A Visitor Who Spent a While There Writes of It. -A visitor, who spent a while with the young ladies of Martha Washing ton Inn, at Kannapolis writes-the following about it: It is the only factory town that I have visited in which the young la dies are so well cared for." Martha Washington Inn is a home provided just for them. It is a large, roomy, attractive looking house, with a great" big wide porch, filled with nice rock ers, and a swing or so. The home is excellently equipped, and everything the essence of neatness and cleanli ness. The rooms are large and airy, comfortable beds, nice large closets for their clothes and a lavatory in each room. Water works and lights are also extra nice conveniences. The fare is nutritious, appetizing and well prepared. The variety is very noticeable in the menu. "And last, but not least, just a word about the mother, or matron of this inn. Mrs. Russell is just the wo man for the place. Sfie is kind, ten der and gentle with the girls. Ever ready to give her advice and sympa thy whenever asked. She seems thoroughly interested in each and ev ery young lady, and I am sure has their progress, welfare and interests at heart as much as any one. And this is not all the social feature is very attractive also. -The girls are allow"- ed to have company at nights for a reasonable length of time. By special privilege they can go out calling or to the drug store. So in this way -the social part is not omitted. "Every one that has visited this home has been impressed by the fit ness of such, and I am sure, is grateful and thankful for the originator and benefactor."

In a city of more than ialf a million people, invaded by a iostile army of perhaps a quarter of a minion soiuiers, no aii Bumucuu.. fiVrant to demand punishment or to awaken protest came to my attentm. t The f riErhtf ul reports that, naa preceded the German army into Brus sels included the disembowing of old men and the impaling of children on lancers, just outside Louvaiu.

"I - marched for days with the Germans columns, often only one day behind the fighting, with the diouses that had been burned still smoulder ing, the ground freshly broken oy shell and trampled by horses and men, and the memory of the German advance vivid in the minas oi uie in habitants.

ATTENDANCE OFFICER. Democratic State Convention Opens. Hartford, Conn., Sept. 17. With strong indications that Bryan F. Mo han, of New London, would be fav ored over Governor Simeon E. Bald win, for the nomination for United States Senator, the Democratic State convention opened here today. Ma- han's supporters declare that he will be a two to one choice over the State executive. Baldwin's supporters admit that the nomination- of their man is doubtful inasmuch as he has persistently re fused to. do any active work in his own behalf. The preliminary cam paigning of his friends has been bad- lv disorganized. A Concord citizen, who returned last night from Atlanta, states that Georgia is alive with cotton as a re sult of the buy-a-bale movement.
