The case against Richard Wollfolk,white,who was under bond to appear Wednesday before Justice W.C.Moore and answer a charge of enticing labor- ers away from the Hard:way Con- tracting Co.,at work on the Catawba‘.river,was compromised.Wollfolk paysafineof$200,pays all the costs of hisowncase,including lawyers’fees,andagreedtoleavetheStateWednesdayevening.He also paid the cost in the case against Sam.Gregory,cclored, charged with a similar offence. The men were soliciting laborers work in West Virginia. A boy,12 or 13 years old,giving hi onme as Moffatt Davis and his home as Meridian,Miss.,was taken in hand for a few hours Tuesdey by local offi- cers.Davis represent-c that he was beating his way.from Meridian toAsheville,where he clxims to have rel-atives.He said they dislodsed him at Elmwood Monday night from therodsofNo.35 and he hed had to walk that much of his journey.He was turned loose Wednesday morning and when last seen he was waving his hands from the rods of No.11,west- bound,back to friends at the station.W.P.Bost and C.A.Foster split the costs before Justice Lazenby for an affray. to The Landmark has received a let- ter signed by two colored men,inwhichcomplaintismadethattwo white boys had offered indignities to children of one of the men,at a point near town.“i don't expect The Landmark will recognize this by it being negroes,but I think something of my children,”writesthecomplainingfather. The Landmark knows nothing of the writers of the letter,‘whether their statements can be relied on or not,but if the story is true it is an officer they want to see.not a news- paper.If the offence they allege is true and the colors had been revers- ed,a lynching would have threaten- ed.When whites wantonly mistreat negroes their conduct is more repre- hensible and less excusable than when negroes are offenders,beca ise the superior race is expected to show that superiority in its conduct to- ward inferiors.

Censorship Bill Modified. The espionage bill was passed the House Friday with a m censorship provision,after adminis- |tration leaders had lost an insistent fight for retention of the original section aimed at the publication of news of value to the enemy.The final vote was 260 to 105. Consideration of a similar measure was under way in the Senste there too the administration suffered a defeat.An export embargo amend- ment,about which the Senate had centered,was modified so as to substitute for the general authority proposed a provision to em-power the President to restrict ex-; ports in spegific eases when American goods werg reaching the enemy. In the use the entire adminis- tration censorship section was rejected 220 to 167,despite pleas of pre- sentative Webb,chairman of the ju- diciary committee,that President Wil- son had sent him word that the au- thority sought was “absolutely neces- sary.”Later a new section drawn by |Representative Gare of Ohio,was adopted,190 to 185.it would permit the President to prohibit publication of news regarding the national de- fense,but provides specifically for a jury trial for offenders and makes ‘conviction dependent upon proof that |matter published was of a character useful to an enemy,Speaker Clark, Mann,Representative Kahn of Cali- fornia and Representative Sherley of Kentucky,were among ose who voted to strike out the section.Dem- ocratic Leader Kitchin voted to re-' |tain it._ fight in the ¥Republican Leader| Is showing 2biglo!White | andColoredSkirtings and }Waistings,justthe thingsjj for this wear.

To this camp will be assigned the1,800 officers and men from the Ger- man interned ships,who have beentemporarilyheldatEllisIsland,Boston,Philadelphia and New Or-leans.In addition there are approx- imately 1,200 individuals who areheingheldattheimmigration_sta- tions who must be cared for.These are alien enemies,alien neutrals andalienallieswhohavecometothiscountrythroughtheregularchan- nels of immigration,but are inad- misible under our laws. In establishing these interned per-sors in eamps a_policy of segrega-tion will be pursued.Alien enemies will be separated into one class; alien neutrals and alien allies into asecondclass,and aliens who have heen found on examination to be feeble-minded,into a third class.It will fall to the immigration burean to provide for the internment of all alien enemies whom it fs not deemed necessary to intern as military pris- oners.As a result alien enemies res- ident in this country,whom the De- partment of Justice deems it advis- thle to restrain,bur against whom immediate prosecutions are not brought,will go into the camps es- tablished by this department.To enre for these several classes of in- dividuals will probably make addi- ional camps necessary.

