Remedies that the country is officially in tht World War, we who wear the khaki of business may well aBlt what our part will be what changes, if aiy, will be made in the regular course of ouf affairs; shall we do more or less advertising! We believe that adver tising is woven into the fabric of modern business and will make its voice beard and its power felt In spite of the tumult and the shouting, and that after the lords end kings depart (speed the day), It will be empleyed to a greater degree than ever In the work of reconstruction. Therefore, be it known by these presents that we expect to keep it up and that we stand back of all we advertise. We keep the goods to please the people. Our complete line comprising a pleas ing variety from the modest low priced through the medium to the high grade, enjoys correctness of de sign and construction and fiaish. Te this we add prompt. Intelligent tad courteous service. Welcome one and all IMPORTANT SUBSCRIPTION ANNOUNCEMENT Beginning January first. The Journal will stop all subscriptions promptly on the date of their ex piration. Two weeks notice, how ever will be given each subscrib er, which will afford ample time to send in. a renewal. This new ruling Is necessary for many reasons. Owing to the increased cost of paper, labor and supplies, the margin of profit on a subscription is so small that each subscription which laps ov er a few issues without being re newed represents a small loss. Taking hundreds of these togeth er, the loss represents a big amount annually. Another reason for the cash In advance system is that it does away with the enormous expense of postage, printing and work In sending out statements. When we begin this system, we are not going to be guided by names. We are simply going to tell the mailing clerk to look at the dates on the right hand side of the label and stop all subscrip tions when the time expires. This can easily be done without even knowiug the name of the sutx scriber. If you want The Journal to keep up its virits after January, 1918. get the label right Meeting of Colored Teachers of the County. There will be a meeting of the col ored teachers of the county held In the Colored Graded School building in Monroe, on Saturday, Nov. 17th, beginning at 10:30 o'clock. All the colored teachers of the county are urged to be present. Opening exercises by Rev. II. O. Frederick. 1. General School Work In the County, by County Supt. 2. Health by Dr. Stevens. 3. The War and the Schools by Mr. D. C. Ashcraft. 4. Round Table Talks by Teachers and others. R. N. MSBET. County Supt Methodist (Juthor in Asheville. Asheville, Nov. 13. One of the greatest meetings in the history or the western North Carolina confer ence of the M. E. church, south, will be held in Asheville beginning Wed nesday, according to all indications. The conference this year is unusual ly important, because, in addition to the regular list of assignments to be given out, the conference will also elect delegates to the general con frence of the church, which will be held at Atlanta in May. Asheville homes have boon thrown open for the accommodation of the delegates, and ever' possible courtesy will be extended to them. The meet ing will be held at Central Methodist church, one of the finest of the con ference. Ashevllle's Interest in the confer ence this year will be less than usual. by reason of the fact that few changes are to be made in this immediate vicinity. Practically all the Metho dist preachers in Asheville and vicini ty have been changed during the past two years, and no changes are expect ed to take place this year. The sessions, which start Wednes day, will be continued over till next Monday, at which time It is probable that the appointments will be read. Since the establishment of the con ference 28 years ago It has convened in Asheville three times and this will make the fourth session in this city. Charlotte and Winston have entertained the conference three times; Concord, Statesville, Relds ville, Salisbury, Greensboro, Gastonia and High Point two times; Monroe, Hickory, Mount Airy and Shelby one time.

Dilly Sunday is preaching ln At tn nta. He doesn't seem to fancy too much kissing, even by a mother. Here's the way he takes a swing at the subject: "I never have known a man who was much of a success who fiad a frapped, frisxle-headed, mani cured, always kissing proposition for a mother." And here's the way he pays his respect to the young fellow who is known as a sporty guy. "The sporty guy with green vest and sports a filk lid and puffy eyelids, looks as good to a hard-headed business man as a counterfeit dollar." Carl Tucker, of the Pageland Jour nal, has come in possession of the presumption, supposition or informa tion that John Beasley adjusts his tie, combs his hair down smooth and parts it in the middle every time be' vans ii. in iuc imuuio eTrry iiiuc ow-'-ij n , 0,,,. i ,v, v, , f.u v..jold, flagman on Southern railway 17J n&X:r,.,.,: I don't think Carl should try to courage him in this habit. It's better to look well when talking at the oth er end of the phone line than to look common all the time. My Impression is that John is rather modest and timid when in the presence of young ladies. Anyway, I saw some fine op portunities that he failed to embrace while on a trip with him over in Goose Creek township. www Pete Griffin and Ralph Chambers, two colored citizens, passed each oth er on a corner Saturday and Pete extended the following greeting to Ralph: "Hello, Ralph, you are gettln' right thin since meat went up." That expression "since meat went up" Is significant. Two times recently when I went into a meat market here I saw colored women get prices on meat, have pieces weighed and then shake their heads and walk out without making purchases. An incident is related about the 1884 cyclone that passed through GUboa vicinity. Aaron Asbcraft's house was blown away together with its occupants. After lt had let his son, Pete, down ln a field some distance from the house Pete exclaimed .l'.i some degree of astonishment, ' .V, where is we?" The Chesterfield Advertiser t;lis about how the managers of tne Cum- terfleld fair refused to let the fakirs and gamblers Into the fair grounds. One of them appearod to be rather independent and resentful. "I don t have to do this sort of work," one of them exclaimed, "Im just in it for my health." He was then told that some other town would suit his health better, and that Chesterfield has proven to be a very unhealthy place for such as he. I am wondering what Chesterfield had against the other towns to which they told him to go. I'm not done sowing yet," Is an expression heard frequently from farmers,, which Indicates that the high price of cotton is not keeping the wheat and oats out of the ground. It Is a foolish manwho falls to make arrangements for a living at home under war conditions.

(From, the Marshville Home.) ' The splendid majorities given for all three propositions voted on in the road election in Marshville township Saturday is. indeed, gratifying to the friends of good roads. It indicates two thlngs.

Horse power and ma- I chinery can grade roads very rapid ly oenina a surveyor. No more work should be done on the present roadbeds than Is neces sary to keep them up until they can be surveyed and graded, and as we have already .stated this temporary- maintenance work can be done with road scrapes drawn by horse power. What we all want to see Is one good road in the township, and then others as fast as we can get them When we get one as an example oth ers will follow ln quick succession for many of the landholders them selves will decide to pay half the ex penses' of building the graded roads across their farms.
