PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY WM. C. HAMMER, EDITOR Asheboro, N. C, July 22, 1915. Mr. Roy Cox will be connected with The Courier after this issue r.nd will have charge of the paper. Mr. W. F. HunsucRer will continue as circulation manager and Miss Nannie Lambert will remain with the paper during the vacation taken by Miss Massah Lam bert. When will the European war end? Nobody knows. There are those who claim the end is not far off, that Ger many cannot hold out much longer, that her resources are well nigh ex hausted, while there are others who claim that Germany's resources are inexhaustible, and that the war will go on for years. FIXING UP MINERAL SPRING Mr. J. T. Winslow, the principal owner of the Back Creek Mountain Mineral Springs has had Mr. Clark at the springs for two days r.t work and has by the use of concrete made needed improvements. The arrange ment now is sanitary and the spring is enclosed in concrete walls and the water flows through a pipe inserted in the concrete wall through which the water flows from the encased spring. POSTAL SERVICE RECORD GOOD The administration of the Postoffice Department during the Wilson regime has been better than it ever was be fore. The postal service has been greatly improved under Mr. Burleson, The Democrats have gotten closer to the people, and brought the produc er of food supplies closer to the con sumer. In that way the movement from the farm to the table has grows. Assistant Postmaster General, Dan iel C. Roper, -who by marriage and col lege training is a North Carolinian, by birth South Carolinian, was re cently asked the following questions "Has the Department brought about closer relations between the producer and the consumer of foodstuffs through the parcel post?" "The farm-to-table feature of the parcel post has received special at tention," answered Mr. Roper. On being asked if the postal service is on a better basis now than when the Democrats took charge, be said: 'The present yen has brougnt a targe falling off in postal revenue, due to (be European war, and the consequent deficit is not an indication of imper fect administration. The amount of the deficit, however, is much smaller than it v ouW have been if the most iiftrenuous efforts had not been made to reduce expenditures so far as prae- tically consistent with good tervk. ENGLAND OWNS CENTURY OLD ' Threat Britain has in reserve a Weap on of war which she has not yet dared to use, but which if she should nse, ot only tie prstent bat war fcr I1 time would be ended. It is spoken of as "Dunonald's Destroyer." Only a few highly placed persons know what this weapon is. She was on the point of nsing it against Napoleon and again in the Crimean war, but both times her rul ers drew back shuddering and refused to "shock humanity." But if the worst should come to the worst she may draw it from its century old hiding place, and the most ghastly horrors yet known in warfare will seem hu mane in comparison with it. It was invented by Thomas Cochrane, tenth earl of Dunonald, who twice offered it to the British Government. A com mittee was twice appointed to pass upon it. They reported that his de vice was irresistable and infallible either on land or sea. They urged, however, that it not be adopted, as it was too efficient, too destructive, that its devastation would be too inhuman. Dunonald died in 1860. His plans are still in the archives of the British war office, and it is possible that should the war take a turn disastrous to Great Britain, it may be brought out and made the final weapon in an Armageddon. This would end the war, and not merely the present war but war for all time; as with all the world in possession of a device with which armies and fleets and fortress es could be annihilated in an hour, a device so simple that anyone seeing it once could put it into practice, no nation would ever dare make war, War on such terms would mean anni hilation for victor as well as vanquish ed. The question is: Will Great Britain dare to shock humanity by bringing this monstrous device out to annihi late her enemy and so forever put an end to war? Practically the entire membership of the North Carolna Socety of Wash ngton last Saturday attended the fu neral of Dr. J. A. Holmes, at the Church of the Covenant a Washington. Cne of the most elaborate floral off erings was sent by the University of . North Carolina.' NOTICE OF FARMERS' INSTITUTES There will be held in this county only two Farmers' Institutes this year, owing to scarcity of funds in this de partr.ient.

You may expect good talkers at thesa places, men that are alive to the needs of our farmers. So come while its all free, for at one time this information would have cost thou sands of dollars.

Varner was re-elected president of the North Carolina Good Roads Association at the meeting of that association at Asheville last week TO THE FARMERS OF RANDOLPH COUNTY There will be nine meetings held in Randolph county, beginning on Mon day night August 2nd, for the pur pose of discussing with you the im portance of growing winter legumes. and other winter cover crops, for the I PurPe oi ma purpose of maintaining soil fertility, ganic matter in the soil without which crops cannot be grown at a profit. The speakers will not only give you valuable information as relates to the benefit derived from these crops, but they will tell you how to grow them, when to plant them, and where to get the seed. These meetings can be made of great value to the farmers, but in or der that you may be benefitted, and the agricultural interest of the county improved, it is necessary that every farmer in the county attend the meet ings and you will be benefitted your self, but you may be able to give in formation to some other farmer on some detail of farm management that may be of great help to him. I want to say that I am very greatly interest ed in the development of the farms of this section, and that one of the chief reasons why we as farmers have not been more successful in the past we have I might say refused to work with that co-operative spirit that is necessary for the success of any great enterprise in which more than one man is engaged. Now I hope that the farmers of Randolph county will not allow these meetings to pass unattended, because in them you can get information that will require years of practice to learn. The speakers that will be in these meetings are men who have been suc cessful in practice, and can give you information that is not theory alone, but which has obtained by actual work and results in the field. The places and time the meetings will be held will be as follows: Farmers' meetings will be held as follows: Commencing Monday night at Shady Grove;. Tuesday afternoon at Shiloh. " Tuesday night at Mt Olivet Wednesday afternoon at Why Not Wednesday night at Pisgah. Thursday afternoon at Bombay. Thursday night at Farmer. Friday afternoon at Trinity. Friday night at Liberty. I.

PAUL V. PARKS, A. H. YORK, C. L. BRAY, " Committee. LETTER FROM TEXT CREW Farmville, Va., July 13th. Dear Editor: In appreciation of the many kind nesses Bhown us while we were in your cit, we wish that you would state in the columns of your paper that we thank you all. We especially wish to mention the kindness shown us by Mr. Hammond. Throughout the entire week he was very gracious to us allowing us, es pecially what all tent crews enjoy most, the privilege of a shower. While the last night is the hardest, being the take-down night, in this case it was the easiest. Mr. Hammond invited the six of us to his home after we were through work to have a shower. Well at 2 a. m. we wended our way to the afore said home and were in the midst of the best time when foot steps were heard above. Behold . our host Mr. Hammond appeared in the door, for in the midst of our fun we had awakened our noble host. Now we can't eay how any of us were clad, but being boys, our noble host invited us to a bounteous lunch. Ham, toast, crack- peanut butter, stood staring at us. Needless to say it didn't last long with an insistent host. Thinking we were still starving Mr. Hammond started to search the larder, behold out come two gallons of milk, jelly, peach es, apples and everything Mr. Ham mond could find. Such a repast! such a crowd of boys! It would take a camera or a skilled painter to portray such as was this assemblage. Quaint ? No, it was oriental, to tell the truth we had best let Mr. Hammond describe the lunch. After we had eaten the larder emp ty we all thanked Mr. Hammond and made our way through the dark to our car where we all slept peaceably while the choo choo slowly pushed us out of Asheboro. We would like to have written soon er but work has prevented us doing o. Because we have made special men tion of Mr. Hammond's kindness, we do net mean to overlook the kindness of those people who so kindly supplied us with fruit and flowers; but such a party as it was will not be forgotten by any of us who were there. With all the apologies to Mrs. Ham mond, we wish you would give this article special attention while we re main, Sincerely and gratefully, W. O. SAYARS, EAYRE B. GRIGG. A. KING LOTZ.
