Mount Airy New*. L X. JOHN HON, bdi lav mmd PMriw. Mount Airy. *■ C„ June 11th. 1»17. HI' HHi'KIPTION RATESs Om thro* month 25 Om ropj, ail ataaUu. M Um «•»>. oar year, tl.W j BISHOP KILCO AGAIN. BUhop Kilgo ia aga'.i In the lime light. Thin time it i» about hi* re fuaal U> 11m ^h* diploma* of the young men who rerantly graduated from Tri' ity <"ollege. Mr. Raymond Smith of thia city *■< a marolwr of the class, The fact that Mr. A. E. Smith the father of Mr. Raymomi Smith, has not town willing t«> allow the menu hing* aid by .! e Bishop to go hy without prntrvt. has brought his name into the unfort.«iare affair. The story in brief is thia: Throe years at*t. mme Iniy* at Trinity Col leg'' pl;«yet! a prank in the way .if pulling down the flag that floated from a pole about that college anil a* tarhing to the flag roj»» »«»e colors of the clan*. It was a boyish prank and no one except Bishop Kilgo considered it serioti !v. But he saw in the prank of the boys a great "tn in the way of disrespe. t for his country. He pro ceeded to say many thing* that were offensive and caused much talk at the time. Years went by and the boys com plete! lilt' nurse anil were reaily to leave with their diplomas. But the Bishop had stored away in his memory the, to him, desecration of the flag act. Ami o when the time fame to graduate the boys a few days ago he refuseil :i' chairman of the board of trustees t' sign the diplomas, unless the boys would make apologies. Now the state papers are having whole column stories about the uffjtir. A lot of fuss and fury about the boy ish prank. Bishop Kilgo is too great a man to be mixed up :n so small a controversy. If we sati? just what we would like to say we would say that he should be ashamed of himself to allow hi~ name to l>e candied about in this way. A Bishop of the great church to which he belongs is one of the greatest offices to u» ich men ar« called. The opportunities before him are such that, great man that he is, he should not have time to fuss with trustees over such matters as giving a bunch of boys a diploma, which no one attaches very much importance to after all, that is, once one has ueen earned. And here we are giving advice to a Bishop. Free country, to lie sure, it is. But if Bishop Kilgo could sec his way to cut out some of the iiony and sarcasm, which seems to be a part of his very nature, his field for usefulness would be much greater. Hardly a year passes that he is .not mixed uj in some way with something or somebody in a way that one would never think of a Paul or a John or a Spurgeon or Wesley stooping to. Cer tainly no one envies him of his repu tation for being abl^ 10 say things that hurt his fellow man. Such things aught not be said of a great man who fills a great position in a great church. The boys have done the work that gives them the right to diplomas, and the chances are that every one of them will show, during the coming months, that they have as great re spect for the flag as t»>e Bishop ever dared to claim for himself. Lets for get it. Do You Know— Do you know that there are 147 automobiles in this good town? It is a fact according to the ftate reports. And it is further given out as infor mation that it costs the citizens of this town the neat little sum of (13,000.00 a year to meet the expense of the one item of automobile ures. That is saying nothing about the other re pairs, gasoline, etc. In the county of Surry there are 200 nutomobiles and the state has it that the cost of tires is an even $29,000.00. Krom the above one would naturally expect for our people to beroma liberal contributors to the Liberty Ilonds. Nutod Operation H«r«. Mrs. Dr. B. V. NU, at LaaitMbunr.

Jackaon of thia tity.— I T>w Mil win* from an encyclopaedia will be of interc t in thin <mnn*ctiofi: "The Caesarian operation is the most serious operation in midwifery, and only resorted to in e«rrem« cases. u> nave life; an, for example, when a woman fully pregnant die* suddenly, by accident or otherwise, the child being still in utero, or when, by reason of deformity, the birth cannot take place naturally, or with the aid of ortlir.:1 y !■ * '..ical in*t-umentn. TV" operation consists in making an incis ion in the abdomen an.l removing thu child and contents of the womb en masse, and then snwmr up the wound thus made in the usual way. A* might he expected the danger to life from this operation is very (Treat in those cases where th* living mother is operated on. Certain cases, how ever. have survived the operation and the proportion of these cases is in creasing owing to the improvements in modern surgery. The caesarian operation was known to the Greeks. The Romans also practiced it, and it was considered by them a fortunate circumstance to be so born." I ^ J Building Operations. Some weeks ago it appeared as if the building operations of the country were likely to stop, but evidently this j is not the case. Just this week we learn of some large oyrrat'ons right here at home. Alderman B. Beasley will build a nice home for himself. Contractor D. H. Cook has the super vision of building a $5,000 residence for Mr. I. N. Gordon, of Pilot Moun tain. Mr. Cook also has the contract for the supervision of a $10,000 school building at Boonville. Hundreds of people in this county have attended the school at Boonville in the years gone by and will naturally be glad to know of the new building to be erccted. Boonville is a rural, farm ing town of a few huncred people, and the village, if such it may be called, has for many years maintained a very high grade school that attract ed young people from the best fam ilies for many miles around. Some time ago the people saw the need of a better school building and the little town has voted a bond issue of an even ten thousand dollars to erect ..... .... \ iic ncn uuiiuii>K< nt mc picncni time they have two buildings, one be ing a very old one and the other a frame building erected in recent yearn. The old building will be torn away and the better one moved Rome distance and fitted up for a dormitory. The present site will be tlie location of the new house which will be of brick and have modern conveniences. Workmen are now making the brick and the j activc work of erecting the house i will commence in a few weeks. h McNeer Wounded in France. ! Statesville Landmark. A dispatch from Ottawa. Ont., says an overseas casualty list includes i. ; number of American wounded. In the :lmt is the name of Stanley McNeer, Lynchburg, Va. Mr. McNeer Is n [brother of Mr. E. F. McNeer, a promi nent busim -s» man of Elkin, well | known in Statesville. Stanly McNeer is one of many Americans serving |with the Canadian forces in France.

