Davis, of Fairmont, Ind., with ticket to High Point, got off of No 12 here Saturday evening, and it was soon found that the poor fellow wras crazy, didn't know what he is doing. If any thing, he gets worse. The Sheriff is trying to find his people. At this writing, Monday evening, he has had no information. ADVERTISING PAYS We want to say a few things about advertising. This is a reading age. The more people read, the more they want to read. This is also a commer cial age. Every body has an eye to business. They are looking to find. the best place at which to buy and sell. They have to do so in self de fense. They have learned that "a dollar saved, is a dollar made."' And the present high prices are forcing them more than ever before to be Mr I. Lee Stone and little son, of better Posted as to markets, prices and I . U .

And they do so, by read ing the advertisements. If you don't believe it, put in a five or ten inch double column ad. In the middle of it in small type, say: "To the first one Messrs. Rett.

H, Gibbs, and little daugh- I took a little stroll 'tother day. Wanted to see what Morganton was, no how. And I saw, and I did't saw. What I saw was very good, and what I did't saw, can be made sawable. I saw some 'good streets, and saw 'em making more. X saw some beau tiful parks, nicely sodded. I don't be lieve any town can equal it. I saw some nice homes, mansions and cot tages. And they are well kept, and the inmates seemed comfortable, con tented and happy, Even the few dogs I saw were not mad dogs. They evi dently hadn't heard of that doggish war in Europe. But I'm off the sub ject. I started to tell what I saw. I saw good gardens, corn and every thing grown in gardens. Morganton folks don't intend to perish in this world, at least. I saw 20 bushels of Irish potatoes, nice ones, in one man's basement. And he doesn't claim to be the best producer in town. Irish potatoes are among the best eating crops made. You can cook 'em twen ty ways for Sunday. At least my ma could. Hot taters for dinner, cold taters for supper, and what was left, fry 'em for breakfast. And no one could tell that they had ever been ate before. I mean ate over before. But I'm off my subject agin. I saw some big piles of wood at many homes. They are wise. They are preparing for winter in time of summer. It is cheaper. They can get more heat in summer than in winter for the same price. Like all thinking folks, they know they won't freeze in the next world, and they don't propose to freeze in this world. I saw lots of good property for sale. They want to divide up with new comers. And to induce them to come, they offer them the best bargains in real estate to be found in the State, and in as good town as there is in the State. I'm wrung off. Will finish next week. Wanderer.

