At Rest

On the morning of Aug. 4th. the silent messenger came to gather His jewel, lent to earth The soul of sweet, loving, beloved little Marg grette, child of Darce and Lena Booe, was borne from earth to heaven for the Savior, who loved little children here on earth has promised that of such is His kingdom.
 Patient, obedient, always. she was doubly so during her last hours of pain and her going away left us sad hearted but with the glorious hope that we meet her where partings are nL more.
 Sweet darling, the light of home is darkened just now. but in thy brightness and purity we feel that We shall one day hear you sing the songs you loved here on earth: six years full of love and happiness you gave us. how we miss you, and will tell in tones of love how every word ev cry deed of love that was yours will be cherished in the hearts that love you. We are chastened and purified by such lives. and yet ask, Why, Oh. God why should she go"
 Softly the answer falls to ach- ing hearts.
 Nay, ask not for my reasons now. Nor doubt what 1 shall tell Safe are thou jewels evermore.
 And with myself 'tis we'll, If thou can'st mee sly give them up. Nor murmer at the rod,
 Fret not, o. wayward soul be still, And know that 1 am God.
 And as such he will heal all wounds and bind broken hearts.
 Bro. House spoke tenderly. lovingly of her life here. then she was laid to rest in Walters Chapel cemetery where loving hands will plant fair flowers above her beloved dust knowing the Spirit is safe with God. | Aunt Lillian

Arkansas Needs Three Hundred Thou sand Hogs for Our Army and Our
 Allies

Help increase hog production in Arkansas by providing winter forage crops. The corn crop is short. Therefore we must turn our attention to other crops suit able for winter grazing. Rape, wheat, oats, rye CT barley make good winter rations for hogs. Sow rapeln September. Prepare the ground as though for turnips. Seed broadcast at the rate of 6 lbs per acre. or 3 lbs per acre when seeded with rye or oats.
 Sow in drills at the rate of 3 lbs Eper acre, and blow twice. One acre of good rape will support 12 to 25 hogs weighing 5 to 100 lbs for 90 days. Corn and corn alone will not be profitable. Pas
 ture and pasture alone will not be profitable. Provide both and you have a splendid com bination.

her first milestone in the War.

the postoffices in March were

healthy increase, there must be

THE students of Yale University
gave Secretary of the Navy Jose
plus Daniels an ovation last
Thursday, the like of which was
never before seen in, that great
educational center. Secretary
Daniels spoke in behalf of the
Liberty Bonds.
It's very gratifying to his North
Carolina friends to note the al
most complete reversal of the
esteem in which he is held
throughout the country. Only a
little while ago he was being
maligned and severely criticised
as being a dreamer, an impracti-
cal man and only a country
editor" But now the country is
recognizing Mr.. Daniels true
worth; he has justified himself,
and has lived to see his name
made secure in history.
When President Wilson called
him from the editorship of the
News & Observer and appointed
him Secretary of the Navy, Mr..
Daniels went at once to his task.
He instituted reforms; he mapped
out new policies, he shattered
tradition; he democratized the
navy department; established
schools on board ship for those
whowereeducationally
he abolished the wine mess.
Because he became an active
Secretary instead of a nonentity
he was roundly abused far and
near. But this far-seeing "coun-
try editor" has come into his own;
the Navy is the most efficient we
have ever had; the Navalmachin-
cry running smoother. And now
his home folksare proud to know
that his conspicuous successes
are RANKING him as one of the
ablest Of the Administration, and
the ablest of all previous Navy
Secretaries.

Thursday. 1t is the same size of
the Hamlet Messenger, and, like

states that the paper will be

both the News and Messenger
the best of luck.

THE United States Census Blu,
reau upon the latest data gives
the following computation for
North Carolina of the relative
number of white and colored men
and women:
Number of white men 1856, 900,
colored men 146,OO0, majority Of
white men 211, 900.
Number of white women, 258
600, colored women $4,000, ma
jority Of white women 2O4, 900.
The fact that the negro women
outnumber the negro men is
probably accounted for by the
fact that so many colored men
have gone North to work, they

ing their families at home.

THE Post-Dispatch has hearc

THE POST Dispatch has heard
no word from the Richmond
County Fair management for the
Fair this Fall, but we presume Of
course the Fair will be held and
on a larger scale than ever. Pre-.
parations should now be making
in every department of the coun.
tvs life for the coming Fall Fair.
1t is true the country is under a
great strain because of war and
war conditions, but even so we
cannot afford to weaken in our
efforts toward the very best OBJ.
tainable in every line of industry.
Constant improvement is the
watchword for every ambitious
citizen. The Fair should be the
goal, the climax. Competition,
recognition and wide publicity
inevitably result in improvement,
hence the value of the Fair. So
don't relax your efforts toward a
better Fair this Fall; it will return
more for the investment than
any other undertaking you can
engage in.

A Roman Generals Opinion
Of Military Critics

/, THERE is a class of Told You
|; Sos in almost every community.
i A class of know-alls. A class
| who, possibly unwittingly, are
doing the Kaiser's bidding by
kicking against the existing order
Iof things. Such a one is DR..
Alexander, the so-called head"
of the Farmers Union. And yet
he is not such a one because he
lis doing his obstruction work
willfully. AS Mayor McNinch,
of Charlotte, stated in his speech
in the Rockingham opera house
last Sunday: He that is not with
us is against u.s. The Govern
ment is asking our people to
subscribe to the best investment
on earth the Third Liberty Loan
bonds. And yet here is the in
famous Alexander, traitorously
and shamlessly, saying that the
money should not be raised in
this method, and thus trying to
block the efforts of genuine
Americans to sell the bonds.
And speaking of kickers calls
to mind the scorching speech de-
livered by Lucius Aemilius
Paulus, a Roman Consul, who
had been selected to conduct the
war with the Macedonians, B. c.
1913, and who went out from the
Senate-house into the assembly
of the people and addressed them
as follows: Givy, Book Xiv,
Chapter 22)
I'm every circle, and, truly, at
every table, there are people who
lead armies into Macedonia; who
know where the camp ought to
be placed; what posts ought to
be occupied by troops; when and
through what pass Macedonia
should be entered; where maya
zines should be formed; how
provisions should be conveyed
byiandand sea: and when it is
proper to engage the enemy,
when to lie quiet. And they not
only determine what is best to be
done, but if any thing is done in
any other manner than what
they have pointed out, they ar
raign the consul, as if he were on
his trial. These are great inn
pediments to those who have the
management of affairs; for every
one cannot encounter injurious
reports with the same constancy
and frmress OF mind as Fablus
did, who chose to let his own
authority be diminished through
the folly of the people, rather
than to mismanage the public |
business with a high reputation.
l am not one of those who think
that commanders ought never to
receive advice; on the contrary,
l should deem that man more
proud than wise, who did every
thing of his own single judgment.
What then is my opinion? That
commanders should be counselled
chiefly, by persons of known tai
ent; by those especially, who are
skilled ! in the art Of war who
have been taught by experience;
and next, by those who are
present at the scene of action,
who see the country, who see the
enemy, who see the advantages
that occasions offer, and who,
embarked, as it were, in the same
ship, are sharers of the danger.
If, therefore, any one thinks
himself qualified to give advise
respecting the war which am tol
