Nothing will help more to make this the best place on earth to live. When that committee comes up this week from Raleigh it will be up to all to see that they are given a warm wel come, shown the advantages of the city and county. Many of our citizens can find time to personally meet and talk with them and tell them of the many advantages of this section. The fact that Lincolnton has attract ed the attention of the joint committee of the legislature enough to get them to come here and investigate is proof that Lincolnton has an opportunity of a life time. Let the citizens rise to the occasion. .'. Speaking of the liquor legislation agitating the minds of the legisla tors in Raleigh the Greensboro Record pays: "If the legislature cuts out liq uor shipments, the only way a fellow can get it is to go after it, but after Virginia becomes dry a year from next November, he will have to go as far as Washington. It will be a case like Uncle Remus and the turkey. He said he had noticed it made a difference how one prayed; if he prayed to the Lord to send him a turkey he always failed, but when he prayed to the Lord to send him after one He always heard him." J EWTON ENTERPRISE 37th VOLUME. ENTERS The last issue of the Newton Enter prise came forth with a new dress, on entering its 37th volume. Editor Wil liams has. been steering the course of this paper for 34 years. The Enter prise rings clear on all issues for the public good, is Democratic, and is rendering a great service to its com munity. The News wishes continued success to our neighbor. In announcing the above fact the Enterprise says: ; The Enterprise today enters into its 37th volume. The present editor became its editor and proprietor thirty four years ago today. It is not our pur pose to speak of the trials and pleas ures we have experienced during this third of century. There have been many of both. We are glad to be alive, and feel as young as when we wrote the solutatory for the first Issue. We are celebrating our birthday with a new dress of type and feel the same enthusiasm in looking forward - to seeing the paper come off the press and indulging in the same speculations as to what the readers, many of whom were its patrong thirty-four years ago, will think of its editorials and appearance as when wewere r prepar ing copy for the first issue. : Tiia Hill Cslliii? of Dllicrtioetl demands the utmost precaution In msin- taining Health at higa efficiency because it is doubly important and nothing in the world is so needful as Scott's Kinulsion, good cheer and sunshine, bcott a Emul sion makes the blood rich and pure.

