1,567 Days of
Horror Ended
Uerman Revolution Final Act of Stupendous Drama
During Which Many European Rulers Have been
Stripped of Power and their Dreams uf World
Conquest Completely Shattered.
COST TEN MILLIOX LIVES.
The greatest war in history ended Monday morning. November 1 1,
at 6 o'clock, Washington time, after l,5t7 djys of horror, during
which virtually the whole civilized world has been convulsed.
Announcement of the tremendous event w;is made at the State De
partment at Washington, at 2:45 o'clock Monday morning, and in a
few seconds was flashed throughout the continent by trie Associated
Press.
The terse announcement of the Sute Department did not tell any
thing of the scene at Marshal Hoch's headquarters at the time the ar
mistice was signed. It was stated, however, that at Hve o'clock Paris
time, the signatures of Germany's delegates were affixed to the docu
ument which blasted forever the dreams which embroiled the world in
a struggle which cost, at the very lowest estimate, 1 0,000,000 lives.
It is suggested that William Hoheiuollern is not safe from the conse
quences of his deed, even though he h.is fled to Holland. After the
sinking ol the l.usiunia and during the early days of the aerial raids on
London he was three tunes indicted

WELDDN AVIATOR'S FIRST FLIGHT
Monday, Nov. 4, 1918.
This evening at one o'clock I
started on my first ride. 1 lud on
my flying pajamas, helmet wuh u
talking tube connecting my eir to
the instructor's mouth, and my
goggles nil fixed up nicely. Al
ter examining our ship the Lieu
tenant and I crawled in Then
the mechanic runs in the front ol
the ship and sas, "oft," ih.it is,
that the ignition is off, so he cm
spin the propeller thus tilling me
cylinders with a vaporized mix
ture of gas, so the engine will start
easily. He spins it several times
then says, "contact." The Lieu
tenant says "contaci" and turns
on the ignition. The mechanic
then spins the propeller and the
engine starts. Now came the ex
citing moment, the engine was
warming up and 1 was adjusting
myself and hooking my lite bell,
which is a large belt attached to
the scat and holds you in very
lightly. Before I knew it we were
"taxing" down the field. "Tax
ing" is goingalong the ground, run
ning on the rubber tires. We went
a little faster, then fasterand faster,
until we had enough speed so that
th e reaction of the air on the wings
was greater than the weight of the
machine, thus raising our ship off
the ground. We were going at
the rate of about CO miles per hour
w hen we lift the ground audit was
so smooth and easy that it seemed
more or less like a dream to me
except the continual hum and
noise of our motor. Here we
started climbing higher and higher,
all the lime circling the flying field.
It was a wonderful feeling to be
up in the heavens sailing through
nothing but space with no mud
holes to dodge nor tires to look out
for. After getting about 2,000
feet up we turned toward Ameri
cus which was Hve miles away and
almost before I knew it we were
right on top of the Georgia peach
city. My instructor with a little
sense of humor asked me if warn
ed to stop here and see my girl.
Over the city we went exactly
2,700 feet and did a spiril and a
loop. I thought I was a real bird
then sure enough. Then he be
gan circling about, diving, etc , to
show me the effect of ihe rudder,
ailerons and elevators. The rudder
is the control that turns the ship
ibout its vertical axis, like the
wheel on an auto; the ailerons,
which are on the wins control the
machine laterally, i. e. from tip to
tip; and the elevators control it
longitudinally. The only differ
ence between the controls of in
auto and plane is that the plane

has three axes to control and the
auio has only one. All this detail
explanation may seem rather dry,
but it gives you an idea of the prin
ciples of aeronautics. Afier being
in the air a halt an hour we nosed
down and made a pretty landing
on the field. I forgot to tell you
that the town looked likea little doll
village, the roads of redelay show
ed up very plainly like red ribbon
and ihe fields and woods looked as
if they had been drawn by an ex
pert drattsman. At about 2,000
feet the railroad looked about two
inches wide and everything was
beautiful. 1 noticed when we got
over Americus the very house m
which we took dinner yesterday
and wished for some more of that
good turkey and oysters.
My instructor is Lieut. Stout
and a very nice gentleman. I am
glad I drew a good instructor, for
it means a lot.
All this week I fly in the even
ings and have five hours of classes
in the mornings. This morning
after a three hour class with the
Lewis airplane gun, the gun in
siructor appointed me gun instruc
tor to teach when he was away. 1
took that to be rather nice, but 1
had rather they wouldn't keep me
after 1 get my commission, but
send me to the other side.

