Success.

"One night at Lady Jeune's house
Joseph Chamberlain said to me that
he believed any man of even moderate
endowment could attain any given aim
which he set before him with unre
hitting effort and enduring to the
end To my question, why. then, do
so many men fall short of their ambi-
tions?' he answered: They come to the
place where they turn back. They
may have killed the dra gon at the first
bridge and at the second, perhaps even
at the third. But the dragons are al
ways more formidable the farther we
go. Many turn back disheartened, and
very few will meet the monsters to
the end. Almost none is willing to
have a try with the demon at the last
bridge. but if he does he has won for
ever princess Lazarovich in Cen
fury.

his love with ''Se siren as hez." the

S|aShed with
Knife|n Hands
Of Humphreys

Walter Underwood, a young
man of Puryear, was desperately
wounded near that place Sunday
afternoon when slashed about
the face and body with a knife in
the hands of Atkins Humphreys,
another young man.
Underwood and Humphreys
had been fast friends for a long
time and the difficulty came as a
surprise to their friends and
acquaintance.
The encounter took place in the
grove near the West end of Main
street. Puryear, to which a num-
Der of persons were attracted by
Underwood's cries for. help.
Those who first arrived at the
scene of the ARRAY found Under
wood badly injured and bleeding
in several places and Humphreys
upon him. The difficulty was
stopped when Humphreys was
pulled off his adversary. A ply
stefan was then called and about
three hours were required to fast
en- the wounds with adhesive
plaster.
Underwood's clothes were cut
to pieces and covered with his
own blood.
Details of the trouble between
the young men could not be learn
ed, but it is said that it originated
near Buchanan Sunday when a
discussion developedinto an argu-
ment and later a quarrel. One
of them followed the other to
Puryear and the difficulty took
place.

Hughes is the logical man for the

v|ADUCT FOR R|SON
STREET FAVORED BY
MEMBERS OF COUNCIL
Interesting Meeting Expected
Tuesday Night When Matter
To Be Settled
RAILWAYW0ULD CONSTRUCT
D0UBLE-TRACK THRU PARIS
Park Question Likely To Come
Before Council AT the
Regular Meeting

Some members of the city
council, it is stated, want the
N. c. & st. L. railway to con-
struct viaduct at Rison street
when they extend their local.
yards and double-tract through
Paris, and it is over this point
that fight is likely to develop
at the regular monthly meeting
of the body Tuesday night when
the double-tracting ordinance will
be considered.
The railway has agreed to con-
struct a viaduct at the intersec-
ton of Dunlap street and the
company's right of way, but
so far no agreement has been
reached in regard to the Rison
street crossing, it is understood.
The proposed ordnance, al
though drafted some weeks ago,
has never been presented to the
council officially. However, in
dividual members of the council
have discussed the proposition
among themselves and with re-
preventative of the railway in an
effort to reach an understanding.
Those who desire that the rail-
way construct viaduct at the
Rison street crossing insist that
the company now keeps a fagman
at this point and that with a
dou ble-track and many more
trains even this will not be suf-
ficient, and that the services of
the f1agman would not be neces-
sary with the viaduct.
Another matter of interest that
will probably be acted upon at the
meeting of the council Tuesday
night is the matter of the pur-
chase of property for a city park.
The park movement has been on
foot for several weeks and those
who are interested may present
to the council a proposition to
either buy or lease a site.

In addition to destroying Mr..
Olives barn and the negro
houses, the storm blew down a

ing 10 stop practices which she had
the result of such action? One of
three things. Great Britain may ac-
ceed to our demands for relaxation
of the blockade; in which case Ger
many viii be able to get the supplies
which she SO sorely needs. She may
refuse our demands, and we may re-
sent her refusal. and thus bad blood
| may be created between the two
countries, which also would be great
ly to Germany's advantage. Or she
may refuse and we may meekly accept
the snub, and be even further humil-
lated than we have already been by
Wilsonian diplomacy; which would be
matter of joy and qualification to
Germany
Naval observers in Washington,
writes Mr.. Frank H. Simonds to the
New York Tribune, believe that Ger
many is prepared to give Mr.. Will
son diplomatic success, which is
now a matter of political life or death
for his administration, but that she is
doing this with the obvious intent
to make the United States thereafter
enforce international law at British
expense. -. German diplomacy seems
at last on the point of winning very
substantial victory in conceding
minor and insignificant success to
the Wilson administration" Or, as
Mr.. j. X. Ohl writes to the New York
Herald. all of Germany's overtures
are for the purpose 'of inducing the
government of the United States to
play the role of its catspaw by pre-
cipitating some sort of crisis with
the allies" Such suggestions seem to
have made their way across the At
lantic. For the London Evening Stand
ard has heard it said that
"Now that America and Germany
are bosom friends again, England is
to be bullied once more for interfer-
ing with Americas war profits. If
the British government reflects the
British people, Washington will hear
some stimulating truths from this
side of the Atlantic"
