Mi-Tall l n I'aM Master al I be All When It Come In playing 'l.eallier Hreei-licV' anil "Arkansas Tinnier. Some of the friends of J. 1). Mc Call. aspirant for congress, are urg ing hi in to consider whether it would not help his chances of election if he were lo vary his speech-making over the disirici between now and next Monday by a little fiddle-playing. Among his accomplishments, the law yer and politician rrom Goose Creek is said lo he a past master with the fiddle and the bow, says the Charlotte Xews. Having been brought up in Goose Creek. I'nion county, where nearly everybody plays the riddle, picks the banjo or plays the mouth harp, Mr. McCall in his early youth, between hoeing cotton, feeding the pips, milk ing the rows and doing the thousand and one odd jobs that a farm boy is supposed to do, also found time to master the fiddle. Although he has never exploited (he fact, his Intimate friends have always known of his gift for music. He can while away a whole evening to the delight of his family and friends with such ancient classics as "Old Joe Clark," "Leathei Breeches," Shortenin' Bread," "Mississippi Sawyer," Arkansas Trav eler." and other tunes that have been dear to. several American generations. In this accomplishment. Mr. McCall reminds everybody of the lute Bob Tay lor, of Tenues.-ee, whom, iu fact, he resembles in many respects; for example, in his keen relish of a good story and his ability. to tell them iui initaMy. In his oitice in the Law building, the present democratic con didate for congressional honors has a large picture of Ihe Tennesse cele- tirity. ll is i.iil alone as a tiddler, however, thai the Gno-e Creek native ets away from thi beaten path. His oliice walls ate lined vviili copies of many masterpieces of paintings, mostly or htt!ntii'oas and racy episodes and trails ol Xtie'iicaii liie. One that he . writes most highly is a large reprotiuc lion ol a lamoiis cartoon ol William .i. 1! i v u si vainly trying to lend Ihe re luctant democratic donkey into the White House grounds. Mr. .McCall ditferentiales between a tiddler ami a violinist iiud says he is "a fiddler." A tiddler, according to Mr McCall. Is one who keeps lime by patting his foot and extracting sure enough melody by the skilful assimilation of horse-hair and cut-gut, while the violinist, especially if he Is addicted to wearing long hair in un Amciicun fashion, it apt to mix in a lot of physical contortions with his eiferts and then succeeds in produc ing only a medley of doubtful and dis- coid.int sounds. Mr. McCall has prom j.i i!,at, j, elected, he will consider giving a concert for the benefit of : c.iiniiai.'ii iiiiiiin-ers and inliiuate friends and will embrace iu his pro- ,j,e favorite melodies of Goose ("eel;.

IV Much to ihe ciiagi'in of the patriotic people of the town there was no effort made during ihe dute of the recent Rd Cross cam paign to continue ihe auxiliary here. It is deplorable indeed lhat this has happened as Marshville bere-io-fore has been very proud of her auxiliary and the amount of work it has ac complished since it was orgauizec. But it seems that finis is lo be writ ten upon its records, and a nourish ing little organization pass into an cient history Just at a lime when, through its parent organization. 11 would be better prepared than ever before lo be a benefit to the com munity. However those who in Hie past labored for the success of the Marshville Red Cross have the con solation of knowing that it did a good work before it came to an untimely end through lack of Interest and sup port since the close of the war. There are some here who want to join ihe Red Cross again even though our local auxiliary is no more, and we believe if our patent chapter at Monio. would send a representative here to solicit they would have many ineiiiliei-.-hips and dollars for their trouble.

His hearers agreed with him wliun lie :aid: "If the officers can't do il IhelUM'lves gel out and let someone ill who can." We can imagine what Dr. Me Allistei's opinion would be ol officers who not only did not find the source of the w hiskey themselves, but do lioi even hire a detective lo do it for ilietii.

Failing after iluee attempts lo j ;.iiil'y the peace tieuty, the Senate late Wednesday night laid it asiue, ended the special session ftnd went home. All compromise efforts to bring ratification failed, the three resolu tions of ratification all going down by overwhelming majorities. The Re publican leaders apparently despair ing of bringing two-thirds of ihe Senate together for any sort of rati fication then put in a resolution to declare the war at an end. Two of the three ratification voles were lalten on the resolution drafted by the Rep'iblic.i". majority contain ing re.-ervatiins which President Wilson had told Democrat i. Sena tors in a I'-tter earlier in t!v day would mean nu'.lifleiuioii of ihe treat;. On each of the votes most of the Democratic supporter of the treaty vo.ed against unification. Republican leader Lodge declared Wednesday's voting constituted a rliirl decision on the peace treaty itn- !(: Pi ideitt Wilson cicumvented liv tiee.ate rules hy withdrawn;: i' and then submitting it again to Cue senate. In other quarters there w;u son.e difference o! opinion, but the general sentiment reined lo be thai there was only a slender chance that the treaty would come up at the be ginning of the next session of con gress beginning next month. One effect of the senate's failure to ratify the treaty will be the continua tion of various war-time laws and regulations at least until the new ses sion opens.
