NUMBER 41 Rebels Gain Another Victory, Juarez, Mexico, April 14.-A Dine days' battle, possibly more desperate than that at Gomez Pa lacio and TorreoD; has resulted in a victory to the rebels under Gen. Francisco Villa, accotding' to an official report made public here late today. Ibe combined rebel force came upon the reunited Federals, - said in the last days of the battle to y,ave numbered 15,000 a,t San Pe dro de las Oolinias, State of Coa hujla,40 miles east of Torreon. Killed and wounded on both sides, it is said, will number in the neighborhood of 3,000. The rebels claimed to have taken 700 prisonsrs. The Federal Army is said to have included the Tor reon garrison, led out of that eity in retreat by General Velasco, those of General Maas, General Hidalgo, General De Moure and two others. Mexico Must Salute Us. Washington, April 14 Presi dent Wilson today ordered virtu ally the entire Atlantic . fleet to Mexican waters to force a public salute to the Stars and Stripes from the Huerta Government as an apology for the arrest of American marines at Tarnpico last Thursday. Coming Back From Canada. Washington Post. "If you ask the Canadians they will tell you that American farmers are emigrating into their territory ia great numbers and that none who has gone into the Dominion ia returning to the United States," remarked Henry A; Fairton,-of Topeka, Kan., at the Willard, "The fact is, and it can be proved by the statistics of the immigration efface of either country, I believe, that while the preponderance oi immigration is on the side of Can ada the difference in the number of of those who have left the United States, and those wha have come across the border into this country ia less than 25,000. To be exact, the number of Americans who Lave left this country lor Canada in the last six years is 618,000, whereas, 594,000 Canadians have moved to the United States. "A few years ago the allurements held out by the Canadian immi gration agents attracted many of our Western farmers. Diisatisfac tion among Americans who have hold their farms and gone into the Dominion has accompanied many. "It is doubtless true that lands can be purehased in Canada much cheaper than in the United States, and the tremendous increase in firm values has undoubtedly caused many of our farmers to sell out and move to Canada, but bo soon as they have found that the laud values in their own country have increased more rapidly than in Canada they have come back home. "To my mind it is far more im portant to consider the extraordin ary sum of money that has been Seated in Canadian industries. According to the figures there is floleas than $636,900,000 ot Ameri can money invested inlhe Domin ioa." Poor Old Buzzard. ProiresaiAe Farmer. Mississippi is the latest State to outlay the disease-carrying buz zard. Heretofore this State has tookel upon the buzzard as a ben eficial scavenger, to be protected 7 law- But an enlightened pub he opinion has finally, put the buz ard where it belongs, and as a re BQtt the Legislature has repealed the lav that has protected a dis use carrier that has borne the 8ame relation to the transmission of aog cholera as has the house fly tae transmission of typhoid to fc&inan beings. Other States please lae notice. a uai utile if uiu uucy. Yes, wives have been talking about it all these years that little word "Obey" that is sometimes used when we promise "for better or for worse, and to use it or not to use it has no doubt puzzled many a good minister when called upon to perform the ceremony uni ting men and women in holy wed lock. Many of us who long have crossed the border line, and long lost sight of the word with relation to our specific ceremony, are not interested in the form at all at least in a direct, personal way. but for the sake of peace and har mony in the families of the land we are interested. Declaring that this simple little word has always been a stumbling block in the mar riage service, and served to point many a joke, the editor of the Presbyterian Standard, himself a minister with first-handed infor mation and experience, after giving the history of the rise aud fall of the world, end by declaring in favor of its being discarded. He says in closing his brief discourse on this matter: 4 f A good woman is going to obey as far as she ean do so and preserve her self respect, and one not good is not going to do so, however much she may have promised. For these and other reasons we would like to see the word omitted from the service." This shows decided progress in a reform many are boldly standing standing lor. Does it mark the beginning of the end! Yadkin Valley Herald. Who Is To Feed The Convict's Family? When a young husband and father commits an awful crime and is sent to the penitentiary for thirty years, the State may hire him out for $1 .00 a day and thus put more than nine thousand gold dollars into the State treasury. What about his wif i and chil dren? If the wife has no home and no money to buy one, we may ex peet her soon to break down in trying to feed, clothe and shelter those children. They ought to have a part of the nine thousand dollars. Let the Legislature re quire county commissioners to look into such cases. A. D. Betts in Christian Advocate. Check Your April Cough.

