From the light above, ropes of yellow ribbon dropped to the corners of the table and a shower of hearts was suspended by a bow of yellow maline from the light. On the table candles were burning, and the letters "XI. M.C. G. Dec." were discovered traced on the cloth In white mints. This revealed the se cret which came as a complete sur prise to alt present.

To the Editor of The Journal: I feel Impelled by a sense of duty to express a few thoughts on the sub ject of democracy, that is so new and dear to our hearts and lives. I will especially make an earnest appeal to our three hundred and fifty thousand ! women In North Carolina that have I been recently enfranchised to man ipulate their golden opportunities. and gladly accept their God-given responsibilities, and do all In their favor to assist in - perpetuating de- mnrYnrv hv urrin? the women that live In towns and communities that are not in teres tea ia register in oraer to be prepared to vote for the great issue that confronts democracy. Our President has suffered untold agonies to establish a Treaty of Peace na tional and International. However, they may persecute or malign Wood row Wilson as they may, but the glory of his greatness will reign eternally. The womanhood of the old North State was loyal to every demand during the war and we feel sure they will honor our Southland on the day of election. We hear the Macedonian cry from over the seas, and our brave soldier boys that sleep on Flanders Field. Will we be loyal to their cry? And ere the dawn of the second of November, the winds of heaven will echo and re-echo over land and seas: Peace on earth; de mocracy has won. Mrs. E-M. Griffin. A LA HA MA FARMERS WAItX EI) NOT TO GATHER THEIR CHOI'S Night ltlders Kay If Order Is Not Obeyed They Will Destroy Crop Reward Ottered. Farmers In northern Alabama, where several ginneries and mercan tile establishments have been fired recently, have been warned that 1C they attempt to pick their cotton while the staple Is selling for less than forty a pound It will be de stroyed in the fields. This new de velopment In the attempts of night rldets to keep cotton off the market while It Is bringing less than what many planters term the cost of pro duction, ha fceei MEied to Conrad W. Austin. Alabama law enforce ment officer, by State Fire Marhsall W. J. Williams, who Is Investigating fires In the Haucevllle section. Warnings which continue to be re ceived by gin operators and business men ordering them to close their es tablishments have been brought of ficially to the attention of the au thorities and the governors of several states have received appeals for pro tection. Governor KIlby, of Alabama, has announced that the state would pay a teward of two hundred and fifty dollars for the arrest and conviction of any one implicated in Ihe destruc tion of property and the Morgan county branch of the American cot ton association at a meeting yester day In Albany voted a reward of two hundred clollnr3 for the conviction ol any person guilty of such acts in Morgan county. The night riders clso have been active in Georgia and the receipts by gin operators at Toccoa of warn ings that their plants would be de stroyed if they did r.ot close down for sixty days has resulted In the poRting of armed gu .rds about theit premises with Instructions to shoot to kill If an attempt U made to curry out the threat. The American cot ton oil company and the city council of Ellavill Jointly have offered a re ward of three hundred dollars for the arrest and conviction of persons who attempted Friday night to fire the Ellaville gin operated by the cor poral inn. In Jasper county four gins and stores at Karrar and two gins at Broughton have been posted, the night riders threatening to deHttoy them If they do not close until cotton reaches forty cents. Activities of the night riders are widespread, warnings having been re ceived also in Texas. Arkansas and South Carolina. Several gins In Texas have been destroyed after their owners had Ignored warnings to close down and gins in Anderson county, South Carolina, are operating with armed guards about the plants. Authorities Investigating the situ ation believe the threats and fires are the result of activities of local unor ganized bands only, notwithstanding that warnings received In widespread localities Lear the signature of "the black 75" and "the citftens of every where."

