TIII3 nEVIEW: EEEDSVILLE, N. C. PAGE TT70. TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 19H THE BREAKING FORTH OF CALAMITY JOHN MOTLEY The breaking forth of the Hen. John Motley Morehead, chairman of the Standpat Republicans of North Caro lina, into shouts of calamity, with the aid and approval of .Secretary Gilliam Crissom, of the same executive com mittee, in the face of what is going on in this country, is the sort of stuff which induces the horse lauh among all who notice real-conditions. In his call for the Hinting of the Republican State Convention, Chair man Morehead, with a solemnity which is positively delightful, refers to "protection and its ever attendant prosperity," and invite into one hall all brands of Republicans, among these the followers of Roosevelt and Taft, "as well as those who are willing"- to follow in the footsteps of these pa triotic statesmen." If the invitation of Chairman John Motley is accepted, then as one set of "follow ers" step into the hall the other s t of "followers" will be making an exit by the other door, or will have gathered in another hall. For it is known of all men that the footsteps of Taft are making im prints in different directions on the . sands of time. Hut that is not alt from the delight ful Chairman Morehead. for here ap peared his calamity howl, the con cluding paragraph of his convention tall reading: "Realizing the evil days to which B-emocrattc -misrule has brought us; let all who hold anti -Demo-, cratic views render assistance in re turning our common country to its routed progress and prosperity." This I being translated means literally that the Republicans leaders want to re turn to the "progress and prosperity" of fat paying offices from which the unfeeling Democrats have cast them intc outer darkness. "Protection and its ever attend ant prosperity" indeed! Has Chair mnn Morehead forgot ten 'he Roostyelt and protection panic of 1907? Is he deaf.: dumb, and blind, to prosperity for all the people under the Demo cratic tariff of today? The trouble with Chairman Morehead Is that he continues . standpat and wants the prosperity for the few which is the handmaid - of protection, the good friend of the Interests. And Chairman Morehead Is beside himself when he calamity howls "the evil days to which Democratic misrule has brought us." Why, bless his dear Chairman ship, the country is In fine condition so far as affairs at home are concerned, and we do not believe that he will dare to charge up troubles from the Euro pean war to the Democratic adminis tration, though being a standpat Re publican it is not known to what lengths ho will go. The conclusion of the whole matter Is that the I Ion. John Motley is run B ning amutk with his talk of protection and present "evil" days. If he will refer to the first Tuesday in Novem ber, 1912,' ho will find that th people of this country shouted "Scat" to pro tection and to the Republicans for the evil they had brought to this country. But we will forgive him if he just pulls off that stunt of having the Roosevel tians and the Taftians go in the same direction at one time in following in the footsteps of their respective chi.f tlans who are still engaged in batting each other over the head. Chairman Morehead is positively amusing in his convention call and for the life of us we cannot see how the Hon, Gilliam Grissom came to let him do it!--Raleigh News and Observer. NEGRO KILLED IN CARROLL COUNTY BY MT. AIRY MAN In Carroll county. Virginia, eight miles from Mt. Airy, Cleve Belton, a well known white man residing in Mt. Airy, shot and fatally wounded Charles Albright, a colored driver em ployed by a livery firm at the latter place, because the driver refused to divulge the whereabouts of a well known Mount Airy business man whose life Belton is alleged to have threatened. Belton was carried to Hillsville, where. In all probability, he will have to answer to the charge of murder, as the negro has since died. Immediately after the shooting, Belton drove to Mt. Airy and surren dered to the mayor, who release! him, but he was subsequently arrested by the sheriff and held for the Virginia officers, He willingly wtut to Virgin ia, declaring that the shooting was ac cidental. ' ' ... The facts leading up to the shooting are that Belton alleges that C. E. I.un dy, a married man, had been paying considerable attention to his sister in law, who is a beautiful young lady, and that he. had taken several trips with her, carrying her to her country home a week ago. The trial promises some sensational developments and may result in the arrest and convlctiou of the business man under the white