Misa Ed na Wimberly of Rock Hill is the guest of Miss Ethel Snyder for a few days, A very interesting game was play ed on the Wingate diamond Tuesday evening between I'nionville and Win pate. The game was fine and well played by both teams. Result 14 to 9 in favor of Wingate. Mr. J. T. Meigs of Bethel neigh borhood spent Tuesday with his brother, II. 1 Meigs, of Wingate. The fall term of the Wingate School opened with 22 students en rolled, 40 of whom are boarders from a distance, with quite a number who have arranged to enter at an early day. Taking it all in all, the pros pect for a successful term are bright and encouraging. Shall we try to make it the best in its history Sup pose we resolve so to do. Mr. Alfred McWhirter of Wingate and Miss Inez Denton of I'nionville were married Wednesday, the 19th at Corinth church. Rev. 11. M. Haig- ler officiating. The bride is -the pret ty and accomplished daughter of Mr and Mrs. Dexter Benton of I'nion ville. Miss Benton was one of the faculty of the Wingate School last term. The groom is the clever and efficient salesman of the firm of J.L. Austin & Co. of Wingate. Mr. Mc Whirter Is a gentleman of fine char acter and of industrious habits and is fully worthy the hand and heart of the splendid prize which he has won Their many friends wish for them a full measure of all the good that falls to the lot of the good and worthy. Misses Lou Braswell and Mary Gibson of Charlotte are the guests of the Misses Gladys and Nell Hefner. Capt. Wiley Hefner will leave Sat urday for Birmingham, Ala., and other places of note. Miss Georgie Phlfer of Peachland is visiting her cousin, Mrs. Ada Har Sett of Wingate. Mrs. B. L. Hallnian of Clarkton pent several days with the family of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Green of Wingate. Mr. L. C. l'hifer of Wadesboro spent Sunday with his parents Mr. and Mrs. II. F. rhifer. Well, they "sho" did have a bis time over at Waxhaw at the "speak ing," but the writer is puzzled to know the significance of those eating contests, unless it was to show how Aear like a hog one who had sufficl ently evolved Trotn the brute stage as to be classed as human; or it might nave been an exhibition of the piety (pie-eaty) of the townspeople; again, it nicy have been intended ns a dent onstration of what may be expected of those who are fortunate enough to get to the "pie counter" later on. In all probability, however, it was all meant for fun and amusement which is all right if not too risky and too costly. Sometimes participants in such contests, pay mighty dearly for their prizes. ' In the opinion of the writer, Buch is unwise, to say the least. Mr. R. L. McWhirter returned Sun day from his northern trip. The annual protracted meeting at Mill Creek church is In progress at this writing. Pastor E. C. Snider is being assisted in the meeting by his brother, Rev. Joel Snider. Quite a Dumber from Wingate attended the services Sunday. Messrs. Lem Watson and C. W Baucom of Goose Creek left Tuesday for Atlantic City, N. J., and other cities. Pleasure seeking the object. May they find lots of it. Mrs. Jas. A. Liles is spending the week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs, John Russell of Goose Creek. 0. P. TIMIST. BREESE MUST SERVE SENTENCE, Secret Service Agent Reports He May Begin, Despite Any Alleged 111. ness. Asheville Dispatch. Aug. 18th. Maj. William E. Breese, president oi tne f irst atlonal Bank of Ashe ville, when it failed eighteen years ago. whose case charelnr mliunnrn. priation of funds has been in the united Mates court for the past 17 years, this morning was brought to Asheville from his home at Brevard on a stretcher to be presented to the district court tomorrow morning when the United States government will ask that his sentence of two years be put into execution. Since the decision of the United States Supreme court more than a year ago that the sentence Imposed by the lower court should stand. Major Breese has been at Brevard, while J. E. Dickerson, who was convicted with him, has finished serving his term. Major Breese has been allowed to remain at home on bail by reason that his physical condition was such that he could not serve his term. For the past several weeks, however, a secret service man has been station ed at Brevard, It is understood, and Major Breese's presence was demand ed in court following the filing of the report of the agent of the De partment of Justice. The prisoner was brought to Asheville In the cus tody of deputies from the office of the United States marshal, was met at the Southern station by an ambu lance and is now in the custody of an officer at a local hotel. (The court ordered the sentence executed and the prisoner was sent to the poniten tiary at Atlanta.) A