1he former work will he something

Lancaster was made chairman of the
undertaking.

SWEEP OUT THE CELL

The Charlotte Observer is sweep
ing out cell No. 999 for one Mr..
Hugh Durigan. "who writes on the
stationery of the Pittsburg Press"
and who feels sure that our read
ers will be deeply interested in a
startling new and seemingly cone
vincing Interpretation of the 18th
chapter of Revelations, in which he
finds proof that William Won Hohen-
Zollern is the beast whose fOrthcom-
ing as a scourse of the earth. was
toretold in the Bible. He sidetracks
the beloved Interpretation of the
hgure 8, which has had exploitation
even in religious papers, and having
resort to a much more elaborate and
complicated system of figuring
proves beyond question, through the
application of three 6's instead of
one, the production OF the six hum
dred, three score and six of the BIZ
Bile. The Pittsburg seer indicates the
time allotted the beast Hohenzollern
to reign in the quotation: And there
was given unto him a mouth speak
ing great things and blasphemies:
and power was given unto him TO
speak forty and two MONTHS"
And then the Observer begins to
look for the next one. and SAYS:
They are interesting, to say the
least. and are doing no harm. except

OF the public. The work on the
roads Is as yet in the swaddling

short stretch on the RossviIle road
but enough has been done to indi-

when the roads are completed there
is no reason to believe they will not

have been happening fast ever since,

living in country much changed by
its entrance into the war. Every
phase Of life. every business has un-

the nation regardless of political
faith. church affiliation or color are
solidly behind the administration in
the prosecution of the war, though
there may be heard rumblings of dis
loyalty now and then, induced by the
activities of German agents, spies
and sympathizers. The people, gen
orally, are with the administration,
with money, service and life. The
success of the first two Liberty
loans. the success of every other
movement undertaken by the gov
ernment is the best proof of the
loyalty of the American citizen.
What has been done during this
first year OF Americas part in the
war is well-known to most every
reader OF newspapers. A vast army

ITHACA. Mich, May 3.--A sem
sation was created yesterday after
noon in the Epler murder case when
the state called Benjamin Klech TO
the stand. Kelch is one of the three
witnesses recently Endorsed on the
information. He is a photogra pher
who is living in Alma Kelch states
that on the night OF Sept Z, he was
in the lobby of the Alma hotel.
where he rooms. and a man who
stood behind him asked him 10 have
a drink. They went into the upper
hallway and. while they stood talk
ing. a large man, whom Kelch iden-
titles as Eichorn. came up where
they were and locked arms with
his companion and took him away.
kelch followed downstairs and saw
the two get into an automobile and
drive away.
Yesterday afternoon Kelch was
brought into the court room and
Immediately picked out his cOmpan-
ion of the night and EichOrn. The
first man whom he picked out was
Brennan. the Flint actor. This tes-
timony is very important as it brings
EichoTn and Brennan together in
Alma in an automobile on the night
Of the murder at an hour very near
to the, time when il was claimed
that they came TO the house of Mrs.
ellison. A grilling cross-examination

The testimony of Treva Sanderson

that Eichorn was a constant caller
at Mrs. Inez Johnson's home and
John Brennan had been there with
him several times, and that Beatrice
Epler had been seen there talking
to Mrs. Johnson on the night of the
murder. The latter was substan-
tiated by Sam Marzolf. a brother

son, Carl, who, in passing Mrs. John