Liberty Loan speakers and directors will join the American Legion in a fitting cele bration of armistice day. Thursday, Nov. 11, according to Post Command er Robert S. Howie and Post Adju tant Olln McManus; who. assisted by several committees, are arranging the program for the occasion. Tent ative plans call for a big parade, in which all patriots will participate; an address by the best orator procurable, a foot ball game, athletic carnival, and a big street dance around the square at night. . A big dinner will be prepared for all soldiers; and the town will be "wide open" for the occasion, so Mayor Sikes has promised. Every business man in the county is urged to close for the day in order to join In the celebration of the day on which Germany capitulated to America and her allies. To this end. the follow ing resolution was passed at a meet ing of the Melvln Deese Post Friday night: "The Melvln Deese Post of the American Legion, In session October 9, de resolve: "1. That, whereas hundreds of Union county boys served their coun try in time of peril, several of whom made the supreme sacrifice; and whereas the State of North Carolina has declared November 11th, the day of the signing of the armistice, a le gal holiday, we call upon the city and county officials, the schools, mer chants, bankers and profesional men to observe it as such In commemor ation of the dead. "2. Resolved further that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the local newspapers and the merchants and business men of the town of Mon roe." The street dance will be one of the attractive features of the occasion. All four streets leading by the court house will be roped off, the band will be stationed on the square, and both young .and old will dance the old 'steps, such as the Virginia Reel, the old fashioned waltzes, and the barn dances. None of the modern dances, such as the "shimmy," and the "bunny-hug" will be tolerated. The various committees for the celebration appointed by Comamnder Howie are composed of the following ex-service men: Parade Dr. S. A. Alexander, B. F. Eubanks and Tom Price; dinner John Beaaley, Gilliam Craig, Dr. S. A. Alexander and Paul Griffith; speaker Glllam Craig, Geo. Lee and Louie Hart; athletics Jas. Holms, R. S.

K.itchford's SlMer Oldest to Register. (From ihe Gastonia Gazette.) Until further claimants for the hono; arise, GaMon county boasts of registering tho oldest woman in the dale so far reported. Her name Is "Aunt Mary" Ratehford of the Union section, and she Is 95 years old. 'Granny" Ratehford, as she Is known throughout Gaston county, comes of a family distinguished for their lon gevity. She is a sister of Rev. W. W. Katchford of Waxhaw, distingu ished for his acidities even though far past the !)0-year mark. "Granny" Ratehford Is unusually active and spry lor her age. She taki-s an active interest In all current events. Two years ago she had the misfoitune to fall and break her hip. but she has entirely recovered. Lust summer she took a long trip to Wax (haw and the next day attended a big picnic at Tirzah, entering wholeheart .edly Into the attractions of the day. She Is a democrat of democrats. ,The days of '67 and 1900 are too fa- miliar to her, she says, to allow her to vote any other way than the detn- Monroo Doctors Won. The baseball games between the Monroe and Charlotte doctors Friday arternoon ended In a score of 16 to 11 In favor of the local medicos. The attendance at the game was large, $200 having been realized for the hospital. 111 of which represented a contribution from the visiting physi cians. The event created much in terest; and the sportsmanship of the visiting doctors eleclted much favor able comment. Community Meetings. To the Editor of The Journal: The following are the community meeting appointments for this week: Wednesday, Wesley Chapel; Thurs day, Olive Branch; Friday, College Hill; Monday, Union; and Tuesday, Jerome. The attendance has been falling off In some communities. Remember the winter months when you will be glad of the pictures so near you. Come so you can keep the work in your community. If the committee will see that there is wood on the school yard the school bouse will be comfortable. Lura Heath.

