A German report undated, but evidently having to do with the i same engagement says that the Germans retired only from their outpost positions, falling back on the first line defenses of the city. An earlier dispatch from Tokio said that the Japanese had had a successful engagement with the Germans on the outskirts of Tsing Tau. A German dispatch received here from Tsi-Nan, capital of Shan-Tung province, which pro bably came from Tsing Tau in the Kiaochow* territory by wire less telegraphy, conforms closely to the repjrt given out at the Japanese legation. - The German dispatches relate that the German outposts after several encounters with the enemy retired to the first line of defense beyond the villages of Tsang-Kow aid Li-Tsun, It is apparent that the German lines follow the highlands and are avoiding fie 1 >wlands bor dering on Kiaochow bay.

Bryant, writing irom Washington to the Charlotte Ob server, says: " / There will not be many high browed congressional speeches in the North Carolina campaign this year. Senators Simmons and Overman, both of whom are tired and worn out from long service of the most enervating kind, will not take a very active part in the canvass of the State. It will be impossible for them to do so un less Congress adjourns, and if they have a few weeks off, they will need it for rest. Mr. Simmons and Mr. Over- Ban have been in the thick of the fight to put through the Democratic program here. They have labored day and night in important committees to shape bflls. Mr. Simmons did superb work on the tariff and the Pana ma Canal tolls bills, and Senator Overman on the anti-trust and appropriation measures. In addition Senator Overman has kept the "insidious lobby" movincr. The President announ ced that an insidious lobby was interfering in the tariff legisla tion, and Senator Overman was selected to rout the lobbyist, He uncovered several great lobbies. ' His work in this direction is not over, but so far it has been of the highest type. The Democra tic campaign committee thought ( so well of Senator Overman's ef- forts that it made special men tion of the Mulhall investigation. Senator Simmons is constantly at the bat for the Administration. The House members, with the ] exception of Representative Gud - ger and Representative Doughton will stick close to their work in Congress every day. Mr. Gud ger will devote some time to J. J. Britt and Mr. Doughton to Frank I A. Linney, Republican oppon ents. i Tired is not the word for the feeling that has settled down on 1 the North Carolina Congressmen. . They are exhausted. The entire i delegation is contemplating is suing a statement to the people, saying that they will leave their interests with them. This may be done. $25 FINE ... ■ Mayor of Georgia Town Will Fine Citizens Who Talk War and Hard Times. Berwick, Ga., wants a business college. Mayor Spe ice, of that town, thought it would be an easy matter to go out and raise the money among the public spirited people of trie place. So he canvassed the town. But he came home a sadder and a wiser man. They told him it was not time to start anything new, for, owing to the war in Europe, financial affairs were in a dread ful condition. But the Mayor was uncon vinced. He felt very sure that Berwick needed a business school no matter if the prospect was that the war was going to hurt business a little. He had noticed that theie was a good deal of talk about the war and about the hard times sup posed to result from the war. This line of talk gave him an idea. Why not make the calam ity howlers pay for the privi lege? No sooner thought than done. In Berwick accordingly it is twenty five dollars fine on any body who breathes a word about either the war or general de pression. That is, the fine will be imposed strictly until Ber wick gets its business school. Then the practice of levying such a fine may be discontinued. So if the people want to talk about the great European con flict they must provide the busi ness school or, they can talk about the war and wait for the fines to build the school. It is a business school or silence on the war. And this thing of taxing ~ar talk should be a value to the revenue raisers in Washington.

The North Carolina State Fair has come to be recognized as one of the greatest fairs of the South. It has been handicapped by the lack of money. Other, great fairs in the country have had plenty of money and the building up of a big fair, with a large premium list and a great array of exhibits has been com paratively easy. Here, the Fair has had to build largely upon its own resources and for a part of the time it has had an uphill struggle. Persistent effort, how ever, has won and the Fair has come to be recognized as second to none. The Fair has been a wonder ful stimulus in the agricultural i development of the State and i likewise in its industrial prog ress. The Ssate Department of Agriculture makes an extensive exhibit at the Fair each year and ! it has been found that this ex hibit is the best of the farmers' institutes the State conducts. It has been a great inspiration to the farmer, and to the Depart ment as well. i The Fair is an educational in stitution. Its main purpose is to instruct. It provides amusement and in this line it is seeking to give the best, but the main pur pose has never been lost sight of. it has gone steadily forward in the effort to show North Caro lina and the world what the State is doing and also to inspire the State through seeing her pos sibilities to continue to do great er things. One help the Manage ment finds is the increasing num ber of county fairs. All these fairs help the State Fair by cre ating inteiest. They, too, are educational and they help to in crease the number of exhibits and the patronage. Regarding the amusement fea ture the Management has be come stringent in its demand for clean shows and in its prohibi [ tion against gambling and games lof chance. No dancing girl snows are admitted to the grounds and no gambling de vices. The barring of these gambling devices and the vulgar shows has brought a better grade of amusements and some good attractions are booked for this year. There has been a grartifying in crease in the prizes and premi ums offered this year and the in crease in the number of exhibits is also gratifying. The agricul tural and horticultural exhibits will be above the average this year. The apple exhibit es pecially will be worth going miles to see. The commercial value of apple-raising will be clearly illustrated and demon strated to all comers with larger classification than ever before. The Society now offers premi ums of $25, $l5 and $lO for best exhibit by any rural public school. This has been added since the Premium List was pub lished. ' The amusement features are I well represented this year; The 'Ninety Five Per Gent of Child ren Under 13 Years of Age Are Attending the City Schools. The enrollment for the first month in the graded school* of Hickory is between 775 and 800 pupils. This is about 100 more than were enrol led the first month lastyear. Every room in both buildings is occupied, and it has beco me necessary to form two zlass rooms of the auditorium at the North building. Another overflow room has been formed* with Miss Macy Blackwelder aa teacher. ~ An unusually large percentage of the children between the agsi of 8 and 12,98 per cent are in school. At least 95 per cent of the school children under thir teen years of age are in school. What other town in North Caro lina can show a better record? No one can question the faet that the children of Hickory are going to school. The truth of the matter is, that it is getting to be a serious problem to provide buildings and teachers for all the children who are going to school. Three additional teachers have been employed this year, making twenty teachers in the white schools, and four in the colored school. There are 200 pupils in the colored school. The city graded schools are caring for 1,000 children, to put it in round numbers. Before the opening of school next year another building will have to be provided. It will be well to provide for a high school building, in order to secure better facilities for the boys and girls from 13 to 17 years of age. Hopeless Lung Trouble Cored.

It offers legitimate amusement as well as education al features and reaches far to ward the ideal State Fair, which shall be the meeting place of agriculture and industry, a de lightful outing for all the mem bers of the family, a summer school for the men and women and boys and girls, the best short course in agriculture in the State, a great industrial ex change, a university of experi ence and experiment, an annual advertisement of the greatness of a great State.
