A Hickman girl who spent a
lot of time seeking for a perfect
man for a husband, has given up
the quest in despair. Probably
while she was looking for the per
feet man, the perfect man was
looking for the perfect girl, so
they missed each other.

NO CITY TAXES LEVIED HERE
IN GOOD OLD DAYS OF 1885

The recent decision handed down
by the Supreme court in the case OF
the Fifth avenue owners versus the
city of Hendersonville az announced
in last weeks issue of the Democrat
has relieved a number of anxious
minds among those concerned no lit
tie is Judge C. NJ. Pace.
Judge Pace says that when he anf
his children get through paying the
assessments it would have cost them
about $4,000, but the Judge was in
favor of the pavement and agreed
with those who felt that the city au-
thorities had made a mistake in charg-
ing the property owners two-thirds
OF the entire cost of paving, making
allowance for the paving between the
street car tracks and that on the cross
streets.
In talking of the strenuous duties
now imposed upon the city commits
sioners Judge Pace remined a Demo-
crat man that in the year 1858 he was
one of the city fathers of Henderson
vile along with DR.. w. d. Whitfield.
Col. Joe Livingston, Wesley NJ. Justus.
and Wesley Tinsley. These aldermen
have long since died, with the excep-
ton of Judge Pace, who makes the re-
markable statement that during that
wear not one cent of taxes were levied
or collected. He could not remember
who was mayor, but stated that the
mayor received small fees, so did the
town marshal.

THE SINFUL PRINTER.

Unobserved and ~unannounced the
president of a Church Society entered
the composing room just in time to
hear the words issue from the mouth
of the boss printer:
"Billy, go to the devil and tell him
to finish that murder he began this
morning. Then kill VIM. J.. Bryan's
Youngest ~Grandchild,' and dump the
Sweet Angel of Mercy into the hell
box. Then make up that Naughty
Partisan Actress and lock up The
Lady in Her Boudoir.'
Mortified the good woman fed from
that place of sin, and now her chill
dren wonder why they r not allowed
to play with the printers youngster.

plain away the horribleness OF the
printers words:-Old Fort Sentinel

Health officer Does Not Want Deaths
Visitors Charged to City.
Asheville, Feb. 25.-Believ1ng ina
the nresent system of registering Wit
al statistics is unfair in that health
resorts are charged with deaths OF
citizens who visit them as a last re-
sort after all hopes for recovery have
been given up, DR.. Carl V. Reynolds
local health officer, has instituted a
countrywide campaign looking to the
making of changes in the system O.
compiling vital statistics. He recent
~ received the endorsement of the
Tri-State Medical Association of the
Carolinas and Virginia which adopt
ed resolutions asking that he send his
suggestions to the leading medica!
journals for insertion. The oFganiza-
ton pledged it's efforts to use it's IN
fuence to have the system changed.
Doctor Reynolds believes that the
death of every person, regardless OF
where he or she passes, should be
charged to the city of legal residence.
1t is manifestly unfair, he says, that
Asheville should be charged with the
deaths resulting from tuberculosis
among hundreds of people who enter
local sanitoriums and who succumb
at this city after making a futile hight
for years to combat the disease at
home. The same applies to health re-
sorts of other sections, he says and
to them will be made an appeal for
support in the new movement.

WOULD BUY MONTICELLO.

Washington, Feb. 25.-President
Wilson sent a letter today to Senator
Kern and Representative Underwood
~favoring passage of the pending reso-
luton for purchase of Monticello, the
home of Thomas Jefferson. 1t follows:
81 am told that there is a resolu-
ton now pending before both houses
of congress for the purchase of Mon
ticello, the home of Mr.. Jefferson and
that back of it lies a very strong SEN
timent in both houses. Certainly my
own interest in it is very deep and
very, very sincere.
81 most earnestly hope that there
will be some interval in the business
of congress which can be used for the
passage of this most interesting. piece
of legislation which I think will meet
the approval of the whole nation

AGRICULTURAL APPROPRIATION

Washington, Feb. 25.-The senate
today added the agricultural bill
carrying approximately $2S,OOO.Q0O to
the rapidly growing list Of supply
measures passed and tonight debate
on the naval bill began. Seven ofthe
appropriation bills have been dispes-
ed of, and seven are still awaiting &C.
ton.
After considerable argument the
senate declined to support the action
of the agricultural committee n strlk-
ing out an appropriation of $685. 600
for the free distribution of seeds. One
of the principal new provisions in the
hill is the 81, 500, 900 appropriation for
combating the foot and mouth disease
among cattle.

MAKE GAINS.

Fine Increases in Membership During
L&x 1914-Interesting Facts.
The religious bodies of the United
States have no cause to. be discourag-
ed over the results of the year 1914.
The new communicates o r members
added made good all the losses by
death, expulsion or withdrawal. AMI
left a surplus of nearly three-quarters
of a million. That is, the total men,
bership is 763,07S greater than it was
in 1913. This is an average increase
Of two per cent, for all bodies grept
and small. Christian and non-Chris-
tan. Elaborate statistical tables pre-
pared by Dr.. H. K. Carroll, and issued
by the federal council of the churches
Of Christ in America, show in detail
the gains and losses of the year.
The grand total of members is now
38,708. 149. All the larger denomina-
tons share in the increase. Baptists
gained 122,125; Eastern Orthodox
churches, 36,500; the Roman Catholic
church 136,850, the Lutherans 56,248;
the German Evangelical Synod, rep
recenting the state church of Prussia,
29,315; the Methodists, 231,46O, the
Presbyterians, 56,019. the Protestant
Episcopal church 1854.
The Methodist Episcopal church
crossed the million line, having gained
6.468 since 1910. and over SOC, 900
since 1900.
The Roman Catholic church has
gained nearly a million and a quartz"
since 1910 and more than five and a
half million since 1900.
The Methodist Epiecopa1 church,
the second largest denomination:
gained 187,437 in 1914 and nearly 700.-
900 since 1900.
The thirty churches, constituting the
federal council of the churches OF
Christ in America, report, as will be
seen, nearly 17,500,O00 members. some
what less than half of the aggregate
for all denominations, with lob 900
ministers and nearly 10000 churches
These bodies have a net increase Of
over SOC. 900 members, or more than
two thirds of the entire increase Of all
bodies.
There are nine denominations, which
have a million and upward, the Ro-
man Catholic, 1S,794,637, the Methodist

