Warning is Sweeping the State That
Food Lew Violators Will Get
Caught and Get Punished Too The
Hoarder Had Better Look Out
(Special to. The Post.)
Raleigh, Jan. 24. Marse Henry
will get you if you don't watch out."
In effect this is the warning that
is .being passed out by merchants to
greedy consumers iwho have suggest
ed when they could not purchase more
than five ipounds of sugar that they
Could get in equal amount at other
stores.
Merchant? at a number of North
Carolina points have called to the at
tention of the Food Administration
the danger of -consumers going from
store to store and purchasing the
maximum amount of sugar at each
store and may have suggested that
ii card system be put into effect. The
reply of the Food Administration to
this suggestion is:
"The Food Administration does not
believe that any system of rationing
is necessary for the American people.
Patriotic and unselfish people will
follow the suggestions of the Food
Administration with regard to food
stuffs. The greedy and selfish oms
will be made to not only by exereiss
of the authority vested in the Food
Administration but by the force of
public opinion. A consumer who pur
chased the maximum amount of s i
gar at more than one store at Hie
same time would be guilty of hoard
ing and would be subject to a fine of
$5,000 or two years imprisonment or
both."
In cases of willful hoarding the
Food Administration officials do net
hesitate to say that they will secjre
indictments anu prosecute.

KKDKEY TROUBLE REPORTED REACHED BY NEW HERBAL

. - DERFUL STORY.
Almost everybody in this seftion
knows . L. Teal, the prominent fra
ternal worker and machinist in the
Pif oximitjr Mills, .and whose home ad
dress is Box 92, Proximity.
Mr. Teal is an active member of
. the Redraen and has the distinction
of "having gone through all the chairs
of the Woodmen of the World. His
popularity is due in no small measure
to his active interest in t'ne affairs of
his community and his advice on so
cial and political matters is much
9Ugbt
Mr. Teal has been afflicted for a
Jjng time with a particularly malig
nant form of stomach trouble :hich
seemed to defy all treatment until a
friend f lis, Mr. Basinger, told him
of Dreco, the new herb medicine which
he said helped hinv. wonderfully
v Here is Mr. Teal's story of 'his ex
perience with Dreco. It will prove
interesting reading for the hundreds
' of men and women in this section who
think their eases are beyond relief.
Stead every word:
. "I 'have been suffering for years
and the doctors said' I would not live

BORROWED A SCUTTLE OF COAL
Local Fuel Administrator Linn Runs

Borrower and Acts as Delivery
; tin. .
A concrete evidence of a coal short
age in this city and .that it is hitting
all alike was the scene this morning
. of the local fuel administrator, Stahle
Linn, Esq., carrying a scuttle filled
with coal . to Sis office, the fuel ad
ministrator - -having borrowed this
from the county court house. '. Al
though Mr. Linn is endeavoring in ev
ery way to have the situation reliev
ed and has been promised thirty-five
cars of coal .during the month of
January, five of which have already
arrived and been distributed in half
ton lots, he finds .himself out of fuel
. at i. is office. And Mr." Linn was
about as glad to get this scuttle of
cos this morning as heas when he

c s nic fuel had been ordered con-(
. J to him during January. ' ;"
ed on. They made an X-ray picture
and said I (had a 'kidney stone.'
"I have spent between $500 and
$600 trying to get cured and two bot
tles of Dreco have done me more good
than everything else put together. I
suffered such pains in my back that
I eould not bend over nor stoop. Wlhen
I had taken three quarters of the first
bottle of Dreco every pain had left
me.
"The reason I ever bought the first
bottle was because it had helped my
friend, Mr. Basinger, so much.
"I exxect to take a half dozen bot
tles before I stop and feel that I will
be permanently cured."
Dreco is the purely herbal medicine
that is causing such a furore through
out this section. Hundreds of men
and women are taking it regularly
and reporting remarkable results in
caass of stomach and kidney disor
ders, liver complaints, constipation,
rheumatism, catarrh and similar
troubles.
Dreco is dispensed by most gsod
drug stores and is particularly rec
ommended in Salisbury by Smith
Drug 'Co.; and in Spencer by Rowan

