Christmas Tree
The day was so bad that the
Tree was not held on Christmas
night and, was postponed unti
Monday night. The evening was
fair and everybody came out aD
a rousing crowd was in the Court
House. The exercises were hel
there and the rroeram carried
out as published last week with
few exceptions.
About 600 persons were pre
sent and all were delighted with
the tree and its illumination
Good talks were made by Rev
Mr. Rexford and Rev. W.
Beach. Great credit is to
R
be
given to the Woodmen for this
enterprise and to the committees
consisting of Messrs Smith, Brit
tain, Gilbert and Dodson, sure
did their work well and deserve
great deal of credit. The star
and Woodman emblem prepared
by Mr. Btittain was especially
attractive and the colored globes
and lights were well placed.
We are sure that Marshall can
feel justly proud of. this enter
prise and we hope that this wi
be but the first' of many future
efforts on which every one has
part." - We are glad that the con
tnbutions that were made were
as much as they were and in the
future we are sure that many
more will be made. Once the
way. is opened we feel that future
accomplishments will be greater
Although it was late for the
tree The News- Record knows
that it was well worth the effort
. Thames should be given to t h
Madison Power and Light .Com
pany for their aid in giving t h
electricity for the illumination of
the tree and their aid. The Child
ren sang well and the aid given
by the Walnut Creek Class was
great. We are; especially .glad
that they came in and every .one
enjoyed the music that they gave
The addresses were in the true
Christmas' spirit and pleased
every one. It is especially grati
fying that every one felt they
had a part in the tree and may we
not hope that this is the begin
ning of a united .effort to make
Marshall, and Surrounding ' dis
tricts united in their desire to
push the community , spirit and
get together - on. many things
which will make the' town and
county. Then beres to the Com
munity Tree and may it be but
the precursor of greater and bet
ter ones in the f utnre.
Street Cleaning
The late rains have made the
roads almost impassable and the
'wagons that have, come, in have
brought the mud into the streets
until with the dirt that has come
1 down from the hillsides have
made our streets something that
is hard to realize. We wish that
s scraper might be passed along
the streets so that the passing
from one side to the other might
be a thinz easy to do Why not
put on some of the road sentence

The New Year
Time marks for each one of us
and the years have come v and
gone and the number is piling tip
fast. First for those living it
was 1800 and then it came 1900
and the years are going by and
1914 has about gone its course
and 1915 is signed by every one.
We wish that this new year may
be the best of all for the subscrib
ers of The News:Reccrd and that
the resolutions made may include
amongst them the resolve to do
BometuiLiir lur mo iuwu uu
county. The News-Record has
made the resolve te be a better
sheet in the future than in the
past and we hope to do still more
for our community than we have
ever done before. We have made
the resolution to be a newsier
paper than before and to stand
for the right and not show par
tiality in anything.
We hope that many persons
may resolve to subscribe for the
paper and so make it possible for
us to give them a better paper.
On this New Years d a y we
send out the wish to each of you
and greet you in that desire to
work with you in the development
of our county.

Thomas S, Rollins Gives
Out Most Interesting
Interview Upon His
Return.
VISITED JUAREZ,
MEXICO, AND SAW
. BULL FIGHT
Mr. Rollins Visited R. J. Tighe
and Family-Mr, Tighe is Do
ing Great Work, He Says.
Thomas S. Rollins returned
yesterday nfternoon from El-Paso
where he lias been visiting the
family of Prof, and Mr. R.
Tighe, formerly of this city, for
the past two weeks. Mr. Ro!
lins was accompained to El-Paso
by his lather and sister, Major
W, W. Rollins and Miss Myrtle
Rollins, who will spend the win
ter there.
