LINNEY'S CHANCES Dispatches from Washington state that owing to protests by negroes from the north ami -west, where the tt colored. vote is considerable, the thances for the confirmation of Fiarfk A.

ATTEND THE .MEETING There should be more men at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Monday night than there were last Monday nighC and there was a splendid crowd there at that time. The reorganization is coming along in grand shape. By Monday noon the steering committee ought to re report the goal almost reached. If they do not make such a re port, then somebody in Hickory has been remiss in his duty. But be on hand for the meeting and Mart the woik off all together for Hickory and this section of the state.

It. is a great, broad, uni versal public benefaction. It lifts the entire community; it is the right arm , of the intellectual development of the people, ministering to the .U ants of these who are already educated and spreading a universal desire for education. It is the upper story of the public school system, while it is a broad field wherein ripe scholars may find a fuller training for their already highly developed faculties. It is above all a splendid instrument for the education and culture of those vast masses of boys and girls that are denied the high privileges of the systematic training of the schools. Morganton is making an effort to establish a public library and encour aging headway has been made in funds raised for the" purpose. If all wil help according to thefr means the movement will succeed. A library here would be ag reat town asset. REPUBLICANS AGREE ON FORM OF PEACE RESOLUTION Washington, May 28. Republican members of the house foreign af fairs committee agreed on the form of a peace resolution which will be put before the full committee next Thursday for adoption. . 0 Wlhile Chairman Porter declined to give out the text, it was said the resolution wpuld not diffrn- lnater-r ially from that he recently introduc ed providing for a termination of tho ftnte of Avar beteen the United Slates and Germany and Austria and j Hungary. Majority members, it was understood, were unwilling to accept the provision of the Knox resolution, adopted by the senate, repeat'r.r the declaration of war. BRIAND COURAGEOUS STAND Sp'i'vf ield Republican. High praise must be given to Premier Briand for the courage with which he faced a hostile chamber of deputies anel staked his political career on a mevlerate policy. Jn criticizing foreign policies it is easy to overlook the personal element which in every country looms so large when its own problems are un der consideration. There is a ten dency to personiry countries find at tribute to them a simplicity of mo tive and action which on a closer view is seen not to exist. The men at the head of affairs have to be po liticians as well as statesmen, - and the cosmic view is often sorely dis turbed by ti'juble.some problems as how this or that group will vote. Probr.bly none of them has been able to follow his own ideals, yet there come crises when a firm stand is necessary even at the risk j&f politi cal suicide, and Premier Briand, who has more than once." showed' courage in the past, displays it again; The murky atmosphree is percep tibly cleared by his strong stand against hasty measures, and also by the excellent spirit shown" by the new German Cabinet in ' promptly assenting to the demand of the allies for the closing of the Upper Silesian frontier. Germany's assent has been made , the basis for fresh represen tations to Poland as to its duty in the matter, and if the masses in the af fected region can be brought under control the prospect for a settlement will be maele much more hopeful; the great danger has been that agi tation and local fighting might bring on a people s war which govern ments would be unable to curb and which might spread till a large area was" involved; to stop hostilities is cf prime importance. The return of a more optimistie spirit is shown by the announcement by the Frennch government of a par tial demobilization of the class of 1919, and by reports of fresh ne gotiatiohs for a solution oij the Silesian question on new lines. One nl an suggested is putting the pleb iscite area under the control of the League ef Nations for 30 years when ft new vote would be taken to determine the permanent frontier This would at least have the advan tage of postponing a decision on which agreement now seems impos sible, and it would provide for an equitable allotment of coal during the period for payment of the Ger man war indemnity. Very likely this like eveiry other plan suggested will meet with obstacles, but it is hopeful that the discussion of constructive measurers has again begun. the Easter families Walter Cain, son of Gardner Cain, was last week convicted of perjury m connection-with the ho micide anc following his- conviction Solicitor Graves' investigation was made and his recommendation maele to the gov ernor. The executive committee of the University trustees in session here Fiiday discussed at length plans :."or the completion of the two-year build ing program entailing an expenditure l ottecuon ci sites lor the various buildings to be erected and an exchange of ideas over the most feasible way ol handling the work- were matters under discussion.

Cameron, Okla. "I have used TQedtord s Black-Draught for about thirty years, and certainly ought to Know oy this time what a good medi cine it is," eays Mr. T. L. Bostier, a well-known farmer of this place. Mr. Bostier has passed his three-score-and-tenth year, but declares his health still is good, "and I can say Black Draught did its part." "Where there is a lot of malaria, a liver medicine is a necessity, and I have never found one better than Black-Draught," continues the Okla homan. "It is one that I know to be reliable. I sure use it for the liver, etoraach. constipation, indigestion, and It has done me a world of good. Wo use it for tho family, and It gives satisfaction. "Most trouble, or sickness, comes from the liver, and If taken in time can be avoided. That is why I use Black-Draught as I do. I am much pleased with results,, obtained."
