COMMISSIONER nj. L. SHIPMAN
STATES HIS POSITION ON ROADS.
In Letter to L. B. Allen Says He Work.
ed Hard Years Ago For Democratic
Road Control, But Has Been Neu-
traI in This Fight.
Raleigh, Feb, 27, 1919.

Hon. T. B. Allen
Fletcher, N. C.
Dear Senator Allen
Your favor Of the 26th reached me
in due course. The road bill is on the
Senate calendar, after passing the
House, just as it was first written.
However, after the opposition arose
to this bill, Mr.. Jackson received
kilograms from two of the Commis-
sioners, pledglng themselves to ap-
point two democrats on the Road
Commission. Mr.. Latham, president
of the Board of Trade, has been down
here for several days, in the interest
of the bill prepared by the organiza-
ton he represents. am informed
that an agreement has been made be-
TWEEN Jackson, Latham and Senator
Cloud, that the two democrats to be
named by the Commissioners shall be
recommended by a mass meeting Of
the Democrats of Henderson County.
With this understanding, Senator
Cloud agreed to let the bill go through
and l suppose the matter is settled.
l have been overwhelmed with Off
cial matters, and this has prevented
me from taking any hand in the road
fight. Of course I have not, and
could not endorse the proposition OF
taking the road system of the county
away from the Democrats and plac-
ing it in the hands of the Republicans.
I have tried to be neutral in the mat
ter, and think have succeeded pretty
well for a man entertaining the view
that the members of my party are
Just as capable of handling local mat
te1s as are the commissioners of the
opposite party.
You know how hard wo, Ketl dawn
here years ago, to secure the enact
nent of a law which wouiG place tllc
control of the roads in the hands Of
file Democrats. / ccGlI rot NV con-
sistently take an opposite view ot the
matter and retain my political integ-
rity, without putting my consc:cnt e
to severe test.
Furthermore, it would be an al
rission that the Democrats OF Hen
Ccrson County are incapable ot haao-
ling the road system, anu f2r this rea-
ron II should be placed in the hands or
the Republicans. 1 do not be'1"Te
this to be true, and feel that ian IN
iustice is being done the party by the
suggestion first made, to place the en-
tire matter in the hands of the C-n:'-
ty Commissioners.
Now, since the commissioners nave
pledged themselves to appoint t"o
Democrats and mass meeting OF tne
Democrats to be held for the purpose
OF recommending these men, De-
lieye we should all get together ana
trv to prevent any break in our ranks
and at the same time unite IN our Ell
forts to make Henderson the banner
good roads county of western North
Carolina. Agitation can do no good'
hut NAV do us incalculable harm.
Thanking you for let''nS ME kn""
your position in this matter "nlcn
va-s communicated to Senator Cloud
along with messages OF both si:"s 10
the controversy, and with high perso-
nal regards, am,
Your sincere friend
M. L. SHIPMAN.

WISE SPENDING.

Are you wise spender? Wise
spending is regarded as a highly i'm
portant preliminary to thrift by the U.
S. Treasury. AS part of it's campaign
for promoting popular savings through
Thrift and War Savings Stamps dur
ing 1919, it has issued through it's
Savings Division the following defini-
tion of wise spending, which merits
the thoughtful attention of every fam
lily and every individual who would get
ahead in life:
Wise spending implies the balanc-
ing of all needs and of all means of
meeting these needs and, after balanc-
ing needs against means, spending in
such a way as to meet the most urg-
ent needs, even if lesser ones have
to be left unsatisfed; in essence it
means sort of budget making. When
family, city or state makes a budget,
what it does essentially is to take a
comprehensive view of both needs and
income.
Perhaps the most important and
difficult problem in connection with
wise spending Tor saving) is to real
lie the relative Importance of future
as compared with present needs"

