They ought to be able to do the job. , The cantonment for North Caro lina that was expected to be estab lished at Fayetteville up to a few days ago seems certain now of going to Charlotte. The Charlotte people have a way of getting things when they go after them. The Fourth of July lias taken on a new world meaning. In England and France the day was celelirated last week, with as much patriotic /error a* in the United Stttes where it marks the birthday of the greatest and most enduring democracy the world has ever seen. II Russia shall keep up the pace shown for the past week and the other allies shall hold their own as they have done, we do not believe that there will be any Kaiserism left at the end of another 12 months, notwithstanding some high authori ties have predicted that tlio war may last yet five years. Not so many subma'ined ships in the past week, but all too many. The waste is appalling. The allied powers by combination should sweep the seas. The task would he hazard ous and costly, but, successfully done, would end the most dreaded and moat destructive engine the Germans have in operation, and in the end would save hundreds ol lives and ships and millions of wealth. The country has heeded the call lor war preparation in the produc tion of food. A government esti mate just out makes it known that a billion moro bushels of foodstuff will be produced in this country than in any previous year. That is in itself "jifaoomprehonuble, but it means that an exceaa of 10 bunhela to every man, woman and child in America will be produced orer and above tho grsatest food crop evsr before pro duced. The farmers are doing as big Uiinga aa any other c aao along any other line. A report of food riots in Ger many comes via Copenhagen.

Alec Coble, as chairman of a local committee, planned the (lay to have a general reunion of the students and teachers and friends at Cross Roads on Inde pendence day. Many responded to the invita tion. People love to go back to where they spent their school days and be again where they were in days gone by and feel again that old fraternal fellowship of friend ships formed in youth. Dr. J. D. Gregg of Liberty, a former student, and I'rof. J. B. Robertson of Graham, a former teacher, were the speakers of the day. Roll calls back to the days of sixty was an interesting feature. A few answered that were more than three score and ten. Squire Sylvester Spoon, who is more than 90, though hale and hearty, was present and gave some most inter esting information and incidents of the good old days of the long ago. Many others told of thddays "when I was here." , . Ij. M. ShofTner prepared a paper giving a runuing history of, the school siuce its beginning about 1930 to the present time that was much enjoyed. Sqme of the former teachers of this school and of the county, to not mention those of more ancient days, are David Thompson, Eliza belli Foster, Dr. W. R. Goley, 'i'. M.

In 1010 there were 1,007,332 more motor cars registered iu the United States than iu 1915. This was an increase of 4,'S pur cent. The gross total of registered cars, including commercial cars, was 3,612,990; the number of motor cycles registered was 250,8-0. The several States collected iu regis tration and license fees, including those of chauffeurs and operators, a total gross revenue of $25,806,- 309.75. -Of this amount 92 per cent., or $23,910,811, was ttpplicd directly to construction, improve ment, or maintenance of th»pub lic roads iu 43 States, according to llpures compiled by the oftlce of public roads of the United States Department of Agricul ture. Iu 1917 the increase will prob ably be as great as lost year. Nine compauiee of Illinois Na tional Guardsmen were ordered to Bloouiingtou, 111, on the (Hh to restore order following a uiglit oT rioting caused by the strike of employes of the liloomington and Normal Hallway aud Light Com pany.

Bickett has appointed the tax commission of five who will make a study of taxation and re port to the General Assembly their findings as recommendation for changes in the State's system. The men are Frauk A. Linney, Republican opponent of Governor Bickett in the 1016 campaign; Henry A. Page, Aberdeen, uiein-i ber of the General Assembly; W. Vance Brown of AshevUle; J.Zeb. Green, editor and lecturer for the Farmers' Union, and James 11. Pou of Raleigh, attorney. Four of tiie appoiutees are Democrats, says the Raleigh cor respondent of the Greensboro News, and the fifth is the Repub lican State chairman. Gov. Bick ett was not required by the act creating the tax studying commis sion to appoint a Republican but it was his own idea that the mi nority party should have repre sentation in sifting the most vex atious question that the State government has to meet period ically. Bombs Dropped in German Territory. The allies have been dropping some bombs on German towns. A dispatch from Berlin says in addi tion to bomb dropping near the front, there were encounters in German territory. Enemy avia tors dropped more than 100 in cendiary bombs in the Westpba liau industrial region and at other points, but no military damage was done, it is added. A roport from Amsterdam says that ffve persons were killed and several houses were destroyed dur ing the bombardment of. the Ger man city of Essen, home of the great Krupp works, Friday night.

