A snow and sleet storm, lash
ed by a 50-mile wind, swept up
the Atlantic coast last week,
causing thousands of dollars
damage. The damage at
Wrightsville Beach is estimated
at $50,000, six cottages being
destroyed and other damages
resulting. At Ocean View and
Willoughby Beach the damages
was over 100000. In Pennsyl-
vania the snow drifted to a
depth in railroad cuts of Is to 70
feet, huge snow plows being nee
essary to clear the tracks. Sure
ly the Piedmont section of the
Old North State is the best in
the world, and the Richmond
county portion still better-no
droughts, no tornadoes, no
floods, no SHOWS.

The substitution of the letter
''h" for the letter &c" can work
havoc. The News & Observer
last Friday carried a local news
account of a show given at the
theatre there, the reporter max
ing mention of the "comely
maidens of the chorus" In the
rush of going to press the type
setter accidentally used an Oh
instead of a "c", in "comely" and
as a result that chorus became
homely and mad. The wonder is
that newspapers don't make
vastly many more errors than
they do.

EDUCATION IN ARMY.

AS a direct example of what the
army can do for man under present
conditions, the recruiting Office at
Greensboro is sending out young
man, VIM. C.. Brazeal, of Pickens, S.
c., who enlisted last October and who
at that time could barely read or
write. The recruiting office sent him
to Camp Upton to the army school,
and now he has advanced so rapidly
that he is equivalent to the fifth grade.
He was in Rockingham Saturday, be-
