WORK ON new RAILROAD
WILL BE STARTED SOON

Material to be used in the con-
structi0n ofthe new railroad between
iayesville, in Clay county, and An
drews, OF Valleytown township, in
Cherokee county, are being receiy ed
along the site OF the proposed line, &C !
,ordlng to word received in Ashe-
vile. 1t is the opinion of the con-
tractors that the line will be COM
pleted and ready for freight and
passenger service within one year.
When the railroad is finished it
will mark the realization of an am
oltion of citizens of Clay county
IN 1T had its inception several years
ago.
Moved by public opinion, four
years ago, the commissioners OF Ciay
county issued bonds for $4,000,
their share OF the contemplated road
The other $4,000 was furnished by
the ValleytoWn township. Work was
started on the road but the money
was used up III grading and only a
few cross ties were laid before the
project had to be abandoned. The
authorities in charge have tried for
the past three years to induce some
interested company to complete the
road but only recently have their
wishes been realized. S. F. Chapman
and John Arbogast of Asheville have
formed corporation and contract
ed to complete the road within the
aext year. 1t is believed that work
on the road will be started in few
days.
Hayesville, the county seat of
Clay county, is isolated by lack of
all facilities and it is believed that
he completion Of the road will serve
IS d boon to building in this section
If the state.
In anticipation of the completion
of the road, three brick mercantile
buildings have been started and the
Methodist congregation has just
completed a $4,000 church.
Several business men of Clay.
Graham and Cherokee county, have
formed a corporation and bought
the Andrews Sun. They will spend
$4,000 for improvements and will
convert the publication into a tri
county weekly paper.

THE MINISTRY OF LITTLE CHILDREN

The tragic death Of little four
year old Miriam Allen Rhinehart
deeply stirred and moved the Clyde
community. She was a universal
favorite. She was so bright and
intelligent, so sunny and cheerful.
Her ministry though brief was
blessed, inspiring and helpful. She
was a blessing to the writer and
his family, for she spent almost as
much time with us as she did at
her own home. The sweet spirited
little child is now with Jesus who
when here among men, took little
children in His arms, and blessed
them, declaring that of such is the
kingdom of heaven.
My heart goes out toward parents
who have lost dear little children.

60. COMMISSIONERS
ADOPT ROAD LAW

The County Commissioners in req
ular session last Monday adopted
he Redwine Road bill whereby the
commissioners can sell bonds, bor-
row money or either raise the one
fourth by taxation. This act only
affects the national and state high
ways, and the roads will remain
under the same law that they have
been for the past several years.
The Commissioners filled all va
cancies in the different road trust
ees through the county, and they
are urged to get busy at once and
rpeair the roads under their super
vision.
AS soon as the State Highway
commissioners makes the surveys
and estimates as to the cost t e
County Commissioners will raise
the necessary one fourth to meet
the Federal and State aid.
According to the press the State
Highway Commissioners are going
TO get busy and start work on the
roads through the State at the ear
liest possible moment, and as this
county was among the first to apply
for aid it is thought that we will be
among the first counties to get the
road work started.

PEACE TREATY
READY BY EASTER

PARIS, April 6.-The preliminary
peace treaty will be ready by Easter
and the Germans will be asked to
come and sign it.at the end of Apri1
or the beginning of May, Premie,
Lloyd George Of Great Britain. de.
clared in an interview today with
otephane Lauzanne, editor of the
Matin.
IN answer to a remark by M. Lau-
zanne that what troubled public opin
ION wasnot so much the delay as the
secrecy in which the peace negotia-
tons were wrapped and the fear that
there was some divergence of opin-
ion, the British premier said.
l affirm that there is no differ
ence among the negotiators. They
are often confronted with technical
differences which can only be settled
after close study. Take the oues-
tlon OF reparations. In SUBSTANCE the
allies have one common principle
which once set forth thus: Ger
many must pay up to the last far
thing of her power
But is it sufficient to draw up a
bill and hand it to enemy? Must
we not require guarantees and must
we not study the terms, methods
and forms of delayed payments?
Mu@t we not be able to say to our
adversary when he pleads made
quacy of resources: Yes, you can
60 as far as that and you must cd
It and you must DO that?' In a word,
snail we simply present bill or COL
lect he money, all the money DOS
slble! Well, that is where the work
comes in slow and that technical ex-
perts OF the highest capabilities and
great experience are not in agree
ment< among themselves either as to
tbs. method of liquidation or as to the
assets to be realized.
mo, there is divergence among
the negotiators, but, alas, there are
inevitable ones among the experts
often among those from the same
country. Who is to decide between
mem If not the negotiators and do
you think it can always be done
quickly?"
M. Laramie remarked that what
public opinion could not underst and
was, why, before everything, Ger
many was not handed a full bill no
ma ter what amount and forced to
admit full liability.
And who says we shall not do
SO? cried Premier Lloyd George.
Vino says we have not decided
that?'
mo one, the interviewer inter
rupted. has said that you have de-
cided it,
The British premier resumed:
Cannot the people wait until we
nave finished our work instead Of al
ways wanting to judge our inten-
tons. This conference had to meet
and discuss things under conditions
unprecedented in history. All eyes
are turned toward it, and what is
more grave, all ears are glued at it's
keyhole. Enemy ears tremble with
JOY when they detect some hesita-
ton. Friendly ears half hear confus-
ed rumors which are peddled far
and quickly.
The day does not pass but what
some false news here and there takes
its flight. Nevertheless, no day passes
but that we in silent delib.ration
feel approaching nearer the great
aim and experience for each other
more esteem, confidence and affect

days. 1t will then be able to pronounc
on facts, not rumors. "-Asheville

Sylvia for Lyman, Wash, We cross

of 1867 miles, and on March 9th
we stepped off the train in a new
country. There we met our sister
who had come west ahead of us
and whom we had had not seen for
some time.
We spent about month looking
the country over, then we went to

April 1914 we came up to the

and when the autumn leaves began
to fall, to the hills we went; killed
many deer, bear and cats. In this
way we learned the country al

The innocence, the gaity, the pur-

the sublime Hebrew poet finds
childhood a refuge from the carp
ing cares, perplexing doubts and
rude rebuffs of this wicked world
How the genius of our great poets
has been stirred and kindled by the
celestial beauty of childhood. The
following lines by an American
poet finds an echo in every human
heart:
They are idols of the heart and the
household.
They are angels of God in disguise:
His sunlight still sleeps in the
tresses
His glory still CLEANS from their
eyes.
Oh! those truants from home and

They have made me more manly
and mild,
And know how Jesus could liken
The Kinfn m of God to a child.

cause they seem to stand upon a

Not in entire forgetfulnes,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory, do we

Sharpers have overreached and de-
