THEY'RE USING SO MUCH DYNAMITE IN RUSSIA f RENCH SOUTHOF ST. QUENTIN; LOCAL FIGHTING IS REPORTED (By United Press) TokiQ, Aug. 17. (By Mail.) The output of gold from mines in Korea for the first half of 1918 was only $1,600,000, reduction of $300,000 from the same period of last year. The big American and European mines at Un san, Suan and Chicksan maintained their usual rate, making their total output $l,510,00a. The reduction came entirely from the mines managed by Jpafcese ana JSoreans. Their smaller mines have been faced by an unchanged selling price for gold, but with in creased mining costs, owing to a rise In the cost of dynamite, quicksilver and chemicals, and by the dearth of hands owing to the high wages paid by the prosperous factories on the peninsula.

It will be seen at White's Theatre tonight. The story deals with the success ful endeavor of a young man to speak nothing but the truth for twenty-four hours, and the vain attempt of a half dozen others to compel, persuade or trick him into lying. The young man trnd several who hecktor him belong that that generally truthful tribe saookbrokers. His objection to a shady deal negotiated through a lie results in a wager that his two part ners and a hanger-on take up. There are conditions which make it difficult for him. He is. for instance, made to spend the rime at the h me of his fian cee, whose money, collected by her for a charity, tie has risked on his. self as.snrauco. " Messrs. Anderson and Weber have carefully selected an ex cellent cast of farceurs. The play is in three acts and the last two take place during the twenty-four hours of the young man's endeavor to be truthful.

Underwood) A gentleman who assisted in the re cent registration of men of military age in this county, remarked the other day that he was absolutely astounded at the large number of men who could not sign their names, but had to make their marks on the registration cards. This is a pitiful condition of affairs. The county has evidently not done its full duty to the boys in the past. We must do better in the future. The war has brought home to us the great and im portant fact that we have been neglect ing our children. This is suicidal. Shall we not begin to do a better part by this present generation of school children? We cannot afford not to take advantage of the opportunities we have, and to try to provide better 1 opportunities. Our schools ought to bo crowded this fall and winter as never-! before. And we ought to begin right ' now to lay plans for a better school . as well realize that we are simply play- system all over the .country. We might J ing at the task of educating our chil dren. As County Superintendent of schools, I earnestly entreat the fathers and mothers of the rural children to strain a point if need be to keep these boys and girls in school. We certainly owe them this much. And may I ask that we do all in our power to co-operate with the teachers this year? It has taken almost superhuman efforts to supply the rural schools with teachers, and some of them are not yet supplied. It is getting harder and harder to get young women to go into the country to teach school. Of course low salaries and high cost of living have a great deal to do with this. But our attitude toward oui teachers has in some cases helped to bring about this condition. Many a young woman has been driven away from the school room right here in Pitt county because of unsympathetic or even harsh treatment. Teachers are no more or less than human. They like to be treated with some consideration. Most teachers are not working for the money alone. If they were they would be doing something else in these times. A part of their compensation conies from the consciousness that they are performing an appreciated public service, that they are reaching and de veloping boys and girls, the men and women of the next generation. If the parents are careless and indifferent in their attitude toward the teacher and the school or even antagonistic if the children stay out of school on account of fancied grievance, or on account of a general indifference, a large port of her raward is lost, and she becomes dis couraged and decides to enter some less vaxatious line of work. By the way. is a good home iii your community open as. a boarding place for your teacher this winter? Will she have to pay half her salary for the privilege of eating and sleeping in your community? If so do you blame her for going somewhere else next year?
