BRIEF NEWS' ITEMS -FROM OVER BURRE Items of Interest Gathered From Different Sections of the County By News Herald Correspondents The negotiations relating to both the far east; and armament limitation" moved more slowly yesterday, says an Associated Press dispatch, as the at tention of the arms delegates passed from general policies to specific de tails. . "China's economic ' embarrassments formed the text of the. far eastern discussions, vwhich resulted in the appointment 6f,a sub-committee of representatives of ., nine -nations to study the whole subject1; admin istrative autonomy for te?Chinese republic with, particular ..reference to tariff and tax restrictions.

The appeal, which indicates the un usual enthusiasm aroused on behalf of the orphanage, is in the form of an open letter addressed to those of the Presbyterian faith in North Car olina, and is as follows: i; "To the Presbyterians of North Carolina: ' "The laymen's committee of the Presbyterian church . of North Caro lina is making a campaign. for $125, 000, to be given at this Thanksgiving for much needed equipment, improve ment and maintenance at the Barium Springs Orphans' home.

It is possible that the naval plan may receive some consideration at today's meeting of the .five delega tions whrclr"?onstitute the armament committee of the whole, but the greater attention is expected to cen ter on land armament in view of the imminence of M. Briand's departure. It is the preservation of her army, with the moral backing of the prmci pal1 powers, that most interests France at the present stage of the negotiations and it is known that M.

Briand s assertion that the Reichswehr is composed ex clusively of officers and non-commissioned officers of the old army is in correct and that, on the contrary, the bulk of the Reichsewhr is made of youths between the ages of 19 and 21, recruited since the war. dl? who make up the nations base !rlr beliefs and their actions upon oemg done by many people today ti"' a few years ago, paid no atten ii ?v- ,rehioil or to idealism.

Mr. Brittain was working with a road construction force near Chimney Rock, on the road leading to the fam ous rock, and in company with other workmen was riding to work on the truck. In some unaccountable man ner the truck overturned.' Mr. Brit tain received a bad cut on the head and was badly shaken up. That the whole party escaped death is miracu lous for in addition to other dangers attending the wreck they were carry ing along a quantity of dynamite. Mr. Brittain was the most seriously injur ed and he is now able to be out.- He came home to stay until he has fully recovered from his injuries. DR. LESLIE STRICKEN.

A FISH STORY - We "mountain boomers" who are accustomed to catches of beautiful black bass and mountain trout, after hearing a fish story brought back from . Rocky Mount by Mr. W. T.

He was so scared he cast the "varmint" with line and hook into the fire, and gave up fishing for that time as a had job. He has come back to go fishing where the fish don't grow legs. W. F.