CHINA MIST DISAVOW
ATTACK ON U. S. SHIP
Washington, Jan. 22. An impera
tive demand for a disavowal of the
shelling of American gunboat Mon
ocacy and prompt punishment for
those responsible has been made on
the Chinese Government by Paul
Rekisch, American Minister to China.
In addition, indemnity will be requir
ed. The shelling took place last
Thursday at a point above Yochow, pn
the Yangtse, and a sailor O'Brien
wis killed and two others wounded.
The report received by the State
Department today failed to give any
details of the affair. It is understood
the Monocacy was fired on by a band
of armed Chinese members pf the
Southern revoutionary forces. It is
assumed here that the attack was de
signed to make trouble for the Chi
nese Government.
(Asheville Times.)
Just at the time when Asheville
merchants are interested in the ques
tion of the cost deliveries Ida Tar
bell, the well-known writer has an
I article in the Woman's Home Compan
ion along the same line. . Misy Tar
bell says that the cost in men and
money is staggering and that since
the government turned its attention
to this matter careful investigations
have been made with a result that
really should make American people
ashamed of themselves. According to
Miss Tarbell:
"One careful research body declares
that in the ordinary retail ' grocery
stores of the country the expense of
delivery is three per tent of. the net
sales. It was found that in Washing
ton city (seven and one-fourth per
cent of the gross sales of all products
was spent in delivery. The Commer
cial Economy Board, a committee of
the Council for National Defense, has
been pushing the problem of delivery
reforms the hardest. It declares that
we could easiliy release half the men,
the money, and the equipment employ
edin delivery if we would go about it
in an intelligent and determined fash
ion. Something of what this means
will he seen if we consider what it
takes simply to take care of the work
of the retail grocery stores of the
country. There are more than 200.-
600 of these shops. They employ over
100,000 men in deliveries, and as
many wagons and tracks. The eost
of the business s something like $76,
000,000 a year."
Asheville merchants can solve the
problem of the delivery question in
Asheville. All that is necessary is for
the merchants to get together and
agree upon an economical method.
One delivery or twe das will meet
the needs of the people and there can
De no complaint of there is united ac
tion on the part of the merchants.
The special delivery boy can be elim
inated entirely and after a little while
the housekeepers will learn to do their
ordering in advance.

AHRMN
ARE STILL GROWING
ITEMS FROM WOODLEAF.
All Available Labor Befog Used in the
Development of the Section Albe
marle Also is Growing Along With
the Power Developments.
(Special to The Post.)
Albemarle, Jan. 23. May be the
fuel and food shortage, together with
other war depressions are disturbing
the growth and prosperity of a num
ber of North Carolina towns, but this
does not apply to Badin and Albe
marle, as both of these towns are lit
eralliyl building new resident sections
by the block rather than by the resi
dence. The Tallassee Power Co., at
Badin is at this time actively engag
ed, using every available laborer and
carpenter in the erection of an ad
ditional residence section which covers
a scope of territory one mile long and
three-quarters of a mile wide. Many
of the houses in this territory have
already been partially completed and
streets are being laid out and sewer
placed for the remainder. In addi
tion to this new section of Badin one
mile long by three-quarters of a mile
wide work has just been started in
grading streets and putting dowu
sewer for the erection of 300 other
new residences. When these buildings
are all completed and occupied it is
pretty safe to estimate that an addi
tional population of three to five thou
sand people will have been added to
the already large and thriving new
town of Badin.
Albemarle is building up as rapid
lyi as contractors can push forward
the work of construction, especially is
this done by the Wcassett Miils Co..
Which concern is literally adding block
after block to its new residence sec(
tion.
It should be a matter of pride to
every resident of North Carolina to
know that Stanly county can boast of
this trentendous building movement
which is being so rapidJy pushed for
ward at this time of seeming busi
ness depression, and especially build
ing depression.
Woodleaf, Jan. 22 Mr. Alton Sha

