Sabre and Lance Meet.

From the Battle Front Via Paris,
Oct. 10, 11.51 p. m.-Sabre and ance
came into play many times today. The
French, British and German Hussars,
I~encers, dragons and cuirassiers IN
enormous numbers, came into contact
near Lille. There were no brilliant
charges by long lines of horsemen to
record, but the British and French
often crossed swords with the blue
gray blad Germans.
There is not an inch of ground here
abouts which does not show traces OF
the awful character of the battle. The
town of Albert is a mass of ruins.
Rove has disappeared under constant
bombardment. 1t was the center OF
the German efforts to break through
the allied lines. The German artillery
had taken advantage of many quar-
ries in the vicinity where they placed
guns which were beyond the reach OF
the French artillery.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
To Shippers and Receivers of Freight
in North Carolina:

! To Shippers and Receivers of Freight
in North Carolina:
Attention is called to reviser tariffs
containing rates for the transporta-
! ton of freight between points in
North Carolina, effective October Is,
! 1914. These tariffs are issued in &C
cordance with the decision of the
| Special Rate Commission, dated Au-
gust 13, 1914.
All freight tariffs of the Southern
Railway company in conflict with the
| provisions of this order have been
Cancelled or revised to conform to the
rates, rules and regulations prescrib-
ed by the Special Rate Commission.
Special attention is called to the
fact that in the application of this
new law, many important changes and
new conditions are brought about, the
knowledge of which is essential to
every shipper and receiver of freight
in North Carolina. Ordinarily there
is one rate between any two points
within the State. Under the new law
there will be as many rates between
two given points as there are available
routes between such points. A new
basis for making joint rates with 9TH
err lines is provided and the shipper
has the right to select the shortest
available route. Some of these routes,
while physically shorter than others,
are longer from the standpoint of eff
cient service, and the movement of
freight via these unusual routes will
necessarily require more time than
is sent via more efficient routes.
Shippers should in all cases insert
in the bill of lading the route over
which it is desired that the shipment
move. If shipments are rendered to
Agents of this company and destined
to a point on it's own line, but with
out specific routing instructions, it
will be assumed that it is the desire of
the shipper that the shipment move
over the Southern Railway at its law
fully established rate, v e though a
lower rate may be in force via anoth-
er route. For further information ap-
ply to the Agent of this Company at
this station or to the following officers:

greater than the cost of a non-fire-

ADVISES DIVERSIFIED CROPS.

Washington, Oct. Secretary Hous-
ton today sent to a number of south
ern exchanges today a letter advo-
eating a constructive movement for
diversified crops in the south rather
than al attempt merely to restrict
cotton acreage. He had been asked to
secure and publish pledges from cot
ton planters to reduce their acreage
next season. Restriction, Secretary
Houston said he believed, would not
prove effective.

FIGHTING FOR AMENDMENTS.
Campaign Waged Looking to Adoption
y of Proposed Amendments.


j. of Proposed Amendments.
Raleigh.-The informal citizens
conference on constitutional amend
ments, called by J. w. Bailey, Clar-
ence Poe, W. A. Hilderbrand and 9TH
ers to formulate plans for assuring the
| gulIest possible vote for the 10 pend
ing amendments at the November cleo
ton, brought together a o or more
/ citizens who made r. r. Williams of
AshevilIe chairman of the conference
and directed him to appoint a com
| Laign committee to later name a cen
trail committee of so representative
| citizens to aid in the work for the
| adoption of the amendments.
In the conference J.. w. Bailey stated
the purpose for which the conference
had been called. He and A. E.. Holton
o. Winston-Salem, w. A. Self of Hick-
DRY, A. L. Brooks of Greensboro and
others expressed the view that if the
amendments which were prepared by
a non-partisan legislative commission
and adopted by the legislature are to
be ratified at the polls, there must be
active and aggressive work in the in
terest of the amendments among the
people throughout the State as there
were indications that there were enc
mics on the still hunt for their defeat,
il there was no actual, o~utspoken eff
fort for it.
The taxation amendment was es-
pecially mentioned as being marked
bv strong enemies for defeat and as
being one of the very best of the 10.
Letters were read from numbers OF
citizens in many parts of the State re-
eretting that they could not attend,
but pledging their best efforts for the
! success of the amendments.
! Chairman Williams said tonight that
Chairman Bailey and Secretary Wilson
of the campaign committee would
launch a campaign for the amendments
at once, setting out their meaning and
/ Importance of their ratification, and
that a thorough organization will be
perfected for work at the polls, as
well as for speakers to advocate the
amendments in all sections of the
state. The publicity committee will
send out literature and call on the
daily and weekly newspapers to CO.
operate in every way possible.
