MRS. D. A. COVINGTON. Xews ami Views From the Alert Win Rate Correspondent. Correspondence of The Journal. Wingate. July 30. Mr. Vascar Smith, the veil puncher, has just completed the Job of sinking a veil nearly fifty feet in solid blue flint rock for Mr. Robert Caddy, according to Mr. Smith's estimate will yield 100 gallons per day of pure, cool, crystal clear water. What a delight ful blessing to have such a fountain these days when the mercury is con stantly threatening to climb out at the top of the tube. Masters Hugh and Blair Pressley returned Monday from a week's visit among relatives in Charlotte. These boys are hustlers and richly deserve such an outing, which they are given every summer after the strenuous season on the farm Is over. Such va cations, besides the pleasure they af ford, are quite a source of Informa tion and education to these splendid young fellows. There should be more of such boys and such outings. During the thunder storm whic passed over this vicinity Tuesday af ternoon, lightning struck a telephone pole near the residence of Mr. S. A. Williams and ran Into the building. The only damage done, however, was the blackening of the celling adjacent to the entrance of the bolt. Mrs. J. T. Little of Lanes Creek is visiting the family of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Outen, brother and sister-in-law, of Wingate. Mr. B. A. Evens went to Washing ton City Sunday to have his new arti ficial limb better fitted and adjusted so as to render the wearing of it more comfortable. Messrs. 'Arthur Edgeworth and Emsley Fletcher of. Monroe visited friends In Wingate Sunday. Miss Eula Phifer of Lanes Creek and Miss Mattie Hargett of Unlonville are visiting their aunt, Mrs. Ada Har gett, of Wingate. Mr. Edgar Griffin is building a nice cottage on North Main street. Mr. Griffin hopes to have his new house ready for occupancy at an ear ly date. Miss Nell Hefner has just returned homp after a three weeks' sojourn among friends in Charlotte. Miss Evelyn Price spent a few days with the family of Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Jerome. What capers the mercury cuts! The 26th up to 104, the 29th and 30th down to 60; making us "razor backs" and old "plugs" hunt up our coats. So the admonition to "keep cool" Is not in order now. Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Austin and Mr. and Mrs. Blair Blvens and children of Monroe spent the first of the week with relatives in upper Anson and lower Union counties. Miss Annie Griffin and Mrs. Mattie McKennon of Charlotte are visitors for a few days at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Austin of Wingate. Rev. R. M. Hagler visited the home of his father, near Mint Hill, Sun day. The Marshvllle and Wingate ball teams played on the Wingate dia mond Wednesday .afternoon. Re sult: 9 to 6 in favor of Marshvllle. On behalf of the Wingate folks, your correspondent will venture the endorsement of every line of Esq. La neys article on "Good crowds and clean campaign," Certainly no clean man can object to a single suggestion of the Esqr's. Then the time has come when the attitude of candidate and voter needs readjustment, so that all may meet and openly and frankly and honestly and sincerely' discuss the problems that canfront us in our eflorts for better conditions and things. ' The writer of these paragraphs wishes to sincerely thank his friends for their kind help In making up our news letter. Being too feeble to get out among the folks it proves quite helpful and Is highly appreciated. Es pecially is he grateful to the young people for their contributions. They seem more Interested than the older heads. To be sure everybody In the town should be willing to lend a hand in helping along the cause, both by. their contributions in little items and in teresting news notes and by subscrib ing for and reading the Journal which comes twice a week with eight pages of good solid reading matter at a cost of only one dollar a year. Win gate la the only town In the county which has no newspaper of its own, but by a little co-operation and at a very small cost can have something Just as good. The Journal gives us all the county, State and National news, and a lot of other good read ing, besides being a splendid adver tising medium which should be used more by our business people. So thinks O. P. TIM 1ST. The Evidence Conclusive The Detroit News tells of this dia logue: The court You make grave char ges against your husband, Madame, in your bill for divorce. The wife 1 can prove them all your honor. The court You have absolute proof? The wife I have. The court What is the nature of your proof?

