BUILDING WHKF.L OF PROGRESS IiwIUa Trail School bi th Hub and the Folk Are Putting In the Spokes Woman Crushed by Falling Trrr. Correspondence of The Journal. Indian Trail. Jan. 26. Mr. W. P. Hartis, who underwent an operation in the hospital at Charlotte Mine weeks ago. had been Improving some up to a few days ago. when he began to get worse. He is In a very seri ous) condition at this writing. Miss Katie Tomberlin'a friends were glad to see her out at preach ing service Sunday afternoon, as she has been sick for a long time. A great wheel Is being construct ed In this community. It is not made of wood, neither is It nude of steel, but it is made of something as durable as either the two substances. The name of this wheel is progress. It is thought that the wheel will nev er be completed, nevertheless the construction must be continued. The school of this vicinity is the hub of this great wheel, around which the progressive movements seem to cen ter, as spokes of any wheel point to the hub. One of the progressive movements that has been set on foot in this com munity is the establishment of a moonlight school. On last Monday night people of the neighborhood nut for the purpose of organizing the school. Eleven students were presented at the ft rut meeting, one or two of whom could not read or write. Many more are expected to attend soon. Men and women who have been deprived of the opportunity of get ting an education when tbey were young are heartily invited to come and take the advantage of the oppor tunity that Is thrown at their feet, figuratively speaking. Not only men and women are in vited, but young folks whose chances of galuing a practical education at least to read and write, are limited. Three special features are to be the objects of the moonlight school of this village. On Monday night of each week, the time will be devoteu to the study of spelling, reading and writing. Professor H. M. Baucom will have charge of this, with the as sistance of Mr. Hoffman King. The writing department will be conduct ed by Mr. T. A. Shaw. Wednesday nleht will be devoted to the study of the Bible, and also writing, tho above named taking charge of the work on this night Friday nigU will be devoted to the siuay or larm topics ami meir ni cusslon in charge of Mr. J. W. Rai lings. Only three nights out of the week will be devoted to the work in this school; namely, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You who cannot read nor write, here is your opportunity to learn. Come and be a student. One other progressive movement that is budding at this place Is the community league. It was partly or ganized Friday afternoon at the school auditorium by 'Squire J. E. Broom and Mr. J. W. Railings. After the president, secretary and treasurer were elected, a committee on education was appointed, whose work has not been definitely placed as yet. A committee on charity was ap pointed whose duty has not definitely been mapped out. Everybody seems to be In great sympathy with the work and great good Is expected to be the final con summation. February the fourth Is the date set apart for the completion of the or ganization. Mr. and Mrs. John Marze of the Howie Mine neighborhood were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Charley Par ker Sunday. Mrs. Frank Kealah, who lives about two miles west of here was the vic tim of a very serious accident Friday of last week. A tree which had been partly blown up by the root gave away and fell across her shoulder while she was si, ting on a log in the woods near where her husband was cutting wood. When the tree struck her it crushed In r to the ground, knocking her unconscious. She was .Varrled home Immediately and a phy sician was summoned. He found that no bones were broken but that she was badly bruised up. Mrs. Keslah is some better but is still unconscious at this writing. Mr. and Mrs. Bryant Thompson of Charlotte were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Harkey Sunday. Rev. A. D. Haywood conducted the funeral service of Mrs. Lou Paxton at Antioch nhout three miles rrom here Sunday. Misses Maggie Boyd and I.lllie Garmon of this vicinity were the gne.it s of Miss Kula Broom of Anti och neighborhood Saturday night. Our school rs a whole, which Is In great sympathy with those who are deprived of the opportunity of ob taining an education for the like of sufficient clothing to wear, found that some little children In this communi ty were lacking in this respect. The school under the auspices of Prof. Baucom