It is to be regretted that all
our farmers did not finish sowing
their wheat before the recent
cold weather interfered. Before
that they had an unusually fa
vorable fall for sowing wheat
Mr. George S. Moore is go
ing into the business of raising
chickens at this place, and for
that purpose has bought two in
cuba'ors by which he will hatch
several hundred in a short time
Many a fat porker utters its

Glenn and it weighed 389 pounds.
We much regret to h- ar of
the death of Mr. William Worn
b!e, who died last Sundav at h.s
home at Lockille, aged 75 years.
He was a volunteer in the old
Chatham Rifles, the first com
pany from this county to enlist
in the Confederate army, and
there was no better or braver
soldier in that army.
Our Chatham rabbits are
now coming into market in
mighty good time and are the
cheapest meat that our people
can eat. They sell here at ten
cents apiece and one rabbit will
furnish enough meat for one
meal for an ordinary family,
while enough pork or beef would
cost three times that much. f

where he has appeared as being
the most entertaining humorist!
in the South and can put "more
genuine, clean, fresh fun into an
nour than any other man."
The Atlanta Journal says:
"Hear him and you will get a
new lease on life." The Mont
gomery Advertiser says: "Prof.
Lane's facial expressions are
fine, his gestures conspicuously
suggestive, ard his sense of hu
mor so keen th-t he can drill it
into the most obtuse. His lis
teners were so perfectly under
his control that he could say
laugh nd they would go into
convulsions."
The exercises will begin prompt

