Picture Above Of the New $4,000 County Home Completed Last Spring
for Richmond Comtys Aged and nrm. Sketch of the Home
and Names of the q Inmates

The editor at the Post-Dispatch
he'd the privilege Of visiting the
new County Home last Friday
afternoon and inspecting the
buildings and conversing with
the Inmates. The King Daugh-
tiers It the same time served
them with ice cream and cake,
and entertained them with music
from 4 victrola. The Daughters
visit the Home several times dur
ing the year, and always on
Thanksgiving Day serve them a
bounteous turkey dinner. And
the men and women at the Home
enjoyed the visit of the score OF
ladies', and unquestionably a
bright oasis was created in their
nlvle u less LllccI leoo lives.
While it's true the people cared
for there by the county are fed,
clothed and housed, yet eating
and sleeping is not all of life. A
kind word, a friendly handshake,
go long way; and this is after
all a little thing to give. The
Home is only two hundred feet
from the Rockingham-Hamlet
highway, and yet how many OF
our people are ever conslderate
of their fellow-creatures as to
stop for a moment and extend
this cheering word and hand
shake? And how many 60 50
far as to further brighten Their
lives with a bucket of fresh but,
ter-milk, or some tempting NOR
sci? This is no reflection upon
their manner Of food, but we al.
feel grateful for any little atten
tion-and for a bit OF edibles
from away.
A brief history of the County
Home may interest the Post-Dls
patch readers.
At the April term, 1851, OF the
Court of Pleas and Quarter Ses
sions of Richmond county, ar
order was drawn empowering
the Board of Wardens to pur
chase suitable land within flv'
miles of Rockingham, and no
nearer than one and a half miles
for the purpose of erecting there
ON buildings to care for the dge>
and infrm of the county. Tn
order was signed by the Clerk 0
Court, M. L. Douglas. l32 acre
were bought about two mile
from the city, east, and entr
dated October 18th, 1851, is IT
corded on the Register of Deed
book showing that the prope
survey of this land had bee
made by the County Surveyo
w. w. Graham Gather OF N. f
Graham, the present Count
Surveyor.) 1t is presumed tn
buildings were shortly thereafte
erected. About 1870 three acre
of this land were sold to tn
Great Fails Mfg. Co. that the
might use it as a reservoir tC
storing water against the time
drought.
Up until about 1892 the Supe
intendents of the Home wei
paid certain amount for eac
inmate, but after that time, whe
J. A. McNair became superb
tendent, the method was change
and the superintendent was pal
a salary and the expenses pal
by the county. McNair serve
for six years. and was followe
by T. J. Gibson. R. L. McDonal
served for one year and was fc
lowed by Temple Gibson for
year. Dave Sedberry servs

 EASILY BY OKLA.
Other Scores of Important Gridiron Meets of
 Yesterday.

In the last four minutes of play, and with the teams showing fight all the way, the 18th Training Bat talion of Camp Pike executed fast forward pass brought victory to their team ill what promises to he one Of the best games to be played here this season.
 On account of an all night rain the field was soggy and thus slowed up the game to a certain extent, making many of the trick formations of the locals utterly impossible, and the two teams resorted almost entirely to the use of the old reliable forward pass, play that will win or lose a. game in an instant.
 Outweighed by 15 pounds, the local gridiron warriors repeatedly held the doughboys for downs, and they won the respect of their opponents by the unfaltering gameness of the team as a whole. and by their evident skill in detecting the slightest weakness of their opponents. Up to the last four minutes of play the two teams fought vainly for the edge" and most of the fans looked forward to a scoreless tie until the 18th Bat talion toys finally put over one o1 their many attempted passes, and the game closed with the score 7 to 0 with the Zebras on the short end of the scoreboard.
 The soldiers played clean, sports manlike game. never resorting to any of the many dirty tricks of the game
 Collins was the particular star of the game for the Zebras, although Harper at center was a tower of strength, both on defensive and of fensive work, as was Capt. Sorrels. The team as whole showed evidence of careful training and their work promises to be a credit to their own skill and endurance, as well as to the ability of the coach.
 For the soldiers, Martin at half, Red Wilson at end and F'ilgo at full were the best all-round men, while Moreland at half gave great exhi- bition of accurate passing of the ball, displaying an almost uncanny abi lity in judging distances and hurling the ball.
 The line-ups were as follows

Yer Complexion Made Marvelously Beautiful
 In a Single Night Free Oatmeal Prescription Did

New York. Mae Edna Wilder says: Had anyone told me such wonderful results could be accomp- lished so quickly positively would not have believed it.
 My face, neck, hands and arms were covered with freckles, besides many unsightly wrinkles, my neck was dark, skin rough, and my com plexion sallow and muddy, my hands were tanned and the knuckles red. All these defects were removed and one single application proves it. The prescription is just as simple as it is effective. Go to any grocery store and get 10 cents worth of oatmeal and from any drug store bottle of der willo. Put a little of the oatmeal in a small bag made of cheese-cloth, then drop on or into the bag 10 to 20 drops of derwillo, then dip in warm water and use as you would wash cloth.

