closer over her face for fear Don Ma

she covered in the hut, trembling at
every sound.
In these dark hours she recalled the
stories Of the old Varona treasure and
Esteban's interesting theory of its
whereabouts, but she could not bring
herself TO put much faith In either. OF
course it was barely possible that there
was indeed treasure, and even that
Esteban's surmise had been correct
But it was little more than q remote
possibility. Distance lends rosy
color to reality to our most absurd
imaginings but, like the haze that TINS

approach. Now that Rosa was here, in

hopes and half-beliefs faded.
More than once she was tempted to
confde in Eyangelina and Asensio. but
she Thought better Of it. Although she

Former German Emperor Becomes Less In.

1t is as well to keep advised as
to how 1T goes" with the former
Kaiser. A dispatch from Amer
ongen states that since he has
been acquainted with the peace
terms he has become even more
invisible to the outer world. The.
only possibility of catching a
glimpse of him is when he crosses
the drawbridge twice daily, going
to and returning from his log
saving in the garden of the cas-
tie, and then he is only within
sight for about four seconds.
Replying to a repeated request
for a declaration, the former en-
peror sent the following words:

my attitude is unchanged"
The messenger, General Won
Estenoff, gave the correspondent
no hope that anything was likely

Asheville. According to the sto-

the boy was saving wood, and
asking to help him, remarked:

Memories Of Jonah and the Whale.

WvWvitvv W VvhuU uHu NV VHosVs
An Albermarle special to the
Winston Salem journal, gives a
humorous story of a colored par
sons sad experience onthe Ches,
apea1e Bay and in the North. 1t
is as follows:
If all colored people who are
contemplating migrating to the
north could experience what Rev.
Bill Parks saw a few weeks ago
the migration would promptly
cease. Rev. Bill is a preacher of
Albermarle, with a voice for song
that would, with the proper trai.
ming, put a Carusp in abacknum-
Der list as a singer. He had been
regarded by Albermarle people
as "a good, respectable darkey"
up to about six weeks ago. How.
ever, like many of Adams race,
Rev. Bill strayed off after false
gods about the time "a young
mans fancy lightly turns, to
love-" and le+a chocolate colored
sister ALLEVIATE her affections.
This caused trouble with his wife
and, although a "professed pro
fessed proclaimer of the sacred
truth" he allowed his domestic
troubles to get into such a des-
parate condition that he was fore
ed to resort to violence in order,
he says, to keep his wife under
proper discipline. This brought
the minister into Judge Browns
court about six or eight weeks
ago. The result was that the col
'ored brother made up his mind to
go moth and leave his wife and
babies in the hands of a kind
hearted providence.
AS luck would have it, Bill was
on the steam boat that was burn
ed and went down in the Chesa-
peake Bay and he saWa number
of colored as well as white peo.
pie drowned, Rev. Billin relating
the story of the disaster said.

He was saved from the whales $
belly though and went his way
to Buffalo. Asked what he thou
ght of the north, Buffalo, Phila-

Women And Reform In Dress And Movies.

Believing that it is the most
active above its eyes of any organ
i2ation in North Carolina, we al
ways watch with interest the
sessions of the State Federation
of Woman's Clubs. And its dis
cussions this week are indicative
of continued habits of mental hon
esty. The Federation is not try
ing, as so many associations of
men and women try, to impress
the world with the Federation's
ability to furnish salvation for all
concerned and unconcerned right
hot off the bat: it is playing on it's
own side of the fence, nor seek
ing to overturn in entirety the
present social or political order.
TO uphold American institut-
ions, the North Carolina Fedora
tion will, with the National Fed
GRAFTON, seek to Americanize the
women of the country. And if
any body should ask you, there's
quite a bit of Americanization to
be done in North Carolina, for
the very reason that to more than
one member of the State Fedora
ton, we suspect the Government
at Washington stands for that
collection of individuals who so
far have failed to make payment
for grandfather's cotton burned
by Sherman.
But getting right down to tacks
at home, the women are talking
of dress and moving picture re-
form. And only women should
be and will be allowed to reform
the dress of themselves and their
sisters. If the club women of
North Carolina want to reform
dress, hereabouts, they can do it
quite easily by signing the pledge
to forswear ultra styles and liv-
ing up to it.
The same thing goes twice for
moving pictures. When the wo.
menfolk get tired of "vamps"
and sex problems on the screen
and stop showing money in at the
box Office, the movies will become
safe for our small fry. Censor
ship of the sort that would result
in women getting up and leaving
a theater in the midst of an indie
cent picture and telling the man
ager of the show why they were
leaving would do more than the
creation of a board of male or
mixed censors.
But we have no doubt that the
State Federation has thought
of something of the sort, for its
members are among the most
practical of the thinkers Uf North
Carolina. - Raleigh Times.

VOL. XXX.
The UncuntroIlahIes.

