FRIDAY, May 16th, 1913 Great ' American, Battle ship Cruise Planned. Secretary Daniels of tho navy department ia planning to send the Atlantic fleet on a three months' cruise of the Mediterra nean next winter, . sailing Ja nuary 1st. The tentative pro gram made public a few days ago calls for a fleet of at least twesny-one battleships including the new dreadnoughts, and in point of total tonnage and arm a raent the fleet will be much grea ter than that which went around the world in the famous practice cruise of 1907. The object of the contemplated tour is said to be the stimulation of enlistment and the education of officers and men. Besides varied sea maneu vers it is expected that stops will be made at many important ports and the men in the fleet will be given shore, leave. So long as Uncle Sam has to main tain a navy, Mr. Daniels believes the general public should know its good points No Wine at Mr. Bryan's Diplomation Dinners. William Jennings Bryan's de cision to serve no wine at official dinners given by him has attrac ted more attention in Washing ton than his reconciliation with Sneaker Champ Clark or some vt the momentous 'work he is do lug in the state department. The newspaper correspondents seems to have been surprised at Mr. Bryan's course, but there would have been greater cause for sur prise if Mr. Bryan bad done viol ence to his well known terape ranee principles. Before ac eepting the portfolio of the se eretary of statche discussed this? point with President Wilson. Because of the numerous com ments caused by the fact that . grape juice and i mineral water took the place of spirituous quors at the dinner given lost , week to Mr. Bryce, the retiring British ambassador, Secretary Bryan made a public statement, ; He said he did not intend to mag nify the importance of the non use of wine, and he frankly told , the diplomats that his failure conform to the capital's custom was due to the fact that he and Mrs,- Bryan and their parents be fore them were teetotalers and that liquor had' never been serv ed at their table' ana presuma bly never would be. THE CRAZE FOR SPENDING Railway Magnate Declares Public v Economy Has Become a Lost . Art. -v ' (James J. Hill, in Leslie's Weekly.) ; The whole American public is 'wild with spending Public eco carries or requires an apropria tion needs little else to commend it to any legislative body. All bonds or municipalities are now refunded instead of ; being paid when due. The excuse for a ton1 issue is always that "pos terity" ought to bare part of the cost of public improvements. But when we, as posterity, come a long we not only do not repudiate the contract, but add new bur dens to the' old and shove both of them on to the future in the shape of new and refunding bond issues.1 ; It is perhaps the meanest form of stealing ever invented, be- 3 it aJJs to the criminality ' ! i cf trust the baseness of X the future resources c a chi! iren, who since : . t c : a an end of bor : ; 3 i'.zio, Will have Men and Religion Movement. , The meeting that waa held some time ago at Asheville for the Men and Religion Movement ought to do a great deal of good in arousing the people to a reali zation of the great responsibility that is resting upon thenu It is the men of the country that will have these things to do. When a movement is started it should be pushed along and we know that the conversion of the world is the greatest proposition ever put up to the men. Greater even than governingour country or pushing railroads or getting oans for foreigh countries. It means the saving of the whole world and this is for us to do. So we hope this may tako hold on our men and that they may become moving factors in this rvcrld wide movement. Word just received shows that the Phillipines have become in fluenced and Australia is feeling the power. In six meetings 21,000 persons attended. 600 at tended study classes and there is great success. In Asheville the men are stir red up over it. Why should Marshall not do something also? We do hope that tho men of our churches may not be left be hind in this movement. Enough Wheat For All. A report issued by the British Board of Agriculture and Fishe ries, which we get through a Federal Department of Agricul ture publication, contains a review compairing the extension of wheat area and growth of population between the years 1901 and 1911 in various count ries of the world. The statement shows that in 10 years the wheat area had increased 22 9 per cent, whereas the population had in creased only 13 per cent. These figures include the greater part of the wheat growing regions and most of the wheat-eating Deooles of the world, and the belief is expressed that inclusion of the countries for which figur es are not available would hard ly affect the general conclusion namely that the supply of wheat is at present keeping pace wit! demand. A more encouraging view of the world's economic tuation and prospects we hav not seen for some time, thougl to be sure, this report does not reckon with the fact that per capita demand for wheat is ris ing and that various Nations hitherto non-consumers of wheat now demand it as part .of their food. If beef production were keeping the pace as well wheat production, its seriousness as a problem would be indefinite ly postponed. Bible Conference. The News-Record has received a notice of the Bible Conference to be held in Asheville, June 8 to 18, under the auspices of the First Baptist Church of Aihe ville. Several very roted spea kers will be present and a good conference is promised. We are glad that this opportu nity is offered to the ministers of this section to have a conference whpre so much good can be got ten at very little expense. The The rates of board will be $1 00 a day and upward and many should take advantage of the offer. Rev. W. B. Riley D. D, R. T, Bryan D. D, P. E. Burroughs D, D. and Arch Clerie D. D, Wril be present. Dr. Waller will also have charge of a department. It is to be hoped that many minis ters from Madison may be pre sent.

