American ewsnM'r M;ui in That
Country Finds Ttml tier nmns Have
n Hitler Feeling Fur t' as For
England.
A staff correspondent o." New
ork World iu Germany is writing a
series of letters on conditions there.
In one of these he isays:
Throughout Germany today the
hatred for America Is bitter and deep
It is palpable and weighs you down.
All the resentment, all the blind fury
Germany once reserved for England
alone have been expanded to include
us, and have been accentuated in the
expansion.
The Germans have an outlet for
their feelings against England they
express themselves on the battlefields
and through the Zeppelins and sub
marines; but against America tiny
lack a method of registering their
enmity. And so this bitterness that
cannot be poured out has struck in
and saturated the whole empire.
The chagrin and humiliation of
their failure to end the war before
now through victory are visited upon
America. The failure gave birth to
hatred. Throughout the length and
breadth of Germany the belief is cer
tain and unqualified that had it not
been for Amercan moral and physca!
help to the alles the war would have
been long since over. With mag
nificent disregard of the checks and
reverses, both military and economic.
Germany has suffered at the hands
of the allies, her sons, from top to
bottom, say that only America is to
blame for the fact that the war is
now well into its third year, and the
more pertinent fact that as time goes
on the German chances are bound to
grow less.
It is a common thing to hear in
(.ermany that America has a secret
alliance with Kngland. undei which
she is operating now; it is even more
of a commonplace to be told that
America is deliberately seeking
to
prolong the war and circumvent
peace for the "blood money" she Is
making out of the struggle. (!er
many's fear of defeat and lofu of
prestige are laid at our door; we are
made the sacrificial goat offered on
the altar of self-glory
Hate may have no boundaries, but
it has beginnings, and it is not hard
to classify the grounds from which
the German haired of America
springs. There are five possibly six
They are, as the Germans put then
First The supply of munitions to
the allies.
Second The illegal blockade, for
wnicn we are responsible since we
have not stopped it.
Third The Interference with ne-i
tral mails.
Fourth The allies' worldwide
commercial blockade.
And the sixth may be one that is
not so frequently expressed, but
which is nevertheless a considerable
factor that America is out of th
war and prospering; for what is mor
usual than for envy to breed hate
Perhaps this sixth cause of Gorman
hatred might with equal truth be
applied to the rvsen'mcnt said to ex
ist against us in the other countries
at war, for surely Germany is not
the only one who resents our peace
and prosperity.
To the list I have given I might
add as one of the contributoiy causes
our Interpretation of neutrality, for
this is made the object of bitter re
crimination in viermany, and it is a
subject on which even thos- placed
in the highest positions speak with
the utmost candor.
It Van Jnimw. ( lnef Secrelii-v of
M State for Foreign Affairs, and Zim-
merniann, the Chief. Under Secretary,
in discuasing the American attitude
phiased the sentiments of their coun
try when they said to me:
"The American neutrality toward
Germany Is one of the head; toward
the allies it is one of the heart. YV hat
America does for the allies she does
voluntarily and gladly what she
does for Germany she does because
she must."
Untied Held In Leash.
This Is a mild view compared to
the popular idea. The resentment
against America has been cumulative
in Its growth, while that against Eng
land is perhaps less today than it
was at the beginning. Because her
military activity Is against the Eng
it has wrought at least a meas
ure of satisfaction. But the very fact
that America has been out of reach
of a concrete demonstration of Ger
man hatred has made more serious
the conditions existing in the empire
today with reference to America,
which are those of an actual menace.
And the form It takes is the wide
spread and highly popular agitation
for the resumption of the rurkslchts
lose (ruthless) Lusitania type of U
boat warefare.
Throughout Germany the agitation
for this plan grows stronger day by
day. The Chancellor Is holding out
against it. but how long he can re
strain it no one ran say. I left Ger
many convinced that only peace could
prevent Its resumption. And the same
opinion Is held by every German with
whom 2 spoke, and it Is held also by
Ambassador Gerard. The possibility
was so menacing that it formed the
principal caune of th" Ambassador's
return at this time so that he might
report to Washington. The World
set this point out in detail in a wire
less despatch I sent on Oct. 10 from
the Frederlk VIII, on which the
Ambassador returned.
But while the plan of returning to
the Lusitania type of submarine war
fare Is made more popular by the fact
that it would be a blow at America,
since America struck this weapon
from German hands, it must not be
thought that the advocates of the re
sumption view is merely as an offer-
ing to hate; they insist that it Is an
instrument of great military value
and they pretend to believe that IU
ue will tend to shorten the war.
However, the most ardent disciples of
I lil j plan can give no logical reasons
for their belief, while those support
ing the Chancellor in his opposition
are able to demonstrate the sound
ness of their attitude. In normal cir
cumstances this alignment of reasi
against unreason would be a guaran
tee against the fucccss of the "ruck
sichtslose" advocates, but when a na
tion has its back against the wall
light ins for existence, reason give
way to fury, and fury stops at noth
ing.
Tov.n of Monroe.
Seventh Grade Composition Work.
Monroe, the county seat of Union
county, is located in the extreme
southern part of North Carolina, and
is near the central part of Union
county.
Monroe was incorporated in 1841
A man named Henry Chaney gave
the land on which the town is built
This is not the centre of Union coun
ty, hut is only two miles from the
center. By an act of the legislature
it was ordered that the court house
should be built in the geographical
center of the county. A survey was
made and the geographical center
was found to be near High Hill
which is about two miles from the
present court house. This land was
owned by the late Tipton Helms
grandfather of our townsman C. N
Miupson, Sr. Mr. Helms asked two
dollars per acre for the land on which
to establish the county seat. The
commissioners thought this was too
much for the land. Mr. Henry Cha
ney said if the commissioners would
build the county seat on his land he
would give them fifty acres. The
commissioners took this land and
built the present site of Monroe. But
Air. Chancy reserved his right to
three apple trees which were located
back ol what is now the First Na
tioiial Hank. When the towu saw lit
to take up these trees Mr. Chaney
charged them twenty-live dollars for
each of them.
Monroe was named after James
Monroe, who was one of our best
pr sidents.
Monroe, according to her popula
tion, scut more soldiers to light in
the Ciwl War ihan any other place iu
.Ninth Carolina. Many of her brav
men fell in battle and others fought
through the war. During this war a
regiment of Kirkpatrick's cavalry
passed through Monroe.
Some improvements were made at
an early date. A good township
government was made, The roads
also were improved so that travel
was less difficult. A man hud cum
nutted a crime here and to punish
him he was made to build a Jail
which was made of logs. Aiany
churches and school houses were also
built. The first lire lighting uppara
tus was bought in 1886. Before this
they had had nothing but a bucket
brigade.
i ne tirst railroad through Monroe
went from Charlotte to Wilmington.
Later oilier railroad.; were built. In
lUMi our present court House was
built. Before this we used the wood
en buildmg which is still standing
and Is known ua Nash's stables.
Some of the present enterprises
which attract people to make this
their home are the three cotton mills
which require about five or six hun
dred people to operate lliem, also an
oil mill and a roller mill, both of
which require laborers. Many peo
ple woik on the railroads which run
through Monroe and make this thtir
home. And too, there are many
wholesale and retail stores In Monroe,
.1 .1.1.... i. .. t i:
thus making it a trading centre
There are other attractions here,
among them being the machine shops,
garages ice plant, laundry and
creamery. These and others are the
present attractions for the people.
Many improvements have been
made. Electricity for lighting and
manufacturing has been, brought
lure and telephone lines have been
constructed. We have also a large
and handsome postotnee building
which is located on Main Btreet. We
have built better meat markets and
cemented our sidewalks.
There are, however, many hindran
ces to Monroe s growth. The streets
which are not paved are tilled with
dust in dry weather. The people of
Monroe do not patronize their home
town as they should. If they would
do mis the place would grow more
rapidly. We need a sufficient water
supply which we have not. Monroe
being located so near Charlotte is
till another drawback to her growth.
If there were no large cities near
here. Monroe would grow in popula
tion and occupations more rapidly.
Monroe has high taxes. The people
are taxed heavy In order to run the
schools, pay off the bonds, and for
other purposes. Monroe could not
very well have street cars because
the streets are too narrow.
Some men who were once citizens
of Monroe and of whom she may well
be proud are: T. W. Bickett. who I'.
now Attorney-General of North Car
olina, and who will undoubtedly be
our next Governor, was born and
ared here; Hon. Frank Houston is
now I nited Slates Commissioner of
Agriculture; U. N. MeNeely. repre
sented this district in the Senate once
and was later appointed United Slates
Consul to Aden, but on his way he
was drowned in the Meditterauean
Sea; C. M. T. McCauley also repre
sented this district in the Slate legis
lature once. These and a few others
are Monroe's most prominent men.