slave act, as it is charged that he has violated this law by carrying a woman across the State line for immoral purposes. The : Danville Register thinks the price of tobacco will not be materially affected adversely as a result of a foreign war and the consequent tem porary cancellation of a few foreign orders. o - ' A Washington dispatch says that American cotton mills are expected to work night and day to meet the for eign demand for clothing. oyer Lower Prices Effective from August 1, 1914 to against any reduction during that Touring Car Runabout Town Car F. O. B Detroit, all cars tully equipped. In United States of America only. Further, we will be able to obtain the maximum efficiency in our factory production, and the minimum cost in our purchasing and sales departments if we can reach an output of 300,000 cars between the above dates. , And should we reach the production, we agree to pay as the buyer s share from $40 to $60 per car -on or about August 1st 1915-to every retail buyer who purchases a new Ford car between August 1, 1914 and August 1, 1915. For further particulars regarding these low prices and profit-sharing plan, see ALL THE WAY IN AUTO FROM VANCOUVER TO REIDSVILLE Mr. and Mrs W. M. Snipes and son have been spending a few days here, their old home. They came from Vancouver, B. C, travel ing in a touring automobile. Mr. Snipe? gave an intereting nar rative of "the long journey across the United States. He stated that he, Mrs. Snipes and their young son had left Vancouver on the 2Sth of April on their long trip, They went South, spending a period of four weeks in Portland and Salem. Oregon. From these two places the party traveled Southward to Los Angeles, Cal. From Los An geles they started on their long journey across the continest. From California they passed to Arizona, crossing the Great American Desert, a distance of two hundred miles. This was quite an achievement in itself as the desert was the great terror of the Forty-nine miners in the days of the gold rush. From Arizona their itenerary was across New Mexico, Colorado, Kan sas, Missouri, Illinois. Indiana, Ken tucky, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina to this city. Mr. Snipes says that after spending some time in this State he would return to Vanrouver, but was not certain whether he would make the return trip by auto. The machine although travel-worn still looked ;s though it is good for a couple more rounds. The back of the tonneau of the car was decorated with the pennants of the different States and cities that the party had passed through. ; In the tonneau there reposed a lit tle dog that was given to the party by the Indians out West. The machine is a Studebaker cer. According to Mr, Snipes it has given remarkable service. Oh the whole trip no serious breakdown was suf fered. The only repairs incidental to beakdowns amounted to something like $r0, a remarkable record if the length of the trip is considered. The engine did not get out; of whack once. .' v The car was on the road a period of about sixty or sixty-tHe days and covered a distance of about six thou sand miles. . The car besides the necessary bag gage contained a tent for camping out at night. The party occasionally did this stunt, though most of the time stops were made at hotels. Mr. and Mrs. Snipes and their son seem to have had the time of their lives on the trip if one could judge from the readiness and delight with which they answered the questions of the interested spectators. to CONTRABAND OF WAR ARTICLES ARE NAMED G;-.at Britain's contrr.brnd of war prodamation was cabled to the Srate Depatment at Washington by Ambasador Fage. It placed arms, ammunition and all distinctly mili tary supplies on the list of "abso lute" contraband; and designated food, grain, money, horses and gener al supplies as "conditional" contra band subject to seizu-o and to c -n-traband laws then intended for the use of a power with which Great Britain is at war. The proclamation follows the usual lines,: and those issued by other pow ers involved in war probably will be virtually identical. It names the following as absolute contraband: ' 7 - 1 Arms of all kinds and their component parts. 2 Projectiles, charges and cart ridges of all kinds and their dis tinctive component parts. 3 Powder and explosives especial ly prepared for use in war. 4 - Gun mountings, limber boxes, limbers, military wagons, field forges anil their distinctive component' parts.' . : 5 Clothing and equipment of a distinctly military character. tl All kinds of horses of a dis tinctly military character. auaie arougni ana pack ani mals suitable for use in war.

