The Fourth Liberty Loan- has been "put across." The American people have subscribed upwards of u nnn 000,000 with which tX nr.n-. A J 1 " " !" LUtJ prosecution of the itrS 1116 county has done llut i7iltS QUOta has been ken with a little to spare. Sioorionan nf g the county lacked 5f.l00.000 of the amount required but .10i"A1 ofturuay one team was sent into Northern Granville, another to the ooutnern ena ot the county and a third worked in Oxford. Here in Ox ford an additional $75,000 was rais ed by men who agreed to increase their subscriptions by $1,000 or more and the remainder was obtained by the other two teams. The campaign for the loan has tested the loyalty and patriotism of our people and, with only a few ex ceptions, they responded nobly. The county as a whole is 100 per cent, loyal and patriotic, but this cannot be said of a few men in the county. The men. who backed the Government and will continue to do so feel that the time has come when action should be taken with respect to those few. Where a man within the draft ages is able to take bonds and does not do so, there will little trouble in disposing of his case. Whether he is married or not, he can be placed in Class 1. If such a man will not sup- sup port the Government with his money, he can fight. A list of all men able to subscribe and who did not will ! be made by the County Council of Defense and the proper action taken in their cases. Chairman Yancey had the best or ganization ever perfected in the county. The business men of the county closed their places whenever called upon and gave their full time to the work. Without invidious com parisons it may be said that the to bacco warehousemen and buyers did all that men could do and that the success of the loan is very largely due to their efforts. THE GERMANS DEPORT 15,000 INHABITANTS OF LILLE The Most of the Captives Are Young Women. Paris, Oct. 20. During the last fifteen days of their occu pation of -Lille the Germans took away into captivity 15,000 of the inhabitants of that city. The most of the captives are young women. Many women were put to death for resisting until the last. WHERE IS THE SNAKE? They Have a Little Fun Over In the Hurricane. It is said that one of the wise men over in the Hurricane, and there are several of them, played a trick rec ently on his neighbors, and it is doubtful whether or not all of them know it yet. There was a big stump near his barn, and he had tried for a long time to" hire someone to dig it up. One day he had a "working and invited his neighbors to ielp cover some outbuildings. He made a hole by the old stump, and drug some old object along through the sand to the hole. When the work men had finished their work, Mr. accidentally (?) found the snake track. Eagerly the men fol lowed it to the stump and then set to work to dig out the big snake. After an hour or two of hard woik and much sweating the old stump was rolled out, but .somehow the snake never could be found. A Card of Thanks. We take this feeble manner of at tempting to express to the people in and around Oxford our appreciation for the many acts of kindness and expressions of sympathy shown u during the -illness and after the death of our dear son. Especially do we wish to thank the noble phy sTcis for their heroic efforts to save his life. May God in His infinite wis dom amnly reward those . who me tered to' him or to us during this trying ordeal. Mr.-and Mrs. W. H. Creedmoor, N. C., October 21, 1918. RED CROSS WAR"fUND.

The situation was so grave it became necessary for the Government to draft labor to build coffins and caskets. A special from High Point, dated October 20, says: "The management of a local cof fin and casket manufacturing plant authorized by the officials at Wsh ington to draft labor from other plants of the city if it were neces sary to run day and night so that the present output of the concern might be doubled.

As a result of painstaking, study of epidemic influenza since the epi demic of 1889, Dr. J. Madison Tay lor, an eminent professor of applied therappeutics, has collected many valuable ideas on the treatment of influenza which he has made public. The Treatment. Dr. Taylor's statement follows: "In this epidemic certain features are more prominent than in others, though they usually occur. They are chills, pains in the head, in the back, a sense of 'breaking bones' also now a pain in the right side low down, which is ascribed to the liver, or as. it seems to me, more often an involvment. of the diaphragin and attachments and the pleura. The temperature runs higher now, even when there is no pneumonia. In most of the cases I meet the fever subsides on the third or fourth day unless broncho-pneumonia follows. Use a Hot Foot Bath. "My routine is to use a hot foot bath for ten minutes, as often as the headache and ba,ck pains increase, the legs hanging over the side of the bed, the body lying flat all the time; next an enema of warm water, one quart, salt and bicarbonate of soda. If the temperature be very high this can be used cool; if low it can be used, so as to equalize the tempera ture in the abdominal vessels. Use Warm Flat Iron. "After that let the patient lie on the breast, apply a damp blanket or piece of woolen cloth to the whole back, and pass a warm flat iron up and down for five minutes, lifting away if it burns and then drop again and proceed. This relieves the back and side pain and headache, and can be repeated with great satisfaction whenever it relieves; it also induces comfortable sweating. Sponge With Tepid Water. "Whenever the temperature rises above. 103 degrees it is also well to sponge with tepid water as in typhoid or other fever. This induces sleep and allays restlessness. In pneu monia these combined measures seem to reduce the cough, too. The Food Question. "It is well "to use no foods whatso ever for three days except fruit juice, orange juice or lemon juice. To all drinking water add a tablespoonful of salt to the pint, so as to supply the immense loss of sodium chloride which occurs, and to encourage the drinking of water thus fortified by the salt. To this may be added fruit juice or grape juice or other agree able fluid. After the third day and not before, some food may be taken, preferably buttermilk, but not meat soups because animal broths contain much that the body is already striv ing to get rid of. This starvation seems to help .the liver, to empty out its contents and to give it, and the whole group of digestive organs, a rest. INFLUENZA AT THE OXFORD ORPHANAGE Nurses Are Badly Needed at the Institution. Influenza made its appearance at the Oxford Orphanage last Saturday when fifteen cases were reported. It gained headway rapidly and on Mon day night sixty cases were reported. Superintendent Brown announced Monday that nurses are badly need ed at "the institution. There have been no deaths at the Orphanage. There are a few cases of influenza in the Oxford cotton mill village, but no deaths have occurred. Perhaps the largest gathering of people is at the Imperial Tobacco plant. Only two cases among the working force is reported to date. YOU MUST REGISTER. And You Should Also Cast Your Vote. Election day is only two weeks off. Until now no attention has been paid to the subject of voting, but it is well to remember that we must sustain the Administration by our votes as well as in other ways.