"When you Bee Mr. Wilson, tell him for me that if ever there should come a time when he thinks any influence or resources that I have can be used for the country they are wholly at his disposal." These, the last words of J. Pierpont Morgan, spoken to Col. George Harvey, the day before Mr. Morgan sailed for Europe, never to return alive, were related tonight in an ad dress by Colonel Harvey before a gathering of bankers and other representative men at a dinner of the Trust Companies of America, Mr. Morgan was a Republican and in the words of Colonel Harvey, not only re garded the political views ad vanced by Mr. Wilson with hon est apprehension, but never con sidered the Democratic party fully capable of governing this Nation." His message to the new President, Colonel Harvey cited as measuring the depths of the man's patriotism. "Because of the contrary proc livities of my own as to Mr. Wilson, I frankly did not seek opportunities to discuss public affairs with Mr. Morgan during the past few years." said Colonel Harvey. "As you all know when he thought he was right in his judgment be was unaccustom ed to betray any lack of positive ness and there were times when his didatic faculty so closely ap proached the dynamic in opera tion that one of prudent disposi tion was inclined to be wary. USE CANNON'S PHRASE. "But the election had taken place, the inevitable had happen ed, and using Speaker Cannon's phrase. Mr. Wilson had become his President as much as mine- perhaps in fact, a little more Anyhow there was no cosntraint upon our conversation when saw him him for the last time in his library on the day before he went away. He was optimistic as ever regarding tho country and I naturally spoke hopefully of the prospects of . the incoming Administration. - Then followed this curious episode. Suddenly turning those piercing eyes upon me, Mr. Mor gan said: 'Do you remember that American speech you made in London?' I remembered very well. ! It was not a speech only a few succinct remarks at the close of a private dinner in reply to an anglicized Sycophant who had mistakenly thought to curry favor with Mr. Morgan by speak ing contemptuously of Mr. Br yan, ! who, on the preceeding day, as it happened, I had Intro duced to him at a reception. " 'And do you recall?" he ask ed. 'those lines from Scott that you quoted when that man' can hear now the emphasis upon the two words when 'that man had left the room?' "I did of course, and began to repeat: ' "Breathes there a man with soul so dead 'Who never to himself hath said- 1 hesitated for an instant an the succeeding words came from the bier arm chair with odd dis tinctness: '"This is my own, my native land Then very .quietly Mr. Morgan asked if I could recall the re maining lines and I quoted im perfectly: " M XT Un.H( ItntVi nnAM rottVlin him burn'd 'As home his footsteps he hath turn'd 'From wandering on a foreign strand? " T ..W . W-notKn . mark him well x x x x.' "Half a minute, gentlemen, is a long time but for fully that period. I should say, Mr. Morgan sat perfectly still. Then uncon sciously beating time upon the arm of his chair as he used to do in church, he repeated as it soli oquizing: 'Who never to himself hath said, This is my own my native land i "And rising with difficulty from bis chair, for he was then quite feeble, he said, with the empha sis that only quietude can give: TACSTO WILCON. tell him for , me, that if there should ever come a time when he thinks any influence or re sources that I have can be used for the country, they are wholly at his disposal.' . i "Barring tho usual leave tak ing, those were the last words I heard from the lips of Mr. Mor gan. They were the words of a true patriot, of a great, a very great American, spoken from tho depths of a passionately loyal heart. Surely I can do no bet ter than to leave them with you to remember, to cherish and to feel so long as you all shall live in this, our native land." Referring to Mr. Morgan's tes timony before the Pujo Com mittee at Washington, Colonel Harvey said: ' "Although mentally as strong as ever, physically he was sadly broken when summoned to Wash ington. At his age and in his condition, it was the severest or deal of his life; but it was for the best, as he himself came to realize. " 'I hated to go," he said to me, with characteristic simplici ty, the day before he sailed a way 'I hated to go, but I am glad I went I think I did some good.' FAVORABLE IMPRESSION. "It waj a comprehensive ut terance in his usual few words a revelation, too, of his inner most thought and aspiration. I had spoken of tne favorable im pression that had been created by his testimony and had evin ced the keenest appreciation. " 'Yes,' he had said, 'I am convinced that what you say is true. I think they know me better now. I hope so." "No sensitive man, no human man and Mr. Morgan was most human and mostsensitive could have failed to be touched by the multitude of friendly expressions which had come to him from all sections of the country."

The nights have been quite cool here for the past week, and we were visited by Jack Frost, Saturday and Sunday nights. Early corn and beans was slight ly injured. A singing school was started here Thursday. The people seem to be deeply interested. Mr. Tom Payne and family of Greenville, Tenn., were visiting at Allanstand last week. From reports we will have some more weddings to report soon. It seems as if the matri monial fever has broke out in our village and wefcarthatsome of our old bachelers and maids have caught the disease. , This is spring time and the world seems inviting. A few months ago we were in the throughs of a winter ,desperate in its mescury. Asperation for the fountain of youth flows freely. Pale cheeks are rcinvi gorated for every hillside is garden and every forest a wealth of creen. The birds in their carol of glee, the playful lambs, the rolicing barefooted boy, the quiet contentment of lowing herds tell us that Spring is hope and the harvest golden. The panorama surpassed that of any other season. A little la ter on the garish green of the foliage is mellowed by the touch of tne Master Painter until 1 the fields and roadsides become cloth ed in purple and gold, ancient symbals of victory and royalty, What is now cheerful becomes listless, silence, not song.
