SARTORIS A WATER BOY.
President Grants Grandson Leads
Donkeys for the Foreign Legion.

CHICAGO. Nov Paul Ayres Rock
well in a cable9ram to The Chicago
Daily News from Paris relates that
Captain Algernon Charles Sartoris,
grandson of President Grant, is lead
ing donkeys and acting as water boy
Of the Foreign Legion on the French
front. lie says:
= In the Foreign Legion-that strong
corps Of heroes where princes and poets
battle shoulder to shoulder against the
Germans with ditch diggers and inlet
tered peasants-men often are placed
| in positions which contrast strongly
with their former station in life. The
present occupation of Algernon Charles
Sartoris, grandson of General I. s.
| Grant. is an instance Of this. and it is
one of the finest examples | know of
| real democracy in the allied fight for
civilization and liberty.
This American volunteer, former
captain in the United States army. at
one time q diplomat and well known in
| European and American society, is to-
| day donkey driver and water carrier
with the legion. Sartoris : job is
lneither easy nor safe-that is why he
chose it. The legion now holds
trenches where the drinking water must
be brought from a place several kilo
meters in the rear. Sartoris is in charge
Of four small dOnkeys, and twice every
twenty four hours-one by day and
once by night-he loads the doeilt
beasts with water bags and leads then
through heavily shelled woods and mud
dy communication trenches to the front
firing line, where his thirsty comrade:
watch and fight.

True Economy

Choose that car which will

This constitutes true econ

the most comprehensive
line of cars ever built by
any one producer.

The liquer Situation.

The Editor OF the Recorder
walked around to the offie ofCol-
lector II. W. Bailey to get some
first-hand information in regard
to 1.-THE work OF his department.
Mr.. Baily talked very freely and
said that condition in his dis
trict is most deplorable. Liquor
is being shipped in to many Sec
tions OF Eastern North Carolina
and the local authorities seem to
be ASLEEP, or utterly indifferent
to the conditions which prevail.
As evidence that liquor is being
freely sold, Mr.. Baily told us OF
parties who had offered him large
sums OF money for the Federal
Government IN order to compro.
mise liabilities for the violation
OF the revenue laws. Atonep place,
a carload OF liquor was shipped
and was retailed out to the sur
rounding country. Mr.. Bailey in-
tinated very strongly that he
thought the railroads were lay
ing themselves liable to prosecu.
ito for violating the internal rev.
enue laws, and he could not be-
lieve that this violation was done
ignorantly. 1T is inconceivable"
he said, "that a carload OF H.
quor should be hauled on any
train without the authorities
knowing that the car contained
liquor. MIR. Bailey is doing all he
can with his few deputies to
root out this evil. But he has
only nine deputies and they have
fifty counties to cover, and yet
in many counties, with thissmall
force, he has done more to run
down blind tigers and destroy il.
licit stills than the sheriffs who
are right on theground. Mr.. Bal
ly says that the case is hopeless
u 'less a public sentim IN t
eau be aroused which will force
the local authorities to cooper
ate with the Federal authorities
in enforcing the revenue laws.
Every law:abiding citizen, and
every believer in prohibition,
should bring pressure.to bearup-
on ::the local authorities which
will force them to execute the
law or give place to officers who
will do it. 1t is reflection on any
country that the Federal Gov.
eminent has to come in and pro-
tect it's citizens from this evil
when the sheriff is paid q good
salary to do this very work. All
honor to, the Federal govern
ment and it's officers in their ef-
forts to root out the liquor trai-
flc, but shame upon the local au-
thorities who fail to do their
duty.-Biblical Recorder.

Mrs. j. Crit Norris, of Sands

was in the village Monday, and
had with her her two little neph.
ews,..Wm. and Taylor Stephens,
two ..of the triplets born to hel
sister at johnson City, Tenn, a
little less than three years ago,
the ..mother passing to her re.
ward soon after the children were
born. Mrs. Norris brought them
to her home at once, and to
her great sorrow, the little girl
died at seven months old. The
boys are certainly fine specimens
and show the lavish care that
has been bestowed npon them
by their adopted parents.
And now it.seems that after
all these years of patient toll
(not by proxy, either, the edi
tor of this rag ct liberty has got
his foot in' for slander, be-
cause he rather Inadvertently
said last week, after Dragging
tremendously on the growing
crops of the Hon. Frank A Lin
ney, added, for the purpose OF
keeping farm history straigt in
Watauga, that he, Linney, had
the major part OF his work done
by proxy. Plaintiff has "spoken
to" John H. Bingham, a man
who delves deep in legal lore, to
appear for him in the prosecu-
tion, and departiugfrom all prec.
elents laid down in such cases
turns himself into a swift witness
and says be is KNOWN to the
fact that plaintiff assisted in Gu t.
ting some six or more shocks oi
corn only last week, and that on
the morning after the frost the
plaintiff moved down a patch OF
corn with a scythe, but failed to
state just what it, cost him to
straighten it out aud get it into
shock. All this evidence a pilin
up, rather got the attention oi
defendant, and he stated in re.
buttal that he never intended to
do the plaintiff any harm, and
admitted that he had seen, him
on different occasions, going to
and from his farm in O henry.
ford, and thought be was piliue
in evidence in chunks, when Lin.
ney broke in with "The same az
to soy that riding in a Ford isn't
WORK! Defendent seeing that
he was beaten in the preliminary
swooned, and as soon as he re
covered walled out, "Never mind
We will see you again later wher