Th war scare has created such a disturbance in the cotton market that the exchanges both In New York and New OrU-ans closed tills morning. The Xcw York Exchange was or dered chwt-d till next Tuesday. The New Orleans Exchange was ordered closed Indefinitely. CAPTURED SERVIAN CITY. Austriaiis Have Crossed Boundary Kiver and Hold Ht'lerade English (ietting Ready (iermany and Rus. sia Key to Situation. London Dispatch July 31st. Early this morning comes news that the German Cabinet, presided over by the Emperor, sat at Potsdam until midnight and that a censorship over the telegraph lines is being im posed at Berlin. This is Interpreted here as imply ing preparations for German mobili zation, and a few hours will probably decide whether Europe is to be in volved In universal warfare. It is fully expected both in London and Berlin that the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergius Sazonoff, will reply to Germany's demand for an explana tion to the effect that the Russian mobilization has already been order ed and cannot be cancelled. In the event of Germany mobiliz ing it is expected that Premier As quith immediately will ask Parlia ment to sanction a large vote of cred it as a necessary precaution. BRITISH NAVY READY. The British Navy is prepared for war at a moment's notice and the British Army is quietly and swiftly preparing. The war office throws cold water on the word "mobiliza tion," and has issued another careful ly framed notice to the newspapers that only "the usual precautions" are being taken. With the exception of official re ports from Vienna in the briefest form and thus far dealing with the bombardment of Belgrade and the capture of several Servian vessels on the Danube, little reliable news has been received in London concerning the course of hostilities In the Austro Servlan War. Numerous reports are current that battles are In progress at various points, Including one report from Milan that a heavy engagement is raging south of Belgrade tonight. Later dispatches say: While the news of the actual de velopments In the Austro-Servlan War is unsatisfactory the general sit uation Is one of growing menace. There is a vague report that Austria and Russia are still engaged In dip lomatic negotiations through the me dium of Berlin, direct diplomatic In tercourse between Austria and Rus sia having been suspended, but slen der hopes are entertained of success in this direction. "The occupation of Belgrade was carried out without serious difficulty. The invading troops crossed the river, partly by means of the remnants of the railway bridge which was blown up by the Servians and partly by a pontoon bridge constructed under its cover, and approached the Servian Capital from the South. The attack ing forces advanced by a steep hill, driving the Servians before them. The Servians retreated, partly along the road leading to Groca and partly to ward Popovich. The losses on both sides appeared to have been light. "The Invasion of Servla at Semen dria was a much more difficult task. The Austrians at night built a pon toon bridge from the Island in the middle of the Danube where the channel narrows to 200 yards and the current is swift. The building of the bridge was perceived from the Servian shore and the Servians open ed fire. The attacking force was aid ed by artillery and infantry along the south shore of the island and suc ceeded in completing the bridge over which they passed." Dubious Axlogy. A young practitioner appeared be fore a pompous judge who took of fense at a remark the lawyer made criticising his decision, according to the New York Press. "It you do not instantly apologize for that remnrk," said the Judge, "I shall commit you for contempt of court." "Upon reflection, your honor," In stantly replied the young attorney," I find that your honor was right and I was wrong, as your honor always is." The Judge look dubious, but finally said that he would accept the apology. To the Democratic Voters of Union County: On account of being a witness in a number of cases in the Superior Court and other official duties that requires my attention, I will be una ble to go to all the places during the county canvass. I want all my friends to remember me at the primary Saturday, 15th of August, 1914, for Recorder. M. L. FLOW. Miss Mary Reddish and her moth er, Mrs. Reddish of Neuse, are visit ing Mrs. C. F. Scholar. WAR SCARE HITS COTTOX. Also Other Lines of Business, Even Wheat Which First Shot Up in Prii-e Markets of the World Indi cate the General Iiastcr That War Would Bring. Austria declared war on Servla Tuesday and there has been some fighting. But the most telling events pending actual hostilities by the great European powers are the happenings on the markets and exchanges of the countries. On Wednesday wheat went up nine cents a bushel, but dropped three cents yesterday. After a rise of nine cents a bushel, values shrunk as much as three cents In 30 minutes, largely on account of bold assertions that the bulk of the surplus crop of the United States, instead of being rushed to Europe, might be held in this country as a result of general war disrupting all ocean trade. But the most serious thing for the south is the prospect of a ruined cot ton market in case of war. The fear was reflected yesterday on all mar kets. In New York cotton broke $3.50 to 3.00 a bale yesterday in one of the most sensational markets since the Sully campaign. In two months the price has declined $8 to $12 per bale. The collapse was due to the fact that in the event of a general European war, domestic