E COf RIEK ISSUED WEEKLY. PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN $1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE volume xxxxni. Asheboro, North Carolina, Thursday, February 21. 1918. NUMBER 8. TH "OVER THE TOP" By Arthn Gay Empey to Be Publish ed in The Courier ' The Courier will begin the publica tion of "Over the Top," the great war story by Artur Guy Empey, the Amer ican boy who got into the war two years ahead of his country. For a year and a half, until he fell desper ately wounded in No Mans' Land, this American, battling at the side of the British Tommies, saw more actual lighting and real warfare than any war correspondent, and more, proba bly, than any other man who has writ ten about the war. His experiences are grim, but they are thrilling and their recital is lightened by a touch of humor the same humor that has enabled this boy to pass through the scorching fires of war and come out, wounded in body but sound and sunny in spirit. With all its dramatic moments, "Over the Top" is not a recital only of the horrors and the perils of mod ern war. In relief, there are accounts of the fun and the comradeship of the trenches. There are compensations for the hardships and the dangers that the soldiers are forced to face and these are described by Empey in a most interesting way. The story is a startling mixture of sunshine and shadow and, strange as it may seem, the sunshine predominates.' The story, also, is full of informa tion that is of practical value ' and very great interest to all Americans right now. One reads in "Over the Top" how bombs are made and thrown, how trenches are dug and consolidat ed, how barb-wire is used to ensnare the charging enemy, how machine guns are operated, how the fighting men are operated, how the lighting men are fed and clothed, how the sol diers occupy their time when not en gaged' in actual lighting. RUSSIAN AND GERMAN ARMISTICE TERMINATES Expires At Noon Today and State of War Will Be Resumed Petro grad Denounced Armistice Berlin, Feb. 17.

An official statement issued by the German im perial government states that the Pet rograd government by its conduct has denounced the armistice which had been in existence on the Russian front, This denouncement is regarded as having occurred February 10.

Ste phenson, director of service for the War Savings Committee of North Carolina, after a close study of th figures which represent North Caro lina's total accumulated wealth com pared with the value of her annual production. According to Mr. Ste phenson, North Carolina's wealth is 9. not) ono.non whilp she nroduces ev ery year the sum of $500,000,000. This means he says, that the State pro duces every four years as much wpftlth as (the has been able to ac cumulate in 250 years. That we are a people wno waste anu spend unnecessarily Mr. Stephonson rlnocn't hpnitoto to snv. He has facts to prove it. The average wealth per family in noun aro ina, ne bh,h, $846, or $169 per capita. Recent sur veys show that a fair standard cf liv ing calls foe $709 per family or $142 per capita. This leaves a surplus of $136 per family or $27 per capita, which is far r.bove that required by an efficient standard of living. "If every individual," says Mr. Ste phenson, "Will save his $27, this year and lend to the Government only $16.72 of that amount, which hn has been asked to do by the Government by purchasing War Savings Storms United States Governmnt Bonds North Carolina then will hnve no trou v.t i.

Paii.. to the shows when they are open. All of the churches, schools, moing pic ture shows and public meeting places have been closed on account of con tagious diseases, especially meningitis in the city but there is great improve ment in that. Another attraction in Greenville is the girls and it is ru mored that nearly all of the boys of our company have girls, each one claiming to have the fairest and swet est; one of the boys told me that the judge of the recorder's court had the sweetest daughter, another that the mayor's daughter was the prettiest. We came near having a contest to set tle the dispute. The usual good fellowship and kind ly interest in each other seems to have grown into brotherly love. The faith ful performance of duty seems the up permost desire in the hearts of the boys. The health at the camp is great ly improved; Company K has only one man in the base hospital, that is Moss Spoon, son of Mr. Graham Spoon, of Asheboro Star Route, who had pneu monia several weeks ago and then a relapse. There are about ten of the boys at the divisional infirmary, but with no serious ailments, mumps and cold being the worst. The Company received the numbers for the men on Saturday and each man will be num bered, a record of which will be kept in the war department. Lieutenant William Lamlis of Oxford, lu'.s recent ly been assigned to Company K, as second lieutenant. This fills up the list of officers for the company; as yet the company only has 206 men but after the 23rd they will probably be re c mi ted to 250 men, which is war strength. The boys are very much in- teresiedjn the. SmUeagg Itoa&s, 8JuLA large number of taem have received them. On Sunday on our way out to camp we met twenty-two large four-horse wagon loads of stable manure which was being removed from the camp; some of it is taken to a part of the government's tract which will be used for trucking which will be carried on by prisoners. There are 18,000 horses in the ."0th division and sever:1! of them die daily and are hauled away aid buried. "Father and son day" v. as observed Sunday.

The sneak.-rs visited three different places in the camp and made speeche s, bands from the camp furnished music. The fathers of the boys were invited to come for the day and a large num her were present. One of the most interesting places at the camp is the bayonet field where the men are drilled in the use ot bay onets. Scaffolds ere built and from them suspended bunches of short sticks with marks for head, heart, etc.; the men use their bayonets in these dummies, which represent the enemy. Ladies are not permitted on the com pany streets and since this ruling lady visitors are not able to see as many of the boys as heretofore. The boys receive their lady relatives and visitors in the tents of the officers. The men at camp do noUscem to know anv thine more of the date of their departure for France than we in Ran dolph county. Mrs. Wm. C. Hammer. Substitute Rule Explained Wnnhinirton. Feb. 19.