Washington Dispatch. Oct. 31.
urowin ot tne country s banking
resources since passage of the Fed
eral Keserve act is put at six and one
nan ontion dollars, in a statement
issued today by the Comptroller of
the Treasury. The record Is declar
ed to be without a parallel in the
history of this or any other country.
The figures cover the period froiu
July. 1913, a few months before the
act was passed, to July, 1916, in
ciumng nearly all of the tirt two
years of the European war.
" This stupendous increase in hank
ing assets and available capital.'
says the statement, "has been ac
cumpanicd by an unprecedented
quickening which has amounted in
many cases to an outburst of bust
ness activity in every state and in
practically every part of cverv state
Coineidentally there has been a mark
ed reduction in interest charues."
The increase in resources, it is de
clared, is greater than the total re
sources of all the country's national
banks a little i.iore than a decade
ago. In New England the three
years' increase has been 21 per cent;
in the Eastern States. 32 ner cent:
in the South. 12; in the Middle
Slates, 32. and in the West 31.
Unprecedented Jump in Dc-osits,
Deposits since the Keserve Act
went into force have made an unpre
cedented jump also. Their total In
crease Is put as six and a uuarter
tmiion dollars, or 31 per cent nearly
as great as the resources increase.
In New England It was 23 per cent;
in the East. 39 per cent: the South.
IS; the Middle States. 2G; the West
37 and the I'acilic states 11 per cent.
Banks and trust companies are
lending three and a quarter billion
dollars more than they were three
years ago, the statement says.
Emphasis is laid upon a distinct
.ind growing tendency towards de
centralization and distribution
throughout the country of excessive
reserves heretofore piled up In East
ern cities.
This has been especially true dur
ing the last few months. In the
four and one-half months from May
to September 12 this year, deposits
in New York city decreased nearly
quarter of a billion dollars, in
creasing heavily meanwhile in coun
try banks.

