Increase ........... "a.

Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly In hogs; they
were probably less The increase In
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight Of animals added by
our farmers.
The full effect of these efforts began
to bear their best results in the last
half of the fiscal year. when the ex-
ports to the Allies were 2,133. 100, 900

Knowing the personnel of the

that their paper stands for fairness
and truth, we beg pardon for having
to refer to the article in their paper
of July Is under the signature Of
Messrs Bransford and Noblin, in
which they state one John Taylor sold
tobacco on Thursday of last week in
Fairmont at 25c the pound and on
Friday the next day portion of this
same curing was sold by them for
BIC the pound, making difference #
12c in favor of their market.
Our records show Mr.. Taylor sold
with US on Thursday 800 pounds of
tobacco for 35c the pound. On the
following Monday Mr.. John Taylor's
father sold tobacco with US and, spoke
of his son having divided his curing
and picked the best end of it for that

Another sentence, if you will pardor
US, which we quote verbatim is
"Those guarantees that some Of oul

Now, this is quite reflection OF

Every true Americans heart has
been made to beat with pride during
the past few days by news from the
west front in France. American SOL
diers had met the enemy before and
had proved to be more than match
for the Hun. But prior to this week
they had taken part in only minor op-
erations, and there was the possibility
that the Germans did not make great
efforts to hold positions taken by
Americans. But Monday Of this week
American troops bore the brunt Of a
major offensive, and they came of
with high honors. This time there is
no question about it, the Huns did
all they knew. In one year the great
est republic on earth has trained sol
diers that are superior to the product
of half century of military training
under the greatest autocratic form OF
government The American has some
thing worth fighting for, worth dieine
for, while the Hun, no matter how
bravely he may fight, and no matter
what he might win for his military
masters, would win nothing but form
of slavery for himself and his chill
dren. Whatever it is, the American
soldier is superior and is there in ever
increasing numbers, and William Ho-
henzollern and his six precious sons
whose hides are whole after fou,
years Of war in which they have sent
millions to their death will get what
is coming to them. There is abso-
lutely no doubt as to the final out.

masters are doomed.

be spent in the county during the

county will have to furnish only half
the amount.

In the form of a report by it's visit
ing committee the State university at
last has recognized what has seemed
plain to many citizens for a long time:
that some statement was due the pub
lie in regard to remarks Prof. Hor-
ace Williams of that institution was
quoted in the Charlotte Observer as
having made shortly after the United
States entered the war. The commit
tee says it made an investigation of
the incident and was so thoroughly
convinced Of Mr.. Williams patriotism
that it did not make it subject in
any report, but it realizes now that
in not publishing it's findings it "has
done him (Mr. Williams) much suf.
fering and much HARM" The com
mittee vouches for the loyalty of Prof
Williams, says that "theH campus has
been a hot bed of patriotism since we
went into the war, and that the facul
ty and students would permit no mer
to stay on the 'Hill' who did not meas
ure up to this standard" Which NJ
doubt every body will accept as true
The committee does not attempt tt
explain Prof. Williams remarks, il
which it is wise. Wise men some
times talk unwisely, and that is wha
Prof. Williams did upon one occasion
and it is as we'll to let it go at that.
