ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR l ; S s. fx r 4 ii MANY SHIPS SENT TO THE BOTTOM London, March 14, Tho submarine U-29, one of the largest 'and fastest of German Under-water craft, has had a successful three days off the Scilly islands and in the English channel, where on Thursday, Friday and Sat urday she sank four British steamers and one French steamer and damag ed three 'others. The German com mander gave the crews of most of the steamers time to leave their ves sels and in some cases towed the ships' life-bonts with the crew to passing steamers by which thoy were brought to port. - London, March IS. The Admiralty announced tonight that the British col lier Invergyle was torpedoed today off Creswell, England, and sunk. All the crew were saved. The admiralty announcement says that since the 10th of March seven ' British merchant steamers had been torpedoed the submarines. Two of these it is stated, were sunk and of two others, it is S9id that 'the sink ing is not confirmed." Three were not sunk. The two steamers officially report ed sunk are the lnvergyle and the In dian City, which was torpedoed off the Sicilly Islands on March 12. The crew of the Indian City was reported rescued. The two steamers whose reported sinking is not yet officially confirmed are the Florazan which was torpedo ed at the mouth of the British Chan nel on March 11, all of her crew be ing landed at Milfordhaven, with the exception of one fireman and the An duluse, which was attacked off the Scil ly Islands on March 12. The crew of the latter vessel is reported rescued The Andenwen was torpedoed in the English Channel March 11, and , has since been towed into Cherbourg. Her crew was landed at Brisham The steamer Headlands was torpedoed March 12 off the Scilly Islands.

British Hare Lost 88. London, March 13. The admiralty announcing tonight the total number of British merchant and fishing ves : sets lost through hostile nction since the war's outbreak, says 88 merchant vessels were sunk cr captured. Of those, 64 were victims of hostile crui sers, 12 were destroyed by mines and 22 by submarines. Their gross ton nage totaled 309,945. In the same period the total arri vals and sailings of overseas steam ers of all nationalties of more than 300 tons net, were 4,745. Germans Making a Desperate Drive Against Russians in North Poland. London, March 12. Just as the French attacked the German in the West when Field Marshall von Hin denburg made his drive from East Prussia last month, so the British ar my operating in Flanders has under taken the task of relieving pressure on its Russian ally, now that the Rus sians again are being attacked in North Poland. This is part of the general plan of the Allied generals. When one is attacked the other at tacks to compel the Germans and Aus trians to keep strong forces at every point and endeavor to prevent them from sending new troops where they could do the most good. The Germans now are attempting to crush the Russians. For this purpose they are reported to have an army estimated at nearly a half million men marching along the roads toward Prtnsynsz. To prevent this army from being strengthened further the British are thrusting at the German line north of La Base and besides re porting the capture of the village of Neuve Chappelle it is asserted that they have advanced beyond that town. The battle taking place in the East, experts say, is the biggest pitched battle of the war, no less than a mil- . lion men being engaged. The Germans : in their official report claim an advan ce, while Petrograd considers it like ly that the Russians will have to fall back beyond Przasnysi as they did last month, before making a stand. It probably will be days before a de- finite result is attained in this bat tle. British Warships Gather. Norfolk, Va., March 11. With as surance that five British warships are only a few miles off the Virginia rapes, the coast guard cutter .Onon daga went out to sea today to inves tigate and enforce the neutrality laws of the United States. The warships were in constant wire less communication with each other and the second came in with such sharpness at this port, that it was de cided that the ships could not be very farr off the capes. - - The coast guard cutter .Apache, ar rived today, and will, it is said, assist the Onondago in patrolling the coast. . Commander of the Prim Kitel Bad no Right to Sink Frye. Washington, March 11. Unless the German government voluntarily offers to make restitution for the destruc tion of the American ship Frye, sunk by the converted cruiser Prim Eitel Friedrich in the south Atlantic, and expresses regret for the occurrence, - strong, protest will be made by the United States with request for re paration. No announcement concerning the case probably will be made, high offi-1 timo oaiu, uuui ifriier nn investigation of all the facta had been completed. President Wilson at the White House, stated during the day that a searching inquiry would be conducted. Officials were unanimous in their opinion and it was shared largely by diplomatists, too that the command r of the Prim Eitel had no right to I ; aend the Frye to the bottom. Officials 1 considered it probable that the Ger ; man government, after being apprised of the facts, would admit the error of the naval commander and agree to make the usual reparation. Some offi cial thought sufficient amends, after the payment of damages