It was a most generous act on the part of the bankers that in making an effort to get our people to sub scribe to the loan no man was ap proached who has a .ion in the ser vice or who has sons registered and who are likely to see service. The idea is that the people who stay at home must do their bit by putting up the money for those who do light or furnish sons who fight. All of which shows that our people—some of them, are beginning to see that this country is at war and that there is a work to do, and that every man can do his part. • \ ' Will Now Build Court House. The Fidelity and Trust Co., of Haltimore, the bonding company that is responsible for the erection of our new court house, has taken over "the job of completing it and put a force of men to work this week. They are under bond for $51,000.00 for the completing of the contract and will 'push the job through as soon as they can. The company is a large concern and thoroughly responsible. There is yet $26,000.00 unpaid on the building, and this will nearly meet the ex pense. So the bonding company will i not lose any great amount of the work. v V \Vhouping Cough. In this disease it is Important that the cough be kept loose anil expector ation easy, which can be done by giv ing ChamberIain's Cough Remedy. Mrs. P. H. Martin, Peru. Ind., writes, "My two daughters' had whooping rough. 1 gave them Chaml>erlain'* Cough Kennedy and it worked like a charm. 1 A Big Supply Tr»i> Will 5mmk War Fum The aupply train ia tin- rkwf artery for Um army. It cwnw everj'hing that kaepe the luildier* in rtghung trim —fowl, ammunition and clothing. No army ran win battle* without efficient supply train*. Thr New York r itlonal guard hu organized one of the moat complete supply train* ever got together m eh L'nitad state*. Motor truck*, wagon*, hundred* of mulea and hor» ea, ntMiiy kinda of equipment, all are now being aaeemblrd to supply the -late'* troop* whan they hava nervire in Franca. What i* needed to complete tha or ganization i* about Hhi patriotic, strong, eiperivnced teamatar*. Tha hu ky ta<U from the lumlier nartion* or tha atrong muacled r en who drive amulhout mule * are the type that make* the ideal Holciier for the aup ply train. To experiem «•<! teamsters, especially men who know about the handling of mule*, the supply train offers the fhance of esrapifi-' eeniMriftMA, the promote of early service in France, ami the recruit may tlo the work for \thich he is bent fitted. Men of the supply train hold the re1 .s of the army. No branch of serv ice is any more important. Life in the supply train is one round of inter esting work. There are no long weary hours in training camps. In stead, members of the supply train are soldiers of action. They are fre quently on the move doing their im portant work of keeping the front lines in fighting condition. When in motion men of the supply train travel many miles over battle country, which gives them the chance of seeing var ious interesting aides of army life. Attract* Hell Known Oiiicers. The transport end of the service has i attracted some of the best known offl | cent in the American army. At the head of the New York state supply j train will be Major T. Harry Shanton, ; a famous Wyoming plainsman, who for fifteen years has toared all over the world with transport units. Major Shaoton, aa inspiring and picturesque eladar, roauuM a New York 'uppty train at the Mexican uorder iaat luanir rha noled officer was rmpelted to form hi* organization meetly from in-, ux pari* need city man. Major Shanton and nia train left MrAllan and landad at Fort Sam Houaton, 330 m lea away, over traach erouH Texas trails and in weather that waa clone to the hulling point in le»a than mix teen daya, every man, immal and wagon in perfect condition, hey drew up at the Amah line fur napection by the regular array offi cers. General Pershing, wyo will lead the American troop* in Kranee, reviewetl the New York train at Kort .Sam Houston and told Major Shanton his march was one of the gr«ate»t records ever made liy any American army. Associated with Major X nan ton in the n«w -upply train will tic Captain (ieorge I!. Robertson, one of the most famous automobile raring driver* the world ha* ever known. Captain Roiiertson won the Vanderbilt cup in 11WMJ, the first American driver to achieve the dardevil feat. Captain Robertson in now an expert in the handling of animals. Like Major: Shanton, he is an inspiring and fear less leader. Mule* <«i*e Great Service In these days of speedy, high pow ered automobile trucks the reader may question the advantage of army wag ons drawn by animals, but it is a striking fat t bulh at the Mexican border and in Europe that the reliable American mule often goes where even the motor truck cannot penetrate. Since the start of the great European war the alies have purchased nearly 800,000 mules in the United Slates. These sure footed animals have per formed wonderful work, particularly in the Vosges mountains in France and the mountainous districts in Ser via and Italy. Your Uncle Sam wants his armies to be first class in every detail when they battle in France. This is one reason why New York state has or and why tha sturdy, aupwt ay atata with Uh ffff nintiffti.

The buckets must be de livered to us at The News office on Moore Street and must be clean ant! j fre$ from rust on the outside ami the inside. We positively would not have a bucket at any price unless it is free from rust. Now many of these buck ets have been thrown about the home? until they show soil, and on examina tion one can see that the tin is off and that' rust has set in. We posi tively would not use these buckets. I But for the ones that we can use we : will pfcy for a reasonable number five cents each, cash, when delivered here at The News office. J. E.