BETBUNE "FAITH HEALER" IS KINDLY, HARMLESS FELLOW SOME REPORTS HAVE IKIXE HIM A GREAT 1XJISTICE Mineral Springs CorreHpondent Con tinue the Dtwuniion oa Snakes and Their Ways. Mineral Springs. R. F. D. No. 1, Oct. 11. Those who write of the "faith doctor" hardly do him justice. He keeps no pistol handy; he does not line up the patients, but goes from car to car administering his remedy or prescribing It. Some have pictured him as a rough, red-eyed "sand hiller," but In truth he is kind looking, brown eyed, face ruddy, his form slightly bent, and when he speaks it Is usually In a low tone. He never waits for pay after prescribing his remedy, but walks rapidly away. I do not believe he has power to af fect cures, but this does not prevent me from picturing him as he really is. That Charlotte man, who contrib uted a column about snakes In the Charlotte Observer and The Journal, appears to be "stumped" on his fa vorite study. I have seen snakes, handled snakes, and studied them for twenty years, and It may be that some of my observations can extri cate him from his dllema. The moth er snakes neither transports or sup ports her young, as he believes. I have killed the mother snake and part of the young, and then passing the same spot a few days later, kill ed the rest of her brood. All snakes propagate by eggs. I have seen sev eral kinds of snake eggs but to my knowledge I have never seen a rat tler's egg. They bury their eggs In soft earth, preferrably where the ground Is not wet. The length of In cubation is less than sixty days, and since the habits of snakes are not of a roaming nature, they are nearby when the young emerge from the eggs. "Only the venomous snakes, the rattler, water moccasin, and "pilate," accompany their young. The early spring is the usual mating season, de spite the testimony of those Lincoln county workmen mentioned In "M's" article. Neither do I believe snakes lie in a stupor during the winter months. Of course, during cold spells they may become numb, but a little sunshine restores thetrr td"tTie'ir ' vigor and activity. I have seen them lying in front of their dens In winter ready for a frolic or a fight. Toads' bull frogs, and terapins also hiber nato in the winter. As to the fight between the king snake and the rattler, In which the king enake rushed Into the woods each time after being struck to re turn chewing some weed. I doubt very seriously. In the first place a snake eats nothing but live Insects, positively refusing to subsist on veg etable matter. Then the enake, be ing of the fish tribe, Is covered with scales that protect It from the bites and slings of poisonous animals and insects. These years of observation have convinced me that there are no "good snakes." Even the peklng snake, of which "M" spoke so high ly, will crawl from your rat infested barn and crush a half dozen young chickens to death in a single night, or rob an old field sparrow's nest of its young. A sparrow will devour more harmful Insects In a year than a snake would in a life time. Prof. W. L. Motes moves to Min eral Springs this week, and the com munity Is already experiencing pangs of regret at his forthcoming depart ure. The teacherage will be vacant this winter. We regret to h am that Mr. Gr.idy Plyler, who is in a Charleston hos pital, is not improving. Mr. R. S. Stewart and his mother, Mrs. Harvey Stewart, spent a few days with relatives at Cheraw. Cotton gins are opening up. but not doing much business. The peo ple are at last awake to the "hold a bale" movement and fully half of the crop will be held In this section unless the price goes up considerably. Mr. D. F. Sapp arrived home from Boston, Mass.. last week after a six weeks stay with his daughter, Mrs. Anne Patterson. Mr. Snpp spent a few days with his daughters at Statesville and Victoria. Va. He says he had the finest trip of his life. Mr. Ellison Baker held the first corn shucking in this section this year. Mr. Edmond Armond of Oklahoma is visiting relatives in this section. Xlr. and Mrs. J. S. Hayes and Mes dames Mary Hayes and Alice Funder burk spent Saturday and Sunday at Cassett visiting relatives. Mrs. James Hayes has been right sick again but we are glad to say she is better. Sheriff Griffith and His Texas Friend. Sheriff John Crlfftth, who attended the confederate reunion at Houston, Texas, last week, came across many interesting characters, but the one whom ha win alwava remember was a Texas farmer from the southern part of the state, in a conversation with him ih. sheriff learned that the had hMn harvested. In explanation, the Texan said: "The pickers charged us IZ a nunarea, and the staple that they gathered was so full of bolls and briars mat oogs rf ii moA in ml ke their bed on Diles of it. So when the pickers struck for 13 a hundred we turnea our cus into the fields." The