Brooklyn scored in her half of the second inning, and Boston

Brooklyn was nt the mercy of Shore in the third, and went the
one-two-three route. Boston again got busy with the stick, and when

FIREWORKS IN FIGHTING
Aerial Torpedo of Allies
Wonderfully: Beautiful
and Very Effective New
Weapon Discourages the
Germans
By HENRY WOOD.
CUniled Press Staff Correspondent)
With the French Armies on the
Somme, Oct 12 Tightening the en
circling noose, the French have ad'
vanced their lines to within a few
hundred yards of the important town
of Chaulnes. The French are pock
eting it in the same manner as the
Allies drove the Germans out of Com-
Wes. "
Chaulnes, to a certain extent, holds
the same important relation to the
German lines south of the Somme, as
did Combles north of the river. It is
a supporting point, and at the junc
tion of several important highways.
Its capture would enable the French
to dominate the surrounding country
for several miles
Aerial torpedoes are wonderfully
aiding the French. Wire entangle
ments are being systematically des
troyed by torpedoes launched from
trench mortars Unlike the scream-
ng shells, the torpedoes are noiseless
but visible to the naked eye through
out their entire Course, They are de
scribed as beautiful, arising above
the French, lines )d parting down
ward with lightning rapidity into
the German trenches, creating havoc
and consternation.

for Attorney
-, General In Good Form
and Made Forceful and
Telling SpeechMeeting
in Courthouse
Judge J. S. Manning, candidate
for Attorney General on the Demo
cratic ticket, and Solicitor Walter E.
Brock of the Thirteenth judicial cir
cuit, addressed the voters of Lenoir
county in the Courthouse in Kinston
Wednesday night. A large number
of citizens turned out to hear the
well known campaigners discuss the
issues of the day.
Judge Manning spoke first and
his address was an able presenta
tion of the questions before, the peo
ple. He told of the splendid rec
ords of the party both in State and
National affairs.
Touching upon the record of the
Democratic party in the State, Judge
Manning pointed with pride to the
splendid growth in educational facil
ities, saying that the Republicans are
criticizing the expenditure of so mucn
money for school purposes, but that
they had failed to 'tell the voters
what had been done with the money
that was spent. Forty-eight hundred
school buildings had been erected,
212 high schools had been established
and 3,600 school libraries placed in
the rural sections, and that was but
a little of the great work of the De
partment of Education, said he.
Judge Manning in speaking of the
tax rate, emphasized the fact that
United States statistics showed that
North Carolina paid the lowest per
capita tax in the Union except its s:s-
ter to the South, which paid the same.
The figures that he read from the
statistics showed that the per capita
rate for state and county purposes in
North Carolina was $4.45, while Cal
ifornia, under Progressive Republic
an rule, had a rate of $28.65; New
York under Republican rule a little
over ten dollars, and Ohio $7.66.
Mr. Brock was introduced by R. H
Lewis, Jr., one of the younger mem
bers of the Kinston bar. He did not
dwell upon statistics or records, but
"exhorted" the voters to roll up a
huge majority for the stalwart sons
who were in charge of the affairs of
tho nation as well as polling a big
majority for the Democratic candi
dates in the State.
