RICHMOND county set the State
an example three years ago in
school matters-in consolidating
a smaller school district with a
larger Derby Memorial SCHOOL,,
and providing the daily transpor-
tation by motor of the pupils of
the smaller district to the larger,
where larger and better type
school was available.
This pioneer action of Rich
mond county has been followed
with satisfactory results in a
number of other counties.
And now Richmond county is
making a second testot this idea.
The Cognac school district is not
thickly populated, whereas the
adjoining Hoffman district has a
splendid four-teacher school.
This school opened last Monday,
and with the very first day the
new plan was put into effect.
The R. F. D. Carrier at Marston
carries the Cognac dirtrict pupils
to the Hoffman School each
morning, then makes his Route
rounds; and IN afternoon returns
for the children. This consoli-
dalton tends to a better school,
and gives the children of the
weaker district far better advan-
tages.

it is hoped to exchange them fo1
bronze tablets.

Hamlet Cafe Fined.

The Lewis cafe at Hamlet was
Saturday investigator by the
County Administrator, and on
Monday the cafe contributed 500
to the Hamlet Red Cross Canteen
fund, in lieu of prosecution for
violation of the sugar regulations.
This makes the second cafe in
Richmond county to be lacked
up for food violations. The Busy
Bee of Rockingham was a few
weeks ago required to turn over
$50 to the Rockingham Red Cross
and now the Lewis cafe of Ham
let is caught up with, and made
to disgorge to save itself from
going to court.

1t is a small thing for the auto.
ist to slow up at a railroad cross
ing and take a look up and down
the track, and a terrible thing if
he fails to do so and a wreck oc-
ours. This is what occurred Sun
day near Gastonia. Charles c.
Holler with his seven children
attempted to cross the track with
out stopping to see if a train were
near, and as a result a freight
train struck the car, killed the
father, fatally injured the oldest
girl and badly bruised the other
six children.
How many people really pay
attention to the Stop, Look and

CAMP Bragg is to be the name
of the artillery training camp to
be established between Fayette-
vile and Raeford. Naming the
artillery camp after the noted
Confederate general is very fit
ting. Gen. Braxton Bragg, who
was born in Warren county, this
State, first came into prominence
during the Mexican war, when
at the battle of Buena Vista Gen.
eral Taylor remarked Give them

Gen. Bragg was the only native
of this State to reach the rank of
full general of the Confederacy.

Why Take CaIoIl'eI?
DR.. TEACHERS Liver & Blood Syrup
will do all that calomel will do and
without the latter effects"

Years ago, when people were bilious,
when the liver got lazy and failed to do
it's work or the stomach was out of
condition, calomel was the standby.
By and by the us: rs of calomel found
that the "after effects" of taking the
drug were as bad and more often worse
than the ailment for which it was
taken.
DR.. Thatcher, in seeking medicine
to take the place of calomel-one that
would do all the good that calomel
would do, and yet leave none'of its evil
effects perfected DIR. TEACHERS Liver &
Blood Syrup. This was in 1852, and
each year since has added to the cont1-
lence Of those who have used it.
Miss Susie Brewer, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, tried calomel. She was suffer-
ing with a very serious cold and grippe
and had no appetite whatever. After
the calomel failed she tried DR.. Thach-
er's Liver & BlooC Syrup. She felt
Cetter after taking tAree doses and she
soon got entirely well. 81 think DR..
Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup is
wonderful medicine" she said, 'and I

For nearly three quarters.of century

PRESIDENT Wilson was asked to
give his views on the senatorial
race in South Carolina, in which
former Governor Cole L. Blease
is a candidate, and here is what
he said:
Let me say that | have per-
feet confidence that the people
of South Carolina will judge
rightly in the senatorial contest
and | have not the least fear that
they will believe that Mr.. Blease
is or can be a friend of the ad-
ministration. The record of his
opinion is already written and it
is a little late to expunge it."
To the point, this. Mr.. Blease
is manifestly out of harmony
with the war sentiment of his
State and nation, and this fact
should operate to his defeat.
Col. John L. McLaurin,a South
Carolinian who has been friendly
towards Blease, has come out in
a statement that he will oppose
Blease and vote for Dial; he feels
it would be disgrace to send
a man to the Senate who has so
bitterly attacked Mr.. Wilson per-
sonally, and who heretofore has
been out of harmony with our
war against Kaiserism.
The election will be held next
Tuesday, Aug. 9th, and it is to
be hoped.the sun will rise the
18th on a snowed-under Blease,
and that all its rays will never
be able to thaw him back to
political life.

