viii Make Glowing Rock Turnpike Free
Road.

Lenoir News.
The county is securing options
on the Blowing Rock Turnpike
stock and in event the bond is
sue ..for building good roads in
the county carries, the county
will take up these options an d
make the turnpike a free road. So
far the owners of this stock ore
readily signing these options at
a Iprice about one third of the
par value. The turnpike compa-
ny has about $4,000, or less,
outstanding stock, and it is esti-
mated that the country will be
able to to get the roadfo about
$4,000 to $15, 200, thatis, pro.
viding the bond issue, which
makes a provision for the main
tenance of all roans, receives a
favorable vote.
With the turnpike acounty ow-
ned and a free road it opens the
way for securing Federal aid and
maintenance for our through
roads. The Government offers
dollar for dollar on main roads
connecting the county seats and
unless Caldwell buys out the turn
pike the chance of securing this
aid will be cut off altogether.
Caldwell county has already lost
several thousand dollars Federal
aid-last year when the $114,-
600 was apportioned to the
counties IN this State. At that
time Caldwell made no provision
for putting up her part and the
county's name was left oil the
list while other counties all a.
round us were given considera-
ton.

Germany's Ultimate Trump.

The world will begin to wonder
Immediately whether the fight
between British and German de-
stroyers in the North Sea W a S
merely an isolated skirmish, or
whether the German navy IS at
last beginning to STIR, preparato
ry to making one more attempt
to break the blockade. What has
been going on in the neighbor-
hood of Wilhelmshaven for the
past two years and a half has
been veiled in impenetrable secre-
cy;'but it is safe to say that some
thing has been going on. We
have heard vague rumors of this
and that-of huge submarines, of
One-mal submarines, of subma-
rines of an altogether new type,
of lS-inch guns, and a gigantic
battleship named the linden
burg which may be only one of a
class that Germany hopes will be
able to cope with the Lion and
the Tiger. But these are all ru-
mors. We know nothing, save
that Germany has been tremen.
dously busy.
Plenty of ship-yards in the T.
nited States are capable OF bull
ding q battle ship in two years
in time OF peace. Who can tell
I what the German yards h a v g
been able to produce under the
forced draft of warpressue? Ger
many has had plenty of time to
increase the size of her navy en-
ormously. She may be ready now
to try conclusions with the Mis-
tress of the seas.
But it must be remembered
that Germany has been prepar-
ing frantically, England has not
: been idle. The secrecy that has
; surrounded the preparations of
the British navy has been a pro-
found as that that that covers
the doings at Wilhelmshaven;
: but many and many a great
ship has slid from the ways since
the blockade was clamped down
: 20 months ago. Ii the veil could
. be lifted and the real strength OF
J the British navy revealed for a
, moment we have no doubt that
the world stare and gasp. Unless
a tgreat sea-fight, accompanied
: by tremendous mutual ,destruc.
tion, intervenes, peace will find
3 England and Germany eac h
r equipped with q navy that vii
that OF any third power seem a
play-thing by comparison.
: We do not look for such a bat
tie in the immediate future, but

mong t he possibilities. There

The following from the John
son City staff, was sent to The
Democrat by ex-senator John
Lineback. OF Elk Park, with re-
quest to publish, which we do
with pleasure:
With the North Carolina Leg
is1ature having passed q resolu-
tion urging the North Carolina
delegation In congress to get be-
hind and push the claims of the
Watauga Valley as the location
for the governments $11, ,OOO,-
600 Armor Plant, the local CON-
mittees have been given a new
impetus to carry on the work be-
ing done by them toward secur-
ing this big plantfor this section.
Among the progress made and
other good news concerning the
location of the plant, is a letter
which has been received by Mr..
Lee f. Miller from Senator Lee 5.
Overman, OF North Carolina, en-
dorsing in strong terms the Wa
tauga Valley site. Senator Over
man in his letter says:
"My dear Mr.. Miller: Your es-
teemed favor OF recent date in
regard to the selection of a site
for The location OF the Govern
ment Armor Plant in the Watau-
ga Valley, enclosing clipping from
the johnson City Staff, received.
81 think the government would
make a mistake il it did not To-
cate the plant on the site offered
by your association, and | sin
cerely hope they will eventually
I do So"
Attorney Miller has also re.
ccived a letter from Senator
elect Kenneth d. McKellar con-
cerning the location OF the plant,
which is as follows:
"My dear Mr.. Miller: Your let
ter OF the 18th instant with en-
closure received and noted.
ut is certainly a very flatter
ing report. l am still working fol
East Tennessee, and told the Sec
retary this morning that | was
just waiting for him to indicate
which one OF the cities in East
Tennessee he preferred and ther
! would get every influence pos
sible in behalf OF that city,"
The local committee here has
just received from the Armol
Plant board a pamphlet which,
among other things says:
"Labor; 25. The plant will EN-
ploy from l, 800 to 1000 work
men, and many of them must bt
skilled as meters, heaters. forge
men, machinests, etc. The nea
communities must be able to ab
sorb this number, together witt
the corresponding increase in
population. The future develop
ment OF the industries of TIN
plant may greatly increase THU
number"
Concerning this matter, MIR
Sells writes as follows:
"Again, on page 6, paragraph
25, you will notice the require
ments relative to the absorption
by the local communities OF tn
employees OF the company. Thi
is in line with a suggestion
made when you were in Washing
ton, that in all probability OH
facilities for taking care OF thi
number Of people would proba

to have some agreement among
the business men OF Elizabeth
ton and johnson City to provid
the necessary homes forthispoI
ulation in the event the plan
should be located with us. N
doubt the circular will sugges
a great many other matters t.
you, but l believe. the two out
lined above will probably const

In a magazine devoted to the
legal profession we read the other

ruptcy "Jewish prudence" instead
of Jurisprudence was not inappro-

ged his caudal appendage a trif1e
too vigorously in perpetrating his
sorry jest, for the Jewish merch-

Election.
Election.

The influence women have in
Jewish affairs and how important
part they play was clearly dem
onstrated at the polling places in
the recent election of delegates to
the American Jewish Congress
and the results of the same.
That the successful candidates
owed, for the most part, their cleo
ton to the votes Of the women
was clearly to be seen.
Prominent women throughout
the country were also candidates
and in most cases where the name
of a woman made appearance on
the ballot her name appeared on
the list of the successful.
Mrs. Benjamin Davis was the
only woman Of the list of the can
didates to be elected to representa-
tive and she was elected by a
large majority. Mrs. Emil Crock
in Of Baltimore has also been
chosen as a delegate to the con-
gress. In Cleveland Mrs. J. w.
Zwick was elected. Mrs. Joseph
Fels was elected from the third
district of New York, Miss Ruth
Schooner from the fourth district
and Miss Henrietta Sold from the
fifth district. Two women Mrs.
Elizabeth Bloom and Miss Sarah
Kussy-will be among the five who
will represent Newark, N. j., at
Washington in September.
