Mexico. NEED BUSINESS MEN The Record believes that Mr. J. D. Elliott will receive the nomination for state senator from this district with out effort. Sentiment already has developed around his candidacy, and he would have the best chance, we are informed, of any other man in the countv to represent the district in the general assembly. It would mean something to the district to have a man of Mr. Elliott's ability in Raleigh. We recall that Hugh G. Chatham of Winston-Salem easily took a leading role in the senate last term, because this is the day when men with sound business sense are called upon to lead in the legislature. Mr. Elliott would be the choice of a large element of Catawba and Lincoln people, irrespective of political ami lawyers in the legislature now. We iations, because there are too many need a few good business men in the senate. American Describes Deaths in Balk an Campaign Rome, Italy. March 21. Henry Haller, formerly of the Fifth United States cavalry, who was one of the few Americans in the Serbian re treat, declares tht a during the journey to Podgoritza in Montenegro in a four-days snow storm more than fifty thousand men died. "They died so fast," he said, "that they fell every few yards all along the road. The wagons and carts went right over the bodies. Nobody thought of trying to turn out of the way. but there were were so many they could not but drive over them. The roads were full of mudholes. At one place I saw no less than seventeen horses dying in one immense puddle, unable to pull themselves out. 'I saw hundreds and thousands of ragged men. with their feet swollen too much to wear shoes or walk on them, crawling around for miles on their hands and knees through the blinding snow, finally stopping and dying soon afterwards. They never made any appeal for help. It wouldn't have been any use. Besides, they were too far gone. to know what they were about, that they were dying. Their last efforts to keep going was mereir a mechanical operation. Of course the great mor tality all along the route was due to the barren nature of the country we were traversing, with no shelter for but a comparatively few of us. There were even no forests where we might have felled trees and built tem porary quarters. Our fires for the most part were small with barely enough wood to heat water. Haller. who was on a visit to Bud apest when the war began, enlisted in the Austrian army and was serv ing as a bugler when, six months la ter, he was taken prisoner by the Serbs and then was finally marched with 75,000 other Austrian soldiers across the mountains into Albania and "there turned loose on the shores of the Adriatic to fight for life against cholera, fever and starva tion." "We were supposed to have start ed on that retreat," said Haller. "with a Serb army of over two thous and men and about seventy-five Austrian prisoners. Not many more than a hundred and fifty thousand of the whole lot got over the moun tain. It was not because the Aus- tnans or tne .Belgians pursued us, however, with uch activity. wied merely because of disease, hun ger and exhaustion. "The worst part of the jorney be gan at the Albanian frontier. The Albanians have in times past been badly treated by the. Serbs, and they took this chance to square old scores. They shot, killed, robbed, and murdered us at every step of the A Summer Home Comfort The Beautiful New Model y Automatic $ Blue Flam Oil Cook Stoves With Sanitary Base No Wicks No Valves.

W. W. WILLIAMS, Secretary. Ill Mr. W. T. Bost has a good story in his paper to the effect that our townsman, Mr. Self, is about to with draw from the race for attorney-general. Despite rumor, Mr. Self has given no indication that he will not make the run, and until he issues a statement to the contrary his friends would do well to assume that he is very much in the race. Nobody's blaming Mr. Bost, however, for printing a political rumor. "Sensible Villa" was the heading over and editorial in the Raleigh News and Observer about a year and a naif ago. Why wouldn't that heading apply to the bandit now as he moves about like a fox? luniy one woman and five children were killed in the latest air raids over England, according to the Lon don report, from which one would in i. 1. i 1 1 r. xer mac me Zeppelin marksmen were slightly off. Serb officers and a company of strag glers on horseback were met in the middle of the road by a few peasants and ordered to give up their horses and their money. It was plain highway robbery and they refused. The peasants ran away and within a couple of minutes more than a thousand shots were fired out of the bushy hillside, killing most of the Serbs. "The food problem was terific even in Albania. A half pound of bread was sold at ten dinars, about one dol lar. lAs I had a little money at Sturza I bought five pounds of oka beans. Had I not been able to get these beans, I would today be a dead man. I had just said to myself: 'I can't go any further.' when I per suaded a peasant woman to sell me the beans. I ate beans twice a day. mak ing a sort of soup out or them, put thing in a little salt. At that I was far luckier than the fellows who had to boil harness leather for five or six hours in order to make the hot water taste like soup. I saw men act like savages, eating pieces of brown paper. There were perhaps not more than two thousand women among the re treating horde with us and it is a fact worth recording that they were kindly treated and given whatever comforts were available bv soldiers who were otherwise dead to every feeling. 1 have seen such men, gaunt, staggering along, half-naked, with a few pieces of cloth for shoes, unable to speak ,with barely strength left to stop near a dying horse and cut a stringy streak from its flank, straighten us for a mo ment near one of the women's carts and similingly tender their last mouthful of food to some of the wo men. "The treatment of the women on this dreadful retreat was to me the most wonderful, the most moving, the most heroic part of the whole re treat. These poor women in their flight from their homes had in many cases been unable to bring enough clothes to cover them. Often they were without stockings or under skirts, or hats or shawls or cloaks. x nave seen time and time some treezing soldier take off his overcoat and force it upon some one oi tnese tried, put together, My friends began asking me why I i S looked so well, and I told them about I H Cardui. Several are now taking it." ' g Do you, lady reader, suffer from any of Ihe ailments due to womanly trouble, such as headache, backache, sideache, sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired feeling? If so, let us urge you to give Cardui a trial. We feel confident it will help you, just as it has a million other women in the past half century. Begin taking Cardui to-day. You won't regret it.

Visiting Soverigns Invited. B. A. MILLER, Clerk down a snow-covered Albanian road straight as an arrow, bellowing as he ran," he said. "He ran on and on down that road, seeing nothing yet wondei-fully avoiding stumbling over the bodies of other dead and dying soldiers and the meat-stripped car casses of the army horses which blocked the way. Suffering intense ly as I myself was, I turned and watched this strange figure. At last a half mile down the road he pitched forward and as I passed him later I saw he was stone dead." "Other than that incident there is one other that will stick in my mem ory so long as I live." said Haller. "This was the hanging of a Serb mother by the Austrian troops be fore I was made a prisoner. We were marching across a rough coun try near Lochnizter when we stopped near a wayside hut at its spring to get a drink. Colonel Heill of our regiment also went to get a drink. As he arose from the spring a shot came from the hut. That shot was fired by a woman. She stood at the door, an old shotgun in one hand, a baby in the other. "One of the captains ordered her hung. There was nothing else to do but to execute her. As a rope was placed about her neck to the nearest tree and she said was this in a hard, cold voice: 'My husband is a soldier' I too die for Serbia'. She made no anneal. She did not crv. We left her again body hanging there in the wind. The baby was picked up and sent to the nearest prison camp, to be cared for." through the efforts of Robert representing the United CAROLINA & NORTH-WESTERN Time Card No. 32, Effective Nov. 1915.