REMARKABLE MECHANICAL HAND
WAR PRODUCT

1t is unusual to shake hands with a
person wearing an artificial arm and be
gripped tightly with thumb and fingers,
but these natural finger, thumb, and
wrist motions are closely initiated by a
mechanical hand that is illustrated in the
February Popular Mechanics Magazine
The new hand is remarkable not only
in performance, but also in construction
and operation. 1t consists of surprisingly
few parts-about 90 in number-and is
controlled by single cord. This is con-
nected to a comfortable harness that is
similar to the simplest form of shoulder
brace. The hand is carefully patterned
after the human one, is made of alumni
mum, and when gloved, has most nat
ural appearance. Each finger has three
Joints, and the thumb two Sufficient
pressure can be exerted by the new hand
to permit an object weighing 10 h. to be
picked up and held between the thumb
and finger tips. A handkerchief can be
taken from a pocket with ease, a cigar
held in a natural position and extended
to the mouth, and pen or pencil used
with splendid success.

THRIFT STAMPS AS
VALENTINES.

That st. Valentines Day is approach

dows of the stationers of cards and
various trifles bearing vivid crimson
hearts and other appropriate emblems
The character of the day, however,
has considerably changed and an in
quirer was surprised when told re-
Gently that the exchange of valentines
Is now oftener between women or per-
sons who delight to send occasional
friendly greetings, than between sweet
hearts or would-be lovers The more
sentimental sort are especially in
tended for children, and some charm
ing things are shown. The hearts and
arrows and Cupids still adorn them.
but many are also of military charac-
ter with soldiers in khaki, sailors in
blue, tiny Red Cross nurses. and even
ms, tents and other paraphernalia of
war.
Next TO st. Nicholas, ST Valentine is
patron saint of children. The ad-
vent of the postman on the 18th of
February is hailed with squeals of de-
light, and the secrecy which shrouds
the personality of the senders of the
valentines adds fascinating touch of
mystery.
Most of the pretty missiyes come
from grown-ups, from the sisters and
cousins and aunts who grasp every op-
portunity to contribute to the happi-
nes of their small relatives,-and any
thing original for the purpose is
eagerly sought. Thrift is the watch
word of the hour, and why should not
the valentine be used to emphasize its
importance? Why not utilize the new
issue of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps? Attached to a pretty valen-
tine, especially one of patriotic char
acter, little green Thrift Stamp
would be priced by the recipient for it's
Intrinsic worth, and would also convey
several important suggestions, such as
economy, patriotism and helpfulness,

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dltion, hearing will be destroyed forever.

Stories of London Air Raids.
Facts Not Published Before.
DOSE

The first Zeppelin raid over the actual
City of London was on September 8 1915,
when damage was done to the amount of
over 81 600, 900 The casualties were ex-
traordnaryly small in proportion to the
destruction OF houses and business prem
ises, the chief reason being that the worst
fires were in City warehouses, which are
always deserted at night The cutting of
one big silk warehouse alone meant loss
of $40, 900. The excitement caused was
infinitely greater than on the occasion of
previous raids. This was natural in view
of the fact that for the first time the Yep
pelins were clearly seen from many parts
of London.
Farther east, there were terrible scenes
in the Poplar district. A bomb fell on
school, killing and mutilating many chill
dren. 1t penetrated the roof, and after
killing a little girl passed through the
top story floor into the room below, where
several boys were killed. finally explod-
ing in class of infants where there were
sixty-four mites. Twenty children were
taken to the hospital; three of them were
dead and four died afterwards Twelve
of the wounded children were five years
old. There were many deaths in the
street in this quarter and many small
houses destroyed. A bomb also fell on
an Islington school.
During one raid an aerial torpedo fell
in the Green Park, shattering some win
dows in Devonshire House and in the
Ritz Hotel. Mr.. Winston Churchill was
in Wimborne House at the time, in the
long room that runs out of the park, of
which the windows were broken. If the
airman had released his torpedo a second
earlier it would certainly have killed the
Minister of Munitions. Another torpedo
tell in the river opposite the Houses OF
Parliament, and threw up a volume of
water to height of 60 feet A shell
also fell opposite ST. Margaret's, West
minister.
On the night of March 7, 1917, the
startling aurora Boreals'' raid was ex-
perienced. That was the raid in which
60Olb. bomb damaged more than 400
houses in Warrington crescent, MAZDA
Vale. Six of them were absolutely des
troyed, and among the victims was Mrs
