Girls' Knitting Class Gives Entertain
ment.
Last night Mrs. Edwin D. Scott's
knitting class of little girls gave
an entertainment at the Mexican
Theatre to raise funds to-»u_v wool
and other materials. First on the
program was a dance Dy Pierrott
(Kathleen Harden) and Pierrette
(Mary Hunter). Each did his (her)
part well and the performance met
with generous applause v Next was
a play—"Buckwheat Cakes"— by a
dozen little girls. This too was
well done. The entire perform
ance was highly creditable and re
flected much credit on Miss Dora
Cooke who "trained the little jjirls
for the occasion.
Two Stills Captured.
Revenue Officer Johnson of Greens
boro and Deputies H. J. Stockard
and E. A. Hensley came in about
/noon today from a still hunt. In
Patterson township, near Rock Creek,
early this morning they located a
still and waited for the operator. He
came by and by and after a short
y chase they caught him. His name
is J. T. Ailred. A copper still was
taken, and 150 gallons of beer and 8
or 10 gallons of singHngs were
poured out. From this place they
went over in the mountains in upper
Newlin township. Here a galvan
ized still was captured and the out
fit cut up. In the vicinity of the
latter a number of places were found
which indicated recent operation of
stills. The man Allred was bound
over to court in a SSOO bond.
Union Services Discontinued.
For several weeks union services
have been held by turn at the differ
ent churches on Sunday nights, that
is, there were services at only one
church on a Sunday night. The ar
rangement served more than one
good purpose: It was a means to 6a ve
fuel during the bitter cold weather;
an opportunity was afforded church
goers to attend some other church
than their own and to hear some
other pastor; it permitted the preach
ers to hear preaching instead of
preaching themselves —a privilege
all of them enjoyed: and best of all,
it brought the church people closer
together and created a stronger
Christian fellowship.
At a conference of the ministers
last Sunday night it was decided to
discontinue the union services for
the present.
High School Debaters Chosen—All
Girls This Time.
At the speaking contest Friday af
ternoon at the Graded School for
places in tbe North Carolina Debat
ing Union the representatives chosen
for Graham High School were Misses
Enita Nicks and Eunice Rich f°r the
affirmative and Misses Mildred and
Margaret Moore for the negative.
The query is, Resolved: "That
Cjngress should pass a law provid
ing for the arbitration of industrial
disputes."
Graham's representatives will
have to meet representatives from
two other schools and if they shall
win, both negative and affirmative,
will go to Chapel Hill in April and
' contest for places on the final de
bate for the Aycc'k Cup. Graham
has thrice been represented in th
final debates and won the Ay cock
Cup once.
The debaters chosen last Fridaj
are good ones and Graham has i
- good chance to again get into th
final contest.

Special to The Gleaner.
Camp Sevier, S. C., Feb. 1
1518.—We, the Boys of Aiamam
county, who were so fortunate i
to share in the nice boxes, coi
slsting of jellies, candies, etc
want to express onr many thank
to you good people at Graham an
near-by vicinities for thinking 
your soldier friends in such
nice way.
It makes us feel good to kno
that our friends and loved ON OH U
home are thinking of us. We'i
sure that no people any wh> re hav
been any nicer to t.lieir soldi*
friends than you. You were s
nice to us while we were stationei
iu our home county, and that i
something that we won't forget
And now, although we are not ii
,\ our sight or hearing, you ari
still so good to us.
We boys think of our friendi
and loved ones we have left be
hind, and, sometimes, whei
things are not going so smoothly
we almost wish that we were buck
with them. But then, something
seems to tell us that it is our duty
to our country and you to be hero,
And by being here we are going
to try to hold the reputation that
our forefathers won for us years
ago.' V
We boys may go to Franca, or
some other foreign land sometime
soon and if we do, you good peo
ple who have baen so good to us
may rest assured that our thoughts
will be of you. And in thinking
of you, we will remember the nice
boxes that we received while at
Camp Sevier.
. .Thanking you again for the box
just received, and the many kind
nesses you have rendered us,

"Egypt" Coal Mines Being Opened.
Sanford Express.
The "Egypt" coal region, lying
chiefly in Lee and Chatham coun
ties, is being developed by two
interests at present and it is grati
fying to learn that the operators
in both instances are getting sat
isfactory results. Both nave
mined coal of superior quality for
steaming, heating and even grate
and stovg purposes
If this development reaches the
scale that the prospects seem to
hold out in every respect, it will
mean much for Wilmington, for
the mines are on the Atlantic &
Yadkin railroad (Coast Line and
Southern railway) which runs
directly to the port of Wilming
ton. The coal region is only 130
miles from the Cape Fear ocean
gateway. Coal seams which are '
six feet thick are yielding bi
tuminous coal that government 1
testa prove to be equal to the fa- 1
mous Pocahontas coal of the Vir- 1
ginia fields. 1
The older, or original develop
ment, is the Cumnock mine, once '
known as the Egypt mine, when 1
it was first operated just prior to '
and during the Civil War, and •
later operated on a small scale
about 20 or 24 years ago, when a '
disastrous mine explosion put the 1
operating company out of coin mi*. }
sion. It is now being operated '
by the Norfolk-Southern railroad,
the main line of which also runs 1
through this North Carolina coal '
field. 1

|' "If you have a tendency to
criticise, and lot* of us over here
'do, remember that you haven't
I been there. You don't know what;