collected enough money to buy clothes for the children so they might attend school. Mrs. Delia Austin, who Uvea nbout three miles west of the village, ar cldently fell from a scaffold a few days ago nnd broke two of her ribs. She was engaged In helping her son put up some ceiling In the house. Although she was very badly hurl she Is improving very rapidly. SIR JOHN'. It Is difficult to convince the head of fie house that two heads are bet ter than one. WILSO.X OPF.XS HIS Hit; FIGHTING CAMPAKiX First Speech In New York M-t Mglit Tel In Why He Changed Hi .Mind Want Army of 504t,MM. '?w York Dispatch. Jan. 17. President Wilson tonight opened his personal appeal to the country for national defense. He gave warning that plans for the re-adjustment of the army must be formulated and car ried out without fieny and solemnly declared that he could not predict the outlook for the United States would be as bright tomorrow as to day. Speaking at banquets of the Railway Business Association and the Motion Picture Board of Trade, he sounded the keynote of addresses that he will deliver during the next 10 days in the Middle West. Mr. Wilson was in a fighting mood throughout his addresses. In a speech delivered earlier in the day, he declared he always accepted an In vitation to light. Tonight he told the railroad men he was an advocate of peace and had struggled to keep (be United States at peace, but he con sidered he liberty and honor of the Nation even more than peace. "Woe to any man who plays mar plot or who seeks to make party politics or personal ambition take precedence over candor, honor and unselfish, unpartlsan service," said the President In speaking of his de fense plan before the railroad men. He decalred that the country expects action: this is a year of accounting and the accounting must be definite on the part of parties and on the part of every Individual who wishes to enjoy the public confidence. "For my part, I hope every man In public life will get what's coming to him," said Mr. Wilson amid laughter and applause. The President admitted that In a message to the last Congress he had said the need for preparedness was not pressing. He declared that he had learned something In the mean time. He cited his recent support of a tariff commission as another In stance of a change on his part, but declared that previously there was no need for such a commission. The business men enthusiastically cheered his support of the commission. Mr. Wilson spoke of men of high character who wore clouding the pre paredness Issue. He declared they were provincial and that the I'nited States could no longer cut herself off from the rest of the world. The President vigorously defended his Mexican policy. He asserted that to Invade Mexico would mean the losing of the confidence ef the rest of the Western Hemisphere. He cited the freeing of Cuba as an Instance of good done by the United States. "If wo are drawn into the mael strom which now .urges In Europe." tho President declared, "we shall not be permitted to do the high things we would prefer." The President defended the con tinental nrmy plan drawn up by Sec retary Garrison and said that he did not care about details of any plan as long as 500,000 trained men were provided as reserves under the Fed enirl Government. H advocated strengthening the National Guard. but said the Constitution itself put the guard under the State. He added that the United States will not turn in the direction of militarism. Outlining why the United States should prepare Mr. Wilson said we must protect our rights as a Nation and the rights of our citizens In Am erica and outside of It as the con sensus of civilized people has de tained them; must ensure the unem barrassed realization of our own po litical development within our own borders and must protect the peace and political autonomy of the Ameri can people. Industrial preparedness, with the military training of students in in dustrial, schools was proposed by the President. He left consideration of Navy plans for later addresses. Business men who formerly relied on protective measures in their deal In ges with foreign powers were criticised by Mr. Wilson. He sni! American business men .should he able to hold their own against the world. Buncombe Overseer (limited With Cruelty to Convict Asheville Dispatch, Jan. 27. Paul Thompson and Jeter Prlt h- ard. two convlc's who escaped from Sandy Mush camp recently when 15 men got away, dropped a bombshell Into Superior Court yesterday when they declared that they left camp because of cruelty towards them. .Thompson was specific, 'naming John Gragg. formerly In charge of tile ci inn, as his nwaMiTt, and de claring that lh nvr.