higher type of man Is one who acts before he speaks, and professes only what he practices. Rev. William Mack Lee Robert E. Lee's Cook, a Monroe Visitor DILLON'S LETTER TO OHIOAX "We Feed Your Hay to Our Old Ox, and lou l ute for Cos, He Urge. While a patient at Battle Creek. Mich., sanatorium two years ago. Mr. T. P. Dillon and F. M. Teeter of Keuo, Ohio, conceived quite a liking for each other, a friendship which has since been kept alive by frequent exchanges of letters. In a recent epistle. Mr. Dillon's Ohio friend ask ed him not to forget Harding, adding that "he and Cox live but forty miles from me." Knowing that Mr. Teeter was a big hay farmer, Mr. Dillon re plied to him as follows: "We'll not forget your candidate at voting time November 8. we ll feed your hay to our old ox, and you go on and vote for Cox." As Spanish Senoril (By CONSTANCE DREXEL in tht Philadelphia Public Ledger.) About the loneliest girl in America today is Maria Louisa Garcla-Dorado, who has Just arrived from sunny Spain to study at Bryn Mawr. She Is lonely because she is far away from ber home in Madrid and also because she has no vote. In broken English she said yesterday: "We heard the news when the American women received the right to vote just the same as the men. Since then we have had more talk of woman suffrage In Spain because the Spanish women admire the Amer ican women and think they are chic. We think American women seeem to be able to have everything In life, but Spanish women, they are slow. "What do they do with their tinieT" I asked her. "Oh, they sew a leetle, they make the cooking a leetle " i "Do they do athletics, play at ten nis, like the girls you will see here?" "Oh, no," and here Senorlta Dora do of the large limpid dark eyes rolled them upward in astonish ment. "They see the sport. They look at the bull-fight and clap their j hands." I This Spanish girl Is one of the first foreign students to arrive in this country on the new plan of exchange of students between America and Euro yean countries. . . ShevJs twenty-three years old and aueauy nas a aegree rrom me u ni versity of Madrid. She Is to take graduate courses In her specialties, Greek and Latin, not omitting the learning of English. She has already taught the classic languages In a high school in Madrid. Perhaps that Is why she looks older than her years. She was dressed in forlorn black and her black hair was bobbed. Her mourning garb, still showing the ef fects of the Journey, was accounted for by the death of her father, a professor In the University of Salamanca. She herself has been studying hard since she was ten years old. Al ready her little figure Is frail and bent. She would have fitted into the Latin Quarter, but was an oddity in the quiet, sunlit campus with sleepy hills beyond the college campus awaiting the merry hundreds of American girls to bring It life ana movement. "Is this the village?" asked the senorlta as we walked along. "Not all these are buildings of the univer sity? No, that cannot be. In my country we have nothing like tills." Asked to describe some things of her far-off country, she said: "We have the murders like what happened in the Wall street. No, they do not kill so many nor damage ro much at one time. But in my country no capitalist Is Rafe. One in 'lot in Cadiz, then one at Salamanca mid about the same time one at Barcelona. We do not call them bol shevlsts. those who do these things. They are the crimlnis-syndicallsts, but we know they are Influenced by the doctrines of Moscow. "Tho king, he is popular," she con tinued. "But not the queen. She Is a foreigner, and the people think she Is haughty," 'accompanying the spoken word with an expressive shrugging of the shoulders and lift ing of the chin. "We used to hear only of South America in Spain, but now we hear more and more of the United States In North America. We think it was America who finished the war suc cessfully for the Allies," she said. Whittling It Down! A ninrv of our naval officers who were aboard the British monitor Ter ror at the bombardment of Ostend is told In Capt. Evans" book Keeping the Seas. During the firing, a fifteen inch nhell from one of the German shore batteries fell two hundred yards or so from the ship. One of the American officers, see ing the huge splash made by the falling shell, turned to the first lieu tenant and said: "How far do you think that shell fell from the ship?" "About forty yards." replied the lieutenant. ' The two American officers looked at one another and then back to the lieutenant, who began to feel that he had much underestimated the dis tance from the danger. nut he was soon nut at his ease. for the younger American said: "I viikm that will have whittled down to five yards before I get home to Pbiladelpbia.' The high cost of living has been so well advertised