Lincolnton has a water works sys tem, a sewerage system, an electric lighting system, and she needs to get up out of the mud and look more like a city, , Lincolnton business men might make this a banner year for inducing people in the surrounding territory to make Lincolnton their . headquarters fur everything. . We believe a sales ' day on the first Monday in each month would help matters. Put us down as favoring the hen club. We see it stated in a paper that somewhere up in the western part of this state a party of progressive wo men have started what is known as a hen club, the idea teingi similar . to. what has created so great, an interest in hog raising in some parts of the country, and, from all reports, it is go ing to do wonders producing hen fruit. As long as eggs stay around 30 cents per dozen there can't be too many hen clubs. : In fact hen fruit is more of a money crop than cotton. We hope there are a few hen clubs in Lincoln county, if not, why not organize a few. A club is intended to develop the so cial side of life, as well as look out for the financial side. So let us have hen clubs. LADIES BEAD EDITORIAL PAGE. The editor of the News has made a discovery already this year. We have discovered that the ladies of Lincoln ton read the editorial page. On be ginning the new year we printed a little innocent squib which read: "May the new year bring you happi ness, a full pocketbook, and a wife if you haven't one." Our attention has been called to this paragraph several times by some of Lincoln's famous beauties. They wish to know why we can't also think of the ladies in this style. And to save our soul we could not give a satisfac tory answer to the inquirers. Our readers men will sympathize with us, no doubt, for when the ladies get after us we know we are up against a problem. We know our cakes all dough. Will some wise one help us. Don't all speak at once. THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH. . New York W.jrld. - . . ... A fine, wholesome and hearty speech Was that which, the President made at Indianapolis yesterday. No cautious qualifications, no carefully balanced phrases, no painfully polished periods, no soaring heights of rhetoric, no ifs, emds or buts, but straight-flung words that.weaLwhizzing tovtheir--mark. . The President had something to ssy and he said it. When he got through, everybody knew what he said, and everybody knew what he meant. People may agree or disagree vitri this, statement or that statement, with this policy or that policy, but nobody will question the rugged sincerity of the President's utterances. He was delivering a message to the country, and he said what was in his mind and his heart. What Mr. W ilson had to say about politics is quite inportant as what he had to gay about other things. It is the first time a President of the Uni ted States ever boldly announced that "politics no longer depends on the reg ulars in either party" and that "this country i8 guided in its policy by the independent voters." That is what the minority faction of the Democratic party and the maiorifv at tha i.nk. lican party have not yet learned. The one-third of the Republican party which Mr. Wilson rightly say is progressive belongs, with the two thirds of the Democratic party that is progressive. If the progressive Repub licans eould be added to the Democratic party and the reactionary Democrats sloughed into the Republican party, where they belong, we BhouUi havt a rational political alignment that would 8 far toward simplifying politics and government. This is the first time that Mr. Wil son has "cut loose" since he was inaug urated, and it wag worth while. What ever impression it may make on the critics of his administration whom he so boldly challenged, the Indianapolis speech presents the picture of an Executive, with a passionate devotion to justice and liberty, who is doing what he thinks is right, regardless of petty politics, and is making no apol ogies to anybody for the faith that is within him. . "BILLY" SUNDAY IN PHILADELPHIA. "Billy' Sunday, twentieth century evangelist, one-time star base runnel and center fielder of "Pop" Anson's old White Sox, has the staid city of Philadelphia eating out of his hand. The kind of gospel the Reverend "Billy' is handing to Philadelphia is something quite new to that town, and probably to any other east of the Rocky mountains, except those which lie has already awakened and which have witnessed earlier what he calls "The Chautauqua sulute to God," with which he opens his extraordinary re vival services. The huge tabernacle, which was built for the occasion, holds sixty thousand persons, and it is crowded to its capacity at every ser vice. Here are a few samples of "Billy's" pulpit oratory that is arous ing Philadelphia's religious fervor: "The Clay and Webster and Calhoun and Douglas and Lincoln type of American citizen has been supplanted by the good-for-nothing, God-forsaken, lick-spittle, peanut-headed, weasel eyed, whiskey-soaked, rum.-guzzling, gin-guzzhng politicians of our clay. "Down here the devil has forced the issue, but the devil would have cold feet -and pneumonia in twenty-four hours if we'd get busy and live the first twenty verses of the sermon on the, 'Mount. "Some would-be Christians are so stingy that they would steal flies from a blind spider. There are others so mean that they sing through their noses to save the wear and tear on their false teeth." HAVE YO' ANY MORE? An old colored man had a mule that would not move for him. He pulled and dragged his mule until he was ex hausted and finally he sat down and said: "Well ole felow, yo's got the best ob me." There was a drug store across the street and a thought struck him. He went across and said, "Hass yo' got ant'ing dat will make dat mule ob mine go?" The druggist said, "I don't know; I can try it." He came out and puched a little medicine into the mule's side. ; The mule com menced to wriggle around and finally oil he started over the side of the hill at a brisk pace. Sambo watched him for a moment or two and then ran into the drug store saying, "Mister, how much yo' ca'ge for dat medicine? "Ten cents." "Has yo' any mc,re?" "Yes," "Den jes put twenty cent Wuf inter me so I kin ketch dat mule." MISS EFFIE HOUCK. Newton, Jan. 12. The remains of Miss Effie Houck, who died at ' Dr. Long's sanatorium in Statesville Fri day, were carried to St. Stephen's church, about eight miles south of Newton, and interred Sunday. The services were conducted by the pastor, of the church, Rev, Mr, Barb, in the presence of a large number of friends. EX-PRESIDENT TAFT OPPOSES NATIONAL PROHIBITION. National prohibition is a danger ous proposition, said former , Presi dent Win. H. Taft, speaking before the Boston Bar Association's triennial banquet. "It would revolutionize the national government," he said. "It would put on the shoulders of the government the duty of sweeping the doorsteps of every home in the land. If national prohibition legislation is passed, lo cal government would be destroyed. And if you destroy local government you destroy one of the things which go to make for a healthy condition of the national government. "National prohibition is non enfor cible; it is a confession on the part of State governments of inability to con trol and .regulate, their, own especial business and duty; if the matter were placed under Federal control it would result in creation of a machinery of government officials large enough to nominate any President and would offer too great an opportunity to per sons seeking to perpetuate their pow er in Washington." , Hunters killed a deer in Mecklen burg county a few days ago, said to be the third deer killed within 20 miles of Charlotte in a few weeks.

