IBSUKD TUESDAY AND FEIDAT TUESDAY, APEIL 16, 1912 THE CIVIC LEAGUE The News realizes that it 18 treading on dangerous ground in again suggesting to the ladies that Lincolnton, above all things at present, need3 a live civic league The board of alderman have set the pace in building the nice ce ment sidewalks that now adorn the streets of the town. In fa they have gone a step further and ordered several of the old build ings torn away. After all this work is completed just picture in your mind for a minute the differ ent appearance of the town after the dainty touch of woman has in a way "set the house in order." At one time, we understand there was some trouble between some of the officials and the ladies about certain work being done on the square. This we do not believe will occur again. Chief Faries has, on several occasions stated to the editor of The News that he would gladly co operate with the civic league and we believe he will do everything in his power to help the good work along. , While we haven't mentioned the matter to any of the alderman yet we feel sare these gentlemen will gladly assist the ladies in any way possi ble to make the work a complete success. Capt. A. C. Hartzoge The Old Pioneer Miller Visits The Place That it Dear to Hit Heart. On last Friday, Capt A. C. Hartzoge, accompanied by h i s daughter, Miss Edna, came down from Cherryville to visit friends in the vicinity of the Pioneer roll- i mill wriiph was nwnprt Tiv thfi late A, Costner and which is widely known as Costner's mill. This place is dear to Mr.Hartzoge's heart, for here it was that he serv ed for forty-three years as miller, having gone there when a young man shortly after the war. He became devoted to the place and to his employer the late A. Cost ner and tried diligently to give satisfaction in hi3 work. After Mr. Costner's death he left the mill and accepted the position as miller of the Cherryville Roller Mill.

He also related several stories about Vance. One was that while fighting in a battle at Newbern, a rabbit jump ed up and went running off, and Vance said "go it cotton tail if I had no more reputation to sustain than you I would run too." Anoth er was that on one accasion while a candidate for office that Vance was late one day in arriving to meet his political opponent at a place designated where they weretoT makespeeches, and that after the crowd had about given him out they looked down the road and saw a large crowd coming with Vance in the lead playing on his fiddle, "Molly put the kettle" and that this was one time when he claimed to have fiddled himself into office.

MEXICAN (From Army and avy Journal) In a corner of the Cabinet Room at the "White House stands a map of Mexico, peppered over with red, yellow and green headed tacks. It is President Taft's Mexican war map. On it is registered every change in the Mexican situation. At the bases of some of the tacks numerals are written on tiny slips of varicolored paper. Other tacks fly miniature pennants, and others are connected with lines of arrows indicating a line of progress of federal or rebel troops. Frequently a Congressman or someone interested in Mexican af fairs will lay before the President a report regarding some district in Mexico. In an instant, by study ing this map, Mr. Taft is able to check up that report with the latest information received from the United States consular and diplomatic officers in Mexico, which means that he has a report received at least within the day and often within the hour upon that very district. At every con ference, at every Cabinet meeting, the President has before him on that map a complete survey of the Mexican situation. Since conditions have become so critical in Mexico the Acting See retary of State, Huntington Wil son, who is responsible lor the map, has placed one man at the map who gives his entire time to keeping it corrected up to the min ute. Several score times a day the telegraph keys at the State Department, just across the street, click oft a dozen code words, which an operator slowly unsnarls to form a message, the daily report perhaps, of the Consul ; of Duran go, Mexico, announcing the ad vance of the Federal forces toward Velardena, where 100 Americans are penned up awaiting relief. In a little while the man in charge of the map crosses over from the State -Department -to the White House, enters the Cabinet Eoom and advances one of the green headed tacks on the map one-sixteenth of an inch nearer the tiny speck marking the town of Velar dena. At the War Department, the Department of Justice and the War College other code messages are clicking off the keys in endless confusion. A secret agent reports to the Department of Justice a border raid or threatened gather ing of troops south of Juarez. To the War Department Colonel Steever reports the dispatch of the American Cavalry to some troub lous border point Likewise the War College is told of each bridge burned and each railway track destroyed. From Chihuahua in the north to Chiapas in the south the consular offices of Washington are scattered, there being also many officials and officers on duty on the border. Every move of federals and rebels is report ed. The Americans are counted; even the money which each could secure to fiee the country is learn ed. 'All of this information i3 transferred to the map in the Cab inet Eoom. Each colored tack tells a story the location of feder al and rebel forces, conditions of unrest or of anarchy, or the opin ion of the consuls as to the safety of American lives or interests. On some days, at the State De partment alone, nearly eighty re ports are received from consular officers and from the Embassy in Mexico City. There is a duplicate of the President's map in the of fice of the Acting Secretary of State, and another one is kept at the War College. , It is never nec essary for the President at a Cabi net meeting or when he is discus sing trie Mexican situation witn Secretary of War Stimson or Act ing Secretary of State Wilson to go back over the course of develop ments. He has it before him, cor rected up to the hour of discus sion. He has but to turn in his chair and glance at the map to learn whether the revolutionary movement has swung north or south, whether the forces of either are threatening any border point, or whether American interests at any point are threatened. Telegrams are constantly coming in to the White House and to the State Department, asking protec tion for some American citizen or for American' property in Mexico. Eelatives of persons who have not heard from them for several days incessantly appeal to Washington for news. la an instant the war map shows what is the probable danger to that person or that prop erty. If the inquiry names a lo cality in which conditions are par ticularly bad the consul is asked to make a special report, but in a great many cases inquiries come respecting localities where condi tions are practically peaceful, and, in that case, the inquirer can be reassured without delay. At the present time the map shows the rebels have pushed their control around the states of Chihuahua and Coahuila, and south along the border of Sinaloa to Zacatecas. South of Mexico City the map changes daily, even hourly. There it is mostly bandits fighting, un ruly mobs being gathered here and there today and dispersed to morrow. The strength of the forces at each place and all trans fers of troops are noted on the map. Thus, if American inter ests at any point appear threaten ed, it is instantly known iu Wash ington what chance there is of the Mexican government's rushing troops to that point. TheLurabas sy at Mexico City, likewise, re ceives reports from all over the country, so that the State Depart ment and the Embassy are able to work in harmony, each with a per fect knowledge of the information before the other even at the most critical times. This is the answer to the ques tion so frequently asked in Wash ington: ..'.'How can a man as busy as the President keep abreast of the whirlwind changes in the Mexican situation!" Fortunately, the itacks marking the Mexican troops are at the present time mostly plugged in the lower half of the map, but if some day he sees the arrows of the map swerve and the man from the State' Department picks out a number of green headed tacks to stick near some border point it will be the signal for a call to Secretary Stimson, Acting Secre tary Wilson and General Wood, and perhaps the news columns will flare again with the reports of more troops ordered to the border, The war map is supplemented with the reports which: are re ceived from the United States agents ia Mexico. These reports are compiled, indexed and printed at the State Department Mr. J. T. Heavner, of Crouse route one was a Lincolnton visitor Friday. Pats End To Bad Habit.

