Thursday, September 12, 1918 NUMBER Zt G 1 JniJEi CONTINUE TOjUT IMS GERMANS OFFER STOUT RE SISTANCE AT POINTS BUT IT GAINS NOTHING 19,000 PRIS ONERS FIRST WEEK IN SEP TEMBER TAKEN BY BRITISH The Germans are trying to make a standstill and gather all. their forces to the Hindenburg line. The advance of the Allies is at a standstill, with ex ception of slight advance by the Americans. Monday the British patrols occu pied the towns Ver Maud, 5Vi miles northwest of St. Quentain and Ven delles, two miles north of Vermond. They are on the western and north ern edges of Epesby, within 2 miles of the Hindenburg line. Nar Laffaux and north of Celles-Sur-Aisne, the Germans have delivered strong counter-attacks but the French everywhere have maintained , their ground. During the first week of September, Field Marshal Haig's forces have taken more than 19,000 prisoners and large numbers of ma chine guns and quantities of stores. In the old Noyon' salient the French have captured the important junction towns of Ham and Chauney, with their railroads and high roads lead ing into St. Quentin and La rerre. Across the canal Dee Nord they have penetrated at various points to a depth of exceeding six miles. The French troops on the north bank of the Aisne have re-occupied all their old trenches. In the region extending from the old Noyon sector to Soissons the French have reclaimed 30 villages from the Germans, although resist ance from the enemy rear guards has increased the Allies still gain. It is reported that the Bavarians have quit. One regiment threw down their arms and retired, declaring they would no longer fight for Prussia. There are three German lines of de fense behind the Hindenburg line, the first closely paralleling it and the others providing for retreat along wide fronts. There has been no material change in the Czecho-Slovak line. Seports state that .the morale of ps in the German , army is now becoming lower., 'w Then are'- grasrt'ineny'deserters in the German- army. There are many reports of great shortage of ammunition among the German artil lery batteries. Four hundred and sixty-five enemy machines have been destroyed and two hundred disabled since the com mencement of the offensive on August 8, according to an official statement.

The Lexington Dispatch publishes a letter from Dr. James Walter Pea cock, of Thomasville, one of the lead ing physicians of the state, and a, man possessing brilliancy of intellect not only, but also an intimate and compre hensive knowledge of the practical af fairs of mankind. The Dispatch says we are always glad to welcome into the fold of Democracy men of his type, who in addition to being a real thinker has the courage of conviction that makes him a real man. Dr. Peacock is a graduate ; f the Ui niversity. Before he was graduated from the University, he had illustrat ed "Whitehe'ds's Anatomy of the Brain," a text book that has been translated into many foreign languag es and used in the greater universities of the world. He was graduated with honors from the Tulane University of Lousiana. As a result of the high stand taken by him in a class of 114 at that seat of learn ing and scientific knowledge, he was given a commission as surgeon in the British Army durint the Boer War, with two" assistants serving under him. However, out of deference to parental wishes, he resigned this position, al though it was deemed a very high hon or among American surgeons. In 1914, Dr. Peacock was elected President of the Surgeon's Club at Rochester, Minn., which was compos ed of surgeons from all the world. Dr Peacock has done some research work that has led to the establishment of a new industry for this country, which is now furnishing the United States government certain chemicals and metals never before produced in this country. And by no means lea.t, he is chair man of the Board of Road Commis sioners of Davidson county, to whom the road experts of the whole country must take off their hats. They have constructed more miles of good roads for less money, and in a shorter time than has ever been done before in any county in the United States and there has never been a suspicion of graft or extravagance of any kind. ; Dr. PeM V-tc oner of TDlvTdscn coattykna lbs pop ularity is thoroughly attested by the fret that he led his ticket, though at that time affiliating with the Republi can party. His letter is just like he is, frank, modest, free from malice, charitable and courteous. Thomasville, N, C. Sept. 2, 1913. The Editor bf The Dispatch, Lexington, N. C. Dear Sir: As I desire to inform my many friends in Davidson county of the rea sons for the step I have determines to make, I beg of you to allow me space in your columns for this letter. Since I was made Chairman of the Board of Read, Commissioners, foin years ago, I have put forth the very best that was in me to secure for the county the greatest number of mile? of roads with the money possible; al so the best system of maintenance that our funds would justify. In thii work, I had the undivided support and wise council of every member of the board,' for which I will always be grateful. Nevertheless, during this period 1 have been forced to realise the exist ence of some very unpleasant facts, as viewed from the standpoint of a re publican. This is in regard to t;:t treatment I have received at the hand? of those who are in control of -the rwkMoeratle and Rewiblican parties. I have been forced in every instance to go to the Democrats for help and iaxippott on every measure that need w v - - . . ed it, and they never failed me in the 'least. On tne outer n?nci, i nave received one word of encourage- stent or support from the Republican, except two reluctant promises from the Board of County Commissioners which .were repudiated' through some technicality," and every republican who was In sympathy with the road mA tWtwt ta heln me was now- erless to do so because he wss not of those who were in eontnaoi ine puny and never can be. More than this, I have been treated as tho' I"were an alien enemy or a spy in the republican camp. This has rerched the point beyond further en durance, therefore, I have determined to sever my relations with the republi can party and Join myself with those who were friends in need -and there fore friends indeed men who stand FOR something and who DO sjm thing for. the good of old Davidson.

