George Uomanus, the little Syri
an boy who sustained a broken leg
about two months ago, and who has
been walking on crutches for the past
few weeks, fell and cut an ugly gash
on bis head Thursday morning when
he attempted to cross West Jeffer
son street. The street hands have
been making improvements on this
street, but a part of the sidewalk
where the young fellow fell, had been
lett ungraded. He struck his head
against a rock.
The extra which The Journal
got out Wednesday afternoon to give
the full testimony and the Judgment
in the Enid trial, was much ap
preciated by fhe public. Some of our
friends have been kind enough to
say that it was done as quickly and
well as the .New York World or any
other city paper would have done. It
was sent to every subscriber without
money itr.d v ithout price, und was
done solely because the public In
terest seemed to require it. The
Jou-.nal ki-eps up with the times and
the tequirc.iients of its held
country.
The Ansonian was smarter than
The Journal and pot an interview
with Horn while the train was in
Wadesboro. The Ansonian says:
He is a small man. distinct German
features, neatly dressed and very
neat in appearance. The frequent
clanking of the bis chains on his
ankles did not disturb him. The
prisoner talked freely, and it may be
added cheerfully, about what he has
done as his -bit" to help the Father
land. His guards said he had been
talking all the way and they didn't
object to a reporter for the Ansonian
asking him a few questions. It was
soon evident that Mr. Horn didn't
mind answering for Germany every
time. He was reading a copy of the
i.aleigh News and Observer and
smoking a live cent cigar, which he
said was not as good as a two-cent
cigar "Made in Germany." Asked
w hat he thought of the war at this
time, he replied that Germany had
the whole world beaten six months
ago. He says there Is no hope for
the Allies even with the United States
3,000 miles away, doing what it c-n
to help them. This was but another
German trick. It is typical of them
to try in every way possible to put
courage out of the hearts of those
who are fighting Germany.
When told of the great numbers of
people now fighting Germany today,
Horn said in very good English,
"That's Just the trouble, you people
depend on numbers for everything,
we count on efficiency." He is "car
ried away" and seems almost insane
ly drunk with the idea that Ger
many's preparedness will win every
thing, lie sees nothing anywhere to
compare with the greatness of his
country and having been a military
man, a lieutenant, he says, in the
German army, he sees everything and
thinks of everything in terms of mili
tary greatness. Talking with him
one soon finds that he has been train-

his manner of boastfulness, Horn Is
what we call In this country a crank.
He has. no doubt, come of a long line

VU.lt I P THE CARS
Shippers are Apiealed to for the Pur
pose of Helping Out in Car Short
age Icemorlee Mill lies ponds.
The railroad people ere getting in
a hobble about car shortage, much of
which trouble can be remedied by the
aid of shippers who use car loads.
The average capacity of a freight car
In this section is 57 tons. The aver
age loading Is fifteen tons per car, or
less than half the car capacity. This
i.i what Is largely responsible for
car shortage. The remedy Is for
shippers to till up a car and not take
two cars to carry one car load. This
matter is being put to local shippers
by Mr. J. A. Douglass, Seaboard agent
here, with the request that they co
operate with the company In every
possible way. The Icemorlee Mill at
onre agreed to do tills, though the
loading of heavy goods such a3 they
ship makes It dll limit and more ex
pensive to fill a car to the top. How
ever, Mr. Icema'i readily agreed to
respond to the company's request.
In order to keep up with the emer
gency the railroad proposesthls slo
gan: "Make one car do the work that
heretofore lias required two. It can
be done." And they add, " A freight
car is the foundation of prosperity.
When our patrons deliberately delay
a car they are keeping the car from
earning what it should for the pa
trons and the railroac"."
