And when God's own slogan KOUqdeth, . All the dead world's dust awak ing. Ah, will ye lock for me? Bravely we'll stand together I and my sons with me. ' From "The Gray Mother," L. Mac Lean Watt. J Flying rumors can't beat the flying Hun. Oh, well, what's a few patches be tween friepds? ' The complexion of congress does not look good to us. A new era is about to set in. it set you back? Will Everything that went obliged to come down. up will be Sow that wheat and you won't have to worry about cotton's annual trouble. It becomes more evident every day that the Austrians have cut their eye-teeth. Every day between now and Thanksgiving day brings more for us o be thankful for. by the allied war council, which left to. General Foch the conditions and ar rangements for an armistice should the Germans agree to his conditions. The delegation vas given seventy-two hours in which to confer with the Ger man government and answer. That means three days grace for the Berlin government's answer. Doubtless, the matter will be decided before Monday morning, as it is stated that the reichstag met last night to give all parties an oportunity to con- sider the armistice conditions and the amended allied terms and to determine J what course is to be taken with refer ence to the conditions, it is also stated in the dispatches ithat at Spa, not very far back of the, German line, Government representa tives are gathered to receive and con sider the conditions of General Foch, Evidently that arrangement was made to facilitate action on the part of the Germans with regard to the arrange ment for an armistice. The kaiser him self is said to be at Spa, which is Qer man grand army headquarters. Tensely has the world waited for this momentous day. The people of all na tions manifest keen anxiety as to the result of the German parley with Gen eral Foch. All day long yesterday the people of this country momentarily ex pected a prompt answer from the Ger mans. No answer came, however, but it is bound to came between now and Monday morning. What will the an swer be? GREAT WAS IXPUSTRY BLAST. IJf FLLX MORE GERMAN "SOAP." Teddy sees himself playing autocrat oyer the next congress. When he does, the fun will commence. Some men pit their opinions against each other. Others divide up in ac cordance with their imaginations. The big drive for $170,500,000 for the war relief organizations will begin next week. We must come across for the boys- The Philadelphia Public Ledger su; gest "a cure for Prussianism." Gosh! The allies have given Prussianism the proper dose. 4r , . agin, on agin, gone agin, Flinnigin." Here we go. The election is over. The next thing on the pro gram is going right ahead. You don't know what a day may bring forth. The world lives in ex pectancy of the best. It is the un expected that makes the most startl ing newg. Among other things you have got to think about is how early you can do your Christmas shopping without hav ing to pay a dollar for something worth a quarter. The republicans got the most votes in Tuesday's election for first one rea son and another. The vote was not all republican. Lots of it was pro-German anything to go against Presi dent Wilson. North Carolina is all right but in different men who did not go to the polls and vote last Tuesday didn't have a thing to do with it. They will do more kicking than anybody else dur ing the next two years. Retrenchment and reform will the order of the day when the new re publican congress gets under way in December next year. When the prices of commodities tumble and wages slump from the high scale they will have to take the blame. What has become of all those mil lions of bushels of wheat that they used to tell us was shut in P.ussia on account of the closing of the Darda nelles? Even Russia is asking us to uuny ana sena tnem something eat before it is too late? to John Stuart Mill said: "Popular opinions are often true, but seldom or never the whole truth." Popular opinions depend for sanity upon the .wtSMBB oi me populace. In Rus sia Bolshevik opinion prevails because Russia is mostly Bolshevik. On Tuesday, Chile's merchant marine was increased by the addition of 84 Ships. The ships belonged to Ger many but Chile seized them to prevent their crews from doing damage to them. Chile also needed a few ships right away. Letter after letter from tho boys in the 30th division, the boys who smash ed "Hindy's" line at the famous canal tunnel September 29, is being publish ed in paper all over the state and numerous writers bear witness' to the story of the "rendering out" of the dead bodies of Hun soldiers, to get grease. This story, first printed months ago, has gone about the world, shocking even the people least surprised at any story of Hun barbarity and savagery. Frankly, the world couldn't quite be lieve it. It surpassed belief.