FAMILY REUNION Announcement of the family reun ion of the Stroup and Hill families was made in the News-Herald Aug. 9th, that the above named reunion would be held Friday Aug. 17, 1917, at the home of David C. Stroup four (4) miles Southeast of Morganton, N. C, and that all relatives and friends were cordially invited to be present. The writer arrived on the scene at about 9 o'clock A. M., and found, that the most distant family that attended, had made their appearance the after noon before. That of J. P. Stroup, Fort Mill, S. C, R. F. D. J. P. Stroup is a distant relative of David C. Stroup and his wife is a niece of Mrs. David C. Stroupe and the writer. The guests soon began, coming in, and before the sun had reached his zenith the barn yard, grove near the house and the woodland near the shop were found to be thronged with wag ons, buggies and automobiles. A good broad . table having been erected in the beautiful oak grove near the house about forty or fifty feet in length, the goa ladies who had assembled began to open up their trea sure boxes of good, better and best, of ham, beef, pork, sausage and fried chicken too numerous to mention. I would make a dismal failure, were I to attempt to tell of the numerous kinds of dishes served. Of the a bundance of cakes, of various kinds, of pies, custards, pickles, jellies, jams, fruits and a large dish of as fine sourwood honey as the Itallian bee has ever been known to produce. The large, broad, thick plank, of which the table was made, were strained al most to the breaking point with the great load it bore. Hon. Ernest Erwin being guest of honor, was called upon to grace the table, after which he, with the one hundred and twenty or more ravinous appetites were appeased of their hun ger, and more than twelve baskets full of fragments were taken up. The truth is, I do not believe it has ever been my pleasure of seeing such a quantity of so fine quality of eatables on any table. After the tables had been cleared of its contents, seats were arranged in the shady grove and the guest of honor, Mr. Ernest Erwin was intro duced by the writer, as the speaker of the occasion. We have often heard it said that a man could not speak with a full stomach. This, however, was one time that the speaker had to face his audience in that condition; and it is my pleasure to give that old say ing, the well, excuse me, I came very near using a word that would not sound very nice in Sunday school. At any rate, if he could have spoken bet' ter before dinner the audience will never know it, for he held his hearers spellbound for about 35 minutes. Next the old gentleman, in whose honor the reunion was held, David C. Stroup, who passed his 81st mile post Feb. 6th, last, was called on, and the call was responded to with a splen did speech, full of thankfulness for blessings through life and hopes of the future, with warning to the young etc! " , - A. U. Stroup, of Mt. Holly R. F. D., responded with a good speech. J .P. Stroup, like his uncle, David C. Stroup, made a soul-stiring speech. E. C. Raper made a short but interesting speech. It was a great day of happi ness and much weeping for joy. A good deal of the audience were pos sessed of the old time religion. The people were not ashamed to use their handkerchiefs to banish tears from their eyes. The old couple. Mr. and Mrs. David C. Stroup, were the happy recipients of a number of beautiful and valuable presents, for all of which their appre ciation and thanks for same is hereby expressed. ' .V C. P. Hill. WHERE ARE THE SHOUTERS AND BELL RINGERS A fine company of young men are seen daily on the streets of Hickory drilling and preparing for the regular service. The Reformed church lawn is the favorite place for resting, and we are glad to have them rest there. t is noticeable that those who were so loud for patriotic meeting and ring ing of church bells a few months ago are not among the soldiers, neither are their sons. It takes more than flying flags, and singing to make a soldier. This country is suffering just now with a form of patriotism of spectacular kind. Dr. J. L- Murphy, Editor of the Reformed Church Rec- or. ' The Pope is for peace, but where is the second to the motion? How about that moratorium for sol diers ? Have none of. our statesmen any time to sparS for considering it? 1 NORTH CARODINIANS WILL BE SENT TO FRANCE SOON Danville, Va., Aug. 19. Out of the detachment of 24 men of the coast ar tillery in Richmond, selected for im mediate service abroad as mounted military police half of the men chosen were North Carolinians. The commander had been given in structions to take only the best horse men and there a were , lot of anxious Virginians who made sure that they would be given preference. When the roster of names was examined it was shown that 10 of the men were from the Old North State. Their names are J. C. Mirris, Max- ton; W. H. Miller, Newton; C. A. Has ty, Maxton; B. L. Tucker, Advance; H. L. Cotton, Guilford; C. A. Corneli son, Salisbury; F. P. Cress, Concord; G. E. Murray, Lowry and R. B. Lantz, Concord. Return to Protection. While the manufacturer, the work- ingman, the farmer-and the merchant may occasionally- lose sight of other issues, ultimately they have to come back to the Protective Tariff. Goods are manufactured cheaper in foreign countries. To meet this com petition, the manufacturer knows that he has to have a Tariff duty that shall at least equal the difference in wages in the labor scales and the placing of foreign and home made goods on the market. The workingman wants a Tariff sufficiently high to enable the American factory to run full time and full capacity, otherwise he and his family are the direct and immediate sufferers. The merchant feels that American manufacturers must have a Tariff high enough to enable them to compete with the foreign factory; otherwise manufacturing languishes, labor is unemployed, and the goods upon his shelves remain unsold and collections become bad. The farmer desires a Tariff, not only on farm pro ducts, but on manufactured imports, for he knows busy factories, well em nloved labor and prosperous cities, are not only necessary to the sale of farm products but to the securing of high prices for them. It is essential that a Protective Tariff be written into law before the' war ceases, or elements of American industry will be sorely and immediately injured.
