The Chamber of Commerce an nounces that an agreement has 4een reached with the Vance township road commissioners whereby the stretch of the Wilmington-Charlotte -lilghway through that township will be repaired. Thus, with the action of the Monroe township cotnmisison--ers, the highway seems an assuned fact. Prosperity abounds over the country, and tales of high wagos that Union county men are making at inu nitlon plants, and cantonments, al lure one about as much as a gold rush would. Two young Union coun ty boys, it is said, are working some .'where near Norfolk for the magnifi cent sum of 17 per day. It is ex tremely doubtful If either ever made over $2 a day before the war. started. When a young farmer like Mr. Vern Rape, who hails from Buford, walks Into a store and buys 1116 worth of crimson clover seed, It is time for a few more of the older heads to sit up and take notice. Any way, that's what Mr. Rape did, and Mr. Dunk Therrell, the saleman at the English drug store, who handled the transaction, stands ready to back up the statement. Crimson clover seed sells for 21 rents a pound. Last year Mr. Rape planted a good deal of crimson clover, he expects to sa of clover, but he turned it all in; los ing of course, the seed. This year, however, he expects to save the seed. He. bids fair to have some of the best land obtainable in a few years If he kt-eps this method up. Virginia isn't dry yet at least one section, which la Hopewell. A darkey pot off the train here yester day, and in a wabbily fashion, walk ed Into the waiting room. Chief Christenbury, who was standing near by, noticed his gait, and began to make Inquiilea. He talked with the conductor of the train, who Inform ed him that the man in question was "the best natured drunk negro he had fver seen." The darkey had giv en him his money about $65 to keep for him, and he behaved In a creditable manner on the train. He told the conductor that he had been working at Hopewell. As the negro was quiet, end was wafting for a train to take him to Charlotte. Chief Christenbury did not molest him. Suicide Near Wadesboro. (From the Wadesboro Ansouian.) Frank Potter of Atlanta Ga. jump ed from train No. 6 last night as it was passing Russellville, a flag sta tion four miles from Wadesboro, and was instantly killed. His body was recovered by railway employes and brought here at 10:30 and prepared for burial by Mr. S. S. Shepherd, af ter which it was shipped to Athens this morning. Potter was 30 years ot age and married. The first intimation that there was anything unusual was con templated by him was when he left the wholesale dry goods store of Michael Bros., where he was em play ed, Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock. He did not tell any one where he was going and when he failed to return at 6. o'clock and close the store, which was his duty, his friends be came alarmed. They found that he had bought a ticket for Hamlet. N. C. Mr. Walter E. Johnson, another employe of the firm, left at once to locate Potter. He got off at Mou roe to look through a train there but failed to find Potter and did not have time to catch the train which left there for Hamlet at 6 o'clock yester day afternoon. If he could have gone on to Hamlet, as he expected to do it is probably that he could have prevented the rash act. In talking to a representative of The Ansonian this morning Mr. John son says there was no reason so far as he knows why the young man should have taken his life. He was within the draft age but his number had not been called. His wife, he says wired him yesterday to come home. Mr. Arthur Chapman of Great Falls, S. C, Is the man who is said to have seen Potter Jump from the train window. It cannot be stated Just how he fell, his shoes were rip ped open by the fall, both legs bro ken and there was one black eye. though the skin was not broken. It was intimated by some that this might be a result of foul play.. The coroner. Mr. John Jones, is here and will hold an inquest. He will prob ably ask that Chapman come here to testify. In Potter's pocket were two tele grams, one sent from Athens 9:49, yesterday morning reading as fol- "Almost crazy, come at once, cannot- live without you. Wife." "Another sent from there at 9:57 read as follows: "Couie home on first train, I will not let anyone send you away." This was signed "Ernest" and is presumed to have been from his em ployer. He had been with the firm for thirteen years and his wife was Miss Estelle Hooland of Moultrie, Ga. Monday morning was pay day and he asked for his pay in cash but the firm had deposited the cash except $50 and this was given to him. He had a receipted bill from a local drug firm, which he paid Monday. It Is believed that he ha"d worried over the prospects of being called and friends noticed several days ago that he was not altogether himself. Mr. Johnson says Potter was an ex cellent saleman, did not drink and his friends cannot