BOONE, Editor TOBIAS LARSON, Business Manager THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1918. EDITORIAL A German-American isn't one half so much to be drtaded as an Amer ican-German. . 0 We haven't seen our bad, muddy roads lately for the snow and ice, but wi can well imagine what they will be when the thaw comes if it does come. The roads were so rough on the mountain leading to Blowing Rock that a fellow lost his false teeth and offers a reward for them in The Le noir News. o ' If the republican party tpcpects to win in the next campaign on a plat form of disloyalty or even by fault finding they had better quit now, be fore they get fairly started. o : Buy a thrift stamp card if you can not buy a Liberty bond or a war cer tificate. A few cents which you would occasionally throw away on trash will help your government and soon amount to a considerable sum. -' 0 Since Judge Ferguson is out of the judicial race it is almost certain that Capt W. J. Hannah will contest hon ors with Messrs. Frye and Bryson, of Swain. Capt. Hannah, would not enter against Judge Ferguson. 0 ' ' You can't expect aid and comfort from a German because we are at war with his country, hut we should expect and do expect every American who claims allegiance to the stars and stripes to be loyal and true in the open or behind curtain.

It was delivered some time ago as a con mencement address at an academy and is a real inspiration, especially to young people, for whom it was pri marily intended. -o Our friendly warning to Editor Sentelle that two items in a recent issue of his paper, The Canton Ob server, might be misconstrued and put him in the class of the near-disloyal is worth almost a column of his space last week. We regret that he doesn't seem to' take what was said in the spirit in which it was meant simply that all Americans should 'just now, regardless of party and politics, quit knocking, criticising or ridiculing the President or his ad ministration. , Just now Senator Chamberlain and Mr. Roosevelt are trying to embarras the situation and cripple what has been done towards winning the war against Germany and some time ago some Republicans met at Hickory, in this state, and sounded the keynote of the coming political campaign which was to be wholesale charges against the Pres ident and his administration in their management of the war in which we are engaged. We hope Horace, al though a known Republican, has not determined to enter the Observer in the list of papers that will carry out auch a campaign. Of coarse he can if he, wishes without consulting us but we hope he doesn't. O ROCK HILL ITEMS The Lanier Literary Society met January 17.

T. L. REVELLE. FROM CAMP SEVIER. -' Greenville, S. C, Jan. 18. Editor Mountaineer: - Just a few items from Camp Se vier. The name of this camp should, have been Camp, Severe for it has 'been the most severe weather - here ever before known, the old residents say. Last Sunday morning regis tered the coldest, it being seven be low. We found old Co. H all busted up on our arrival at the camp on Decem ber 16. 1917.. You will hardly find two oi the boys in the same company. Among the late changes made we notice that Capt. W. F. Swift has been transferred from the 119th In fantry to the 118th Infantry. Maj. J. H. Howell is in command of this reg iment, the colonel being absent on detached duty. Sergeants L. L. Allen and Thos. Leatherwood have been transferred from headquarters train and military police to the 120th In fantry, attached only. Sergeant Jerry C. Mehaffey, who was called in along with all the na tional guard recruiting officers, has been assigned to duty with headquar ters Co. 119th Infantry.. . Lieut.: Samuel C. Plott is reported very much improved and will soon be able to leave the hospital. There was a peculiar disease spread rapidly over Camp Sevier Christmas week known as the A. W. 0. L. ab sent without laave. Hundreds of the boys were stricken with it. Most of them are recovering slowly in the dif ferent guard houses of the 30th di vision. We are sorry to say some of the old Co. H boys were among the afflicted. Mr. Arlo McCracken, of Iron Duff, and W. M. Jones, of Clyde, were visiting relatives nere bunday and Monday. Mr. Chas. Hampton, of Canton, who owns a store here, left for home Sunday. Most of the mji in camp will be granted furloughs home beginning about February 1 to spend a few days with their friends and loved ones, for it is a settled fact that 'ere the March wind blows this Division will either in France or well on their way there. J. Mark Liner, who has been in the west the past year, has arrived here. He expects to locate here. John Lddbetter, Jolley and Davis, of old Co. H, are home on furloughs this week. Mr. W. H. Jones, our barber; says this place is so lonesome that the hoot owls die with the blues and Mr. Jones is generally right when he says anything. Miss Josephine Davis has returned from Waynesville, where she spent the holidays. Paul Rhinehart has accepted a po sition with the Globe cafe. Dr. Martin has returned from-an extended visit to Canton, Health conditions at Camp Sevier have greatly improved the past two weeks, there being but four deaths reported in that time A. A.

