Falls To Get Still.
On Sunday and Monday Sheriff H.
A. Kearney made two raids for whis
key stills, with the result on Monday
of getting to the spot Just a little too
early and had to content himself with
seeing three parties run away from
the scene before he could get close
enough to Identify them and destroy
ing over three hundred gallons of
beer. This raid, was made on Red
Bad Branch not far from the re ar ot
the residence occupied last year by a
Mr. ParrIsh.so we learn. From what
Could be seen everything was In read
iness for Jt. run and possible many
runs had been made at the place.
Quite a number of empty sugar sacks
were found around the place. The
Sheriff seems to think he has the par
ties and their actions sufficiently spot
ted to be able to trap them before very
long if they persist in following this
business.
On Sunday the Sheriff was busy with
a search for a still In HarriB township,
tut only found old still sites with no
evidence of life.
Sheriff Kearney was assisted on
these trips by Mr. B. H. Meadows,
the efficient officer of the Are depart
ment of Louisburg.
i
Loulsburpr to Have "War Angelus."
At the regular meeting of the Red
Cross Chapter last week, a committee
v:?s appointed to see the Mayor, Mr. L.
L, Joyner, and tell hinrthat it was
the unanimous desire of the members
of itits Chapter that" "Louisburg have
a prujer-bell or "War Angelus," to be
rung each afternoon as long as the
war contiuued, as a silent call to pray
er for the Allied cause and the victor
ious return of our American soldiers
from overseas. The Chapter was
much gratified Wednesday to learn
from the committee that Mr. Joyner
had expressed his approval of the
plan, and would arrange to have the
Court House bell rung each afternoon
at seven o'clock. This method of a
daily call to prayer will go far towards
solemnizing the minds of the people
and stirring them to a keener sense
of their duty. Of course innumerable
prayers are going up dally from^ all
pver the land for & victorious end to
the war, and safety for our soldiers
and sailors if the divine purpose per
mits, but the "War Angelus" plan is
one of great beauty, and will be a
source both , of strength and of com
fort. It? should be universally adopt

To the Red Cross of Louisbnrg, >'. C.
Dear Friends:?We wish to take
this time, and space to thank you for
those comfort bags you so freely, and
gladly gave us soldier boys on the 25th
of May, as we took our leave for.Camp
Jackson, S. C.
In those bags we find many useful
things we soldier boys need, but most
of all, a little Testament, the word of
God. We find most of the boys from
Franklin county using these Testa
ments before going to bed at night.
And that mr.kes us want to write and
thank you tor t lie Comfort we find in
those bags.
As we boys here at camp think of
the good women of Franklin County,
knowing they are on their knees
praying to Ood, to be merciful to us
as soldiers, and to bring us back home
soon.
Again we thank you good women for
those comfort bags.
Yours truly,
JOHN W. NEATj.

M. C. Pleasants Made Connty Food Ad
ministrator.
Mr. M. C. Pleasants has been ap
pointed County Food Administrator
for Franklin County, with Mr. J, C.
Jones, assistant. This change was
made on account of the fact that Mr.
Jones was not convenient to, telegraph
and that his farm duties was consum
ing practically all of his time, and at
his request Mr. Page consented and
made the new appointment. This will
be a very busy office when the Food
inspectors begin work In tho county i
and It will no doubt keep both of
them busy. Mr. Jones has made an
exceptional officar and we have no
doubt but that Mr. Pleasants will make
an equally efficient.official.

failure of the Austrian offensive in the

mown in Italian official statements, it
ty believed that the Italians have ev
ery prospect of restoring the position
on the Plave. where alone the endmy
scored some success.
The British held the post of honor
la the mountains and how well they
rose to the occasion is proved by the
remark of a correspondent "that the
results of the enemy attack suggest
that It was the British who carried out
the most successful offensive."
The Austrians undoubtedly hoped to
sweep into the plains and crush Italy,
^but the latter's achievement iA resist
ing the first onslaught is assurance
that Bhe is capable of detending her
position.
The Germans are not likely to per
