In a communication unusual in gravity of expression the Japanese government, through Ambassadoi Henihara, reiterated its formal rpro test against the exclusion of that country from nations entitled to a definite (juota and warned of “the grave consequences'’ which enact ment of the measure “would inevi. tably bring.” The Japanese note, conveyed in - letter to Secretary Hughes and trans Colt of the senate immigration com mittee, gave for the first time in con crete form the terms of the gentle men’s agreement of 1907, asserted "ft rmally that Japan had schupulously observed that covenant, and declared the very honor of the Japanese gov. eminent was being attacked by those who contended to the contrary. “To Japan the question is not one of expediency, but of principle,” Am bassador Hanihara said. “The import ant question is whether lapan as a nation is or is not entitled to the proper respect and consideraiion of other nations.” JUST WHY LEAKSYJLLE_QP. POSES FISHING CREEK BRIDGE The main and only thing is that the bridge will probably be the cause of a few people passing Spray ant. not seeing the beautiful city of Leaks ville but what will the result be: h less than ten years the bridge will bring enough business to Rockingham county to pay tenfold the amount of taxes that Leaksville has ever paid. Mr. Mebane has fought a good figh‘ for the county, in my opinion in this project, and we all know well that he has brought everything to Leaks viilc township that she has. If the people see that a thing will profit hirn, why try to stop him when we | all know well that if he can build » town and connect ^Draper, Spray and t ea 'SVtlle max 'me ceromy wm ue, worth several million more than at the present time. I believe that if the people eould see the bright side of this proposed deal, that they would be willing to chip in and pay for the bridge and then asphalt the road from McBrides Store to the bridge. I believe that it world pay every citizen in the coun ty to give $5.00 to this project. GEO. L. GLASS NE’-V SOUTHERN TRACKS TO EXPEDITE TRAFFIC W ashington.
