Fort Mil was lepiestnted in the nev county crowd by about 20 o the most representative men o the town and township. The Catawba county enthu siasts each wore a "Ca:awb; County" badge and all appearec confident that they would ge the county. Governor Mannii j reserved his decision in tin matter, but it is believed he wil appoint the commission as re quested. Mr. W. F. Stevenson, candi date for congress from this district, calls attention to the faci that the Democratic, the Republican and the Progressive parties all endorsed Rural Creditf in their platforms in 1912.

He will have more to say later about this proposed law. (Advertisement.) f VILLA Cf l?Bil ; Not yet, but w< f lot of New Sprii i i ever snown nere. \ For I \ New Silks for \ ?

It is dainty, sweet and humorous; it makes one cry one minute and laugh the next, although the laugh always borders close on tears. "Jewel" comes into a wealthy household, containing the "worst afraid" and "sorriest" woman in the world; a gruff, soured old codger, and a mercenary mother and daughter. The settings are of great wealth. Little "Jewel" transforms this household of scheming intrigue which lies "under the shadow of hatred" into a haven of warmth and love and tenderness. "Jewel" was shown in Rock Iiiil a short time ago to a capacity house, the manager of The Majestic Theatre being present. Remember, "Jewel" will be here Next Monday, April the 17th. Shows begin promptly at 3, 4:30. 6, 7:30 and 9 p. m.
