WASHINGTON, Sept. 21-The gov ernment is making an amazing series of disclosures concerning the plans and activities, the secrets obtained from secret Russian documents which have come into the hands of the al lied agents.

CARD FROM PROF. HENDoN, PRINCIPAL
ST. JOSEPH HIGH SCHOOL.

To the Patrons of the st. Joseph High
school:
As Supt. Wade has previously an
nounced the High School will begin
the next sessions work at nine .. m.
next Monday the 9th inst. All inter-
ested patrons are cordially invited to
be present ct that hour. Notwith-
standing the lack of an auditorium or
q room sufficiently large to accommo.
date all the school and the patrons,
we shall try to make it comfortable
and interesting for all who come.
1t is very important that all the pu-
pills be present for enrolment the first
day, so that no time shall be lost in
organizing the classes and arranging
the schedule of recitations. Every
pupil should bring the report given
him at the close of last session indi-
eating his promotion or the grade to
which he belongs. Miss Anne Towles
of West Felicisns parish has been Sc
cured for the high school assistant
and will be present, 30 there will re
no necessity for emitting any Of the
work. The pupils should not buy any
new books until told to do SO by their
teachers.
We expect the cooperation of the
parents of the children, without which
1t will be impossible for our efforts to
be successful, and hope they will real
ize that their cooperation can be
most effectively manifested by csus-
ing their children to be punctual and
regular in their attendance and re-
curing them to study at home. Below
the fifth grade very little home study
is needed, but above that grade the
amount of home study required in
creases As the grades advance. The
pupils that failed i'm any of their
studies last year will be required to
take those again, giving them the
preference when the schedule causes
conflicts. This will disappoint some
pupils who will not be able to take
the advanced subject In case of con-
flict, but 1t is unavoidable and should
serve as a stimulus to all the high
school students and cause them to do
all in their power to keep them from
failing in any subject.
My family and are pleased with
what we have seen of the charming
little town and it's people and hope
that our stay here will be of long
duration and mutually profitable and
pleasant to the community and our
selves.
Very sincerely,
A. M. HENDON,
Principal st. Joseph High School.

WINGATE FARMERS
BUSINESS UNION
(Marshville Home)

The organized farmers of Win
gate community have followed the
example of Lanes Creek and Trinity
last spring and withdrawn from AL
exanders political union. Wingate
sent a delegate to Wilson. He lis
tened, heard and saw enough at
Wilson to make him enthusiastical-
ly in favor of sending no more cam
ypaign funds to promote the Alex
ander State political union. And
after he made his report at regu-
lar meeting of Wingate Local Union
Saturday night, this organization,
which consists of about fifty men,
bers, passed the following resolu-
tions:
Whereas, the State president,
after bringing cloud Of shame in
1917 over the Farmers Union has
again secured his reelection thro'
political manipulators, therefore be
1t resolved by Wingate Local Union,
1. That we organize ourselves in
to Wingate Farmers Business I'm
ion and retain for the present in our
local organization all moneys de-
rived from the payment of dues
2. That we express our willing
ness to federate with other inde-
pendent unions or clubs and to sup
port county or distdct unions il ii
shall be deemed desirable to main
tain larger representative organiza-
tions.

Wilson's Views on Freedom of the
Seas.

Paris, Dec. 81. President Wilson, in
an interview given to the correspon-
dent of the London Tihes, is reported
to have stated his views on the dis
cussion of the freeom of the seas
and to have contrasted the evils of
the Vienna congress with a hopeful
outlook for the Versailles congress.
Lord Northcliffe, editor of the
London Times, has given The AS
sociated Press copy Of the inter-
view, from which the following ex-
tracts have been made:
The congress of Vienna, the cor
respondent says, President Wilson
told him, was congress of "Bosses. I"
The delegates were concerned more
with their own interests and the
classes they represented than the
wishes of their peoples.
Versailles, as President Wilson
said" the interviewer continues,
must be meeting place Of the SER
wants of the pepoles represented by
delegates,

FUTURE OF U-BOATS

Washington, Dec. 21.-Army and
navy officials here believe that the
uses to which two weapons which
figures so largely in the world con-
may be put in future wars will be
sharply limited by international
agreement evolved at the peace eoa-
ference.
These questions have been under
discussion in military circles siAse
the end of hostilities but there is no
definite information as to what sug-
gestions the American peace confer
ence. There appears to be substan-
tial agreement among officers, how
ever, that future operations of sub
marines to be confined strictly
against warships.
AS to aircraft, officers say that IN
seeking to make certain that civil
populations are never again sVh
jected to such outrages as have been
committed by German airmen. It
may well be that the flying army
hereafter will be restricted exclR-
sively to obstruction work and to
such attacks upon troops as ma
chine gun or similar armament
woud permit.
The submarine problem appar-
emily attaracts the greatest atten-
ton. There is reason to believe
that the navy general board would
not favor proposals that use of sub
marines in any form be abandoned
entirely. Navy officers, however,
favor prohibition of the use OF their
craft against any but warships, as
that would mean the end of sub
marine blockades, and they regard
this as one of the most practical ell
ements to be dealt with in discus
sions Of freedom Of the seas.

