In every line of business endeavor we are prospering beyond the .. fondest driams of our fathers. 'There has been also a mighty tri umph of spiritual forces in our midst, or which we should be profoundly grateful. The fruits of this victory ar seen in the great forward move ments of all the churches; in the finer educational advantages enjoyed by all the children of the state; in the grow ing demand for complete economic and social justice in taxation and all oth e: matters; and. in the larger oppor tunities offered on every hand to the irjrage man and the average woman. Bigger Conception of Service. "Surely in this day God has given w men every wuere a Digger, nroaaer conception' of Christian service than they ever had before.

Want Our Dead Brought Home. Thousands of persons in North Car olina are interested in the proposition to bring home the remains of the Tar Heel boys buried in foreign countries. Attorney General James S. Man ning, whose son died in France, is anxious to have the body brought home. On account of his efforts the North Carolina senators have been very active in getting the war depart ment to take up the matter, and get some fixed policy. Senator Overman's office was noti fier today that the secretary of the treasury had instructed the public health service to take over Kenllworth inn for a "general hospital." The understanding is that if the government likes the proposition it will purchase the property. Increase in Bank Deposits.

' . ; ' STYEES EVENING FROCKS 5iiy-x;: I 'err: Cm- j ' 1 I l ;;: ml l IimP pIBPIp IraiSl A review of lovely evening gowns nade for the younger set, convinces tis that many a fair lady intends to turn her back upon society this win ter. Let us hope these backs will all be comely and that society , will be regaled with lines that are beautiful and skins that are fair; for society is going to have a chance to pass opin ion upon backs unadorned. It is said that a beautiful back is the rarest of nature's gifts to fair women, and there is a fad for the almost backless bodice. A conservative example of the style In an evening frock of shell pink, is shown above at the right c the two evening gowns pictured. Very wide moire ribbon, matching the net in col or, constitutes what there is of foun dation for the bodice and is, featured in a sash with a wide Alsatian bow and long ends at the back, finishing the wide loose girdle about the waist. The net is very full and draped over a soft silk underskirt in cascades that end .in points at the , bottom. Moire ribbon forms the foundation for the MATCHED SETS AND NECKWEAR 1 ; jjf j iilpiiFj 4Lx K- I . I f V &Jl lJiLftiulllt "t V- - : In autumn dress accessories, scarfs play the leading role and In scarfs those of angora wool lead the others in popularity. Angora collar and cuff sets replace those of lace on street suits and promise to grow more pop ular as cold weather advances. These angora accessories are nearly all shown In; quiet colors, but there are a few vivid hues among the narrower scarfs. The straight fur scarf more or less wideband long has emerged from a brief exile to find Itself more admired than ever and much more valuable in money. There are many good imita tions of fur In scarfs of fur fabrics that can be commended as just as warm and serviceable and less expen sive. Besides these, marabout scarfs and capes, and other neckpieces of os trich flues, add i attractions to the as semblage pf neckpieces. All of this neckwear becomes more interesting as the holidays draw near, and collar and cuff sets of batiste, lace, organdie and crochet, already intrigue us to begin holiday shopping early. Crepe-de-chine figures in the collec tion of neckwear in the shops, in small scarfs to be worn with shirtwaists, and In narrow flat ties finished at the ends with beads or , crocheted rings and beads. Narrow. , ribbon, both' in silk and velvet. Is used In the same way. the ends finished off with beads or flower forms ; made of the ribbon or little, balls : covered with Ik . IN 1 front of the bodice and there is a drapery of net over silk that extends over the shoulders and is lost under the girdle at the front Silks shot with gold or silver make beautiful un derskirts. The frock at the left is -more youth ful and less- sophisticated than the net frock. It Is made of georgette, with a fancy silk trimming stitched in straight rows on the skirt and di agonally on the .bodice. Soft net Is set in the "V" shaped bodice and a silk daisy chain is a' charming detail at the top of the short sleeve on the right shoulder. The sash is of plain, narrow satin ribbon with a rosette and two short ends to finish It. Matching with this prim little detail, the skirt is restrained at the bottom where It is gathered in and finished with a narrow, quaint-looking frill, in character. Both are beautiful and the more daring frock at the