Edwards Pictures The Terrible One In His True Light Taft Will Lick Him and Then the Democrats Will Lick Tail. ' For a man who has been abso lutely opposed to nearly every thing that Theodore Eoosevelt has ever done or said in the past fifteen years, for the simple reason that I knew him at close quarters and sized him up for what he really is, it is rather remarkable that at this late day, I am in absolute accord with the former President of the United States. Since 'his an nouncement of his candidacy for the Presidency and his statement that all of the common people were for him, as if he expected every body to get up and kowtow to him and say my deanMr. Eoosevelt here is the nomination on a silver platter, and since absolutely the contrary has confrouted this war rior in buckram, he has been howl ing mad and hurling his anathemas at everything in sight. He is mad clean through and is calling every body all the names that the news papers will print and the Lord knows how many names he called them that they won't print. As I said before, I absolutely agree with him in his estimate of the Eepub lican politicians and their methods. He says he has been swindled and robbed in all the primaries that have been held. He says the Republican politicians are robbers and thugs and theives and high binders and every known adjective that can be applied to undesirable citizens he has given to the mil itant Eepublican politicians and, therefore, I absolutely agree with Mr. Eoosevelt and he is absolutely correct in every particular appertaining to those afore said politicians. I do not mean that every man who is a Eepub lican, necessarily comes in contact with the definition of Mr. Eoose velt, but I mean that he is correct when he says that the aforesaid On Thursday, April 25, 1912, Com mencing at 10 O'clock A. M. I will sell at public auction for cash, the entire stock of goods wares and merchandise of Simmons Company. Said sale continuing from day to day Collect all money due you, hunt around and get up your loose change, fill your pockets with money and attend sale for bargains Just think, the entire stock of " Dry Goods, Shoes, Clothing, Dress Goods, Hats, Notions, and Fixtures, AS Well as That Millinery, going at public auction. Until day of sale, goods . will go at greatly reduced prices. , This, stock of goods must go. I can't hold it. Such a sale may .never occur again. Get Bargains While C ; RECEIVER. 15th April, 1912. Eepublican politicians are ab solutely guilty of all the crimes he imputes to them. They have been treating the Democratic party in that same way ever since I can remember anything about politics, and although they elevated him to a very high position, to which he was never entitled, yet at this late day he has discovered his error in believing them whitestoled saints and doted on them because they were giving him what he wanted. Now that he finds out he is not getting what he wants, he is mad clean through and willing to use his strenuous propensities for tear ing down things and playing the iconalast in ripping the whole Eepublicau party up the back, simply because he followed the ad vice of a few soreheads and dis appointed politicians in the Eepub lican party, and he finds himself in a condition that never confront ed any other public man in the United States in all of its history. He has thrown a scare into his Eepublican friends in this city who are members of the Senate and the House of Representatives and other high official positions as big as an Iowa barn. They all feel and know that he not only is doing incalculable harm to the Eepub lican party but that he also is eliminating them from public life, and getting them out of their jobs. They see the handwriting on the wall and there is a great big com mittee forming in Washington to go to see Eoosevelt and tell him in plain language that he not only is playing the devil and Thomas Walker, Esquire with the pros pects of the Eepublican party, but that he is killing himself and all of his good friends, and that he would better put on the soft pedal and subside. - 8eriously speaking, the whole truth is that the ablest politicians and statesmen in the United States, who congregate in this National Capital, have come to the con clusion that Eoosevelt has been ! J7T7T7 M c misled by a coterie of parasites and his incredible thirst for ap plause and power, and that he has now overriden all the decencies of fiiendship and honor and stands sprawled in the mire shaking his fist impotently and howling his rage, a spectacle to all mankind. These parasites and soreheads have not only led Eoosevelt to betray a friend, but have led him to be be trayed to a public scorn, which leaves this superman mouthing like a clown and cursing like a drab with nothing but laughter in stead of applause to follow his every action.
