bayonet is a savage looking affair.
On one side it has a, double row
of saw teeth that would make a
vicious wound. It is said the Ger
mans claim it ic used for cutting
wire entanglements,- but it shows
it ia made to fasten on the muzzle
of a gun. At the same time will

ministratrix's Notice.
At The Mexican.
Millie Burke, the Paramount star,
is appearing tomorrow at the Mexi
can Theatre in a screen adaptation
of Alicia Ramsey'* "Eve's Daughter"
which recently was shown on Broad
way with Grace George as star. The
screen version was arranged by
Margaret Turnbull, while the pic
ture was directed by James Kirk
wood. An excellent cast, including
Thomas Meigban, William Riley
Hatch, Florence Flynn, Lionel At
will, and others as well known. The
story is decidedly "different," and
the fact that Miss Burke wears
frocks of the very latest design adds
greatly to the attraction.
The Reformed Outlaw featuring
Wm. 8 Hart will be shown on Fri
day night also;
Long yean hence the "Spirit of
*l7" will be recalled with a thrill
that cannot be expressed in words.
Whether we cross "over there" or
whether we remain at home, stead
fastly and determinedly doing our
bit, the spirit that has aroused this
great nation and sent its men and iU
money to fight for the world's future,
will win and the men and the women
of the future will turn to us.
It is bnt natural that this spirit
should be reflected in the literature,
the drama, the screen and the life of
today, and so it is in Judge Willis
Brown's new photoplay in which
clever Jack Ptckford is starring at
the Mexican Theatre Saturday.
Sunihine Comedy in 2-parts will
be shown Saturday with tQn Spirit

CALL TO EDUCATE.
Board of Education Urges Giving
Children Beat Possible Advant
ages to Meet After-War
Demands.
Conscious of the crlsal times In
which 'we live and realizing that
we must take every precaution
possible to prevent depletion of
leadership in the coming days,
we call upon the progressive people
of Alamance, a people far-fa.nea
for their interest In educational
matters, to keep their children in
school and to sea to it thrt t*ie,
schools run on full time.
We are part of the world war,
and justly so. But let us not grind
our seed-corn in this time. Wc
know that there is a pronounced
labor shortage, and consequently
that the money reward for service
rendered by children is large and
ample. We caution our people
against yielding to thts finincial
temptation. We urge th?m to make
greater sacrifices than ever to give
their children the best possible
school advantages, that, when vic
tory crowns our arms ana the work
of reconstruction begins, there may
oe capable leaders, Droad viaionetf
and great souled, to rebuild the
world on enduring foundations of
lasting stability.
Let our public schools, both
of grammar and high school grade,
and our colleges, be liberally sup
ported by our peop'e thi» year.
Such a policy will guarantee in
perpetuity tha dear-bough': free
dom to be achieved for us by
our gallant fighting forces in the
world conflict.

A NORTH CAROLINA ROAD CON-
FERENCE
At Wrightsviile Bca:h, August 7, 8
and 9, 1918.
EVKRV PHOGKBBUVB NOHTH
CAROLINIAN HAS A VITAL
15ITKBKMT IN THIS
CONVEHKNC'b
There is perhaps no more diffi
cult or vital problem facing our
people todav than that of trans
portation. For years the inability
of the railroads to hattlle the busi
ness consigned to tne Atlantic
ports has beeu recognized. The
result of this has been frequent
embargoes. To relieve the situa
tion, and, in geuoral, to prevent
waste in transportation, the Hail
road's War Board was established
shortly after we entered the war.
Tho results have been excellent
and wo aro now handling grout
volumes of freight with a measure
of success.
We have not yet reached the
maximum point in freight trans
portation however. With tho ever
growing number of troops sent
abroad, there must be a tremend
ously increased amount of sup
plies transferred, first to the At
lantic Seaboard and then to Eu
rope. One of the chief concerns
of those in local authority in the
Slates is to solve tho question of
local transportation of the vast
quantities of food and other pro
duets, to the railroads. In this
situation, it is the part of wisdom
lo take stock of all our trans
portation resources in order that
wo may know what alternative
facilities are available; how they
may be used in case of emergency;
and what steps should be taken
now to put them iu condition for
maximum use.
Obviously, the waterways and
highways are the two remaining
agencies of transportation now
available. Sub committees of the
Council of National Defense are
also working on the waterway
problem. To a limited extent,
this committee is looking into the
use of highways, particularly as
they serve as feeders to the water
way system. The highway prob
lem, howeyer, is so large that it
requires special study and should
be regarded at the present its an
emergency war measure.
Already many of thegreat trunk
highways of the North are help
ing to solve the transportation
problem for hundreds of Indus
tries which wonld have been crip
pled by rail congestion. In the
transportation of farm products
the public highways play a vital
part. If our systems of highways
are not kept up to a maximum
efficiency, it is entirely possible
that food stuffs, which should go
to Europe, may rot on the farm
for lack of adequate transporta
tion, and that our fighting strength
overseas may be seriously affected
because of the difficulty of get
ting munitions from the inland
factories to the seaboard.
North Carolina, as one of the]
seaboard States, has an especial
duty in respect to the highway
situation. She may be called upon
to furnish highways of such
strength as can transport troops
aud supplies. In any event, the
highways of North Carolina will
play a most vital part in our
State's progress; aud it is the pre
eminent duty of the men of this
generation to see to it that our
State will be in a position to take
her place among the most progres
sive and prosperous of our sister
States in the wonderful era which
will undoubtedly follow the war.
Keen competition is ahead of all
peoples, and we want to start in
this race with a solid foundation
of honest and efficient achieve
ment.
The North Carolina Good Roads
Convention which will be held at
YVrightaville Beach, August 7, 8
and 9, will offer an opportunity
for our most progressive citizens
to get tpgether and discuss the
problems of road construction and
maintenance; and arrive at some
general policy through which our
State can perform her duty not
only in the present crisis, but
also fulfill her obligations to the
foture.

