AMERICAN
SHIPS
(By the Associated Press!
Washington, Sept. 23. Germany in
her latest note in the Frye case noti
fies the United States that submarine
commanders have been notified not to
destroy American merchantmen, even
when the conditions of international
law are violated, but to permit them
to take their cargoes into port if it is
not impossible for the commanders
to do so.
Germany gave this assurance "in
order to furnish to the American gov
ernment evidence of its conciliatory
attitude," while the question of the
interpretation of the treaty of 1828
is submitted to arbitration. The Amer
ican suggestion for indemnity is ac
cepted. Ag for absolute contraband, the
German note says Germany would re
serve the right to destroy vessels, ac
cording to the declaration of London.
The German note is regarded by of
ficials as evidencing more friendly re
lations between the two countries. It
practically assures the safety of
American passenger ships and crew.

FLOWER GROWERS
WANT PROTECTION
(By the Associated Press)
Berlin, Sept. 23. The war has
brought great difficulties to the flower
growers of Germany but also great
pportunities. For years France and
Italy have been the chief markets
for cut flowers, and even the duties
imposed by Germany have not protect
ed the native merchants.
At the recent annual meeting of the
various gardening associations j
throughout the empire, it was resolv
ed to ask the government to make
special efforts to keep out of Germany
during the coming winter any cut
flower that might otherwise find their
way in, via Switzerland, from either
France or Italy.
Belgium, however, also grows flow
ers in. great quantities. The flower
growers therefore decided to urge on
the government a duty to protect them
against competition from this quar- j
ter, after agreeing that it was urg-
ently necessary.
The members of the associations j
represented agreed to undertake to j
decorate the graves of fallen soldiers !
through volunteer donations of now
ers.

entire co-operation, but that this dif
ficulty would not confront Hickory.
In spite of this, however, the sale
looked like a success. Charlotte's
merchants were helpful and Messrs.

Warsaw by the Germans, plans have

Washington, Sept. 23. The "Suff
rage Drive" now being carried on in
North Carolina by the organizers of
the Congressional Union for Woman
Suffrage is to be conducted entirely
without regard to the politics of the
congressmen whose votes the suffra
gists are trying to obtain for the pas
sage in the next congress of the con
stitutional amendment to refer the
matter to the states.
"Our campaign this summer will not
take cognizance of the politics of the
North Carolina congressmen." said
Miss Lucy Burns, chairman of the
executive committee, at the union's
headquarters .-here. "This is not an
election year, you know. We have not
mapped out a policy of any kind for
the next election. We hope to secure
pledges of as many congressmen as
possible to vote for the suffrage
amendment in congress next winter,
regardless of whether they are dem
ocrats, republicans or progressives."
Miss Emily K. Perry, who. has re
cently been campaigning for the
"cause" in North Carolina, has said so
many complimentary things about
Congressman James J. Britt, the re
publican representative of the Ashe
ville district, that discussion was start
ed as to whether the suffragists in
tended to back Mr. Britt against his
! Democratic opponent in ' 1916. Such
action as this would create a most
interesting situation and in all prob
ability cause the nine Democratic con
gressmen from North Carolina to line
up against the suffragist cause.
A meeting of the Booster Club was
held last night in the Globe Theatre
building, presided over by the presi
dent, Mr. Charles H. Geitner. There
were quite a few directors and mem
bers present to discuss initiation fees
and dues, also to arrange to secure
new members and a place to hold the
future meetings of the club.
President Geitner called the meet
ing to order at 8:45 o'clock and pro
ceeded to the business immediately.
The committee on fees and dues, which
is composed of the following gentle
men, was appointed: "Mr. R. A. Love
lace, chairman; Messrs. A. O. Mit
chell, J. F. Click, Dr. I. A. Wood and
J. H. Hatcher. A committee of three,
Messrs. Charlie Cloninger, Roy Aber
nethy and R. A. Lovelace, was ap
pointed to locate meeting quarters.
It was decided that twenty-five cents
per month should be charged for mem
bership in this organization until Jan
uary 1, 1916, beginning October 1.
After discussing a few minor thine-s
the meeting was adiourned. Regu
lar meetings will be held the first
Friday of each month.