HOW TO FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
II? DR. L. W. BOWERS.
Avoid crowds, coughs and cowards,
bat fear neither germs nor Germans I
Keep the system ia good order, take
plenty ol exercise iu the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember a clean
month, a clean skin, and clean bowels
are a protecting armour against disease.
To keep the liver and bowels regular
and to carry away the poisons within,
it ia best to take a vegetable pill every
other day, made up of May-apple, aloes,
Jalap, and sugar-coated, to be had at
most drug stores, known as Dr. Pierce'a
Pleasant Pcllcta. It there is a sudden
onset ol what appears like a hard cold,
one should go to bed, wrap warm, takfl
a hot mustard toot-hmh amf drink copi
ously ol hot lemonade. If pain develop!
In head or back, ask the druggist lor
Anurio ( anti-uric ) tablets. These will
flush the bladder and kidneys and carry
oil poisonous germs. To control tbo
pains and aches take one Anuria tablet
every two hours, with frequent drinks ol
lemonade. The pneumonia appears in
a most treacherous way, when the innu
enta victim is apparently recovering and
anxious to leave his bed. In recovering
Irom a bad attack ol influenza or pneu
monia the system should be built up
with a good herbal tonio, such as Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made
without alcohol from the roots and barka
ol American forest trees, or hia Irontia
(iron tonic) tablets, which can be ob
talned at saoat drug stores, or send 10c.

WILLIAM W. lihICKELL.
Anodic Halifax Hoy Mas Paid
Ihe Supreme Sacrifice.
The sad news has reached us
that William W. Hriekell. the eldest
son of Mr H. Brickell and his
wife. Mrs. Irene .Moselcy Brickell,
was so badly wounded inaction in
France, on ihe 1 7 rh day of Octo
ber last, that he died in a short
lime afier reaching the hospital
. er there. This is another death
at brings the war very close to us.
Hilly Brickell, as all of us knew
him, was thirty-three years old
October the 6th, 1918. He was a
member of Company L:. Iltlih
Intantry of the American Lxpedi-
lionary Porces in Prance.
U'hile the great mass of our peo
ple have suffered little inconve
nience by reason of the war, and
while many have actually grown
richer and richer by reason of con
ditions which it has brought about,
this young man, the hope of his
parents and iheprideof his friends,
has paid in full and to the limit, the
debt of a soldier. In hours like
iliis, one stumbles over the ways
of Providence until the thought is
borne upon us that it is not how
long a man lives, but how well he
lives. Measuring this young sol
dier by that standard, his life was
as full and well rounded as if he
had lived out a man's allotted time.
He has given the full measure of
a patriot to a cause that is just as
holy as any for which men ever
sirove.
When we come to think who he
was, on both sides of his ancestry,
ihere will be no surprise that he
was not afraid on ihe battlefield.
He was a type of our best stock.
The older citizens will remember
his grandfather, whose name he
bore, Mr. Uilliam W. Brickell,
whose life waS another name for
uprigntness, integrity and dignity,
and whose sons had a part in the
Civil war, more ihan fifty years
ago. So when his country called
last year, every one knew that
there would be Brickells in the line.
It was our fortune to know him
from his youth. He was of hand
some face, splendid figure and had
a disposition of the gentlest ele
ments. His life was quiet and he
was one of the props to his parents
as the shadow of age began to
creep upon them.
His education was in the schools
of the county and at Buie's Creek
Academy. While ihere he made
a profession of faith and united
with the Baptist church. His con
duct was consistent and exempla
ry, he was faithful to his religious
duiies, and he adorned the life
which he lived, devoted tn his
father and mother, sisters and
brothers, and their friends every
where would wish that they might
share this burden that has come
upon them.
And when the end came, what
more can any one wish ? He died
not in the glare of public life, but
as a private soldier, safe in the
salvation for which his Saviour
died. His name is on the Honor
Roll of his country and he belongs
to the ages just as truly as if he had
been among those who lead instead
of among those who followed.
It will be a loving duty of those
who remained at home to keeD in
tender memory the name of Wil
liam W. Brickell. His father and
mother have been greatly honored
when this vounu soldier wx re
counted worthy to have made the
supreme sacrifice.
An average woman doesn't care
anything about the silver linings of
clouds if only her own gowns is
silk lined.
Lots of Folks who come into the
world with neither wealth nor in
telligence manage to hold their
own from start to finish.

Old folks all over the country will say that one bottle of GFNIIINI:
INDIAN BLOOD PURIFIl-R is worth dozens of these new-fangled
concoctions so apt to be full of dope.
"Genuine Indian Blood PuriHer," is the name by which a certain
old formula of the Indians has come lo be known, and it is said there
is but one concern in the country in a position to manufacture il. A
bottle or two in severe cases of stomach, kidney, blood or bladder trou
ble work wonders apparently, and testimonials to its merit run away
back to Daniel Boone and Jackson's time.
The Weldo" Drug Company have recently secured a stock of Gen
uine Indian Blood Purifier and anyone feeling anaemic, weak, nervous
rundown and lacking rich, red blood would do well to pay a visit to
iliis progressive store and see a bottle. It is put up with great care
from fresh herbs, roots and berries, gathered and prepared in the old
Indian way by the PHARSON RliMLDY COMPANY, of Burlington,
N. C, which is a guarantee of freshness, full strength and quality.
