Asked how the school children in the county districts were making it this winter, which has been rather severe, County Superintendent L. B. Beam, said, this is a remarkable school year with the Lincoln county schools. The average attendance has been fine. Interest on the part of parents and teachers has been unusually good. In many instances the schools of the county are taxed to the limit , and there is really a need for additional desks, but owing to the high prices prevailing, a surplus of desks had not been provided said the superin tendent, but this, it is hoped will be remedied. Ths county superintendent feels very much encouraged over the remarkable showing being made by the schools and he feels sure this is to be the best year's work with the county schools in the history of the county's public school system. PLANK ROAD PASSED HIS BOY HOOD HOME. "I am 50 years old and still live in the house in which I was born." said R. W. Todd of Paw Creek. "The old plank road which used to lead to Lin colnton passed right near my home. It was a good road, too, in its day. Of course wagons were about the onlv vehicles used 40 and 50 years ago . I remember ouite well back in my boy hood days that virtually everybody traveled horse-back or in wagons anil the early vehicles which looked some thing like our buggies of today were a novelty. My children often ask me if things didn't look queer in those days. I tell them they didn't look any more out of place than some of the popular things we have today will look out of place a generation from now." Char lotte News. Mrs. R. F. Hauss. Sec.

"Formerly cotton, corn and tobacco were the basis of prosperity in the eastern part of the state, but now monkey rum is the most profitable. Many of our leading church mem bers, wealthy men and political chiefs cater to bootleggers," he as serted. He blamed "incapable judges, bad laws and lack of public sen timent." Tonight Mr. Wheeler told how the law could be enforced, but reminded the faithful that they must be eter nally behind the law officers. "A great camnaign for law and order is the immediate challenge to the patriotic citizens of the state,'' he stated. Let the officers and citi zens who wink at violation of the law be taught that they are playing witli fire, he urged. "Votes will teac them.

Morganton News-Herald. So often a newspaper is crftised for not carrying this or that item of news or making mention of the visit ors in some home or some happen ing of news value when posibly the paper had no intimation of the event. So often we find that somebody has taken it for granted that someone else has reported the item that should have appeared. Just a short time ago a good woman who had recently moved away died in her new home, several of her friends attended the funeral and evidently those who knew of the death simply thought the newspaper would find out about it. The paper came out without it and afterwards several ask ed, 'Why didn't you say something about Mrs. A.'s death?" We couldn' know about it by intuition or by some strange secret power. This is told by way of example and to emphasize our desire to get all the news of the community. You can help us if you will. Won't you? GENUINE BullDurham TOBACCO Statesville Landmark. The resolution of Senator France of Maryland, proposing that all persons convicted under the espionage act be released from prison, naturally finds favor among the elemert which for any reason opposed the war or the measures to prosecute the war; and the German sympathizers and the aliens and their friends. Not a few good citizens, tdo, will be moved by the plea that seeing the war is over the folks who offended under the war time regulations should gg without further punishment. Possibly there were some convictions for tcachnical violations where clemency would not be amiss. But in case where active opposition was offered to the war, or to measures designed to prosecute the war, suspension of punishment would mean the promotion of disloyalty and the degrading of partriotism. It is not only disloyalty to the country's cause but it is dishonoring the men, living and dead, who fought for that cause, to excuse those who did what they could, no matter if insignificant ami unsuccessful!, to hamper our prosecu tion of the war and to give aid and comfort to the enemy.