would be the court-martialing of the German offl- THAW HAPPIEST MAN v - IN NEW YORK After Acquittal He Whistles Like A Boy in The Tombs. New York March 13. Harry K. Thaw acquitted today of conspiracy in escaping from Manteawan, faced tonight a renewal of the determined efforts of New York State to send him back to the asylum. In his cell in the Tombs he was enthusiastic. His keep ers said he was whistling like a boy and seemed to be the happiest man in the city. Almost endless litigation seemed to be in sight as the result of the ver dict. The words of acquittal had scarcely died on Foreman Bailey's lips when Deputy Attorney General Cook moved to have Thaw recommitted to Matteawan. This was opposed bv John B. Stanchfield, chief of Thaw's counsel, on the ground that the court already had under advisement a mo tion to return Thaw to New Hamp shire, whence he came to answer the conspiracy charge. The motion was renewed and Supreme Court Justice Page set Monday for argument there on. New York, March 12. The defense in the trial of Harry K. Thaw and four co-defendants for conspiracy in escaping from the Mattewan asvlum rested this morning after calling sev eral character witnesses for Roger i nompson. His Testimony. Harry Kendall Thaw went on the witness stand yesterday and told the complete story of his escape from Mattewan .A dual purpose, his attor ney said, prompted him. He desired to convince the jury trying him and his co-defendants and an indictment charging conspiracy, that he had re covered his reason. He wanted also to take all blame. Thaw testified that the men the state alleges conspired with him were not conspirators, but men he had em ployed to assist him out of the state after he himself had effected his es cape. He said he paid them $6,000 for their services and gave Roger Thomp son, who accompanied him to Canada "a present of $1,000." The witness declared he thought he had a legal right to be from the hospital as he he believed himself sane and that he remained there his reason ultimate ly would have been dethroned. Thaw told his storv after his attor neys had made many vain attempts to get into the record the testimony of a half doxen alienists and more than a score of laymen, who had an opportunity to observe his actions. . In reply to questions Thaw said: "By August, 1913, I had come to believe that it would be an impossi bility for me to get out by legal means. I was informed that the meth ods by which people usually get out would be unsuccessful in my case." Thaw said he slept in a ward with a score or more of persons who were insane. "When they would become violent, he went on, "they were put in straight jackets." The prosecution's objection to that line was sustained. Thaw said he had been advised by Alfred Henry Lewis, a writer who had since died, that he would be vio lating the law in escaping, providing no violence was used to effect the escape. "With that thought in mind I de cided to leave the institution." Thaw contineud. "So I instructed H... A. Hoffman, one of my agents, to get me two automobiles. I told Mr. Hoff man where I wanted the automobiles placed and I- fixed, the hour at 7 o'clock. I knew the .milk wagon ar rived there at that time on Sunday morning. - . .. "Did you believe yourself sane?" "I did." "Did you intend to commit a crime?" "I was exceedingly particular not to commit a crime," Thaw continued: "I never saw anv of th m-rls. fendants before that morning. I gave the men in the automobiles their in structions and they carried them out I wanted to get to Pittsburg with out crossing the state of New York. That was why I started out to go around through Canada." - Uireet examination ended. Thaw was cross examined by Deputy Attor ney General Cook. 'Do you remember when you plead ed not guilty on the ground of insan ity?" asked Mr. Cook. "ifes. I remember that," Thaw re plied. "The plea was made by Mar tin Littleton, my counsil, but I did not authorize it. It was made without my permission." Harry Thaw. If Harry Thaw, now on trial in New York for conspiracy in escaping from mattewan asylum, does not win his liberty this time it will not be because he failed to have the highest priced legal talent In his trials for the mur der of Stanford White he had lawyers who did not, in the opinion of scores of other lawyers, handle the case well. This time he has as advisory counsil r Inlander L, Knox, former secretary of state, Wiliam A. Stone, former gov- J ernor of Pennsylvania- John B. Stanch- field, the highest priced trial lawyer in New York City and Morgan J. O'Brien, formerly on the bench of the appellate division in New York. While Messrs. Knox.and Stone have not appeared in the trial room in New xork, they have been advising Thaw concerning the case since his escape from the New York asylum. Mr. btancntield has been employed in nearly every imoortant criminal case in New York for the past six rears. No one knows definitely his fees, but it is understood he will not take a case like that of Thaw for less than $25,000. Since Judge O'Brien re tired from the Bench he has been at the head of the firm of lawyers who charge the highest prices in the coun- i ' .: GASOLINE AND DYESTUFFS. Washington. March 12. Secretary Lane announced after the cabinet meeting today that he had entered into a contract with private interest to build a $250,000 plant to house the invention of Dr. Walter G. Rittman of the Bureau of Mines, a process for the