' "THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1921 Some statesmen are interested in what, rather than when, we get out of the Philippines. broken pledges. But where is the ad ditional revenue to come from, since expenditures are to increase rather than diminish? LONG SHOALS ITEMS. Suddereth and Clark Downs were BARBER POUND DEAD; The effort now is to Shift rather j day, ail reported a nice time. Russia's Bolshevist leaders stand on the edge of a precipiece and before long somebody is going to push them over. Who says the Fordhey tariff bill was not framed in the people's inter est, Doesn't it reduce the duty from fifty to forty per cent ad valorem on such a daily household necessity as poker chips? The greatest war in the history of the world was brought to a victorious conclusion during 13 months of the Wilson administration. At the present rate of progress will a Republican administration be able to conclude a treaty of peace in 18 years? "Mean" temperature, as we under stand it. is when the thermometer climbs to ninety-five in the shade. The Ku Klux Klan has been disband ed in North Carolina by Bruce Craven the head of this secret order accord ing to a statement made public by that official. Greensboro and High Point are said to have charters of the Klan and that efforts were being made by organization to place char ters of the order in other town in the state. than lift the burden of taxation. And all the schemes proposed are about as popular as a bill collector at a clam bake. None has elecited a greater storm of disapproval than the pro posed federal tax on automobiles. A million flivver drivers, already groaning under state and local taxes and burdensome upkeep, are ready to protest that the automobile is not a luxury but an expensive necessity, and that the poor man's modest car has been made the goat of taxation to the extreme limit bearable. Whereever the "best minds" turn they meet a cool reception and a ready reminder that taxes were to be reduced instead of increased, accord ing to their campaign pledges. The 'best minds'" will find the public a lot less gullible next year than it was st, and broken campaign pledges will not be easily explained away in the congressional election of 1922. Quite a number of people from this slightly injured yesterday afternoon section attended the reunion at the when their automobile turned off the home of Mr. J. D.

A special election has been called to be held in Shelby Saturday August 20 on the question of paying Mayor T.

Tfinstnn Free Press: "We dont know anything about Ku Klux Klan nfliiolHnm, Rut whether Bruce was Grand Dragon or was merely suffer ing from hallucination, he has cer tainlv stirred them up. He hit high and low and is drawing responses for them all." Although Major Craven wrote an interview of about five columns for the Greensboro News, not a line letter or comma of which we missed he found that he had not said it all and comes back again occasionally with some more dope on the Ku Klux Klan. The major's "expose"' mark him as a frank sort of man, but doesn't it rather disqualify him for a judge over Israel? Hickory Be cord. Miss Alda Spencer spent Saturday night with Miss Violet Friday.

The counties that made big cuts in tax values as fixed under the revalu ation law are now forced to boost the tax rate. Vance county, for example cut assessed values about 33 1-3 per cent, and the tax rate is boosted from 62 1-2 to 93 1-2. It's all a matter of taste whether one prefers a high assessment and a low rato or a low assessment and a high rate provide there is equality in assessment. There's the rub. The reduction was mainly on real estate and the purpose is to get back to the old system of as sessing land at a small percentage of its value, which other property is as sessed at a higher rate or a full val ue. And this system is for the benefit of owners of real estate, giving this class a special privilege flr others. This might be endured while fU jus tice would be denied if the benefits went only to that class of our agri cultural population who have actual ly suffered as a result of economic de pression. But they get a very email part of it. Wealthy real estate own ers in town- and country are the chief beneficiaries. Statesville Landmark. Charlotte Observer. The business between the United States and Germany seems to be rap- dly eetting back to the pre-war basis, and so far as the German demand for raw cotton is concerned, this appears to be particularly true. So far during the present year and the big rail months' demand is yet to come Ger many has bought $104,000,000 worth of our cotton. These figures may surprise, but they are supplied by so good an authority as the National City Bank, of New York, whose state ment goes further to say that the quantity of cotton sent to Germany during the past 12 months is greater than to any other country in the world, except the United Kingdom. It totals 576,000,000 pounds, against 210,000,000 pounds in 1920. The National City Bank's statement goes into general details of the Ger man trade with the United States, and it adds, as one "especially inter esting point," that in this quick re turn to Germany to her former trade habits with us in the growth in our exports to that country, while to practically al' other countries exports show a big decline in the clos'rg mouths of the year under considera tion. The total exports to Germany in June, 1J21, were "in round tes $31,000,000 against $"0,000,000 in June of last year, an increase of over 50 per cent, while to Europe as a whole the June exports are 40 per cent below those of the same month of last year. In our imports from Germany, adds the hanks's statement, the tendency to return to pre-war conditions has been less strongly marked, the total imports from Germany in the fis :al year just ended having been but 491. 000.000 as aaa'uul $190,000,000 ;n 1914, while for the very latest month June, the total $7,000,000, is slightly lass than in June of last year when it stood at 8 1-2 million dollars. The 1921 imports from Germany fo'iow along lines similar to those prior to the war, including gloves, decoritod china, laces and embroideries, fertili zers, chemicals, toys and Hmi'.ed quantities of coiors and dyes, though much less in quantity and value than prior to the war. COL. NOLAN DEFENDS THE KU KLUX KLANS High Point, Special to The Obser ver. Aug 10. Principles of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan were defended by Col J. Q. Nolan, of Atlanta, in an address before several hundred members of ths local klan here last night, High Point newspaper men accepted an road about a hundred yards beyond the concrete house on the Jones hill, John Suddereth, who was driving, and Miss Barber were more serious ly hurt than anw of the other occu pants.

