French and British Laws
on Armed Ships Differ

Tondou. Feb. i2.-The belief. strong
'v urged by the British press, tha'
merchant ships Of ell tho allied nations
would be similarly affected by any re
strietions on their carrying armament
or neutral passengers has developed the
Saet that the law and practice OF az
ne Allies are not uniform concerning
tho eruirc OF merchant vessels.
The British and Italian practice rec
ovnizes armament for defensive pur-
poses. and the prevailing view eN-
pressed BY the press IS that sueh is q
recognized right under international
lsw.
But the French practice does. not
recognize the ermine Of merchant ships
and French liners TO New YORK are NOT
permitted 20 carry any guns. The legai
.hoorv on which the French practice
,s based IS en- outgrowth OF tho princ,l-
NE that guns are the property Of the
King and that no private individual or
shin shall be permitted 70 use them'
!, case q French merchant ship mounts
guns. il Immediately becomes a naval
auxiliary.
Thie diversity in law and rraetee
indicates that al the Allies would not

$1,OOO. for Good Roads

The people living within the corporate limits of the Town of McCrory have donated $1, 00O.OO in cash this summer for good roads, and most of them are now willing to contribute additional help in the way of free labor to better build. up our highways. This alone is commendable and we believe the country people fully appreciate what has been done. The country people too have been liberal in contributing along this line and with the town and rural people working together in harmony as they are now doing much more good can and will be accomplished.

Postoffice Robbery

Burglars entered the postoffice Sunday night and secured about $5OO.0O in stamps and about &75. % in cash by blowing the safe door open.
 They first went to one of the cotton gins and secured two bars of iron with which they prized open the front door of the build- ing. The result of their work showed plainly they were pro- fessionals at their line of work.
 The burglars packed soap in the crevice around the door and it is thought they used nitro glycerine to blow it. The door was completely blown off and fragments of it and the soap were blown into the plastered wall on the opposite side of the building.
 Postmaster Kyle could not give the amount of the stamps lost as he had just received the package from Washington on the day previous and had not opened it. He ordered about $50O.00 worth, but the govern ment sometimes sends more or less than the amount ordered. Mir. Kyle thinks that the burg lars must have had tip from someone in the government ser vice. He immediately notified the proper officials of the rob- bery but it was the third day later before an officer was sent here.
