Convicted of Burning Lumber to ''Collect Insurance. In the prosecution of Gre fiend* in North Carolina for the suppression of ipcendiary fire* that greatly in crease the annual fire waste in this state, another point is just scored by the state insurance department in tue conviction of Martha Fain, at Murphy, charged with implication in the burning of many thousand feet of lumber to collect excessive insu rance. This is the case in which Deputy Insurance Commissioner F. U. Jordan worked up the evidence that included the matching of sheets of waste paper usef in starting the fire that were taken from a catalogue of a well known mail order house. A copy of the catalogue was found in the house of the woman and it had the pages in question missing, this affording effective circumstantial evi dence. , Alleged spies, declared to have been in tha net bf flashing mes sage* to sea from an isolated spot near Virginia Beach, werj arrest ed Wednesday night by secret ser vice men.

Sixty of ut boy*, making up the quota for Alamance county, en trained for thia camp on the morn fcig of July 25th, and after travel ing for about SI hours reached our destination safely. The Jour ney was tiresome but enjoyed by all of us. The Ked Cross Societies treateo us nicely, especially while passing through North Carolina. Men of other counties of North Carolina boarded the train at almost every station until we left the state. We arrived at camp about aix o'clock on Friday mornings and were given splendid accommodations. We were initiated into army life and were given uniforms in a few days after arriving. The 2Srd company is composed exclusively of Alamance and Guil ford county boys, there being 150 men in this company at present. We boys have been put In the R. R. D. Station of that camp for a period of three weeks during which time each man is given the initiatory training Aid treatment with the pupose of making a full fledged soldier of him. We fouud In Camp Hancock a corps of officers that cannot be excelled for ability, generosity and kindness. The Tarheel boys aro very ambitious and vigorous at all times' to do the work of drilling and fitting themselves for the great task before us, that of '• jet ting the Huns." The Tarheel boys In the R. R. D. are near the ' top in all athletic sports. I am sending a little clip ping taken from our camp paper in regard to our Tarheel baseball team, as follows: Baseball Challenge : The team representing the 23rd R. R. 1). here by issues a challenge to any team in the recruiting depot. So far we have won nine games and claim the pennant until beat. We are open for ganes with any company. Below -is a list of the playeTs. Lieut. H. H. Latture from Penn sylvania is shortstop. C. Euliss, p. H. Shepherd, c. Sgt. L. Home wood, Ist b. S. Miles, 2nd b. O. Clark right fields Putnam, center field. Dameron, left field. Corporal N. L. Hill from Masaa sutts, Manager. Subs., Allred, Huffman, Webster. Six of these men are from Ala mance county, namely: Clark, Eu liss, Shepherd, Horaewood, Damer on and Miles. Camp Hancock is one of the largest machine gun camps in the South, located five miles south of Augusta, Ua. It is estimated that there are 60,000 soldiers in training in this camp, In which we have a number oj branches of military ser vice. Thia camp has all the modern conveniences for the men in khaki, canteens, barber shops, laundries etc. The Y. M .C. A. is doing much good ftft- the religious welfare of/ the men. The Chatham county soldier boys are Just a qjiort distance from the 23rd company and we see them al most daily. They seem to be lik ipg military life very well. Personally, I am liking camp life much better than I expected. The men are well fed with whole some food. For dinner today we had baked chicken, potatoes, beans, chocolate cake,, ice cream and lem onade. What better dlQner could any soldier ask for? Our sleeping quarters are as con venient as we could desire. The days are very hot here but the nights are cool and pleasant. . We can sleep very pleasantly after do ing our daily tasks. ' There is not anything that cheers the and Chatham boys more than to get letters from their old friends in North Carolina, es pecially from lady friends. I close for this time and if this escapes the waste basket perhaps I will write again. Best wishes to all the readers of The Grit. OLIVER CLARK, 23rd Co. R. R .D., Camp Hancock, Georgia. Interesting Sugar Item. The present household sugar ra tion—with little chance of increase —is two pounds a month in Ameri ca, two pounds in England, and one arid one half pounds in France. Sugar bowls h«ve been banished from American dining cars—a trav eler is served his portion of sugar und no more. Naval officers and their families who buy at commissary stores have gone on the honor system of sugar purchase established by the Foua Administration for civilians. Many of the larger hotel* in the country are using no cane sugar in pastries and desserts. Vessel* sailing from New York In , June were out more than to percent in their sugar requisitions, to con form to the Food Administration ration. Restaurants and hotels are re stricted to two pounds of suasr for every ninety mesls served. This In cludes sugar for kitchen as well ss table use. Almost TO percent of all the sugsr consumed in this country is used Vn the households. 8 ; it is up to the women to make the sugar go around.
