VOL. XXI. YADKINVILLE, YADKIN CO., N. C., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3,1915. NO. 5. Gentty cteanse your tiver and stuggish bowets white you sieep. Get * 10-cent box. Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the in testines, instead of being cast out of the system is re absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes con gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick ening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10 cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv. WANTED A PERMANENT BOND Mite of Seven Years Had Worked Out SoiutionofProbiemtoHis Satisfaction. He is the merest mite, oniy seven, and his widowed mother was married the other day for the second time to "daddy"—a reaiiy very nice person who had long been fast friends with the stepson-eiect and had no idea of being an interioper. There are problems to be figured out—even when you are oniy seven. "Mother," asked the mite, "who are you going to marry when daddy dies?" "Why, my dear," she replied, "what a curious question." "Well," responded the mite, "when father died you married daddy—and now, when daddy dies, I know just who I want you to marry." "Why, my iittle son!" exclaimed the perplexed mother. "You shouldn't speak like that. Daddy isn't going to die." "Yes mother, i know, but he might die. Then, if he ever does, mother. ! want you to promise me that you'll marry me—'cause then—then, you see —we would never have to be sepa rated." Thus, even at seven, does a heart know its own sorrow. A New Cure. A bedpost has not generally been regarded so much as an eye-opener a3 an eye-shutter, but if a story that comes from Boston is true—and what story from Boston was ever untrue— our oculists should go to school to the handmaids of Morpheus. Mr. Frank H. Hayes, who has been stone blind for nine years, so the tale runs, struck his head violently against the bedpost on arising, and was astonished a few minutes afterward to find that Ms sight had been entirely restored. We do not know whether the virtue of this cure lay in the bedpost or in the fact that it was a Boston bedpost, but if it was reaiiy effected in this way there would seem to be a good deal in such inanimate objects not heretofore dreamed of in the philosophy of optics. One of the morals of this modern mir acle would seem to be that "knocking" is sometimes a very efficacious proc ess, and that the only way to make some folks see things is by knocking them into their heads.—Baltimore Sun. Heartiess Prophetess. "Harold says that after we are mar ried he will want me to dress like a queen." "Yes," replied Miss Cayenne. "And for a while he will be as proud as a king. After that he will grumble like a taxpayer." THREE REASONS Each With Two Legs and Ten Fingers. A Boston woman who is a fond moth er writes an amusing article about her experience feeding her boys. Among other things she says: "Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Bob, Jack, and Dick, respectively, are three of our reasons for using and recommending the food, Grape-Nuts, for these youngsters have been fed on Grape-Nuts since infancy, and often between meals when other children would have been given candy. "i gave a package of Grape-Nuts to a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was a weazened little thing, ill half the time. The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts and cream greedily and the mother continued <jhe good work, and it was not long nefore a truly wonderful change mahifested itself in the child's face and body. The results were re markable, even for Grape-Nuts. "Both husband and 1 use Grape Nuts every day and keep strong and well and have three of the finest, healthiest boys you can End in a day's march." Many mothers instead of destroying the children's stomachs with candy and cake give the youngsters a hand ful of Grape-Nuts when they are beg ging for something in the way of sweets. The result Is soon shown in greatly increased health, strength and mental activity. Name given by Postum Co„ Battle Creek, Mich. ' f Look in pkgs, for the famous little SERIOUS FKM6 IRMStWMZOME BOTH RUSSiAN AND AU8TRO GERMAN ARMiES HAVE AS SUMED OFFENSiVE. QU!ET RE!GNS !N THE WEST Campaign in the Carpathians Vita) to Both Sides Russians Are Attack ing Austro-German Forces. London.