dated Jan. 23rd: @
Il write you while en- route to the
States because l was associated with
your son in the 'Y" service at Movers,
France. 1t was indeed a pleasure to
know him: gentlemenly, unostentatious,
and capable. He did good work I'M
complainingly in probably the most un-
pleasant camp of our division and was
promoted to the desk of Divisional Cash
Ter because OF his ability with figures and
cash. He was selected by the divisional
accountant who was most exacting
man and very hard to please. And your
son met all the severe requirements oi
the position after several had been tried
and rejected. 1t was pleasure to know
him and am happy to write you thus"

A delegation numbering 500
went to Raleigh Friday from the
Maxton section of Robson coun-
ty, to present their claims to the
committee on Counties, Cities
and Towns for a new county.
After spirited speeches both for
and against (the against coming
from Lumberton) the committee
voted to report the petition un-
favorably, only three OF the
twenty committeeman voting fol-
the proposed new county.
So the matter is dead for this
time, but, like Banquo's ghost, il
will bob up with each succeeding
Legislature until the new county
is formed.

Don Phillips at Coblenz.

In a letter to his father, Rev.
]. H. Hall, from his son, 1t. John
Hall, dated Feb. End, was the in
formation that ever since his
arrival overseas his company had
been with corps troops, but on
Feb. LIST they transferred to the
Third Army. He was uncertain
whether this would mean a
speedier or delayed chance for
returning home. His company,
as a result, was moved to Auder-
mach, about 30 kilometers down
the river from Coblenz.
We copy herewith an interest
ing postscript to this letter:
Zone night last week over at the Off
GERS club in Coblenz the first person l
saw was Don Phillips, the Laurinburg
boy who practiced law in Rockingham
and who came over in September, 1917.
After hugging each other and expressing
our surprise and delight, we settled down
to lengthy heart to heart" My side of
our doings over here was soon told; but
he certainly made me feel like piker
and one of the stay-at-homes when he
recounted his doings. He is with the
32nd division and with them saw the
thickest of the fighting in all the Ameri-
can major operations. To use his ex-
preston. they just couldn't kill me"
and his one wound chevron is for slight
machine gun bullet wound in the leg
The coat which he wears is full of
bullet holes---of bullets that never even
so much as scratched him. He was at
one time on duty with French troops,
and came away with a Croix de Guerre
having on it one star, denoting divisional
citation. am pretty positive his division
will sail before long; they deserve it. He
wished to be remembered to you and his
other friends back home"

THE House Wednesday night
killed the Everett suffrage bill by
a vote of 54 to 40, after it had
passed the Senate by IS to IL last
week. The bill was introduced
by Richmond county's represent
alive, W. N. Everett, who led the
debate in the House in it's advo-
cacy. 1t was a certain thing that
woman's suffrage for the entire
state would never pass, and so
this bill was introduced that
would provide the right of wom-
en- to vote in school elections
and municipal elections. But
the House decreed otherwise.

A newspaper is the cheapest

bringing sunshine and happiness.
1t snortens the long winter day,

JOB WORK A SPECIALITY

AN exchange says they have
invented a new kind of social
amusement. 1t is called an
''avoirdupois party" All tine girls
are weighed and the weight of
each written on a piece of paper
and put into a hat, and the young
men must draw. The young
man must 60 to supper with the
girl whose weight he draws, and
must pay for her supper at one
half cent per pound. 1t is very
exciting, as far as the young men
are concerned.

"The Star-Spangled Banner"
the national hymn of the United
States, was written by Francis
Scott Key on board the frigate
Surprise during the lombard
ment of Fort McHenry, Md, by
the British, in 1874. He directed
that the words should be sung to
the tune "Anacreon in Heaven, /"
composed in England by John
Stafford Smith between ITO and
1775. "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner' was first sung in a tavern
near the Holiday Street Theatre,
Baltimore, by Ferdinand Durang.

THE United States transported
overseas up to the signing of the
ar1nistice 2,050,122 men; of these
the British ships carried LOAF, 1874,

ships 61,6O8, and French ships

men. In the return of these
men, American ships have
brought back 245,688 men, or 70
per cent; British 75,174, or 81
per cent; French 1858, or 5 per
cent; Italian and other ships
1852
The foregoing figures show
clearly the reversal of the trans
portation problem. Great Brit
aims ships are now being used
for their own purposes, the trans
portation of their own troops,
and are not at our disposal the
way they were in sending the
men over. The utmost speed is
being used in getting the troops
home, and yet in the face of the
tremendous shipping problem
that the United States must
shoulder alone, many persons
will grumble and complain at
the 'slowness' and 'ineficiency.'

Why Take CaIonlel?
DR.. TEACHERS Liver & Blood Syrup
will do all that calomel will do and
without the "after effects"

Years ago, when people were bilious,
when the liver got lazy and failed to do
its work or the stomach was out OF
condition, calomel was the standby.
By and by the scrs 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.. Thacher, in seeking a 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 DR.. TEACHERS Liver &
Blood Syrup. This was in 1862, and
each year since has added to the conf
Hence of those who have used it.
Miss Susie Brewer, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, tried calomel. She was suffer-
ing with very serious cold and grippe
and had no appetite whatever. After
the calomel failed she tried DR.. Thach-
ar's Liver & Bloo6 Syrup. She felt
better after taking tAree doses and she
soon got entirely we'll. 81 think DR..
Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup is q
wonderful incidence she said, '1and l
nm very thankful I tried it,"
For nearly three quarters.of century
this sterling preparation has been an
sold standby" in thousands of homes
n treating rheumatism, dyspepsia, I'M
digestion and other stomach and liver
complaints. Itisa powerful tonic and
blood purifier and can be used with

Americans Destroy
Many Old Bombs

Treyes, Germany, March 17.-Zep-
pelin bombs of uncertain age and
manufacture have been destroyed
by the hundreds recently by Amer
lean soldiers engaged in Cleaning
up" after the withdrawal of the
enemy. These bombs, of no prac-
tical use owing to long exposure to
the weather, were found near a
hangar in the region of Treves when
the American Army of Occupation
crossed into Rhsnish Prussia from
the Luxembourg border.
The task of destroying thousands
of tons of old, and in many in
stances worthless, German shells be-
gan several weeks ago, the ex-
plosives being placed in great pits
and covered with steel rails and
wood and piles of earth and fired by
electricity.
Thousands of anti-aircraft shells
also have been destroyed on the
summit of a ridge of hills skirting
the Moselle in this vicinity and ord
nance experts in charge of the work
expect to finish their work here soon
and then move on to other German
ammunition dumps awaiting their
attention along the Rhine and other
parts of the occupied territory.
