r- n-"' (ElHt ham tcrri E. A, LONDON, Editor. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 7. 1917. Copper cents are now in great demand- This may seem some what strange in view of the fact that money is more plentiful row than heretofore. Cents or pen nies, as they are generally called, are now in mucu uemauu uctauoc they are needed in paying the new internal war tax on many articles and in many ways not heretofore used. For instance, the use of pennies is much great er at all railioad stations now be cause of the war tax on all pass enger tickets and freight bills. Any one traveling now must pay 8 per cent additional to the cost of his ticket. The increase in postage now requires an addi tional cent on every letter, the rate being three cents now in stead of two as heretofore. Save your pennies and make change easier. The recent reverses of the Ital ians will doubtless encourage the Germans to continue the war longer than they otherwise would or could. For several weeks past the allies have been steadily driv ing back the Germans on the French frontier. These success es were no' doubt having a dis couraging effeet, not merely upon the German soldiers, but also upon the German people at home. A continuation of such successes would doubtless have brought about an earlier termination of tne war than may now be ex pected since the Germans have been much encouraged by their successes in Italy. Russia has not quit the war, as has been erroneously stated in some newspapers, but cannot be relied upon for any offensive of important movement. Her situ ation has enabled the Germans to remove large bodies of their troops from Russia to Italy and probably to the French front. The arrival of our troops in France has greatly encouraged our allies there, but their num ber is not yet sufficient to have any material effect. The election yesterday in a few states of the union aroused no interest in this state. Indeed, many of our people did not know there was any election anywhere yesterday. The people of this state were fortunate in not hav ing any election or any political campaign this fall. They do not now think much about par tisan politics but more about their crops and the high prices at which they are selling. Even the most bitter Republicans are not now blaming President Wil son and the Democratic party for the present prices of cotton and tobacco. Of course, how ever, if those products were sell ing at low prices, as was the case three j ears ago. the blame would be laid upon the President and the Democratic party. In the election yesterday the overwhelming sentiment was in favor of a loyal support of our government in the war with Ger many. Both the Republicans and Democratic leaders are equally patriotic in their public utterances and exhibited a most commendable zeal in their ef forts to rally the people to a vig orous prosecution of the war. A Soldier's Speech. Capt. J. S. Allen will speak at the courthouse at this place to morrow (Thursday) afternoon at 3 o'clock. He comes here in the interest of the Y. M, C. A. work for our so.diers and a treat is in store for all who are so fortu nate to attend, and it is hoped that a large crowd will be pres ent. He is an officer in the Brit ish army who has seen active ser vice in France and has been so severely wounded as to be placed on retired service. He is a mem ber of the famous Princess Pat (Canadian) regiment that was almost annihilated in one of its desperate fights with Germany. ib admission is charged. Wool Fund for Red Cross. The following has been receiv ed for wool since the last issue of The Record: Previously reported $46 35 Mr. and Mrs A. H. Bright 1 00 Mrs Numa Perry 1 00 Mrs. L. R. Exline 25 Miss Mary Utley 1 CO Who next? Letter From Camp Jackson. The following interesting let ter was written to his parents near here by Lieut. Jas. S. Milli ken, who is in the medical de parment at Camp Jackson, near Columbia, S. C It was not in- tended for publication, but we are kindly permitted to favor our readers with it. It follows: "Today, Oct. 27th, is as warm and pretty as any summer day. The earlier part of the week was cool enougn for an overcoat. There was a cold, northwest wind I blowing. We live on the highes' hill in the camp and our barrack? ! . I H 1 i race tne norm, iviy room nas an eastern exposure and is a warm room. At first we did not have heat but they are just finishing the boiler just outside of my win dow and tonight we will have steam heat. There is running water with shower bath just across the hall from my room. Our mess is served in this same barracks. We get good meals but they cost us $1 a day. "Camp Jackson is named for Gen. Andre v Jackson and is lo cated six mites northeast of Co lumbia. It is connected with Columbia by trolley. A public highway and the trunk lines that pass through Columbia have nu merous freight lines running throughout the camp. There are hundreds of automobiles (they call them transfers here) run ning back and forth. The big majority of them are high priced seven-passenger cars. Very few Fords. These cars charge 50c per head and deliver you to any point in the camp. Round trip on the car line for soldiers is only 15c, but I live on the oppo site side ot the camp, and it is over three miles from here to the trolley, and on account of the re cent dry spell the sand is from 6 to 10 inches deep. There are several roads and streets in my camp, but the best one is not complete yet. It is a concrete road. They have completed two miles of it but still lack one mile of reaching us; will possibly be up this far by Christmas. The cantonment has not been graded. They do not dig any foundations for building. For instance, our barracks are on the side of a hill. The rear porch is level with the ground, and the front porch is nearly 20 feet above the ground. Now this highway that I refer red to is graded and runs along the edge of the cantonment, and one has a pretty view of the nu merous hills and ravines. The sides of the hills are covered