Great interest has been manifested
throughout the state in the canulu-
acy Of the Hon. Robert Patton Hap
good of the city OF Bradford, NC
Kean county. His announcement
came as a surprise 10 all, but each
day shows the growing sentiment III
his favor among the rank and iie
OF the Republican party. Not only
are the Republicans Of the interior
counties of the state tired OF lac-
tionalism and attempts to use the
same for personal vengeance pu'
there are thousands OF Republican
voters in the dominant cltles WIN
share the same strong sentiment
Is there any good reason why the
"up- state" Republicans and counties
should not be given full support ior
a candidate from the northwest sec
tion of the state and from the north-
ern tier of counties? This Is tne
question being asked by those OF the
CITY and the country and no one de-
nies the logic and force OF IT, Inc
northern tier OF counties and the
northwest never had governor from
their section and the interior OF the
state has not been so recoghlzeu
since Governor Hastings. lsnt
about time for the country to lnsist
ON such recognition and thereby IN
sure strong support and UNITY
through the whole state for that SEN
timent, and it would be most surpris-
ing, too, how many Republican voters
in the two or three largest counties
of the state would se only too giau
TO 20 in with such change OF pro-
gram and sentiment.
Philadelphia, Allegheny and ad1oin-
ing counties deserve great things anu
ample recognition, but too much Is
nlenty" and no one will say that they
have not been given all and more tnan
their share, however, unless the he-
publican voters stand together for a
change from that program at least
once in a generation, it VIII never
occur. and particularly now under
the direct primaries instead OF tne
convention system. Why not do 1t
this year and you will be amazed at
the help the big cities will give US
and glad of the opportunity to do so
With the present factional oreach
in our party there is an absolute
menace to the success OF our et-
forts to elect a Republican governor
should either faction prevail at the
primaries. To lose the governor this
wear would do more than anything
else to elect a Democratic president
in 1920, and none would be stronger
therefor than the Democrat VINO
could be elected governor OF Penn
sylvania, carrying with it the dan
ger even of a Democratic United
States senator to be the colleague
of our distinguished Senator Knox,
and all because we Republicans IN
Pennsylvania would not put Repub-
licanism above factionalism, but
would rather sell our birthright fol
a mess of potage.

question, If a man enjoys an in.
come of $40, 600 a year how much
should be given to the wife for
her expenditure?" which to our
way of thinking is a ridiculous
way of putting it. The point is,
how much would the man have
left after the wife took out what
considered her share?

Red Cross Drive
To Be Repeated

The Red Cross drive on Washing
ton county is to be repeated tomor-
row, the weather permitting. The
same speakers that were announced
for last Sunday will fill their appoint
ments at the various places in Wash
ington county. Some will go on the
early train to Jonesboro and get con-
veyances from there, others will drive
through in cars. Great things are be-
ing expected from this drive into
Washington county and it is to be
hoped that these patriotic men, who
have volunteered their services in the
work, will come back feeling that they
have accomplished much good for the
Red Cross.

Conventions Fence Out Troubles For Us
Bv Winifred RIack.

He's married, the great apostle Of
free love. Married by book, bell and
candle, license, priest, bridesmaids,
matron or honor, best man, wedding
journey, old shoes, rice and all.
And just one little year ago he was
standing up on platforms telling peo-
pie that marrige was the only real
slavery left on earth, and that the
only way to freedom was through the
gate of free love.
He made beautiful speeches about
free love, and terrible ones about
marriage.
He said the finest man and the most
beautiful woman in the world were
sure to get tired of each other if they
tied themselves together with a mar
riage ceremony. He said that we'd
ding ring was a great deal worse than
any handcuff that ever was invented,
and he declared that if he had to take
chance between a matrimonial
moose and hangman's rope, he'd
choose the hangman's rope; because
it was sooner over and done with
than the other moose.
He was really quite discouraging
about matrimony.
Love was a fine thing, he said
when it was free love.
It was uplifting and ennobling, and
glorious and beautiful, and enlight-
ening and everything else that was
fine and courageous, and beautiful
and free-oh, it must be free; there
must be no mistake about that! He
said it was ignobIe and brutal, and
narrow and suspicious, to want to tie
the people down to vow and the
keeping of it. And now he's gone and
tied himself and his brand new wife
with the plain, old-fashioned, out
regeous, ridiculous knot of matri-
mony?
What About These?
He says it's all because he never
met the right woman before. Isn't
that interesting?
/ wonder how some of the wrong
women that he did meet before feel
about it.
What an old, old story it is, and
how many different ways there are
to tell it; but they all end alike, and
in the ending there is always the per-
fume of orange blossoms and the
sound of wedding bells.
How strange it is that we never
learn the truth about the conventions
until we try to get along without
them.
/ remember thinking that GER
tain maiden aunt Of mine was dread
fully narrow minded because she
scolded me for talking with strang-
er on sleeping car once.
The stranger was good looking,
comparatively young, and, dear me,
he wore such stunning clothes and
had such perfectly sweet manners!
He was very attentive about the
window and getting the porter and
finding a newsboy, and knowing when
the dining car was open, and how long
we were going to stop at stations, and
when it would be safe to get breath
of fresh air, and ! thought what a
stupid I'd be to miss all kinds of fun
by refusing to talk to him.
But afterwards, when | saw his
picture in the paper and recognized
Slim jim, the pickpocket, as my agree
able travelling companion, ! began to
think that Aunt Julia wasn't always
quite so stupid after all.

