The following news telegram appeared a few days ago in the various dailies of the state.
 Malvern, Feb. 2l. Following examples set by the grand juries of Ft.

FROM NORTH CAROLINA
Ex-Brinkleyite Travelling in North Carolina Writes fO the
 Argus

Editor Argus:--
 Shelby is the old home of the Dixons. Tom, Frank and A. c. Of course, all of your readers know of Tom Dixon, waiter, play wright, lecturer. preacher. That is, he used to preach.
 Frank also was a minister at one time, but now he devotes all of his time to the Lyceum and Chautauqua platform, while A. c. is the faithful pastor of Spurgeons old church in London. 1 can't say that Shelby produced the Dixons. Rather, the Dixons are what they are because they can't help it. It is a case of heridity, pure and simple.
 Shelby is a typical old time Southern town. Rich in culture and wealth and satisfied with itself. it goes about it's daily tasks in the same way each day of the three hundred and sixty five that makes a year. When the old Richmond and Danville railroad was being built, the promoters wanted to include Shelby on the line. but Shelby objected and the road [now the main line of the Southern Ky. system. with a train passing every few minutes] missed Shelby by fourteen miles. Now Shelby is sorry. But many a good thing is passed up by fossiled brains! The present generation, however, is more alert, and they are ''going after" the inter-urban line which eventually will extend from Atlanta to Washington via Durham and Richmond.
 Shelby is well equipped in one thing in particular-it it has a fine system of country roads penetrating every section of the country, thereby making it easy for the farmer to get to market. These roads, combined with the rural telephones and daily de- livery of mails, makes country life joy = and land values stable. And they tell me that the building of these roads, making them permanent in character, is the best invest ment the county ever made.
 Yours Sincerely

on the sea and the ship had to put in to Marugame and now he was on his way to Kotohiro to have his good time there. when the tract stopped him. We hope that this young man is now on his way back home. That little tract, costing about one twentieth of a cent, may be the means of changing the eternal destinies of that soul. We consider tract distribution as a kind of incl dental work, BUT IT PAYS. Last year we handled thousands and thousands of cheap tracts.
 Last week I visited Zensuji and baptized three school teach CTS. Last night I was at Maru- game, and in spite of the awful cold we had a good congrega- tion of young people. The old chapel building is crowded. We must get a new church building or stop growing. Please pray definitely that the Lord will give us this much needed building.
 The Parliament and Cabinet are now at loggerheads. Par lament did not wish to increase the standing army and so failed to pass the budget. Hence it was dismissed and a new elec- tion called for in March. The relations between Japan and China are also a little strained. China has ordered Japan to evacuate the neutral zone in Shantung. but Japan declares that she is not ready to do so until the war is over. Japan cannot make peace with Ger many until her ally, England, is ready. Commerce and business are very slow on account of the war. The Japanese hoped to reap a great deal of profit be-  cause of the disturbance in Europe; instead they are loosing out everywhere. Japan wants peace.
 Sincerely yours.

The bomba rdment of the Dardanelles
by the French and British warships,
which was suspended temporarily by
storms, seems to be again in full
swing. From various sources come re-
ports OF the mbardment, and the
British admiralty has issued a brief
summary showing that 81 Turkish gums
have been demolished at the entrance
OF the strait. This report also de-
ecribes briefly the operations OF the
fleet ON Monday and Tuesday and says
that mine sweepers have compietde

lying off the Dardanelles or engaged In

completely outranged by the ships. A

Nor has Great Britain's reply to the
recent American note yet been pre-
pared, but 1t is predicted that this will
be based on the view that the sug-
gesttons contained In the American
note propose that Great Britain shall
virtually forego the strength OF her po-
sition due to her superior navy, which
Great Britain is not willing to do.