man la very apt to complain of the ingratitude of those who have risen far above him. Johnson. A VISIT TO THE CATAWHAS. The Indian tin the Reservation on the River Are Nut Much For Road Improvement Xor Traveling Vehi cles, and iKin't Can a Hang Fur . .iloiuohlles. There Is a clamor of romance at tached to Indian settlements, especi ally in the minds of persons who have never seen them. When they are seen the romantic flavor Is likely to peel otf before the unpoetie realities. Twenty-four miles southwest from Monroe, and twelve miles from Wax haw live the remnant of the once powerful tribe of the Catawbas which once owned and roamed all this sec tion. There are one hundred and fif teen members of the settlement and they occupy six hundred and forty acres of land, using ft in common which is all that is left after a cen tury and a half of trading and leasing to the whites. -Squire Marvin Rich ardson, who has become a regular globe trotter these days, paid the In dians a visit Monday and Tuesday. He brought back a lot of pottery and such articles as they make and sell Nearly a century ago the State of South Carolina deeded to this tribe six hundred and forty acres of land and it is known as the Catawba In dian Reservation. All land is held in common and each one Is allowed to settle on any part which is not un der cultivation. They are exempted from all tax by the State. A drive oxer the Reservation will convince the sight seer that their roads are neither worked by taxation or free labor, Siulre Richardson thinks. They are engaged in fishing and hunting and go some farming, the women do ing most of the work. They are very poor farmers and take very little in terest in such work. Most every fam ily has a mule or horse but very few wagons and buggies are seen. The automobile as yet seems to be un known to them. Each family lias at least one milk cow, and no finer cows can be seen anywhere. They live in poorly constructed houses which are scantily furnished, with comparative ly no out-buildings. In the midst of this Reservation Is one church and a school which Is well attended, runs five months, and is supported by the State. After finishing nt this school many of the boys have gone through college. As to politics they have no Interest whatever, and are not allow ed to vote. The tribe Is subject to the laws of the State of South Caro lina. David Harris is their chief and is well educated, having finished at Car lisle College, l'enn. All troubles and disputes except felonies are settled among themselves. When any trou ble arises it is the duty of Chief Har ris to call the tribe together and ad- Just the same. The most important work of the Chief is to handle all matters, sign all documents or pa pers that may exist between the and the State and National Government. Their principal means of support is the pension, which each gets from the State and National Government. Each man, woman and child Is paid $64.00 dollars annually. Among them can be found Methodists, Bap tists and Presbyterians, but the larg est per cent are Mormans. Two Mor mon elders have been among them more than a year. Many of them are In direct communication with the other great tribes of Okla horn a, Indian Territory and New York. Many of them wear beads and feathers and love to talk of the once great happy hunting ground and how the wild deer and turkey once roam ed the big forest along the banks of the Catawba river and how that great stream once teemed with fish. Many of them talked freely of how they once owned that country for miles around and how it was leased to the w,hites for 99 years. This lease ex pired a few years ago and after re peated efforts by the tribe as yet they have failed to get possession of any territory other than their 640 acres. They have no love for negroes and have no business with them except to hire them to work, but gladly wel come white people in their midst. They seem to have the highest re gard for visitors and anyone can go among them without any fear of be ing harmed or molested. Card front Mr. J. D. Bundy. I have been told that It Is being circulated that I am not running In the second race for Representative. I am in the race to stay till Satur day night at 8 o'clock. My friends would not like it if I should show the white feather. I have had no Idea of withdrawing from the race. During my absence from the coun ty some very unfair, untruthful things have been circulated to Injure my chances. My opponnts are high-toned gen tlemen above reproach and do not approve of these things. I ask my friends not to assail my opponents in any way and not to say a word against them. Treat them with respect and let's have a fair fight. I wish to caution you, too, against tampering with the votes of men