We learnpd yesterday that the Triangle Orchards near Poors Knob irielded about 1,600 bushels of ap pies last season which are, or mucn nf them at least, now being put up . on the market. Mr. Earnest Sloop of Moravian Falls constructed the concrete apple house which is 30 by 40 feet by 6 feet high and has so well succeeded in keeping the fruit to this late time in the season that five persons sorting one whole day found less than or only about a bushel of rotted fruit.-Wilkes Hustler. . Nothing So Good For A Cough Or Cold. When you have a cold you want the best medicine obtainable so as to get rid of it with the least possible delay.

Shakespeare said there is noth ing much in a name, but he was not a politician and didn't know everything. Anyhow, a new par ty is obliged to have a name Bull Moose, Populist, etc. and so it is necessary to provide one for the party of Josiah William Bailey, Poe and Alexander. To forecast the future, we must study history, and turning to the most famous civil revolution in history as the logical lesson, we find the name of "The Bump Par liament" applied to the Oliver Cromwell crowd in 1648 after they had exeused the old gang from further attendanee. Hence the new organization in North Carolina is to be knowc as "The Eump Party." Hats off to it, gentlemen, and its ticket com posed of Bailey for Boss, Poe for Governor and Alexander for Com missioner of Agriculture. Tnere are only three certain things about the Bump party at this time, and they are that they will succeed in murdering the Pro gressive movement and the Farm ers' Union and will furnish the Republicans with all the campaign thunder they want. The Hump Convention can not be considered anything else but an admission on the part of all who are responsible for it, that the Democratic party in this State is incompetent. It is the rottenest egg that has been thrown in North Carolina politics in a long time. Madison Herald, (Democratic.) Rather Late. Greensboro News. It is too late to worry about smirching our natioual honor, - if freedom from tolls will have that effect. Three parties took that sort of stand about two years ago, and we fail to see how it is going to reflect any great degree of credit upon us, if we only recede from our position under foreigh pressure. Assuming that we have done some thing dishonorable, is this lost hon or to be restored by reversing an act of Congress, to the end that the President may be assured of aid lrom some foreign government in dealing with matters of greater de licacy and of nearer consequence!7 And the question of our national honor apart, even Mr. Lodge says the United States has a perfeot legal right to exempt our coastwise merchant marine lrom the payment of tolls.

With a majority of the ships of the Ameri can navy today ordered to proceed immediately to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Mexico, the United States gave Provisional President Huerta final warning that unless he fired a salute to the flag in a reason able time to atone for "repeated of fenses againt the rights and dignity of the United States, serious even tualities would result. It was learned tonight that Huerta, when apprised of the proposed fleet demonstration, told Charge O'Shau nessy that the episode growing from the arrest of the blue jackets at Tampico is a fit subject for arbitra tion at the Hague and that he would appoint a commission to investigats. President Wilson, through O'Sha- ughnessy, emphatically replied that the time for delay and evasion had passed and that the United States would temporize no longer. The administration officials hold that flag insults and national honor questions are not arbitration subjects. The information here tends to show that Huerta believes the Uni ted States is bluffing Some anti-American demonstration at Vera Cruz and other points are reported.

CALOMEL A GREAT DANGER TO MANY. Hat Bad Effect on Some Dodson's Liver Tone Tal.es Its Place and Is Perfectly Harmless. If you will inquire at Crawford's Drug Store you will find that Dod son's Liver Tone is guaranteed to be a safe, reliable remedy to take the place of calomel and a harm less iiuer stimulant having no bad after effects. Indeed, any of these firms will refund purchase price (50c.) without question if you are in any way dissatisfied with this vegetable liquid. It is very unwise to take calo mel, even dangerous, as many peo pie suffer from the poison alter wards, even though they may ap pear at first to be temporarily re lieved. On the other hand, Dod son's Liver Tone works easily and naturally (really assisting nature) with no pain nor gripe and correct ing all bilious conditions and ills of constipation, clearing away the sick headache and the coated tongue, brightening up the dulled brain and strengthening the weak ened body at the same time that it removes collected waste from .the overburdened system. Those who have tried Dodsou 6 Liver Tone have found that it made them healthier and happier. A test may prove of great benefit to you right now. The Mail Order House. Everything. The Raleigh papers carried the news item that mail order houses in order to get a low rate of parcel post postage on their catalogue are shipping them by the car loads in to Ealeigh and will send them all over the state. This means much more money to go out of North Carolina. Every .farmer, every citi z e n should be alert. Keep away from the mail order mau Not but what bis goods may be all right. They may be a few cents cheaper but why not patronize the merchant who.in turn pays city taxes; who pays rents; who builds buildings, and who makes it possible to have a ciy. The city makes the taxes. Let us all be loj-al. Let us help one another, and let the mail order man have hi3 own territory. Pat ronize the home merchant.
