As to Substitutes.
The food administration requires the
use Of one pound OF meal TO four
pounds of flour, instead of pound for
pound, az enormously stated Tuesday.
The idea is that farmers may pur-
chase flour without purchasing subsu-,
suites, provided they present millec1t
certificates showing that meal has
been ground for them to be used as n
substitute. The merchant Is not al
lowed to sell -four to anybody without
also selling substitutes in proportion
Of one to four. except upon the evil
dence of n milleTs certificate. that the
purchaser has meal substitute.

From lenoir to Edgemont.
The following is from the Charlotte
Observer: The Lenoir News brings
information that a reconstruction of
the Carolina 4 North Western Rail-
road from that town to Edgemont has
been authorized by Mr. J. b. Akers,
Southern engineer for the middle dis
trict. This road was torn UP by the
flood Of July, 1916. and has been In a
neglected condition since that. time.
The people along the line had become
fearful that after the lumber interests
OF the Ritter and Bourbonnais COM
panies had "cut out" their contracts
in that section the railroad would be
abandoned. The contract for its con-
struction, therefore, indicates that
these fears were groundless. and at the
same time the people see in il a re-
vival OF the hope that the line is to be
extended across the ridge to a connec-
ton with other Southern lines in the
western part OF the State. The recon-
struction Of the road to Edgemont in

traffic would not be sufficient to JUS