who cannot read and write. It Is more wrong to steal a man's vote than It is to steal his money. Honorable de feat Is better than dishonorable vic tory. Yours truly, J. D. BUNDY. The most nervy thing In war, since AJax defied the lightning at Troy, is the kaiser's challenge to nearly all Europe. It must be humiliating to lose the first round to the Belgian light-weight. Prlvldence Journal. Card from Mr. II. It. Adam. Jr, To the Voters of Union County: I thank you for the hearty support given me in the primaries of last Sat urday. I ask each of you to go to the polls on next Saturday and give me a large nujoriiy for a second term. I have tried to serve the peo ple as Recorder faithfully, without distinction or reference to classes or sections. If re-nominated I will give you the same faithful and careful consideration and will carefully look after the convenience of Juror and de fendant's, whther from town or the country districts, in the future, as I have heretofore in all cases since I assumed the duties of the office. I wish to call the people's atten tion especially to one thiug. You con ferred the office upon me two years ago, and after the General Assembly met in 1013. I drew an act and sent it to our representatives to be passed, making the fee of jurors twice as much as it had been before, and pro viding also that when one advanced Jury fees to get a jury trial and the case afterward terminated in his fa vor, he could apply to the Clerk, oh tain an order, and have the amount advanced by him repaid, one-half by the City of Monroe and one-hr.lf by the county. In this way the jury would get their pay, and yet one who was found by the court not to have been in the wrong would not be un justly taxed with this item. Mr. J C. Sikes, to whom I sent my bill, ad ded another feature, to-wit: That jurors need not be drawn from the township where the offense was com mitted unless requested. On last Monday I asked Mr. Sikes, in writing, to make a statement as to this. I attach to this card my request and Mr. Sikes' reply. My opponent is making the claim in his circular that these measures were passed on account of the efforts that he had made. In reply to this, I never in my life spoke to my opponent about these measures, nor were they drawn on account of his "influence." I had them passed because I had o'wrved in the conn room with mv nun eves the injustice of liming jurors to come from the country without proper coniHMiMition, and I hnd told parties in the country that I would remedy tills Iy legislation, .liense note tin thcr the statement of Mr. Sikes in the attached letter that I was the on ly person who over called Ills atten tlou to this matter. I will further state that, not only have I stood by the people of the country as Recorder In enacting leg islation for their benefit, but 1 have been and will continue to be very careful to look after their convenien ces when they attend court, and give them the fullest protection and bene fits of the law. Every man In the county knows that I am his genuine friend and have his interests at heart, and that I show my friendship, not by words alone, but by my acts. Thanking you for your support on Saturday, I am, faithfully yours, H. B. ADAMS, JR. Monroe, N. C, Aug. 17, 1914. Hon. John C. Sikes, Monroe, N. C. Dear Sir I am Informed that Mr. M. L. Flow is making the statement that it was due to his Influence that the Recorder's court act was chang ed so that the jurors would draw fifty cents Instead of twenty-five cents for attendance. I remember distinctly that I drew this act myself and sent it to you to be passed at the last ses slon of the General Assembly, at which you were the Representative from Union county. Please state the facts In regard to the matter, and state whether or not you were influ enced to pass the bill by anything that was said or done by Mr. M. L. Flow. Very truly yours, H. B. ADAMS, JR. Monroe, N. C, Aug. 17, 1914. Mr. H. B. Adams, Jr., Monroe, N. C. Dear Sir: Replying to your let ter of August 17, 1914, 1 beg to state that during the four years that I have represented Union county In the House of Representatives, I have passed several amendments to the Recorder s Court Act and the most of them have been to remedy certain de fects that I saw from my own obser vation. In regard to the special act that you refer, I beg to state that my files show on February 21, 1913, I receiv ed an amendment to the Recorder's court from you and that I wrote you the following: "Raleigh. N. C, Feb. 21. 