On last Sunday evening IN v. Mr.

"Our Heavenly Father's Discipline."
which was bused upon the text. Heb.
12:10: "For our earthlv fathers
chastened us for a few days, as it
seeineti good to them; but He for
our profit, that we might be partak

discipline and traiuing which our
own fathers gave us when we were
children to that which our he.nenlv
Father gives us. The training of I ho
one is ot a very limited scope, while
tnat or our Heavenly Father has a

behind it. The discipline that our

we nave said of our life the grandest
ana tne deepest word and we have
conceived what is our Heavenlv Fmh-
ers divine plan for us. His children,
here."
"There is a will behind eveivihinc
that conies into our life and leads on
to the end. Our life is not made
up of unconnected incidents, but each
incident in the life of each one of
us is a link in a chain, and that
chain is linked with a staple that is
imbedded in the heart of God. There
is no such thing as chance, or as
some pseudo-scientists would have
us believe, a Second Cause. God is
behind and in everything. At this
time of the year we may see almost
any bright, star-lit evening meteors
flashing across the sky. They seem
to dash, helter-skelter coming from
nowhere and darting into nowhere.
And those who are ignorant think
that there are no laws governing
these bodies, but the astronomers ten
us that such meteors come and iro
according to LAW.
'Gcd corrects, guides, and train
us for a purpose. This life is an
education for the life to come. This

suffering, disappointment, sorrow.
ill-health, loss and loneliness. These
ire Cod's gifts to us by which He
intend. that we shall mend, and not
mar ourselves. These experience;
either drive us to Cod or they drive
is away from llim. Many a time-1
when a man looses his earthly pos
sessions, or wife, or loved one, or
experiences pain and suffering, he
finds his soul. Christ had to be per
fected by suffering before He could
become our High Priest and Advo
cate before the Father. Bough ore
is made into steel when it Is
Plunged into baths of hissing tears.
And heated hot with hopes and fears.
And battered with the shocks of
doom.'
Is an Instrument such as our life
thus tempered and polished by these
.l'ciplings and this education to be
thrown nway as mere rubbish Into
the void? Of course not. Thus the
mysteries' of suffering and pain and
our perplexed questionings about
these every-day experiences would
not be such great 'mysteries' if we
would only believe that there is a
loving will nnd a Father's great heart
behind it all.
"In fact as these experiences com.'
into cur lives we would be eager to
tirnl out what good there was in them
for us. There !s uu evil ill this
world except the evil tf sin. And
these so-called evils, suffering and
pain and ill-health, and so forth,
have In them nil the soul of good."
In this connection Mr. White re
ferred to "the grand, old man of
Wingate," who signs himself O. P.
Tlmist. He said that he had never
had the pleasure of meeting him,
he believed that this man was the
best illustration of his sermon he
could think of. Mr. White said:
"I believe this gentleman Is the
most pronounced illustration of the
idea in the text. I have enjoyed
reading his delightful observations
on life and the fine spirit displayed
in these truly beautiful thoughts
shows plainly to those who know and
who in part understand the Christ's
point of view that O. P. Tlmist has
found the soul of good in all the
things that have come intj his life.
More specifically, this is what I
mean: they tell me that he Is in con
rtant pain and that It is with great
effort that he is able to write at all.
But any one, as I did, who might
read one of his delightful and charm
ing news letters, would never suspect
the pain behind the pen. Such a lue
as that has come In part to partake
of His holiness, and I doubt not but
that in this man's life this is the
purpose of his Father's disciplining
hand. Oh, the beauty and the gran
deur of such a life! Yes. Indeed.
this life is but the time of school
and this world, the nursery that our
Father may prepare us for the larg
er and the grander life beyond.
Happy is he who Is wise to discover
God's purpose in his own life."