We visited the county home by com mittee and found 20 inmates, 7 white males and 7 white females, 3 colored males and 3 colored females. Two of the white males we find confined to' their beds and 1 white woman is con fined to her bed; also we find 1 colored man confined to his bed. We find that 16 of these inmates are feeble-minded, and the other four appear to be nor mal. We also found 2 mules in fairly good condtion: 3 milch cows, 150 chick ens, 11 hogs, 30 bushels of wheat, 7 bushels of rye, 20 bushels of Irish no-1 tatoes, 12 acres of corn, V4 acre of .GGreensboro district, will hold a dis pumpkins and 200 fine pumpkins; andltrict Sunday school conference at Cen- 5Vi acres of peas.

BirVeU, who lfft HERE AND THERE WHAT OUR FIELD CORRESPOND ENT HEARS AND THINKS ITEMS OF INTEREST PICKED UP OVER THE COUNTY This is the first time in the history of Randolph county that the Republicans failed to put out a full county ticket. Wonder if a certain Republican law yer who is cn the Republican ticket this year will go on the road selling to bacco after the November election. It is said if you want to "drag" the Republican leaders in this county, just ask them if they have done what they promised to do during the last cam paign. A bold attempt is being made by the Republican leaders to lead the minds of the voters from the Republican county platlorm of 1916. It won t suc ceed, however. The Republican lead ers read the platform to almost every voter in Randolph county during the last campaign and the chief issue in this campaign is the record of the Re publican party during its stewardship and the party cannot get away from It. Why is The Bulletin so "skeered" about Mr. George W. Spencer's affida vit? It is because it is expressed in the plainest words in the English lan guage; no equivocation every word, phrase and sentence so clear a wayfar ing man though a fool need not err therein. It is a known fact that Mr. Phillips djd not have a dog and a Re publican mistake has been made and The Bulletin ought to apologie to its readers for the kir.i ot dope it has been handing them about Mr. C. F. Phillips of Tabernacle township. The tale is appalling that the mail ing list of The Courier tells of those who have gone away. From every nook and comerof the county our peo ple have gone to the ends of the earth. Wouldn't it be enlightening to have a list of all the natives of good old Ran dolph who hold official and other posi tions of trust ? Well, what do you thk? The coun ty commissioners had to borrow the money to pay the court expenses last week. Too bad, too bad the first time such a thing has been done in the history of the county so far as we can ascertain. iBeeruuu. ... . ... . . i Mr.tr-W.- Slack, r Randiemah, hasrr received a letter from his son who is in France.

Several of the citizens of the town were present at the open ing of the school and made short tr.lks. The school is one of the best high schools in the state. The school board has met with a committee from the University and State Normal Col lege and mapped out the work in or der that the pupils of the town may have no trouble in making their en- ' trance requirements. There has been considerable discussion concerning the , study of German in the school. Ar rangements have been made for French to be in the course rather than German last year; but those who stud ied German last year will have credit for it with the year f French this year. The young people of the town should take every advantage of the op- i portunities offered. The school casts around $10,000 last year and will amount to more this year.

LOOKING AFTER SELF Governor Bicketl Denounces the Demagogue and Favors Better Pay For Teachers Following are extracts of an address Governor Bickett made to the State Farmers and Farm Women's Conven tion in Raleigh, as refi News and Observer: "What hefthe man wlio res ehci the State, playing upon the i r-j;i; cf and the ignorance of tfce pr-; ,e to 1.1- . vide the citizens into tao&tilc c'a ) wants is to kick up a row Sttil'then " In the midst of the confusion grab some thing for himself. "That s the character ot a demogog- ue who goes about posing as public friend, the savior and guardian of some particular class of people not be cause he loves them more than the other but because he wants to get something out of them. I despise that man, I have a contempt for that man who tries to rtee in' wealth or in power by stirring Up oaevdass of citizens a- gainst the other. My heart's desint and nrayer to God is to "be Governor of exactly one hundred1 per cent af the people of North uarouna. The school teachers ofTforA Caro lina have, been curving to death for the last year. They've kept on teach ing through principle) or patriotism and because they love the children. We've got to pay Ue school teachers of North Carolina a reasonable salary, I propose to submit to the next Gener al Assembly of North Carolina a bill increasing the average salary of pub lic school- teachers in North Carolina fifty per cent. Where is the money coming from ? I dont know. I havent found it yet, but I'm on its trail. Isa digging for it. I consider that to be my job and I'm going to do it.
