He explained that the attack was
made at Arras on May p without
French support, and like the Wey-

mile gap between the beleagued
allies on the north and the French
forces on the Somme and Alsne
rivers.
The British smashed their way
south to Croisilles, inflicting very
heavy casualties" and took around
500 prisoners, he continued. They
then hung on in spite OF a series
of attacks launched by the German
infantry and mechanical units. But
by May % the Germans had en-
circled them so completely on the
left side that the force had to be
pulled out Of its position through
a gap at Douai to save it from be-
ing entirely surrounded.

Officer Says
British Never

London, July 6.-(AP)-The Bri-
fish expeditionary force delivered
the only successful counterattack OF
the Flanders campaign and never
once failed the French, senior staff

The British withdrew from plan
4-A"-Generalissimo Maxine Wey-
gand's bold and simple scheme to

collapse Of the Belgian army en-
dangered the British left flank, this
informant asserted.
The officer, answering charge
by French Foreign Minister Paul
Baudouin that the B. E. F. had done
nothing to close the Artois gap i'll
the campaign, meticulOusly outlined
the British part in the fighting.

1t Was a Saner Fourth

Americans who are Interested IN
accident prevention on the highways
and elsewhere have much to justify
the swelling of pride in the greatly
reduced fatalities over the Fourth OF
July holiday. There never was any
sense in killing off three to, five
hundred citizens just to mark an
other birthday anniversary Of the
nation. and that conviction seems to
have permeated the minds OF the
people in more impressive manner
this independence Day than in many
years.
The 1874 fatalities reported was a
figure only about half or even less
than is usual for the nations birth
day party. Only two Of these were
from fireworks, as against thirteen
fatalities of that kind last year.
Automobile accidents accounted for
only sc deaths and droWnings for 30.
AS compared with other recent years
this is rather a remarkable and graf
flying showing, especially when It
embraces the entire country.
For the standpoint Of total cas-
ualties it was 4 Saner Fourth than
the nation has experienced in 4 long
time 1t is possible, of course, that
the Improvement was due partly to
the cool weather keeping people at
home, or possibly they were in less
Of mood for hilarity, what with a
menacing war raging across the At
lantic and the prospect Of terrific
new inroads by tax levies On individ-
ual purses or bank accounts.
Whatever the explanation, the
bare facts indicate d more sober
view of conditions that produce the
disgraceful spectacle of highway and
other violent deaths on Independence
Day or any other day.

Thousands Of
Migrants In

Raleigh, July o.-Neafly f'ooU
migrants were counted by agents OF
the North Carolina Employment
Service during harvest Of the potato
crop in eastern counties.
Farm placement workers IN the
potato areas counted 1871. or APP
proximately rs per cent Of the estl-
mated total, it has been reported by
the employment service.
Interviews with these migrants
revealed that almost 80 per cent
were from Florida, with 1888, with
five other states furnishing much
smaller percentages Of the total.
These states were North Carolina,
FOG, South Carolina 1875, Alabama
Sc. Georgia 80, and Delaware 6.
This horde of transient workers
travelled, according to the Employ
ment Service count, in 225 passen-
ger cars and l3l trucks.
The migrants included men, Wo-
men and children Of all ages; and
were of both races, mostly Negroes
except for forcmen, contracting
agents and bosses.