A strange story comes to the

is connected with the Lowery gang

their acts of robbery, murder and
other crimes.

It was Intimated by people in the

A few months ago a man bv the name
of Collins died in South Africa. He

found in his trunk led those who had
charge of his affairs to believe that
he was from America. The Ameri

known the facts to Washington. It

that it was Henry Collin.; who died
in far away South Africa. We are

When Henry Collins left this coun

WIsDOM AS TO WHEAT
Mr. Broom Shows Wliv Fveiv Union
County I tinner Should Sow Some
This Frill Preparation of the
ScimI lied.
Will it pay to grow wheat? This
is a question that is being asked bv
many farmers these days of high
priced Hour and in lieu of yields in
years past when almost every fann
er grew wheat and harvested from
three to ten bushels per acre, as a
rule, seven to eight bushels per acre
being a fair average. It is estimated
that it cost ten dollars to grow an
tcre of wheat, so with low yields and
cheap wheat the farmers began to
cut out wheat growing until todv a
cry small percent ol the lariuets ol
the county grow wheal. Fiiieen
years ago it was a rare thing to h.-ar
or a yield of nfly bushels of corn.
fifty bushels of oats, or a bale of cot
ton per acre. But better preparation
of the soil, improved seed, heller
fertilization, i:nd good cultural
ni' t hods have made yields of thi-i
kind common. And there are farm
ers who have been growing wheat
all these years and have increased
the yield per acre along with other
crops. If the fifteen bushel to the
acre coin land of a few years ago
would produce seven to eight burhels
of wheat, will not the forty to fifty
bushel corn land that we now have
produce twenty to twenty-five bushels
of wheat?
With flour at five dollars per sack,
and the probability of still higher
prices, we believe that every farmer
should sow a few acres to wheat. We
do not know what cotton will bo
worth next fall, but let it he as it
111. IV. aliv farmer i an liihv Iim In,. i.I
j cheaper than he can laise cotton in
j buy it even at the present rjiiun of
prices.
In growing a wheat crop the prepa
ration of the seed bed is most nn
p nan!. It i said Dial the lai mer
who plants on a poor seed bed in
vites failure, and that it usually
comes without a second invitation.
For wheat the land should he plow
ed or disced three to four inchjj deep
and harrowed and rolled until
thoroughly fine and compact. Too
much harrowing can not be done, to
use the expression of a successful
wheat grower, "Every lime you har
row you add bushels to the crop."
The farmer can well afford to give
thorough preparation to three or
four acres when thereby he may be
able to double and even ((nibble Ihe
yield. Be sure to have the seed bed
fine and compact for this is im
portant. It Is best -to put the seed
in with a grain drill, as they can be
sown at even depth, and an even
stand is assured. Ground limestone
applied at the rate of one ton per
acre before seeding and harrowed in
will be beneficial, not only to the
wheat crop, but to the following pea
crop and the soil itself. Acid phos
phate should be applied at the rate
of two to four hundred pounds per
acre, according to the land, more on
the better land. If your soil Is thin,
or you have reason to believe that
nitrogen is needed, apply a mixture
of two hundred pounds of acid phos
phate and one hundred pounds of
cotton meal ptr acre. Nitrate of
soda applied In the spring will he
beneficial. If at that time it is seen
that nitrogen Is needed, but best re
sults from nitrate of soda will be ob
tained when acid phosphate is ap
plied in the fall.
As to varieties it is Impossible to
say which is best. The old Purple
Straw Is a southern standby, but mil
lers say it does not make as good
flour as Leaps Prolific and other
larger grain varieties. All planting
seed should have the bluestone or
foimiilin treatment. ,
In conclusion we would ucain em
phasize the importance of thoroughly
nntng and compacting the seed bed.
A cloddy or puffy seed bed will not
produce a satisfactory cron. T. J.