- that any human beings had so little human feeling in them as to take the bodies of their comrades and cook them up for fat. Nevertheless, if any confirmation were needed, the 0th division has loads of it, A very fair sample of what these men are writing back home is contained in a letter from Sergt. J. T. Allen of Gibsonville, N. C. to his pa rents, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Allen, and pub lished in The Daily News of Greens, boro. Hear him: "Before closing I will tell you of the most horrible thing I have ever seen. You remember reading in the papers several months ago about the Germans making soap from their dead. It sounded Incredible, didn't it? But it is true, for I have seen with my own eyes the horrible places where the process is carried out. It was in a tunnel in old channel that we cap tured. I did not believe it so I went in and saw fdr myself. There were vats connected by a pipe. One con tained the dead bodies. The other the liquid extract from the dead bodies. On leaving the Germans made an' ef fort to camouflage their dirty work but we were too close on their heels. By the side of the vats there was a pile of dead Germans ready to be put through the process. Again I want to say that i iiot rumors, it is what 3f -wen witn my own eyes. I do no ireiieve that you will doubt my word. But it sounds so inoredlble that one can hardly believe." One huge industry that cost tho United States government millions of dollars is now in full blast, having begun operations about two weeks ago. It is the government cyanmidni trates plant at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, known officially as United States Ni trate Plant No. 2. It is a great hydro electric : plant and will annually turn out about 250,000 pounds of high ex plosives, worth about $4g,ooo,ooo. This was one of the rapidly built war emergency plants of the govern ment. An article in the Manufacturers Record state sthat the first ground for this immense industry was broken February 6, 191S, or a little more than eight months ago. Under ordinary conditions the con struction would have required about three years. The work represents an outlay of approximately $50,000,000 More than 22,000 men were employed in the handling and erecting of 30,000, of cement, 14,000 tons of machinery and other materials, making up an aggre gate' of 700,000 tons of freight delivered to the site between January and Oc tober of this year. The unique character of the plant developed many intricate problems, in. eluding the recruiting of industrial la bor on a large scale, the building of a temporary village for the construc tion force and a permanent village with all modern conveniences, steam heat, electricity, sewers, stores, churches, schools, hospitals,' etc, and the feeding of a great army of workmen three tmies a day, . T:e plant site covers an area of approximately three square miles. The plant proper is about a mile long and three-fourths of a mile wide, A steam turbine electric generating plant pro duces S0.000 horse-power. The balance o the power requirements will be taken from the Alabama Power Co. The lime kilns, which burn over X.000 (tons of limestone per day for use in the pro cess, are the largest in the world, as are also the plants for making car bide and liquid air. By way of explaing the need of this plant, the Manufacturers Record say: "Owing to the vast amount of ex plosives called for by the military pro gram, the Ordanoe Department in 1917 faced a serious problem because of the lack of nitrate in this country, which form the basis of ail military explosives. The shortage of ships pre vented the movement of .adequate quan tities of nitrates from South America, and even if the nitrate could have been obtained, the country's capacity f sui- phurio acid for converting the nitrate to nitric acid and the base for the fixing of nitrio acid were wholly in adequate. The only alternative was to utilize the nitrogen of the air as a source of both ammonia and nitric acid, used in making high explosives. There was only one organization on this con tinent with practical experience in the art of fixing air nitrogen, namely, the American Cyanamld Co., with plants at Niagara Falls and Warners, N. J., the FIFTY PER CENT INCREASE TN FORK. Mississippi is pulling a fifty per cent, increase in pork production for the. oemlng year. It .is proposed to do it through strongly financed boys' pig clubs and already 10,000 boys have been enlisted in the work. The bqys were furnished with pigs this fall and they will be fed and looked after un der the' supervision es the farm demon stration agents. Next spring there will be pig census and plans have been arranged for distributing next year's pigs into sections that want them. Plans are already taking shape throughout the state and bankers, merchants and , business men in every community are heartily financing the boys and farmers as well. The whole state is wcrking for a, fifty per cent increase in bog! production next year. Mississippi also will raise the pasture and feed crops that will take oare of SUNDAY SERVICES St. Andrew's Presbyterian church. Fourth and Campbell streets, Rev. A. J, McClure, D.

The president's order makes this enactment superfluous for food saving, and the rider will simply have the effect of forcing prohibition on the country by congressional flat. As the constitutional amendment is now be fore the people of the country for rat ification by the state legislatures, why should this rider have the right of way and be used as a means of secur ing snap judgment for prohibition?

