THE WAR.
Winter vwather has swept down
upon the warring nations of Eu
rope, but the war goes on. 'lt is
not so dogged as when the weather
was mild, but derisive battles are
being waged.
The crowned heads are with their
men urging them on and encour
aging them. The Czar is with the
Russians, the Kaiser is with the
Germans, the King of England is
in France and the King of Belgium
is with his men.
In the West the Allies hold the
Get mans in check. In the East
desperate fighting goes on between
the Russians on the one hand and
the Austrians and Germans on the
other, looking to decisive results.
The latest is that Belgrade, the
Servian capital, has been taken by
the Austrians.
The tide ebbs and flows in Po
land between the Germans and
Russians.
A horrible story of wholesale
murder comes from the Southern
part of Randolph county. On last

warned to stay away. He also shot
his wife through the shoulder.
Daniels is a reputed moonshiner.
Congress will convene next Mon
day, While the 63rd Congress has
done much and accomplished some

in a generation there yet remains
much to be considered.
The country is responding nobly
to the calls for help from the Bel
gians, whose country has been al
most literally destroyed.

This country'? business
is completely subject to public ex
amination' and control, exercised
through the new Federal Reserve
Board, the Comptroller of the Cur
rency and the State Banking De
partments. To an even larger de
gree its 'transportation business is
subject to public inspection and
control, exercised throught the Tn
ter-State Commerce CommisCjn
and State railroad bo^-ds—a con
trol extending even to the fixing
of rates.
The insurance business, both life
and fire, Is also completely subject
ject to examination on bahalf of
of the public, and is strictly cir
cumscribed by Food laws, na
tional and State, suojfect an impor
tant part of manufacturing, whole
sale and retail business to public
inspection and regulation. We
now have a Pederal Commission
empowered to require • fullest re
ports from all but the smallest
manufacturing, mercantile and
concerns, to examine their books
at will and to take testimony con
cerning them.
Into practically every bank, in
surance office, steam railroad, street
railroad, gas, electric light, manu
facturing, trading, or wholesale
mercantile concern a public offi
cer can step at any time and exam
ine all that is being done or has
been done. Each concern must
make regular reports on its affairs.
If that does not throw business in
the United States wide open, what
could? We are heartily jglad of it;
but let us accept the situation in
good faith. Let us discourage
vague, wholesale, unsubstantiated,
demagogic attacks on business. If
there is anything wrong with busi
ness get down to details, for they
are now available.

A Market for Corn and Wheat.
Shall a farmer grow corn or
wheat instead of so much cotton
coming year? If so, what will be
his market? To answer this ques
tion we have made a canvass of
the hundred and seventy fead and
flour mills of the State.
Twenty-one mills of the 72 re
poiting ouy 75 per cent, at least of
their corn outside the State. Twen
ty mills alone report buying 695,-
400 bushels of white corn ana 09,000
bushels of yellow and mixed corn.
The prices paid for corn deliv
ered for the week ending October
2lth ranged from seventy cents to
dollar a bushel.
Forty-three mills report buying
wheat outside their own county.
Two mills report buying 450,000
bushels from the .North and West
The price of wheat delivered for
the week ending Oct. 24th ranged
from .90 cents to $1.29 X per bushel
By Nov. 21st prices ranged from
SI.OO to $1.41 per bushel.
It is clear that there is a large
market within our own State for
home-grown grain at good prices.
All farmert need to do it to go
after theae marketa. White corn it
the milling corn. Growert are
advised to communicate with their
nearest mills before planting, to
make sure that their seed is of
the kind which will be belt suited
to the needi of the mills.
One mill writes as follows: The
farmert of our State need to
raise more grain and should be en
couraged along thit line. We much

The Standardization of Public Health
Work.
N. C Board of Health Bulletin.
That public health work ahould
standardized for the greatest effi
ciency of service is the new and
progrestive opinion of Dr. W. 8.
Rankin. He believes thit principle,
that is as old at the knowledge of
weights and measures,, is the fun
damental abatis upon which rests
the success of all future health
work. At timilarity of conditions
determine! more or lest the feasi
bility of tuch a method, he rec
ommends that the country be taken
as a unit and at an Initiative point.
As the county ia the field of elec
tion the first essential toward
standardization, then, is necessarily
an efficient official—a health work
—specialist—having practice and
skill. Dr.. Rankin is recommend
ing a course of practical training
for health officials, gives the ten
tative plan of the North Carolina
State Board of Health to illustrate
the principle. To the new health
officers a course of practical train
ing consisting of six or seven

given actual experience in every
phase of the work of the Bureau of
Vital Statistics, is referred to prop
er references on Vital Statistic!
and is required to study and criti
cise the vital statistics table ap
pearing in various reports.
(c) Popular Sanitary Education,
three weeks. During this course
the apprentice ia required to pre
pare articles tor the Bulletin and
for press service, to study exhib
its, tlidet and lanterns, and to act
as assistant to the Bureau Chief.
(d) Tuberculosis, four weeks. Du
ring this time the apprentice will do
the State Sanatorium and in the
Bureau for Tuberculoid and ia aa
signed to the proper reading and
it given quizzes on it.

ring this time the apprentice assists
the routine examinatlona of the
State Laboratory and be quizzed on
the interpretation of water analysis

procedure.
(f) County Health Work, six
weeks. During this time the appren
tice will aerve as an assistant to an
efficient county health officer, and
will be sent to special phases of
county health work in different
counties.
On the completion of this six or
seven montht practical, course, a
certificate of efficiency in public
health work tigned by the Presi
dent and Executive Staff of the
Board will be given the student.

Camels in War.
A dispatch from England report*
that, among the bodies of Indian
troops that have reached the conti
nent is a camel corps. The camel
has for centurie* figured in the
warfare of the Bast, but he seems a
little out of place in modern Eu
rope. History contains no jnore
interesting example of the use of
camels than that devised by the
conqueror, Tamerlane. This war
rior, born in the summer of 1336,
son of a humble Asiatic chieftan,
rose by the sharpness of wit and
strength of arm to be master of 27
kingdoms extending from what is
now the region of Moscow clear
through India. Tamerlane was a
terriable figure and a mighty war
rior.
In those days men fought with
brute force, rather than with en
gines of war. The sword was chief
weapon of offense. After a migh
ty struggle Tamerlane made him
self potentate over the immediate
nations of Asia and gave to the
city of Samarcand a brilliant place
in history. One by one the Asias
tic Sultans came under his away.
India was the rich prize and
against it Tamerlane determined to
move. This was in 1398. With
his host he crossed the Indus,
marched to Delhi and stood in
arms before the gates. The Indian
Sultan at the head of 50,000 soldiers
and a herd of elephants, whose
tusks bore poisoned swords, rushed
against the invaders. Tamerlane
was sore pressed and the battle
might have gone against him had
he not fallen back on his camels.
Hastily gathering a troop of the
beasts he had them loaded with
straw and had the straw set on
fire, Tamerlane's soldiers stam
peded the camels toward the ranks
of the indians. The elephants at
the sight of the blazing hay wheel
ed around and fled in terror,' scat
tering the Indian Sultan's army,
and insuring the success of Tam
erlane.
