MONROE, N.G, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1918. $1.50 PER YEAR CASH. JOU MR. PRICE IX THE RACE FOR A FARE-YOU-WELL Sandy RklKe Gentleman So Informs, Journal Reporter Two Candidates! Now Out, ami the Pot BprIiw to' Simmer. Evidently ot the opinion that the "early bird catches the worm." Mr. J. X. Price stated definitely yesterday to a Journal reporter that he would be a candidate for the State Senate. This announcement causes no surprise, as it has been known that a number or prominent politicians have been urg ing the Sandy Ridge gentleman for months to make the race, and that his consent had been received. There are now two avowed candi dates! Mr. Price, and Mr. M. C. Long, who declared weeks ago that he would be a candidate to succeed him self as Register of Deeds,. There is a third gentleman, Mr. R. W. Lem mond, whom everybody takes for granted will be a candidate, but he bjisn't committed himself yet. But it f'tre are any prospective candidates for Clerk of Court thy can take it for granted that they will have the pres ent Incumbent to beat. SHE'S BOILING NOW. Folks who keep up with the polit ical talk state that the grand old state of Buford will probably have two candidates out for the Legisla ture Esq. W. A. Eubanks and Esq. Jerre C. Laney. The former has been, in several races for the legislative honor, but the latter has contented himself with the office of County Commissioner. However, at the last election Mr. Laney stated that he would never again be a candidate for Commissioner. Nobody Is more fond of mixing with the boys and playing the great American game of politics than Esq. Jerre. His friends are af ter him to run, and it Is understood that he Is considering announcing himself for the lower house. Four years ago Esq. Eubanks was in the second race for the Legislature with Esq. W. G. Long, but withdrew in favor of the old Confederate sold ier. He has been a persistent work er, and his friends claim he is enti tled to the honor this year. But not a word has come from him. Nobody knows his intentions, but The Jour nal reporter hears his name mention ed often for the place. FOWLER FOR SHERIFF It was learned today that Mr. Clif ford Fowler might make the race for Sheriff. There isn't a thing definite; it's all talk, but a number of folks are passing the word along. Mr. Fow ler has been in politics before, hav ing been elected constable of Monroe township several times. At present he is on the city police force. Mr. T. C. Lee's name Is being per sistently mentioned for Sheriff.whlle Mr. J. V. Griffith is more than likely to be a candidate to succeed himself. There are only three possible candi dates discussed, and they are the ones mentioned In the preceding par agraphs. PRICE MAY HAVE TO FIGHT The word Is being passed along that a prominent member of the Mon roe bar my make the race for the State Senate. He strictly taboos the use of his name, both privately as well as In print. However, It is a known fact that he Is "considering" running against Mr. Price. Until a few days ago the forecast was that Mr. Price would be nominated without any dp position, but recent developments, as previously stated, place a different as nect to the situation. Mr. J. CM. Vann is still "mention ed" for the Legislature, but one of his close friends stated to The Journal last week thaUhe will probably not run. This friend made the statement that Mr. Vann's law practice would not permit him to spend two months in Raleigh at the busiest season of the year. Mr. W. D. Hawfleld shares honors with Mr. Vann In Monroe as a candi date. An effort, it is said, was made four and two years ago to get Mr, Hawfleld In the race, but he didn't care to get out In politics. Monroe folks are expecting Mr. Will iemby to come out for County Com missioner. MOXEY FOR UNION COUNTY. Nearly Twenty Thousand Dollars of Uncle Sam's Coin Handed to Us on a Silver Platter Mill We Take It? Messrs. G. B. Caldwell, G. S. Lee and H. D. Stewart, Committee on Good Roads, Monroe Chamber of Com merce: Gentlemen : The State Highway Commission has allotted the sum of 118,700 to be us ed on the Wilmington-Charlotte High way In Union county provided the lo cal requirements are met The re quirements are that the county or the townships expend a like sum. Five thousand dollars of this amount has already been allotted to Marshvllle township and bonds voted to dupli cate It by the township. The road commissioners of Monroe township hare agreed to take five thousand more. This leaves It up to Vance township to decide whether it will do its part. In case the citizens of that township do not wish the road to go through their township it can be di verted so as to run through either Goose Creek or Sandy Ridge. By going through Goose Creek and con necting with the Lawyers Road and going by Stewarts Mill the route would be over tnree nuies longer ana the northern outlet from Monroe would serve a section of country which needs it. By going by Wesley Chapel .and Antloch or Prlce'a Mill and Weddington and connecting with he Providence road, the distance would be increased by three or four miles, and an equally Important sec tion of the country served. It may be that Sandy Ridge is in shape to come in at once with Monroe and Marshvllle townships. Tojs money is available as fast as actual construc tion is done, and this can be started as quickly as the local authorities make their arrangements. If it is not accepted it will be realloted to other counties. When the road is constructed the State Highway Com mission keeps it up with the fund produced from automobile taxes. I have reason to believe that if ap plication is made to the State High way Commission at once for an engin eer to be sent down there to explain fully and go into all details, one will be sent. This application slrould be made at once if I nion county wants to get this pick up money from the Federal Government and put between twenty-five and thirty miles of high way on the map and at the same time secure its permanent maintenance. As now laid out the road contains eight miles in Marshvllle township, thirteen and a half In Monroe and five In Vance. If diverted through either Goose Creek or Sandy Ridge, it would be a little longer, but of course none would be wasted for either section needs the road. Better get busy. Respectfully, Raleigh, Feb. 24. R- F. BEASLEY. MEMORIAL TO MR. IIUXDY The Business Men' Class of Metho dist Church Passes Resolution. The following resolutions were passed by the Business Men's class of Central Methodist Sunday School: Resolved bv the Business Men s Class of the Sunday School of Cen tral Methodist Church ot Monroe, N.