The war income tax section would double the present normal tax of 2 per cent on individual and 8 per cent on corporations.It would lower the exemption of individual incomes from $4,000 to $2,000 in the cases of married persons and from $3,000 to $1,000 for the unmarried.In ad- dition,beginning with incomes of $5,000,graduated super-taxes would be imposed in addition to the normal 4 per cent,bring up to 33 per cent on all incomes over half a million dollars a year.In addition to the inheritance tax now in force the bill imposes a tax equal to the following percentages of its value upon the transfer of each net estate.One-half of 1 per cenr of the amount not in excess of %50,000; 1 per cent between $50,000 and $150,- 000,and on up to 15 per cent for $15,000,000 and over.The exemn- tion is lowered from $50,000 to $25,- 000 and 2 new tax of 1 per cent levied on estates between $25,000 and 350,-000.The bill proposes to bring in $200,000.000 by doubling the present 8 per cent tax on excess pronts.Liquor Tax. On distilled spirits the present . of $1.10 per gallon is doubled to the rectifiers’tax,15 cents a gallon is added and fermented liquors are as- sessed $2.75 per barrel instead of $1.50.Tobacco tax is doubled except as to cigars,which sre graduated from 50 cents to $10 a thousand,ac- cording to retail value.Cigarettes made in or imported into the United States would be taxed an additional $1.25 per thousand if weighing less than three pounds per thousand,and$3.60 per thousand if more than three pounds.

The League is anxious to continue the Rest Reom and will do so if itishelpfultothemerchantsandthecountrypeople.The fact that,dur- ing the month of Fe ruary,800 vis- iters came to the place,shows that the Rest Room is used.The Civie Leacue has made every effort to‘se- cure a better building,but it is im- pessible to find a room near the cen- ter of town,and on eccount of the strict laws concerning property with- »the fire limits,the owner is_notallowedtoimprovethepresentRest Room.The League would like to know the opinion of the public,es- pecially the country people,in re- vard to this matcr.The cost of the Rest Reom amounts to about $25 a month and is a drain upon the re-sources of the League,but the we- nen are willing to continue the work if it is a real help to the town.The nresident,Mrs.B.F.Long,would be glad to know the sentiment of the country friends in regard to the Rest Room.

Secretary of War Baker says he has little hope of an early peace;the government is making prepara- tion for a three-year war at least, and in this the government is wise. It is better to prepare for three years than for six months.A mili- tary authority estimates that we can send 500,000 trained men to France by this time next year—it will take a vear to get that many ready to ;that we can send a_second ,000 by August,1918,and 2,000,- 000 by Mey,1919. The Landmark is willing to bear fts share of the public burdens;it has no disposition to start an insur- rection because the war revenue bill hits newspapers very hard;but it craves permission to say that with maper more than doubled in price— te say nothing of other increases,in- eluding the ever present h,¢.1—and war revenue bill doubling and trebling postage rates and propos- to take five cents of every $1 re- ived for advertising —well,afterat,if the man who comes in,picks %°copy of the paper and starts without saying so much as “by ~~leave,”expresses surprise asked to hand over a few pennies for the sheet and says he thought paners were printed for free distri- bution—if that man is killed we shall expect a verdict of justifiable homicide if not public commenda- tion.

