TRIP TO LOWER RANDOLPH,

TRIP TO LOWER RANDOLPH.
The editor and family spent Sun
day at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. S.
r. Pell at Spokane, in the lower part
fof Randolph county. The trip was
made by Asheboro and Mofitt's
Mill, arriving at 10 o'clock. Leaving
IN the evening at 7 O'Clock the re-
turn trip of As miles was made in
two hours and ten minutes. There
is good sand-clay road all the way
except the two and half miles
from Mofitt's Mill to Spokane and
this road will be put in order soon.
The road from Asheboro winds
around the mountains and is very
scenic route-an almost continuous
up and down hill proposition nearly
all the way with plenty of curves,
although most of the grades are not
steep. Along the route you pass
good farms and homes and conse-
quently prosperous farmers. At Mof-
fits Mill is the old home place of
Hugh A. aud Alpheus Mof6tt of this
city and is a prosperous section.
Less than three miles below is the
Spokane neighborhood, inhabited by
former citizens of the Pilot Noun
tain section who come to Randolph
county to raise better tobacco and
other crops. These farmers are known
to that section as the tobacco rails
ers," very little tobacco being raised
thereabouts until these gentlemen
from Surry county located there.
Besides the family Of. S. F. Pell
living in the immediate neiehbor-
hood are the Chiffon and Essup fam
lilies, while two miles away lives an.
other PeIl family, brother of S. F.,
who up to short while ago lived
on the adjoining farm. All are pros
porous farmers.
Mr.. >Pell took us over his farm,
among the corn, tobacco and potato
patches. His tobacco averages him
about $4,000 to the, acre, almost
double that raised on the average
land, while his corn will bring some
SO bushels to the acre without any
great amount of extra care. Vel
never saw better tobacco and corn
and Mr.: Pell knows how to cure his
tobacco too as samples in this Office
WiE1ssshow any one interested. He
believes in the Old adage what is
worth doing is worth doing well" !"
Instead of trying to cover so much
territory Mr.. Pell plants. or soWs
only what he can give careful atten-
ton and the result is the best posi-
BILE yields from a given number of
acres. The first sweet potatoes we
have seen this year were on the ta-
bic sunday and they were nice ones.
too. The good wife insisted on Civ
ing us sack of the sweets to bring
home.
Mr.. Pell says Randolph county is
a great grain county, especially
wheat and corn and no better for to-
bacco. He and his family are happy
and contented in their new home,
which consists of Mr.. and Mrs. Pell
and daughter, Leila. The other girls
and boys have left home. Miss
Sonia at Charlotte, Miss Elmer at
Greensboro, Mrs Maude Jones at
King and the boys in other
States. Visiting Sunday were the
family of the Rev. Mr.. Denny, a
Primitive Baptist preacher of Char
lotte, who is related to the Pell and
Chiffon families; also Miss Chiffon,
a neighbor. Mrs. Jones is expected
this week for visit.
A very fine dinner and supper
were served by these good people
and it was a genuine pleasure to
spend the day with them.

ly. The sample copy shows that prac-
tically every question of interest to
the government in ascertaining the
eligible candidates fitness is asked.
There are 16 pages, constituting a
lengthy and detailed document, which
covers every phase of eligibility, in
cluding health, religion. occupation,
military experiences, with dozens of
questions under each head. There
are also many affidavits to be filled
out by witnesses, physicians and Of
ficers.
The board is instructed to mail a
copy Of the QUESTIONABLE to each per-
son registered under the draft laws
as soon as the full supply is received
and the registrant is then given seven
days to answer the questions and re-
turn the form to the government.

Hospital Supplies
Hard to Secure

DR.. F. G. Swedenburg, while on
business in California last Saturday,
purchased twelve quarts of Old Her.
mitage whiskey and three gallons of
port wine for use at the Granite Citv
hospital. The supply purchased be-
fore the bone dry law went into eff
feet was exhausted and the doctor
expected the new purchase to last for
year or so. Coming over the Siski-
yous, however, DR.. Swedenburg
struck the Oregon line and Sheriff
Ralph G. Jennings simultaneously,
The latter was on the spot to over
haul cars suspected of carrying con-
traband liquor into the dry state. DR..
Swedenburg informed the sheriff as
to the nature of his load and the pur-
pose for which it was purchased, but
according to Sheriff Jennings the sit
uation was technical violation of
the law, although in cases of this sort
was necessary, and therefore necessi-
tated the penalty of the minimum
fine, which the doctor paid to Justice
of the Peace L. j. Trefren.