manufacture of gasoline, dyestuffs and explosive. Another Veteran Writes Interesting Letter of George D. Cau ble, of Company E, 34th Regiment Mrs. A. Nixon, Historian Southern Stars Chapter, U. D. C. Dear Madam: At your request I will give you some incidents of my war experience. I volunteered Aug ust the 31st 1861, and saw four years service. I was a member of Company E, 34th Regiment, John F. Hill our first captain. I was Fourth Sergeant. Our regiment participated in many hard fought engagements. I was in all the battles of our regiment from Cedar Run to Gettysburg. At Bull Run a minie ball bursted the stock of my gun. At Ox Hill I was struck in the side by a ball that seemed to have the force of a grape shot It struck my blanket and knocked me around. The wound put me out of service a month. At Ox Hill Col. Richard H. Riddick was mor tally wounded. He was the colonel of our regiment. I knew Col. Riddick well. I had gone to school to him, in the old academy in Lincolnton, in the building that is now our Memorial Hall. Col. Riddick was related to the Sumners and was then teaching under Prof. Ben), bumner, the father of Benj H. and Ed Sumner. Col. Riddick was a veteran of the Mexican war. I saw him leave Lincolnton for Mexico. He was a good soldier and well liked. At Ux Hill we also lost Major t,li Miller, and one of my company, Lieut Hen ry D. Eaton and private George Ful briuht This seemed a small engagement after the tight was over we were scat tered along the pike, the road to Cen terville. In the night Gen. Hoke re cognized my voice and knew me. Some of the boys were leaving me, Hoke was a great soldier and careful of his men. We had been school boys to gether in the old academy. Anoth er school mate was Stephen D. Ram saur also a great general and we too met- in the war. We went into the Chancellorsville fight on Sunday morning May the 3rd 1863; we had laid on our guns ready for action all the night before and went into the battle about daylight This was a great battle and we were victorious. I picked up a Federal offi cer's knapsack, and got a good supply of rations. Our great loss in this bat tle was the fall of Stonewall Jackson. He went between the lines to recon noiter. We were expecting a charge and he had left orders to fire if heard any one between the lines. Get ting in this place himself in the dark ness by mistake our men fired on Jack son and his staff. This was nearly in front of our - regiment on Saturday night He was carried by his men on a litter through our regiment. I saw the litter. His fall was a great loss to the Confederacy. At Chancellors ville our company lost Perry Carpen ter, Dan Hovis, and others, and sev eral were wounded. We had a well drilled company. It was drilled by our first lieutenant. James Tiddy. I was often on detail to drill the recruits as they come into our company.' The last battle I was in was the battle of Gettysburg the greatest battle of the war. This was Ti. , on : i. in juiy looo. uur regiment wan en gaged the first and the third days. We lay in reserve the second. I re member on this day a red fox came through the lines. There were so many soldiers and the lines so long he was kept a going until he was fin ally captured. On the third day our regiment was in the charge. we came to a stone fence. There were Yanks on our front and by a flank movement thev came in behind some of us. I found myself cut off. There was live of my company cut otf with me. They were Marc Heavner, Marc Holly. Marc Weathers, Jake Friday, and myself. We were ordered to throw down our guns and there was nothing left for us to do but obey. This was my first time to get into trouble. We were then missing Stonewall Jackson. This finished my active soldier life. I was taken on the 4th day of July to Fort McHenry, Baltimore. We were marched through the streets of Balti more.. After, we surrendered they were good to us. We were then put on a boat and sent to Fort Deleware, where we staid two months; then we were transferred to Point Lookout where remained almost a year and a half. Was paroled and arrived at home 4th day of March 1865. When ordered back got as far as Concord, learned the Yankees were in Salis bury. At Concord met some of the soldiers from Salisbury. Among them I remember Capt Hill, Lewis Hoke, and others. I rode on top of the train from Concord back to Char lotte and then walked the plank road home. Were almost half dozen of us. We slept one night in the covered bridge at Dr. Hunter's. Then I re member stopping at Chris Beal's, the place where-1 was born. For fear of Yankees we flanked Lincolnton, land ed at home and in a few days heard of the surrender at Appomattox. My whole experience would make a long story but this is some of it 1 appreciate what the daughters of the Confederacy have done for the old soldiers, highly appreciate it, and hope they will have great reward both now and in hereafter. Very truly, GEO. D. CAUBLE. London, March 11. The arrival of the- German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich at Newport News, re moving for a time at least another me nace to British shipping and the suc cess of British troops in the region of LaBassee claim chief attention in the British Isles. Whether the Prinz Ei tel will be interned or again will set out for )ligh seas, it is considered here that her career as an armed cruiser must come to an end, for should she be allowed to sail it is believed allied