J. publicly and retracts all of his criti cisms, and in their place, oners gar lands of praise. Simmons has been the ablest de fender of administration policies in the senate. He is one of the big and influ ential man in official life upon whom the president leans. His counsel and advice are sought at the White House, and no more brilliant battles have ever been fought in congress than those led by Simmons for tariff and other reforms. Just now Simmons as has been his custom, is fighting the president's fight on the ship purchase bill. Ye think none is loft who would further dare question the democracy of Furnifold M. Simmons of the state of North Carolina. Charlotte News. FURNIFOLD M. SIMMONS. He was a "reactionary," a. "protec tion democrat," a "republican, a stand patter and various other kinds of un-jtesiraLle-That ja what jae-were- told only a few years ago by opponents of Hon. Furnifold M. Simmons. If re elected there were those who were certain that Simmons would be the most dangerous foe to true Jeffer sonian democracy in the senate. He was all right but he just'"" simply wouldn't do, for he was "out of har mony" with democratic theory and democratic cult. In thosf days The .News made bold to defend the democracy of Simmons; it dared to try in its own way to show that his democracy had always been on straight; that he was an able, a valuable and conscientious man. - And Simmons went back to the sen ate. There were those, then, who were cerUiin that he would stab the back, slash thp throat, sandbag, shut tle, puncture,: blow up and otherwise maim and multilate democracy. They waited with fenwni.' unns fi.a r.,.. grand break.- They waited in vain. Contrary to the expectations of those who wished to see Simmons prove traitor to democracy, he has proven himself the strong arm upon which the administration today relies His enemies are disavowing their for mer criticisms and heaping upon his head fulsome elogeums. There wa, Mark Sullivan of Col lier's. Sullivan was certain Simmons was an enemy to anything savoring of democratic principle. But Sullivan has hnd the scales of prejudice remov ed from his eyes. He sees Simmo.g now in his true light. Savoyard, the well-known Washington correspondent, opposed Simmons but Savoyard like the man that he is comes out now NEW POINTS TO WEBB'S RATING Congressman Webb's effort on the floor of the House in behalf of the ship-purchase bill was a notably able one. the situation was presented in a ciear-cut manner ana tne facts ww e driven home to some effect. The con tenuons or tne Administration were summed up concisely and the argu ment advanced should ' have given strength to the cause. When it was annouueed that Mr. Webb had been selected to lead the fight for the Ad ministration in the . House confidence wa felt that he would make good account of himself, yet is is but stat- ng the truth to say that he rather ex ceeded the expectations of his friends. Mr. Webb has added a few points to his rating as a Congressman of abil ity and influence. Charlotte Obser- er. . MAY MEAN END OF WORLD. Baltimore, Feb. 17. That it looks as if the Scriptures are being fulfilled and the end of the world is approachi ng was the statement of Cardinal Gib bons tonight. The prelate made the statement to a reporter in u general iscussion of the war. "The news coni ng from Europe is terrible," Tie said. It awes me. It is beyond our realiza tion. We cannot grasp its magnitude or what it means. It is terrible, horrible, indeed.. -.,..,;.,.;,. ...... .... r "Does it not look like the Scriptures are being fulfilled ?--'Natlon shall rise against nation and there shall be sor row throughout the world which will e a sign that the end is near ?" he was asked. -. "Yos it does," he admitted in reply Think for a moment what this war means, if you can. I cannot. , When one life is lost on board ship, all the country is startled. When the Titanic iank with l"ore than 1000 of its pas sengers, the world was horrified. That a thing that occurred onlv once. Loss of life in great numbers occurs only once in a while. But now, in this greatest war of the world, a thousand nay, 10,000 lives, are being sacrifiecd every hour the war continues." A BILL TO BE ENTITLED The support which came rrom the North Carolina members of the House of Representatives in behalf of the ship purchase bill of the administra tion was worth while. Congressman Webb was the leader in the fight which resulted in victory. His open ing speech was a jtrong pne, and. In the debate there was valuable aid giv en by Congressman John H. Small and Congressman Edward W.'PouTT" The Government farm demonstra tions agents for the western district of North Carolina, which includes Guilford : countyjind all counties west of that county to the Tennessee line will hold a district meeting in Hickory March 1 to 14 inclusive.

The famous Catawba county sweet potatoes are beginning to move in small ldts to the markets in this State and South Carolina. In a week or two they will begin to leave in carload lots.

Ship Men Say They Have Made Ready And Will Stand Pat New York, Feb. 18. The arrival today of that threatening period when neutral ships are no longer exempt from danger in British waters caused no let up to the shipping preparations and plans of the American exporters. The German notice to the world will be disregarded, it is said by leading steamship men, and American cargoes will continue to be sent from ports on the Atlantic and Pacific right into the teeth of the so called danger zone. The ship owners refuse to believe that any extraordinary menace lies before them. They are confident that England will find a way to protect the sea routes in the prescribed zone. It is not believed that the North Sea blockade of the German fleet will be seriously lessened by the addition of patrols for the area now threatened. By some the danger is believed to be imminent, but they also beneve In taking, chances particularly in view of J the handfome profits being reaped in the export trade at this time.

Some man with a long heao discov ered that a disc harrow used on a clay road that had dried after being cut into deep ruts by many wheels, help ed greatly in making the road smooth and the harrow used before the drag saved a great deal of dragging. This week disc harrows have been used to good advantage on the roads in this county. The disc harrow and the King road drag soon make a good road out of an exceedingly bad one. Now that spring is approaching and the people are beginning to think about making garden and planting flower seeds, all persons shouia pen up their chickens. Nothing can cause hard feelings and estrangements among neighbors quicker than depre dations of chickens.