City Council In
Session Tuesday

The city council met in regular ses-
sion Tuesday night and transacted
business of Importance needing the
councils attention.
A communication was read from
William L. Paul, special auditor and
adjuster of the Fidelity and Deposit
Company Of Baltimore, Md, suggest
ing that the city of Ashland take out
the hold-up and safe burglary insur-
ance on the recorders office, and the
clerks in the office be bonded in the
sum of $1,000 each on and after Jan
uary /, 1918. After some discussion
1t was decided that the insurance as
referred to was unnecessary, but that
the clerks in the office be bonded.
The council ordered the street COM
missioner to instruct the property
owners on the east side of Fifth street
from Main 10 B to remove the old
board sidewalk and replace same with
granite or cement walk.

Y. M. e. A. Fund
0verSubScribed

Portland and the state outside that
city have substantially oversub bscrib-
ed their quotas to the Y. M. G. A.
war fund drive, maintaining the
hight standard set at every previous
call for patriotic service in men or
dollars. The drive came to tri-
umphant conclusion Monday morn
ing with a total of $20S,000 sub
scribed for Portland and $122,021
for the state outside of Portland.
Definite figures for the state have
not been received yet, as many dis
tant districts must report before the
final tally. It is thought by state
headquarters workers, however, that
Oregon, outside of Portland, will
largely oversubscribe its quota Of
100000. Opinions vary as to how
much the surplus will be, but it is
believed that the surplus state will
exceed $3.50, 900 if the ratio of Mon
days returns is maintained.

Talent May Secure
New Industry

r. w. McKie of Medford is instru-
mental in the organization of a new
industry for the Rogue River valley
to be known as the Farmers Cooper
ative Creamery. Negotiations are be-
ing made to locate the new project at
Talent. where Mr.. McKie has been
looking over the field preparatory to
finding suitable location and inter-
esting the people of that vicinity in
the enterprise. The creamery will
be capitalized at $4,000, and shares
of $50 will be sold, with not more
than $500 to each individual.
Mr.. McKie was formerly manager
of the White Velvet Ice Cream Com
pany of Medford, which recently went
out of business, and in order to inter-
est people in that locality in the pro-
posed creamery special arrangements
will be made whereby credit will be
given on shares for the full value of
stock to all creditors of the White
Velvet company. Also 25 per cent in
cream checks will be allowed each
month to all stockholders not having
ready money to invest until the stock
is paid for.

Germans Hurled Back to Last
Trench Of the Hindenburg Line

The great Hindenburg defense line,
upon which the German commander
in-chief had builded his hopes Of
holding the British from inroads into
the open territory beyond, has been
smashed. And the task apparently
was an easy one.
Attacking over a front of 32 miles,
extending from the Scarpe river east
of Arras to st. Quentin, Field Mar
shall Haig, with his English, Irish,
Scotch and Welsh troops, has made
one of the most rapid and spectacu-
lar drives of the war, catching the
Germans completely by surprise, cap
turing numerous positions which
were regarded as impregnable and
numerous guns. The apex of the Of
fensive apparently is centered on the
important railway junction of Cam
brai, midway between Arras and St..
Quentin. Here, having taken the
towns of Marcoing, Anneux, Grain
court and Novelties, the victorious
troops, at last accounts, were near
ing Cambria. with its railroad lines
and roadwsys branching out toward
all the main points Of the compass.
The latest advices indicate that
the British have not yet ceased their
attack, but with monster tanks lead
ing the way, followed by infantry
and machine gun detachments, are
pressing forward for further con-
quest.
Synchronously, to the south,
around st. Quentin, and east of that

Rate Reduction
Case to Be Heard

The case of the klamath CONNER
cial Club against the Southern Pacific
railroad is to be heard at klamath
Falls December II. The hearing will
be held before Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Gerry. This case fol-
lows a long litigation for the reduc-
tion of class freight rates instituted
by the business men in klamath Falls
through the firm of Bishop & Bahler,
freight rate attorneys of San Fran
cisco.
A year ago the business men of
klamath Falls, through the klamath
Commercial Club and Business Mems
Association, commenced action at San
Francisco for an alleged discrimina-
tion of class rates over the branch
line from Weed to klamath Falls. At
the hearing the rates were ordered
reduced, and the Southern Pacific
made several moves to have the ver-
dict set aside. AS the matter was de-
cided before the California State
Commission, its Jurisdiction only ex-
tended to the state line, and the rail-
road company refused to grant pro-
portionate rates into Oregon.

