The North Carolina School for the
Deaf is operated and lighted by power
from the electric company and repre-
sents a saving of from $40 to $40 a
day in comparison with last year when
the school generated it's own current
and operated the plants by steam.
A transmission line is to be built to
the State hospital where it will bring
about a much larger saving than at
the school for the deaf. Furniture
companies, cotton mills and other man
u%facturing establishments have adoUt-
ed the use of electricity in running
their plants. The town is also using
current from the new COMPANY at a
saving of something like $500 a
month.

THE SHEEP AND THE DOG.

The Atlanta Constitution and the
Asheville Citizen are engaged almost
daily in an effort to head off the wool
famine. They are urging sheep rails
ing for which both North Carolina and
Georgia are peculiarly adapted. These
propagandists find that the only OBJ
stacle is the sheep killing vagabond
dog. The farmers believe that there
is a fortune in sheep but legislative
dog obsession stands in the way of
their sheep opportunity. Many are
going to try it anyhow but in the
meantime mossback legislatures are
unceremoniousIy invited to contem-
plate the fact that they have done
their bit as promoters of the wool
famine. Wilmington Dispatch.

PULPIT And PEW
FEEL EFFECTS Of
7 ARMY SERVICE

NEW YORK, Oct S.-The pulpit as
we'll as the pew is feeling the effects
OF the draft. Thousands Of church
men have entered the service OF their
country either via the draft or by
the volunteer route. They are being
followed in many cases by their pas
tors. who will serve as chaplains or
Y. N. c. A. workers
That many ministers on the super
annuated lists will be calledNback into
service and laymen will be asked to
do their bit as church leaders, readers.
and exhorters is the belief Of Bishop
Greer, who returned to the pulpit
yesterday at the Episcopal Church OF
the Heavenly Rest here and preached
for the first time in more than a year.
The eX-rector, the Rev. DR.. Herbert
Shipman. Is at Plattsburg and is ex-
pected to go to France shortly.
Bishop Greer stated that many
members OF the clergy had been
granted absences that they may give
themselves in some way as chaplains
in regiments in making his call for
lay readers.
II propose TO call on the laity, as
far as l can," said Bishop Greer, TO
take the places OF the rectors and
clergy in the churches. This Is day
when we are called upon to do the
unexpected thing, and we must do 1t.
A similar course will be followed
by other denominations throughout
the country.

Miss Mariane Browning. of this city.
shed new light on the cause of the
act when a note to Miss Blanche
Reardon, OF Flagstaff. Ariz.. was
found. ending with the Latin phrase
Vac victi' (woe to the vanquished).
II was also brought out that he had
sent a message to Miss Reardon only
last Saturday.
Before the tragedy Miss Browning
had written to the young lady con-
cerning duPont's health, and on the
day DUPONT killed himself Miss
Browning received a reply to the
letter thanking her for the interest

CONGRESS MAYT

TO MEET CRISIS

pressed in the extra session along
with war measures, although by no
means a war measure in the ordinary
sense. Rather this proposed legisla.
tion pertains to the expected condi.
tions in the after-the-war period.
While the appropriations on ac.
count OF the war in the next session
OF Congress will be enormous, and
there is little telling now what they
will mount up to, there will also be
the regular appropriation bills to be
considered.
Regular Appropriations Heavy.
The appropriations for all the de-
partments will have TO be made.
These will be heavy, partly because
each department, and not the War
and Navy departments alone, has
some added burden due to the war.
Most OF the departments have added
largely to their list of employees.
These will be cared for in the legis.
lative, executive, and judicial bill. A
disposition to scrutinize closely and
pare to the limit the appropriations
for the departments for ordinary puT-
poses is developing.
One thing which will contribute to
this is the fact a political campaign
will be- ~once more approaching when
a new Congress must be elected Many
preliminaries of the 1918 campaign
will be staged in Congress next win
ter.
Many members are watching mar
rowly what the food administration
is accomplishing, what the fuel ad-
ministration is doing, and whether
the War and Navy Departments and
the shipping board are driving ahead