markets would have to absorb and finance the most of this year's cotton crop. War was not declared until after the bourses of Europe had closed on Tuesday, but in London, Berlin and Paris, panicky conditions and severe declines In securities anticipated the announcement. At all three capitals, bonds of European governments which had been dropping steadily, registered further losses. In Vienna the bourse had been closed since Saturday, but there was a heavy run on the Austrian Savings bank, the most important In the dual monarchy. In Paris the Commercial Exchange suspended all dealings in grain, su gar and other commodities and ex change on London and private dis count for the first time in years was quoted. In Berlin, runs on savings banks, begun yesterday, grew heavier. In London, after the close of the Mock market, stocks tumbled. on the curb. News of the declaration reached this country while markets were In session. With it came an avalanche of foreign selling on the New York stock exchange. Leading securities slumped from1 5 to 20 points and con ditions paralleled In their intensity the domestic panic of 1907. Stock exchanges of Montreal and Toronto suspended their seslons. What a European War Would Mean. Columbia State. Civilization's one hope In the event of a general European war will rest on its merciful intensity. In case the Triple Alliance and the Triple Enten te should come to the grapple, with the Balkan nations thrown iu for good measure, the tramp of march ing men would be measured In mul titudes such as the world has never seen before. It is inconceivable that any but a small proportion of the men in the field could become engaged, or that human endurance could stand more than two or three pitched bat tles such as would be likely to follow general hostilities of such a descrip tion. Let us capitulate the war foot ing of the various nations concerned: Triple Alliance Austria 820.000 Germany 4,350,000 Italy 3,433,((10 8,603,000 Triple Entente Russia 5,400,000 France 2,500,000 England 1.072,000 Balkans 1,000,000 9,972,000 In addition to these eighteen mil lions and a half of men that a pro longed struggle would bring Into the field, there are to be taken Into ne count the combined naval strength of the Triple Alliance, consisting of 612, and that of the Triple Entente, com posing 1,340 ships of war, not to mention the Grecian navy, the mono plane fleets of France, or the dirigible squadrons of Germany. To feed and transport this host and keep It supplied with ammunition would cost, at an estimate, $50,000, 000 a day. A six months campaign would well nigh bankrupt the world. A year's fighting would cost twice as much in treasure and five time as much In lives as the Thirty Years War. A single determined campaign anywhere on the continent would practically undo everything that civi lization has learned and achieved since France and Prussia staged their short but bloody quarrel of 1870-71. It Is this magnitude of figures, this destruction of budgets, that will give pause to nations anxious for war, but afraid of suicide. The figures of men available for the armies, the statistics of vessels ready for sea are Imposing when con sidered as weapons of offense or de fense. But they are nothing less than ap palling when it is suggested that they be put to practical use. "Joseph In the I .and of Egypt" Thanhouser's great Biblical master piece In four complete reels, featur ing James Cruze and Margarlte Snow, wil be shown at the Rex Friday, Au gust 14th. Swing Into line and drink Chero Cola. Everybody's doing It WHISKEY CARRIED HY AITOS. Revenue Authorities Have Had Sev eral UeHir1s of the Whiskey Auto mobiles. Greensboro News. Revenue Agent T. H. Van'Vrford said yesterdaw that frequeii'ly re ports come to his office of automo biles transporting whis-key across country In this section. Rp-ated efforts have been made to catch up with them and although they make it difficult for officers to trail them a constant watch hits been thrown out. The remark was made while speak ing of the automobile and whiskey which were Feized Saturday night by Sheriff Stafford and posse In a long midnight race north of High Tolnt. Officers of Mr. Vand-rford yesterday formally rized the whis key and the automobile fnr Uni ted States, and Charles, who is out under a $1,000 bond required Sy th? State authorities, will be d-alt with by the United States also. This method of transporting whis key across country is known by the officers to be adopted as a wans to keep the blind tiger hid. It is re garded as one of the shrewdest meth ods of the blind tiger. The capture Saturday night was made by accident. The roun'y offi cers had gone to arrest another man charged with keeping a disorderly house. They overheard young men In a carriage shout to an automobile driver that the officers "were down there," and the driver Immediately started to go at top speed. He was captured after a tire had been punct ured by a pistol bullet. Husband Practiced Political Oratory. Wife Wants Divorce. Washington Dispatch. Brltt W. Davis, who, his attorney says, Is private secietary to Repre sentative Walker of Georgia, Is con templating "running" for Congress from that State, according to the al legations in a petition for divorce and allmpny filed In the District Su preme Court by his wife, Anna H. Davis. Mrs. Davis charges that her hus band stays out late and that one of the humiliating things he dues at such times is to come to their apart ment and make campaign speeches. She alleges that he declare he is going to run for Congress