Washington, Feb. 18. The Ami ri-

.v r"r protecting American sa:bi'..
,,n I :hips from submarine:; ha; giv
,n rise to much speculation as to
when, the step will he taken. The
belief everywhere that there will he
action not later than next week, if
rothing happens to precipitate it he
fore, is based upon the knowledge
that the President wdshes to avoid
calling an extra session of Congress
if possible and the reiterated declar
ations of members of the administra
tion that the present conditions, un
der which most of the American
ships in overseas trade have been
frightened into conceding sailing
dates, cannot be permitted to con
tinue. The small number of vessels sunk
by submarines within the past few
days is attracting no litttle atten
tion. Officials always point out,
however, that this does not alter the
fact that through fear of the cons-,
quences, American ships and many
of those of other nationalities are re
maining in port. The opening of
Halifax as a port of examination, al
lowing some vessels to avoid th dan
cer area by not going to Kirkwall,
is expected to somewhat lessen the
effects of the virtual blockade of
eastern American ports.
Every means at the disposal of
the government continued to be used
to prepare for an eventuality, and
the administration believes no time
has been wasted. If a decision to
arm American merchantmen should
be reached it is understood that it
could be done very quickly.
There has been no further develop
ments in the situation between the
United States and Austria-Hungary
and Turkey. While press dispatches
from Berlin told of the dispatch of
official word of the release of the
American prisoners on the prize ves
sel Yarrowdale, the receipt of the
notice has not reached the state de
partment. CARRYING BABIES
Comes Handy for a Woman, But a
Man Always Makes a Botch of it.
Monroe Inquirer:
A man in Missouri was carrying
Ins baby on one arm and stooped
down to pick up a spool of thread
fmm the floor and he fell over a
bucket of coal. The baby was not
hurt, but two of the man's ribs
were broken. Now that is just like
a man. 'Why, a woman can carry a
baby on one arm and she can have
on n pair of high heeled shoes that
would pile any man all in a heap, but
f-he can hold that baby and at the
!-ame time button her husband's col
lar, make up a bed, take up the ash
put a stick of wood one the fire,
dust the furniture, wind the clock,
pick a pin off the floor, swat a fly op
the hack of her neck, knock a cat out
of the milk pan, take the biscuits out
of the stove, draw a bucket of water,
s-hoo the chickens out of the garden,
Tut a clean rag on a cut finger,
comb out the tangled hair of the lit
fle girl, give the bay who needs it a
thrashing, give a hungry tramp a
hand-out, tie on a hair ribbon, take
down the telephone receiver and
hang it up when the conversation is
over with the other hand and never
strain a muscle and it will not be
lng in addition to the things named
and specked that she will be cast
ing her vote and ruling the nation
with that free hand.

North Carolina Regiment comprising
about 150 men stationed in Shelby

Previous to July 1st, 1916, the

any part of the world.
Capt. H. A. Logan received orders
Wednesday from Adjutant General
Royster, who has been notified that
the troops will be inspected for en
trance into the National Guard Mch.
1st and 2nd. No orders have been
received relative to the drills and
maneuvers, which will come under
the National Guard service.
Following the mustering out of the
troops, Lieutenant Lieberts and a
Sergeant of the quartermaster de
partment paid the soldiers for their
16 days service in January. The pay
roll amounted to $6,070'. This in
cluded pay for clothing allowance
which some members were entitled
to. When a soldier enlists he has
an initial allowance of $43.93 worth

The soldiers 150 strong lined up

rear of the Royster building by the
paymaster's table where they receiv
ed every cent that the government
was due them for the 16 days service

v.i re drinking heavily Saturday and
Sunday. It is not known that they
had a grievance against Lipscomb,
but they went to his house and tried
to get in through the back door.
Lipscomb who is married and was at
home with his wife and children
would not let them in and they went
around to the front door where they
made another attempt to force an en
trance over the protest of Lipscomb.
Lipscomb says one attempted to fire
a pistol at him but the weapon
snapped. It turned out that the pis
tol in the pocket of Ben Nance was
not loaded. Lipscomb used a single
barrel shot gun and the load that kill
Jed Dan Nance entered the forehead.
When Dan fell dead one of the two
pints of whiskey which he carried in
his hip pockets broke. Ben Nance
had just turned his back on the house
when Lipscomb fired at him, the full
load from the shot gun entering tho
back of his head.
Dan Nance, the dead negro was 23
years of age and single. He lived
cm Mr. T. H. Lowery's plantation.
Ben Nance, wounded, is married, 21
years of age and lives on Mr. Hayne
Patterson's plantation. Both of the
Nance negroes were peaceable and
quiet citizens when sober.