' .' ? . T. S. Morrison Company A5HEYILLE, K. C " r i THE WEATHER IN 1860-'61. Route 1, Clyde, N. C. Editor Mountaineer: Aa I have been housed up for some weeks with cold and grippe I don't hear anything but cold weather and war talk. It seems that a great many have bad memories. You hear them say "we have never had such a long, cold spell before." I will give you a little of my ex perience. The fall of '60 and '61 wa had a cold spell that' started in the first part of December, 1860, and was longer than this has been, lasting untU about the first of February, 1861. My recollection now is that the water courses all were frozen over solid as a cement bridge and we could cross them anywhere. We have had a few nights lately as cold as then but at that time it remained cold until a general thaw. I will give one instance of hew cold it was. My father hail a large beef killed the day it first tamed so cold, which weight 648 wands and which was quartered and put ia the smokehouse. The night following it froze so hard you could not cat with anything but an axe, It lay there until about the first of Febru ary, when it seemed just as fresh as when killed. The spring of '61 was an one and there; was an extra fine crop of wheat made, though there not half as much sown then as now. We certainly have had a long, cold, gloomy spell of weather, and there must be untold suffering on the bat- tiefronta if it is anything like cold there as here. We should all do everything in our power to give all the aid we can in helping soldiers and our government to bring this fiendish war te a speedy close. Bat it should not dose until Kaiser- ism ia put under. I certainly enjoy reading year meet excellent paper. I think yon are making the best paper we haw If this is worth publish ing use K: it not chock it in tne waste basket. Toots, j. m. l.

JV Hyatt ti RATCLIFF COVE ITEMS We are having some cold winter out here snow, sleet and ice. The oldest people say there is more ice than ever before in their recollec tion. It is a difficult matter to get wood enough to keep comfortable and supply the cook stove. There are but few topics of con versation in our section the weath er, Hoover, Garfield and President Wilson. As to the weather, it needs no comment, for its effects and re sults are visible everywhere. As to Mr. Hoover, he is accomplishing much and we hope to see further re sults. Mr. Garfield did the wise thing, I think, when he took hold of the fuel situation with a firm grip, though there are some critics who i free to criticise his course. Some go so far as to refer to him as King Garfield. It was somewhat amusing to me to be in a small town in this county on Monday morning and witness some results of Mr. Garfield's orders. In this town there were some few who live ia the incorporate limits of the town who seem to have no occupa tion except loafing on the streets in fair weather and when it ia too in element tney seek shelter and pro tection in places of business where they crowd around stoves to keep comfortable, thus trying the pa tience of the man or men who are trying to make an honest living. But it was difficult on Monday for them. When they started on their usual rounds the situation was different. The places of business were all closed, so they had to loiter on the streets and didn't know which way to tarn for comfort Now, so far as President Wilson is concerned, he is always "on the Job' and at the right time with a level head and well-balanced mind. I see from the papers the political pot is beginning to simmer so far as legislation ia concerned. One thing needs special attention and it calls for men with courage and backbone to represent us in that respect. We should have a dog law aad protect the sheep Industry. We should get rid of the worthless dogs in oar county. We need better roads and schools also. Aunt Sultenit Turner, who 1 been ia feeble health for some time, does not seem to improve. J. M.
