A London, England, newspaper
states that four previously unknown
pieces of music by Beethoven have
been discovered in the British Mu-
scum and are shortly to be published
This suggests that we may expect To
read in our newspapers hundred
years hence this sort Of thing:

files of a manuscript frcm the pen 0t

mournful tunes were coupled with
words Of great vagueness but they

ASKED TO PREPARE
FOR NEXT LOAN
Chairmen About Forthcoming
Work.

Phillips Lee Goldsborough, chair
man of the Liberty Loan Committee
for Maryland, has mailed letters to
all the county chairmen, asking them
to hold their places and to be pre-
pared to work in behalf of the next
loan. This is expected TO be offered
some time in April.
It is conceded that the general or
ganization of the committee is now
so intact that its personnel could
scarcely be improved; hence the de-
sire to retain the services Of those
who have done such excellent work
in the past. The executive commit
tee of the general committee has had
several meetings recently, paving the
way for an active campaign for the
next loan and getting the prelimi-
:naries in shape to go ahead actively
with the subscriptions for the bonds,
no matter what form they may take.

BARBECUE AT THE LocKMoRE-

Employees Of the Lockmore Cotton
Mills and their families were the
guests of the management Of the mill
at a barbecue held under the shade OF
the trees in the yard of Mr.. ]. c. Wal
lace near the mill last Saturday. The
barbecue was arranged by Mr.. r. w.
Armstrong, manager Of the Lockmore
mill assisted by Superintendent F. c.
Wood and was thorough success,
much enjoyed by the one hundred or
more people who were present for the
occasion. There was an abundance OF
good things to eat, served in barbecue
style, the cooking done by Mr.. b. w.
Greed of Rock Hill, known throughout
the up country as the best barbecue
chef Of them all. There was an abun-
dance of barbecued beef and mutton,
more than a suff1ciency Of BRUNSWICK
stew and plenty Of good lemonade
bread and cake. Not only the en-
ployes of the Lockmore but their
families and friends were invited to
partake Of the sumptuous repast.
The barbecye was held in accord
ance with the custom of the Arm
strong chain of cotton mills in the
two Carolinas to provide such an oc-
casion for their employees each year.
Sometimes this entertainment Is IN the
form of a barbecue as was the occas-
ion in Yorkville Saturday, at other
times ice cream suppers are substitu-
ted and at other times there are other
occasions at which the mill employees
are the guests Of the mill management
in appreciation of their interest and
cooperation. Col c. B. Armstrong,
president Of the Lockmore Cotton
Mills and the head of the Armstrong
mill interests who together with Mrs.
Armstrong and several other members
of the family and their friends came
down from Gastonia, for the occasion

The Race Question.

Because the relations between whlte
and colored are generally so satisfac-
tory throughout rf is whole section,
there is very little to be gained by
constant discussion Of the race ques-
|tion.
The troubles in Washington and
Chicago. are not difficult for any south
ern white man of affairs and an aver
age stock Of social, political and
economic information to understand
especially If that southern man is
familiar with race relations during the
past several generations.
The negroes around Washington are
generally of an undesirable class-a
class that is obsessed with the Idea
of association with political power
and generally worthless, doless class
that is without reasonable present OF
future hope.
1t is mainly because Of the large
number of negroes in Washington to-
day that inhabitants of the district
generally are deprived of the ordinary
privileges of governing citizen
ship. The negroes cannot be disfran-
chised without disfranchising the
whites, so all are disfranchised so far
as being allowed to vote in Washington
| is concerned.
The Chicago negroes for the most
part wore lured Ihere from the south
in order that the money grubbers
might make profit from their labor
and that the politicians might gel
power through their votes.
The experiment has failed to such
an extent that now the people who
are responsible for such a large influx
of negroes would be glad to undo what
they have done.
In spite of all that has been said by
anybody anywhere, the negro can get
along better in the south than in any
other part of the country and he is
really more appreciated in the south
than he Is anywhere else.
But this one thing should not be for
gotten.
There can be no equality between
the white man and the negro at the
ballot box. The negro should shun
the ballot box as he would the plague
If he should outvote the whites and
acquire power, he would soon be ex-
terminated. and If he should attempt
again to become the balance of power
between divided groups of whites, his
fate will be no better.
There are those, both white and COL
ored who continue to persuade the
negro that his salvation lies in the
acquisition of the political power; but
these people are the worst enemies
the negro has in this country, because
of all the pitfalls that beset the path
Of the negro those which are baited
with promises of political power, carry
the sures; measure of his destruction