that some people are ashamed to admit they're living with in their Incomes. Distinguished Old Darkey Is Pastor of Norfolk Baptist Church "This is a white man's country," declared Kev. William Mack Lee.Gen- eral Robert E. Lee's cook and per 'sonal body-guard during the Civil War, while in Monroe a few minutes I yesterday. He was on his way to hit heme at Norfolk, Virginia, where he is pasior oi a targe negro Baptist church, from the reunion at Hous ton, Texas. "The only time," he continued, "when the negro and the white men are on an equal plane It when the 'possum is roasted and the 'taters are ready. After the feast U over they fall back into thels natural places." On the breast of the distinguished old darkey, who is beloved by the entire Southland, resposed twelve or fifteen medals which had been be stowed upon him for his loyalty and care of the great Confederate leader, and In his pockets he Jingled five hundred dollars, contents of a purse presented to him at Houston. Al though eighty-five years of age, 'IMarse Robert's" cook is well-preserved for his age, stands five feet eleven Inches in his barefeet, is as straight as an arrow, and he Is the possessor of a kindly, but sad face. He sports a Van Dyke beard, which like his hair. Is grey. "My little Marsters," he remark ed, "tried to kiss me at Houston, but I wouldn't let 'em." He was refer ring to the descendants of Robert E. Lee. "They certainly treats this old man grand," he added. In conversation with Mr. W. M. Gordon, who rode with him to Ham let. Rev. Mack Lee said: "For four years I was Marse Robert's oook and personal body-guard. 1 cooked what little food I could secure for him; looked after his personal wants, and was ever ready to defend him from harm. After the war he gave me eight hundred dollars with which -to educate myself, and I attended Washington t Lee University for eight years. Then I went Into the government postal service, working In this department of the government until retired with a pension. My old STTgaw," Mrs. Hobert E. Lea. left me five thousand dollars In her will." The old cook showed Mr. Gordon several letters which he had received from the Governors of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Ken tucky, and from other notable South ern figures. With him. Rev. William Lee had the Confederate flag which he carried In the parade at Houston, When tho Telephone Was New. An Interesting experience of hit was once told me by Alexander Gra ham Bell In the early days of the telephone, says Mr. William W. Ells worth in A Golden Age of Authors. At the time of the Centennial Ex position In 1876 he was Invited to go to Philadelphia and exhibit his new Invention at a meeting of men of science. He was inclined not to ac cept, but the lady who has so often helped him and who was then his fi ancee she Is now Mrs. Bell insisted on his going, lent him money, took him in a carriage witn an assistant and all the necessary paraphernalia jto the station in Boston and started , him on his way. j In Philadelphia a wire was put up .that reached about a mile, and on ithe evening of the test the assistant 'was placed at the other end. The I most distinguished man of science oresent was asked to speak Into the j strange-looking received. It was Sir j William Tomason, afterwards Lord Kelvin. Ho hemmed and hawed, while the audience waited for the words of wisdom that would come from his lips; then he said. "Hey, jdiilille, diddle, tne rat ana ine naaie ! ' Finish that." He waited a 'moment, then exclaimed. "'The row 'jumped over the moon:' He said It!" There was great applause. The telephono was a success. Spoken 'words had been heard and a ques tion answered at the distance of a mile. I When Prof. Bell met his assistant he said to him, 'Could you hear Sir William Thompson plainly?" "I did not near mm at an. "Not hear him at all? What did you say?" "I said, 'Please repeat! please re peat" " .... I That was all that Had reen saia in replv to Sir William. The ques tion Is: Did Sir William think he j heard "The cow Jumped over the moon?" or, like the gentleman he was, wishing to mi'.:e a young Inven- tors experiment a success, uiu no merely say he heard it? Ordering ' Family Around. That raw recruits are sometime not so raw as their captains think is proved by an incident that took place In the Philippine Islands while the .Fifteenth Cavalry was stationed there. A recruit was on sentry duty Tor the first time, and the officer of the day, with his wife, hit daughter end his dog. was passing. The sentry called, "Who goes there?" The captain replied promptly, "Capt. Jones, wife, daughter and pup." . The recruit hesitated only an In stant and then said curtly. "Captain, advance and be recognized! Wife and daughter, mark time! Pup, at ease!" Most sermons are not as broad at they are long.
