guide to be published soon. The

Jbjacn or tne governments sent a
letter to Eliseo Arredondo, personal
representative here of Mr. Carrahza.
All were couched in the same form,
and that of the United States added
a formal expression of an intention
soon to accredit an ambassador to
Mexico. Henry Prather Fletcher, at
present American ambassador to
Chile, practically has been decided
upon for the post. Although a Re
publican in politics, he was elevated
from the rank of minister to ambas
sador by President Wilson after a
long and successful record in the
diplomatic service. ' Secretary Lan

only to the intention to accredit an

Mr. L.rI. Harris, who ran the first

returned to his old home near Tar
boro. However, at the urgent re
quest of officers of the North Caro
lina Public Service Company, he
came back last week to help handle
the crowds at the fair. Before re
turning to his home this week Mr.
C. H. Andrews, local manager of the
Public Service Company, on behalf
of the employes and officers of the
company, presented Mr. Harris with
a nanqsome..gow-neaaea cane aa
token of their esteem. Mr. Harris
was not only the oldest but the most
popular conductor . on tho street car
lines here, and many friends regret
that he has retired from the service.
He came to Greensboro in order to
educate his children at the colleges,
and now that they are educated, he
feels that his place for the declining
years of life is back in his old coun
ty, where he has property enough to
be independent.

Negroes Raising Ubrary Money.
The negroes of Greensboro have
inaugurated a campaign to raise $1,

in order to have a first-class library
in the city. They have received an
offer from Mr. Andrew Carnegie of a
si n.0o0vsrift for a building on the
condition that the support of the
library which would be thus estab
lished be guaranteed. This offer
from the Carnegie estate came to the
city commission and the influential
negroes have taken up the matter of
raising: part of the money needed for
the local end. The souvenir buttons
are sold, at $1 each.

President Votes For Suffragre.
Washington, Oct. 19. President
Wilson returned to Washington to
night from Princeton after casting
the first ballot ever given by a chief
executive of the United States in
favor of woman suffrage.
The president's brief visit to his
legal residence was marked by a more
enthusiastic welcome from the
Princeton students than ever before
had been given him in any of his
numerous trips there since he entered
the White House. The young men
gave noisy evidences of their ap
proval of. his stand on the suffrage
question. Cheering, singing, whistling
and marching in close formation,
they greeted the former head of their
university uproariously and hundreds
of them remained near him from the
time he arrived until his departure.
Woman suffragists were not much
in evidence during the president's
visit, and only two approached him
to tnank him for voting for their
cause. There were no women watch
ers at the polling place and no wo
men in the vicinity soliciting votes.

ous country and further south have
advanced over Egri Palanka in their
attempt to gain the Uskup-Nish
Railway, the cutting of which prob
ably would delay the progress of the
French and British troops from Sal-oniki.
Artillery bombardments and fight
ing by means of hand grenades have
been the sole method of warfare
along the French line, while on the
Russian, front the attempt of Fild
Marshal von Hindenburg to push
through to Dvihsk has brought out
the hardest fighting. Berlin asserts
that good progress has been made by
von Hindenburg to the south of Riga
and that near Hloukst Russian posi
tions extending over a front .of nearly
two miles have been captured.
Stubborn fighting continues in the
Austre-ltalian zone, with the Italians
on the offensive. On the plateau of
Doberdo. the Italians in an attack
reached the Austrian entanglements
at some places, but Vienna says were
finally driven off.