Germany's de clining faith in victory is described by "a well-to-do neutral medical man who lately left Germany after living in Augsburg during the war period." Writing from Berne to the Daily Mail, he dedared that though still be lievine that Germany could not be beaten, the German people had long since become war weary and had giv en up hopes of the so-called German peace. "The masses," he continued, "are in an hysterical state, one minute praying for peace at any price ana the next' under the influence of some piece of news, some well organized patriotic concert or kinematograph exhibition got up by the fatherland (annexationist! party, at which they will be shouting with applause and singing "Deutschland, Deutschland uber Alles." "The fatherland party is justly re garded by many people as the chief obstacle to peace. In Bavaria its propaganda is unceasing -and is ad vancing by leaps and bounds. The party has unlimited funds and good business men to spend the money Judiciously in cultivating the German 'will to power.' On the other hand, this junta of government officials, country squires. Ironmasters, aami- I'als, and big manufacturers exercises an odious tyranny on all the people dependent on it. Woe betide the vil lage constable, the concierge, the fac tory hand, or the agricultural labor er underling who dares refuse nis monthly gift to the fatherland party's funds. "As for all the fuss about demo cratization, I think It is mostly moon shine, manufactured for the benefit of the romantically inclined Eng lish radicals. There is discontent simmering up and down the country, but to quiet it a pound of butter a week would go farther than any pro mise of political reform. The riots that take place In the towns from time to time are the work of women whose husbands have long been away in the field and who have got out of hand. Mobs of half grown lads run wild and get Into mischief, and worse than mischief. "In Bavaria the emperor and Ber lin never popular, are now less popu lar than ever. Bavarians ,are unmov ed by William's choice of vonHertling as chief adviser. It von Hertling had been a Bavarian born, they say, per haps there might have been some thing in It. but he Is a Hessian. In Bavaria, as elsewhere, the emperor has been completely overshadowed by Hindenburg, who to the average Ger man Is the war Incarnate, and what ever there is great and glorious about him Is putting the emperor and the royal princes entirely in the shade. On the other hand. Hindenburg came with the war and will go with the war. In Bavaria and elsewhere the dynastic sentiment is so strong that nothing can root It out. "I consider that, however the war ends, whether the German empire continues to hold together offlcally or not afterwards, the result will be an enormous intensification of separatist feeling Mn the various constituent states. "As regards the food position, I should say that it Is only acute for people of email means. They are the only ones who suffer the pangs of real hunger, especially the small officials, the police, the schoolmasters, the ministers of religion, and people liv ing on small salaries or annuities oi savings. "It Is generally recognized In Ger many that German prisoners of war In British hands have been well treat ed, and the impression Is now begin ning to get abroad that the treatment of British prisoners has not always been what It might." NOTHING FOR RUSSIA TO DO BUT OBEY THE GERMANS Lenlne Says Teutons Have Their Knee on Their Breasts, and Must Bend to Their Will. Petrograd. Feb. 24. "Their knees are on our chest and our position Is hopeless," declared Nikolai Lenlne, the Bolshevik! premier, in the course of his long speech to the central ex ecutive committee of the all-Russian council of workmen's and soldiers' delegates In which he Insistently urg ed the acceptance of the Austro-Ger-man peace conditions however op pressive and unfortunate they may appear. "This peace must be accepted as a respite," he continued, "enabling us to prepare a decisive resistance to the bourgeolse and Imperialism. The proletariat of the whole world will come to our aid. Then we shall re new the fight." Mexican Bandit Killed American Washington, Feb. 25. One Ameri can was Killed and two more wound ed 4n an attack by Mexican bandits on an oil boat at Tamplco Saturday. The names of the Americans were not Included In the brief report of the Incident received today by the state department. Officials, however, regard the Inci dent as a case of robbery rather than an outburst of anti-American feeling. The boat attacked was carrying money probably In the Panuco river or one of the inland lagoons. So far as known, the bandits were not con nected with any of the military forces. The government has called the Inci dent to the attention or the Mexican government EXCESS AMOUNTS FLOUR MUST ' RE RETURNED BY MARCH 8th Following Instructions From Mr. Page, County KmkI Administrator U-e Griffin Makes This Ruling. County Food Administrator Lee Griffin, after allowine a reasonable time for the return of all flour in ex-1 cess ot one barrel, 'announces that this flour must be returned by March! 