There are people in Lincolnton and Lincoln county who are looking for an investment, a Davinir investment. Of ten local capital is sent away for investment when there is worthy en terprises here at home that should be 1 , 1 Ti. encouraged Dy iocai capital, n ap pears that the Lincoln Creamery and Ice Cream Co. is a most worthy in stitution, a community builder, pay ing out hundreds of thousands of dol lars to farmers in this section annu ally. This concern is offering a lim ited amount of stock for sale pre ferred stock, that nays 7 per cent semi-annually, and is non-taxable, the equal of ten per cent on taxable stock. This enterprise should be encouraged by local capitalists. It is worthy of investigation, and deserves a push by local citizens. Mr. A. L. Maner representing the Southern Import and Export Corpora tion, who was here last week and ad dressed farmers, and business men on the work of this corporation, was in Shelby Friday and addressed a meet ing there of farmers, business men, and bankers, and encouraging reports were made of the meeting, the folks filling the courthouse. A good start was made towards securing Cleveland county's quota, 36 bales of cotton be ing pledged and others took stock. Like Lincoln, Cleveland will be canvassed for stock until the quota is reached. The south is being asked to subscribe a capital of ten million dollars to the corporation, and a splendid start has been made all over the south, the home of cotton. Republican senators, when they at tempt to put through the Fordney tar iff bill, met the democrats in head-on collision. The House of Representatives pleas antly surprised the country by voting against any increase in its member ship. The proposal to increase the present membership of 435 to 438 had nothing to commit and many sound reasons for rejection. The proposed increase would be no benefit whatever to the nation, but would cost it an ad ditional $1,500,000 a year to maintain. The House is already so large as to be unwieldy, and it is gratifying that its members had the good sense to veto the scheme to provide a few more places for office-seekers, whose absence from the capital will be no loss to the country. Uunversal disarmanent, it is hoped, will include the bandits. DEAD BY A BROTHER'S HAND Monroe Enquirer. At no other place on God's earth is peace, rest, happiness and content ment more exemplified that at a well ordered farm home on Saturday night when the week's work is done and cat tle and other stock have been driven to stall and shed fed and made com fortable for the night and the family in peace and contnient gathers around the fireside. But have you thought of the anxiety, the discontent, the unhapniness in certain homes in New Salem township last Saturday when the news went out that up at the country store there lay by the road side a man dead, a great hole in his breast where the death dealing shot had torn their way to his heart, aye, dead by a brother's hand? The fires of strife which ended in the awful tra gedy of that hour were not started in the heart of the ones who participat ed, but were started under an illicit still out younder in the woods. At the term of court which convenes here on the 31st of this month for the trial of criminal cases two men will be ar raigned for slaying a fellow man, aye, a Dromer wno nursed at the same breast, who cuddled in the same arms who prattled around the same knees GIRL BABIES FED TO WOLVES! A Union County Boy Writes of a Hor irble Sight That He Witnessed in Chefoo, China. Mineral Springs, Jan. 17. In a letter received here by his parents, Mr .and Mrs. Peter W. Plyer, Mr. Frank Plyer relates a horrible scene that he witnessed in Chefoo, Japan, while there on a furlough. It was hundred of bodies of Chinese girl babies thrown into a canon where, when he saw the place, they had been half-devoured by wolves. The part of China in now in the midst of a great famine, and the parents say that they are unable to procure food for all of their children, so they slay the girl babies. Mr. Plyer is stationed on the U. S. S. Albany, at Valdivostok , Russia. Since he enlisted in the navy in Au gust, 1019, he has made several trips to Japan, China, and the Phillippines. On his last trip to China, he was giv en a five-day furlough to visit Pekin, the capital of China. He is now spend ing his second winter in Siberia. Mr. Plyer's letter reads as follows: "We have been working for the past week, taking on coal and supplies. We were to leave here tomorrow but the Helena, the ship that was on her way to relieve us, lost one of her propellers in a storm and had to put in at Naga saik for repairs. So we may be here for some time. I was very much dis appointed for I am anxious to leave here. It is so cold now our decks can't be scrubbed. The water freezos as fast as it leaves the hose. "Everything is very unsettled here now. We are not allowed to go ashore after 5 p. m. The Valdivostok govern ment is expected to go bolshevik. If it does, the Japs are gong to take over the city and there is likely to be trouble. Sometimes I wish something would happen. It is so dull here. "Say, mama, you asked me to tell you something about these people. The greater part of China are illiterate They work hard but are dirty and fil thy. Every Chinese port we go to we will see Sampans, Chinese port boats, around the ship, picking up acraps of bread or anything else to eat. They fight to get to the slop chutes where we throw the scraps from our table. Of course, some of them are educated and wealthy. They are clean and dress like civilized peo ple. I say civilized, for the greater part of them are just in a state of semi-civilization. They have a greit fancy for bright colors and thi :r clothes sure look odd. In the middle and lower classes, the ladies (if you want to ca'l them that) wear pants and a kind of jacket. The men wear pants with enormous legs, the seat of them hanging to their knees. "Their homes are of all kinds ef wood, stone brick, mud, bamboo, reeds and rushes. In the interior the far mers live mostly in mud houses. If they had any tools some of them would be good farmers. "There is a lot of difference in the Japs and Chinese. On an average the Japs are much smaller than the Chinks and as a rule are much more educated and inclined to modern dres. Like the Chinks a lot of them worship idols. But to go back to Chinks, they have some of the most horrible ooi-. ing idols and some are fine specimens of ood carving and sculpturing. In some of the Budhist temples a Peking I saw some of their gods. They have a gcd for everything a god of love, of fie, of water, of war, of peace, and manv. manv others.