-er hud ."truck him across t he heed with a hickory stick on one ocension In such a man ner as to knock him down, draw blood Rnd leave a rear. His state ment was corroborated by L. H. l'ressly. steward at the camp at the time, and Judge Harding isued a bench warrant for Grag. directing that he make bond for his app-ar-nnce at the nxt term of court to anrwer an indictment which So'lel- tor ,1. K. Swain wns directed to trc nnr for prosecution to the rr,i:id Jury. Prlrhard escaped from the ruse. but his memory failed when h- tiled to remember that any other had es oped at the same time. He said that It was easy to be made a truMy If one had some money to give the guards to keep. He was given four- months' additional sentence on the roads for escaping. His story of b'.ivlng a piece as trustv, however, will cause another investigation of camp methods. THF, SWORD OF I.KK Captain Bobbins Correct False ! proration That It Wax Surrendered and lleturned. It Is frequently stated in pretend ed histories and sometimes in public addresses, in one recently, that at the surrender of Lee at Appomattox Grant returned to Lee bis sword. Na poleon said "History Is made up of the falsehoods which the world has agreed to call facts." This ought not to be so. and it is a pity there is so much truth in what Napoleon said. .What Is the facts about Lee's sword? When Grant and Lee met to discuss the terms of surrender. Lee opened the Interview by saying. "Gen eral, I deem It due to proper candor and frankness to say at the very be ginning of this interview that I am not willing even to discuss any terms of surrender inconsistent with the honor of my army, which I am de termined to maintain to the last." Grant was generous enough to reply: "I have no idea of proposing dishon orable terms, general, but would be glad If you would state what you consider honorable terms." General Lee then stated the terms on which he would be willing to rurrender and Grant expressed himself satisfied and wrote them out, and they both sign ed them. In a company of his friends afterwards, some one said to Lee, "General Grant returned you your sword, did he not?" The old hero, straightening himself up. replied: "No. sir. he did not. He had no op portunity to do so. I was determined that the side arms of officers should be exempt by the terms of the sur render, and of course I did not offer him mine." A fuller account of the whole scene at Appomattox is given In a volume entitled. "Personal Remi niscences of General Robert E. Lee." pages 301 to 306. Some people may think it a little thing that Lee, while surrendering his army. Insisted upon maintaining his honor to the lart; but it was not a little thing and will not be so con sidered until a craven spirit. If ever, rules the world and honor ceases to be a virtue. In the military code an honorable surrender Is one that retains the side- arms of officers. After our humila tinn. don't take from us old Con fed crates the consolation of knowing our Immortal leader maintained the hon or of his army to the last. F. C. UOBBINS. Lextington, N. C, Jan. 24, 1916. HOMF. FOR XKIiLFtTEI) BOYS John Marriage, Owner of (1,000 Acres of I .and, ( inlying Out Vow Made on Plains of I own hi Youth to Help the "Other Fellows" When He ".Made His Slake." An 8-year-old boy herding cattle alone over the Iowa plains, forty-five years ago. one day pledged himself that when he "made his stake" he would help other boys. Today, John Marriage, owner of 6,000 Kansas acres, is getting ready to keep that promise. Neglected and orphan boys from all parts of the United Sates are to find a home on the Eagle Canyon ranch, 100 miles southwest of Hutch inson, Kas., which has a school house, a nonsectarlan church and a commu nity all Its own. Mr. and Mrs. Marriage have been In Kansas City studying methods us ed at the Boy's hotel, tho McCune farm and other institutions. "It Is too big an undertaken to hurry with," said Mr. Marriage. "We will select helpers and boys very care fully. Only boys who need help and are sure they will like farm life will be taken." Kindly fared and genial is the man who wants to be "Daddy" to so many orphans. Mrs. Marriage Is a quiet, sweet-faced woman quite as much in terested in boys as her husband. She, too. has known the hardship of life. She married her husband when he was starting In the