The sector was of first rate import ance both for economic and for stra tegic reasons. North of the ridge ran the principal French and Belgian coal seam. Although the public mind was slow to grasp the fact, nevertheless as soon as it became clear that the trench warfare deadlock would make it a struggle of resources rather than of men, first class economic objec tives. such as coal mines, were accord ed greater military value than any thing else. Also, strategically, the German lines in Artois covered the Lille-Douai-Cam brai railway, their main transversal line behind al this part of their front. Should this line be cut. or brought under effective artillery fire, their rail way traffic would be stopped or forced to use the inferio Lille-Orchies-Cam hrai railway. The French then, were playing for a major stake when they started chip ping at the German line with their 75s in preparation for their attack. All along the line, from Loos to Arras, heavy, divisional and trench guns poured out four shots per minute. The Germans quickly responded with their artillery searching for the mass ed infantry assembled for the assault hut could not watch for the carefully prepared allied bombardment. Allied infantry advanced almost two and a half miles unchecked. In the intoxication of such an advance after a winter in the abominable trenches, the men got out of hand and ran forward, cheering as they rushed the German elements that tried to resist them. Thev ran and >Vled too natch and their water bot tles were emptied too quickly. They were exhausted, completely, by the time they had attained the crest of Vimy ridge, and looked down on the rolling plains to the north and east. Thus they were natural targets for a German counter-attack. v? n t IY At i V; liat lid iou Know About North Carolina? By FRED H. MAY 1— What British general gave Char lotte the name of the “Hornets’ Nest"? 2 How many consecutive terms did Edward W. Pou represent his dis. trict in congress? 3 When did Geneial Lafayette come back from France and visit North Carolina? 4 What did the people use for salt during the Revolutionary War? 5 What was the notable fight be tween the whigs of the west and the democrats of the east 1838? 6 What Union outfit was known as the “Horse Jockey” Battolion? ANSWERS 1— Lord Cornwallis on reaching Charlotte in the fall of 1780. was given a hot reception by a handful of men under Major William Davie and Major Joseph Graham that the named the place the “Hornets' Nest.” Corn wallis remained in Charlotte sixteen days. During this time he found noth irU to cause him to feel that the name should be changed. 2 The late congressman from the fourth district began his first term with the Fifty-Seventh Congress. March 4, 1901, and served 16 conse cutive terms. He died April 1, 1934. 3 On February 27 t 1825, he was met by a delegation of state officials at the Northampton court house. Halifax was the next stop and then Raleigh which was reached on March 2 where a big celebration had been arranged. After spending two days in Raleigh the general with his party left for Fayetteville, whieh had been nam ed in his honor. From Fayetteville the party went to Cheraw, S. C. 4 -According to Traugott. Bagge, Wachovian merchant and business manager, potash, or hickory ash, was used a3 a substitute. This was far from being a satisfactory substitute as it “ma,de them first hoarse and then speechless,” Bagge said. sln the legislature of 1838 the whigs favored appropriations for pub lic improvements—s7so,ooo for the Fayetteville and Western railroad and $500,000 for the Raleigh and Gaston railroad.

