,; Interesting History
Interesting history and. asso
ciations are attached to Hot
Springs, which far and away is
the oldest resort point in North
Carolina; dating back more than
100 years.
The first authentic record of
white tenancy at Hot Springs,
(then called Warm Springs) was
in 1784 when the place was own
ed by Jaspes Dagy. Records of
a transaction involving the land
show and entry by the register
of deeds, who, apparently un
able to read Dagy's signature,
made a few scribbling lines and
added "This is wrote in Dutch I
think." - -
In 1825 it was a popular resort
as some time previous to' that a
massive brick hotel building had
been erected; with 13 tall colonial
columns representing the original
13 colonies. In , that year, the
hotel, capacious as it was. beirur
200 feet"Iong,"c6ufd not -accomo
date all the guests who repaired
there, and people slept on cots
on the porches or in tents . until
vacancies occured in the' hotel
rooms.
This hotel was burned about
the time of the war Between the
States, an other buildings suc
ceeded it In 1880 a 8Drinsr was
discovered discharging water at
a temperature of 106 degrees.
Thereupon the name of the place
was changed from Warm Springs
to Hot Springs. ..
Included in the grounds at
present are 16 marble pools, sub
merged, so that the hot mineral
water flows in directly from the
ground, a bath house, and Spring
of drinking water.
The mineral waters are bene
ficial to persons suffering with
rheumatism, gout, and -kindred
afflictions The hotel will cater
to pleasure resorts and .persons
suffering with non-eonthgious,
non-communicable ailments that
may be treated by the ' hot min
eral waters. .

If you can think pf anything that
can be done to beautify or build up
our town, go to it. Keep your ca
pital at home; patronize home in
dustnes; neip your mercn ants so
they can sell cheaper; alwajs get
your work done in your own town
if possible: subscribe and pay for
the iome papers, don't steal or
borrow them to read Subscribe. If
you follow these suggestions and
your town does not improve and
build up it will not be your fault
Try it.
Don't patronize home talent. Lf
you want some one to give a lec
ture, don't employ any of your
townsmen, no matter how well
qualified they are; Bend for some
stranger so that you can' let him
carry your surplus money away
with him. Don't patronize home
schools; it is not stylish, you konw
Send your children off, it will cost
you more, but then it more

that come around. You canuse a
good deal of your surplus cash in
that way. But be sure and do not
attend our home .entertainments;
it might further the intt-rcst of
your town. ;

nothing could be father from the

Conferees Agree On Bonus Bill but
It Goes Behind Tariff In
Both
v
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11:-
Conferees on the soldiers' bonus
bill reached an agreement late
today and it was announced
that, the measure would - be 're
ported to-morrow to the House.
It will not be called up there,
however, until after the confer
ence report on the tariff bill has
been disposed of which may be
on Wednesday or lnursday.
After the house acts the bonus
will go to the Senate where al
so it is .to be put behind the
tariff. t
Four major changes were
made in the bjll in conference,
They were: ,
Elimination of the Simmons'
amendment authorizmg the fi
nancing of the bonus out of in
terest from the foreign debt.
Elimination of the land re
clamation feature, which; under
the Senate plan embodied in
the Smith-McNary Reclamation
Bill, would have involved s an
expenditure of $350,000,000.
ine limiting ,ot the time m
whiqh veterans might, file ap
plications for a bonus to January
1928. - a i.
Acceptance of the House pro
vision fixing the amount to be
advanced for far or home aid to
the amount the aidixistdsert
vice credit increased by. 25,perN
cent in place of Senate plan of
amounts ranging from 100 per
cent o the adjusted service if
the application were made in
923 to 140 per cent if applica
tion were made in 1928 or there
after.
No important change was
made in the adjusted service
certificate option with its "provi
sion for loans to veterans by
banks m the next three years
and f ox Government loans there
after. The. vocational training
aid option and the provision for
cash payments to veterans
whose adjusted service credit
would not exceed $50 also were
unchanged.
Much of the three hours' ses-
sioh of the conferees was under
stood to have been devoted to a
discussion of whipping the bill
into such a shape as would meet
the publicity expressed objec
tions of President Harding. It
was represented by some of the
Republican managers ; that the
measure probably would Have
better chance of presidential
approval without the Simmons'
amendment ; and the reclama
tion option and accordingly,
those were voted out.
There still was no official in-
ormation as to whether Mr.
Harding would approve the
measure in its present form, but
prpponements believe he will,
while opponents are firmly .of
the opinion that he will not.
Owing to a promised fight' on
the tarriff bill conference report
in the Senate it may be 10 days
or two weeks before-the bonus
measure reaches the White
House. . ' 1 .

Troubles Of Our
Own Making
Simple precautions would
avert most of the railroad cros
sing horrors. Here are a few
rules, which, if followed, would
save many lives:
Never approach r a i 1 r o.a d
tracks that must be crossed at
grade, without this thought:
'fHere is the place where I must
play safe!" Have your car un
der control, then you will be
prepared for any 'emergency.
You know the importance of'
having good brakes on your car.
Look them over, from time to
time. v
Probably nine out often times
there will not-be a train near
enough to check your progress
over the tracks. Make no effort
to go across, until, by careful
use of both eyes and ears, you
have sized up the situation.
All must agree that a little
time spent in trying' to protect
life and limbs is a good invest
ment. We use up some time
hunting bargains iri stores. Bet
ter plan to hold onto the life you
possess. No bargain . pounter
has another tfr offefyott.-When
your end comes, you will be a
long time dead.
Maybe, when you get near the'
railroad tracks, you sec a train
coming, and the thought pops in
to your mind, "I can beat it
across!" That thought is a
mere whim. Your judgment is
not speaking. In such, a cat
wait for your ' sober secon,
thought. ,
Remember that a fast train
can run the quarter mile from
the whistling post to the cros
sing in fifteen seconds. ; Do you
know just exactly how far you
can make your car go in -one-
fourth of a minute? Most of us
fail to do our best in an emer
gency. Do you admire a man who
tries to beat a train over a cros
sing, when he has his family or
friends in the car with him, de
pending upon him for protec
tion? If such a man were to.
run his business so carelessly
as that, we greatly fear, that 'the
balance would show upon the
wrong side of his ledger. ',i Most
of us are very weary of reading
newspaper accounts of death
and destruction. ' Let's be root-'
ers for safety at the crossing!'