MAJOR SEDMAX TRIUMPHANT!-Y RE-ELECTED. WHY IS A CENSOHSKjr? The republican slogan . in the elec tion, was "win the war." Wilson had atlready won it. The allies had the matter of peace and the terms of sur render, whether unconditional or .not, In hand, and we will have peace their way long before the republican con Cress will begin to function more than a year from now. As an issue, "un conditional "surrender had about as much business in thf recent election as what will be done with Germany's colonies In Africa." Great ritlan. Franceand Italy will' look on, that as Rising above all prejudice that be clouds the vision, why is a censorship? We have been repeatedly told we must not chronicle the arrival or departure of even a coastwise vessel at this port, or the routing of a troop train; we are given casualty lists released a month after we have published the informa tion that one- of our boys has been wounded or killed; soldiers letters are carefully perused by alert young of flcersleuths who snip out names, places, dates and so forth. And yet when a false report of the consumma tion of peace, ifreisrhtad with tr.mot,. ous possibilities for upsetting a hun dred million people, comes along, the censorship turns it loose on the coun try and George Creel explains that it is none' of his business whether a re port Is true or false; he Is concerned only with the subject of whether it conveys information that Is detri mental to the military establishment If ever a censorship should function It is at such a time as this. If there Is any reasonable answer to the question, "Why is a censorship?" it would be, to stop Just such loaded reporters that peace rumor. But the censorship, con cerned with whether a New York steamer is reported in the press, speeds the harmful news' on its .way and, let's America show the Huns it Is crasy for peace, which - may or may not gum things upmay not. but might. r.Turkey and trifimlngs for the'allies. They'll see to' it.'.'; " :; In all the war and election excite xnent that has prevailed, we shall not forget to extend our congratulations to the democrats of the fifth congres sional district for re-electing Repres ematiye unaries i. Btenman by an overwhelming majority over John W Kurfees, republican. The whole district stood grandly by its distinguished and able congressman and the howls of prejudice emitted during the campaign against him all came to naught, just as we expected they would. Kurfees, a drummer, thought he was running for congress a few weeks ago but he knows better now. Oyer and above the eminent merits of Major Stedman, we rather think Kurfees helped to roll up his majority by launching into an attack op one of the democrate's most reputable and popular statesman, a man whom all North Caro linians ought to honor, whether they be democrats or republicans. Kurfees1 campaign was so palpably based ori unprincipled misrepresentation that it must 'have disgusted the good republi cans of the fifth district. Up-starts in politics generally come to the end of their row by putting their foot in it. The friends of Major 'stedman all over eastern North Carolina rejoice that the. intelligent people of his dlsi trict are loyal to him and have done thetosslves proud in honoring him. All honor to our former beloved Wllmfng- tonian. Daily as telegrams received t rela tives announcing the deaths of North Carolinians killed In action September 29 continue to grow in number, grows me certainty tnat tne Thirtieth or "Old Hickory" Division in breaking the Hin denburg Line at Cambrai was literally shot to pieces by the Hun. But the Tar Heels, South Carolinians and Ten nesseans broke through the line at its strongest point, they got what they went after, and that is a soldier's job. Never were braver men, and the stories filtering through show that the only reason the dead did not die in their tracks, as the saying goes, was that they left these tracks -and crawled forward after the Hun. When they came to grips with the Boche they made their presence felt, and the Hin denburg Line thereabouts was broken never to be restored. The old Third North Carolina Regiment appears 'to have been the hardest hit. There are various unconfirmed reports concern ing lue leariui casualties in a. comp any of Raleigh. No doubt these re ports are exaggerated; but the best is bad enough and hourly messages come telling of the death of the boys of this community. K. Company of Randolph! county went In with 208 men and came out with 57 effectives. It lost by death Capt Ben Dixon, formerly of this city, hut more recently of Asheboro, and its first lieutenant gassed as well as wounded, is in an English hospital. Letters home, however, tell of one of these taking eight Huns single-handed. The Thirtieth went through, which is what it was ordered to do. Other divisions of the army, no doubt, have done and will do as well; hut none have or can do better. And it was only i day school at 9:45. tne oiner aay that some pusillanimous Oartlsian politicians were attempting to prove by the casualty lists that the Southern men in France were not be ing killed as fast as the Northerners! It very much looks as if shrapnel, bul lets and gas do not ask an American soldier whether he lives north or south of the Mason-Dixen line when he at temps to cross the Hindenburg. Any thing that we at home can do to com plete the winning of the war and to aid In establishing a just peace neces sarily look small compared to sacrifices made by our soldiers on the 29th of September.

They safeguard its wealth, they protect its policy, they Keep at a distance its enemies of the physical, moral and spiritual world. Just as some bulwarks w are dis tinguished for certain features differ entiating them from others, so William Capers Munds held his citlssnship with a difference. For almost forty years he exercised hi profession in the care of his fel low townsmen and in the safeguarding of their lives. His attention, to his responsibility as a druggist was aa scrupulous as 'the care of a soldier to the duty given him to discharge. No neglect of his ever, broke through the wail of protection around any sick man. His profession was his part in the city's welfare and as he4ays down the finish- o .wotk, we reel that there may well be pronounced upon it, "Well done.".