C. (Tory) regiment. This outfit was causing so much trouble with its raiding and stealing forays in Hay. wood and Buncombe counties that Colonel W. H. Thomas gathered up 200 to 300 men, partly Indians, and made an attack on it on May 9, 1865 at Waynesville. This was thirty days after the surrender at Appomatox. News of the surrender had not reach ed that .section. Shortly after this a truce was arranged and the Confed erate surrendered to Colonel Bartlett upon being assured that there would be no thieving. Textbooks Rental Bill Emasculated (Continued from r*age One.) ducting a quiet, under-cover campaign against ther ental textbook bill, work ing up sentiment against the sections which would have given the power to select, adopt and contract for text books in the hands of a single com mission, as originally proposed. As the situation now stands, there will be three commissions and one board to do what the original Cherry bill would have had only one com mission to do. The Elementary Text book Commission will continue to se lect the elementary textbooks and re. commend their adoption by the State Board of Education. The High School Textbook Committee will continue to select high school and supplementary textbooks and recommend their adop tion. The State Board of Education will continue in its rubber-stamp capacity and approve the textbooks selected by the two textbook commis missions, call for bids and award the contracts to the book company pub lishing the hooks which the State su perintendent of public instruction pre fer-s, ev\n if the bids do not happen to be the lowest. All of these text book commissions incidentally, are composed of county or city superin tendents. principals or professors of education. The new rental textbook bill which is expected to pass the House tonight, creates a fourth State agency to deal with textbooks—-a State rental text book commission—which will have authority only to set up » method for iistri nd renting of text- A o all of the public schools of the State The original rental textbook bill as nt.roduced by Representative Cherry and the others who signed the bill, provided for a single commission to perform the entire job of selecting, adopting, contracting for and distri buting all the textbooks for all of the public schools in the State. It was maintained that this would greatly simplify the machinery of adopting and purchasing textbooks and hence reduce greatly the cost to the State of maintaining all these various com. missions. It is also generally agreed that the two textbook commissions as well as the State Board of Edu cation are dominated by the textbook publishers and the school forces, with the result that little or no thought is given to the prices of books adopted or to reducing the cost of textboows to parents and children. Hence one of the main arguments in favor of the original iTherry hill was that it would bring about a more simplified system of selecting adopting and pur chasing textbooks by breaking up the present -system regarded as being do minated by the textboosc companies, and thus save the Slate hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on the purchase price of school books as well as save the patrons by setting up a Statewide rental system. But this was what the textbook publishers and school forces did not want done, and which, by the pres sure they have managed to exert on the house education committee and far prevented being done. They argu the General Assembly, they have thus ed before the House Education Com mittee that the present textbooks commissions are “more experienced” and that it would be a mistake to change the system now and name an “inexperienced” commission to per form the task of selecting and buying school books. So while there is a possibility that a Statewide rental textbook system may be set up, there is now no hope that the present and shop-worn sys tem of selecting, adopting and con tracting for textbooks will be chang. ed and any money saved. Auto Tags Reduc tion in Danger (Continued irom Page One.) the cost of truck tags are responsible for the deadlock. As passed by the Senate, registra tion costs of private cars would be reduced from 55 to 45 cents per hun dredweight, with $8 as hte minimum cost. Truck tags were not reduced. The Senate bill would save the own ers of small cars about $2.50 each, based on the usual small car tag cost of $13.75. As amended by the House, the per would cost the State $1,100,000 in loss hundredweight levy would be further reduced to 40 cents, the minimum cost fixed at $7. In addition, the House voted to reduce 'the license costs for trucks. The truck reduction alone of revenue. The house i-eduction in private car license's would cost sl,- 500.000 in lost revenue, making the total loss of revenue to the State $2,- 600,000 As passed by the Senate the bill would result in a revenue loss of only $1 000,000. British Monarch Offers Prayer on 25th Anniversary (Continued rrom Page One.) threatening as the banner was let loose. Scores of young men and young women, muttering their displeasure at the disrespectful act seized the ban ner and ripped it into threads.

But when the Senate meets again tonight, a motion will probably be made to take the bill from tn.w committee and put it on the calen dar despie the fact that the calendar committee is expected to report the bill unfavorably. There is no doubt anywhere here hut that the Page bill was passed by the house largely out of spite be cause the Senate killed the Day li quor bill and in order to put the wet drinkers, dry-voting senators who helped to kill the Day bill “on the >pot.” No one has seriously thought that the Senate would pass the bill, since it is generally conceded that such a bill would prove far more dan gerous to any House or Senate mem bers with political ambitions than the enactment of either the Day bill or be Hill bill. As a result, the more conservative members of the Senate ire going to do everything possible o prevent the Page hill from ever loming up for consideration. But there are a good many senators vho are just as mad over the defeat >f the Day liquor control bill as House jpembers and these senators ire going to make an effort to call he Page bill from the calendar com. nittee in order to put the real drys ind the wet drys on record. They vant to see if the bone-dry prohibi :ionists who are conceded to be sin cere, and the personally wet drys will continue to stick together and vote cor a bill that will come as near bring ng about actua! prohibition in North Carolina as any bill that has ever been offered. It is, incidentally the irst bill ever considered under which the State would give any aid in the enforcement of the State prohibition law. It is expected, of course, that neith er the sincere prohibitionists nor the wet-drinking drys in the Senate will zote for the bill, since it would un loubtedly break up the “North Caro ina Plan” under which bootleg liquor ‘lows freely and is easily obtainable nalmost any section of the State. But an interesting fight may develop over the bill tonight or tomorrow. WANT ADS BREEDLOVE PRODUCE CO.