FAMOUS PREACHERS SENT OUT BY CLEVELAND COUNTY Cleveland county has produced three famous brother preachers, the Dixons. Frank Dixon became famous on the Pacific Coast. Tom, who be gan as a lawyer, then preacher, and finally the author and playwright, fill e dmany big pulpits before he quit. Clarence, the elder brother, filled the biggest preaching jobs in this country, and is now pastor of Spurgeon's old church in London. They were all sons of a stalwart old country preacher ; While the three brothers which Union county has given to the Baptist min istry, Messrs. James, Edward and Sam Long, sons of Esq. W. G. Long, will perhaps never he as famous as the Dixon brothers, they will be as useful in their respective place. Rev. Ed ward Long, now pat or at North Wilkesboro,- peached in the Monroe church Sunday. His brothers had previously filled the same pulpit this summer, and there is considerable speculation among members of the congregation as to which is the best preacher. AH are gaduates of Wake Forest College and all have taken seminary courses. Rev. James Long, the eldest, is pastor at Dunn. He has served important pastorates in Vir ginia and South Carolina before re turning to his native State, Rev. Sam Long, the youngest, is yet in the semi nary, but is spending the summer with his parents and keeping in touch with the soil by fighting grass for a time. There has been another trio of broth er preachers from this county-the Belks. Dr. Sam Belk, a well known Methodist preacher, Dr. George Belk, a Presbyterian, and Rev. Darling Belk, who became a Baptist, but un fortunately died at the beginning of his career. And. come to think about it, there is another trio the Sniders. Rev. Joel Snider, a graduate of Wake Forest and of the Louisville Seminary, is pastor at Fayetteville, Rev. John W. Snider, of Concord, and Rev. E. C. Snider, of this county. The latter have it on the others a little in that they are sons of a preacher and the grandsons of a preacher. Monroe Journal. FOR SALE. A good second-hand surry at a bdtrgaln.-rj. E. Amos : $490 440 690 TYPHOID FEVER MUST GO. SAY THE HEALTH OFFICERS The eleven counties in North Caro lina employing whole-time health of ficers are now feeling the forces of their borders. Typhoid is a pre ventable disease and typhoid must go, they say. Dr. H. H. Utley, of Johnston coun ty, breaks the record by vaccinating 2S0 people in 300 minutes. Dr. B. E. Washburn, of Nash county, during the month of July gave 2,582 Inocula tions for typhoid fever, while Dr. E. F. Strickland, of Forsyth, has admia istered 1.S23 doses. Dr. B. W. Pare, of Robeson county, says: "I could use 3,000 or 4.000 doses within the next three or four weeks if the serum is available." From Dr. G. M. Coop- er, of Sampson county, comes this statement: "I have engagements for every day for three Weeks ahead, with two or three exceptions, and all on request of the people themselves for the treatment. Vaccination against smallpox, free, more than 1,500 per sons to date since Janoary." At the hands of these and other wide-awake health officials, the chance for having typhoid will be re duced to the minimum. Its doom is Inevitable, and with typhoid are go ing hookworm and smillpox. What these officials are doing for community health improvement is just begin ning to be known and felt. Not yet have they come fully into their own. COL. CUNNINGHAM OFFERS GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERS Col. John S. Cunningham advises the farmers to be careful in cutting and curing their tobacco and to cut it ripe, and to cure it bright. He looks for good prices for this year's crop. The Duham Sun quotes the colonel as saying: Farmers should have good and tight storage houses to pack their tobacco in case of a long damp and wet season; much of the tobacco will mold and change, its color unless this is attended to, and it should be looked after at once. " The farmers, too, should sow tur nips and seed all of the wheat and other crops possible this fall. Many farmers have good crops this year who broke their land early and broke their land deep. One man told of a farmer who plowed his land with four big mules and worked five to his harrow, and although we have had a severe drouth he has a big crop of corn. '.:--. The farmers in Eastern North raro lina who ploughed their tobacco and watered and set out their crops rarly in the season have fine crops of to bacco. Be on time! Have us to repair your watch.