When children’s voices cry to me, “Oh,do tell us a true story,”|ofter tell,with reverent tone and softened peech,the story of Elisha Mitch- eit.poble life and glorious death Eliza North Mitchell Grant. It is ever with deep emotion thet 1 speck of this,one of the finest }rz rs J have ever known.She »lofty in her nobility,so far emoved from all things low n tn,thae she could scarcely have patience with the ordinary lm its of poor human nature.If head a fault (and I never thought she had)it may have been that Stately of deportment,her face was somewhot stern in repose,perhaps from the long years of repressed grief for murdered husband and chil- dren gone to the Master's Garden; but hew sweet,how motherly,how lovely that face,when she smiled and said,“My child.”How tie touch of that hand upon a mischievous girl's head.How loving the tones tl warned or blessed tie motherless.Those who entrusted heir children to her guidance coul:l not fully appreciate what that guid- unee was to mean through long. hard years to thoze gir!s. A great student of character,as much as inte effort and diligence,as well as talent,in “her children.”A girl who happened to be rigidly honest,went to her once to say that she really could not feel that she deserved a: high a credit as had been given in 1 certain study.Mrs.Grant's face lit up with that dazzling smile.and she answered:“My dear,I have watched you at work and 'marked you for what you tried to do.”What wonder that girl would have died for her teacher?When I think 0) Mrs.Grant's love for her pupils,and of the women of my home.|have some faint glimpse of the Father's love for us.As to the monument erected onMt.Mitchell to her father’s memo- ry,she came to our home one eve-.ng shortly after her return fromthetripwhenshehaditputinplace, and told us a good deal about it.The monument cost $1,500,at a time when money would bring much more than now,and was erected bythesistersoutoftheproceedsofa teacher's hard toil.

A dispatch fromtellsthestoryasfollows:The American navy’s actual entryintothewarzonehasalreadybeenproductiveofabrushbetweenade-stroyer and a German underwaterboat,aceording to an announcement by the British admiralty,but the re-sult of it has not been made public.The destroyer squadron arrived inQueenstownafteranuneventfulvoy-age across the Atlantic,but almostimmediatelyafteraformalexchangeofgreetingswiththeBritishnavalofficials,put to cea again for the hard {4 work that is before it.A crowd of several hundred persons,several of them carrying tiny Ameri-can flags,lined the «ater front andcheeredthedestroyersfromthemo-ment they first sighted the flotillauntilitreachedthedock.The crowdeheeredagainwhenafowmomentslatertheAmericanseniorofficercame ashore to greet the British senior offi- eer and Wesley Frost,the Americanconsul,who had come dowa to thedocktowelcometheflotilla.Every-thing was done in simple,business- like manner.There was an entire ab- sence of formality.The commander of the British flo- tila was waiting on board his ship and sent wireless reeiings to the American units as soon as they hove in sight,steaming in a long line into the harbor.“Can Start at Once.” After the exchenge of shore grect-ins and the British commander had congratulated the Amcrican bfficers on their safe voyage,he asked:“When will you be ready for busi- ness?”“We can start at once,”the Ameri- can commander replied promptly. This response,so cheracteristicallyAmerican,surprised the British com- mander,who said he had not expected the Americans woul be ready to be- grin work on this side so soon after their long voyage.When he had re- covered from his surpise he made a short tour of the destroyers and ad- mitted that the American tars looked prepared.“Yes,”replied the American cor- mander,“we made preparations on the Way over.That is why we areready.”The equipment on board the de- stroyers was found io be in excellent condition and remarkably well suited to the requirements o-this side of the ocean.After the jormalitics had ended and the needs of the men at- tended to,the American ships at once put out to sea,the men from captains to ordinary seamen looking in the pink of condition and apperrently enthusi astie for their task. One of the Americ:.n destroyers be- gan war duty even before reaching i this side of the Atlantic.This was when it picked up and escorted through the danger zone one of the largest Atlantic liners.This action so pleased the passengers on board that they sent a message of greeting and appreciation to the ander of the destroyer. Arriving in)Queenstown some the members of the crews of the etroyers were granted brief shore leave.They were fairly made cap- tives by the townspeupie,who insisted on taking them to their homes,where they supplied the things to eat and drink.They were the first American naval men seen it ;these parts for many years,and they| |were bombarded with questions cor cerning the happenings in Americ:jh people who have relatives there As they wandered through the stre« the Americans observed the StarsandStripesflyingfrommanybuild‘ings.They were told that these were hoisted to celebrate the entry of the |United States into the war and had i heen left there as an honor to the |American sailors whom they had been | conn expecting Daniels’Statement. announeement that Am troyers manned by picked have carried the flag into the ones of Europe and are now on- e ating against German thm:_ with British and French war oo) made by Secretary Dar es . news come from The number and names of ie ve were not disclosed.It wasclenr,however,that the fightin:|of the nation is to be exert its utmost to stamp out the U menace.The Secretary says:“| ed States Naval vessels have beer erating with the Allied Naval forces in European waters since May 4. nomber of destroyers sailed fron Americon ports in the latter part of April,and all arrived at theirdestina tion without accident or delay of anykind.They were ready for operations when they arrived and went into serv- ice immediately.The veasela are un der command of Rear admiral Sim: Ke can de crews ermal th ' ma nit- aDn- |Insurance Compuny Lost.