Mayor Gillen of Newark, n. j., has
received letter from William Lempke,
counsel for the Nom Partisan League,
of North Dakota, stating that matters
al progressing rapidly with the state
owned mills and elevators, and that he
is willing to undertake the shipment OF
flour to Newark at prices far below
those being offered through the regu-
lar channels of the brokers', wholesal-
ers.-grocers, commission houses, etc.
Mr.. Lempke wants the mayor of New
ark to perfect arrangements for dis
tribution of flour to the people; but
says he will not object to having the
flour sold by regular retailers, provided
the regular retailers will be satisfied
with a reasonable profit that will give
the ultimate consumer an appFeciable
reduction in the cost Of the flour.
North Dakota, it is probably under
stood, is now regularly in the banking,
milling and elevator business, and is
haping things up in such a way as to
dispense with as many middlemen as
possible, looking to the end that the
benefits of the saving thus effected
shall go as largely as possible to the
producer and the consumer.

The Waterloo Lion.

The question of changing about the
Waterloo lion so as to have the head
face Germany instead Of France, was
the subject Of q most serious debate
in the Belgian chamber of deputies
last week.
Ono hundred years ago it was France
that was menacing the peace Of Eu-
rope as was Germany recently, and
she was finally overthrown, only by
the combined efforts Of all the other
nations, including Germany.
After the battle Of Waterloo, Eng
land, which claimed to have done the
trick, just as we all know America
did this time. placed upon the field a
mighty British lion.
The head Of the lion was turned to-
ward France and the significance of
the monument was that If France
should move toward northern or CEN
trail Europe again, the lion would hurl
her back as before.
But now since the recent great dan
ger, came from the other side, and
France and England formerly antag-
onists, are united against the ally
which so staunchly supported Eng
land against France, there is some
thing about the notable emblem that
makes men think there should be a
revision of its significance.
AS the result Of the debate in the
French chamber of deputies, it was
decided to leave the lion as 1t stands,
mainly on the ground that the monu-
ment is Of tremendous historical signi-
finance, and that the late great war
can be commemorated by other monu-
ments.
Really and truly there Is as much
reason why the lions head should
now be turned toward Germany as
there was originally why it should
have been turned toward France.
On top Of the mountain divide be-
tween Chile and Argentina there is a
statue of marble known as the Christ
of the Andes" This statue is Of
peculiar and remarkable origin. Poll
tical dispute between the countries
mentioned resulted in the mobiliza-
tion of armies and the making of other
preparations for fierce and bloody
war; but before any overt acts were
committed, reason and common sense

of paving other streets Of the town be
done while the present street work Is
in progress, there has been consider
able discussion Of the matter on the
streets and elsewhere, and in all prob
ability q citizens meeting will be held
sometime within the next few weeks
in order to afford full consideration Of
the subject.
Banks Mckinney has leased the
barbershop Of ]. r. Kelly and. will
take charge of the shop today. Mr..
Mckinney received mis- discharge from
the army last week after serving with
the Fifth Division overseas, several
months of his time being spent In
Germany. w. D. Morrison who has
been the lessee Of the shop for some
time past expects to go into the
grocery business at the Cannon Mill
with his brother, F. p. Morrison.
Just where the stuff came from
nobody appears to know as usual, but
according to statements Of officers
and others, there was considerable
liquor in evidence in and around
Yorkville Saturday afternoon and
night. The situation has been rather
quiet IN regard to liquor for several
weeks until last Saturday night when
1t broke out anew. officers yesterday
learned that there was considerable
liquor drinking engaged in on Sunday
also, and a slight disturbance at one
Of the country churches where services
were being held, has been reported.
No arrests have been made in connec-
tion with the matter.
This town needs more streets and
it needs them badly. It's growth can
never be what 1t ought to be without
more streets. That is certain. To get
teeth; but under the circumstances
it Is fully justified. The advance in
real estate values on account Of the
paving work has already amounted to
considerably more than the paving
work Is going to cost; but the addition
al values that could easily be develop
ed by the creating Of more streets
would amount to a great deal more
would be justified If necessary. There
should be at least one and still better
two streets paralleling Wright avenue
from Kings Mountain street to- Madi-
son street. There could be street from
Congress to College or Church street,
starting at the Rose hotel building and
coming out at about w. M. McCon-
nell's. A street from Smith street COM
ing into Congress between G. +. Sher-
er's automobile store and the residence
Of Mrs. M. q. Nichols would be good
idea. Church or College street could
be extended across East Liberty to
East Madison at about the Yorkville
oil mill property, to good advantage.
There are other places in which streets
could be opened to fine advantage. But
to secure some badly needed thorough
fares through the town is going to re-
quire judgment and courage.
