Tkimi Hnflin of Alabama, made a tmilv o-reat snoech in the municipal theater in Greensboro. From start to finish for near two hours Mr. Heflin held the large audience perfectly at hjs iill It w.is ninvlv American. He told of the causes leading up to ih- v. ar and ol different thing.-; ooni f:,.rm:iiiv till America court no lon- ir'er submit and maintain and degree f h,m,,i- and self resnect. Years ago ii-Vi..n tliw i-fiiintrc was emraired in wai with Spain, Germany furnished to our enemy in thai, struggle guns and mu nitinns of war to litrht us with. Thi. thiv had a ritrht to do but still when the United States exercis ing the same right in selling to the Allies Germany protested. Further when Admiral Dewey was ready to strike the decisive blow to Spain Ger man war ships were prowling around ready to assist the Spanish and but - for the timely appearance of the Brit ish fleet we would have been forced to fight Germany and Spain. From that time America ha.s been qtfiet, resent ing always anything that looked like wai till finally the sinking of the Lu sitania the taking of innocent lives, theldestruction of American property and after every effort of reasoning and diplomacy had failed we have resorted to the only means left. Now that we are in this war it is the duty of every person to do every thing in their power to win ,and that with a united effort we will win. He told of the already achievements of the American soldiers, and that they like all true Americans in the past are adding new luster and glory to the JtF.gthat has never trailed m defeat He Wimd the people to beware of German sympathizers' ugents and npies. Uok well at every strange r fore trusting him too far. His speech waa truly patriotic and great, flavored with richest anecdotes and illustra- , tiona. Every man or woman who says "I am with you but for certain rea ,oni " needs to be waUhed. Mr. A. E.

Ideas worth most to the writer perhaps on account of the fact that they are getting out of the system. But that means a lot to me, and I should not like being cut out of the relief which this exercise affords. Two weeks ago our book-keeper struck not for money, but for love and an easier position. She married a man who owned a grocery store and went to work for him. Office girls with the capacity for managing our type of business successfully are fiot found by turning over a finger, a thorough knowledge of the demands of such business being necessary on the part of the applicant. The out come of this state of affairs was that I, having a little of this knowledge by close contact with the business, took over, single-han the ollieii work of our bread-and-butter factory.

Considerable interest is manifested here and among public men who write Raleigh in the news that Judge Frank Carter has bought the Albemarle En terprise and is to get right into the thick of the "fourth estate" in North Carolina and they are fully expecting the Judge to add right much to the "gaiety of nations" not to mention Tar Heel politics and politicians.

The method of attack has been to make alternate assaults at different points along the line as though at tempting to locate the weakest place where a concentrated push would then be made. After many desperate and fatal ef forts to break through the line the enemy has given up the attempt to gain a direct route to Amiens and is now broadening his operations into a new offensive which is aimed at either side of the salient of the Allied lines. The artillery fire has been intense,, the bombardment from La Basse crnal in the north to the sectors east of Laon a line of about 120 miles thundering with the intensity of drum fire. American forces are being brigaded with the British and as rapidly as pos sible are brought into the action.