All Must Serve. The power against which we are arrayed has sought to impose its will upon the world by force.To this end it has increased armament until! it has changed the face of war.In: the sense in which we have been wont to think of armies there are no armies in this struggle.There are entire nations armed.Thus,the men who remain to till the soil and the factories are no less a part of the army that is to go to France than the men beneath the battle- flags.It must be so with us.It is not an army that we must shape and train for war;it is a nation.To this end our people must draw close in one compact front against a com- mon foe.But this cannot be if each man pursue a private purpose.Al! must pursue one purpose.The na- tion needs all men;but it needseachman,not in the field that will most please him,but in the endeavor that will best serve the common good.Thus,though apleasestooperatea triple-hammer for the forging of reat guns,an‘ an expert machinist desires to march with the flag,the nation being served only when the sharp-shoctermarchesandthemachinistremain- at his levers.The whole nation must be a team in which each man shall play the part for which he i» best fitted.To this end,has provided that the nation be organized for war by selection sharp-shooter is shall end that each man shall be classified )'"".:for service in the place to which it shall best serve the general good to , call him.The significance of this cannot he overstated.It is a new thing in ourhistoryandalandmarkinourprog- ress.It is a new manner of ac ing and vitalizing our duty to gis ourselves with thoughtfal devotion to the common purpose of us all.It is in no sense a conscription of the unwilling;it is rather selection from a nation which has volunteered —in mass.It is no more a choosing ofthosewhoshallmarchwiththecol-ors than it is a selection of thosewhoshallserveanequallynecessaryanddevotedpurposeintheindus- tries that lie behind the battle line.The day here named is the timeuponwhichallshallpresentthem- selves for assignment to their tasks. It is for that reason destined to be remembered as one of the most con-spicuous moments in our history.Itisnothinglessthanthedayuponwhichthemankindofthecountry shall step forward in one solid rankindefenceoftheidealstowhichthis nation is consecrated.It is impor- tant to those ideals no less than totheprideofthisgenerationinman-ifesting its devotion to them,thattherebenogapsintheranks.It is essential that the day be ap- proached in thoughtful appreciationofitssignificanceandthatweac-cord to it the honor and (ne meaningthatitdeserves.Our industrial needtribesthatitbenotmadea nical holiday.but the stern sac- rifice that is before us urges that it|be carried in all our heerts as a great day of patriotic devotion andobligationwhenthedutyshalllie upon every man,whether he is him-to be registered or not,to see tothatthenameofeverymaleper-son of the designated ages is writ-ten on these lists of honor.In witness whereof I have hereun-my hand and caused the sealUnitedStatestobeaffixed.the city of Washington.of May,in the year of7,and of the i .|the United States of 141st. eaidert LANSING,| of State makes k ty casualties :ns.a The army of the|Prince continues ineff‘forts to crack the French lington to attend theradedschoolandtoissVennieTempleton,who is oneoftheteachersthere.After the visit to Burlington she will go to Greens-bero to attend the graduating exercis-|es of the State Normrl,where hercousin,Miss Irene Templeton.i graduate.The latter has been en- gaged to teach mathematics nexttermattheNormal.Mrs,J.H.McLelland,who was attheWhitehead-Stokes Sanatorium, Salisbury,for treatment,has returnedhomeimproved.Mrs.Martha Parker has gone to a Charlotte sanitoriumfortreatment.Mrs.J.P.Berry is atthesameplacefortreatment.

