HIGH POINT FOLKS EXTEND GLAD
HAND.
Furniture City Will Join in the Buy
abale-of-cotton" Movement-This
Aid is unselfish.
(Thornwell Haynes.)

(Thornwell Haynes.)
High Point, Sept. 12.-The key
note of that cooperation which has
for its object wider vision than
financial gain was struck by the
man or men over in Georgia who
started the "Buy-a bale-of. cotton
movement, and in this co operation,
along with other towns, High Point
has taken her stand. WAR has its
benefits as we'll as peace" and if
the grim monster serves only to
cause the birth and nurture of such
cooperation it will be of inestima.
BILE benefit to all Southerners, and
probably directly to all Northerners
and Westerners as we'll.
Every once and awhile during re-
cent years We have found new cor
porations revoIutionizing business
activities in some particular. A
prominent writer has called atten-
ton already to the little retail co.
operative stores which have during
recent years rooted themselves per-
manently into the habits of the
poorer people of the New England
States. There are no cooperative
banks and cooperative laundries,
and the eminently successful or
ganization of the California orange
growers and the apple men of the
Northwest are we'll known every
where. while it was only year ago
that New York State amended it's
business corporation law so as to
provide for the organization of CO.
operative enterprises Every one
knows that cooperation, when sue.
cessful, saves money, and that this
saving is the basis of the propagan.
da on which co operation is spread.

MESSAGES CONE
FROM PETROGRAD.

: ~
Indicate Series of Misfortunes are
About to Make Austria Sue fol
Peace.
London, Sept. 1O-Exultant mes
sages from Petrograd and admissions
of disasters from/Vienna indicate
that the long series of military mis-
fortunes marking the history OF
Austria-Hungary are about to be
capped with an unparalleled debacle,
which may not only open the road
to Berlin but. bring the dual mon
archy to sue for peace.
The armies in France seem to be
pausing as if to watch the fatefnI
drama in Galicia, the outcome of
which may have tremendous eff
feet on the plans of the western
campaigns.
England had looked hopefully for
a Russian coup but the impetus
which the Russian army has &C
quired has surprised even the mill
tary experts. \ The movement has
been so speedy that the German di-
visions advancing on the Vistula are
hardly likely to arrive in time to as
sist their sorely pressed ally in
Galicia.
Reports from Petrograd indicate
that tbe Russian armies already are
driving the Germans before them
on tie western bank Of the Vistula.
In this region the only base lett for
a rallying point tor the Austrian and
German forces is Cracow, the old
capital of the kingdom OF Poland,
situated IN Gallcia on a broad plain
on the left bank or the Nistula and
not more than so miles from the
frontier of Silesia. If Cracow falls
is felt in London that annihilation of
the Austro- German armies in the
southeast may result.
The Russian advance now oCcu
pies almost d straight line from
Koenigsberg, on the Baltic in east
Prussia, to CracoW. If Austria is
disposed of, d tremendous battle
line from 200 to 800 miles long may
sweep into the German empire.
Manv English breakfasts went
untasted this morning while the peo-
pie read the graphic account by
Field Mafshall Sir John French,
commander-in-chief of the British
forces on the continent. of the strug-
gle of the British expeditlonary
force to keep them from being ami
hllated.
Like wildcat pursued by hounds
the British force backed stubbornly
towards the river Disc, constantly
showing its teeth but realizing that
it must attain the river or perish.
General FrenCh's frank confession
has fallen like a bombshell on the
English public, who up to the pres
ent time have not been permitted to
know how hand-pressed their army
has been.

Solitude.

Laugh, and the world laughs with
you;
Weep, and you weep alone,
For the same old earth must bor-
row its mirth,
But has troubles enough of its
own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air;
The echos bound to a joyful
sound,
But shrink from yoicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieye, and they turn and 60,
They want full measure Of all
your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad and your friends are
many;
Be sad and you loose them all
There are none to decline your
nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's
gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowd
ed,
Fast and the world goes by,
Succeed, and it helps you live
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of
pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file
on,
Through the narrow aisles of
pain.
