SHOULD BE SETTLED AT HOME.
There arc some matters of legis
lation that ahou! I be settled >y tli
counties through their Board of
County Commissioners. M my mil
ters are settled and fixed by the
county authorities as the law now
stands; there are others in which
the conditions are* best knoivn dt
home and affcet the people of the
home county onlv.
We have in mind the payment
of county official* for ser\ iced.
In the past four years everything
has advanced In price. Tho coat
of living has vastly increased--
more than doubled in many in
stances. The officer who was Serv
ing at a fixed salary before th 1 ?
war begun and during the war has
been hard pressed to 'jreuk even.
There was no relief for him except
through legislative enactment.
Employees in all the various
walks of life had an avenue opened
to them to arrange terms to meet
extraordinary conditions, ex
cept those serving at a salary fix
ed by the State Legislature. For
the latter there was no relief. Thli
condition makes it the more imper
ative that the luw ahould lie
amended so us to give the county
authorities some latitude in fix'nrj
the pay of those chosen to serve
the public.
The county wants and requires
competent officials t-i attend i >
county affairs, Just u i>»i do other
large businesses, and in order to
secure competent men, it is ne;- •«
sary to pay salaries sufficient to
induce them t > t ike tip the ser
vice.
As compared with any other b.t;.»
ness where efficient men ar- re
quired to handle the affairs, county
officials nre poorly paid.
The present Legislature should to
amend and mnke flexible tti • law
for the entire Btate th'it
the county authorities, niav make
changes to meet conditions rt'li-n
necessary.

Washington.—After a week of j
spirited debate, the senate by a vote
of 63 to 18, passed the administra
tion bill appropriating $100,000,000
for food relief in Europe and the
near-east. The fund was requested
by President Wilson as a means of

against liberal tendencies. The so
cial democrats were badly beaten and
the extreme radicals received little or
no support.
Reports ti results in Germany

providing for committees on labor, re
sponsibility for the war, reparation
for damages and porta, railways and

Camille Huysmans, In behalf ol

BRITISH TITLE WISHED ON
GENERAL JOHN J. PERSHING
New York.—"The British Who'i
Who," a copy of the 1919 issue of
which has just been received here,
lists the commander in chief of the
American expeditionary forcea in
France a« "General Sir John Joseph
Pershing, G. C. B."
On July 17, 1018, King George
awarded the grand cross of the Order
of the Bath to General Pershing and
In August King George during a visit
to France personally gave the decora
tion to him. The award of the grand
cross of the Order of the Bath to a
British subject automatically makej
a knight of the recipient and gives
him the right to prefix "Sir" to hia
name. I
The decoration given General Per
shing. however, was an honorary one
and it was said at the time that the
American commander would not re
ceive the title of "Sir" as he was not
a British Subject.

-I* ______
Cambon Pats Little Fellows on the
Back and Soon Brings Order Out
of Threatened Chaos.
The peace conference made a dis
tinct gain when the 19 small powers
gave fpll adhesion to the organiza
tion formulated by the five great pow
ers at the outset of the work of the
main subjects before the members of
the commission.
This was largely due to the skillful
direction of Jule« Cambon, French
delegate, who waa designated by the
council of UiJ great powers to preside
over the moeeting of the small pow
ers.
M. Cambon, in opening the meeting
took occasion to allude to the part
Belgium had taken in the war. He
then paid a tribute to the part played
by Serbia, Rumania, Greece and the
others. This dissipated any lingering
shadows of disagreement and the
meeting proceeded with entire har
mony to designate the membership of
the small powers on the commission.
In the meantime the council of the
powers held two sessions dur-
I ing the day, resulting in the forma
tion of two new commissions to deal
with fthancial subjects and the ques
tion of private and maritime laws.
Henry White, the American dele
gate on the waterways commission,
. also established relations with his
; colleagues of that body.
| Thus, real progress on all the main
I subjects is becoming apparent as the
' commissions are beginning to formu
late detailed projects for presentation
to the conference.

My wifu suffered agonies from
those dull, heavy, dragging pains

by the K. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company, now residing at R. F.
I). No. 5, South Winston. She
wps in terrible'misery for a long
timo and nothing wo ever did
brought any relief. Her nerves
were all' on edge and she would
roll and toss all trght without any
sleep. Any sudden noise would
make her jump.
Several friends advised us to
try Dreco. She took three bot
tles and has improved fioniithe
very start. Now her nerves are
steady and sho has never had a
pain in her back any more. Hut
she is going to take another bot
tle just to make sure.
Most women lead a confined,
monotonous life, narrowed down
to the fqur walls of homo the
greater part of the day. Such
women seem to be an easy prey
to nervous attacks, sleeplessuess
and the one hundred and one
other little ailments so common
to their sex. Dreco is declared lo
bo just wfiat such nervous, de
pressed persons, need to restore
their nervous einergy and to lift
them out of their constipated, dys
peptic habits of life.,
Dreco works to counteract the
exhaustiong strain of work by its
strong inducements to the deli
cate tissues to take more food. It
plainly induces the nerves and
brain to feed themselves more
liberally; and thus can save count
less men and women from chronic
iiHitmlgia, rheumatism, sleepless
ness",~fili)inir mental power and
digestive disorders.
Dreco is purely vegetable and
is recommended as a quick, natu

It was during the heavy fighting
eastward from Chateau Thierry, that
the men of the 100 th Machine Qun Bat

the sweet chocolate which the Y. M.
C. A. managed to get to them, was
specially welcome.
The battalion reached the Vesle riv

line held. Men were thrown across
the river by various unlta to keep In
contact with the enemy. There was
terrific fighting all along the line. A
platoon of Company D was hurried
over to help In holding the narrow
strip that' had beep taken at great cost
by the American soldiers. It waa Mr

the month ef November by the Army
and Navy Y. M. C. V for the use
of the American Expeditionary Forces.
A statement to this effect baa Just

the demand for supplies of this char

that hostilities have ceased.
In exact figures the value of the
supplies shipped to France was $3,-
ItS.SOPtnd each month's )uota will ap

overseas have been materially reduced
by demobilisation.
The demand for tobacco, cigars and

the armistice was signed, as witness
the fact that $1,361,000 of the total
amount went for the purchase of the

800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander Evangeline Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.
Commander Evangeline Booth, lead- I
er of the Solvation Army fh the Unit*
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 800 additional, war
work' women for France. The request
Is contained In a report Just received
by her from Col. William A. Barker
of the Salvationist forces, whom «he
sent to France over a year ago to es
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
"We will do all wc can to All this
demand," said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, "and the need
Itself should Impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the war relief work of the seven or
ganizations, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for n drive for
funds. Each is a vital cog In a vast
machine for human relief, and each la
lndlspenslble, serving Its particular
elements In Its own way.
"The Salvation Army was born In
hardship, reared In privation and j
trained to every phase of human mis- j
ery and how to cope with It Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we'are thankful.
"We are of the common people, and
we toil on a pVactlcal basis. We learn
ed the lesson of how to do It In the
Boer war, when we stood at the side
of Britain's troops and weathered It