ANNUAL DELIVERY BILL A
MILLION.
Elimination of Useless Delivery Being
Promoted by Food Administra
tion—Col. Bob Reinhardt
A Champion.
Raleigh, July 9.—The annual ex
pense of delivering groceries and
other merchandise in the cities and
towns in North Carolina is well
over a million dollars, according
to officials of the food admin.stra
tion who have been investigat.ng
the problem and who declare that
more than half this expense is un
necessary. 'Scores of stores oper
ating two and three and four de
livery wagons or trucks could dis
pose of all except one, fixing abso
lutely rigid routes and hours of de
livery for their territory.
i he Food Administration from the
very first has encoura/cd the "cash
ana carry" method of doing business
and with the labor shortage becom
ing more ana more acute all the
time it is promoting in every way
possible the elimination of all the
inan power, horse ppwer, gasolene
and other expense of delivery.
State Food Administrator Henry
A. Page's attitude With regard to
the conservation of labor is well
known. No able-bodied man, in
Mr. Page's opinion, has any busi
ness working ut a Job which can
be filled, and Would be gladly fil-l
ed, by patriotic women and girls.
The elimination of one-half the de-
livery service in North Carolina
could be easily accomplished in the
opinion of Mr. Page, anu this would
add several hundred able-bodied
men and boys to the available sup
j>ly of labor which is needed In es
sential industries. This has already
teen accomplished in a large treas
ure by the hotels an! restaurants
through the- substitution of girls
and women for men waiters and by
a similar process in other Indus
trie*. There is a very noticeable
trend in this direction.
Col. R. S. Reinhardt, not only fa
thered a resolution in the recent
conference of County Food Admin
istrators at Raleigh, declaring it
not only the sense of the conference
that all delivery service should be
curtailed to the greatest possible
extent, but he has taken tne nut
ter up with the merchants of his
own town and the stores of Lin
colnton as a whole are putting in
to practical operation Colonel's
ideas. The result will b» o mi
terial addition to the labor supply
available to the farms ani indus
tries of Lincoln county ani Llneoln
ton.
Similar movements are in prog
ress in other cities and counties of
the State and there is little doubt
'but that the propaganda and Influ
ence of the Food Administration,
the determined fight 'upon the pa.-t
part of Oov. Bickett and Blite offi
cials, and the recent " Work or
Flsht" order of General Crowd-r
will have ,ji wholesome effect,
Negro Worked Whiles to Help (be
Red Cross.
Moorosville Enterprise.
Calvin Ramsey, a well known
negro character of Ihe Ma/.eppa
neighborhood, has made quite a
reputation as a Red Cross fund
raiser. Several weeks ago he was
at one of the stores at Mount Ulla
and a number, of white men there
knew of Cal> love of ' cutting the
pigeon's wing," and doing other
stunts in the way of fancy danc
ing. They induced him to cut a
few figures and gave him a nickel
rpiece. After his dancing, the
white inen began teasing Cal about
matching for coca-cola. The
darkey objected to that but pro
posed that every man there put
something in the Red Cross box,
and insisted that every time he
put in a nickel the white folks
drop in a dime. Cal's banter was
accepted aud the nickels and
dimes began to jingle in the little
mite box. Soon Cal raised the
limit to 10 cents and then 25 cents,
in all raising about $.lO before his
white friends wore "broke."
In a few days Cal returned to
Ml. Ulla and began to tease his
white friends aud chafe ihetn be
cause they had "letthoold nigger]
break them." lie pulled his
proposition the second time and
raised practically 930 again. At
any rate, the Red Cross is better
off by tOO ou account of Cal's lib
eral hearted perseverance.