Europe frankly wishes the United States to become a member of the League of Nations, and is willing to accept any reasonable amendment that will bring us into membership, but Europe is very much disinclined to cast away substanee for a shadow, and will not scrap the present League at the mere behest of Republican politicians, whose chief concern it to save their faces.

They may strike out the first word of the title and su! stitute "Association" and they may make some more changes of more or less consequence to gratify the Re publican politicians who cannot for give President Wilson for being a Democrat. But Europe is not going to scrap the League for the glorifica tion of the bitter-enders and America is not going to flock all by itself in opposition and antagonism ' to all the balance of the civilized world.

Wonderful Story Written by Frances ' Marion Soon to Be Here Frances Marion's original story, "The Love Light,'' in which Mary Pickford will be seen at the Bijou Theatre on Friday Jan. 28th is not only a unique departure in the line of story for the "World's Sweet heart," but a gripping drama of un usal interest. Briefly the story is as follows: Angela Carlotti presides over the house of her two orphaned brothers, Antonia and Mario, in a little fishing village bordering on the Mediterran ean in Northern Italy . Antonio and Mario spend their days fishine off the lighthouse, Angela caring for the little stone house, the barnyard and gardens. They are all younsr. and bov- like, the brothers slip as much of the work as possible upon the apparently tireless shoulders of Ansrela. Thev have only to remark that a certain job is too hard for any woman and Angela flies at it and labors alonor while they recline in the shade, aud ibly marveling at her strenirth and cleverness. Angela is being courted bv Giovan ni Novella who is held in contempt by the fisher folk because instead of handling the nets and row boats, he Taises flowers for the perfume mar ket of Genoa. In times Antonio joins the army of his country and a little later Mario also enlists. Giovanni is still at home and Angela voices her contempt at his apparent lack of pa triotism; this decides for Giovanni that he should go, and he returns blinded. During his absence Angela cares for his gardens and also takes the lighthouse keeper's place. One day Angela comes upon the uncon scious form of a sailor, a big hand some, foreigner, who claims to have ; deserted his ship. Angela falls in love j with him and they are married. A (little later she hears of the death of her two brothers. How the stranger prove to be anv enemy of Angela's country, and how Angela sacrifices everything in order to protect not only her neighbors but her enemies, i.i presented in a series of startling and gripping situations which naturally must be seen to be appreciated. Miss Pickford has surrounded her self with a splended cast, the major ity of the principal players having been selected by Miss Pickord and Miss Marion, her director, while in Europe, where many of the properties were also secured. The production is lavish in its set tings and the wonderful photography is credited to Charles Rosher who has photopraphed most of Miss Pickford'a recent pictures. Stephen Gooson, noted art director, is responsible for the reproduction of the Italian village and" beautiful interiors. "The Love Light" will be at the Bijou Treatre, on Friday, Jan. 28.