1913. "Dear Hal: All your bills have been Introduced. I added one other amendment, to-wit: That Jury need not come from township where of fense committed unless requested." With the exception of this amend ment, I Introduced the bill as drafted by you. You were the only person who called my attention to the bill that I have any recollection of and I passed it because I thought that it was for the best interest of the citi zens of Union county. Yours truly, JOHN C. SIKES, Member H. of R. Attention, Woodmen! All Woodmen Camps of Union county are hereby requested to ap point delegates from their respect ive camps to a meeting of the county association of the W. O. W to be held August 29th, Inst, at Monroe In the courthouse at 2 o'clock. Busi ness of Importance to be transacted. JAS. N. PRICE, President. THOS. L. HINSON, Sec. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is In heaven. New Testament. PRESIDENT REGS PEOPLE TO RE MAIN' CALM. In Statement Countrymen II Asks That Judgment Ik- Not Passed IVsllny of America I With Her People. Washington Dispatch, ISth. Addressing the American people, President Wilson today issued a statement in connection with the Eu ropean war warning citizens of th- United States against "that deepest, most subtle, most essential breach of neutrality which may spring out of partisanship, out of passionately tak ing sides." The President pleaded that the United States be "neutral in fact as well as in name during these days that are to try men's souls." "We must be Impartial in thought as well as in action," he said, '"must put a curb upon our sentiments as well as upon every transaction that might be construed as a preference of one party to the struggle before another." Officials close to the President made it dear that he was fully de termined to take no part in the dis pute between Japan and Germany over the situation in the Far East. While that controvery was not spe cifically referred to in the President's statement, it became known that he is resentful of efforts he believed are being made to embroil the United Stats in it. DESTINY WITH THE PEOPLE. The President's statement follows: "My Fellow Countrymen: "I suppose every thoughtful man in America has asked himself during these last troubled weeks what influ ence the European war may exert upon the United States and I take the liberty of addressing a few words to you in order to roint out that it is entirely within our own choice what its effect upon us will be and to urge very earnestly upon you the sort of speech and conduct that will best safeguard the nation against distress and disas'er. "The effect of the war upon the United Stales will depend upon what American citizens say and do. Every man who really loves America will act and speak In the true spirit of neutrality, which Is the spirit of im partiality and fairness and friendli ness to all concerned. The spirit of the nation in this critical matter will be determined largely by what Indi viduals and society and those gather ed in public meetings do and say, upon -what newspapers and maga zines contain, upon what our minis ters utter In their pulpits and men proclaim as their opinion on the streets. EASY TO EXCITE PASSION. "The f people of the United States are drawn from many nations and chiefly from the nation now at war. It Is natural and Inevitable that there should be the most utmost variety of sympathy and desire among them with regard to the issues and circum stances of the conflict. Some will wish one nation, other another, to succeed in the momentous struggle. It will be easy to excite passion and difficult to allay it. Those responsible for ex citing it will assume a heavy respon sibility, a responsibility for no less a thing than that the people' of the United States whose love of their country and whose loyalty to Its gov ernment should unite them as Ameri cans, all, bound In honor and affec tion to think first of her and her in terests, may be divided in camps of hostile opinions, hot against each other, involved in the war itself in impuls and opininon if not In action. "Such division amongth us would be fatal to our peace of mind and might seriously stand in the way of the proper performance of our duty as the one great nation at peace, the one people holding itself ready to play a part of impartial mediation and ac commodation, not as a partisan, but as a friend. DON'T TAKE SIDES. "I venture, therefore, my fellow countrymen, to speak a solemn word of warning to you against that deep est, most subtle, most essential breach of neutrality which may spring out of partisanship out of pas sionately taking sides. The United States must be neutral in fact as well in name during these days that are to try men's souls. We must be im partial In thought as well as In ac tion, must put a curb upon our sen timents as well as upon every trans action that might be construed as a preference of one party to the strug gle before another. PLEADS FOR AMERICA. "My thought Is of Anierfca. I am