Mr. Fogle has developed a severe case of appendicitis and left Sunday for Statesville to enter Dr. Long's Sanatorium for an operation.

IK GREENVILLE AT CAMP 00ING WELL By the Associated Press. Greenville, S. C, Nov. 19. At med ical headquarters at Camp Sevier it was authoritatively stated shortly before noon that no new cases of sickness had developed over the past 24 hours. The sick are doing well and it is believed that pneumonia and! measles, will be stamped out soon. The quarantine still is in force. HERE AR PRICES E PAIO HERE 16 GIVE AUSTAIANS A TERRIBLE LICKING The prices of foodstuffs at three periods within the recollection of hundreds of people in North Caroli na present contrasts that are scarcely (believable. From the Piedmont Press, published in Hickory many years ago, it is learned what the local produce market , was here in March. 1886. Butter was retail ing at from 10c to 15c per pound, bacon at 7 and 8c, new corn 60c. chickens 12 and 15c each, eggs, 10c, corn meal 60c per bushel and you are paying that much for a peck of itnow peas 75c a bushel, Irish po tatoes 40 to 50c per bushel, wheat 95 to $1.15 a bushel. The same products sell here today at more than double all the prices quoted in 1886 in some cases five times as much. Butter today is 40 to 45 cents, eggs sell as if hens are no longer laying, corn is $1.25, wheat $2.40, potatoes $2 a bushei and chickens 20c pound. 8y the Associated Press. In the Trentino and along the Piave the Italians have the Austro Germans checked for the moment and there are indications of a re awakening of fighting activity on the western fro, especially in Flin ders and St. Quentin. East and northeast of Ypres the British are now well established on the Passchendaele ridge. These po sitions have been under heavy bom bardment by the Gerrrfans for sev eral days, apparent evidence that the Germans are nervous and hope by their artillery fire to check a new British thrust. Around St. Quentin, northwest of the Ailette, where the French gain ed a notable success recently, Ger man and allied patrols have been busy. Both the British and Ger mans carried out raids. French ar tillery schelled a town occupied by the Germans and a French thrust evidently intended as a feeler, was repulsed, according to Berlin. Although the Teutonic pressure from the Asiago to the Piave contin ues very strong, the Italians hold valiantly to the positions and the in vaders have not been able to make much progress. On the Asiago and near Casera the Italians recaptured an advance position, taking 100 pris oners. Between the Brentna and the Piave the invaders were thrown back.

(The Austrians who forced their way across the Piave river at Zenson have been thrown into the river, drowned or captured until now not an enemy remains on that "bank. The flight was the worst of any known recently. Details of the fight have been gathered by eye witnessses who saw the fearful carnage through Friday night and yesterday and who stayed until the west bank was cleared ex cept for the corpses on the shore and in the foreground. Wounded were so numerous that it has been impossible to succor all of them. FORFEITED HIS CROP By the Associated Press. London, Nov. 19. The severest penalty yet .given for violation of the farm cultivation acts has just been administered to Alfred White, a farmer of Maidstone. ,He was ordered iby the authorities to cut down his acreage of hops by one half. He. paid no attention to the order, declaring that he would make a profit of $50,000 out of the "hops, and so could, well afford to pay a substantial fine. The court fined him only $1,000, but ordered the forfeiture of the entire crop of hops and added a sentence of two months in prison. SEPARATE PEACE QVQ f O. tViTiOtT "i-lt nwn AmilJ. u J- 1.

One of them, who was a resident of a town in central New York, re calls that even in well-to-do famil ies genuine coffee was unknown for a long time. Roasted barley, parch ed corn, chickory roots and even dan delion roots, dried and roasted, were used as coffee substitutes. White or granulated sugars were al so a rarity, and only on the table foi company. Brown sugar and even oldkfashioned black molasses were used for sweetening. Honey, ap pie butter, fruit jams and even lard were used as substitutes for butter. Butter was scarce and dear, for those times, and bread and molass es, bread and honey, and " eve., bread and ham fat were considered plenty good enough for all but the very old people. In those days nearly every family in town kept a cow. Those who didn't, as a rule, went without milk. The papers ot that day emphasized the fact that coffee and tea were more nutritious when used without milk. In those days there were no mo vies or cheap amusements of any kind, picture postal cards were un known and children didn't stop in a candy shop to spend anything from a nickle to a quarter a day. A child thought himself lucky if he hao. contrive to get possession of a penny, . The fact is the present generation has no conception of the hard times brought on by the civil war in the north fto say nothing of the abject misery and want that prevailed in the south.

On the right bank of the Piave the Italians have taken nearly 1, 300 prisoners in two days. Another army is reported march ing on Petrograd to oust the bol sheviki from control there. The van guard, which is said to be 30 mile3 from the capital, already has had sev eral encounters with the bolsheviki. It is rumored that Premier Ker ansky is returning from the new forve. All the reports lack confirmatiojn. There evidently is internal dissen sion in Petrograd between the Max imalists and the extreme Socialists who have protested against the bol sheviki regime. A report from London says there has been a split in the bolsheviki ranks and some of the ministers have resigned. In Moscow the bolsheviki and the iother force has reached a truce and discontinued fighting in which sev eral thousand persons were killed and some religious shrines in the Krem lin w-ere damaged or destroyed by the artillery of the revolutionists. The American embassy in Petro grad has asked for a special train to take 200 Americans to Harbin, Man churia, whence they can reach eith er Dalny or Vladivostok to take steamers home. Jaffa, the ancient Joppa, and the .seaptort of the Mediterranean for Jerusalem, has been occupied by the British. The Turks gave up this im portant point without resistance and are retiring northward under pres-. sure. Premier Lloyd George's recent ut terances on the necessity of an al lied war council will be debated in the house of commons today. Heavy masses of Austro-Germans are being thrown against the Italian line between the Piave and the Bren ta in an effort to drive a wedge be-: tween the Italian armies defending the Piave line and those to the west in the Arsiago region. . Comparati vely rapid progress is being made in this operation within the last day or two and it is becoming clear that the riin Austro-Gjerman effort is centered upon what is probably the most vulerable spot in the Italian lines.