8th, otherwise violators must take the consequences. Mr. Griffin's statement follows: "All consumers in Union county having on hand more than one bar rel of flour will return the same to the merchant from whom It was bought and they will refund the money paid for it la full. The time In this county has been extended to March 8th, owing to the condition of the roads and the extreme weather conditions. Parties returning flour w ill report to me when it has been returned as the Food Administration Is keeping a detailed account of all flour purchased and what has been returned. "This order is not my own, but it is following the instructions of the State Food Administrator and any violations of his orders will be pun ishable by a fine of $5,000 or two years Imprisonment or both, together with the confiscation of the flour. It is my earnest desire that Union coun ty shall be classed as the leading county In the state In the manner that its patriotic citizens comply with the various orders of the officials In charge of the government. "I trust that every one who has flour on hand will consider this no tice sufficient and not demand that the machinery of the government be set in action because they have not received personal written Instructions to that effect." AMERICANS RORX FLYERS The European Instructors Marvel at Their Skill Some Fatalities. rllna. Texas. Feb. 23 The Amer lean youth has a natural aptitude for flvlne. It was revealed and Is being developed in seven aviation training stations In Texas and, during the winter, fivers have been turned out from them with a nroficlencv and in numbers that have fully satisfied the American officers and have proveu al most startling to instructors irom me Allied armies who are here to Rive the Americans tne advantage or tneir ex net-fence and knowledge. There are six American and one British aviation stations in the state The American canms are at Fort Worth. San Antonio, Houston, Waco Dallas and Wichita Falls. At Fort Worth, the Royal Flying Corps, a camp of young Canadians, trained by British officers, are in daily compe tition with the Americans in an ad ioinlne camo. A eoodly number of vounK Americans also are enlisted with the Canadians and are receiving their training under the direction of RHtlnh officers. A regard for military secrecy pro hibits relating the total numner or students who have taken to the air hern this winter. It reaches a figure that gives great comfort to the mili tary men who know, and comparea with the total advancement made by the men. the number of accidents re ported has been Burpi lslngly small, It is stated. INEVITABLE CASUALTIES From all seven camps, a total of 38 men have been killed in airplane accidents up to early in February. The British flyers at Fort Worth have lost far more than any of the Ameri can camps. The high raianty recora nninnr the British, it is said, is the direct result of the more strenuous system of practice and drill which thev use. Twenty-six deaths nave oc curred at the two camps at Fort Worth, while Houston, next in the list, has had six. Thev kill more at Fort Worth be cause they fly more." is the way a young' aviation officer expiainea tne great difference In the mortality lists. The British theory is that the men should receive early Instructions In all the difficult work they will have to do In actual service, while the American trainers spend a larger part of their time in drilling tne lunoa mentals of flvlne. The young Cana dlans go Into the air early for flights that are forbidden in the camps un itr T'nlted States control. They are taught the spirals, the dives and the loops that are a part or actual war flying, and so it is that If their mor tality list seems out of proportion to thnss In the other raniDS. the British officers are not displeased with the accomplishments of the men under them. The San Antonio station has had three fatalities. Dallas. Waco and Wichita Falls one each. Waco and wiehita Falls had nerfect records un til the week ending February 2, when at Waco a pilot was killed In a col lision with another machine in mid air, and a cadet at Wichita Falls lost his life when his machine fell. HOW SOME ACCIDENTS HAPPEN Several of the killed have been plvlllnns or mechanics. In the early days of the American camp at Fort Worth, a mechanic was struck by a propeller when the engine back-fired. There was a similar accident only re cently when a college student, exam ining an airplane which had landed on the campus of the Texas Christian fniwe. eot too near the nrooeller. He was struck on the head and kill ed almost Instantly. At Denton, Tex., tlv an avlatnr fmm Port Worth stopped In a flight and was persuaded intn tflklnc a rivlllan an a nasseneer. The airplane had hardy cleared the around, when trouble came. The plane crashed, killing the civilian and injuring the aviator. An aviator from Ellington Field, Houston, recently ran out of gasoline