Thttksdav. Makch 4, 191S LOG.ILS AND PERSONALS Many of the readers of The News will be interested to know -that W. Trent Comann, of Char lotte, was married December 26th, at Lincolnton, to Miss Al lieMay Burns, of Wadesboro. The marriage kept a secret by the young eouftle until this week. Mr. J. L. Lyerly has rented Mrs. C. S. Gard's dwelling in the northern part of town and moved into it first of the week. Mrs. Gard expects to spend her time away from Lenoir during this summer and will leave town about the first of April. The court has been engaged this week with the civil docket and up to Wednesday noon only one case has been tried. J. F. Burros and wife against John A. Bush, for slander. The jury re turned a verdict against Bush for $700. damages and he gave notice of an appeal and at this time the case is not definitely disposed of. The court is now engaged on the trial of case of B. U. Annas against the Caroli na & North-Western Railway for $5,000 damages. The suit grew out of the unfortunate killing of Mr. Annas' child by a train on the road at Saw Mills in No vember 1914. Our readers are perhaps familiar with the acci dent, the child was playing on the track and was run over by the north bound passenger train and instantly killed. Later- Mr. Bush took an appeal to the Supreme Court and the Annas case was compromised by the railroad company paying Annas $750. The only other case considered was a mis trial, in Puette vs Turtle. Court ad journed Wednesday afternoon. Recommends Chamberlain' Cough Remedy. "I take pleasure in recommending Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to my customers because I have confidence ' in it. I find that they are pleased with it and call for it when again in need of such a medicine," writes J. W. Sexson, Montevallo, Mo. For sale by all dealers. Mia Triplett Eatertaina.

The new road and bridge over Mill Creek is nearly completed, the grade, fill and bridge are as near perfect as skill and pains can make them. Capt. Carter Winkler, of Wilkesboro, spent a few days here last week visiting friends. There is much serious sickness here, but we hope to report im provements soon. The patients include, Lawrence Barlow and children, Mrs. Max Sharp, Robt Goble, Jesse Hawkins, Edith Anderson, Estelle Melton, Mrs. John Price and Albert Winkler. The recent dry days has sum monsed all the farmers to the plow. Rush is the watchword now. A movement is on foot to con struct a new road for T. B. Le noir's barn to the iron bridge following the conture of the bot toms then the lands of Captain Winkler and F. A. Clinard. This would give us several miles of excellent grade. All our schools are closed ex cept at Laytown. I. H. March 3rd, 1915. OAK HILL ITEMS. The mass meeting at the school building last Friday night, which was called the Junior Or der at this place for the purpose of discussing and laying plans for the erection of a much heed ed school building, was well at tended by the patrons of the school and mem bers of the Junior Order. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Elbert McRary. Mr. T. E. Story explained the need and toe advantage of a new and larg er school building in a direct and interesting talk and then the meeting was thrown open for general discussion. It was apparent from the beginning that everyone fully realized the fact that we must either build a larger building or go backward in the way of school matters, and the spirit displayed at this meetingSwas certainly not of the "go backward" type, for when a proposition for the erection of a two-story bick building, to be at least 80x80 feet in dimension and to cost something like $4,000.00, was put before the meeting not a dissenting voice was heard, but instead, it was heartily endorsed by all present. If, "In union there is strength," a school building that we will all be proud of is in store for Oak Hill, for nothing can daunt such uni ty of purpose and determination as was displayed at this meeting. It was decided to raise the ne cessary funds for the erection of the proposed building by sub scription and a subscription list is being circulated and is meet ing with much success. Mr. J. T. Tolbert, whose sick ness was noted in these columns last week, is steadily improving. Messrs. Jarvis and Hinson Tolbert, who were at home last week on account of their father's illness, have returned to their school this week. Mr. Wiley G. Hartzog, of Le nojr, was in attendance at the mass meeting Friday night. He spent the night at Mr. F. M. Whitener's, returning to Lenoir Saturday morning. '. . , : Mr. John Downs, Jr., who spent a week or ten days Withl parents, returned to St. Louis on Thursday of last week. Mr. J. C. Sherrill spent Sat urday and Sunday with his wife and children, returning to his school at West Hickory Sunday afternoon. Mr. Lewis Lefevers has occu pied the West house near the school building. Rev. J. M. Shaver will conduct services at Union church at 11 a. m. on Saturday and Sunday. Uncle Joe. March 3rd, 1915. KINGS CREEK ITEMS. We have no news to give only most everbody in our neighbor hood has lagrippe, but glad to say they are improving. Mr. Green Barlow has moved to their niee farm that he bought of Mr. Smith Ferguson near the union store. Glad to have them with us. Mr. Herman Brookshire went to Watauga last week and pur chased a load of Watauga cab bage. Mrs. Lester Brookshire has been visiting her mother, Mrs. White, of Downsville. Mr. Ed. Haas was visiting at Downsviile last Saturday and Sunday. Must be some attrac tion over there. The school at this place is pre paring a nice program for the closing which will be the 12th of March. X. Y. Z. March 3rd, 1915. WHY FACTORIES ARE CLOSED. (Bay City National Farmer.) Precisely how the Demcratic Tariff law was operating before the war to give European manu facturers control of our market is well illustrated by the official customs figures covering the ten months of this year to November 1, as compared with 1913. Every month of 1913 showed an excess of merchandise ex ports over itoports, the year's total in our favor aggregating $691,000,000. The monthly excess ran down after the new Tariff became opera tive, Oct. 1, 1913. By March of last year it had run down to $4, 900,000. In April our balance was turned to a debit of $11, 200,000. The excess of imports over exports for April and until Sep tember 1, stood out in sharp con trast with the reverse results for the same months of 1913. Here are the figures: April $52,618,977 $11,200,000 May 60,883,700 2,548,806 June 32,159,790 457,400 July 21,909,008 5,538,844 August 50,267,567 19,400,396 $218,819,791 $39,145,496 By the close of August foreign merchandise in transit and in warehouse had been exhausted, and the War was having its full effect in temporarily stopping shipments from abroad. Europe recovered from that paralysis October andJNovember, however, and is steadily increasing in sales of manufacture here. Taking the five months tabu lated above, however, and com paring the figures of the two periods they represent, we find that under the Protective Tariff we sold the rest of the world $238,919,791 more of merchandise than vf as "sold us, while under tbe present Tariff there was sold toils $29,145,496 more than we sold abroad. That is to say, we lost our $278,145,496 on the wrong side of the account. Closed factories are not the suit of the war; they are thee suit of a Free-Trade Tariff.