In an interview with a Guzptte
News reporter today, Mr. Ko
lins SDoke interestingly of his
visit to El-Paso and Juarez.'Mexi
co! which is just across the bord
er from El-Paso, Mr. Rollins also
visited several of the northern
Mexican states, and says that,
from conservations he had with
several prominent Mexicans, he
believes the northern state
would welcotue annexation to the
United States. He says t h a
there seems to be no end in view
of the present trouble in Mexico
as it is now developed into a fact
ional fight between net) who
want to be president: that no
principles are involved, -
"El Paso is the most prominent
city of the southwest." said Mr,
Rollins, "and has a population of
a bout 70.000. The scare due to
the European war did not affe
the southwest, until England de
clared that crude cor. per would
be recognized as a contraband of
war. This action on the part o
England, unless it is rescinded at
once-will necessarily cause the
closing down of all the gold, si
ver and copper mines of the
southwest. The largest copper
smelting plant in the world is lo
cated in El Paso, and if it closes
thousands of men will be thrown
out of employment. '
The chamber of commerce of
El Paso last week-passed resolu
tions protesting' against the action
of England in declaring copper a
contraband .of war and forwarded
these resolutions to the senators
and members of the cabinet, ask
ing them to take immediate action
on the matter.
mere are thirteen banns in
El Paso and the First Nationa
has deposits amounting to $6,500.
000. This shows the wonderfu
prosperity of the city. The city
is now constructing another high
school, to cost about half a mil
Jnuaro
-f rotessor iighe, iormeriy head
of the Asheville city schools, is
now superintendent of the city
schools of El Paso and is doing
a great work there, being held in
high esteem by the citisens of the
city, Mr. Rollins said.
Mr. Rollins says that last Sun
day he witnessed his first bull
firrrifc The fiirhfc wa nnllnrt off
in Juarez and four bulls and two
horses were killed. He says
that it was a great occasion and
thousands of people attended .
However, very few Americans
were present, as it ; was rumored
thftt fei,era1 gaiBzaP WOHu
, .. ,. , .,
OUU Dgnt. in consequence Of
this rumor, Mr. Koluns says that
300' Villa troops were in attend
ance at the fight to protect the
people from an unexpected at
tack. . ''.:V:"'-""
"Juarez has been taken and
retaken nine times within the
iac,t i a ...ra
Mr. Roljins said.
Oriiu in una uccu ;afjuuicu iuui '
times within the past four years.!
General Villa capturing it the
last time about a year ago. ' His
brother is now in command of
the city, I saw him and he is
very much like the descriptions
that have been given of him; tall,
vreighs about 200 pounds, dark
hair and skin, and is half Indian.,
This Villa has charge of the Ex
change, said to be the largest
gambling, house on the j North
American continent. I visited
the Exchange while there and
saw hundreds of men, women and
children gambling at the wheels
and tables. , ,
"I visited the Careel " Publica,
or , city jail in which so many per
sons have been- executed during
the past four years;' It was in
deed a pitjful sight to . see the
conditions of the poor people
who had been placed there on
various alleged infractions of the
law. While I was there, which
was Thursday of last week, two
men had been sentenced to be
shot for having stolen some saaall
articler; but the soldieVs refused
to shoot them and the prisoners
were sent to jail."
In speaking of the city of Jua
rez, Mr. Rollins said:
"The American consul has ad
vised all Americans to stay out
of Mexico, as it is regarded as
dangerous to be found there. The
present conditions in Jaurez are
chaotic. However, I managed to
spend a few days there and in
several northern states of Mexico
without being molested as a spy
or filibjster. During the vari
ous battles that have been fought
at Juarez for the possession of
the city, a large number of the
houses have'been shot to pieces.
Especially is this true of that
postoffice, which was shot away
The war now going on there is
nothing but a guerilla warfare
and the end is net in sight. In
fact, it might last as long as the
the European war. T h e only
hope for Mexico now lies in some
relief from the United State.
"I feel confident that a large
per cent of the ' wealthier and
more intelligent citizens of the
northern states of Mexico favor
annexation to the United States."
. While in El Paso Mr. Rollins
was invited to attend a meeting
of the Rotary club, an organiza
tion to boost El Paso, and deliv
ered an. address.
J Mr. Rollins says that the Rio
Grande, which is the international
boundary line between this coun
try and Mexico, is now not ai
large as the Swannanoa river and
is getting smaller all the time.
The river, at certain seasons of
the year, dries up almost com
pletely.- Gazette-News.