speaking, I feel sure, the earnest wish and purpose of every thoughtful American that this great country of ours, which Is of course the first in our thoughts, and in our hearts, should show herself in this time of peculiar trial a nation fit beyond others to exhibit, the fine poise of un disturbed judgment, the dignity of self control, the efficiency of dispas sionate action; a nation that neither sits in Judgment upon others nor is disturbed in her own counsels, and which keeps herself fit and free to do what is honest and disinterested, and truly serviceable for the peace of the world. "Shall we not resolve to put upon ourselves the restraint which will bring to our people the happiness and the great and lasting influence for peace we covet for them?" JUST PLAIN AMERICANS The President Is understood to be deeply concerned because naturaliz ed Americans who came from the be- ligerant nations have taken sides In public discussions. On previous oc casions be has publicly spoken against what he termed "hyphenated Ameri cans," declaring that citizens of the United States should be Americans only, not Irish-Americans, Genaan Amerieans or other classification of the sort. That feeling is understood to have prompted his statement today. TO AVOID TROUBLE. President and Cabinet Takim: all Precautions against liec-oniiiig Mix ed Up in War. Washington, Aug.lS. The deter mination of the United States Gov ernment to keep this country from becoming involved in the European war and its controversies was man ifested in several ways Joday. President Wilson addressed an ap peal to the American people calling on them studiously to refrain from any expressions or acts that might re veal the slightest partisanship. Lead ers in Congress of all parties voiced similar views. For nearly three hours the Presi dent and his Cabinet wrestled with the vexed cable-wireless censorship situation. The matter still Is under consideration. Official information from Berlin said the Japanese ultimatum had been delivered to the German Govern ment and that diplomatic dispatches indicating that war between Japan and Germany was not unlikely. The Japanese Minister at Berlin apparently foreseeing such an even tuality asked Ambassador Gerard to be prepared to take over Japanese In terests in Germany. The President received from Em peror William a long message trans mitted through Ambassador Gerard, the contents of which was guarded closely, but which it was learned ex pressed the grateful r.r preciation of Germany for the tender of good of fices made by the United States. The German Emperor took occasion to point out causes of the present war and argued, it is understood, that while he was trying to mediate be tween Austria and Servia, Russian mobilization began. White House of ficials denied the message contained any protest concerning the attitude of the American press toward Ger many. Officials said there was noth ing to Indicate whether the Emperor would at any future time accept the tender of good offices. Tho Japanese ultimatum demand ing that German evacuate Kiao Cha- ow withdraw her fleet from the Ori ent was uppermost in the attention of official Washington. Discussion was general as to how the interests of the United States ultimately might be affected and It was obvious tha ta feeling of relief followed assurances given at London that should Japan take action against Germany such activity would be con fined to the China seas and German territory in Eastern Asia. KAISER WILLFIG3T JAPAN WILL NOT M liMIT TO DKMAMtS Card From Mr. Flow. To the Democratic Voters of Union county: Having received the largest vote of any one candidate for Recorder last Saturday at the primary, which I as sure you I greatly appreciate, but failing to receive a majority over all, a second primary is necessary, to be held next Saturday, August 22nd. I therefore appeal to the good people of Union county to go to their voting places next Saturday and cast their vote for me for Recorder, as I have always stood by you In your fight for the right and have opposed class legislation. A failure on your part to go may result in my defeat as the town crowd are moving heaven and earth to defeat me so as to perpetu ate their class legislation. I promise you if nominated, that I will make as good Recorder as any man who has been or will be before you for the office and that I will be prompt and attentive to the duties of the same and that without partial ity. --'" Do not believe the lies and misrep resentations that have been or that may be circulated against me by those of the class legislation ring In order to try to prejudice me before the people, and by parties who are hired heelers and have no personal interest in the office except for the cash they are