the Protestant Episcopal, 1,015,238
These seven denominations aggregate
over $4,000, 900 members. or more than
thu ee-fourths of the entire aggregate
of the 10 religious bodies.
The effects on church membership
Of the European war in narrowing the
stream of immigration were probably
quite small, as only the last five
emigration of men were involved. The
ebigration of men to take part in the
great conflict would not be a very
large factor for the same reason. The
German bodies-Lutheran, Reformed
and the representative of the Prus-
sian State Church, all show unusual
gains for 1914. On the other hand
Roman Catholic gains are quite small
The total increase of ministers was
1912, which is unusually large, while
the total increase of churches was 1"
AL, which is unusually small.

MIR. Bryan discussed the efforts
permanent peace that have been
made by the present National Admin
istration, saying that the plan the
government, has. if carried out. will
make war almost impossible for the
future. He said that japan. alone, of
the warning Nations, has thus far fail
ed to sign this peace pact that the
American government is sponsor for;
and Japan has thus far failed to sign
because of no hostility to the plan.
Discussing the duties devolving on
Legislators, Mr.. Bryan said that wher-
ever legislators find themselves out of
line with their constituents they ought
to resign. He said that of course he
must admit that constituents do make
mistakes witness his own experiences
in public life. but he would be the last
man to deny the right of the people to
make their choice as to what they
want, whether right or wrong. He
discussed at length the two theories
of goVernment-ariStocratic, that
holds that the few know better than
the many what is best, and the demo-
cratic that the many know more than
the few. He declared that he has no
patience with those politicians whose
conscience hibernate during cam
paigns and come out after elections.
FaVOrs Recall.
From this line of thought it was
only a step to initiative and referen-
: DUN and the recall, which he laid
down as among the fundamentals in
sound public policy. He declared that
he has favored this theory for Is years
and that when Nebraska Sent him to
Chicago in 1896 that State had en-
dorsed the measure.
Mr.. Bryan belittled the theory that
the people can better choose the man
than the measure. 81 don't know who
said it, but it is not true" said Mr..
Bryan. ut is easier to understand a
measure than a man." said he, "be-
cause a measure does not change af-
ter the election and a man sometimes
does"
He argued that the initiative and re-
ferendum will perfect popular govern
ment. He said he was first attracted
to President Wilson by his advocacy
of the initiative and refendum and he
said Il want to say if there is a frank
and honest man in public life, it is
Woodrow Wilson.
Woman Suffrage.
Woman's suffrage came in for adj
vocacy Il am going to say some
things" he said, you are so kind to
me. / have been trying so many
years to catch up and last year I
caught up-I came out for woman's
suffrage. %Now I do not know how
you all are down here. 1 did not have
time to call a convention of my
friends after ] reached your city this
morning to determine what I shall
say. Besides it is not my way.
eff any man says women are not
capable to vote 1 reply that suffrage
requires intelligence and morals. Has
woman these requirements? Some
time ago I inquired of the State peni-
Tertiary and found 259 criminals in
the prison. Only five were women
more than SO per CEN men. Now
when l went to church l found the
women in an equally great majority.
So it is in every good place; womcr
predominant. There is nothing in
conscience against women's suffrage
unless the ballot is a bad place. You
must decide that for yourselves"

PRIMARY BILL PASSES.

Raleigh, N, c., Feb. 25.-The Hob
good-Weaver primary bill was passed
at O'Clock this morning by the sen
ate by a vote of t~hirty-six to ten and
goes to the house where another long
and sharp debate and contest awaits
it. The senate. voted down an amend
ment by Senator Ward to refer the bill
to the people at the next election.
The senate spent from IL o'clock to
nearly 1 o'clock voting on a great num-
Der of amendments offered to the
statewide primary bill before the vote
on the main question was reached.
The committee amendments were all
adopted, but all those offered since the
argument, began were voted down ex-
cept two, one by Senator McRae, of
Mecklenburg and the other by Senator
White. The McRae amendment pro-
vides for the exemption of the fifty-odd
counties specified from operations as
to county officers including members
of the house of representatives. The
White amendment provides that any
one of the counties so exempted may
vote themselves under the primary
law through petition of one-f1ftn of
the voters in the county asking for the
election.
Amendment Lost.
An amendment by Johnson of Dup
lin, to also exempt a large number: of
senatorial districts was lost by a close
vote. The McRae amendment carried
by n majority, "a to rs.
When the amendments were all in
and the main question was ready to
be put, there was demand that the
bill go to the committee on appropria-
tons and President Daughtridge held
that this must be the course unless
the rules were suspended. The vote
was then on suspension of the rules
and carried. Thereafter the bill
passed, So to 10. And the senate adj
journed at 1 o'clock.
