In early life Mr. Covington united him self with Piney Grove Baptist church and ever afterward lived a consecrated christian life. For twelve years he lived in Marlboro county, S. C. and having moved back to his native county and State became one of the pioneer member- or Rockingham Baptist church. In the year 1861 at the age of seven teen years he enlisted in Col. O. H. Dockery's company and for four years spent his time at the front in the thick est of the fight battling for his country's rights.

Dockery-McNair Clothing Co. 0 0 NEW FOOD ORDER IS FAR-REACHIfJG More Than 100,000,000 Bushels of Wheat Necessary to Win the Wax. JjS- CONFUSION WAS UNAVOIDABLE n nnnnmnnnmnmmmnuuuuuu Not More Than 70 Per Cent of Normal Supply of Flour Will Be Available from Now Until Next Harvest Substitute Cereals Plentiful, of Great Variety and No Less Nutri tious Than Wheat No Ex ceptions Can be Made and Dealers and Consumers Must Act in Good Faith, Raleigh. The recent order of the Food Administration under authority of President Wilson's proclamation for bidding the sale of wheat flour except in combination with an equal weight of cereal substitutes is the most far reaching and radical order that has been Issued since the beginning of the war with the possible exception of the Fuel Administration's order closing; down all Industries for a period of At days on account of the fuel situation. , Did Not Come Toe 8oon. The order of the Food Administra tion, in the opinion of well informed men, did not come too mob. This na tion faces the absolute necessity of supplying out of Hs normal consump tion of flour more than 109,000,000: bushels of wheat and this must com during the next fire months or so. The government is taking 30 per cent of the output of all of the larger floor mills, which means that none of our merchants during the next live months can hope to secure mora than 70 per eent of their normal demands of flour. In no other way, except by the order requiring combination tales, could an. equitable distribution of this reduced supply of flour hare been sold. The fear that some people have had that they may go hungry Is not only groundless but is absolutely ridiculous' because this country has a list of cereal substitutes that is almost Inex haustible Insofar as human consump ion is concerned. These substitutes are just as wholesome as wheat flour. 8ome Confusion Unavoidable. Naturally there Is now and will be for some time confusion and some in convenience and some slight hard ships imposed upon some people be cause of the low supply of cereal sub stitutes In the channels of trade, the demand for these cereal substitutes having been much smaller up to this time than they will be. This matter will quickly adjust itself, however, with due regard to cost to the con sumer. In other words, the Food Ad ministration Is not going to permit profiteering in these substitutes simply because they are scarce. It has absolutely controlled the situation with regard to sugar and flour price and there is no reason to believe that it will not control this situation effect ively. The Food Administration has already Indicated by actions as well as by words that any merchant who dis regards the new order or who does not act In good faith will be promptly dealth with. Must Be Good Faith. Corn meal and edible wheat shorts and middlings are Included In the list of cereal substitutes that may be sold In combination with flour only when they are of edible quality and are go ing io Do useu lur uuiuuu uuusuiuyuuu and not for livestock teed. Ordinary shipped stuff and similar products may not be regarded as a cereal sub stitute. It has been suggested that retail merchants confine their sales of flour along with cereal substitutes to very small amounts until they are able to replenish their stocks of cereal sub stitutes. This course is being general ly followed by retailers who desire to protect all of their customers. List of Substitutes, Cereal substitutions that may be sold in combination with flour are corn meal, corn flour, edible wheat shorts and middlings, edible corn starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour, rolled oats, .oatmeal, rice, rice flour, potato flour, sweet potato flour, buck wheat flour, cottonseed flour, milo, kaffir and feterita flours and meals. soya beans flour, peanut flour, casava flour, taro flour, banana flour. No other product other than those named may be substituted. luAutfcMieuoe Trt fa Diirn to SLIGHT. Raleigh. Complaint has been made that the new order of the Food Admin istration forbidding the sale of flour except In combination with cereal sub stitutes imposes some inconvenience and in some instances even some little hardship upon farmers who have their own corn ground into meal, Even these farmers must purchase an equal amount of corn meal or some other cereal substitute along with bis flour. There Is no restriction, however, which will prevent this farmer from selling his corn meal to the retailer even though he buys back a part or all of this meal. " . y ' It la evident that no exoeotion can bo made for the benefit even of this class because a retailer must , pur chase from one source or another HSOftd. of. teres! sabpUtutee for every
