C. Oct. 8, 1914 Mr. G. W. Vestal, Chairman-Republican County Execu tive Committee, for Alamance Co. Burlington, N. C. Dear Sir:- I want to thank the mass convention that assembled at Graham on last Sat urday, October 3, which nominated me for Sheriff ot Alamance County, and while I appreciate this honor I am forced to decline same and in addition, I learn that Mr. H. C. Walker, one of the leading citizens of our county has announced hia candidacy for this office and knowing Mr. Walker as I do, and that he is thoroughly qualified for thiss office, and believing that he would make an excellent Sheriff of our coun ty, and serve the citizens and the tax payers of the county entirely satis factory to them, I am further induced to not allow my name to be used and urge that your executive committee accept my resignation, and endorse the candidacy of Mr. Wnlker and I ask my friends in the county to sup port Mr. Walker for this office, and hope that he will be elected, if so en dorsed. Yours very truly, W. E. White. A Reunion Dr.,W. E. Swain and wife attended a family reunion at the home of A. M., Isley Thursday tha*; was quite an ex tensive affair.

A Second Observance The results of the first observance of “Go-to-Church” Sunday in Charlotte last Spring were of such an encourag ing nature that the Ministerial Asso ciation a little later decided to repeat the call in the Fall. October 11 was set as the Sunday which should be so observed, and the services in the Charlotte churches the coming Sunday will take on a special character. There will be no doubt the same fine reception of the idea as prevailed on the first occasion, and it is likely that the re cord crowd of the“Go-to-Church” Sun day in the Spring will be a little im proved upon.—Charlotte Observer.

The War Still Raging Since Germany has captured Antwerp, she is pushing out trying to sweep across Belgium in her war of invasion. The Bel gium people have been compelled to move their capital over in to France at Havre. The Germans are largely relying upon their big guns. Those at Antwerp have already been moved to other points, posibly at Belfort. There is a report that the Germans are now turning out a gun that will throw a ball twenty five miles. There is no material change in the line of defence held by the allied armies. The splendidly tiained soldiers of the German Emperor it would seem are proving a match for the world. Ofcourse it would now look like a long drawn out war, and nothing to curtail it. To Speak Here We are asked to announce that the Democratic candidates will speak in Mebane on Wednesday night Oct 21.

Sam Jones who in hi'^ day was one of America’s great evangelists occassionaly indulged in some trite catchy expression. When some of Sam congregation got warmed up about some telling remak he had made, in other words thought he was hitting at them, he would say that when he threw a brick in the dark, and heard a dog hollor he was sure he had hit one, and when he had made a • random remark, and some people began fussing about it, it was natural to suppose they had been struck. This is all there is too it. Marriage Maze. “Never marry for love where there Is also money; you will be bored to death. But never marry for love where there Is no money. And never marry for money where there la no love. Also, never marry without love or money.”—Prom “Pantomime,** by G. B, j Attention is called to revised tariffs containing rates for the transportation I of freight between points in North j Carolina, effective October 13, 1914. : Thefe tariffs are issued in a^ccordance ! with the decision of the Special Kale ; Commission, dated August 13, 1914. ; All freight tariffs of the Southern i Railway Company in conflict with the ! provisions of this order have been can- : celed or revised to conform to the rates I rules and regulations prescribed by the i Special Rate Commission. Special attention is called to the fact |\hat in the application of this new law, j many important changes and new conditions are brought ‘‘about, |ihe I knowledge of which is essential to every shipper and receiver of freight in North Carolina. Ordinarily there is but j[one j rate between any two points within th*^ i 'State. Under the new law there will ! be as many rates between two giver I points as there are available routes j between such points. A new basis for I making joint rates with other lines is ! provided and the shipper has the right to select the shortest available route. Some of these routes, while physically shorter than others, are longer from the standpoint of efficient service, and the movement of freight via these unusual routes will necessarily require more time than if sent via more efficient routes. Shippers should in all cases insert in the bill of lading the route over which it is desired that the shipment move. H shipments are tendered to Agents of this Company and destined to a point on its own line, but without specific routing instructions, it will be assumed that it IS the desire of the shipper that the shipment move oyer the Southern ^ Railway at its lawlully established I rate, even though a lower rate may be ; in force via another route. For further information apply to the Agent at this Station or to the tollowing officers: Mr. HAMILTON BAXTER, Div. Frt. Agent, Greensboro, N. C. Mr. J. H. ANDREWS, Div. Frt Agent, Raleigh, N. C. Mr. A. K. ORR, Div. Frt. Agent, Asheville, N. C. Mr. H. A. PARKER, Commercial Agent, Charlotte, N. C. Terms of Peace Viscount Haldane iJecares England Will Hemaiid of Germany. “The terms of peace will be that the dominant s)»irit of militarism which has pervaded every talent of the German nation will be crushed and broken so that those who come after us shall be free from such terror. Tiiis was the concluding remark of a speech delivered at Newcastle by Vis count HaManc, lord high chancellor, at a meeting to influence recruiting. Viscount Haldane claimed Great Britain was iighting because it was it was a sacred duty. He paid a tribute to the great qualities of the German nation, but saitl it had been prostituted to military uses and this war was to ■ end that spirit of militariasm. The Littl^ Dreams That Die in War. (From The Chicago Herald.) “Chicago Frenchmen off to the War Today,” “Twelve Thousand Seek Passage to War Scene,” “Two Thor- sand Austrians Ready.” These and many other newspaper headlines abouc reservists call attention to the little dreams that die in wax’s fierce atmo=^- phere, the long-held, secret hopes thac are blasted by the deadly fires of conflict. These reservists wljo are hastening back at their country’s oali-Germans, Austrians, Frenchmen, Englishmen— was this the return they had dreamed of? Was it with the idea of going back to their native lands to play a part in the terrible tragedy of war that they came to this country, with all its golden opportLin'.ties? No. Most of them came with joycus hearts either to mp'^e a home here or to return at last to the Fatherland with the fruits of peace and hoiu st labor.. Most of them had thought to take some Gretchen or Marie or Joan by the hand, after the years of waiting and struggle, to make a little heai’th and home against old age. Heretofore we have thought and talked chiefly of the larger aspects of the great conflict, of the vast empires that arm, of the millions that march with measured step to the fray, of kings snd lulers and the great men of the earch, of the great conflicts by sea and land that bid fair to recast the map of Europe and the world. But more jjoignant in appeal to the human heart, more close to tears than even the thought of the wreck of great empires, is tht thought pf the millions of humble folk who must put aside the little dreams that were all the world to them, the little cherished plans further^ ed by patient tbnft and waiting, that great kings may decide their quarrels. In the mi-zei. of this thought the kings and empires and creat things fade, and one sees only the French peasant who has saved and saved, the German peasant who has worked and worked, ihe Russian peasant who has suffered and suffered, compelled to submit with dumb, patient eyes and kopeless heart as the little cup of hia happinfess is taken from his lips. ■I
