want all the people back home to
know that every man from Wa
tauga is doing his best. You can
tell ::one as far you can see him;
they all carry the old Watauga
smile.
We all have plenty OF clothing,
and all other equipments neces-
sary. Several of the boys already
have been promoted, and are ma
king good. The climate is fine
here. We have been having frosts
for about a month, but no snow
has yet fallen.
The camp is now quarantined
for measels, although the disease
is in a very mild | orm. The sol
dier boys call it military mea-
sells. The quarantine will soon be
lifted and we will then be per-
mitted to crowd the streets of
Gpenville again. The conditions
are by no means alarming, but
simple, and all for our good. In
the meantime the Y. NJ. C. A.
buildings are closed to crowds,
but they serve the men through
windows with stationery, maga.
zines and other reading matter.
On Thanksgiving day a great
number OF men spent their first
Thanksgiving day in the army,
and we could not have asked for
u better time. Thousands of
pounds of the national BIRD
was furnished to the camp. Cele-
ry, cranberry sauce, plum pud'
ding, mashed potatoes and 9th.
er things were furnished to each
and every soldier. Almost every
soldier was remembered by home
folks, friends, or sweet hearts
with a package the day before
Thanksgiving. We thank them
About forty per cent OF the men
in camps were permitted to en-
Joy the day with home folks and
friends, but the knife, fork ant
spoon we're used in full sway by
everym who remained in camp

Nebuchadnezzar's Claim to Fame.

Babylon is dust and cities of Edcn's plains are heaps of dust. With these Ities to oblivion went a long line of lllustrious kings, mighty warriors who left inscriptions of t.ibal wars, which they fondly fancied had shaken the dome of heaven. But the only Baby ionian king whose fame grows brighter With the lapse of centuries is Nebuchad- nezzar. whose claim to glory rests not upon prowess in international hrawls. but upon marshaling md directing the greatest, most practical building force that his time knew. Other kings caused tablets to be reared telling Of the thousands they had shin. Nebu- thadnezzar stamped upon bricks the pregnant fnst that he built as no kip9 sveY built before.

TRIAL OF NEGRO MAN
 AGAIN POSTPONED

The trial of Will Can't, negro, who is charged with grand larceny, was continued yesterday until Wednesday morning, at which time it will be held in the court of Justice of the Peace Gabe Meyer.
 According to Constable Clint C.. Green, Can't, who was arrested Sun day night, confessed yesterday to hay ing stolen a cow near Fairfield last Saturday night. It is said that Can't was hunting in the neighborhood of the Knox plantation near Fairfield Saturday and when he came back to his wagon he found large white cow eating the hay and corn husks in the vehicle, and he promptly put rope on the animal and brought her to his home west of the city. He is said to have confessed to the slaughter of the cow and had the beef in his possession when arrested. Constable Green is still trying to locate the own CT of the COW, but has so far been un- successful.

COTTON CONDITIONS
 NORTH OF RIVER

J. w. Baldwin, deputy sheriff, with Pastoria township as the field of his official duties, reports that the cotton fields in his district are more thor oughly picked of cotton than ever be- fore at this season of the year. Mr. Baldwin says that fully 95 pexaccnt of the crop has been gathered; that the share croppers all have money and that there is spirit of restless ness manifest among the negro hands that bespeaks moving among them in no small numbers. He predicts a general scarcity of labor for the next crop.
 MT. Baldwin has purchased a five seated Ford machine for his personal use. and seven-seated eight-cylinder Oldsmobile for his family.

New York Cotton.