and when making his speeches walks up and down the floor for hours at a time, gesticulating and talking. They have a little son not yet six months old, and the noise greatly disturbs both her and the infant, the wife alleges, as well as the other oc cupants of the apartment. The Two Prise Honeheads. Assistant Postmaster John M. Hubbard of Chicago says the prize bonehead postmaster is In Indiana, but that Chicago has won the champ ionship when It comes to the in telligent public. Daniel Vaughn, publication clerk In Washington, sent to a Chicago man a copy of a book of 1.40 pages entitled, "The Commerce and Naviga tion af the United States." On the left hand corner of the envelope was the usual Inscription: "Return in five days." A few days later Mr. Vaughn re ceived a letter from the Chtcagoan, who said be had been sitting up night's to read the publication, but had been unable to do so within five days. He asked pernrtssion to keep the book three days longer. A New York traveling man had ar ranged for expense money to be sent to an Indiana village. The postmas ter informed him that he had receiv ed such a letter, but had sent it bark. The salesman demanded to know the reason. "Wall, my friend." said the post master, "that thar letter said on the front, return In five days. Now I ealkerlated that the letter took two days to come from New York and it would take two days goln' back. So I could keep It only one day." Still Owed Him. "Uncle Wash had been a servant In the Caroll family for many years, and so, when young Charlie Carroll ran for Congress, he naturally expect ed the old man to support him. Char lie was a good deal disappointed, therefore, when, the day after his de feat, he heard that Wash had voted against him. " 'Uncle Wash,' he spld, Is it tru that you voted arainst me yester day?" " "Yas, Mars' Charlie; I done voted de Republican ticket,' Uncle Wash admitted. " 'Well,' said the defeated candi date, 'I like frankness, anyway; so here's a dollar for your candor.' "Uncle Wash picked up the dollar. Then he scratched his head, chuckled, and said: "Mars' Charlie, If you's b'.iyln' can dor, you owes me fo' dollahs mo', kase I voted ag'In yo' five times! Detroit Free Press. Lime Blinded Children. At Spartanburg, Alice Turner, Lois Bruce and Clarence Bruce, children of Mr. and Mrs W. C. Bruce, are in the Good Samaritln Hospital suffer ing from burns caused by the explo sion of a bucket of lime. Clarence, 12 years old, will never be able to see again, and it Is doubtful if the eyes of the other two can be saved. A fourth child, Norman Bruce, 10 years old, was also burned by the explosion, but was not taken to the hospital. Their home Is on the out skirts of the city. (ilory and Modern Misery Mrs. Covington's Second Letter. Written for The Journal. We are sight-seeing so continually, and when we stop to rest, are so, fa tigued that we have confined our cor respondence with the home folks al most entirely to post cards. Still I wish to write you a few things about Smyrna, Athens, Alexandria and J op pa the cities we have visited since my last letter. Smyrna Is the largest city of Asia Minor, population 350.000. A pano ramic view of It presents a very at tractive appearance, but when we en ter Its narrow, filthy, ill smelling streets we are disillusioned. The people seem to be of a very low order, and are exceedingly repulsive. They either are barefooted or have sandals without hose. They bake their bread in large, round rings, and hang it on their arms, and carry it with them as they walk. We took a drive around old Smyr na and saw a Greek acqueduct two thousand years old still In use, also a Roman acqueduct nine hundred years old which is still In use. We saw no signs of the church which Paul planted here, nor of the religion which he preached. Some one has said that Mohamedanism either finds or makes a desert, and we were glad enough to escape from this city and return to our vessel. The next day we landed at Athens. Athens presents a very different ap pearance. It la a pretty and attract ive city of half a million population. We saw the University, Public Libra ry, Academy of Science, and then vis ited the National Museum, a band some, well-kept place with beautiful grounds. We were shown jewels and vases, and many things which' have been taken from the tombs of the kings, and also saw the works of Prexltiles and Phineas, sculptors who lived three or four hundred years be fore Christ. We visited the Stadium which has been rebuilt on the same spot as the old one and Is an exact reproduction of it. It Is used for ath letic games and seats fifty thousand spectators. We saw the theatre of Dyonlslus, and the ruins of the tem ple of Zeus (Jupiter) and many things which I haven't time to men tion. We stood on Mars Hill where Paul preached his famous sermon found in the seventeenth chapter of Acts, and on the Acropolis amid the ruins of the Parthenon, said to be the most perfect building ever planned by the creative genius of man. Ath ens charmed us. It still reflects "The Glory that was Greece." We next came to Alexandria the front door of Egypt. This Is a very nice, modern, up-to-date city with street cars and even some automo mobiles. It is hard to realize that two thousand years ago Alexandria ranked among the largest and most brilliant cities of the w orld, and was the principal emporium of the East. For centuries it was the principal seat of Grecian learning, and here St. Mark Is said to have preached the gospel. But war and pillage have destroyed the relics of old Alexandria Its pure