right has no advantage over its more youthful rival. There is no use trying to out shine -the charm of youthf ulness any way. Gold or silver brocade and monkey fur are responsible for many odd and beautiful fancies in the realm of dress accessories. They are very well launched on a career that promises to go on aspiring and climbing until it blossoms out at the winter resorts in the most imposing of fashion parades. There. Is a fondness for glitter every where the fashion world has turned its back upon all that js sedate or se vere In styles wherever there Is any chance to be gay or splendid. Two piece and three-piece sets give all sorts of opportunity for using these spirited elements of the styles. Monkey fur and silver brocade make the handsome turban and shopping bag shown at the left of the two matched sets Illustrated here. The fur makes a distinctive millinery trim ming and takes the place of heron aigrettes. " which are not worn by American women with a sense of loy alty to the laws. It makes a new sort of fringe also, used in many ways on hats and gowns. The three-piece set, at the right of the picture utilizes plain ; and gold brocaded black satin ribbon' in an assembly of ' hat, scarf and bag that is in the class of clothe for formal dress ASHEVILLE IS OUT QF- SUGAR Small Shipment Reported on the Way Which Cannot be Sold at a Profit Under 25 Cents per Pound. Asheville. Remaining out cf sugar two days, one local retail store , re ported a small amount and such a crowd of women rushed down on the store that it was necessary for the manager to call the police and four of ficers were stationed inside and on the sidewalk to keep the people In line. The sugar on hand was sold out la less than an hour and Asheville mer chants were completely out of sugar. A local wholesale grocery company reported that two carloads of 100,000 pounds had been purchased by them in New Orleans and would be here In about ten days, but it would be neces sary to sell the sugar at retail for 15 cents In order to come out on it This will be the highest price ever asked for sugar in Asheville, even during the war when certificates were needed the price never reached, over 15 cents here. This seems to be one case where fair price committees do not function. Lumberton. The Robeson County Fair association was organized with Frank Gough as president; Dr. R. T. Allen, vice president, and W. O. Thompson, secretary treasurer. The association will be incorporated with an authorized capital of $50,000. Elkin. The Elgin tobacco market is keeping right abreast with the mar kets throughout this section 'of .the state. A. M. Cockerham sold a barn of 1, 026 pounds which brought him $1, 018.18, being an average of $99.33 per 100 pounds. This is a record s for the Elkin market. Winston-Salem. At a meeting of business -men here action was taken assuring the erection of a million dol lar hotel in Winston-Salem, -i Plans for the structure' will be prepared at once and completion of the company which will own the building will be worked out during the next few days; Chapel Hill. More than 200 mem bers of the Atwater family and its col lateral branches met here in Gerard hall for their first family reunion. . At the close of the program of address, upon the proposal of Mrs. Mattie At water Jenkins, the family, decided to erect an Atwater memorial building at the Methodist orphanage at Raleigh. Wilmington, Following the an nouncement that the Carolina Ship building company has been made per manent for Wilmington, it was an nounced by the chamber of commerce that a Bay City,' Mich., manufacturer of ready-built houses, .will establish here. It is said that the industry' will attract a large number of new work ers to Wilmington. Charlotte. In the race for Judge Webb's headquarters, Charlotte wins over Greensboro, Salisbury and Ashe ville, which sent in their invitations post-haste when the name of Judge Boyd's associate was announced. Judge Webb, it was said, will be the first federal jurist to make headquar ters in Charlotte since the government has been holding court in this city. Albemarle. Dr. W. P. Critz, a prom inent dentist of Albemarle, Is in Rainey hospital, at Badin, fatally in jured as a result of an automobile ac cident which occurred between Badin and Hardaway's camp on the Yadkin river. : . ' 1 . ,.: The latest reports from the hospital are to the effect that Dr. Critz cannot possibly recover, as the entire fore part of his skull was crushed and had to be removed, and that part of his brain was also removed. Rocky Mount. According to figures compiled by the Rocky Mount Tobacco board of trade, leaf sales on the lo cal market up to date have totaled 13,386,862 pounds at an average of $46.97 per hundred pounds. These figures eclipse last year's quotation by an -enormous margin and show most conclusively the rush and volume of