LENINE STILL TRYING TO
HANDLE THE WORLD.

Notwithstanding the famine in
Russia, the lack of seed wheat, to say
nothing of the fact there is little for
the people to eat, Lenine still seems
to entertain the idea that the Sd. In
ernationale can regulate the affairs
of the world, through the policy that
has ruined Russia. This is the gist of
his address delivered before meeting
of the leader of that body.
However it is doubtful if even Len
Inc fels as strongly as his words
would indicate, since the combination
has made such a miserable mess and
failure, as the result of it's experiment
with socialistic doctrine and ideals.
Lenine announced in his speech
that the capitalists had been run out
oof Russia, and that it was the duty
of the Third internationale to effect
the same result in other countries.
In other words if he could have his
way, he would destroy all initiative
and incentive in the rest of the world
to make an honest living, accumulate
property and be some body and
something with due appreciation
of the responsibilities of life, the
only course which has ever amounted
to anything, produced anything or
made for development and progress.
If Lenine had his way the world
would be starving, and even America
with it's magnificent resources and
generous hearted people who have
taken care of the world during the
periods of stress, through which it
has recently passed, would be unable
to contribute anything towards it's re-
Mobilization
The Bolsheviks in Russia have sto-
len everything they could lay their
hands on and run the owners of
their i'll gotten gains out of the
country. This they have squandered
and eaten, even to the seed wheat to
make another crop. They would go
out in the rest of the world and do
likewise. But the days of Lenine and
his crowd are about numbered. The
sooner they are displaced and Russia
gets on her feet and to a different
way of thinking the better for Rus
sia and all the followers Of Lenine
wherever they may be.

LAW ENFORCEMENT IN WILSON
COUNTY

We want our people to think more
of law enforcement, and the causes
that lead to infractions of the law.
Of course every good citizen wants
to see the laws enforced Any other
opinion regarding law will only lead,
If allowed to be put into effect, into
anarchy and disorder, in which the
lives of no man or woman will be
safe.
1t is probably safe to say that Is
per cent of the people of Wilson
county are guilty of violating the
laws regarding the traffic in liquor,
This is a severe Indictment, but
aet's see il this is not true. Sup
pose any man in the county should
receive liquor in any form in vio-
qation OF the law, is he not aiding
and abetting the liquor traf1c? And
really il he not as guilty morally in

Henry Ford has made success
of his railroad the Detroit, Toledo
and Ironton. He has cleared S5OO,-
900 on it during the past six months
Nv careful management notwith-
standing the fact that he has reduced
freight and passenger fare. So sue
cessful has he been that the people
along his line have asked the govern
ment to follow the Ford example as
to the running of the other roads IN
the country that the waste of time
and money be used for the beneht OF
the customers along other lines.

Lenoir, Aug. 10.-Donald Mclean,
a young jitney owner of LenOir lies
at the point of death at the Green
Park Hotel at Blowing Rock as re-
suit of a difficulty with some ne
groes. Mclean had carried a load
Of passengers from Lenoir to Blow
ing Rock in the afternoon, and just
about night was getting them round
ed up for the return trip when he
met an automobile in which three
negroes were riding. The negroes
gave little roadway, and Mclean
said something to them.
The meeting occurred just this side
of the village and the negroes drove
on towards the village, where white
boy by the name of Simmons heard
them plotting to go back and over
take Mclean and kill him. They
overlook Mclean at the Patterson
place, between Green Park and Sky
land, where one of them & knocked
Mclean in the head with a bottle
and another fired three shots into his
breast and side. Another, Gene Fer
guson, of Lenoir, saw the shooting.
Ferguson ran and told some men
who went to the scene of the trouble

encouraging the violation OF the law
as the man who makes and sells it?
Again il the people Of Wilson
county will stop drinking liquor. and
they can get along without it. would
not the demand for liquor cease. and
those who are engaged in making it.,
having their industry destroyed,
cease to deal in it?
These thoughts have been induced
by the death of Mr.. Pearson who was
shot at his hog pen a few days ago.
Is it not about time for every good
citizen to think about his response
bility in the matter?

the temporary rate allowed the COM

$24O per cubic foot.

nounced yesterday by Chancellor Wirth,
has adjourned sessions until Novem.
Der 3.
BEFORE adjourning. the Rclchstag re-
jected by vote of 213 TO 152 rcso
luton presented by the German Ma
tional and German Peoples Parties
vigorously protesting against the recent
decision Of the Council Of the League
Of Nations on the partition Of Upper
Siesia. During the course of his speech
to the German legislators yesterday.
Chancellor Wirth enumerated in detail
GCrmany's loss in materials through the
Upper Slesian decision, stating that
the nations economic strength "is so
diminished that all estimates as to Ger
many's capabilities TO fulfill the repara =
tions demands must again be open to
doubt"
In concluding his address the Chan
Cellor summed up the Government at
titude, substantially as follows:
The Government regards the latest
economic decree Of the Entente as an
injustice TO the German people and all
infringement upon the terms of the
Treaty Of Versailles. which is contra
dictory to the decision of the four great
Powers and against which the German
Government makes the most solemn
protest known to International law as
shield of the oppressed.
Purely in order to avert the threat
uttered in the decree and rs far as
possible TO save the Germans of the
Upper Silesian region from pending dis.
tress, the German Government finds il.
self obliged ''in conformity with the
Powers decree to send delegates pro.
vidcd for in the decree. without. how
ever. altering its conception of what is
right"