white marble lighthouse, Pharos, taller than the pyramids, and considered one of the seven won ders of the world is no longer visible. The mausoleum of Alexander the Great has also passed away. The Im mense Alexandrian library has van ished In flame and smoke long ago. The obelisks, known as Cleopatrla's needles, which were hewn from the quarry thirty-five hundred years ago, have been carried away. We saw one when we were in New York, In Cen tral Park. The other, I am told, is in London. Only one great memorial of the past remains in Alexandria Pompey's Pillar. That Alexandria Is such a modern city now is due to the fact that Great Britain now controls Egypt. We next touch at Point Said the entrance to the Suez Canal which connects the Red Sea and the Medlt eranean. This canal was cut by De Lessepa, the Frenchman, and we saw there a monument erected to him. This Is neither a Urge nor an ancient place. All my life I have heard and read of the landing at Joppa how rough and even sometimes impossible, so we were agreeably surprised to find it calm and easy. Though one of the oldest towns In the world, it has no harbor and little boats came out to meet our Vessel and took us In and we were rowed by stalwart men half a mile to shore. We visited the house of Simon the tanner, and went upon the house top where Peter had the vision recorded in Acts 10th chapter. This Is the home of Dorcas and here we are shown her tomb, and a foun tain named for her. Joppa has 60,- 000 people the worst looking people 1 have ever seen ragged, dirty, blind, full of sores. You shudder at the sight. The odors are so dreadful that our guide has to give us some sweet smelling herb to inhale as we walk through the streets. Judging from the rags which the people wear, Dorcas has had no successsors, and nowhere on earth are Dorcas socie ties worse needed. Our hotel, The Continental, run by a German, Is a very nice place, but after all we had seen we bad no appetite for dinner. From Joppa we came by rail through the plain of Sharon, Gaza the home of Sampson and the Valley of Zareh where Sampson tied fire brands to the foxes' tails and turned them loose la the fields of the Philis tines. We came right through the I. v.th Family Donate Church Site. One of the historic old churches of this section Is Rehoboth in Jackson township. Squire. S. J. Richardson and Mr. W. B. Keziah have been writ ing a sketch of the church's history in the Waxhaw Enterprise. In wind ing up their sketch they say: In 1912 the Presbyterians secured a lot adjoining the old lot and last year they built a pretty church there on, which is also called Rehoboth. New Rehoboth, may your work be as good and great as that of old Reho both. We have mentioned that with the coming of the railroad through Union county the old church lost by removal many of its influential members, and thereby financial support. Things are coming back. Last week the sons and daughters of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Heath deeded a three acre tract of land to the Methodists one and a half miles west of Reho both on which a splendid new church building will soon be erected to be known as the Heath ' Memorial church. Plans have not yet been def initely settled upon, but it Is practi cally certain that the building will be of concrete. Samples of material last week were sent off to be made into blocks for testing purposes. Capt. W. C. Heath of Monroe, Mr. A. C. Heath of Albemarle, Mrs. C. S. Massey of Waxhaw, Mrs. Henry Stokes of Yorkvllle, Mrs. T. L. Blv ens of Pickens, Mrs. W. O. Nisbet and Mrs. Isabel Heath of Charlotte are do nors of the land. All of them except Mrs. Heath have at one time been members of Rehoboth church and they will all give the new church their financial and moral support. At Work on Waxhaw Celebration.

One of the rooms over the Nlven old store will be fixed up with seats for a ladles' rest room. Plenty of water.' Contrary but Salutary. Monroe, N. C, July 30, 1914. The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Tenn. Dear Sirs: A drouth of from two to three weeks duration has been productive of contrary, though, on the whole, salutary, effects. While having a slight deteriorating effect on the ear ly cotton, it has amounted, In so far as It could be effected by cultivation, to the salvation of the later and larg er portion of the crop. But for this favorable and uninterrupted stretch of opportunity, much of this would have been abandoned, while that re maining' would have been so handi capped by lack of cultivation and con sequent absorption of fertilizers by the foulness with which it was men anced as to have materially affected Its production. And what it may yet accomplish in the way of yield could only be determined by unrolling the scroll. The older cotton is being "laid by" comparatively free from grass and weeds and Is looking well. Good rains have fallen over a large portion of the county In the past 36 hours, thus affording ample moisture for the next ten days. Estimates of condition are indefinite, being from 73 to 77 per cent. Very truly yours, GEO. E. FLOW. For the Legislature. I hereby announce myself an inde pendent candidate for the House of Representatives for Union county. I believe the farming class of peo ple should be equally represented. I have always been a farmer and have always stood by the farmer's Inter ests. So, boys, now Is the time to rally to the Flag. Boys, you know the farmer Is the master wheel of the world. There are enough farmers In Union county to elect a farmer to the Leg islature. FRANK M. HASTY.