When it was announced recently that 180,000 volunteers were ready to go with Roosevelt to France and that North Carolina would furnish a regiment,a battalion and two companies of infantry,The Land- mark frankly expressed its disbelief of the whole story.The New York World and other papers investigated and found that the colonel’s army largely existed on paper;that he didn’t actually have 5,000 enrolled. In New York State 6,656 were claimed and 106 were found actually enrolled;4.808 were ciaimed in the Southern States and probably 600 were enrolled.That's the way the colonel was enrolling an army. Col.Roosevelt is a patriotic and courageous man.He wants to go to the front and fight the country’s eremies.But his egotism is so ereat that he isn't content to accept service in the usual way.He wanted to play to the galleries by organiz- ing the Roosevelt Legion and keep- ing himself in the public eye.If he had played the game successfully he would have profited personally;if his command had met disaster,the administration would have been blamed.In the face of the warning of the army officials,President Wil- son did the right thing,but of course he will have the Roosevelt admirers yelping at his heels. “Wonder if Congressman Gard- ner of Massachusetts is any kin to Mayor Gardner of Shelby”?asks the Charlotte Observer,referring to the fact that the Massachusetts Gardner is so far the only member of Congress who has resigned to enter the army.The Massachusetts Gardner deserves the highest com- mendation for making his deeds fit his words;and his action shines by contrast with other members of Congress who,prior to the declara- tion cf war,almost daily nagged and harassed the President for not putting the country into the war. Bet with all that,and knowing too that it is no time to mention_poli- ties,The Landmark is moved to say that the Shelby Gardner has cause for action in the suggestion that he is akin to a man who is so mean,so narrow and so bitter in his politics as the Massachusetts Gardner. SAANSEERA TTC Troubles never come in single spies but in battalions,or words to that effect.The war and ail that pertains to it isn’t enough.Mr.Tom Bost has discovered and puts out the word through the Greensboro News,that ex-Senator Marion But- ler is endeavoring to start a cam- paign to elect ex-Congressman John M.Morehead to the United States Senate to succeed Senator Simmons; and if the Sampson fox puts that over he is willing to take Senator Overman’s job himself. TERRORCITECUOENIREAS “Josephus Daniels,Secretary of the Navy of the United States,born in Washington,D.C.,55 years ago,” ig an item appearing in “Today's Birthdays”in the so-called histori- eal column of some of the daily pa- pers.Which is evidence of the inac- curacy of this history.It is probably news to Mr.Daniels that he was horn in the nation’s capital.If call- ed to the witness stand he would doubtless say that he was bern in ington,Beaufort county,N.C., and not in Washington,D.C.

Capt.Franz Rintelen of the Ger-man navy,David Lamar and HenryB.Martin were found guilty in theFederalcourtinNewYork=on charges of having conspired in 1915 to disrupt the munitions traffic be-tween this country and the Entente Allies.The jury disagreed as to four other defendants.While no statement was made by the prose- cution,it is understood that FrankBuchanan,H.Robert Fowler,Her- man Schulteis and Jacob C.Taylor, upon whose guilt the jurors were unable to agree,will not be brought to trial again.