Memory Vorooo, 11, 12—Golden Toxt, Hob. xl, 6—Common to ry Proparod by Bov. D. M. Stoarno. The story of Hezeklab, oon of Ah**, who reigned twenty-nine years In Je rusalem and who did rlgtt In the sight of the Lord, working good and right and troth before the Ldrd bis Ood and doing it with all his heart, ao that there waa none like him among all the kingo of Jndah either before him or after him In tbe matter of touting in the Lord Ood of Israel (II Chron. xxlx, 2; xxxl, 20, 21; II Kinga xvlli, 0), occupies eleven chapters of Scripture (H Kings xvlil-xx; II Chron. xxlx-xxxll; Isa: xxxri-xxxlx). When we consider that these kings were spoken of as sitting on tbe throne of the Lord, to be kings for tbe Lord their Ood (I Chron. xxlx, 23; II Cbron. ix, 8), we see more clearly tbe monstrous sin of A has and tbe great contrast In bis son, whose name signifies tbe strength of Jehovah and which be so well Illustrated during the greater part of bis life. Our lesson chapter tells of the great passorer which be kept for all Israel from Dan to Beersbeba, nnd this feast always points us in three directions—to the nlgbt of the nation's birth, to Christ our passover crucified for us and to the rebirth of the nation in tbe future when they shall be gathered from all nations and the passover shall be fulfilled In the kingdom of God. •Let us look a little at tbe rest of his story before we take up the day's lesson. He began his good reign by opening tbe doors of tbe house of the Lord, which bis wicked father had closed up, and by cleansing tbe temple of its filtblness, which occupied them sixteen days (xxlx, 8-6, in. IJe set the priests and Levltes to Work with the inspiring and encouraging words of xxlx, 11, and, having restored the vessels which his father bad cast away, he made atonement for all Israel and bad the true worship re stored with praises and gladness and rejoicing (xxlx, 24, 80, 86). Then they kept the great passover, sending invi tations throughout all Israel and Ju dah urging all to turn to tbe Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel and yield themselves unto tbe Lord (xxx, 1-®). , Although gome laughed the Invita tion to scorn and mocked, there were ' those of Asher and Manasseh and " Zebulun wlio humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem to keep the feast (xix, 10-12). They found such Joy In - keeping the feast of unleavened bread r spake to the heart of all the Levltes r and the priests praising the Lord day by day and teaching the good knowl l edge of the Lord, and Hezeklah so , spake to the heart of all the Levltes, l that the whole assembly took counsel to keep the feast seven days more, which they did with gladness; and ! there was not so great Joy In Jerusa * lem since the time of Solomon. The ■ praise and prayer were heard In heaven, the habitation of Ills holi ness (xxx. 21-27). The contrast be tween this and the sin and unbelief and rebellion of Alias's reign helps us to understand Just a little better the contrast between Israel's present un belief and * suffering and the time, drawing ever nearer, when they shall obtain Joy and gladness and sorrow and sighing shall flee away (Isa. xxxv, 10; 11, 11). After this great pasaover and time of-rejolclng there followed a cleansing of the land as far as -possible from Idolatry and Idols, and the brazen ser pent which Moses bad made in the wilderness and which Israel was now worshiping as an Idol was destroyed (xxxi, 1; II lyings xvill, 4). Such a turning from Idols to God to serve the Living and True (iod (I Thess. 1-0) was too much for the devil to take and so he stirred up Sennach erib and his hosts to go up against Jerusalem and with great blasphemy defy the Living God, the God of Is rael. Hezeklah encouraged his princes and people with the words of chap ter xxxli. 7. 8, saying, "With him Is an arm of flesh, hut with us is the our God to help us and to flgbt our battles." Hezeklah, the king, and the prophet Isaiah prayed and cried to heaven as they spread the wicked letters before the Lord and asked the Living God so to work on behalf of His people and because of His naflte, which had been so reproached, that all the kingdoms of the earth might 1 know that He was the Lord God, and i He only (xxxll. 20; II Kings xtx, 14-10). Note the same great desire on the part of Joshua aud David (Josh, lv, 24; 1 Sam. xvli. 40, 47). That God may be glorified should lie the one and constant aim of every believer (Phil. , I, 20: I Pet. lv, 11). That night the prayer of the king and the prophet was answered by T the angel of the Lord passing Over the Assyrian host and taking off the earth 185.000 men. . Bennacharlb returned to Nineveh and waa slain by bis own sons (11 Kings xtt, 35-37). The rest of Hezeklah'* story I* not ao honoring to the Lord. He became sick unto death and waa told by Isaiah that his time had come to die. But he prayed to the Lord with sore weeping, and the Lord added to his life fifteen years and gave him a wonderful algn on the aundial (laa. xxrvilL 1-8). Bome of bis words on this occaalon are very memorable. A WOMAN'S BACK. The Advice of This Graham Woman Is of Certala Value. Many m woman's back haa many achea and pains.

Plan to Destroy Crops. A dispatch from Sioux Falls, S. D., says regular army officers in South Dakota claim to have reliable infor mation that Industrial Workers of the World leaders in that State have maps of the agricultural districts ana have men stationed throughout the State who will make simultane ous attempts to burn this season s crops. Federal officers have been ap praised of the plot and every ef fort will be made to apprehend those connected with it, it was saia. The revelations were made public as a warning to the farmers of the State td guard against the ac tivities of the » plotters. This is hard to believe, Dut as the Indus trial Workers of the World are not industrial workers but agitators and disturbers' of the peace it may be true. C. German Agent Arrested. With the arrest at Scranton, Pa„ of Joseph Uraber, an organ izer of the Industrial Workers of the World, charged with being a spy in the employ of the German government, Federal authorities declared their investigation had satisfied them that recent strikes and agitations of the I.