*—With the armies in France and Flanders recuperating after stren uous fighting of eariier days of the week and no iocai actions being re corded, interest in the war situation has been transferred to the Russian offensive in East Prussia and the at tempt of a strong Austro-German army to disiodge the troops of Em peror Nicholas from their positions in the Carpathians. In East Prussia a Russian offensive has deveioped in the extreme north, where renewed fighting seems to con firm a belief that a definite effort to advance north of the Masurian Lakes district, where previousiy the Russians were defeated has been decided on by the Russian Genera! Staff. More vitai to both sides, however, is the campaign in the Carpathians, where southwest of Dukia Pass the Russians have delivered an energetic attack. According to their account of the combat they compelled the Aus tro-Germans to retreat, leaving behind ammunition and stores. This attack, according to military observers, indi cates a Russian attempt to turn the Hank of the Teuton Allies. If it would have serious consequences for the large Austro-German army in and about the Carpathian Passes. Russian military experts anticipated that the Austrians will deliver their mhin attack with their extreme right in Western Bukowina, aiming to achieve a signal victory and thus give Roumania cause to pause. The only thing holding Roumania in check at present it is said is uncertainty as to what Bulgaria will do. Bulgaria it is asserted still demands that part of "Macedonia now under Serbian rule as the price of her neutrality and Serbia is reported unwilling to make this con cession. CARRANZA TAKES MEXiCO C)TY. Genera) Orbregon Head of the Car ranza Forces Now )n Capita). Mexico City—The capita) is again tn possession of the forces of General Carranza who, while acting as pro visional president was forced to leave Mexico City, early in November under threat of Villa and Zapata's advancing troops. The new authorities have re established order and a general feel ing of confidence prevails. It has been determined that the shooting which occured before the national palace, when Gen. Alvaro Orbregon at the head of the Carranza forces, reached that place was done by snipers who were hidden on the cathedral roof. Gen. Orbregon said the shots were undoubtedly directed towards him. The perpetrators have not been captured. Three soldiers were killed and a number wounded during the fighting. AH saloons are closed. Commercial houses and banks declare they will resume business immediately. 20.000 additional Carranza troops en tered the capital. The Zaptlsta troops have retreated southward. French Officia) Statement. Paris—It is comparitive quiet along the battle line in France, judging from the official announcement by the French war office. There were artille ry engagements, some of them fairly violent at different places and one or two infantry encounters are men tioned. Apparently long sections of the line showed no activity whatev er. District "Jim Crow" Bi)). Washington—A bill by Represent ative Clark of Florida requiring Dis trict of Columbia transportation com panies to provide separate accommo dations for white and negro races, was favorably reported to the house by the district committee. Consider Nava) Appropriation. Washington—The House met tt be gin consideration of the naval appro priation bill carrying about $148,000, 000. Indications were that the meas ure would provoke lively debate. The agricultural appropriation bill, carry ing more than $22,000,000 was pass ed in the House and sent to the Sen ate. Only two of the appropriation bills the urgent deSciency and the District of Columbia—have passed the Senate. All of the big supply bills except the naval, the sundry civil, pensions, have passed the house.

HOLDING NIGHT SESSIONS EFFORT WtLL BE MADE BY THE DEMOCRATS TO T!RE OUT OPPOStTtON. Commerce Committee Subatitutes Caucus ^i<! for Origins! Bit!. Democrats Aroused. Washington.—Administration lead ers in the senate, asserting that the Republicans were conducting a Hlibus ter against the government ship-pur chase bill, determined to wear out the opposition in long night sessions. One had been planned but it was abandon ed as a courtesy to Senator Gallinger, the minority leader, who had spoken for several hours and had not con cluded his remarks. After an executive session the sen ate resumed open session late in the day when the night meeting pronun ciament was delivered by Majority Leader Kern. "It is fair to minority senators," said Senator Kern, "to state that the majority proposes to meet what we belive to be a filibuster against this bill by holding night session. Senator Gallinger declared that he was ready to proceed but the majority insisted, upon allowing him to rest and the senate recessed. Democratc senators were aroused when after the way had been opened for business for the first time in ten days, Republicans began reading the long journai of proceedings as well as speeches on various subjects, sub mitting them for introduction in The Congressional Record. The commerce committee voted to report as a substitute for the original the bill as amended by the Democratic caucus. It rejected Senator Lodge's amendment to prohibit government purchase of ships owned by belliger ents. It will soon consider an amend ment by Senator Jones to provide that the government purchase no ships at all but either construct or charter them. Democrats will not re ceive this amendment favorably. W!LL NOT SEiZE FOOD STUFFS. Germany Promises United States Not to Detain Cargoes. Washington.—Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, notified the State Department that Germany had given official assurance that the Gov ernment would seize no foodstuffs shipped frorm the United States to Germany. The Ambassador's notifi cation was given verbaiiy, but it was understood he tater will send a format note on the subject. OfHciais surmised that the Em bassy might have been istructed to make this communication as an ex planation that exports from America would not he affected by the announc ed purpose of the Gerrman Govern ment to seize food supplies as report ed in Beriin news dispatches. No word had come\ however, either to the Embassy or the State Department, concerning this announcement, t The department cabled Ambassa dor Gerard at Berlin for information concerning Germany's intention to ap opriate wheat, corn and dour. PRESENT VETOES !MMiGRAT!OM BtLL THE LITERACY TEST FOREtGN TO THE AMERtCAN iDEA, MR. W)LSON TH1HK8. SENATE FAVORS THE EHLL Effort WiU Be Made to Pass the Bit) Over President's Veto, But Many Beiieve Cannot Be Done. Washington.—President Wilson ve toed the immigration biii because of the literacy test for admission of aiiens. His message was referred to the house immigration committee, whose chairman, Representative Burn ett, wiii move that the measure be passed over the veto. Much informal discussion among members of the house foiiowed re ceipt of the veto and there were many who believed the two-thirds majority required to pass the oill could not be procured Immigration bills con taining literacy tests were vetoed by Prsident Cleveland and President Taft, but both failed of repassage. Senate leaders insist there would be no trouble in repassing the bill in the upper house. That was done in the Taft administration but the lower house failed to muster a two-thirds majority. In his veto message President Wil son told the house which originated the bit!, that he had no pride of opin ion on the question and that he was not fooiish enough to profess to know the wishes and ideais of America bet ter than the body of her chosen Rep resentatives know them." He asked, however, whether the bi!I rested upon the conscious and universal assent and desire of the American people and pointed out that no political party ever had avowed a policy of restric tion in this fundametal matter gone to the country on it and beent commis sioned to control its legislation. SMALL BATTLES EVERYWHERE. French Claim Germans Have Lost 20,000 Men. London—Although no big battles, as battles go in this war, have been fought of late, there have been engage ments in all the arenas from Asia tic Turkey to the English Channel in which the losses in men and material probably have been greater in the aggregate than in iqany of the battles of history. According to French re ports, German attacks against the allied lines in Flanders, France and Alsace on the first three days of the week cost them 20,000 men, to which must be added the losses suffered in repeated attacks on the Russian en trenchments in Central Poland. All attacks in the West, the Allies' announcements say, failed except near Craonne, where it it admitted the French lost 800 men, largely be cause of the collapse of an old quarry. The Germans on the other hand, assert that they inflicted a severe de feat on the French at Craonne and that they repulsed all French attacks in the Vosges and upper Alsace, with heavy losses. Senator Walsh Replies. Washington.—<Senate Democrats re turned the iire of Republicans who for two weeks have been assailing the Government ship purchase bill. Sen ator Walsh, in an elaborate argument, replying to Senator Root's predic tion that international difficulties would result from the measure, quoted prize court decisions, State Depart ment records and legal authorities of many nations to show that the bills proposals were within international rights. Barge for President Wiison. Portsmouth, N. H.—A 40-foot barge of mahogany and highly-polished nick el, built at the navy yard here foT the use of President Wilson during his intended visit with the battleship fleet to the Panama Cana! Exposition was given speed, trials. The craft developed a speed of 18.33 knots. It will be sent to Hampton Roads when finished to be slung aboard the bat tleship New York. President Shouid Appoint.