The President Right. President Wilson wrote Mrs. Caminetti the reasons why could not pardon her son,F.Drew Caminetti,convicted at San Francis- co of violating the Mann white slave law.The President's letter to Mrs. Caminetti was as follows: “It tears my heart to have to say in n i t af i °F nt Sam's 7.7 per seem to us,it id i é p e e s g lowed the dictates of my heart or al- lowed myself to be -n=aenced by my genuine friendship for yourself and r husband,I would of course do i But in matters of this sort it seems to me my imperative duty to leave personal feelings and connec- tions out of the question entirely and Jook at the matter from the public og view with regard to the in- «©it would have upon other causes. “When I look at the case of your son from this point of view,it seems to me clearly my duty to withhold a pardon.. “My heart goes out to you in gen- vine sympathy,my dear Mrs.Cami- netti,and I cannot tell you what it costs me to write you this,but I am sure that you will understand that | am moved entirely by a sense of im- perative duty.” That is a proper conception of du- ty.Some of our modern executives would have wept and =granted the pardon for the poor mother's sake; Caminetti’s are prominent people. But the President has a higher and nobler conception of his duty. ian Save Seed For Home Folks. As the result of an inquiry made in the various counties es to the supply of field and garden seed available for this season's planting, Director B.W.Kilgore of the Agri- cgltural Extension Service,asks merchants,farmers,bankers and business men generally having a supply of cowpea,soybean and sor- ghum seed,to reserve them for cus- tomers and neighbors within the State. In a circular letter recently sent out he says:“The supplies of cow- peas,soybeans and sorghum are auite limited,and it is advisable in the extreme,in my judgment,thatallmerchantshavingtheseseedre-serve them for their customers or neighbors in the State.There will be no difficulty in disposing of them in this way and the necessity for in-creased food and food productionmakesitessentialthatourownfarmershavetheseseed.Then therewillnotbemorethanenoughtosup- ply our own needs.“The co-operation of merchants,farmers,bankers and business mengenerallyisnecesaryinthisconnec- lrence river and the i starting ti i l es " ee n e eii r fiEi z i:i s i ? iE i if i s g z zRZ e g t t t i u i Le f ¢i ie &33 “Seenable toneverithanyknownspecies.In my study of birdslearnedelevendifferentkinds,all of which spend atapartoftheyearinthiscoun-.However,these birds did notifillthedseriptionofany.one of\them.They resembled very muchthewhite-throated sparrow,song sparrow and the fox sparrow—in size and color;but it could‘heen neither of these,for none ofjthesebirdslaywhiteeggs,nor do ithey breed in this State.The songjsparrownestsfromVirginianorth-ward;the white-throated sparrowlintheregionnorthoftheSt.Law-Great Lakes;|while the fox sparrow raises itsyoungfromHudsonBayontowardthenorthernlimitoftrees.havenotseenabirdlikethesesincethattime,and I wonder where it couldjhavecomefrom.Some years after this a Bewiek wren built its nest in ovr granary.It was taller than the house wrenandmoreslenderthantheCarolina wren.It was dark brown—nearly black—in color,all day and kept up asongandchatterall the time ii worked.Its mate never seems tohavearrived,for it worked all alone; and one dreary afternoon it aban- doned its unfinished nest and disap-peared.I have seen Bewick wrensoutontheplains,but they are unu- ve wiT H f y =k sual on the eastern slope of the Con-| tinent.This was the only one I have ever seen in this country. Not lone ago I found the nest of a black and white warbler.I was coming down ‘a path on the easternendoftheRockyfacewhenabout 200 yards from the top of the moun- tain,I saw a peculiar-looking blackandwhite-streaked bird flit out fromunderalittleoverhangingcliff.On investigation I found deeply embed-| ded in’the moss,a nest with five white ergs richly speckled with red- dish brown.These birds breed in the northern half of the United States and are only found here at hich elevations. The slate-colored junco -the common snowbird that winters herebythethousand—affords an inter- esting subject of study.It has lonebeenknownthatsnowbirdsbuildtheirnestsintheBlueRidgeand the Smoky Mountains.Frank Lin-ney showed me a_snowbird neat some years ago on the top of Rich Mountain,north of Boone,N.C.;a fow davs later I found another on the very top of Elk Knob,on the Tennessee line -—-several thousand feet above the sea level.The nest on Rich Mountain was in an excavation in the cround;the one on Elk Knob was in a moss bed.IT was taught to think that the snowbirds winter here and then go into the mountains to raise their young.This,however, is not true.The snowbirds that nest in the Blue Ridge and the Smoky Mountains constitute a sub-species of the snowbird family,and are res- ident in the southern Appalachian Mountains;while those that winter here migrate to the far north to raise their young. Another thing I want to call at- tention to is the fact that there are no orioles in this part of the coun-try.Two species of crioles are notvneommonintheeasternhalfofthe United States—the Baltimore the orchard oriole.The Baltimore oriole,which with its black and or- ;ange plumage is one of the hand- somest of American birds,is found| at nesting time in the Southern and|Middle Atlantic States,and even toNewEnglandandCanada.ThelorchardorioleissomewhatsmallerthantheBaltimoreorioleandhas ;chestnut plumage,where the Balti-more has orange.I have seen hun- dreds of them along the Mississippiiriver,in the vicinity of Rock Island,tion.Those having these seed should ilbeinformedoftheabsolutenecessi-ty of reserving them for home useandoffurnishingthemtogrowersatfairprices.ill you not help”? ~God's War.