1000 MILE VOYAGE
1900 MILE VOYAGE

Washington, D, c., Dec. 21.-The
concrete ship builders at Whining
ton, N. C. and the adherents Of this
type of vessel construction will be
interested in the views of Califor-
MIA as to the future of concrete ship
construction.
"All the hopes and expectations
OF the advocates of concrete ships
seem to have been fulfilled by the
IL 900 mile voyage off the Faith,
the first concrete vessel Of consider
able tonnage in this country" says
Captain Thomas Hope, of San Fran
cisco.
II saw the Faith when she was in
the early stages of constructor and
when she was launched, and natur-
ally | was curious to find how she
would stand the rigors of the sea.
l saw her again a short time ago
in New York, and l was greatly i'm
pressed She had gone through
gales and all sorts Of weather, yet
apparently was as staunch as the
day when she slid from the ways in
to the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
1T is my judgment concrete ships
will eb the ships Of the future. The
only problem that has to be over
come, in my opinion, is that OF
that of tonnage l do not know
how large concrete ships can be
built"
A government newspaper, edited
jointly by representatives from the
Democratic and Republican parties,
is the latest idea championed by
Hon. William j. Bryan, of Ashevlile.
The newspaper would give the pro-
ceedings of Congress, the principal
events at the National Capital, and
otherwise serve the purpose Of a
truly representative mirror of hap
penings here,
Majority Leader Claude Kitchin,
of North Carolina, has been request
ed to father theidea in Congress.
1.-The suggestion for a government
paper is an excellent idea and most
favorably impresses me- says Rep
resentative Kitchin. But the diff
ficulty we will have at the short
session is that we are so rushed
with the appropriation bills and
revenue bill that Congress will haro
ly have time to consider it. 1t is

A TERRIBLE
AUTO ACCIDENT
Three People Dead as the ReF
suit of Train Crashing
Into Car
NORFOLK SOUTHERN r. r.
NORFOLK SOUTHERN R. r.

Sometime about midnight last
night a terrible and fatal accident
occurred at the TarbOro street
crossing Of the Norfolk & Southern
railroad when the eastbound 1880
train while backing out from the
station to continue its course to-
wards Norfolk ran into an automo-
bile, the property Of Mrs. J. T. Flow
ers who lives about six miles west
Of this city. AS result Mrs. j. T.
Flowers, her daughter Laura and
her son-in-law, Mr.. Harvey Harrison
all the occupants Of the car are dead
the train striking the machine about
the front wheels smashing it to
pieces, grinding it up and dragging
it about fifty yards, while the bodies
Of the occupants OF the car are badly
mangled and broken.
Mrs. Flowers and Mr.. Harrison
came to Wilson yesterday morning
and took the ten O'Clock train for
Raleigh where they met Miss Lau-
ra who has been away to school, in
order to meet hr and accompany her
home for the holidays. They met
her in Raleigh and took the same
train out of Raleigh last night about
$3.50 which caused their death. Ar
irving in Wilson they secured their
car and started for home and in the
meantime the train had unloaded its
passengers and freight and started
on its trip with above disastrous re-
suits.
Mrs. Flowers is the widow of the
late John T. Flowers and is highly
esteemed by all who know her. Since
the death of her husband she has
managed his business in such a way
as to add greatly to what he left.
She has paid off all his debts and he
left many on account of the large
purchase of land.
She leaves several children, one
of them the wife of Mr.. Harrison
who was killed. The bodies were
taken to local hospital. Mrs.
Flowers and her daughter died with
in an hour after being taken to the
hospital, while Mr.. Harrison lived
about five hours. All were conscious
up until the time of their death.
The remains were taken to their
late home this morning and the in
terment will be made tomorrow af-
ternoon. 1t is probable that Elder
Geo. W. Boswell will conduct the
funeral services.
The circumstances is more than
sad because Mrs. Flowers leaves at
hr home two little boys about and
ten years Of age.

German Revolution Financed from
Russia.

Berlin, Dec. 21.-The question as
to wether the German revolution was
financed from Russia is agitating
political circles, the inference being
that the Independent Socialists have
received large sums of monye from
Russia. The Berlin papers say a
wireless message has been received
from Adolph Joffree the Bolsheviki
representative In Berlin sent to Rich
ard Barth and Hugo Hasse of the
German ultra radical parties, saying
that while Joffree had not actually
paid any money yet they knew where
the funds came from.
