'ton X i XVi liV If 'k. J f - ft i. k i -On ESTABLISHED IS76 LINCOLNTON, N. C, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 25. 1920. FIVE CENTS PER COPI $2 per yer 1 Two Miles Hard Surface Road For Lincoln County Commissioners Secure Gov ernment and State Aid For Two Miles of Hard Surface Road Lead in From Lincolnton East to Good sonville. The Lincoln 'County Commissioners have stumbled on the good fortune of securing State and National Aid for two miles of hardsurface road. The national government pays one half of the expense of this two miles, the State Highway Commission one fourth leaving the County one fourth to pay in order to secure the three fourths. The proposed road begins at Lin colnton and runs east to Goodsonville, and the total cost estimated, is $60, 000, or in other words $30,000 per '." mile. ' 1 " . Chairman Troutman received the nrnnnsit.ion from the State Commis sion for this two miles of permanent road, with the offer of government aid, and he immediately called the board and the commissioners lost no time in passing an order guaranteeing the county's part of the $60,000,which is $15,000-, and the matter is now set tled as far as the moneys is concerned. The next move is to get the work done and the County Capital will then be connected up with one of its growing suburban sections, leading by the new Boger end Crawford mills, and the county home, and Goodsonville, which place is putting on airs, and building ud as fast as any part of the county". The state highway, had considered the proposition of aid in rebuilding ' the sandclay also, but after careful investigation cf the travel over this road, it was thought that nothing but a hardsurface road would stand the strain, and with this idea the county commissioners were in full cccord. ; When this stretch of hard surface road is finished and its advantages aTe seen, it will mean more of the same kind in this county, until we are connected up with every county seat in adjoining counties. Permanent roads are coming just like woman's suffrage. The present day" traffic de mands it, and the people seem willing to pay down the cash if they may have them. It will of course take years to get a road in all directions, but the good work has begun. - The county commissioners in secur ing government aid and providing the county's fourth, are to be commended, for it one of the most forward looking movements in the entire history of the county. It is the thine to do, ac enrdinc to the averate citizen, when anvbodv offers to pay one fourth of the cost of an improvement, take them up before they back out. When any body offers three dollars for one dol lar expended take it. take it. And by the way ought not this county be plac ed in the position to take advantage of government aid for permanent t ads as fast as it becomes available. It will of course mean more taxes to pay, but permanent roads will make Lincoln county one of the most pros . pcrous sections on earth. , AMERICANS IN LEIPSIC FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES Coblenza. March 18. Two hun dred Americans who have been at tending the fair at Leipsic have tel egraphed and telephoned Major uen eral H. T. Allen commanding the American armv of occupation, urgen tly asking for help to leave Leipsic where they describe conditions as dangerous to their lives. General Al len is sending a special train to bring them awav. , General Allen has received about fifty messages of distress,- indicating . that the situation has grown consid erably worse during the -last 48 hours. The train probably will start for Leipsic tomorrow. There has been some delay in getting a satisfactory train together, owing to the shortage ot rolling stock. MORE HARD WORK IS HIGH PRICE REMEDY "There will be no relief from high Iirices until more of the people stop ooking for easy jobs and get down ii the hard work of production," said Mr - Joseph John Allen, the famous speller or itaniuin county.

To test me she gave me the word phalanx. "Why, lady," I said, "it is unfair to you to give me a word like that' and " " I spelled It and told her the exact page and the place on the page where she found it. She gave me some more words and 2 also spelled them and told her the page and the place on the page where they were. She didn't understand it. My three-year old grandson at Louisburg is spelling words in three syllables. I am a bit uneasy about these at Spartan burg.

The public at large is beginning-to learn that the new democratic peace time army is an entirely different pro position trom the old army. The new general; educational and vocational schools at army posts are intended to so improve the soldier mentally that should he leave the service, he will be able to earn good wages or a good salary. Gone are the days when an old soldier who has received his discharge turns to the army again in despair af ter a fruitless search. for employment. Gone are the days when a soldier was rendered virtually helpless to earn a good living in civil life by reason of receiving instruction along technical arm" lines only. After a period of service in the new army a discharged soldier will be able to walk into a man's office nnd say "I can do your bookkeeping for you, or 1 can be your stenographer, or l can direct the repair work in your garage, what will by starting salary be"? The good wishes of all our citizens go with the new democratic peace time army. ZION NEWS. We are very sorry to say that Mrs, Polly Huss, ''who is very ill is no bet ter. . !!

Begin, with the purpose of get ting better acquainted with the hnok as a whole. Do not try to compare it with the other gospels. Concentrate upon this one book. 2, Read chanter one. If von ran do so conveniently, read it aloud. Try 4. .1 ii t - lu uu tms as tnougn you nad never read it before. Make a special effort to see each scene described. Follow this plan with every chapter. : 3. Choose a name for each chanter as you proceed, selecting some word ur expression dv wnicn you can re call it, and which will distinguish.it form other chapters.. 4. as you begin chapter two take a moment to review chapter one. Then consider, as you read, what the situation is in chapter two as com pared with chapter one. Are the per sons thg same ? Is the spirit the same : what is happening . in con nection with Jesus ? Compare in this way every chapter with those which precede 5. Let the studv of .Testis TTimsplf be the chief point in all of your work upon me dook. Think ot Mark as giving us a portrait of Him. How is He described .' Keep In mmd such questions as these: Where is He? With whom is He in contact? Chiefly with crowds? Or with individuals? What is His atti tude? Do you find friendliness develop ing? Does unfriendliness develop? If so why? Make a little list, following your study of each chapter of the charac teristics of Jesus.