cruisers on the watch will account for her. The possible action of the Ameri can government with regard to the sinking of the American ship William P. Frye is being much discussed. The general view is that if the United States allows German warships to sink American ships with food sup plies for England that government hardly can protest agair-st the allies prohibtion of foodstuffs for Germany. j ITS EFFECT WORLD-WIDE The War Has Affected Industrial Con ditions in Every Country The Uni ted States Weathering the Storm Better Than Any and Unlimited Possibilities Opening. Washington Dispatch. Representative Cordell Hull of Tennessee, a member of the House ways and moans committee and au thor of the income tax provisions of the Underwood tariff act, in a special in the House defending the adminis tration, declared that the European war hu8 created for American finance, industry and commerce the "most un limited possibilities and opportunities over offered any country in all his tory." Every nation in the world, pointed out Mr. Hull, is sufferingfrom a ter rific business stagnation brought on by the war. The United States, he added, while suffering keenly, is rid ing the storm with stronger heart and greater courage than other coun tries and faces an opporunity for world's business on account of its varied manufacturing industries ' and unexcelled raw materials. "The United States is the great storehouse from which the warring as well as the peaceful countries must draw an immense portion of manu factures, foodstuffs and raw mate rials," said Mr. Hull. "To meet these unlimited requirements will tax the ability, energy and enterprise of the American people, and I have the ut most faith that the great body of our business men will throw off any lethargy they have acquired under the reign of special privilege and do their part toward making this country the centre of both the finance and com merce of the world. Under our existing financial and commercial conditions, business in practical ly every line is either gradually or rapidly improving and developing. Soon this improvement will be com plete, and permanent and boundless prosperity through this country will bless not only the American people but the world." Mr. Hull went into the business de vastation which the European war has wrought. "Little do many people, especial ly those in the peace countries, realize that we are passing through the most momentous epoch in the history of the human race." he declared. "A ma jority of the world's population of 1, 620,000,000 is already involved in a war. The wars of Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal and Napoleon wore but tri vial engagements when compared with the mighty European conflict. Today huge armies aggregating nearly 15, 000,000 men have been organized, equipped and are in battle array. This war has cost $8,500,000,000 during its first six months, or at the rate of $17, 000,000,000 a year. The human im agination cannot easily grasp the full meaning and scope of the conflict, much less its awful destructive ef fects." , Mr. Hull declarel the disastrous ef fects of the war are world-wide. He said the world's international trade aggregates $40,000,000,000, which has partially disappeared from the seas at the rate of $3,000,000,000 a month. Great Britain's exports have shown a loss of $475,000,000, and her imports a decrease of $355,000,000. The for eign trade of France, he added, dur ing the tirst four months of the war has shown a loss almost as appalling her trade with the United States drop, ping from $17,600,000 to $6,000,000 during the month of December, Ger many's, Austria's and Belgium's for eign trade had been wiped from the seas, and ol this trade, . he added, $500,000,000 was with the United States. "Take Canada, which is rieht at our very door," said Mr. Hull. "It af fords a typical illustration of the bus iness and industrial misfortunes brought on by the war. Her business failures for the year 1914 were more than double those of the preceeding! ear. Her exports decreased over 20,000,000 and her imports for the! 1 months show a loss of J6t.000.000. The building permits for only four cities show a shrinkage of over $29, 000,000. Mr. Hull then declared that the United States is weathering the world industrial depression better than anv other nation in the world. This coun-! try has suffered less, which is partial ly due to the country's new currency system, that has acted as a "shock absorber." i Other nations have been strucr- ?ling under this terrible war's ef ects," said Mr. Hull, "while the soundness of business conditions in this country and the long period of liquidation through which it has pass ed place the UnitH States in the best possible attitude to weather the Eu ropean war." - Mr. Hull entered into a defense of the Underwood tariff act, and declar ed that before the war began this measure had yielded revenue in excess of the ways and means committee's calculation. "The war," he added, "had struck a blow to the imports of this country and caused the condition of decreased customs receipts." "The war," he said in conclusion, "has constructed around this country a tariff wall higher than all the pro- (.i... n.:dr. u: i u l. mj vol ute Mil Ills l-UIUUltieU COU1Q DU1IQ Why, then, are we havinir the so-call ed hard times in certain lines of trades if the war hus nothing to do with our business conditions." j GREENSBORO MAN HEADS ' !