business done on the Rocky Mount market during the present season Convict Steals Car. Winston-Salem. George B. Cook, white, about 0 years old, is again a fugitive from justice. This time he is alleged to have with him a Velle fire passenger automobile, the property of C. N. Christian, supervisor of the state prison farm In Halifax county. Police and court officials here' remember Cook as the young man who stole a citizen's machine about a year ago, and going to Salisbury where he was arrested. ' He was brought back and tried In superior court last July. ; Hickory Fair a SuoeesaJ Hickory. When the Catawba conn fair paid off a note of $1,700 and paid premium awards and other, ex penses totaling $3,486.83, it had about $7.13 cents in the treasury, the secre tary reported at the first meeting of the directors since the exhibit . H v ' Directors discussed various phases of the fair and decided to go in strong for an agricultural fair next year. With that object in view a meeting of stockholders ; was called for Si turdaar afternoon, November 21. r TRAVERSE THE HOT S OF DESERT DRAMATIC ORDER KNIGHTS OF K HO R ASS AN CELEBRATE THE ARMI8TICE ANNIVERSARY. WOKS REPRESENTED Celebrated Dokie, Band of Gastonia Headed Great Street Parade De spite Heavy Downfall ef Rain. Gastonia. Around 500 members of the Dramatic Order Knights of Khor assans. the "sunshine branch" of the Pythian order, assembled here to cel ebrate the anniversary of armistice day The counties of Iredell, Gaston. Mecklenburg, Cleveland, Rowan, Ca tawba were well represented as well as Bagdad temple 213 from Asheville. The : ceremonial began promptly at 4 o'clock with a street parade led by Gastonia's famous Dokie band and notwithstanding the downpour of rain, the parade was a success and witness ed by large crowds of people on the streets. - Fred D. Barkley is director of this band and has a splendid organ ization of musicians who rendered a number of popular selections. In the evening a delightful banquet was served in the Craig and' Wilson building by Gastonia ladles. Seventy-five candidates were carried through the ceremonial coming from Gastonia as well as other counties ad-. joining. Many short addresses on the good of the order followed the closing ceremonies at the night session. "' ' ' Raleigh. A pyromaniac, who has been starting Incendiary fires , in Winston-Salem, is to be committed to the state hospital for the insane as the result ' of the investigation of recent suspicious fires; there by Deputy In surance Commissioner W. A.' Scott " Boone. Mr. F. R. Farnhatn, the cheese expert looking after that work in Watauga county, reports that dur ing the past summer the "county has shipped to one firm. Swift & Co., 108, 982 pounds of factory made cheese, or about 5,000 boxes, this amount repre senting about two-thirds of the en tire output in the county. - Newton. The ordinary method of making blockade liquor is entirely too slow for some of the makers of booze in Catawba county. They have reach ed the point where they are operat ing steam distilleries. Messrs. Bogle, Klrksey , and Deputy Sheriff Huss found steam distillery in Bandy's township, said to 'have been on the lands of William Johnson. Mount Airy. Despite daily increas ing offerings of tobacco by the farmers of this and adjacent counties, prices continue to advance and producers of the weed are jubilant at prices paid them. For the first time in the his tory of this market the prices for alt tobacco sold at all three warehouses today averaged over 85 Ncents per pound, and many lots brought over $1 a pound. ! Raleigh In authorising the contin uance of the federal telephone rates by the Southern Bell Telephone company until further notice, in which order lias just been made, the corporation commission directs the company to file with the commission In January next, a report of the operations of the bus iness of the company in North Caro lina for the period from July, 1919, to January, 1920. - Kinston. Kinston will be the "smal lest big" town in the state if the 1920 census figures bear out the expecta tions of local authorities, who look, for a population of 13,500 to 15,000. There have been two booms since 1910, and the population has increased steadily between booms. The area of the city is only a little more than one and two fifths square miles. Many towns with smaller population cover much more territory- It will undoubtedly be ne cessary to annex surrounding terri tory. . s To Launch Concrete Ships. New Bern. If plans of shipbuilders materialize, November will see the launching of two steel cargo ships and another concrete passenger ship from local 'yards. '' v,' '"y.'J. The Starr-Bennett company, whicn is building now on a contract for the government of seven steel river steam ers, has four nearly completed and the management announces that two will be launched this month.