TAKE CENSUS OE JOBLESS PRESiDENT'S ADViSORS BELtEVE CONDiTiONS OF UNEMPLOY MENT EXAGGERATED. Secretary of Labor intrusted V,ith Duty of Making inquiry into Present Conditions. Washington.—The Wiison Adminis tration has decided to get at the bot tom of the statements that there is a widespread condition of unemployment in the country. Some of the Presi dent's advisers contend that the situa tion is not as represented, and they believe that something should be done to counteract what they regard as a false impression that has been created largely, in their opinion, for political purposes. The representations made to the President in this connection have had their effect, and it has been determined to make an investigation to ascertain the facts. To the Secretary of Labor has been intrusted the duty of conducting the inquiry, and he has decided to begin work in New York City, where con ditions of unemployment are repre sented to be worse than at any time in the Nation's history. The Secretary of Labor will ask the New York auth orities to instruct the police, in con junction with the work of taking the city census this year, to ascertain the number of persons unemployed in New York City. If such an arrangement cannot be made, the Department of Labor will send an additional force of agents to New York to do the work as well as they can. These agents will endeavor to check up on the figures furnished by the police, and in that way seek to determine the situation as accu rately as possible, in the absence of an adequate force of Government enu merators. GERMAN BATTLESHiP SUNK. British Fieet Scores Another Victory in North Sea. London —An attempt by a German cruiser squadron to repeat the recent attack on Scarborough, the Hartiie pools and other British coast towns, was frustrated by the British patroii ing squadron, and in a running tight the German armored cruiser Biucher was sunk and two German battie cruisers seris-usiy damaged. The British ships suffered only siight injury. So far as is known oniy 123 of the Blucher's crew of 885 were saved/** A battie also occurred between the light cruisers and destroyers accom panying the bigger shjips, but the re sult of that ongo^HHtf has not yet reached the FLEE EAPilAL CiTY W)LL ESTABLiSH NEW SEAT OF GOVERNMENT AT CUERNAVA CANEAR BY.

All the commercial houses and banks and even private dweilings are barred and shuttered, aithough no dis order has attended the fleeing of the Zapata and Villa forces. The National Palace, the Federal telegraph and postofhces and other Government establishments ape clos ed The incoming Carranza forces are commanded by General Alva rado, former post commander here. Food prices have soared beyond the reach of the needy. The supply of food is low and unless the railway line to Vera Cruz is opened soon it is believed there will be much suffering The Government's decision to Quit the Capital come after a heated discussion at the session of the convention, it was decided President Garza, his Gov ernment and members <Sf the conven tion should proceed after midnight to Cuernavaca. Colonel Garza and Gen. Ernesto Santoscoy are reported to have departed on a special locomotive. The deputies who have not left al ready will be forced to proceed from the city in automobiles as there is no fuel for the locomotives. Zapata's troops are entraining in 30 electric trains in Xovhimilco and Morelos. There is a rumor in circulation that the vanguard of General Obre gon's troops is four miles from the Capital, advancing In a secret session of the conven tion some of the deputies demanded that General Zapata be called upon personally to take command of his troops and tight the forces of Car ranza. However, it was decided aft erwards that the Capital be aban doned and the municipal council left in charge. Previously the convention voted to dismiss General Palafox, Minister of Agriculture, because of his alleged incapacity in directing opera tions. TURK iNVAStON OF EGYPT. First Skirmish of the War in Sue: Cana) Region Occurs. London.—The advance guard of the Turkish army undertaking an inva sion of Egypt has reached the British in this region took piace. Official reports say the ciash was a sniaii af fair, oniy one British officer being wounded, but dispatches from Cairo declare the invaders suSered severely from the British machine guns. The dispatches do not disclose the size of the Turkish force engaged, but say the fight took piace east of Ei Kan tara which is on the Suez Canal and is the terminus of the caravan route from Rafati, the border station be tween Egypt and Syria. The distance from Rafati to Ei Kantara is 143 miles and. as the British had Riled in all the wells along the caravan route, the in vaders would have had to carry their own water. Even El Kanatara is sup plied by a pipe line from a fresh water stream which runs under the Suez canal. No Records of Biease's Administration Columbia, S.