Safety First Say
Traffic Officers

Owing to the number of automo-
bile accidents which have occurred in
this city recently, a safety first"
campaign has been inaugurated by
the traffic officers. A final warning
that all violators would be fined and
given the limit was issued and pub
lished several days ago. Since that
time over twenty individuals, includ-
ing some city officials, have appeared
in the city recorders office with Chief
Hatcher and shown the error of his
ways. He either gets his share Of
censure and warning or is hit to the
tune of s. and walks out sadder but
wiser, vowing to file complaint on
the next fellow he catches, ETC., etc.

Work On Highway
Ended for Season

L. L. Clark, assistant highway en-
gineer from Salem, arrived in this
city Tuesday and went out over the
siskiyous Wednesday to attend to the
matter Of storing the machinery
which was used in the construction
work on the highway, the road work
having been completed for the sea-
son. Mr.. Clark states that owing to
the scarcity of labor and to the fact
that they got started so late in the
season they were unable to accom-
plish as much as was contemplated.
However six and one-half miles were
finished in two months. This is of
crushed rock six inches deep and 16
feet wide.

Red Cross Denies
Origin Of Letters

Numerous reports of endless chain
letters have been made recently, al
legged to have come from Red Cross
headquarters to raise money to fur
ther their cause. The national head
quarters has again been compelled to
send out warning that the organ
ization has absolutely nothing to do
with any endless chain letter appeals,
and asks all chapters to frown upon
any such methods. Not long ago an
endless chain appeal for anaesthetics
for the army's use received quite lib
eral support in this and neighboring
counties and was later proven to be
a fraud.

NUMBER SO
Asserts Sargent
Ablest Strategist

Edward B. Clark Of the staff OF
the Chicago Post is the author of an
article concerning Major H. H. Sar-
gent, formerly of Medford, military
instructor at Princeton University,
who, Mr., Clark claims, possesses
strategic genius sufficient to solve
the allied problems. Mr.. Clark says:l
why is the war department all
lowing the ablest American strategist
to remain in the semi-obscurity Of
Princeton University In this day when
the need of man and a plan Is a
matter of world concern? Army Of
ficers of high rank must have been
asking themselves this question ever
since the war broke out, and It Is
known definitely that civilians with
knowledge OF military matters have
been curious concerning the reasons
for the isolation Of this proved stu
dent of warfare.
Major Herbert Howard Sargent,
United States army (retired), is to-
day teaching the student body at
Princeton, while, according to ex-
pressed thought on the matter In
Washington, he ought to be either In
the war college as an advisory chief
or in the field as a maior-general.
The war department doe snot discuss
its secrets and II may be, of course,
that Sargent has not been entirely
overlooked in the search for men
who may have within them the quail
ties of great planning"
Major Sargent retired from mili+
tary service some years ago because
Of disability incurred In line of duty,
but is in good health at present and
Tit for service. He is the author Of
"Napoleon's First Campaign" The
Campaign Of Marengo," "The Cam+
paign of Santiago de Cuba" and oth4
er strategical and scientific works.

County Prosecutor
Will Enforce Law

County Prosecutor Roberts has is
sued warning stating that he Is
going to make special effort to en-
force the anti1cigarette selling and
smoking law as pertaining to minors.
The law prohibits any minor from
smoking cigarettes or having them in
his possession. The penalty is SIS
fine. The law also prohibits tobacco
dealers from selling cigarettes to
minors or allow minors to smoke
cigarettes in their place of business,
and provides heavy penalty for vio-
lation.

point, in the Aisne region, the French
have begun an offensive. 1t doubt
less has the object of pushing back
the Germans eastward in the former
sector and northward in the latter
region toward Laon, strategic moves
which, if successful, doubtless would
compel that part of the German line
north of st. Quentin, which is still
intact, to fall back eastward.
The British drive was begun with
out the usual artillery prelude, and
as the tanks and infantrymen made
their way through the wire entangle-
ments and pressed into the German
first positions, the surprised enemy
began sending up myriads Of signal
rockets, calling for assistance
Whether aid was rushed up is not
definitely known, but seemingly the
surprised Germans fled in disorder
leaving all kinds of equipment behind
and, in most cases, did not even take
time, as is usual, to apply the torch
to villages they evacuated.
The British casualties were light,
while German dead covered the
ground. Reports indicate that the
depth of the penetration in the re-
gion of Cambria has exceeded five
miles and that at one point, at least
the troops swept on five miles beyond
the German lines, capturing addition
al villages. The offensive was under
direct command Of General Sir Julian
Hedworth Byng, and General John J..
Pershing, American commander, was
an interested observer.