IRISH TURMOIL
 GROWS LESS UNDER
 PRESENT REGIME
Anti-C Conscription Agitation Relaxes in Face of Delay in Applying Law by
 Governmnnt
By Associated Pres.

Dublin, June 15.-At present there is somewhat of Hull in the political situa- ton in Ireland. Agitation against con- scription has relaxed in the face of the government proclamation calling for vol untary recruits and no attempt to apply the draft is expected before october and then only in the event of conspicuous failure to obtain the necessary number by enlistment.
 rae visit of protest contemplated by
 the lord mayor of Dublin to Presiden, wilson has been definitely postnoned
 He is holding himself in readiness to go to Washington when the occa sion arises put he has no expectation at pres ent that the occasion ever will arise. Suppression of illegal drilling proceeds daily and it is greatly helped by the governments warning that if the drilling continues the counties affected will be declared special military areas.'' The Irish people have been quick to realize that an extension of such areas would greatly facilitate the application of con- scription and advice everywhere is being given to young men to avoid assembling themselves in military formation
 A curious feature of the prosecutions is the number of instances which reveal the fact that the accused have brothers or other relatives, sometimes two or three, now serving in the army in France.
 It is not intended at present to bring to trial the Sim Feiners arrested at Whitsuntide. Their imprisonment IS made regular under the regulations of the defense of the realm act and none of them thus far has taken advantage of the provision which enables him to ap- peal against imprisonment
 The immediate purpose of the govern ment is to make a success of the recruit ing campaign. They are handing 1t over entirely to civilians drawn from all the political parties. Most notable among these workers is Sir Horace Plunkett, chairman of the recent Irish home rule convention at Dublin. Local committees will be formed on this principle in every district.
 Broadly propaganda, hitherto entirely neglected in Ireland, will be undertaken and an attempt will be made by suitable literature to explain to the Irish people the real issues of the war.

American Federation of Labor Committee Talks
 of War Aims of Allies

St. Paul. June 15.-Discussion of the allied war aims late today occupied the attention of the committee on for eign relations of the American Fedora tion of Labor. which is holding it's an- nual convention here
 George L. Berry, member of the American labor mission. which recently reported it's findings to the conven- ton, urged that the war programme of unionists in allied countries be re- jected by the foreign relations com mittee. The plans of European union ists, it is said. embrace the war aims of President Wilson, but go a step farther by providing for meeting with union representatives and social ists of the central powers.
 It was said on good authority that the federations position of refusing to meet representatives of enemy coun- tries would be reaffirmed when the subject is placed before the conven- tion.
 The sessions will be resumed next Monday morning, at which time the committed on adjustment is scheduled to make it's report.

Net Operating Income of Railroads First Four
 Months Shows Decrease

Washington, June 15.-Net operating income of American railroads in the first four months this year was s143, 3,454, 600 or. about 500, 900 less than in the same period last year. This reduction repre- sents in a general way the temporary loss to the government in operation of the railroads. since the four months proportion of the annual guarantee to the railroads is more than s10O, ,000,0 600 greater than the actual income. The decrease in income was due entirely to increased operating costs under bad weather conditions early in the year, and higher wages and prices of sup plies. Operating revenue was even greater than last year.
 In April, the interstate commerce com mission reported today, earnings nearly equaled those of April last year Reve- nues amounted to sS7o, o,6l4,00O,- expenses to $28O, 1855 GOO, and net revenue to $S9' 959,000 Operating income was $74.S2 .OJO as compared with ST. 7.440000 in April. 1917.
 For the four months period this year, revenues were sl,311, ,294 900 as compared with s.,202. .S12, GOO last year; expenses were $1, ,095, 443.0oo as compared with S0,04390o last year; and net revenue S2l5,S5l ,000 as compared with S322, .0o0 last year
 Operating income of eastern roads showed the greatest decline, amounting to only S22 6SS, 900 for the four months as compared with s94.04SO00 last year. West ern lines earned $86,391 900 as compared with s120.O51 GOO, and southern roads $47, 14s, 900 as compared with s52,516,o0O