Under the above heading, Mr. Archibald Johnson, the able and thoughtful editor of Charity & Children, gives expression to our estimate of Rev. Billy Sunday, so completely and in such good language, that we quote him fully. We have never heard Mr. Sun day preach or seen him, but from what we have read of him in the papers, we agree entirely with the views expressed by Johnson: "Opinion is sharply divided on the work of the Rev. Billy Sunday, who though unacquain ted with letters has been made a D. D. by a college faculty with more enthusiasm than judgment The Sunday partisans are un reasonable and tiresome. Their zeal blinds them to sober reason and they make claims for their hero that are not only ridiculous but almost wicked. The parti sans on the other side are still more tiresome. They are often inspired by the devil who cring es under Billy's sturdy blows, and whose business is generally curtailed in those communities where Billy holds his revivals. The truth is, Billy Sunday is an honest, fearless, coarse, crude, baseball player converted by the grace of God and consecrated to the advancement of the Kingdom His methods do not appeal to ns at all. We had hoped that his style of preaching had passed fovever. We have suffered im measurably by the lowering of the tone of the gospel ministry through the inflence of 8. Jones who was the first and greatest minister al buffoon the country has produced until Billy appear ed. on the scene. The Baptist and Methodist ministry were the greatest sufferers from the Sam Jones' style. iTbe dignified ; and reverent attitude of the old time minister was replaced by the "funny',' preacher who felt he HELPLESS A3 BABY Down b Hn 4 Uzuile to Work, ulWlut Helped Her.- Summit , Point, W. Va. Mrs. Anna Belle Emev. of this dace, savs: "I suf fered for Id years with an awful pain ia my right side, caused from womanly trouble, and doctored lots for ft, but with out success. 1 suffered so very much, that I became down in mind, and as help- less as a baby. 1 was in the worst kind of shape, was unable to do any work.

' Cardid certainly saved me from losins my mind, and 1 fee! it my duty to speak in its favor. I wish 1 had some cower over poor, suffering women, and could make hem know the good ft would do them." , If you suffer from anr of the ailments peculiar to women, it will certainly be worth your while to give Carduj a trial.

It is as refreshing as it is rare to listen to a Methodist or a Baptisit preacher who preaches as though he stood on holy ground. The Presbyterian preachers have generally upheld the dignity of their pulpits; but we fear for them now. Billy Sunday is a Presbyterian, and the danger is that he will have hundreds of imitators who will copy his cru dities without bis wit, and that willbe a pitiful thing. We wish all our preachers knew the feeling of the people in the pew uponltbe matter we are now discussing. We have been trained to regard the service of the house of God as solemn and vitally important. Flavored as it is now often with doubtful jokes and stale humor and all manner of slang phrases we have lost much of our reverence and respect for the sacred hour in which the message is delivered. Billy Sunday is reaching thousands of people nobody else has ever touched, and for' this we thank God; but he is employing meth ods that are not only of doubtful propriety but will result in un told harm for years to come.