A short distance below Daniel's Church and looming up into conspic uous prominence since the recent ro moval of the timber just to the west of it, there stands a one story log house with historic interest and asso ciation unknown to the community at large. This building which has for many years occupied its present po sition on the land of Mr. L. A. Yoder and which was purchased by his fath er for storage purposes was used for a long time as the school house for the community. Practically all of the older people of the Daniel s neighbor hood received their early educational training in this old log house. It has helped to produce some of. the very best citizens of the county. Many of them have gotten on well in life with no education whatever beyond what was received within its wlls. It gave others who sought the more extensive training necessary for the profession al walks of life the impetos that led them on. At that time it stood just north of the present commodious brick building to which it gave place some thirty years ago. It had the usu al equipment of that day, the slab bench, the spacious fire place, and a good sized birch. This latter was used more effectively than now to quicken the pace of some tardy youngster along the pathway of knowledge. But the chief interest in this old building goes back of the period in which it was used for school purposes. It was originally the home of the first pastor of Daniel's church. This was Rev. David Honkle. His father, the Rev. Paul Henkle had occasionally vis ited the congregation in some of his missionary tours. His brother Philin had also given it such service aa his lervice aa nis' time and o a owed. The Vfi V,TJZt "enHMe V"?1:! was held August 14th, 1813 and ' hi Estate joined the S of thfrh ?r?h church. Mr '.Slo feTas de" Winter! ested in the woA of the contton and frequently represented it n synod- ical conventions. He was also promi-, nent and active in the general affairs of the i-nmmiinitv Hi.

The use of this tool is one of the lost arts and the tool itself is a relic of the past The site which the bride selected was on the unner edce of her fther' firm and near the head of a small stream running through what is now the land of Mrs. G. W. Rinck. The loca tion was pleasant and well situated, being on southern slope and near a good spring after the custom of that day. - The old spring is still in tart, but there is nothing to mark the site of the old house except some near by lobsters, trees planted in all probabil ity in Inter years. There is little about the landscape as it now appears to indicate that at that time it was under cultivation, yet-such was the case, there is no primitive timber anywhere in that vicinity. Every thing! bears the markings of second growth. These tall and vigorous oaks on either side of the road way were not even respectable snplings at that time, and some of them had not yet come into existence. And all along me stream irom tne old spring down through what is now the Seacle Dlace and on the mill creek there was a con tinuous stretch of meadow; and in tne nay making season the music of the whet rock and the sevthe anvil could have been heard up and down that stream.

It was here that all Mr. Henkel's published works were written. He made long and wearisome trips in looking after his pastoral duties, but he was never too tired to write.

He also wrote a defense of the Tennessee Py nod under the name of the Herald of Liberty.

Official dispatches today from the Brazilian minister in Mexico City re porting the affair to the state depart ment ,say the American flag was fioating over McManus's house and that his doors had been closed and sealed by the Brazilian consul.

American Flag Planted Over Home. The fact that the American flag had been hoisted over the house and the doors had been sealed by tne consul ot a neutral power was taken by the officials here to indicate that either McManus felt he was in danger or that all foreigners were fearful of their safety with the en try of the Zapata troops and took steps for protection.

An unwarranted attack made by Mr. Moore called for the writing of this book. The personal element did not enter into the discussion on either side, and it was conducted in a Chris tian spirit; but Mr. Henkel came for ward with such a masterly handling of his case that Mr. Moore did not ven ture to take up the matter again.