I moat Christian acta I ever did was
the placing of a cigarette between 1 :

"It's a wonderful thing that is
being fought out over here. True
democracy and a new religious
life is emerging from No Man's
Land. Protectant and Catholic,
Jew and Qentile, are marching
side by side and dying for a com
mon cause, and they are asking,
'if we can fight together and die
together, why can't we live to

Fatherhood of God.

SAVE FOR YOUR COUNTRY.
And For Those Who Are Fighting
For Us.
/
University New* Letter.
The peaple of North Carolina are ,
this year called to the hl?h calling
of thrift—to the patriotic duty of
savin? 50 million dollars and lend
ing; it to our government in the
purchase of Thrift Stamps and Sav
ings Certificates bearing 4 percent
Interest.
These 50 millions are to be loaned,
mind you, and they brinjt a double
alessinij. They bles3 both the lend
ers and the causa for which they
ire loaned.
The teachers and the pupils In
JUT public schools are otdled into
eadership in this great (thrift cam
>aign, under the joint direction of
3oL P. H". Fri3B, the State Director
>f War Savings, and Dr. J. Y.
Foyner, State Supt. of Public In
duction.
The teachers and the school chll-
Iren of North Carolina can put this
hing across if they go at it ham
mer-and-%ongs In our and
country regions.
The country schools alone could
lo it. Our farmers are 275 mil
lion dollars richer this year than
they were in the census year—in
crop values alone.
The farmers, bankers and manu
facturers of the State hive made
more money ih the last three years
than they ever did before in all
their lives.
We must consecrate our wealth
to the cause of freedom in the
earth or our wealth will corrupt
and corrode our souls iq this year
of our destiny.
Who saves freedom for humanity
saves all things, and all things sav
ed shall bless him; who saves for
himself alone, loses all things, and
all things lost shall curse him.
Our boys are fighting our fight in
France. It is our glorious privilege
to support them as they offer up
their lives at the front.
If we will not deny ourselves and
save for their sake* then we are
not worth fighting for.
A dime spent In needless self-in
dulgence is a traitor dime, and
the spender is a slacker.
Thrift Stamps cost only 25 cents
at th£ postofflce; and when eight
or nine of them k have been saved,
they can be exchanged for a five
dollar certificate bearing 1 percent
interest.
The poorest man or the smallest
child at home can fight for human
ity with dimes while our .joys fight
with guns ill the .;at.le line.

Allied Governments* Purchases
in the United States | T
Arrangements were entered into shortly after,the beginning of the
war by the secretary of the treasury, with the approval of the president,
with the governments of Great Britain, Prance, Russia, Italy, Belgium and **
Serbia, whereby Berpard M. Baruch, Robert Si Lovett and Robert S.
Brookings of the war' industries board were designated a commission
through whom or with grhose approval or consent all purchases in the
United States of materials and supplies by or on behalf of these govern
ments shall be made. c
Under this arrangement these governments communicate their re- '
quirements for materials and supplies to this commission through their
designated purchasing agents in this country, and the commission then
uses its best efforts to obtain offers of the materials and supplies required
at the best obtainable prices and terms, of delivery and otherwise and
submits the same to the purchasing agent concerned, it being no part of ,
the commission's duty to prepare and sign contracts, or to supervise their
execution, or to determine technical details, or to carry out the inspection i
of materials, all of which matters are cared for by the governments con- j
cerned.
The foreign governments have agreed not to make purchases in the '
United States otherwise than through or with the consent of the commis
sion. The arrangements provide that nothing expressed or implied, nor !
anything done or omitted by the commission, shall impose any obligation
or lfability upon the United States whether to advance moneys, to es
tablish credits, or otherwise. The purchasing commission in carrying out
the terms of this agreement, says Commerce Reports, is endeavoring to see
first that the wants of the governments associated with the United States
in the war are supplied as promptly as possible, and without interfering
with the requirements of our own government. This necessarily involves
the finding of a source of supply from which articles needed by the allies
c-an be obtained without prejudice to contracts placed with the United
States government for articles of the same kind, and in many cases it has
been found necessary to develop new sources of supply—that is, to induce
some one who has not been previously making the articles needed to pro-
duce them.