To County Food Administrators:

10 NOunCy FOOQ Administrators
We are arranging to issue the
September allotment of sugar
certificates not later than the
last week in August. This will
enable your merchants to dispose
of their August allotment of sugar
very largely for canning and
preserving purposes without any
inconvenience to their patrons.
The Sugar Division has its
work systematized to such an
extent now that we think certi-
fcates will be issued hereafter at
least by the first of the month
for which they are allotted.
AS we have said before, the
two pounds per person per month
for household consumption must
have first consideration, but we
are very anxious that all sugar
above these requirements should
be used for preserving and can
ming as rapidly as it is available.
We still have a considerable
quantity of sugar available for
canning and preserving and pro-
pose to issue extra allotments of
certificates for this purpose to
those counties where any fruits
or berries are likely to waste be-
cause of the lack of sugar. These
extra certificates will be issued
to dealers selected by County
Food Administrators and recon-
mended by them to the Sugar
Division. The fruit season will
be over within a very short time
now, and it will often happen
that prompt action by County
Food Administrators, as we'll as
the Sugar Division, will be neces-
sary to save fruit and berries.
Urge maximum canning with
minimum sugar" and use your
discretion in issuing the largest
amount of sugar possible for
this purpose.
Very truly yours,
Henry A. Page,
Federal Food Administrator.
The entire allotment of sugar
for North Carolina for all pur-
poses for September is 5,5l8,OOO
pounds. There is a slight ad-
ditional allotment for canning
and preserving which is appor-
toned among counties, in the
discretion of the Sugar Division
and upon recommendation of the
County Food Administrators.

Weekly Casualties Review.
Killed, Wounded, Prisoners and
Missing as officially announced
during the past week for North
Carolina and Richmond County.

The war news the past week
has each day shown an improve
ment. Our troops and our Allies
are giving the German armies
no rest, but are attacking at
many points.
Before the Allied offensive
began on July 18th, the total
length of the battle line, from
Switzerland to the North Sea,
was $50 miles long. NOW by
steady gains the line has been
shortened to 200 miles!
The Germans have at last been
driven back to the lines they
occupied when they began their
offensive March21st. Lassignay
was captured Wednesday, and
Noyon is threatened, and will
likely be in our hands within a
few days.
Gen. March, our Chief of Staff,
Saturday told Congress that by
sending 100000 troops to France
by next summer, we can end
the war in the Fall of 1919! This
is the first intimation given out
by officials as to when we may
expect the war to end. tits sig

To be amazed at what is going on

 of the wars in which the United States
 engaged brought forth the dissatisfied and disgruntled They were alive and active in the Revolutionary War After independence was won in the face of these and other difficulties. the critics remained on hand. The nation < knew them in 1912 and through the \ Mexican wars. When the North and < tie South grappled in fratricidal com @bat faultfinding reached a new height Particularly was this so among those Awho held an antipathy toward Abra- @ham Lincoln. They cried out that the war was a failure. They did every Hthing they could do to make it such. aAnd yet from out of the chaos came Border Only in a democracy could @ such adverse criticism obtain. Under 8 another form of government the of- Blenders would be taken out at sunrise Aand placed before a. firing squad. Yet all the chorus raised against the @a Administration there are loud voices

France, bled white" says the Senator, lis furnishing Amer ica today and the troops going abroad with heavy ordnance, machine guns and airplanes." He points that out as inefficiency, when, as a matter of fact, this service came as a direct result of an appeal from France. It was thought to expedite matters in this way. So long as these heavy ord- nances could be secured in France, which although "bled white is able to furnish them, the United States consented to the plan. It saves a three thousand mile stretch of ocean. In return France is able to get food stuffs and other things that might oc- cupy the space ordinarily used by big guns,-which are going later.

 has been placed in general charge of the distribution of anthracite and bi- luminous coal. Formerly General Sec
 retary of the National Coal Associa- tion which he organized in Pittsburgh
 and later Assistant Secretary of the Federal Trade Commission, MT. Mar row brings to his new post the conf-
 dence which should enable him to
 help the situation. With the weather
 still doing all in it's power to tie up
 transportation, both by rail and water, the outlook is not pleasant. Yet
 under the Garfield fuel order much
 good has been accomplished. On top
 of this tho freight embargo on impor- tant trunk lines, put in effect by Di-
 rector General Garfield, has helped materially and will help even more as the days go on. People are now , getting coal who have been deprived of this precious commodity. Ships lying in wait at Atlantic ports have had their bunkers filled to overflow ing, and part of the freight congestion has been removed. Unless, as MT. Starrow believes, the worst is yet to come. the nation should be able to get along until the open weather.

Labor Loyalty Week.
Cleveland Plain-Dealer)

The birthday of Abraham Lincoln is to have it's usual observance strengthened this year in a novel way It is proposed to give it a new sig nificance and make the week in which it comes. the week of Feb. 10, 8 period for advancing and spreading those principles of patriotism for which the martyred Lincoln toiled and gave his life.
 The Alliance of Labor and Democ- racy has asked that the week of Feb. 10 be observed as Labor Loyalty Week, a period during which an ag- gressive, nationwide loyalty campaign will be carried on, marked by special services and gatherings, all designed to recall the labors and virtues of the great liberator and to impress upon the American people the stimulating effect of his mighty example. In par ticular, the week is designed to com bat the insidious efforts of the enemy's en lukewarm doubters- The name of Lincoln will be used to arouse enthu- siasm as a stimulant to national spirit, and thousands of copies of the Gettysburg address and other utter culated broadcast.
 Lincoln's birthday is a, loyal inspira- ton in itself That it should be made the focus of a period of patriotic en- thusiasm is eminently fitting. Wheth- CT or not Loyalty Week proves the success it's promoters hope to make it. the spirit that suggests it and the ef- forts to establish it will not be wasted.