Original Story by Nellie Ramsey of The 8th Grade of the Lincolnton Graded Schools. ' i In the mountains of West Va., where I once visited, the people were very superstitious and were continually narrating some harrowing ghost story for the benefit of any chance traveler with whom they might come in contact. The whole region abounded in haun ted houses, where no one would live, caves that were inhabited by various elves, goblins and spirits, which were a continual source of terror to the chil dren of the community and even the spirits of departed inhabitants could often be seen and heard. . The home of my uncle was situated ' in a beautiful green valley, which for- med a striking contrast to the bare hills around. In the top of one of these bleak wind swept hills stood a deserted house that was said to be haunted by the spirit of an unfortunate traveler who perished near there in a storm. As is natural with such places every one avoided it as much as possible. I boasted that I was not afraid of the "Mitchell house," as it was called and would not even be afraid to spend the night there. This was the time the ghost could be seen. My courage was soon to be tested. On a hot July afternoon I decided to ride to the nearest town to do some shopping. My uncle remarked that I had better be home before night, for there was every indication of a thun der storm, I found so many things to get in the town that it was almost dark when I started home. Already dark clouds were bordering the horizon and low mutterings of thunder could be heard constantly combined with intermediate flashes of lightning which made me hasten still faster. Just before 1 reached the haunted house the storm broke in all iu fury. I didn't relish the thought of stopping in the abode of spirits, especially as the unlucky traveler had perished in a storm just such as this was. Much as I had boasted my fearlessness of the place, I felt a nevous tremor of fear, when I thought of entering the old house, which seemed even more for lorn and desolate looking in the storm than ever before. This seemed to be -ny only alterna tive though, as the rain was then pouring in torrents, and no other shel ter was in sight. : Restraining my fear as much as possible. I rode up to the door, which I found unlocked and led my horse in. We were both drenched to the skin, and glad to get to any shelter in sight, no mailer if it .was the home of a whole legion of ghosts. The interior was enveloped in the blackest darkness, broken Only by keen flashes of lightning. Deep peals of thunder reverberated through the empty house with a hollow tomb-like sound. Naturally I began to listen for any noise that might be super natural. After listening attentively for a moment, I decided that there positively was a very mysterious noise very near me. It seemed as if I could hear a sound of suppressed breathing near me. Every moment increased my fear, and I resolved that I would brave the tempest outside rather than en dure another moment of the awful sensations experienced in the house. I crept up to my horse and just then an unusually bright flash of lightning illumined the whole room for I saw a white form crouched in the corner. This terrified me so that I determined to leave the place at once. The storm had now lost some of its fierce ness, and springing on my horse's back I galloped down the hill. ., : I found my uncle's family very un easy about me,but my adventures were soon related.. I maintained that if it wasn't exactly a ghost, I had seen it certainly was an apparition of some kind. Next day a neighbor called and told us of a young lady who was stopping in the village, and Jiadbeen outto visit the old house when the storm came so quickly she was obliged to take refuge in the house. She had been obliged to spend the night there and in passing back to her hotel she told of her adventure with the ghost. The mystery was solved but I could never boast of my courage again with out my conscience whispering some thing about the haunted house. NO CAUSE TO KICK. Durham Herald. The people had a chance to relieve the Legislautre of the purely local business of the counties, and as we failed to do this we should not now raise a kick at, what is going on, MAY NOT BE "REFAWMERS." Durham Herald. '; There are some big men in the Legislature and these can be expect ed to vote right on important ques tions when they come up, but we do not know that they are in a major ity or that they are particularly in'' terested in reform measures. House and Senate conferees of amendments to the immigration bill have agreed to elimniate the Sen ate provisions barring negroes and exempting Belgian farmers from the literacy test and certain other re quirements. AH other differences, none substantial, were compromised. Virtue and taienta, though allowed their due consideration, yet are not enough to procure a man a welcome wherever he goes. Locke.