lowing areas in the proportions in

Third Term Tales

Washington goSSipS two different
kinds of rUmorS about the third term
riddle. One is that the President
will neither seek nor accept another
nomination. and the other is that he
will head the ticket with Cordell
Hull, his secretary of state for seven
years. as the tail to the kite.
There can be substance to only
one Of these tales. Either Mr.. RoOSe-
welt will run again or he will not.
Certainly the general impression over
the country is that he will. Demo-
Gratis are resigned to that eventual
ity, and Republicans are so sure Of
it that they are laying plans for
their campaign on that basis.
II the resident had no intention
of running again, and if he did not
wish new lease on the office, there
is nothing that we can think of that
would have prevented his saying so.
Indeed there is no valid reason why
ne should not have so committed
himself. If in the face of such de-
claration he should then have been
drafted anyhow, the honor would
have been the greater.
If there has been anything to in
dictate with a definiteneSs worthy of
notice that Mr.. Roosevelt did not
want another term and was not do
ING all he could, in a quiet way, to
shape up conditions to make it APP
pear he was being drafted, it has es-
capped our notice.
Those who are specializing are
doing nothing more than engaging in
a pleasant paStime. Perhaps they
feel they need something to keep
their minds off the hot weather and
the bad news from Europe. So far
as a third term is concerned, the
issue lorg ago was settled affirm
atively.

Oxford Celebrates

Our neighbor Oxford last week
put on a celebration that would do
honor to cities and towns of much
larger population. The program
commemorative the centennial OF
the completion Of the Granville
county court house was well plan
ned and carried out, and served It's
purpose Of familiarizing its citizens
and guests with the long and honor
able history OF the county.
On every hand was evidence OF
the cooperation Of business people
and citizens generally in the under
taking. That is always an essential
in projects of the kind. &nd when
the whole people enter enthusiastic
callv into the effort success is as
Sured.
Many interesting features were
arranged for the occasion. One O!
these was the very creditable parade
on Wednesday. The visit of the gov
ernor and OF the governor-nOminate
of the State were high spots as well.
But the outstanding event OF th>
three-day program was the pageant
which depicted the proud history O
this great old county. 1t was an
outdoor attraction. and the general
arrangement and Set-up thrilled the
large crowds attending.
Many Henderson people were IN
Oxford for one or more OF the events,
and without exception praised the
excellence of the program. Inc
whole undertaking was prepared II
comparatively short time. and was
complete in all details.
Added interest of Henderson peo-
pie was attached to the pageant Ill
particular. for the same producing
organization that was in charge has
been tentatively engaged for the pro-
posed centennial contemplated here
in 1871 in commemoration OF the
granting of the charter to the city,
and also the siXtieth anniversary OF
the creation of Vance county.
Oxford and Granville county are
to be CONGRATULATED for the excel
lence of their celebration. Among
other things. it afforded fresh op-
portunity for their people and ours
to come together and renew old &C
ouaintanceS and further cement
friendships and cordialitieS that al
ready exist. and which should be-
come the more genuine as the years
rass. Oxford and Henderson are
traditional rivals. but it is a friendly
rivalry. and at heart the two peoples
have much in common and each
Fundamentally reciprocateS the
others admiration and affections.

A Noted Educator

Death in Charlotte last Friday Of
Edward L. B&>t, an outstanding edit
catlonal leader in the State, came as
a surprise ana d shock to his friends
there and elsewhere over the State.
He was a native OF Franklin county.
where for many years he was sup
erintendent OF the county schools, but
for the past several years had been
superintendent OF the Mecklenburg
county school system.
His career was another case Of
where the home town boy made good
in a big way. He attained the high
est rung OF the ladder in Franklin
county'S educational system. and
was so successful that his work at
tracted the attention of Mecklenburg
authorities when they found a va
cancy existed in their own commun-
ity, and they called him there as an
executive officer. The Mecklenburg
rural school system is one Of the
largest in the State, and Mr.. Best
had managed it with the same high
character of success that marked his
services in Franklin.
An indication of the value placed
on his achievements in his native
county is seen in the fact that one of
the finest rural schools in Franklin
was named for him-the Edward
Best high school-and it was done
not only before he died but while
he still held office as head of the
school system there.
Mr.. Best was still a comparatively
young man. being only 10 at the
time of his death. His passing is a
loss to the States educational forces.
He was known to many people in this
city and county, who appreciated
his abilities and his services, and
held him in high esteem for the
high quality of his work.