" . U ..feULU.' IN MEMORIAM. . The subject of this sketch, Clyde Ezra Blackburn, fifth child of John V. Blackburn and Mary Anthony Black burn, was horn the 31 a-, ilsv nf .Tulu - . - - . J ' 1 isye, and, was, therefore, at the time , of his death, 12 March 1920, twenty three years, seven months and eleven days of age. As a child, Clyde was bright and energetic fulfilling the fondest de sires of his parents that he would grow into a strong man. But these were soon blighted. When a child of four, having gone with his father to a new ground where, one bright spring day, the latter was piling and burning brush, and having separated himself a little way from his father, Clyde fell into a small heap of burn ing brush. . The little boy was seri ously burned about the spine and hip3 before he could be rescued from the flames. , He was treated by local phy sicians and for several years his par ents and friends thought that Clyde would "out grow" the injuries re ceived by the accident. But their hones were not to be realized. When Clyde was but ten he bee-an to have convulsions and later became u senu-epueptic. At times he ap peared to be mentally normal; at oth ers his mind wandered considerably. Much of the time he was ohvsicallv unable to perform any manual labor tnougn when at home he generally tried to make a hand on the farm. In early life Clyde was converted and became a member of the Baptist church at Bethel. Here, adjoining the church property is the Hickory Grove school which Clyde attended until oth he and his parents discovered that his physicial condition did not permit him to artply himself for any considerable time.. Later, together with his parents, Clyde connected himself with Lincolnton Baptist church of whifh he was a member un til his death. His remains lie in the old family grave-yard at Bethel where his childhood days wore spent among his playmates and where as a boy he at tended church and Sunday school re gularly. Un account of timidity caused by his physicial and mental condition of which Clyde was fully aware, he seldom attended church at Lincolnton. The writer of this sketch fully believ es now that Clyde understood his con- ition better than did anv one else his own folks not excepted. . Un doubtedly he knew t3iat sbmet'hing awful was wrong with his nervous system, nor is there any doubt that he sultered untold agonies in trying to overcome the malady which so affect ed his spine and nerves that he of ten lost complete control of himself, On Tuesday, March the 9th, becom ing1 violently ill with a pain in the head'Which threw- him into convul- sioMf iClydt iimea.iBpatejjtly realizod that the end was near and that his sufferines were about over. He begged to be loosed that he might tro hence in peace. His request was granted. The gentle hand of Him who healed the Gardarene touched .Clyde and he quietly fell asleep, Clyde Blackburn s parents and the entire family did all that was human ly possible to do to relieve him of the disease from which he was almost a constant sufferer. He was treated by skillful physicians both at home and in other Mates, but without avail. Left to mourn his departure are his parents, already named; 4 brothers, W. Beverly Blackburn and J. H. Blackburn of Charlotte, Norcum Blackburn, of Lyman, Wyoming, and D. Blackburn of Lincolnton. also one sister, Mrs. Leila Blackburn Aitken wife of Mr. John Aitken of Charlotte, N. C.

(By Recruiting Publicity Man) North Carolina is one of the five states in which it is proposed to es tablish agricultural and animal hus bandry courses in connection with vocational schools at army camps, hc- cording to an announcement by the war department. Camp Bragg will be one of the camps and the othera will be Camp Jackson, S. C. Camp Gordon and Benning in Georgia.Camp Pike, Arkansas, and Camp Lee in Vir ginia. An army school that will teach en listed men how to raise cows, pigs. and chickens and train them in the general duties of farm management is to be started at Charleston, S. C, as an experimental station, under the direction of l)r. E. M. Kanck, expert in animal husbandry, who will act -in the capacity of civilian adviser to the commanding general of the south eastern department. Doctor Itanck is known throughout the southeastern states as a former state veterinarian of Mississippi and was an important factor in the eredication of the tick in that state. Doctor Ranck, who has done some work alonp this lino in army camps in the middle west, says that many men , unable" to pass the entrace re quirements for college or unable to pay the expenses of a college course are enlisting in the army to obtain vocational training alonfr special ag ricultural lines. He believes inthenear future appropriations will be made available for the extencion of these courses in the " southeastern states. According to present plans live stock will be purchases for the schools by experts and each camp will have a small herd of good dairy cattle, pure bred hogs, sheep beef cattle and stands of bees. The soldiers who un dertakes this work will be trained : both by lectures and by 'practical work. Doctor Ranck says it is diffi cult for the average man to conceive the snappy soldier of the drill ground interested in pigs but that in the mid dle western camps intense interest attends a "hog-killing."
