Mr. Editor : Not long since I asked for information in regard to the ex ponditure of the rural service, as yet I have had no information about same. I will ask more questions! His it not been one of the fundamental prin cipals of the Democrat e party to leg islate for the greatest good to the greatest number f If so, then please tell me wherein we are benefitted by this wholesale slaughter of the money in the national treasury f When the i.vnr on the Eastern Continent broke out, and the revenue of Uncle Sam ran low, why, instead of cutting down expenses, the duty on sugar was put back T In other words Congress rams its hands down in the people's pock ets to get more money, that those i' nlf-paid rural carr'ers might not suffer anv more than they had al ready had been compelled to suffer. I would like to know if either of them ever made half as much money as they reeeive todav. There is one thing that would impress upon every far mer's mind, and that is this: Every rre he buys a sack of sugar be is contributing a part of said purchase to hedp pay an urgent burden heaped upon him without his will or consent. I have talked with hundreds of people and I have found but one that thinks t ia rieht to give a rural carrier twice as much as he could make at anything else. I don't blame the Wilson ad ministration for this unjust law. When :t was passed it looked 1 ke it was in tended to benefit, but a Republican President put it under the civil ser vice then the mischief began. If the last two sessions of Congress did as much as t'hey claim they did why did they not risht the wrong t But when they go back and then don't at tempt to do something, then its up to them. Why everv Democrats stump speaker charges the O. 0. P. with ex. travngnnce, which is' no doubt true, hut now don't let the pot call the ket tlv by its own name. Now, when you oft ffrw 'the 'enemy "with -wroiig-lhg,"" 'ion t be gttilty of the same. Our hon ored ex-Oovernor told us the other lay at the county convention what rrnnd and clorious achievements the Democratic party had accomplished. T hone they won't stop until they have H'-'htrd every wrong but upon us by r'ie (1. O. P. What encouragement is there for any young man if every of fice is to be put under the civil ser vice? That means a life tenure on the job. I believe when the Republi cans are 'n office they should fill every ofTVr; from President to Magistrate, and the Democrats should do vice versa. What encouragement is there to take any interest when there is nothing in Riubt. The pie counter is full all the time with the same old gang, Yet they say, put the rascals out. That's the last you hear for two long yenrs. D. V. KRTMMTNOER. KINO'S DAUGHTERS. 35et Last Night at Home of Mrs. J. F. Cannon.