cattle business and for seven years they liv ed the wagon life, herding cattle in northern Iowa. Twenty years ago they sold their herds and their Iowa land and went to Kansas. Alter much Investiga tion Marriage decided on his present ranch and bought 6,000 acres. The Marriages have two married children, a son and daughter, living on the Eagle Canyon ranch. They will help their parents care for boys. Mr. Marriage Intends to have the boys live in cottages. A family will be in charge of each cottage. The boys will be taught farm work in summer and in winter niv.'i manual training. They will go to the ranch school hrnse and church. The Marriage family long has been active In charitable work. An aunt of Marriage, Mrs. Maty Ann Marriage Allen, at the age of 1H yeuro went to London and solicited funds sufficient to start an orphanage which cared for 1,000 street "Arabs." Later she mcr- ried Richard Allen, famous Irish philanthropist. A slater of Marri age s was a missionary seven years to Jamaica. "I am out to help boys and not other persons," said Mr. Marriage. Clccuytimn to Be Vaiuleillle Singer. New York I't'ipateh, Jan. 21. The Rev. Frank Walter German, former pastor of the Atkinson Memorial church of Portland. Ore., has accepted an offer to sing in vaudeville houses for $2!i0 a week. Mr. Gorman was secretary of the Ministerial Society of Portland when he began singing In one rf the thea ters there to make money to pay his debts. This caused a split in his congregation and he resigned to take the stage as a profession. J 1ST TIP YOIlt HAT TO MISSOURI'S (X)V One of (lie Country's ForrimiM Final). ler; Kaixed 30,(MM,04)O lst Year krejw Farmer (Siting. Kansas City Post. You'll have to tip your hat to Mis souri's gentle, lazy, cud - chewing dairy cow, for she Is one of the coun try's foremost financiers. She raised more than $30,000,000 for the Missouri farmer last year. This amount would have cov ered the beet sugar output of the en tire United States with something like $8,000,000 let over. And Kansas City owes the fact it Is a leader In the butter markets of the country to the same dairy cow. In every town and hamlet in the state, also In Kansas, farmers are seen . daily bringing cream to the creameries and cream buying sta tions. A glance at the railroad stations throughout Kansas City's trade terri tory will show the truck loaded with cans of cream ready for shipment to Kansas City. Cheetie to the Soldier. In turn Kansas City sends out the finished product of Missouri's dairy cow to the whole country and abroad for the British troops in France eat cheese made from the products of Missouri's dairy farms. It Is significant 90 per cent of the farmers of Missouri consider the pro ducts of the cow as the medium through which they derive the great est psrt of their living. The dairy cow furnishes the farmer the ready cash to pay his running expenses and buy what . food he himself cannot furnish. The farmsr smiles gladly at the lazy "moo-oo-oo's" echoing from his pasture while his cows chew their cuds. Ha can imagine them grinding out the dollars. For he clothes his family with (heir aid and Is enabled to rount aa "velvet" the profits on his crops. Could Buy All Their Sugar Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, Southern California and Arizona vir tually produce all the beets from which beet sugar is manufactured In the United States. More than 1,200, 000,000 pounds are raised by these slates. Alabama, Florida, North and South Carolina. Louisiana, Mississip pi and Georgia are proud of their sugRr cane production because they prod,ucr.JUL In the Urlted States more than 1.000.000 tons. But with the help of the Kansas dairy cow, the .Missouri dairy cow could buy the sugar production of these twelve states in one year. A Change of Sentiment. Only a few years ago the cow was a burden on the fanner. There was no market for the surplus milk the farmer could not use. He fattened his hogs on good cow's milk. The packing plants at Kansas CKy realized the opportunity. Kansas City capitalists saw a big chance. Now Kunsns City Is a clearing house for the products of the cow. As for being a burden to the farm er, things have changed, as is shown by the fact Missouri farmers spent $250,000 last year for specially selected, pure-bred, registered dairy animals, many being imported from foreign countries. The Suffering Jews News & Observer. That the Jews are calling for aid from those other than Jews shows in Itself the.dlre distress which has come upon that people.