We are now,and have been for the past several weeks,engaged in the installiation of new equipment.This is being done with as little impairment of service as pos- sible.Unless you should want to use your telephone just at the time when the connection from the old to the new equipment is being made you will never know anything is wrong in the service but,of course,there are those who will need to use their telephone just at the time when the change inconnection is being made.To those it will be apparent that the service is not satisfactory.This will meah that your line is being cut into the new.You will be inconvienced for a few minutes only.While your telephone is out of commission,the fellow next door may be able to use his all right.They are both not cut in at the same time.Anyhow,at the worst,no patron will be inconvienced for more than a few minutes. With the above explanation,we ask our patrons to be patient with us while chang- ing from the old to the new.With the new,our services will be so decidedly better that you will not regret the little inconvenience of afew minutes that we may have caused you.a en Se e ee e SL EE ET OT —:-es THE LANDM ARK WEDNESDAY,--May 23,1917.0)"Maur anew QUESTIONSANDANSWERS (0°cum sent ELE ECST EIT SOEESTET EBL LNLT LES TTST STII EES STII TTT LITA Sos 2 :e 'ppay ;i :or he |an)1 to 2 ‘‘ed iit:!!‘ty wo HM Ni eee EER eee ee i ‘4 /partis me.. ment,name the office you hold.Hf .,Mees eee ee ems A vat a <2 ;ree ::ve ‘«3 ¢eo atK .'y ')proper:‘a: you are in one of the following «;h r i at vernmen 'y e ana vr 's :16 ;a t @ fices or employments,use one of the names herenfter menciioned:ut j t “Custom house clerk,employed in ing you,u one of :,Cie ent veya "io ta a $4 Pow oA r eitis 3 the transportation of the mai ri ‘!\wim to ;j wed to $i t 1 ah is 3 time for every citizen to support employed in an armory.ar wm or tive.lew t siliwen®7 at ach neid-B the Unites States Government,and many navy yard,mariner,actu on 1 yr 'mn ’fry \{ave ct vey ae PY ‘1a}a8 2 vate .‘=a a te oui Z are doing so at cons iderable cost or sacri St merehant within }tel State or nat 'trom 3 Ot i >;fice to themselves, tates,f ):Bee i ~employed Vhe .'\way ';t We have joined the Federal Reserve Bank- vloyed ?{eye ‘-:’,-rs .co :AS ing Svstem established by the.Government gga erm,COUpOMRL I OF Et en togivepreater financial stability and strength a!ae :deg cy .ne ss s ,FE EF TI)fo the member banks and protection to their Yourself vo etatc.If you are an «4 ,Bs e .depositors, rece i ‘eer of the State or Federal gov :;: Ment,say whether 1 Otig :t War bacoerin We heave just der the United States,the em tai putmegnesnareann ranches gounty or x municipality.fy ans ren f Hach \1 car of Mict rimothy Hay,;Government _enterprise to the estion as to wher i :?;;i ;ie 4 ce at “hit ,St .eth,Ri KR °’ 0 qu tie 4 ’t {i !1 en f 1 eds in i MEME CR |and also obtain its pro- “HT you are work!r 3 ‘n t ‘<eaicuabamaaititadaiinarssapatoes aereepee a em te a i u m s h t t n i t n a m @ GL a hb t m m a c k 6 28 2 me we s You can «ive your support to this great * employed,give-the wn,count ee ::cea Te can ed peek Dee met oe :‘!ngs.car :eed,2 ‘CE DERD ¢ahh): eg where you wo ‘¢machi {Peel |i car nt)We)FEO een mVE tection for your money wife.child under 12.cr a site |tr “oe wallbe ‘ania you price ~by becoming one of our brother un ler te.lenendent :rs ani ;a . upen you for t \ ma int eth tthe ee rippine i rd Deni |‘War diy !&Produ srampuiy |COMMERCIAL NATIONAL BANK. ou alone “TATESVILLE,N.C. worms le@positors, you alone not let yeu vilitary with the wish of th war's misery to a minimum.¢th ;‘vu is my ple other har i °.‘,:2 W;t}?| have in mind >a ai te a Hd With”;|2 .ee .s t hid Huild Wi |EOS HORCATEONE ORIOEOO O 2 OFICAD CRNyou,ce ne): nest haw>Tt i me ‘mtitre ~ra) children :i ‘here th buy ch | ey leh fs which):‘wart (,dike Ms C.WATKI |Y QQ?°H<r ce :ed ane OSENRSctome sornent 4 —w 4 ;| OCCASION ALLY| 'remind wnt¢{} i aa c a la ti e il l i t e au l at l it n i it a il i i ti a .¢ Se eee.pectations and desires when you have wT imi OUP,. |Allealis telephoned to Jas.R )Hill’s residences or Long's Sanato- n}rium wili have prompt attentian. |DR.COM ESHERRILL |||; ,|Are not tied from carrying out your ex- f 'IN.THE BANK. ions =aniline |i Your Bank Account depends on what DR.JM.HOLLAND.i:you save.