receiving. They have attempted to misrepresent me and charge me with about everything that could be thought of except not having the ability and qualification to fill the office which I certainly am proud of the fact that they con cede that I have the abiliy and qualification to make you a first class and impartial Recorder. I am a poor man, have reared a large family and have had great burdens to bear for a long time In the way of family af flictions and have worked hard all my days and have no money to em ploy and pay hired heelers to work for me and have to trust to the good people to come to my aid and see that the right and fair deal Is done by me. Hoping to receive your vote next Saturday for Recorder, M. L. FLOW. The Senator and the Major were walking up the Avenue. The Senator was more than middle aged and con siderably more than fat, and, dearly as the Major loved him, he also loved his joke. The Senator turned with a pleased expression on his benign countenance and said, "Major, did you see that pretty girl smile at me?" "Oh, that's nothing," replied his friend. "The first time I saw you I laughed out loud." British (lot eminent Announces Tli.tt Kritullitt Rules the Wr I l, mo lested (.eriu.'iii) Still s.-uviii.-Wood .ami Prvssiiiij towards u.

No news whatever have been re ceived of any naval movements.. either in North Sea or the Mediterranean. The death of Pope Pius will be made occasion for another effort to bring about peace. It is stated that when the conclave meets In Koine to elect a new pope it will send an ap peal to the warring nations for peace and will ask the United Stales to aid n bringing about tranquility. According to the few bits of news allowed to come in from Berlin uormal conditions prevail in lhj German Capital. The price of food is declining and now that troop move ments have been completed a resump tion of general work on railways is beginning. Confirmation has been received on the report that Emperor William has ordered resistance to any effort that. Japan may make to seize Kiao-t'l.ow. ENGLAND'S VIEW OF IT. Washinuton, August 20th. The British Embassy here t r elay received from its foreign offict tui summary of the naval and i..'!iury situation: "Since the declaration'of vmj th fleet has been responsible for si:!ety of the expeditionary force vi.icb completed its disemtK'.rkatiri, in France on August 12, which v; is ef fected in perfect order and without a casualty. "The work of the navy in the At lantic and elsewhere is safeguard ing the trade routes is best ext...yli fied by the fact that at Lloyd;: yes terday the war risk fell to 4U shilling per cent for almost any voyage of British vessels, whereas the rate tu Insure freight of corn, paid by si earn ers, from the United States to a Lirit ish port is 30 shillings per cent. "The German fleet outside the Bal tic is confined to harbors. English commerce Is almost normal. Ger man sea-borne commerce is paralyz ed. "The only casualty is the loss of the light cruiser Amphion, blown up by a mine after having sunk the Ger man mine layer Koengen Luise. One German submarine has been sunk in the North Sea. "The military position is as fol lows: "The German forces at present extend from north of neighborhood of Balsle through Liege to a point in Belgium to the east of Antwerp and near the Dutch frontier. Outstanding features of the operations up to pres ent have been delay caused to be contemplted German offensive across the Meuse, by the defense of Liege, where the forts are still Intact. It has permitted the orderly mobiliza tion and concentration of French Army and British land forces. German troops have now crossed the Meuse both above and below Liege and are gaining some ground slowly westward but their advance cavalry has been continually checked by the Belgians. "In the South, where the German armies are apparently on the defen sive, the French are advancing on a long line into Alsace and Lorraine, a great extent of which they now occu py after driving back in several en gagements the troops opposed to them." Notice to Fanners. We can supply farmers with lime at $3.50 per ton, provided it is de livered from the cars. Lime is bad ly needed by most soils in this sec tion and there is no cheaper and bet ter aid to crops. We want to make up orders in car load lots and make special orders to that when the cars come they may be side tracked and unloaded right into the farmers wagons. This is neces sary to save handling so that It can be obtained at this low price. Farm ers who want to use lime should see us and leave their orders so that we can notify them when the cars ar rive. This Is ground lime rock and is the cheapest form in which lime can be secured. CROW BROS. Time Rockefeller was coming dawn to visit us.
