in such order that it might quickly be

close behind. The flanks of ti-.e r-dvan

State of War St Ml Exists.
It has been impressed on officors and
men alike that this Is an operation un
der an armistice; that war still exists
and that the possibility remains tl.at at
any time it may be necessary fo~ them,
to play their part with the sa_no grim
ners of the past year.
Fraternization, not only with the
German ooldiers who may be found
eithftr ad straggler* cr volunt\ry pris
oners, but with the civilian population,
has beon 3ternly forbidden. Lcoti-ig
and even souvonir hunting also have
been forbidden the Americans. It has
been plainly imposed upon ti.e P .on
that property Is inviolate r?.n^ that
those porson.-r with whom they come in
rontact must be re^ardod ac enemies.

Meeting at ( onrt Hnu*e.
The colored people of Louishure and
other townships in the County inter
ested in the United War Work Cani
-paign. hold (V Jubilee Mass Mi-L-tinr.
in the Court . Houso on Monday night
and patriotic enthusiasm ran high.
Governor T. W. Bickett was the prin
cipal speaker of the occasion and de
livered a splendid address. The Shady
Grove. Green Hall and Seminary choirs
furnished the music for the occasion
and this music was pronounced by
many to have been the best choir mu
sic ever heard in Louisburg.
The meeting was presided over by
Dr. J. B. Davis, Chairman for the Col
ored People of Louisburg Township
War Work Campaign, assisted by Prot
Geo. C. Pollard and W. M. Alston,
County Secretary and Treasurer res
pectively for the Colored United War
Work Campaign. After Governor Bick
ett's address, Richard Perry and Rev.
John Young made short talks which
brought forth much applause and the
finest spirit possible prevailed through
out the exercises. The colored people
of Louisburg had already raised in the
Mass Meeting addressed by Mr. Z. D.
Dunlap, State Director and Dr. W. M.
Poteat, of Wake Forest College about
$1000.00, but by special request the
subscription li?t was opened on Mon
rlay night after Governor Bickett's ad
Iress and an additional sum of $210.0G
subscribed making u total of cash and
subscriptions contributed by the col
ored people of Louisburg township,
either at these mass meetings or
through the various canvassers, some
thing like $1500.00. Too much cannot
foe said of the generous response of
the colored people of our County to
:hls noble work for our soldiers.

FOOD AND HUMAN LIFE"
"America 1a under direct obligation
to furnish its Allies with 17,600,000
tons of foodstuffs this year, against
12,000,000 tons l&st year. The promise
of tills quantity of foodstuffs must be
fulfilled whether war continues or
not.
If peace should come Amt lea will
be confronted with the responsibility
and will be prompted by every dictate
of humanity? to save from death as
many as possible of the starving mil
lions in Rcuman;;.. Poland. Finland,
end Russia. Literally millions of these
people are doomed to starvation.
Foodstuffs are measured in terms ot
human lives. The person who Is res
ponsible for the waste of food la guil
ty of murder." Women of Franklin
County no not let the prospect-of early
peace hinder you from doing your du
ty as ever In all conservation lines.
I As Thanksgiving and Christmas
draw near, housewives begin to wonder
how they can provide their families
with the usual "sweets." Some of the
host enndy we have tried, is made with
out sugar. Cakes almost as good as
the old fashioned fruit and pound
rakes ran be made with very little
sugnr. The most delicious pqtato
pudding ever eaten was sweetened en
tirely with syrup. We shall be glad
to send out recipes to any Interested
person. ?
Many calls have como lately for a
recipe for canning sweet potatoes. De
low i? the one we use:
Tho Norton Yams or other varieties
of yellow potatoes are host for can
ning. It Is a very good idea to use
thoso which have been cut in diguing.
Do not use cold hurt potatoes. Select
those of medium size. Roil until three
fourths done. Remove peeling. Cat
'n slices three-quarters of an inch
thick; pack the jar full, using only
2 taMcHpoonfuls water in a Jar. Pro
cess quart jar? 3 1-2 hours, pint3 3
hours.

Killed Negro.
Charlie Ayescue, who lives about
five miles above Franklinton. was
brought to' Louisburg Tuesday nlsht
and placed in jail to await a hearing
for killing a negro named Josh Kear
ney. From what we could learn it
seemc that the negro went to Ayescue's
house and loft a message for him M>me
thing to the effect "for him to return
that sugar he stole from my buggy."
When Ayescue arrived and received the
message he .took his shot gun and
went in search of the negro. He found
him at a corn shucking at a neighbor's
and orde-ed everybody out of th?? way
end then tired, with tfie result of killing
Kearmy.
