This issue of The Record wel comes a new year. We extend to our many friends its happiest greetings. We are among those to whom the destinies of this new year are committed. ' 'All the prisoners in the prisons, All the righteous and the wicked, All the joyous, all the sorrowing, All the living, all the dying. Pioneers! 0 Pioneers!" Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote on a New Year's Day, "My life this year shall be a challenge, not a truce." To. all of us, a new year should be that a chal lenge. A challenge to past at tainment. A determination that this year shall be something higher than we have known. To dare to believe that God has something better for us to do; some holier estate to which He would call us. A challenge to our soul. Then, we should propose that duty shall no longer be regarded as an irksome, taxing thing. We are going to learn to sing as we work. Free burdens from their hurt, by felicity. Our work is one of our most glorious Drivi- leges, and we hope to make it a little better this year. To make it hard for we have heard of "the perdition of being safe. We challenge our work to down us. We shall challenge our hearts. We wish for friends. Not superficial acquaintances but friends, precious treasures here they are. We must earn them. We must be worthy of friend ship. This New Year let us challenge our capacity for friend ship. In the trinity of hope and faith and courage, may we be unde feated and undismayed, and seek the brighter side of the street. Pessimism, whining, selfishness, sin will challenge too but let us meet on the field of life, and rout them off. God helping us, we will fight the mean and sor did this year. "My life this year shall be a challenge, not a truce." All friends of education have learned with regret of the resig nation of Dr. J. Y. Joyner as su perintendent of public instruc tion, effective on January 1st. In resigning from the position which he has so acceptably filled for the past seventeen years, Dr. Joyner states that he needed a rest from his arduous labors and desired to give more time to his private business. As his success or, Governor Bickett has appoint ed Dr. E. C. Brooks of the chair of education in Trinity College, one of the best equipped and leading educators of the state. According to a recent "state ment from General March, chief of staff, the work of discharging men from camps is proceeding .at the rate of about 100,000 a week. Since the signing of the armistice, November 11th, more than a million men have been mustered out. Every effort is now being directed toward getting the men out of .service and back to the work in 'which they were formerly engaged. Of course this is a stupendous task and time will be required to com plete it. A issue of $750,000,000 treasury certificates of indebted- naco mnfnrino in SIX months.

George H. White, the last negro Congressman and who rep resented the second North Caro lina district at the time of the passage of the suffrage amend ment, died in Philadelphia last Saturday where he had been practicing law for the past 12 years. Twenty years ago he was one of the best known Republi- can politicians m eastern JNortn Carolina. Tub wr department has an- mm, AAU I nounced that 150 American com missioned officers of the air ser vice were killed in action in 1918 in France. Added to the large number of aviators kilted through accident while in training in this . m . m country and in France, the total casualties from this branch of the service is auite large, con sidering the limited number of men engaged. The tremendous ovations giv en President Wilson on his visit to London last week eclipsed any thing of the kind ever betore seen, there. On Saturday he made tw6 addresses and his hear ers, embracing the world's of ficialdom" finance and business, were held with, intense interest in everv word snoken. Press dispatches state that no pub- utterances in Great Britain in some time have command ed such prominence in the newsDaDers in London. The main idea emphasized by the President was -that the world is eaflrer for a lasting peace of jus tice and right and toward that end "there is a great tide run ning in the hearts of men." PAREGORIC. BY R- Dr. Killmore practices medicine in Ohio. Ford will ask for a recount of votes. Headline. Ford wants but little here below and he'll get it. Some women couldn't keep a secret if they were locked in a dungeon. They would tell it to themselves. Emma Sodawasser has sued Frank Sodawasser for divorce. Frank has been drinking too much firewasser. Doctors have been saying that wet feet would bring on influenza, but a man has been found in Kansas with two cork legs who had that disease. A serious disturbance in the capital of Turkey has been reported. That's nothing. There was a very serious dis turbance with turkey over in this coun try last week. Mrs. Bertha Wick is suing her hus band, Alvin Wick, for divorce, alimony and a restoration of her maiden name Bortha Lamp. She must want a new wick for her lamp. War's Casualties 26,000,000. More than 50,000,000 men were raised for war by all the nations engaged. The casualties on the' battlefields were more than 26,000,000. About 8,000,000 men have been killed. These estimates are necessarily rough. They are also disputed. One estimate places the cas ualties by nations as follows: Britain . 2,000,000 Germany 6,960,0C0 France . 4,000,000 Austria 4, 500, 000 Russia '. 5,000,000 Italy . 1,500,000 Serbia . 400,000 Belgium 350,000 iurkey 750,000 Rumania '200,000 200,000 236,000 Bulgaria United States Total 26,986,000 Total number of fighting men is esti mated as follows: Britain 8,000,000 France 6,500,000 Germany 12,000,000 Austria . 