While Virginia has better
record for law enforcement in
some respects than our own
State, they have one custom in
that noble Commonwealth which
we trust will not appeal to the
Tar els-and that is a practice
which seems to be becoming
comon, of Shooting up the court
when the decision of the Judge
and jury is not pleasing to the
defendants. The Allen clan
played that game on large scale
at Hillsville, and Notwithstanding
some of the Aliens came to grief
as a result, they still have imitat.
ors. At Stanardsville, Va, last
March one Edgar Morris, alleged
desperate, was fined $40 and
costs for carrying concealed wea-
pons, whereupon he shot up the
courtroom" killing the magis.
trate who imposed the fine. .
Arraigned for this indiscretion
Morris offers infirmity of temper
as an excuse, saying that he was
unaccountable for his actions at
the time he killed the magistrate
as a result of feeling that he was
being unjustly prosecuted; and it
is stated that in support of this
gentleman's claim the records of
the War Department will be off
cred to show that Morris failed
in the mental test for drafted
men. This evidence, if it exists,
may not be sufficient to relieve
Morris of responsibility for kill
ing a man whose only offense was
imposing fine of SO but consid-
ering the disposition to let guilty
wretches escape who can estab-
lish any sort Of claim to mental
irresponsibility, it will not be
surprising if this Virginian gets
less than he deserves.
All of us are familiar with indi-
viduals who plead infrmity of
temper as an excuse for out
breaks. The absurdity of t h t
claim is fully established by the
fact that the very folks who make
it can and do control themselves
when they. think it best for their
well-being so to do. Their out
breaks occur only when they
think they can get by with it,
when those with whom they are
in contact will stand for it. AS a
matter of fact If folks generally
did not control their personal
feelings and inclinations either
as a matter of propriety or be-
cause of fear Of the consequence
es land the latter is often a con-
trolling motive), society would
soon revert to the savage state.
The average man, and most of
the women, have savage instincts
in plenty and if they would tell
the truth they would say that
there are numerous occasions
when they feel an almost irresis
tible impulse to turn loose and
play the savage. They don't be
cause self control of the passions
has become inherent to some de
gree and we practice it because
we fear results would otherwise
make our position in the commu
nifty uncomfortable at the very
least, and possibly endanger oul
personal safety.
All of this is preliminary tc
saying that as about 80 per cen
of us can and do control ourselves
the other per cent should no
be allowed to play the savage ant
offer lack of control as an excuse
If the proper remedies are ap
piled in such cases the uncon
trollable gentry will suddenl!

THE MIXED UNIFORM.

Sergeant Battle Williams, of
Camp Gordon. Ga, writes the
following to the Charlotte Obser-
yer that should bea guide for our
soldiers boys in wearing their H.
informs:
In these days of Back to
Mufti' campaigns, when thous
ands of men have returned from
the service and othors are still
coming. there is a growing ten
dency on the part of discharged
soldiers 10 wear the uniform in
incorrectly, and in such a man
ner as to be inconsistent with
the meaning andimport attached
to to the uniform by the Ameri-
can soldier.
Almost wherever we go, whe-
ther by train or through the
country we see here and there to
a very noticeable extent a mark of
olive drab mixed with civilian
garb, perhaps the o. d. breech-
es worn with a blue serge coat,
and straw hat, presenting as it
does a spectacle of part army
and some civic" The apparently
increasing fashion of mbining
the olive drab with CANDY neck
ties and other stripcolored wear
ing apparel is to be deplored and
denounced as a transgression on
the dignity of the uniform. Such
practice diverts from the sacred
ness of the honor of the soldiers
who put olive drab over the top,
tending to discount the many
blood stained olive drabs tn a t
went down with their wearers in
the war for wordhumanity. Ev-
eryone should know that h e
uniform is symbolicalof theprice
we paid for the world freedom,
that it was the raiment of the no.
BILE heroes who fell on honOr's
field of battle, and thatit deserves
the most illustrious treatment
and respect that we can bestow
upon it.
The wearing of the uniform is
governed by army regulations,
but nevertheless many infringe
ments are made, however, there
is no civilian law to stop the prac,
tice of wearing part of the u
inform with civilian apparel.
Neither does the army endeavOi
to go out after the man who has
been discharged, but even not
withstanding the fact that the
army has no recourse the men
well know that they were expect
ed to honor and respect the uni
form that was given them at the
time of their separation from the
service and not wear it as a mixed
suit of clothes, for then it loses
it's dignity and becomes more Oh
less a mere piece of cloth.
"The uniform should be worr
as a whole or not at all. There is
no real excuse for mixing the
khaki with-.civilian clothes, and
as for that matter they won't mi2
in the eyes of the soldier o.
course there are varied excuses
given for this very prevalent a
buse, chiefly of which are tina
they were unable to get a full
supply of Smufti' apparel a
once after leaving the service
and in some instances no doub
this would be a truthful answer
but why not wear all of the uni
form until able to secure com
