WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 191c.
The war in Europe continues
in favor of the Allies, and the
indications now are that they
will yet be victorious. The Ger
mans have been fighting desper
atelv and resisting all attacks as
stubbornly as they could, but the
Allies continue to advance in
every direction.
The resistance toy the French
to the German assaults at Ver
dun continues successfully, and
surprised not only the Germans
but the world generally. Their
successful resistance at Verdun
seems to have been a turning
point in the war.
The national convention of
the Prohibition party met last
week at St. Paul, Minnesota, and
nominated as its candidate for
President ex-Gov. J. Frank Han
ly, of Indiana, who was at one
time a Republican Congressman
from that state. He was Gov
ernor of Indiana from 1905 to
1909. Of course nobody expects
him to be elected.
The destruction by the recent
flood in the western part of this , section
state was appalling, and the later
information from it does not di
minish the losses at first report

known before in this state, and
we hope may never be experi
enced again. Contributions are
being forwarded for the relief of
the sufferers, whose n eds were

Cultivating Peas.
From the Sanford Express.
Mr. John Kennedy, secretary
and treasurer of the Egs pt Im
provement Company, informs
The Express that some of the
land on his big farm at Cumnock
will not be under cultivation this
summer. He has been unable to
plant it on account of the wet
weather. He is now putting peas
on his stubble land and expects'
to put out about 140 bushels. We
understand there will be more
land under cultivation in this
in peas this year than
ever before- Our farmers are
learning to appreciate the value ,
of cover crops and legumes.

their success is due to their now
being well supplied with all the
required munitions of war, in
which they were sadly deficient
at the beginning of the war.
Their soldiers are now so much
batter drilled and trained, as
well as better equipped, than at
the beginning of the war, when
they were hardly tetter than a
mob of men without proper
equipment and training. Russia
can furnish more soldiers than
any other country in the world,
and their superior numbers now
organized and equipped are turn
ing the tide of battle in their fa
vor. England is also much better
prepared for war than when it
began, and her disciplined and
well equipped soldiers are now
successful in their battles with
the Germans, who at the begin
ning of the war were all proper
ly prepared. The continued im
provement of the Russian and
English armies indicates that
they will be victorious during
the remainder of the war.
The Republican as well as the
Democratic leaders in Congress
! thought it necessary that so large
an appropriation should be made.
Many persons may wonder why
such extensive and expensive na
val preparations are to be made,
and different reasons are giv
en. In our opinion the main
reason is the prospect of a war
with Japan. While both govern
ments are now professedly on
the most friendly terms, yet
there are many reasons for pre
dicting a war with Japan. In
deed such a war would probably
have begun a few years ago but
for Japan's financial condition
after her exhausting and expen
sive war with Russia.

The South's Progress.
In a recent address before the

Fairfax Harrison, the president
of the Southern Railway Com

statistics as to the South's pro

The public spirited citizens of
Raleigh are making active efforts
to secure the location in that city
of one of the twelve banks which
are to be established under this
new law. The minimum capital
that must be raised for the pro

the capital of any bank now

entire state. It must be remem

It isn't necessary to have a .stuffed

head off as it were. All you need do
is usa Dr. BhII's Pine-Tar-Honey. The
soothing and healing balsams open
the clogged air passages and in a short
time you get relief and start on the
road to recovery. Your nose s'ops

Many Republicans in this state
will be grieved to learn that not
so much money will be sent to
this state by their national com

as in former campaigns, when
many a one waxed rich for awhile
with the money sent to aid in
carrying the state for the Repub
lican candidates. Instead of
sanding so much money, as here
tofore, the committee will send
some prominent speakers to can

WAGES
Shall they be determined by

To the American Public:
Do you believe in arbitration or indus
trial warfare?;
The train employes on all the railroads
are voting whether they will give their leaders
authority to tie up the commerce of the
country to enforce their demands for a 100
million dollar wage increase.
The railroads are in the public service j
your service. This army of employes is in
the public service your service.
You pay for rail transportation 3 Billion
dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every
dollar from you goes to the employes.
On all the Southern railroads in 1915, seventy-five percent of the
train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average
of all) as shown by the payrolls

A 100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service (less than
one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
without a clear mandate from a public tri
bunal speaking for you.
t The railroads have proposed the settle
ment of this controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law, or by refer
ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. This offer has been refused by the
employes' representatives.
Shall a nation-wide strike or an
investigation under the Gov
ernment determine this issue?