Wintry Weather.
Never before have we known
such severe wintry weather in
November a3 was experienced
here the latter part of last week.
Winter came upon us with a sud
denness and severity never be
fore known here! The first day
of last week was in most strik
ing contrast with the last day.
On Sunday, the loth, it was
warm enough to Co without fires,
but on Saturday, the 21st, it waa
as cold as we rarely ever have
seen it in midwinter, the ther
mometer early that morning in
dicating a temperature as low ss
twelve degrees above zero. We
d ub if the "oldest inhabitant"
ever knew so Cold a morning on
the 21st of November.
Not only did we have such
very cold weather Put this sec
tion was visited on last Frida
morning witn the deepest snow
that we have ever before known
so early as the 20th of November.
It came too so unexpectedly, lor
the sun set the evening before as
clear a3 could be. with every
indication of fair weather for
several days. Greatly surprised
then was everybody next morn
ing when they awoke and found
snow on the ground and the air
filled with "the fleecy snowflakes
failing fast and furious, which
soon covered the earth to the
djpth of four or five inches.
While this snow caused some suf
fering with those not prepared
for it, yet it was a great help f r
the wheat that had been sowed
and no doubt wa3 g.auly wel
comed by many of our farmers.
This early snow was quite gen
eral over this state, but did not
extend to many other states in
the south, although the tempera
ture was colder in Alabama,
Georgia and some other states
than had ever before been expe
rienced so early in the season
It would seem that winte had
sprung upon us so suddenly and
severely in order to take revenge
for the very delightful weather
we had enjoyed ail the previous
Weeks of this autumn. If N-'
vember has given us such wintry
weather, what will December, or
January or February give us?
Biggest Lean War.
London, Nov 24. Lists of sub
scriptions to the greatest war
loan in history amounting to 350.
000 000 pounds sterling ($1,750.
000,000), or rather more than
half the total of the British na
tional debt, were closed this af
ternoon and the loan, it is freely
stated in the city, will be a great
success." although no official fig
ures as yet are available-
Coming at a time when the
London sti.ek exchange is dosed
and immediately after $300,000,
000 of fresh taxation had been
imposed, the result is considered
remarkable.
Methodist Appointments.
At the recent annual session
of the North Carolina Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, Rev. J. T. Gibbs
was appointedvpresiding elder of
this (the Fayetteville) district.
His many friends here of all de
nominations are much pleased
that Rev. W. F. Craven has been
retained as pastor of the Pitts
boro circuit.
We note among other appoint
ments the following in this coun
ty: Rev. M- D. Giles in charge
of the Goldston circuit, Rev. T.
H. Sutton in charge of the Siler
City circuit and Rev. W. E.
Brown in charge of the Haw
River circuit.
Raleigh Helps Belgians.
Special to the Charlotte Observer.
Raleigh, Nov. 22. A cash con
tribution of $1,538 was realized
this afternoon through a mass
meeting of citizens of Raleigh
held to launch a movement for a
relief fund for tbe homeless and
starving Belgians and plans were
projected that will still further
swell the fund on the part of this
community.
There was also announcement
made that of the schools of the
city St. Marv's students have
raised $140, Peace Institute '$38,
A. and M. College $94 and Mere
aith College $388.
The m-ss meeting was attend
ed by 3,000 or more people and
was presided over by Mayor Jas
I. Johnson.
There were addresses by Gov.
Craig and Dr. W. L. Poteat, of
Wake Forest College. Also there
was a n table talk by Prof. A.
Vermont, of Smithfield, a native
Belgian, who has eniisted his ser
vices for procuring relief for his
suffering people. He oeclared
that if anyone had told him a few
months ago that ?t was possible
for Irs native country to be so
completely destroyed and his
people driven out homeless End
starving he would not have be
lieved it. But the a.vful reality
exists. He told of an aged mo
ther 80 years old and other near
relatives possibly homeless and
refugees. He declared magnan
imously th it he does not believe
Emperor William wished to visit
such terrible disaster on Belgium
but that the condition had come
as one of the terrors of war. He
behoved that if it is true that 'vEr
is hell'' there was then never a
country to whose lot had fallen
so great a portion of it as Bel
gium. 2L
Pitiable Condition of Belgians.
London, Nov. 20. Notwith
standing the extensive relief
work already done in Belgium,
conditions there are becoming
more serious. Jean Van Brand
en, of the Belgian National Re
lief Cnmmittee wh arrived here
today from Brussels, said refu
gees were pouring into that city
at the rate of 25.000 a day.
"This influx," he said, "is due
to a lack of fuel as well as food.
Brussels has plenty of coal, but
interruption of transportation
makes it impossible to carry it
to remote villages. Refugees
also are flocking t3 Liege and
other large towns.
"The people are dependent en
tirely on kerosene for heating
and cooking and the supply of
this fuel also is becoming scarce.
"The committee now is supply
ing 600 000 mals daily in Brus
sels to 300,000 persons. These
meals consist of putato soup,
some rice and a piece of bread.
At first the allowance of bread
was six ounces daily, but this
has been reduced to three ounces.
Even the rich find it almost im
possible to obtain bread in Brus
sels and soon the whole popula
tion will form into a vast bread
line " J
Mill Operatives Not Illiterate.
From The News and Observer,
Out of eight-four furniture fac
tories doing business in North
Carolina during the past year
r'orty-four of them report im
provement in financial conditions,
twenty of them report no appa
rent change, and ten do not ex
press an opinion.
These are facts brought out in
the report of Commissioner of
Labor and Printing M. L. Ship
man, who is now preparing his
annual report of industrial con
ditions in North Carolina. 'here
are other facts brought out, too,
facts .vhich cause confidence in
the health of the industry.
Out of the eighty-four facto
ries reported, sixtv-six reported
increase in salaries during the
year, and seventeen no change.
Ninetv per cent of the employ

the state can read and write.
Thus far int'e industrial reports
the highest reported literacy in
an industry' was 99.5 per cent.
This was in case of the silk mill9
of the state The cotton mills
showed that 97 per cent could
lead and write. The cordage
milla had an average of 98.3. The
knitting nulls showed a percent
age in this report of 97.

laugh between the bovs during
their battles with snowballs.
Dr. Chas. Lane will lecture

of the teachers and the hoarding
pupils who will spend Thanks

We seldom have the pleasure
of enjoying such a rare treat as
we did last Tuesday morning,
when Lieutenant J. J London
gave a lecture in behalf of the
school. He described fully the
mine, submarine and torpedo
boats, which are now being used
in the present war between Ger
many and the Allies.
Mr. London has visited all
parts of the world and is compe
tent of explaining many things of
interest to us. We hope to be so
fortunate as to rave him present
at our opening exercises again
before this school term expires. .