living around Woodleaf for a number
of years. In his younger days he
worked for Mr. J. K. Culbertson's
father until the war broke out, and
when his country called he went and
volunteered, and went through the en
tire war without a scratch. After the
war, he came back to th formr place
Where he was and after a number of
years moved to his small farm near
Woodleaf. He had been suffering with
a cancer in -his threat for some time.
After long suffering he passed to his
reward January 21. He leaves a large
circle of friends and relatives to
mourn their loss. The funeral was
conducted by Rev. Mr. Poe, and the
remains were laid to rest in the cem
etery at the church.

FLETCHEE ALLEN BARRINGER
On Friday evening, January 18th,
1918, God called to his home above
Fletcher (AUen Barringer, elest son
of J. M. Barringer, of Clereland, N. C.
lie was itrickan wifh pneumonia just
ne weeT ago but was desperately ill
from the beginning, "fletch," s he
was called, was the light of his home.
Just blooming into young manhood,
having recently passed this 21st birth
day, he had the .promise of long life
before him. His genial, lovable nature
had drawn around him many young
friends, but neither he nor they were
looking for the summons when it
came.
He was a student at Lenoir Col
lege last year and a part of this
year. .He won several medals last
year for his efficiency in his lessons
and declamations. We can't under
stand why Fie ten has been called so
soon, but there's a beautiful song
which says, "Sometime, somewhere
We'll Understand." Until that time,
my dear fogeaved relatives and
friends, look to Jesus, and may the
consolation of grace sustain you un
til life's work is done and you meet
to -part no more.
"A precious one from us has gone,
A- voce we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in the home,
Which never can be (filled.
God, in His wisdom, bas recalled
The boon His love had given,
And though the body slumbers there,
The soul is safe in Heaven."

MUNITIOKS CROWN
BY SEED WELL SOWN
We read a lot about the mills which
make our war munitions. We-read
of Uncle Sam's big bills provofia
war conditions. We read about the
railroad lines which find their pow
ers tested; of freight from factories
and mines, all tangled and congested.
Munition plants work day and night
to furnish guns and rifles for those
who go across to fight where horror
stuns and stifles. But there are not
the only things that constitute muni
tions, for cruel, ruthless warfare
brings some complex propositions. As
great as is the army's need for guns
And shells and powder, its cry for
ctuff on which to feed resounds a
Sreat deal louder. We've got to arm
oar righting men with bread and beef
and bacon to give them strength and
rigor when their drives are undertak
en. To feed them as they should be
fed is our great obligation, so they
may charge where they are led with
grim determination. To do this ail
of us must toil, forsaking easy bench
es, and spade and dig the garden soil
to make our own munition plants
potatoes, beans and .onions, and, smil
ing bravely, meet the chance that rais
ing corn breeds bunions. Let's grow
munitions in our yards, beets, squash
and peas and lettuce. Let's be a real
Home Garden Guard or else the Huns
will get us. Now write to the Na

TROTZKY PREPARES
NOTE TO ENTENTE
He Returns to Petrograd During Re
cess in the Peace Negotiations.
Petrograd, Jan. 22. The peace ne
gotiations at Breet-Litovsk have been
postponed for a few days. Foreign
Minister Trotzky is again in Petro
grad and, accenting to the evening
newspapers, is preparing another note
to the Entente Allies.
Premier Lanine has ordered the
Red Guard to comb the city for "the
motor car with Red Guards and sail
ors who killed Shingareff and Kokosh
kine." The murder of the former min
isters as they lay sick in hospital has
created a feeling of revulsion among
the Bolsheviki officials, who are anx
ious to prevent the Situation getting
beyond their control.
The Petrograd Council of Work
men's and Soldiers' Delegates has
adopted a resolution of the strictest
censure of the murders, declaring
it never could approve of summary
justice and that no crimes had been
committed by those killed.
