GOLLIDGE ANO DAWES . e are in hearty sympathy with j our Methodist hrcUiern of the north j on the war question. They are against the barbarous business from first to I REPUBLICAN TICKET last, defensive, offensive ami every other kind. They are eternally right and they are leading all other denom inations in their clear and candid statement of the case. No matter what individuals may do or say, a great denomina ion cannot afford to squit at this hell born business, or make the least compromise in dealing with it. War is always of, by and for the devil, and is wholly unjustifia ble from every point of view. & Christian cannot afford to kill a man who does not agree with him no mat ter what the provocation. The church, as a whole, took a shameful part in the world war. Conventions and synods and conferences condoned it, and in some cases urged the boys to go to the front to be maimed and slaughtered. We thought it was partriotism then, but looking back over that furious and bloody period we see that it was a time of passion ate hate, was a struggle in the in terest of peace! God save the mark! Where are the benefits and blessings we tub5 the boys were to come to the earth through their nameless sacri- uce and suffering? The war dogs are growling all around the world. Peace has plumed her wings and soared out of sight. The gloomy prospect looms arge on the horizon of a real Arma geddon. Our brave boys died in vain. Can any Christian, can any patriot, can any lover of his fellow men afford to lift his voice in favor of the utter wreck and ruin of civilization? That is exactly what the next war means. he Methodists are right, and all Christians everywhere, if they be real followers of the Prince of Peace, ought to j ;in hands with them in con demning in unmeasured terms all wars of whatsoever kind everywhere in the round Children. .'rlti ! -Charity and Wilkesboro, June 11.

Union County Paid Confederate Veterans Railroad Fare to Reunion. Monroe lCu(iuirr Major W. C. Heath, who returned J... 1 , : l i - i .i . . oaiuruay nigni vutn uiu zi tunieder ate veterans from Union con aty who attended the Memphis re-union last week, reports a most enjoyable trip None of the men were ill and all came home in fine shane. There were 24 brass bands and at one time they played together under the di rection of one band master. The parade was more than four mik-g in length and the floats were exception ally fine, many representing historic events. The only band of musicians from North Carolina was the Ice morelee Band, and Camp Walkup had the largest delegation from thisState. It is gratifying that the county com missioners paid the railroad fare for Camp Walkup and that our veterans went and returned in their own pri vate Pullman Sleeper and made it their home while in Memphis, and the car was parked within a hundred yards of the auditorium. Major Heath found that of the 27 Union county veterans attending the re un ion their average age was 80 years There were four veterans over 100 years old, being 104, 103, 102 and 100 respectively. The next reunion will be held at Dallas, Texas, date to be announced later. Convention Hall, Cleveland, Ohio, June 12 (By the Associated Press) Coolidge and Dawes is the republi can ticket for 1924. President Coolidge's nomination was accomplished with only a ripple of dissent from Wisconsin and North Dakota, but the nomination of his running mate came only after the convention had once ehosen Frank 0. Lowden, of Illinois, and been forced by his declination to choose another - Charles G. Dawes, the "Hell and Maria" general. After a short race with Herbert Hoover, who came into the balloting after the declination of Lowden, Dawes galloped off with the nomina tion. Motions to mako it unanimous and by acclamation were disturbed only by the dissents from Wisconsin and North Dakota. Approaching Marriage Forester-Lenoir. Lenoir News-Topic: Announce ment of the approaching marriage of Mr. George Forester of North Wilkes boro and Miss Hallie Lenoir, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Lenoir, has been given out. The wedding will be on June 24th. Mr. and Mrs. Will Miller and chil dren, of Winston-Salem, spent a few days last week with his brothers, Messrs. T. S. and C. Y. Miller, and sister, Mrs. J. H. Leckie, in Wilkes boro. Transporting Children to School. The University of North Carolina News Letter says: The motor car has done a great deal to improve rural schools in the United States. The size of the old rural school depended upon the num ber of children of school age residing within walking distance of a central point. Necessarily such schools were mainly one room, one-teacher schools. Motor cars and good roads make it possible for progressive communities o combine several small school dis tricts into one large district with a real community school in which coun try children can secure all the edu- cational advantages enjoyed by city children. The microscopic school is rapidly disappearing in North Carolina. Here and there all over the state small dis- ricts .ire getting together for better sciiooi faculties ana it is no uncom mon sight to run across consolidated country schools that compare favora bly with good city schools. Evidence of a new day in North Carolina is shown by a table appear ing in the 1924 report of the Nation al Automobile Chamber of Commerce. According to a table in this report North Carolina had 237 consolidated districts to which children were trans ported to school. Eight-four of these were consolidated in 1923. The chil dren transported to these schools daily numbered 25,045, of whom 23, 413 were transported by motor ve hicles. Only four states consolidated more districts in 1923 than North Carolina. Only seven states trans ported more children school, and only two states transported more child ren to school in motor vehicles. However, 25,045 children is only a small per cent, of all rural -school children in the state. Wilson county alone is responsible for around 10 per cent of of the state total of chil dren transported to school. We re commend to the consideration of the aMe ihn public school Hvurum nf Wiisou county, which ranks foremost in the state in the consolidation of country children. Corporation Tax Information.