Ohio. Winchester and New Mr. ket, Virginia, and then home and all on horse back. Those men were men ol wonderful endurance. (To be continae&l THE CREAM SEPARATOR AS A WASTE REDUCER By G. F. Whitsett, International Harvester Company Of America Courtesy of Southwest Farmer. "The keynote of American life is waste." "The Americans watse enough to feed a nation." "If any country in Europe had as bounteous natural wealth, such limit less land area fit for cultivation and such unusual labor energy, it would be quickly transformed into prosper ity beyond dreams." These are the inscriminating words of the members of the Belgian Royal Commission on their recent tour of the United States. Are these state ments justified? However loyal we may be to Am erica, and however proud of her insti tutions, nevertheless we must admit that when it is a question of economy and efficiency, we are far behind tho European countries. There are a thousand leaks on the average farm through which the pro fit run. Too often it is like cutting and covering, turning a big furrow of which half is plowed. There is too much shortsightedness in our farming microscopic immed iate profits rathe- than mastodontic future one. Bulletin No. 186 of the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, issued in 1910. estimates that for the State of Virginia alone $2,- ZbU,vw is lost annually from failing to use cream separators on the farm in place of the shallow pan system. This, it estimates, will pay half the running expenses of the state govern ment, or would buy a $50 cream sepa rator for every dairy and stock farm in the state and still have on hand $100,000. Circular No. 103. issued hv the National Bureau of Animal Indus try, estimates that one-fourth of the dairy cows kept in this country do not pay for their keep, and that nearly one-fourth more do not yield a pro fit. Records of one hundred creamery Entrons, investigated by Hoard's dairyman, shows that one of them made $2.30 for every $1.00 invested in feed for his cow, while a neighbor sDlit even on his feed and another lost fifty cents, ah nad tne same sou and the same market. Thirty-eight out of, a hundred of these men kept cows at an actual loss. Thanks to the unceasine efforts of apostles of agricultural progress, the centrifugal cream separator 'is prac- : tically universal in its use on dairv farms. Such as have failed to make this change are merelv seeing throuch a glass darkly and will eventually be converted. There are other and auicklv bwccd- ing revolutions that must be made be fore the dairying business can be put upon a permantently profitable basis. The dairy farmer, or the keeper of cows, must learn to use his head in stead of his hands. Wasteful methods of feeding, expensive methods of rais ing and storing feed, unbalanced ra tions and expensive help, all must be dispensed with if the milch cow is to pay her way. the time will soon come when the dairy herd without the presence of silos, alfalfa fields, cream separators. corn binders, and ensilage cutters will be an anachronism. When this mechanic-scientific revo lution has made the harvesting and sale of butter fat profitable, the dairy ing industry will be a double advan tage to the farmer in view of the fact that dairying and stock raising are corner stones of farm improvements. They are directly opposed to the min ing system ot grain farming where the phosporous, protein, fat, etc., are taken out of the eround and carted away to market. By importing a very little feed, the soil of a given farm will not be depreciated in value, and by combining dairying with stock farming and importing considerable ' quantities of feed, the soil elements may be returned via a manure spread er and the soil continually kept in a highly productive condition.- - It is the time for all e-ood farmers to rally to the use of gray matter in their farming by substituting machine for muscle, scientific rations for hap hazard feeding, and stock and rota tion farming for the mining variety of farming. A farmer can- build up . his farm and his bank account at the same time. This will mean prosper ity for the people who are now turnine-" the cream separator and filling tho silos without robbing future genera tions. It is increase as opposed to usury-legitimate profit as opposed to robbery. Unless the sins of the fathers are to be visited upon their children unto the third and fourth generations, the pre sent occupants of the 6.000.000 forms of the United States must change as rapidly as possible from narrow to Droad guage-production. When this millennium of brain far ming rather than hand farming ar rives is it is scheduled sooner than some of us think it will be no longer possible for the foreign critics to ac cuse us of maladministration of our resources. Our people, sooner or lat er, will be forced to take this turn of their nffairs. and thev will nrohnhlv choose to do it before they are forced ' to. Such criticisms as "The keynote of American life is waste" will in that event no longer apply. misr.erl the tirtzti asking that the railroads entering that city be compelled to unite in a union passenger station. building at Salisbury designed for a military school offered the State for the School for the Blind, will be turned over to Kev.

In Goldesboro and vicinity there is an epidemic of robbery hold-ups. hogs, cattle and chickens stolen and residences and stores burglarized. In Goldsboro in one night, it is reported five stores were robbed and over 800 chickens stolen. One store was near ly emptied of its stock. J'