account for his act. He was well-known andt very popular In the city. In his pocket was a ticket to Athens, Ga., indicat ing that he expected to return, and $28 in cash. Mr. C. J. Shelby of Charlotte, now working in Wadesboro, loaned Pot- tor a pencil at Hamlet to slm tor a telegram there. He noticed that the young man was evidently worry ipg and others noticed thK He did not tpeak to anyone but when the boy c:nie In the train and called his nr.me, he replied, "Here I am," an.l signe.1 for the telegram. When Mr IShelhy left the train at Wadesboro, he noticed Potter sitting with his hand against his face, the window was raised at that time. The Cradle or the lied Cross. Surgery and medicine did not come into use on the battlefields before the lost decade of the 18th century. Be fore that time wounded soldiers were either carried to the rear by their comrades or left unattended to and exposed until the fighting was ove. Surgical assistance did not reash the battlefield until the day after the en gagement or even later and for man- of the wounded it was then too late. In 1792 Baron Dominique Jean Larrey, of the French army, intro duced his system of "ambulance volantes" or flying field hospitals, capable of moving rapidly from place to place They gave primary surgical treatment and removed the wounded quickly from the field. Napoleon warmly supported Larrey, and the system was quickly brought to a high state of efficiency In the Grand Army. The actual founder of the Red Cross society was Jean Henri Dunant, a philanthropic citizen of Geneva, Switzerland. On June 14,1859, he chanced to be present at the battle of Solferlno and was an eye witness to the vast amount of unnecessary suffering that resulted from the in ability of the regular surgical corps for the thousands ot wounded who lay upon the field. Three years later he published a book on his experiences at Solferlno and advocated an international con vention to provide for the aiding oi the wounded in war. This conven tion, which took place at Geneva In 1863, neutralized the surgical corps of hostile armies and volunteer so cieties caring for the wounded. As a compliment to Switzerland the Swiss Hag In reversed colors, I. e., a red cross on a white field, was to be adopted universally aud worn on arm bands by all members of the neutral staffs. Geneva has been since that time the headquarters of the Inter national Red Cross society. From "Switzerland, the Good Samaritan," by Marie Wldmer, in the American Review of Reviews for August, 1917. Ti:e Kaiser in Court. - Mr. W. J. Pratt came across the following Interesting paragraph in "Law Notes" for August: "It may not be generally known that some years ago (1856) a pre decessor of the present relgnlns 'All Hlghnest,' Frederick William IV, be came a suitor In the courts of Mis souri seeking to recover from the es tate of a deceased postmaster a sum with which he absconded to Ameri ca (King of Prussia vs. Kuepper's Admr.. 22 Mo. 551). The royal plain tiff thus modestly described his status: 'The plaintiff states that he is absolute monarch of the kingdom of Prussia, and as king thereof is the sole government of that country; that he is unrestrained by any constitu tlon or law. and that his will, express ed in due form, is the only law of that country, and Is the only legal power there known to exist as law.' All of which is commended to the no tice of thoRe whose consciences re volt at the effort to prevent that type of government from gaining a world ascendency." Mack Rushing, a young Goose Creeks white man, was arraigned be fore United States Commissioner M I.. Flow this morning for falling to register for military service. He waived examination by registering as 21. Ho is not now entitled to claim exemption, but is RubJect to military call from the government at any time. However, he must appear be fore Judee Boyd In Federal court the fi-st Monday in October. Lem hossa man. also from Goose Creek, was in llri(..i under a similar charge, but sufficient evidence was produced to ihnw that l-.o was 31 years of age Tim nrrpsts were made by E. C. Wil liams.

It has become quite a fad anions some of the young courtin' people to place stamps in the center nf envel opes instead of sticking them in the upper right hand corner where stamps on business letters ara placed. While postmarking letters hurriedly a few days ago, Homer Leonard, clerk In the postoffiee at this place, came In contact with such a letter and In attempting to land the post marking stamp where it would cancel the postage on the letter he succeed ed in his attempt, but forgot to take his finger out of the way and conse quently has been carrying a very sore finger on the left hand since the fa tal blow was struck. Homer Is con fident that those who have acquired the habit of placing stamps in the center, of their- letters would stop it without warning if they could . just borrow his sore finger for i few hours.
