GOOD REPORT ON
- ARCHANGEL
FRONT
By the Associated Tress.
Washington, April 15. Brigadier
General Wilds T. Richardson, the new
commander of the American forces in
north Russia, has reported the mili
tary situation satisfactory in his first
official dispatch since landing on the
Murmansk coast.
The message sent to General Per
shing and relayed by him today to
the war department was dated Ap
ril 13 or about two weeks after the
munitions conduct of Co. I, 339th in
fantry, whih refused to go to the
front from Archangel.
It is assumed here that a satisfac
tory military situation means that
proper discipline prevails among the
American troops generally.
AN IRON PIPE CAN

Record is informed of such a casrj
A fellow started under his porch the
other morning and had forgot that
the plumber, according to instruc
tions, had run a pipe to carry off the
water from the refrigerator. That
pipe just came to the felliow's fore

one, as he strode under the pporch

BOB GUTHRIE
A VISIT
Newton, April 15. Last night about
8 o'clock Bob Guthrie, colored, who
lives on Walter Hoyle's place, near
this city, had a white man call at his
home and claimed that he was Christ.
He asked Bob for his Bible and when
the Bible was handed him, read from
the scriptures for the edification of
Bob. He read of Christ's second com
ing and told the colored man that he
was Christ. He talked and parley
ed with Bob and finally left and went
off towards Newton.
This morning Bob was plowing in
the field near his home when the
stranger again put in his appearance.
Upon approaching Bob he drew a big
Colt's pistol and told Bob to follow
him. He marched the; negro up
College street to the court house and
into the sheriff's office and turned the
negro over to the sheriff, saying
"here's your prisoner." It is said
the negro marched along like an obe
dient servant.
About that time Chief of Police
Woodward, who had heard of the af
fair, appeared upon the scene and
snatched the pistol from the crazy
man's hand. He gave his name as
Tom Ingland and his home as Bridge
water. He appeared to be about 40
years of age. He cried when talk
ing to the sheriff about his wife and
two children who are at DuPont, Va.
The old negro told Register of Deeds
Sigmon that he would have gone
anywhere "wit dat" man. Ingland
was placed in jail.
A series of revival meetings began
at Middlebrook last night and will
continue for ten days. Revs. D. E.

At a general meeting of the cele

L
TEAM MAKES GOOD
Undoubtedly a brief summary of
the Lenoir baseball team's recent
tour of western North Carolina will
not only be interesting to the fans
and people of Hickory, but plasing.
The college team last week won five
games out of five against teams and
colleges a great deal larger in num
ber of students, however, lower in
caliber and standard. Last Tuesday
they defeated the strong Kenilworth
team at Biltmore, 6 to 3; Wednesday,
Mars Hill 11 to 4: Thursday, first
game, Bingham 11 to 6; Friday, Bing
ham!, second game, 8 to 0; a no-hit
no-run game for Miller, and Satur
day the Asheville school 8 to 0. Few
teams anywhere in the whole country
havemade such a record and the peo
ple of the town shopld be proud of
this fact.
Also on Wednesday of this week
Lenoir will meet Liberty-Piedmont
on the local diamond. Another erood
game in view. Likewise on Easter
Monday Lenoir will play on the local
diamond another old rival, Spencer.
Large crowds are expected to attend.
While on the western trip, both H.
H. Fritz and R. L. Fritz, Jr., succeed
ed in knocking a home-run. Miller
starred m both games he pitched.
Jack Davis lead in batting, securing
10 hits., Pete Deaton during the
second game with Bingham was
painfully injured, receiving a bad dis
placement of his fore-finger. Hahn
then took his place behind the bat
and did it remarkably well. Coach
Yoder featured prominently through
out the entire trip as did Benneld,
Sox and Barger.

DECLARES TERMS OF
LOAN ARE VERY LIBERAL
Richmond, Va., April 15. Gov.
George J. Seay, of the federal reserve
bank of Richmond has issued the fol
lowing statement regarding the out
look for the successful flotation of the
Victory Liberty loan:
"It will be an agreeable surprise
to the country that the government
has to call upon the people for only
four and one-half billions for the
great Victory loan and growing fi
nancial undertaking of the great and
terrible war.
"There has never been shown by
the people of any nation either in
this war or at any other time such
exhalation and unanimity of pur
pose, and now that the purpose which
burned in our hearts has been ac
complished there should and will be
no faltering in finishing the work
which was given us to do. The terms
of the loan are liberal by comparison
with any financing ever undertaken
by our government and they are de
signed to appeal to the savers of the
countfy, -the; people of small and
moderate incomes. Never before was
it so important to our national life
and prosperity to save and the savings
of the people during the war are now
our shield against adversity. A wide
distributon of the loan will greatly
improve the banking situation and en
able the banks to take better care
of reviving business.
"All Liberty loan workers are can
ed upon to make this loan the crown
ing success of their magnificent pa
triotic labors."

of Night Officer Pope to reform him.
This time Guy has been interested in
the poultry business and before the
fever was removed he had acquired
three of Mrs. J. L. Lyeriy's fat hens
those hens, one would bet, that the
good lady was saving for the celebra
tion and sold 'em to somebody who
ought to know that Guy's interest in
hens is only transitory. These hens
were not recovered. Guy picked up
a layer belonging to Mr. John Huff
man, but she was returned to the
owner.
Chief Lentz this morning had three
automobile wrenches and a baby car
riage robe which they found. The
thief had no use for them, but the
owners may recover if they desire.