LIMESTONE FOR COURT HOUSE WALL The New Lincolnton Courthouse building wall is to be composed of limestone is the decision of the Coun ty Commissioners. The board made this dicision at their meeting held last Monday in this city. At that time the board let the contract for the limestone and price named in the con tract for this stone is understood to be in round numbers $63,000, and the de livery of the stone will begin within three weeks. The work is being delayed on the building this week waiting for a car load of granite from Mt. Airy. The first six feet of the courthouse wall is to be composed of granite, limestone being used for the balance of the wall. Some date in September it is ex pected to lay the cornor stone, how ever, no definit time has been set as yet. The County Commissioners have invited the Masonic order to take charge of the cornerstone laying cere monies, and committees have already been named to work out plans as soon as the date can be determined. Grand Lodge officers of the state are expect ed to be here for the corner ston ceremonies, and the occasion will be one of interest not only to Lincoln invitation to attend the meeting and County but also throughout this sec- lea rn something of the activities of .tion of the state the organization here. .

SYDNEY KINCAID TOOK DRINK TOO MANY ONE Killed In e Craven's interview of last week, but declared that it would have been violation of the constitution of the order to have commissioned a grand dragon in North Carolina in view of the fact that the constitution per mits the commissioning of such an officer only after 40 klans are in operation. At the present there are not 40 organizations, he said. That statement was a follow-up of the . declaration made by Craven that he had been grand dragon bnt gave up the omee. The state organizer admitted that a temporary or tentative grand dragon is necessary in the earily days of ah organization, but said there was much difference between a tem porary officer and one actually pos sessing a commisssion. Btantly. Gastonia, Aug. 10.-J. D. White, i'l 'illint III CHlKCIl Ul uu&iunia auw wiv Morganton News-Herald. It is said that at the July meeting of the Board of Burke County Conii missioners, when the jury list for tin August term of court was drawn, the commissioners were discussing the costs of courts and that Sidney Kin caid, then a member but now in jail on the charge of murdering his wife remarked that at any rate there was no big murder trial to add to the coun ty's expense. Little did he think then that he would be tried for his life be fore that court and on the grave charge of wife murder. Rum chang ed him from a respected county citizen to a criminal before the bar of jus tice. Like all other men Who tamper with the stuff he thought he woul 1 drink a little now and then and that no one would know anything about it. To his everlasting sorrow Sidney Kincaid took one drink to many. He can never get away from the memory of the consequences of that drink. Leonard Bros. MAKE OUR STORE YOUR STORE LINCOLNTON, N. C. SENATE VOTES CONFIRMATION OF F. A. LINNEY H. E. C. Bryant in Charlotte Observer Washington, Aug. 10. The nomin ation of Frank A. Linney .republican state chairman of North Carolina, to be federal attorney for the western North Carolina district, was confirm ed late today by the senate, after op position had been voiced over his position on the question of negro vot ing, The vote was said to have been 31 to 17. Nine republicans and eight dem ocrats voted against him, while 29 republicans and two democrats vot ed for him. There was a general mix-up and confusion over the vote It had been announced by some one that a vote would not be taken to day, and many democrats left. FAILURE OF "BEST MINDS" The "best minds" are in terrible quandary. Adding his note of warn ing to that of Senator Penrose Sec retary of the Treasury Mellon declar es flat-footedly that there can be no tax reduction by the present Congress. Rather says the chief of the na tion's finances, taxes must be in increased $255,000,000- annually if the government meets all its expenditures during the present fiscal yeai. During the late presidential cam paign the "best minds" made the well known welkin ring with their charges of extravagance and incompetence against the Democratic administra tion. Elect Harding and a Republican Congress, they bawled from a thous and platforms, and taxes will be re duced and government expenditures put back on a pre-war basis, i But, alas, instead of the cost of government being reduced, expenses for July, 1921 were $15,000,000 more than in July i920. The "best minds" are running the government at great er cost to the taxpayers than the in efficient Democrat did. And what is to be done about it? That is the question that bothers the "best minds,'' and for which they are unable to find a satisfactory answer. Plainly, from the declarations of ad ministration heads and members of Congress close to them, it is useless to attempt to cut expenditures with out impairing governmental effi ciency or evading governmental ob- of the leading cotton manufacturers of Gaston county.'Vas killed instantly tonight about 9 o'clock in an automo bile accident at Landrum, S.

Motor Efficiency vs. Gasoline Efficiency Why the Standard Oil Company (New Jersey) Maintains a Great Experimental Department III Jll tal THERE ii a point beyond which the efficiency of a motor car or truck cannot he guaranteed by its manufac turer. Thousand dollar cars have been known to render longer and more satisfactory service than others which were valued at two or three times as much. Mechanically your "job" was per fect when it came to you from the factory. The best of materials, com mensurate with the price of the car, were used in its construction. The car was as nearly ready for efficient service as the manufacturers could make it. How do you select Motor Fuel? From this point the responsibility for efficient operation of your motor lies largely with you (who must select and purchase fuel and lubricants) and with the refiner. Your task is to find a consistently good gasoline, adjust your carburetor to it, and use no other. Our work is to see that this gasoline is constantly up to standard ; to make sure that you can get it wherever your business or pleasure takes you in the field served by the Standard Oil Co. (N. J.); to improve it when possible through the efforts of specialists iu our Develop ment Department.
