Jas. O. Wade

In the death Of Jas. o. Wade,
which occurred at his home near
/ Mill Gap last Friday morning,
Highland countv lost one of her
most worthy and deserving citizens.
He had been in i'll health for a
long time, diabetes developing and
terminating his lie. He spent the
winter of 1854 in Florida, re-
ceiving temporary benefit by the
change of climate, but the disease
showed a more serious and critical
turn during the past summer and
fall. he was confined to his room
and bed for several weeks before
his death.
Mr.. Wade was a Sun of the late
Howard Wade, was unmarried, and
made his home with his widowed
mother at the old homestead. In
addition to his mother he is sur
vived by two brothers and seven
sisters, most of them residing IN
the county. He was about 81
years old at the time of his death.
In early manhood he espoused
the cause the Good Master, and
the advancing years witnessed
growth and conservation that de-
veloped into christian usefulness
and nobility of character. The
standard of morals and right living
to which be attained and adhered
was such as will elevate the cltl-
zenry of any county, and the in
auence will live on. The estimate
placed upon him by his fellows was
that of a christian gentleman, a
designation than which there Is
none more enviable, or atfordlng
greater comfort to surviving loyed
ones.
Mr.. Wade was a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church, jealous
of it's best interests and liberal in
his support of its institutions.
He was also member of High
land Lodge, No. ITO, A. F. d AN,
and the impressive service of the
was used at the burial
on Saturday.
His pastor, Rev. C. B. Rutledge,
assisted by Rev. ]. C. Thrasher,
conducted funeral service at the
house at II o'clock, after which
the Masons took charge, the burial
being in the Wade cemetery on the
hill over-lo looking the home. The
funeral was attended by several
hundred people.

Staunton Fires Do
About S125,000 Damage

In a series of fires unprecedente d
here, and which caused a strong
suspicion that incendiaries were at
work, Staunton sustaineda damage

flames. The first fire completely
destroyed the apple dlstillery in
the eastern part of the city, on the

breaking out in the drygoods de.
partment of Woodward & Son gave
the fremen terrible all.night bat
tie for the mastery, the whole

origin, started in a pile of rubbish
and packing boxes in an alley-way

within an hour after its discovery,
though it broke out again at 4:3O

We are indebted to E K. Rex
rode of Crabbottom for a dozen
apples of rare size and favor. If
there are any better in the county,
the Recorder man is the fellow to
decide. Mr.. Rcxrode's assortment
appealed to, and stood the test of
all the senses So feeling, seeing,
smelling and tasting the greater
stress being placed on the latter.
Such was the size that it was with
difficulty that even the fruit
hungry editor got away with a
whole apple at one "sitting."

WANT DISAVOWAL OF
SINKING OF THE ARABIC
President Views the Situation Grow
ing Out of Submarine Ac
tivity as Grave.

Washington, Sept 13.-Conferences
today between President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing and between Secre-
tary Lansing and Count Won Bernst-
orff, the German ambassador, brought
the situation growing out of German
submarine activities to the following
status
Four Items in Situation.
1. The German ambassador has
been furnished with the evidence of
officers and survivors of the Arabic
ceeding peacefully when torpedoed
without warning, and has been advised
that the United States desires a dis
avowal of the attack and reparation
for the American lives lost.
2. The evidence will be sent by
Count Won Bernstorff to the German
foreign office, to which it has not been
will elapse before Berlin can be heard
from.
3. The United States has now all
information as it now stands, and is
ready to decide upon its course, but
action may be delayed until Count
Won Bernstorff has had time to ex-
change communications with his gov
eminent.
4. While the United States will not
consent to arbitration of a principle
or a question involving the safety of
American lives, it has accepted Ger
many's assurance sthat peaceful lin
ers will not be torpedoed without
warning.
Note Not Pleasing.
The president and Secretary Lans-
ing were in conference for nearly an
hour and later Count Won Bernstorff
spent half an hour with the secretary.
No announcements were made.

System is a time saver, the one posi-
tive essential to the accomplishment
of commensurate results. Routine is
the element that makes machines of
human beings and sinks them into the
rut. The two are some times con-
fused. The former. however, is the
product of the brain, the latter of the
hands and feet. Doing the same things
the same way, day in and day out is
not system. Action that is based on
intelligent thought in planning the de
tails and eliminating useless expendi-
ture Of energy is the real essence of
system.