with small pines, and where they do not interfere with the plans of the government they are left standing. For instance, drill grounds or for barracks they are cut down and the stumps remov ed. Most of this is done by draft ed men. Leading off from this road are numerous other roads and streets. Roads are not en gineered with any idea of system but for convenience. The streets are built like city streets and numbered alphabetically, begin ning from A. I live on W, so you can see that it is 23 blocks from the base hospital to the op posite side of the camp, or an pqual distance from home to Pittsboro. The barracks are num bered according to the street they are on A 10. Different branches of the service are quar tered separately. Our nearest neighbors outside of the base hospital unit are the 306th engin eers. "It is astonishing to see how rapidly these buildings go up Carpenters left these barracks on Tuesday. Plumbers and electri cians took charge, gave us light that night and running water the next night and we will get heat tonight. They have laid the foundation, put up a big boil- er, laid pipe line ana coupled up pipes in three days. WThen I came on Monday there were no buildings northwest of us, but today there are between 75 and 100 big buildings over there. They are putting on the roofs and weather boarding. Their hammers make one continuous racket all day long, never miss a moment. There are several thou sand laborers at work here. All get big pav. Contractors get big pay for rushing the buildings. They have to be in a hurry for Camp Jackson has to accommo date 45,000 mn this winter. Only between 15,000 and 20,000 here now. "The next time I will write you about the hospital. This is .a. city within itself." Certain Cure for Croup. Mrs. Rose Middleton, of GreeDville, 111., has had experience in the treat ment of this disease She says," When mv children were small my son had croup frequently. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy always broke up these attacks immediately, and I was nev r without it in the house, I have taken it myself f r coughs and colds with good results." adv Rubbing Eases Pain Rubbing ends the liniment tingling through the flesh and quickly tops pain.

What the Quarantine Law Requires. Editor of The Record: Do you know what is required of you bv the new state quaran tine law? It requires parents or householders to report every case of wliooping cDUgh, measles, diph theria, smallpox, scarlet ft ver and typhoid fever occurring in their homes to the county quar antine officer. It requires physi cians to report every case of these diseases that they are call ed on to attend to the county Quarantine officer and to do this I within 24 hours. It requires pub- lie school teachers to fill out and j return the blanks furnished them by the county quarantine officer, j and to follow the rules and regu- lations'sent to protect them and ; their schools in case of an out I break of any contagious disease. It requires county quarantine of ficers to send any parent or house holder in whose hjme a contagi ous disease has been reported a yellow placard with the name of i ,he'disase printed on it with in structions for posting the placard on the front of the house; it re quires him to send instructions for the treatment and control of the patient in the house The quarantine officer is required to enforce the quarantine law and to make it give the protection for which it was intended. Counties reporting many cases of contagious diseases are given credit for doing good work. It shows that the people are co-operating with the quarantine offi cer ana are reporting all or a great many of their cat.es. It shows that thev are interested in i reducing illness and saving the I lives ot little children, and i ! means that there will be fewe deaths to report later on. The names and addresses of householders having had a case of contagious diseases during the month of September, which were reported to me, are printed be low. If you know of other cases whose names do not appear here such information given the quar antine officer will be appreciated and held in strict confidences It may be tne means ot saving a life or keeping down an epi demic. The following cases were re ported: Scarlet fever Clay Ivy, Gold ston. John G. Hanner, Ore Hill. Jacob Dixon, Bonlee. Oscar Moody, Bonlee. Diphtheria Lelia Taylor.Mon- cure Whooping cough Milton Part ridge, New Hill. L. E. FARTHING, Co. Quarantine Officer. Mrs. P. 0. Stuchell Tells How She Cured Her Son of a Cold. "When my son Ellis was sick with a cold last winter I gave him Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. It helped him at once and quickly broke up his cold," writes Mrs. P. O. Stuchell, Ho mer City, Pa. This remedy has been in use for many yt-ars. Its good qual i ies have been fully proven by many thousands of people It is pleasant and safe to take, adv The Seaboard has established one main office at Hamfet. The general superintendent of the northern district, R. S. Marshall, has his headquarters there. This will necessitate a large force in the new office. An Old Man's Stomach. As we srrow older and less active, less and less food is required to meet the dem nds of our bodies. If too much is habitually taen, the stom ach will rebel. When a man reaches the advanced age of 85 or 90, you will find that he is a light eater. Be as careful as you will, however, you will occasionally e it more than you should and will feel the need of Chamber lain's Tablets to correct the disorder. These tablets do not contain pepsin, but strengthen the stom ich and en able it to perform its functions natu rally. Thev also cause a gentle move ment of the bowels, adv News and Observer: A North Carolinian was among the wound ed in the first clash of American soldiers in France with the Ger mans. He was Sergeant Edgar M. Halyburton' son of George B. Hai v hurt0". of Stonv Point, Abxnder county- Trust North Carolines to be somewhere around if there 13 any fi2fctmg going on.