The celerity with which the nego- i

to whether there had been a hitch and
on "what point. At the conclusion of

the commission adjourned without an
nouncing whether their deliberations
-vould be continued today. Word was

Raleigh, Sept. 23. After selling
$20,000 worth of stock n the Southern
Orchard Company, a corporation of
Georgia, Wallace Agcy, treasurer, and ;
a companion named Thebbett have i
been arrested at the instance of Cap- !
tain W. A. Scott, of the insurance de- I
partment and are held in Burlington ;
to answer charge of violating the
"Blue Sky Law." Information to this :
effect was brought to deputy Insur-
ance Commissioner Stacy W. Wade
yesterday. The arrests were made in
Durham where the men went after
operations in Burlington. They had
worked in Asheville, Greensboro, Bur
lington and Charlotte.
In Burlington thev waived a pre
liminary hearing and are held for trial
under $250 bond.
The concern, stock for which they
were selling, is a Georgia r.g orchard
and the men claim that they were
ignorant of North C&roiina's "Blue
Sky law," requiring foreign corpora
tions of such nature to qualify under
state laws, and it is said that they
are anxious to take such steps as will
make their operations legal.
The matter is now under investiga
tion by deputies of the North Caro
lina insurance department. , In Bun
combe county, Captain Jordan has
been notified to find out the extent
of the men's activities in that section
of the country. Thus far, two arrests
have been made under he Blue Sky
law during this month, according to
the North Carolina insurance depart
ment. Mr. Fred May, editor of the Lenoir
News, passed through the city today
en route to Wendell to visit his family.

TIVE NOW
CITY
(By the Associated Press)
London, Sept. 23. The strongly
fortified Russian city of Dvinsk on the
Dvina, 110 miles southeast of Riga,
has become the new German objective
now that the Russian armies have ap
parently escaped from the Vilna net.
The German armies are now making
"more progress, but the escape of the
greater part cf the Russian forces
seems assured.
Southwest of Dvinsk the invaders
captured Russian trenches on a front
of nearly two miles, taking two thou
sand Russian prisoners and eight ma
chine guns. Farther down the river,
the Russians have gained a minor vic
tory. For the time being the domestic
situation in Russia is quiescent. The
Zemsto protest is expected to revive,
and a movement will be started favor
ing the formation of a new cabinet
and the assembling of parliament. On
the western front the French am-,nnn
the repulse of a patrol. Berlin states
that the patrol was withdrawn after
accomplishing its purpose.
There is general activity of the Aus-tro-German
forces along the Serbian
frontier. A semi-official dispatch
from Nish repudiates reports that Ser
bia has been asked in effect to remain
quiescent while the Austro-Germans
conduct their campaign southwards.
The developments in Bulgaria
threw into comparative obscurity the
continued Russian retreat from "Vilna,
but, with the exception that the
northern tip of the Polish front,
where the Russians are on the offen
sive near Friedrichstadt the Germans
claim progress htrough mid-Poland as
far south as Ostrow which they have
captured. The greatest number of
prisoners taken at any point, how
ever, did not exceed 2,000 which
would seem toi ndicate that the at
tempt to complete the coils around
the retreating Russians has proved
unsuccessful.
!0Y SCOUT CAMPAIGN
TO BEGll
The special topic of interest in Hick
ory this week will be the Boy Scouts
compaign on next Saturday, which will
be launched for the purpose of rais
ing funds to. equip their gymnasium"
and scout quarters over the Hickory
Banking and Trust Company. It will
be interesting to note that some prog
ress has already beer, made as two
shower baths were recently installed,
which has created a big scramble
among the youngsters, many of whom
were treated to their first experience
in this form of bathing. The Boy
Scouts believe in keeping clean, and
; this new incentive is having the de-
j sired effect.
The movement on foot to raise this
money is a worthy one and should
i appeal to every public spirited citizen,
; since the youth of Hickory is envolved.
j The campaign will open Saturday
! morning at 9 o'clock and close at 7
j o'clock. The boys have set $300 as the
j mark and they will endeavor to reach
this goal on Saturday night. If the
boys should happen to miss some one
on their rounds, arrangements can be
made at the Van Dyke Book store to
; take care of contributions.
; There is on exhibition in the win
; dow of the book store a handsome
j saddle, bridle and whip which will be
I auctioneered on Saturday and go to
I the highest 'bidder. $10 will be the
I minimum figure of bidding. Every
: body should help the boys on Satur
day. The Hickory Boy Scouts is an
organization for the development of
all around training in manhood.