6,000,000 America . 3,600,000 Russia 10,000,000 Italy 3,500,000 Turkey . 1,000,000 Serbia 600,000 Belgium 500,000 Greece . 300,000 Rumania 500,000 Smaller nations are not included in these tables. It will probably be many months before anything like accurate figures can be given. Sanford Express: Mr. L. H. Hipp, of Deep River township, has made over 2,700 gallons of syrup for himself and neighbors this season. There was more home made sorghum made in Lee this year than ever before in the history of the county. This is a great saving to the farmers as the price of molasses has advanced along with other things and is now about as high as anything they can buy. An Abuse of the Telephone By F. A. MITCHELL (Copyright. 19X7, Western Nwpaper Union.) Til call you up about nine o'clock and let you know the result." "You can't call me up because I have no telephone in my house." "No telephone? Why, I supposed every house had a telephone nowa days." "Mine hasn't. It had one and I had It taken out." "Why so?" "Well, there's a little story about it. If you care to hear it, I'll tell it to you. You know, I live out at Hibton, an hour's ride from the city. When I was first married, my wife was alone all .day, I being in town at business, so we concluded to put In a telephone so that she could cail me up once in a while to break her loneliness, or if anything unusual occurred. "Well, the first thing to be com municated was, 'I caught the mouse I set the trap for ; what shall I do with It?' The next thing to be com municated was, 'Someone Is 111 la the house opposite; the doctor's convey ance is standing before the door. ; Chen she called me up to ask me to bring her a spool of thread when I came out in the evening. I must walk ei blocks to a store where I could buy the kind she wanted, and she could get it by walking two blocks, or send for it by telephone. I told her to do this and she said she didn't like to ask the storekeeper to send so small a package costing only two cents. It was the same with an yeast cake. But all this was nothing to what happened one night when I stayed in town taking an account of stock. At ten o'clock I was rung up and my wife said: Tm going to bed, dear. ItV awful to think that you won't be at home till tomorrow evening?' I tried to cheer her by promising to go home early the next evening, and after telephoning half a dozen kisses I hung up the receiver and continued my work. Ten minutes later I wa called again: M 'Reginal 1 Oh Reginald r "What is it, dear?' "I hear sounds below. Someone trying to break into the house. "What could I do? I couldn't ask my wife to go down and face a robber. I asked her what the sounds were like and she said they were like those made by someone boring. "I now really became frightened myself. I was not so much afraid of burglnrs attacking my wife; for 1 knew that she, had her bedroom door locked and furniture heaped against it. What I feared was that she would be frightened to death. However, 1 must plan for her. "I called a council of those worktng with me in stock taking, stating that my wife was locked in her room at home while burglars were below bor ing In the door, doubtless intending W make a hole to put in an arm to remove the chain and open the door. All voted It a complicated case. It wns suggested that I telephone the police at Hilton to go at once to my house, surround it and capture the burglar. I wondered that I had not thought of this plan myself, for It was very simple, and a telephone mes sage from me from the city would be as effective as from my wif e in Hilton. "I called up the police in Hilton and told them to go at onc.e to my house, where they would find some one trying to bore his way in. The man at the desk said that burglars didn't really effect entrance in that way, but he would send some men right over. "While awaiting the result my wife telephoned me that she had located the boring. It was at the door of a storm shed which was held closed by an iron hook. I thought that any burglar who planned to effect an en trance to my house there was a fool. After unhooking the storm door ho would have to open the door within, which was protected by an excellent lock. "It was not long before I received word from the police at Hilton. 'We got him. Tie is now In a cell.' "I at once telephoned my wife that th danger was past. But realizing that she had suffered a shock, I said that I would go home on the one o'clock train. "I reached the house about two o'clock and found several of the neigh bors attempting to soothe my wife, whose nerves had been terribly strained. While sympathizing with her I received a telephone message from the police that their prisoner claimed to be my wife's brother and desired that I come immediately and Identify him. "'Great heavens! could this be so? "I answered the summons Immedi ately and on reaching the station, there waiting for me sat Jim Cham bers, my brother-in-law, true enough. "'What In thunder' he began. "What the dickens were you try ing to break in ?" '"I had a key to the side door and I was trying to cut away a bit of wood In order to lift the hook on the storm door.' " 'You've scared Mollle out of her senses. Why didn't you ring?' "'I thought I could get in without waking her?' "That's the end of the story and the end of a telephone In my house. If the things could be v.sed only for legitimate purposes they would be a great convenience, but, they won t co for nervous wives to say sweet things to their absent husbands."