HE DM nunc MS Speech Was Void of All Bitterness Toward the Republican Party and Was an Eloquent Review of the Achievements of the Democrats in the State and National Adminis trations. "Butler and Bonds" Is the Big Issue in This State, He Says, snd Gives Data in Regard to Bonds That Cannot be Questioned. Came Before People With Facts. Attorney General T. W. Bickett has always had friends in Cabarrus coun ty. This has always been a strong hold for him. . This fact was clearly demonstrated at the meeting last night at the court house, when he addressed the voters of this county. There were many Republicans in the audience. This was what Mr. Bickett wanted. He came before the voters of this county with (facts. Facts relative to the affairs of the national administra tion; facts in regard to the manage ment and acts of the State adminis tration. Mr. W. G. Means introduced Mr. Bickett in a short speech. The speak er addressed the people here for more than two hours, and it was apparent from the evidence that 'he could have talked longer. Mr. Bickett opened his address by telling the people here that he wanted them to look at the facts in the case and then vote. He devoted his entire address not to an eloquent defense merely of the na tional and State administrations, but to facts. For more than an hour Mr. Bickett discussel the national issues; the at titude of the Democratie executive to ward the European stiuation and the Mexican "situation.-'- Very -vividly Mr. Bickett descrbed the great conflict that is raging in Europe. Said that he was thankful and that every boy, father and mothpr in this country should be thankful that there is peace ere. When the war first started, Mr. Bickett said, the rulers and people in ther countries probablv criticised the spirit shown by the President, but that now all of the people in the countries stricken by the world's greatest trag edy prayed that their rulers might be nspired by the Rpir:t of Woodrow Wilson. Mothers here are not robbed of their happiness and staff in their old aye by war s relentless srrind. Here the speaker quoted Mr. Melvin Stone, head of the Associated Press: If a man believes in God let him get down on his knees and thank Him that there is peace in America." Mr. Bickett spoke briefly of the Federal Reserve Bank. He here gave facts to show that the Democratic administration had saved this coun try from the greatest panic in the his tory off the world in 1914, at the out break of the great European crisis, when the largest bankers threatened to stop the issuance of money on checks. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo told these bankers that they could not stop the issuance and he loaned t'hem $50,000,000 t ocarry on the bus'ness. Mr. Bickett spoke of the high prices that the farmers and manufacturers are eetting for their produce. In re gard to this he said: "Cotton is roost ing in the tree tops; tobacco is cling- 'ng to the mountain tops, yearlings are pawing at the man in the moon and wheat is tangoing with the stars." "Butler and Bonds" were next dis. cussed by Mr. Bickett because, he said., the Republicans in this State had brought up the matter. The speak er arave data on this matter that could not be nnest'oned. He answered the charres that the State officials had spent lots of money and he showed where the money had gone. The speech of Mr. Bickett was not bitter and he showed that he wanted to be elected not on' the faults of his political op ponents, but on the merits of his own party. It is felt that his speech did much good here. With Our Advertisers. If you want to save money take stock in Cabarrns Building and Loan and - Savings Association.

When the long special bearing the first sec tion of the North Carolina troop roll, ed into Saa Antonio, Texas, yesterday afternoon a number of ladies began serving ice cream and distributing post cards to the soldiers. The mil: tiamen received the gifts with joy and from every, window and platform scores of eager bands were extended. "To what society or organixation are we indented for this kindness T" a militiamen asked one of the charm ing young daughters of the Lone Star State, who was engaged in adding to the joy of the soldiers on the long border journey, j "It is not an organization, it is a number of ladies aiding a lady from North Carolina, who wanted to do something for the troops of her moth er State," she replied. "And where is she fromt" the mil itiaman questioned. "Concord," she answered. "It is Mrs. Clrgg assisted by Mrs. McKel lar." she added, ;.

And thev were found going up and down the platform, distributing ice cream, post cards and good cheer to the soldiers. "Where are the Concord boys," was their first question. And well thev might ask t, for a big treat awaited the Concord soldiers. In fact Mrs. Clegg's and Mrs. McKellar's generosity for the boys of the r old home town was so lavish that it went all the way round and included every member of the first Tar Heel Regi ment. And, as the train pulled away from the long station platform, there were scores of cheers for Mrs. Cleeg, Mrs. McKellar and their fair assist ants, whose generosity and k:ndncss 'will make a bright page in the diary o, m:.n a nnrw u rouna suuner ami, .1? - V -i.U J I' I 1 1 l FIRE YESTERDAY.

They Were Checked By the French, Paris Reports. (Br The Associate Praaa) Roumauia's stroke against the Cen tral Powers in throwing a force across the Danube into Bulgaria is the outstanding feature in the cur rent war news. Should this army prove of a formidable size it will "Con stitute a serious menace to Field Marshal von MacKensen's left flank, and might easily force his retirement from the present front south of the Constanza Railway. He already is being subjected to heavy pressure along this line by the Russians and Roumanians, presumably in connec tion with the flanking operation. ' The latest statement from Sofia m nimizes the importance of the Roumanian invasion, mentioning the invading force as consisting of "sev eral bat tall ions." "Measures have been taken to meet this force," the official bulletin de clares. In Macedonia where the Allies are pressing the offensive movement pre sumably to prevent reinforcement be ing sent by the central powers from one field of activity to another, the tide of battle actuates on both wings.
