A TGI ST 29, 1917. PRICK TWO CENTS GOVERNOR THOMAS W. BICKETT COMES Ml IIPQ I FAVF AT 0 TWO CANDIDA-IKS 1 OR M V OF NKW YORK CU V Brilliant Chief Executive of Noith Carolina Will Address Rowan People at the Taber nacle at 1 1 O'clockIs Labor Day and a General Holiday and He Will Be Heard by a Tremendous Crowd One of the Ablest Men of the Nation and a Speaker of Wide Reputation. RUSSIAN LEADERS DEBATE AI MOSCOW CHARLOTTE Rownn people j;.e to have the pleas ure and the privilege of hearing Governor Thos. W. Bickett speak in Salisbury, next Monday, September 3rd. The speakinx will take place in the Tabernacle at 11 o'clock and shortly afternoon ihe governor will be taken in an automobile to Barber where he will catch train No. 22 for Raleigh by way of Winston-Salem and Greensboro. Mayor Walter II. Woodson some time ago extended Governor Bickett an invitation to come to Sjlisbury and make an address to the people on the issues of the day and has received a reply statins that he could come here next Monday, September 3rd, Labor Day. It was at once cjL'cided tliiit this would be a most auspicious time for North Carolina's brilliant chief executive to fill a date in this city. It is Labor Day, a national hol iday and practically all of the la boring people will be off duty for the day. The farmers, too, have gar nered their crops and will be in posi tion to come to hear the governor, while the business men and townspeo ple, always feeiing more or less at leisure on Labor Day, will turn out in great numbers to hear Mr. Bick ett. The speaking will take place at 11 o'clock Monday morning and will be In the Tabernacle. This is a large and comfortable building, with ample ventilation, and will accommodate several thousand people and it is safe to say that it will be packed. Immediately after noon the gover nor will be driven to Barber in an automobile where he will catch No. 22, the eastbound Asheville-Goldsboro train by way of Winston-Salem and Greensboro, doing this in order to reach Raleigh Monday afternoon. Governor Bickett is easily one of the most brilliant and forceful speak ers of this country, is familiar with all questions confronting the Ameri can people and the people of his own state and will have something inter esting and important to say to his people in Rowan. Governor Bickett is not only a splendid speaker but a most popular chief executive, a wise and able leader in affairs of state. He is strong for education and the up building of his great state and will bring a message of progress and good cheer to the people of Rowan. He is one of the most learned men of his day and never fails to interest and hold an audience. His coming to Salisbury to address the people of Rowan, one of the leading counties in the state, is cause for genuine re joicing. While the doties of his of fice are arduous and require the greater part of his time he has en deavored as far as possible to meet and mingle with his peaople since i his election to the highest office in the gift of the state electorate, and he willingly accepted an invitation to come to Salisbury for an address and chose Labor Day as the date. !The people of the county should turn out in great numbers to hear the distinguished governor on this oc sasion and it goes without saying that the Tabernacle will be filled lo overflowing Monday morning to hear him.

GERMANY'S REPLY MEETS ALL ARGENTINE DEMANDS. .Buenos Aires, Aug. 28. Germany's reply to Argentina's note, embodying demands in connection with the sub marine campaign as affecting Argen tine shipping, has been received. In official circles it was stated that the reply was satisfactory. According to the newspaper La IRazon the German note meets all the demands of Ar gentina. The note says that Germany "in order to maintain friendly relations with Argentina, is willing to modify her blockade of enemy coasts, allow ing freedom of the seas to vessels un der the Argentine flag carrying food." The not also promises the pay vent of an indemnity fcr the sinking of the Argentina steamer Toro by a German submarine.

In the Fokshani region a Russian division abandoned its position and fled in disorder. It facilitated a teu ton advance which continued all day yesterday on the Southern Rumanian front, the Austro-German troop: pushing northeast toward Ocna-Pant- zin railway. The lines were still yielding last night in the Varnitza re gion. Stormy weather Is apparently pro- venting any notable military activ ity on the Franco-Belgian front. The British after completing their success ful operations of Monday near Langemarck in which they pushed for ward a considerable distance on a front of more than a mile contented themselves last night with clearing out German advsnce positions in front of the new British line. In other sectors the British carried out successful raid and captured pris oners. Apparently there has been a halt in major activity along the French front in the Verdun region and the great campaign '-sneral Cardona is waging on the Isoi.zo front againt the Aus trians.
