il may seem rather a far cry
from elocutionary ability in the
school room to fitness for an Off
GERS commission in the army, but
il is not so far as it might seem, as
is shown by statements recently is
sued from the adjutant generals Of
fee. The reason for this t. that an
officer must be able TO enunciate
his commands clearly. distinctly
and so that they may be heard for
some distance. and ability TO do this
is generally a matter Of long train
ing. so the sooner it can begin, the
better.
This reason is not 4 purely theO-

some of the officers training camps.
Some Of the 'noncoms' who had

Gasless Sunday.

The Fuel Administration an
nounced on Thursday of last
week the lifting of the ban on
gasolineless Sundays. The en-
barge has been splendidly OBJ
served in Rockingham and sur
rounding community. The cars
for the past few Sundays were
shut up and the people walked.
But now the object of the Fuel
Administration has been accom-
plished, over a million barrels of
gasoline have been conserved,
and the order is lifted. And the
difference between the man who
observed the request and the man
who didn't is the difference be-
tween a patriot and something
else.

Turn Time Backward.

From 6 p. m. Saturday, Oct.
26th, to 6 a. m. Sunday, 9th, will
be exactly 13 hours, regardless
of the fact that the dial of the
clock contains but IL numerals.
Incidently, our people will have
an opportunity to make up that
hour of sleep lost last April when
the hands of the clock were
moved up an hour.
The order of Congress advanc-
ing the time one hour, effective
Easter Sunday, expires on next
Sunday morning at 2 o'clock and
from thenceforth the standard
time, as prevailed before the en-
actment of the order, will be in
force. At2 o'clock next Sunday
morning all clocks, watches etc
will be turned back one hour.
The change in time will nee
essitate all trains that leave their
starting point before 2 a. m. Sun
day standing for one full hour at
the station where they happen to
be when 2 a. m. arrives. Last
April when the time was advanc-
| ed, the trains simply ran an hour
late; but trains cannot run ahead
of their schedule and so the
wheels of traffic will have to stop
Sunday morning for an hour to
return the schedules to normal.
Don't forget to turn your watch
back one hour Sunday.

is in accordance with the Gospel.
Very truly,

Almost the entire county is
under quarantine. Ellerbe, Nor

township, Rockingham and the
ten cotton mills are under strict
quarantine. Bars are across the
store doors at Ellerbe, and Gus
toners are served goodsby bring

at the two leading roads at Rob-

The Rockingham Red Cross
Chapter has been doing splendid
work. Sewers are busy morn
ing and afternoon Including last
Sunday making masks, aver
aging 225 each day. People who
come in touch with patients are
urged to wear these, but not
over two hours at a time; the
mask should then be sterilized
by boiling and a new one put on.
These masks can be secured
from DR.. Maness, with whom the
Red Cross is heartily co-operat-
ing.
The Great Falls mill company,
through Mr.. Gore, at the begin.
ming of the quarantine last week
began the erection of a hospital
on the hill 300 feet east of the
mill, on the main street. The
building is "a feet wide by 75'
feet long. The sides are walled
four feet up with heavy Bounce
government duck. This allows
an abundance of fresh air ven
tilation; at the top of the sides
are other rolls of duck that can
be lowered in inclement weather
so that the building will be COM
pletely encased. A stove is with
in. Running down the length of
the building is a duck partition
to divide the male and female
patients. The mill built the hos
pital and the Red Cross has
equipped it and will supply soups,
etc. Three Red Cross nurses
are in charge, the mill paying
for two and the Red Cross for
one; they are Miss Lillian George,
of Wilmington, Mrs. Morgan, or
Hendersonville; and a colored
nurse from Raleigh, Mary Grit
fin.
The hospital was opened We'd
nesday afternoon; seven patients
were at once carried there, these
being Mrs. J. w. Goodman; Mrs.
Martha Andrews, Miss Grady
Hart, Mrs. Ella Coble, Miss Viola
Andrews, Mr.. J. P. Jenkins and

patients will be placed there this
afternoon, and more Friday.

QUARANTINE
1900 Cases Influenza in
County. 80 in Rocking
ham. Quarantine of Rock
ingham Made Tighter.
Possibility of It's Being
Lifted Next Week.

The influenza epidemic in
Richmond county continues I'M
abated. The estimate of cases
is 1900.
On Thursday of last week
Health Supervisor ]. M. Maness
placed Rockingham under strict
quarantine, with guards at each
exit to prevent passage coming
in. Up until Wednesday no ef-
fort had been made to prevent
people leaving the town. But
now to better enforce the quar-
antine, the guards have been in
structed to shut the city tight
to prevent people leaving or
coming in. This also applies to
railroad traffic.
Also, effective Wednesday
night, that portion of Great Falls
mill village which lies is Rock
ingham was included in the city
quarantine, and the guard placed
at Great Falls creek bridge in
stead Of at the Rockets corner
as heretofore. when the quar-
antine was instituted, the village
of Great Falls was not included
in the city quarantine; now, how.
ever, in view of the new hospital
built at Great Falls, the lines
have been placed at the creek.)
On Monday night the barber
shops of the city were ordered
closed until the quarantine is
lifted.
So far there have been reported
to health officer Maness, at his
office in the opera house build.
ing (phone 32D, 80 cases for the
entire town, including the town
Iportion of Great Falls. Two
deaths have occurred, one white
and one colored.
On Monday the quarantine
was made even more effective
by quarantining the homes
where cases appear. Placards
are placed on each home in which
is a case, and no one can leave
that home until four days have
elapsed after the latest case in
that home.
DR.. Maness can really give nc
estimate as to when the quaran.
tine can be lifted. He informs
the Post-Dispatch that it will
certainly continue all the present
week; and lifting it next week
depends upon the further spread
of the disease.
8 new cases were reported for
Rockingham for Wednesday.
AS will be noted from the
elatively few cases in Rocking.
ham, the epidemic is we'll in hand
and the conditions vastly better
than in a majority of places; but
the quarantine and other precau-
tions is to KEEP the health con-
ditions good and to PREVENT a
real spread. "A stitch in time !"