New York, Nov. 23-The cotton market opened steady today at an ad- vance of to II points in response to relatively firm cables and buying by houses with Liverpool connections There were renewed reports of an easier spot basis and freer spot offer ings in the eastern belt, however, and renewed realizing for over the week end largely from Wall street sources. Prices soon eased off in cOnsequence with January selling from 28.42 down to 2S.27 and from 28.0S to 27.95 short ly after the opening. or about to 6 points net lower. Trading interests were buyers at the decline and offer ings tapered off toward the end of the first half hour with prices show ing rallies of few points.
 The early buying by houses with Liverpool and romestic connections left the market virtually here of of ferings and prices advanced sharply later, with December making 8 new high record for the season. A private report estimating the crop at 10,500.- 900 bales excluding linters. was a factor of the advance, which carried the general list about 10 to 20 points net higher. December touched the 0c marOk, while January sold at 28.53 and March 2S.20, or nearly to the high level of yesterday
 All deliveries made new high ground during the early aftrenoon with January selling at 2S.70 and March at 2S.39, or about 35 to 40 points net higher on the general list. Realizing checked the advance at this level and there were reactions of 2 or 8 points.

Wild Anlmals' Fear Acquired.

The fear which all wild nnimais have for man Is m acquired chnrAc- teristic. This is amply shown by the fact that in the far wilds of the Cana dian Rockies. where man is seldom seen, the grouse are so tame that they may be killed with clubs. As William T. Hornaday says, these untutoreS birds seem to have but two Meas--to feed on the ground and fly into loN tree if frightened. A bird with only two ideaA is not long for this world, and the fool hen that loiters along : trail usually finds her way into 2 fry. ing pan. Yet this bird is the western prototype of the wary ruffed grouse of New England, and old chronicles show that shy bird was once so tams that 1t could be caught with 2 horse hair loop on the srd of a long stick.

Manipulating . Blanket.

Learning how to manage blanket that is little short at one end and not quite long enough at the other. with similar deficiencies in width, Is one of the first things the youns sok
 dier should be taught. If he is not taught 1t, he will probably have an ex- perience like that of a western recruit who says that in his first week in camp he lost great deal of sleep at night. When he lay on his back his stomach was cold; when he turned over his back was cold; when he pulled ths blanket up around his shoulders he got cold feet, and when his feet were un- der the blanket his neck was uncom. fortable. A veteran'a recipe may. however, be worth considering. He says the only way to manipulate an army blanket, on a cold night. Is te pull your knees up to your chin, lie face downward, and hold the four cor ners of the blanket in your teeth.- Christian Science Monitor.

Freak Inventions.

There are on file in the patent ofics the strangest, freakiest kinds of in- ventions, which reveal in the most as. founding manner the marvellous and incomprehensible workings of the hu- man brain. If, as some wit remarked, genius is a form of insanity" a visit to the patent office will furnish abun- dant evidence of the truth of this as- sertion. However that may be, one explanation of some of the freak de. vices and appliances that have been invented and patented may, evidently, be fou1d in the statement that tue en- thusiasm of these inventors kept then trom thtnking.-Exchange.

JOUR- TOTAL BANKING RESOURCES
ARE TWO BILLION DOLLARS MORE
THAN DOUBLE THE AGGREGATE
RESOURCES OF ALL THE GREAT
BANKS OF ISSUE In THE WORLD

An account of the recent growth Of
the United States in financial or hank.
ing power reads more like fairy tale
than a sober recital of fact.
The national banks at SIS, $780, 00,-
900 have increased their resources by
over 35 per cent in two years. They
have more than doubled their resourc-
es within ten years. The number of
their depositors at 14,300,OOO has in
creased sc per cent within six years,
says the New York World.
But this is only half the story. While
national banks number 1879, there
are some 10000 other banks to be con-
sidered. The total resources of both
national and state banks are $32 ,300,-
100000, or about double what they
were ten years ago and 20 per cent
more than just before the European
war broke out. Their cash on hand is
almost $2,O0O,O00,0OO, and the greater
part of this is in gold.
But these figures of growth call for
a wider comparison to bring out their
wonderful magnitude. As the comp

rives monthly from European ports.
Of the 48,OO0,O0O tons of merchant
ships in the world Great Britain owns
about 20,0O0,0O0 tons. The United
States is second with a little more
than 100000 tons, of which 100000
tons is in lake and river trade. In
American ports there are ninety-five
German merchant vessels of 100000
tonnage which put in for haven at the
outbreak of the war.