Great Britain,France,Russia,Italy, Japan,Belgium-—virtualiy all the na- tions linked with Americs in the war have agreed to the essentials of the scheme and will sign an agreement making it effective as soon as the tre- mendous amount of detail involved can be adjusted.At present the pro- gramme hinges on the extent to which, the United States will participate in the pool arrangement. Plans are being formulated under which the needs of the American army and navy would be placed in the Looe of the commission.Here- tofore the navy has been supplied by its own buyers and the army simi- larly has been furnished everything it requires,from brass buttons to heavy artillery,through contracts placed by the War Department.The army and navy,experts estimate,will spend ap- proximately $3,500,000,000 during the first year of the war.The allies will spend approximately $6,000,000,- 000 a year—more,if American credit and American producers can make itpossibleforthemtospendmore.To do this,the War DepartmentandtheNavyDepartmentwouldhavetosurrenderintheory—but not infact—a part of their purchasing pre- rogatives.The theory advanced by offwiais favoring the chance is that greater efficiency and larger purchas- ing power of the moneys thus expend- ed would result in addition to elimina- tion of any element of competition.

The King and Queen of England, their children,the Prince of Wales and Princess Mary,Wednesday re- ceived at Buckingham palace,Lon- don,and extended a weleome to the surgeons and nurses of America’s in- itial detachment from the army. which shortly will teke its place be- side the British allies at the fighting front in France.It was a simple but impressive ceremony,one which will stand as a landmark in American his-| tory as the first of its kind to occur. Formality there was—such as is de- manded by royalty—-but the presenta- tion was shorn of much of its rigid- ness by the attitude of the royal fam- ily.There existed no doubt among spectators that the hearts of the king and queen were in their greetings. Especially was this felt as the king stood before the medical corps and in a voice ringing with sincerity ex- pressed the pleasure which it afford- ed him and the queen to welcome the Americans.He voiced deep appreci- ation of America’s prompt responses o the needs of the allies.

Criminal prosecution cwaits persons who attempt to prevent registration under the war army bill by propa- ganda or otherwise,Attorney Gen- eral Gregory says his attention had been called to the circulation of propa- ganda designed to discourage regis- tration,and that the governemt will deal vigorously with such cases. “Such action is a plain violation of the law,”said Mr.Gregory,“and the Department of Justice is prepared to prosecute promptly any person guilty of such conduct.The officers and agents of the department throughout the country have been instructed to watch coretully for infractions of this law.“In addition to the penal provisions contained in the act which make eva- sion a criminal offense,section six of the Federal penal code makes it a criminal offense punishable with not more than six (6)years imprisonment w.|for any two or more persons to con- spire together to ‘hinder,prevert or delay the execution uf any law of the United States.’”In Texas persons ure already beingprosecutedforconspiringtooppose the registration.At Abiline,Texas, Saturday,seven persons were indict- ed by Federal grand jury on charges of “unlawful assembly.” The indictments were returned,Fed- eral officials said,in connection with the investigation by government agentintoactivityoftheso-called FarmersahdLaborers’Protective Association, an anti-conscription organization several of the members of whichwerearrestedinSnyder,Tex.,last week.