London.-First Lieut.. Ira J. Hodes Of

officers he ever knew.
Lieutenant Grey, fearfully wounded
and at the point of death, said:
Don't take me, boys; clean 'em out
first"
By cleaning 'em out" he meant for
them to keep on driving at the Ger
man machine gun nests until they
were abandoned. He did not want to
interrupt the progress on that part of
the line for an instant.
Lieutenant Hodes was wounded in

had been shot during the Spanish
American war.

said, telling of his last engagement.

first on Saturday, August 81. We went
ahead for two and half miles and
took the German second line trench.
Grey Gets Fatal Wound.
"The counter-attack came exactly at
four o'clock. But, of course, it availed
nothing, because we were fully able to
meet it with more than sufficient re-
sistance. Our artillery had full sweep
of the ground over which they moved.
The slaughter was terrible.
"We Jay in the position all that
night, and at seven o'clock in the morn
ing made quick move. We took over
line of shell holes about three hum
dred yards in front of us. Then we
started in to clean up the thick nests

Many of them carried little pistol

small bullet like a twenty-five, but
sprays them out at short range. The
pistols keep on shooting just as long as
you keep your finger pressed on the
trigger. They are good for short range
only. The danger was in this: if you
rounded up two or three or more Ger
mans and ordered them to throw up
their hands, they would, except that
one of them would be little slow. If
you started to lower your gun or pistol
to take them in tow the slow-moving
man suddenly threw out his squirt gun
and opened fire. The safest thing to
do was to take no chances.
''The Germans were doing all sorts
of things that were forbidden by inter-
national code. They did not think any
thing of firing on the stretcher bear
ers, although the men were carefully
marked with white bands on their
arms and were classed as noncom-
batants."

MONEY BURNS POCKETS
Yankee Soldiers Astound French
by Their Spending.
Buy Everything in Sight and Overlook
Nothing-Souvenrs Are Sent
Home.

Paris.-No wonder that American
soldiers astound the French with their
money-spending proclivity. Shops
stocked sufficiently in the ordinary
course Of events to last six months
are frequently cleaned out in a day
when the Yankees arrive. The Amer
Jeans just simply buy everything in
sight.
A bunch Of troops just arriving from
the long Journey overseas, or perhaps
having been shunted around a month
or so after landing, reach a permanent
camp and are paid off. Frequently
they haven't had a pay day in two or
three months.
Then with their pockets full of the
strange francs they go to town and
make up for lost time. They overlook
nothing from Swiss watch to an arm
full of souvenirs to send back home.
But with all the spending and buy
ing 1t is remarkable that there are so
Few cases of drunkenness. The wine
shops are open to the Americans at
certain hours, generally from S 80 to
$3.50 p. m. But the average American
does not like French wine, at least
not at first. French beer has a fat,
weak taste which does not appeal at
all to Americans. There is no whis-
Ky, and even were 1t available the
Americans would not be allowed to
purchase 1t. Cognac is the nearest ap-
prOach to whisky and this must be
obtained by stealth-sort of boot
logging process.
Many thousands of American SOL
diers, disgusted with the light wines
and beers which only. they may pro-
cure, have foresworn booze entirely,

and will be in good trim for the ma
tion-wide prohibition they will face
when they return to the United States.