a short distance from Bay City and telephoned for fuel. An automobile mechanic who brought the gasoline persuaded the pilot to take him for a ride, and an accident resulted, the plane falling when only a few, hun dred feet In the air. The mechanic was killed and the aviator injured. The San Antonio field is said to be the largest in Texas. Ballon obser vation is taught there in addition to flying. The students are mostly men from the signal corps. This city soon will have two fields. Love Field, the camp now establish ed, and a' larger one already under construction at the State Fair Grounds, which have been loaned the Government for training purposes. This will be named Camp Dick, in honor of the first and only aviator killed at Love Field. It will be used chiefly as a preparatory school for ground training." STRICT VIGILANCE There Is a rigid ban against visitors at all caniDS. At Love Field a visitor caught with a camera was held until all the negatives were deveiopea ana showed that nothing of a prohibited nature had been pictured. An unexpected effect of the fre quent presence in the air of the fly ing machines has been tne almost, to tal disappearance or biras rrom me neighborhood of the camps. ud doves which have heretofore been common flying in flocks In Northern Texas, are never seen within miles or a camp, and in their northward spring flights the game birds, the ducKS ana geese are conspicious by their absence from the skies about Fort Worth In particular. The boys In the Urttisn camp nave made much progress during the warm winter, so different from the snows of the Canadian winter, and are In the air almost constantly. Scarcely a passenger train enters Forth Worth but it is welcomed by an airplane or so. and flights to the city from tne camp, 4U nines away, ior soriai im poses are made every day. THE HIGHWAY THROUGH THIS TOWNSHIP WILL BE BUILT Mimev From . State Auto Tax W III Supply the Funds, Says Mr. Y. Henderson. The long ... talked of Wilmington Charlotte highway through Union county will be worked this year states Mr. F. G. Henderson, a member or the State Highway Commission. This road will be worked under the super vision of an engineer furnished by the highway commission and by mon ey secured from the auto tax. Thir ty per cent of the money collected by the State for automobile licenses goes to pay the expenses of the State high way commission while the other sev enty per cent Is returned to the coun ties to be used in building good roads. Union will get about $2000 and with this the highway will be worked, says Mr. Henderson. The road commissioners of Mon roe township have agreed to do the team work, ditching and hauling, un der the supervision of the engineer furnished by the highway commis sion and Mr. Henderson is of the opiulon that Marshvllle township had agreed to do this also, leaving only one township through which the road passes which has not agreed to this Vance. When this road Is put In good con condition It will be of great benefit to Monroe and the other sections it goes through. Connecting two of the principal cities of the State it will be much traveled In summer by tourists from the Piedmont country going to the beach and with people from around Wilmington going to the mountains. Thus it can be seen that it will mean added trade for all the towns through which it passes. Wants to Keep His Family Together During War. . Camp Javkson, S. C, Feb. 22. Declaring t,hat he wanted to keep the family together, Charles E. Doran, of Milan, Tenn., and his two stalwart sons, Charles E. Doran, Jr., and Don ald D.

X1VEX Plaintiff Plead Gambling Statute Mr. Pike Must Pay KI5U to Mr. and Mrs. Minor Melton. Mr. J. E. Thomas of Marshville. won his cotton futures' case againi Mr. C. A. Niven, who contracted in the early summer of last year to de liver him ten bales of cotton in tho fall at 20 cents. When tha market became bullish, the defendant felt that he couldn't afford to turn over 28 cents cotton for 20 cents. Mr. Niven plead the gambling statute. He claimed that the bargain he made with Mr. Thomas didn't stipulate an actual transaction, but each was to pay the other the differ ence In the set price and the market price. The court, however, held that it was a businss proposition pure and simple, and Mr. Thomas won out. Mr. and Mrs. Minor Melton, who were badly injured last summer when their horse became frightened at an auto truck being driven by Mr. Tom Price, son of the defendant. Mr. T. J. Price, were awarded $475. Mr. Price was responsible only because he was the owner of the truck, and his son being in his employ. He was not even in the car. but the law held him re sponsible for the damages. COURT HUMOR Some very unusual thing3 have happened during this court, said an old times this morning. First, one of the Monroe attorneys in arguing a case involving the ownershrlp or a few tools, concluded his argument to the jury in an hour and a half!; second, Mr. Bill Rowell of Goose Creek, was both a witness and a Juror in court this morning.