Mrs. Tlnie Mullis had a fall a few days ago from which she sustained some painful but not serious bruises. After the play, "Down in Dixie," has been rendered by our local tal ent on Friday night, the 28th, the same will be rendered at the acad emy In Marshvtlle, by the same tal ent, on Saturday night, the 29th. This play Is of high order and strict ly moral and worthy. Co out and enjoy it The numerous friends will be sorry to learn that Mrs. Enoch Griffin's condition has been somewhat worse for the last day or two. It is to be hoped that this little back set will not prove serious and that "Cousin Mag" may soon recover her accus tomed health. These warm spring like days make the lettuce, mustard, turnip tops and onions "eat good." Everybody should have a good supply of garden "stuff" the year through. It cools and pur fies the blood and furnishes elements for the system, that perhaps, we can't get from other sources. It Is cheaper and better than medicine. The old mill house and contents, known as the Deberry Austin mill, near the old home, which now be longs to Mr. B. D. Austin, was de stroyed by fire last Saturday morn ing between midnight and day. The nrlM nf th flr wj evlHint'lv the work of an Incendiary as the mill had not been in operation for some years. The loss to the owners, how ever, was small as the property was fully covered by Insurance. These old time "rattle traps" like most eld machinery, have been dis placed by more modern devices for loing their work and we rejoice In the fact. When the writer was in his boyhood days we were compelled to go 20 to 30 miles in time of drought to the river mills to have a few bushels of corn ground; then fre quently had to wait a day or two or go from one mill to another In search of one that could serve us; while the family at home had to live on roast ing ears and potatoes as a substitute for bread. What a time was that! Now most anybody can go to mill any day and get back for dinner. Why, every man, with a small out lay, can have a mill of his own; just set it up In any old place. In the barn or under the wagon shed, and they make fine bread material, too. What a wonderful Improvement! Old things are passing away and all things be coming new and I'm glad If the new ones are better. O. P. TIM 1ST. DROP KIM) DKKDS IX SUXSHIXK HAXK A. F.

ItOOSKYELT IS FOR COMPULSORY ARMY Great Naval and Military Force Urg ed for .National Defense 'Fear ;h1 and Take Your Own Iart, l Motto He Offers. Philadelphia Dispatch. Jan. 21. If Colonel Roosevelt had been stat ing the planks of a platform for cam paigning for the presidency, be could .not have presented his views more plainly on all problem than he did last night at the Metropolitan opera bouse. He made his declaration of policy under the auspices of the Americanization conference before an auaience oi J.oiiu. Hundreds were turned away when the doors were closed. Roosevelt defined himself on na- tional preparedness for defense and outlined his own plans for develop ment of a great navy und army of 250,000 men. Favors Compulsory Training. He declared himself in favor of "universal compulsory military ser-' vice," the training starting at the r.':e of It In the public schools, with four or six month's actual service In the field with the colors between the ages of 18 and 20. Roosevelt termed the proposed con tinental army an absurdity. He call ed It "criminal folly" to be building only one battle cruiser. He declared in favor of a naval program three times as large for the first year as has been outlined in official reports from Washington. Roosevelt called upon the United States to follow the example of Ger man Industrial efficiency. Much as he abhorred Germany's military record, he said, he would "hold It an unspeakable foolish thing" to refuse to follow Germany's example where she can teach ua anything. Touches on Wide Range. Mr. Roosevelt touched on a wide range of Issues of the day. .He sug gested aa a national and Individual motto tor Americans: "Fear God and take your own part." Neither nation nor man who cannot do this Is go ing to amount to anything in tho world, he said. He took a shot at the international ists, saying a "flabby cosmopolitan ism, especially if it expresses Itself through flabby pacificism, is silly and mischievous." To achieve Industrial preparedness, he said, we must solve the railroad problem, and for thia and other pur- snry. The government must stand be hind these great national corpora tions, too, If we are to reach Ger many's level of efficiency. California is farther advanced than any other state in Intelligent handling of k public service corporal ions, he added. The colonel spoke in favor of a protective tariff nnd a tariff commis sion of the German type; munition plants situated In the interior; n com prehensive plan for handling pro blems such as rulneus International competition and enrrcnus immigra tion which must be met at the enl of the war. Bleketl on (.eecul Lee Attorney General T. W. Bickett spoke at Flora Mebonald College last Wednesday on the spirit of Lee and here Is a typical paragraph from bis eloqeunt speech: "I have a son, an only son. I talk to him about Lee, read to him about Lee, give him books about Lee and pictures of Lee. I want him to get his mind saturated with the spirit of Lee, for I would rather that boy would take Lee for his model, for his hero, than any being that ever walked this earth.
