The Nation which uses instruments like these against a sister Nation can boast no advance over the red Indian and his scalping knife." (From The New York Sun.) The menace of a great Euro pean war lends particular interest to what Dr. David Starr Jordan, America's distinguished peace advocate, said in his recent book, War and Waste." "What shall we say of the Great War of Europe ever threatening, ever impending, and which never comes? We shall say that it will never come. Humanly speaking, it is impossi ble. 'Not in the physical sense, of course, lor witn weaK, recKiess and godless men nothing evil is impossible. It may be, of course, that some nan-crazed archduke or some harassed minis ter of state shall half knowing give the signal for Europe's conflagration. In fact, the agreed signal has been given more than once within the last few months. The tinder is well dried and laid in such a way as to make the worst of this catas trophe. "Behind the sturdy forms of the Bulgarian farmers lurks the sinister figure of Russian in trigue. Kussia and Austria, areless of their neighbors, care less of obligation, find in this their opportunity. And the na tions of Europe in their degrees are bound to one or the other of these malcontents. Neither Russia nor Austria can be trusted to keep the peace even in own interest, for both, through debt abroad and discontent at home, are in a condition of per petual crisis." The armed forces of Europe in the event of a general war are thus tabulated by Prof. Cnar les Riche, of the University of Paris: Men Austria, y 2,600,000 pigland 1,500,000 ranee 3.400.000 IfWmany 8,600,000 iki 9 am nnn V'J C,, J t l 1. imania 300,000.

Reports of various committees were heard and dis cussions entered into thereon. A resolution of thanks to M. McRae Faison, Manager of the Clean Up Day Campaign was unanimously passed, after Mr, Faison had made his report of the success he had met with in the work. Mr. Faison stated that he had not been able to have the entire town cleaned up as well as he had wished, but that he had been successful in getting the larger portion of the town cleaned up and had met with a fair degree of co-operation. The question of holding a meeting of the Board of Trade in Rosemary for the convenience of the Rosemary members of the organization was taken up and it was decided to hold the next monthly meeting in Rosemary and a Committee on Arrange ments for this meeting was ap pointed. The question of inducing the Atlantic Coast Line to come in was taken up and reports of the status of that question were ren dered. A permanent committee to handle this question was ap pointed. The question of permanent quarters for the Board of Trade was taken up and discussed at length, a Committee on Quarters being appointed to go into the matter of leasing a portion of the second floor of the new Hor ner Duuuing next to the new Roanoke Mills vs Franklin Va. The Roanoke Mills Base Ball learn played franklin, Va., two hotly contested games of base ball on the League Grounds here this week. The first game was played Monday evening and was called in the seventh inning on account of rain. The second game was played on the League her j Grounds Tuesday morning, both games, although fiercely contest ed, being taken by the visitors. ine score in Doth games was identical, 4 to 0. The Roanoke Mills team played in hard luck, Franklin's runs being due to errors made by Roanoke Mills players at critical moments. qualified voters in the township, was heavy in comparison with former primary votes, 300 votes being polled. On this page is shown the itemized vote of the precincts for the different candidates. W. L. Long, for the Legislature, polled more votes in the county than did any other candidate who had any opposition. The principal result shown by the primaries is that the people of the county are evidently well satisfied with the present man agement of political matters. They also seem to be well satis fied with the services being ren dered by the present county of ficers, Messrs. Gary, Bowers and Norman being renominated for office by large majorities, PERSONAL AND LOCAL Items of Local Interest in and Around Roanoke Rapids.Rosemary, j and Patterson Mills j Mr. and Mrs. C. L.

War Scare Stops Life Insurance Thirty days ago any citizen 'of Europe in good health could ;gct all the lile insurance he wanted. To-day none of the European Companies are writing Lite Insurance, this is on ac count of the unexpected declara tion of war by Germany about ten days ago. If the United States should be brought into i this trouble, no doubt i the Insurance Com- Ipanies of this country would I also discontinue writing insur ance, and it would certainly be a wise precaution for any man who can get insurance to take out a policy now.
