The Spring Term of Watauga partIj visifcor8 attending court

exhaustive. In closing his charge
he made one of the most power
ful talks on the world war situa
tion that has been given her
since the struggle began. His
wonderful picture oi wnat tne re-;
suit would be should the Ger-
mans win the war, was nostcon
v ucing. He impressed the fact
th it there are only two sides to
the w.tr that of the Germans
and the American and Allies,
an 1 those who are not for us are
gainst us.
Tn State docket was takn up
iraraeJi itfcly and, listen! within
two hours working time, the lit
tle cases thereon were disposed
f, riot even one of them going
to the jury. Our Solicitor, Mr. J.
J. Hayes, made his trip from
Wilkesboro, and had to content
himsMi with fws amounting to
15.50, while not alawyer at the
b ir even made a speech before
the jury. And, the civil docket
was disposed of in about the
same way, not a jury case, nor a
speech by a lawyer at the bar.
Court continued through Tues
day, the time being taken up in
continuances, etc., and'eourt ad
journed in the afternoon, having
been in actual session possibly
not more than 12 hours for the
term. Judge Carter said that be
youd question, the most remark
able term of court over which he
has ever presided, and added that
it was indeed a credit to the
good people of Watauga. The
Judge and visiting attorneys
left for their respective homes

Mr. Linney declined to speak out
of deference to the large amount
of "imported oratory" which
was available. Before taking

said "I will now introduce to yon

vote will come forward and ad

said Mr. Linney, ''1 introduce
to you T. B Finley and Chas. G.
Gilreath" (more cheers) "Then
Hon. Hay den Burke will address
us; if Wilkes fails us, Alexander
will come to our aid."
Mr. Burke made a rousing ad
dress in which he said he was too
old and his boys too young for
t ie service but that he did not
have a single dollar too good to
bd sent to the help of the boys at
the front.
Following this was an address
by Hon. W. C. Newland. Mr
Newland said in part, "I am not
too old for service. At the be
ginning of this war I went to
Washington and offered my ser
vices. One of our senators said
he could get me a bomb-proof
position in Paris, I refused, say
ing I would accept any position,
however bumble, on the front.
"If we cannot go we may help
by buying Liberty Loan Ronds
and War Savings Stamps. These
make an attractive, safe and
sound investment."
Capt. Edmund Jones was in
troduced by Capt. E. F. Iwill
as a "veteran of two wars." His
address was pregnant with pa
