Altamahaw Boy Writes His Mother From France. The following is a copy of a let ter received by Mrs. Lean Herbin, widow, living at Altaraahaw, from her son, Charles Cleveland Her bin, who is a corporal in Co. I, 120 th Inf. 60th Brig., 30th Div., Somewhere in France: With the British Expeditionary Forces Somewhere in France, Aug. 13, 1918. Dear Mother: I will answer your letter which, I received today. I thought yon had forgotten me. This was the third letter 1 had received since I landed and I have written to you every week, and sometimes more. When you write you don't write but a page or two and you do not have anything to say about what is going ou around there. You know I am not allowed to tell what is going on over here. We have just gotten back from the front line trenches. We did not lose a single man. We stayed up there sixteen days. I think we were lucky. They a'l say that I company is the luckiest com pany iu the outfit, but I expect the luck will change some time. Hog Adams lost a couple of his fingers, but it wa? done accident ally. George Mclntire told me about Gertrude getting married a few days ago. If times over there were like they are over here there would not be any marrying. I know there is not and hope Uier. will never be. This country is ii just as bad shape as tho papert say it is. It can't bo misrepre sented^ You ask me if I need anything in the knitting line. I don't guess I do. I still have my sweater. I could handle a pair of gloves but I wouldn't want you to go to the trouble of sending them. I would have to see the captain before you could send them and I guess I can make it all right. People over hero have just started to cut wheat. Ido not know when they thresh; they have all got good crops. I have seen lots of towns over here larger than Greensboro torn all to pieces and no one living in them at all, the graveyards blown Up and the churches torn down, but still I think it will all be over pretty soon. Everybody over here is looking for Sammies to wind it up; he has got a.lot of soldiers over here. Well, all the boys from around home are getting along all right. I will close this time, with best wishes to all from your son. Tell grandma that I hope this will find her well and getting along all right. Charles Cleveland Ilerbin is a grand-son of Sergeant Duke Mar tindale, who was a color sergeant in the civil war, and lived iu Gra ham many years. The Livestock Problem. P. G. Holden, Inetrnational Har vester Co. Estimates published by the U. S Food Administration shows that there are 1X5,000 000 fewer meat animals in the world today than there were in- the year preceding the beginning of the war. White the increase in cattle in ths Uniteu States war 7,090 000, the total worfo decrease was 28,000 000. Shaep de creased 3,000 000 in the niUted Statef and 54,500,000 in the world. Horjf have increased 6,275,000 in the U. S., but throughout the world their number has decreased 32,425 000. The close of the war will find Eu rope almost barren of meat ana dairy animals, and with the annual production of meat and dairy prod ucts decreased to a starting ex tent. If we would profit by this oppor tunity me must correctly grasp thr enormous world demand for meat, dairy and breeding animals and meat and dairy products which must continue for many years after peace is proclaimed. It will take several years to suf ficiently increase the herds ana flocks of America, and those of u« who have the right vision w:|l ne gin at once to bring about this in crease. This opportunity is specially pre sented to the Southern States, where the cattle tick has preventeo the successful raising of bc?f and dairy cattle. If every Southern Stat? woul a compel the use of the dipping vat and get rid of the tick, the natural advantages in the way of nn'ld cli mate and long growing season would make the South the greatest beef and dairy section of the world MAKES RAPID HEADWAY Add This Fart to Your Mtore of Knowledge.

TERSE REJECTION OF PEACE FEELER PRESIDENT WILSON MA Kit SHORT WORK OF GERMAN TRICK PROPOSAL. THE ONLY REPLY POSSIBLE ■mphasls of Answer la Doubled by Length of Tim* Consumed In Ita Delivery. Washington.—The United State*, aa was fully expected, has uncondition ally rejected Germany'* peace fealer. In doing so, the jovernment ha* *pok en for all the cb-belllgerents. Almost immediately after receiving the Austrian government's note from the minister from Sweden, Mr. liken gren, Secretary Lanslnjg issued thla formal statement: , "I am authorlied by the President to state that the following will be the reply of this government to the Aus tro-Hungarlan note proposing an unof ficial conference of belligerents: "'The government of the United State* feel* that there 1* only one re ply of thla government to the Austro- Hungarian government. It hae repeat, edly and with entire candor stated tha terms upon which the United States would consider peace and can and will entertain no proposal for a con ference upon a matter concerning which It ha* made ita poiitlon and purpose so plain.'" Mr. Laming'* statement wa* given out .within half an hour after he had received the Austrian proposal.- It would have been forthcoming almost immediately upon the delivery of the Austrian note had it not been found necessary in order to avoid the possi bility of grave error to make a care ful comparison between the official text and that which was received In news dispatches last night from Am sterdam. Thus, emphasis was added to the declination, if any were needed, the quickness of the reply Indicating the existence of no shadow of doubt In the mind of the administration as to what it sholud be. Aa soon as Mr. Lansing's reply can be gut In form It will be handed to the Swedish minis ter for transmission to Austria. County Needs More Teachers—State ment of Interest to Profession. The County Superintendent is in receiptor the following infotmo tion rrom the Secretary of the State Board of Examiners and In stitute Conductors: 1. The rule passed August 31, 1918. "That a War Emergency Teach er's Certificate, valid in a par ticular school or district, may be issued upou the application of a teacher, the recommendation of the superintendent, and the state ment of the superintendent that such certificate is necessary to enable the work in this school to continue this year. Such certifi cate will be valid only in the school or district specified in the application and on the face of the certificate." 2. A letter to Superintendent*. "I beg to call your attention to a rule passed by the State Board of Examiners and Institute Con ductors on AagUßt 81, 1918f copies of which are enclosed here with. "It is the understanding of the Board that this War Emergency Certificate is to be issued only to those teachers who are not able to meet the technical qualifica tions in regard to certificates and institute attendance. It is further understood that this certificate is .to be the last resort and as an emergency measure to prevent the closing of some schools which otherwise could not run with teachers qualified to teach. "When this emergency,certifi cate has been issued it will au thorize the holder to teach any subject in the school named in the application and written in the face of the certificate, but in no other school. "Special blanks for the use of teachers in making application for the War Emergency Certifi cate have been prepared and for warded under separate cover to all Superintendents and must be used iu securing this certificate. Please advise your teachers to this effect, and see that each one whom you desire to rdfeomtnend for this certificate bo supplied with this blank. If you cannot recommend the applicant in ac cordance with the terms set forth in the application blank, advise the applicant accordingly, so that unnecessary work and disappoint ment may be avoided." The County Superintendent in forms us that he is in need of about forty teachers. Most of the places open now are one-teacher schools; bnt there are still a few vacancies in the three and four teacher schools. There aro three schools in need of a principal who can teach high school subjects. Those interested in teaching, or who are willing to teach as a pa triotic duty, would do well to see the County Superintendent, Dr. P. 11. Fleming, at an early date. Teach or* who were once in the school work and have not taught for a few years are invited and urged to enter the teaching pro fession again. We must not let onr school interest big in those crisal times.
