WK DM iS DAY, OCT 31. 11)17 UiLL UlY UONDS YET Wv have heard a pood deal about the loyalty of the American farmer. In nio.U places he has been slow to subscribe to the Liberty Loan, but he had his reasons. Trobably he had debts to pay or improvements to make, lie did not realize the invest ing worth of the bonds, and city folks would not either if the proposition were not facinjr them every time they turned round. We believe the farmer, with his bank roll on hand thia winter, will take a shot at the next iasue of bonds, and as the Char lotte Observer says, will be the re serve. The Record realizes some of the hardships and difficulties that have confronted the farmers for many years. Things that they had to sell brought very little, and the prof its of forward-looking farmers were mall. Statistics prove this. It is just in the last two years that the farmer has been able to turn his surplus into heavy profits, and we are glad that luck has come his way. The farmer has felt, let us bear in mind, that the law of supply and de mand has stung him coming and go ing. In the face of need most far mers have redoubled their eflclrts to inake big crops. In Catawba county, as we happen to know, many farmers have been driving their plows late at night 'making a des perate effort to save what they have grown and sow for another big har vest. A glance at the country on any public highway these days will show how the farmers have worked; the fields of wheat are proof. The tremendous yields this season declare the patriotism of the farmers and they have not had any strikes. If the rest of us would do our bit as well as the farmer has done his, we would win the war in a hurry. Capt. Edmund Jones and Represen tative Doughton are indulging in a lively newspaper controversy over the latter's support of the president in the war. Mr. Doughton was a sort of Yates Webb, but we have no idea he was opposed to the forces fighting for all free people. Morris Hilquit, alleged Socialist candidate for mayor of New York, is worth $."00,000, lives in an apart ment that costs him $2,000 a year, drives a big touring car and is a corporation lawyer. Once in a while you find a fellow who can coin money in politics. Tho Record believes in law enforce ment and is opposed to mob violence, but it cannot get around the fact that rough treatment for a scamp every now and then does a community good. The trouble is that the mob goes too far. Wo never start a criticism with out recalling what Adison said many years ago, that there is too much crit icism of public men by obscure scribes. At the same time we have our opinion of the allies for allow ing thy Germans to crush the Itali ans. Drafted men are said to desire to get at the kaiser. Those boys who have gone to training camps from Hickory like the work, hard as it is, and they are ready to show that they have the goods. That is the Amer ican spirit. The best soldiers in the world have been known, to break and run, and cowardice cannot be imputed to the Italians because a battalion of a few divisions made for the tall. There will be another issue of bonds early next year, and every man, woman and child who 'has not pur chased some of the last should be on. In other words the Germans and Austrians are "Forward with God" against the Italians, because the kais er loves 'em. Democracies can fight, but they cannot see very far ahead. Belgium, Serbia, Rumania and Italy are cases in point. INSANE MAN KILLS WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN Statesville Landmark. In Alexander county Saturday af ternoon about 3 o'clock, Mr. Carl E. White, a farmer 32 years old, killed his wife and two small children. The deed was the result of a violent at tack of insanity. Mr. Wjhite had not been normal for some time but only a day or two before the trag edy did his condition become alarm ing. Saturday members of his fam ily had been called to his home to take some action with reference to him. Victims Drained With Gun The killing occurred at the home of Mr. White's father, ex-State Sen ator W .E. White, in Ellendale town ship, Alexander county, about two miles from All Healing Springs and eight miles from Taylorsville. The mother and two little children were struck with a gun, the skulls being crushed. Th? brains of one of the children exuded from the wound. The insane father fired the gun once, but none of the shot took effect on the bodies of his victims. Both the chil dren were girls, one 17 months old and the other five years. After he had killed them the father placed their bodies beside that of their mother, on her arms. It was evidently his pur pose to kill other members of the family, and he looked for his father and mother, but they escaped. Mr. and Mrs. White had five children. The others are boys, the youngest younger than the older of the girl victims. After the tragedy Mr. White was overpowered and taken to jail at Taylorsville. It was necessary to use force in taking him. He was knocked down and slight injuries in flicted, but he was not seriously hurt. An effort will be made to commit him to the hospital for the insane in Raleigh as soon as possible. Buried in Watauga Mrs. Wlhite was about 30 years old. She was Miss Lola Watson, the daughter of Mr. Tom Watson, a well known citizen of Watauga coun ty, and her remains and those of her children were taken to Watauga Sun day morning for interment near Vir gil. Her father was notified Satur day evening of the tragedy. He came to Alexander and took the bod ies to Wlatauga, the transfer being made on an automobile truck. Origin of the Trouble Mr. Carl "White is 32 years old. He lived near the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W,'. E. White. Mr. L. O. White of Statesville, former su perintendent of Iredell schools, is a brother and there are five other brothers and two sisters living. When a boy Mr. White suffered a severe fright which affected him deeply and for a year he wouldn't go into a certain room in his fath er's home. WSiile the incident re mained on his mind in his youth, it seemed to pass with mature years and there was no thought of im pairment of his mental condition. Later the trouble came back in a mild form but it affected him so little that few outside of his family knew of it. s ODOnDDDDDnDnDQDDDnnilDIIDDDDDODIiailOnQDDnDD 0 Special Pastime This Afternoon & Night 1 a a VIOLA DANA in "The Girl Without a Soul" 5 Metro Wonderplay of Love and Sacrifice in 5 Parts. g Special Music Tonight by Hardie Turner. p ; a a Admission 5c and 10c a a aaDnnnnnnnnnnnDnannnnononDooDDOODODOoonn Professional Cards aaaaDDQnDDDDDiLaaQDrasiDDaBBDBBESli .11111. Illlllll 1111 Hit About six monjths ago his mental condition became noticeably worse. He was melancholy, went about little and became excessively religious. Thinking a change of environment would help, his brother, Mr. Albert White, who is in the banking busin ess at Stony Point, took him to Stony Point to work. He made a good worker and there was nothing notice ably wrong about him. At the end of three weeks he went home, re fused to return to Stony Point and his mental condition grew worse. About a week ago his condition be came such as to cause uneasiness. Last Thursday night he was up a part of the night; said he couldn't sleep. Fri day night he was worse, was up all night, prayed and wanted to talk on the Scriptures all the time. Saturday morning his father phoned for Messrs L. O. and Arthur White to come home, as something would have to be done with Carl. Saturday fore noon the insane man hid his wife and children put on clean cljothes and go with his father and mother to the home of his brother. Mr. Parks Wlhite, in the same neighbor hood, for dinner. After dinner Carl, Parks and their father and mother, Mrs. Carl Wfiite and her chil dren went to the home of Mr. W. F. Wfcite. Mr. Wlhite talked to Carl, told him to quit his imagina tion and go to work and he would be all right. ORDINARY SHOW AT HUB TUESDAY NIGHT CAPTURED STILL ""Nuggett Nell,, was presented at the Hub Tuesday night before a fairly large crowd. The attraction, according to persons who saw it, was about the worst that has been to Hickory this year, the actors apr parently depending on their physical charm to delight the audience. The show was common and does not de serve patronage.. If the company will give clean, performances, its presence in Hickory could be justified probably, but under the circumstances, it is far from elevating. The least said about it the better. Dr. W. B.
