Robert H. Mcneil of North Carolina.
at one time chairman of the Republic
can state committee, has just returned
from visit to his old home.
"A big surprise is awaiting the Dem
ocrats," he said, at the Shoreham. AL
though say 1t in advance. it win still
be surprise, because the Democrats
are not expecting it. In other words,
the year 1916 is going to be a Republi-
can year in politics, and North Caro-
lima is going to be in the Republican
swing for restoration of good times
and the diffusion of prosperity that
has been burdened by Democratic
blunders and incompetence. Our
friends and neighbors the Democrats
are honest and mean well, but they
are constitutionally unfit to do any
thing but obstruct instead of promot-
ing Observation-Disclosures Post.

was flooded TO depth of FIVE feet and
an lines of communication were
blocked.
Then houses and buildings along the
course Of the creek began to tumble
into the food and were swept away.
The cloudburst lasted fifteen min
nutes. Police and firemen started out
in boats to warn families living along
the banks Of Mill creek to leave their
homes Immediately But by that time
houses were topping into the food
and being swept down stream.
Then the dams south Of the city
burst and a further torrent OF water
was added TO the food In some sec

tirement of the military forces active
ly under way, according 10 various
dispatches received here, a close
analysis of the situation is basis for
the belief that hundreds of thousands
Of the army Of Grand Duke Nicholas
may be trapped in the great triangle
between Ivangorod, Nevo GeOrgievsk
and Brest-Litovsk.
The latter fortress. the greatest Of
the great defenses of Poland. is the
goal of the fleeing Russians, lis miles
cart of Warsaw, and with the capture
OF the Lublin-Cholm railway by the
Teutons there is but one line between
Warsaw and Brest-Litovsk for the
transportation of hundreds of thou
sands of men, incalculable amounts of
munitions and vast quantities of sup
plies from the abandoned fortress
and the city Of Warsaw, in which the
Slavs are evidently determined to
leave not so much as a brass tack
which might be of use to the inva-
ders when the city is occupied.
The German official statement says
95,023 Russians, Al guns and $50 ma
chine guns were captured in July be-

American Shipping Hard Hi.

In the last days of the session Presi-
dent Wilson gave his approval to the
La Toilette bill. which now appears
likely to heap upon our ship owners
a burden which they cannot carry,
while leaving foreign shipping COM
panies wholly free from such onerous
obligations.
Should the administration spend its
two closing years in attempting to re-
pair the damage done to American
shipping in it's first two years. it would
not begin to make amends for its
faithlessness to the merchant marine
pledge in the Baltimore platform.