County Sunday School Association Reading Course As a part of the teacher-training work now being encouraged and di rected by the Sunday School Associa tion a reading course has been mapped out which will afford a splendid oppor tunity to all teachers and officers and workers in general to increase their efficiency. The course will cover two years of work or reading. The first year course has been outlined and the second year course will be announced later. The reading for the first year will consist of two books, one general book and one departmental book. The general book will cover the field of Sunday School organization and man agement and will bz read first. .Fol lowing this the departmental book will deal with the particular department in .which, the reader js intereste. The list of books follows: " ' ' " General book: "How to Run a Lit tle Sunday School," Ferguson. Depart mental books: "The Elementary Divi sion Organized for Service." This book will be used by teachers of pupils up to twelve years of age. In the secondary division any one of the following four books may be chosen: "The Secondary Division Organized for Service," "The Unfolding Life," "Tho Intermediate Worker and His Work," "The Senior Worker and His Work." In tin- Adult Department "The Adult Worker and I.e. Work" will be used. The book for si-perinten lents will be announced lat- Any. hi:.' w islr.n;.; to do so may sub stitute deiiomiiiat:o!ial book covering i'ie ground of any of the suggested books and rec"ie the same credit for reading it. Upon the completion of the first year course a card of recognition will be given and upon completion of the whole course a handsome reading course diploma will be given. Those taking the reading course will receive recognition at the township conven tions and schools and townships will receive credit for reading course work at the county convention. Who should take the reading course? Every officer and teacher in the coun ty who is not taking the regular teacher-training could profitably take the reading course. Every superin tendent should make an earnest effort to enroll every teacher in his school at once. Teachers and officers in one school can take the course at little cost by passing the books as they are read but wherever possible every one should own tho books for himself as they should be a part of every work er's library. The price of the g.-neral book, "How to Run a Little Sunday School," is 7o cents and can be hrd from Mr. K. ('. Johnson, of Asheboro, in a few ays. The departmental books will b.i on hand by the time there is a demand for them. Mr. Johnson has consulted to handle the books for the conven ience of those taking the course thus eliminating the necessity of ordering from the publishers. Those wishing to enroll for the course should send their names to the superintendent of religious education so that they may receive credit for the work done. ready to push their campaign for all it is worth and hopes to sell many more of the folks these, stamps which are to help win the war and at the same time be a profit, ible investment.

Sunday was pro hibition day in Raleigh, with Capt. liiehmoii 1 Pearson Hi b.-on the chief orator of a half dozen speakers from other states who liliid the pulpits morning and evening at the evangeli cal churches and tli b.g city auditori um in the afterno;n being taxed to he'd Mime o,000 peopV gathered to hear tli - hero of the Mcrnmac of 20 y-. iiis a; o.

Ti;.- r -ason i,e talked prohibition at this time and place (where i-wrything is alr.-ady so bone-dry that $10 a quart will not got the goods except occa sionally) is this: Working for Dry Legislators The time is approaching wdien the members of the next legislature are to be elected and the next general as sembly will either ratify or refuse to ratify the new amendment to the Fed eral Constitution, recently submitted to the States by Congress. At first blush it looks like a waste of energy to put up a fight at this time against a corps as dead as Old Booze appears to be in North Caro lina. But when one reflects upon the cold deck headed out to the prohibition or ganization of the State in the last house, over which Col. Pete Murphy presided, it is no wonder that B roe V "Rye Liquor" Davis and his pals have 1 7 , (leculed not to take another BUCQ . chance and are already up and doing Thni-o ia no rtnpn.tinn Jlhmit. it.'4:hi ' - year that will take perchance ovclr tne V1 , "licker record" and present position - of the legislative candidate on the subject of prohibition and national prohibition at that. The man who opposes the adoption of the new mendmcnt to make pro hibition nation-wide may win in some of ths counties but he will not have a walk-over, for there will be some one to run against I.im in every county. The antis have not been as demon strative here as in Alabama and some other States, as yet. But they will get into the fight and are certain to havextheir candidates (labeled or not, most probably not) in many counties aneVthfey will spend somo money, as usual. Woman Suffrage Amendment Since Senator Simmons has formally told the State Normal College -girisrf he could not oblige them by sopportv? ing the proposed woman suffrage -amendment to the Federal Constitu , tion (he believes the states should regulate this matter) it looks like the ; ' suffrage amendment will have-kard sledding in North Carolina where only one of the Congressmen voted for it. One of the phase's of the situation that is already a pesterin' of the pro fessional politicians is this: If a legislative candidate is for the prohibition amendment and against tne .-.nil rage amendment, can ho pull through all right? The answer is simply, namely: Let his impose Federal prohibition and embrace the suffrage amendment and then see how big the hole must be to let him out of his predicament! Greater Food Production Urgent The State Food Administrator says a greater production of corn, soy beans, peas, Irish and sweet potatoes, sorghum for syrup, and all hay and feed crops is extremely desirable and urgent. No family in North Carolina that has an opportunity to cultivate a garden should neglect to do so. Any individual in North Carolina or America who neglects or fails to do his utmost in crop production or to make every square foot of his soil and every hour of his time count during the coming season is a slacker and is unworthy of citizenship in this state and nation. I am sure, however, that wo have few such citizens in North Carolina.
