The country and the world knows that it owes to you a debt of thanks and gratitude which cannot be measured by words but only by the affection, the respect, esteem, now yours, of those among whom you live and from whom you live and from whom you have tak en that which was beyond price. . . .

Conquers Rheumatism In a Very Few Days NORTH CAROLINIANS WILL LOSE GOVERNMENT JOBS. A Transport That Carried Fourteen Thousand Boys. (Charlotte Observer.) With the new turn-over of Ger man ships the Allies will have quite an abundant supply of German bot toms. When the United States declared war with Germany these ships were seized and equipped for service ' in transportation of troops and sup plies. They gave useful service. too. One of these vessels, a crack German passenger liner, lay at an chor in the North River one night and next day she had disappeared. It was not permitted to say so at the time, but that converted German steamer carried out the entire Camp Greene command of 14,000 North western boys, with a couple odd hun dred from other camps to fill up space. This country will always re gard itsself beholden to the German Government for the use of some of the biggest and swiftest ships in the world in the. carrying over of a couple of millions of the finest sol diers in the world. ' j It is an established fact that a small dose of Rheuma taken once a day has driven the pain and agony from thousands of racked, crippled and despairing rheumatics during the last seven years. Powerful and sure; quick acting, yet harmless and inexpensive, Rheu ma gives blessed relief almost at once. The magic name has reached nearly every hamlet in the land and there is hardly a druggist anywhere who car.' t tell you of almost marvel ous cures. If ycu are tortured with Rheuma tism or sciatica, you can get Rheuma from J. G; Hall, or any druggist, with the understanding that if it does not completely drive rheumatic poisons from your system money back. For Conspiracy. Thirteen officers and employes of the Coastwise Lumber and Supply Co., New York, have been arrested charged with a conspiracy to defraud the government through not deliver ing lumber for which the govern ment paid. The company's contracts are reported to aggregate $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 and the lumber was to be supplied to camps. Control of Congress by Republicans Presages Many Changes in the Personnel of Employes. There will be a great return of Washingtonians to North Carolina next year, when Senators Penrose and Lodge take charge of things in the senate and Representatives Mann and Forney in the house. From the offices of Senators Simmons and Ov erman and Tar Heel members of the house an outpouring of young men will be witnessed. From Senator Simmons' commit tee will go Frank A. Hampton, Col. C. B. Webb and others. A. L. Diggs who came here from Asheville to connect himself with the senate rules comittee, will give way to some Re publican. Mr. Diggs is a hot-headed, hard-working Democrat. He belongs to the mountain clans. Mr. Hampton may be on the way to the office of lieutenant governor by that time. His name has been mentioned in connection with that place. Mr. Webb may revive his tombstone business. He has bought his home here and may remain in Washington. Samual S. Mann, of the House Committee on rivers and harbors, will trek back to Nag's Head. Seth. E. High, the faithful, now with the Ways and Means Committee may return to the soil around Wil son. Augustus L. Quickel, of the House judiciary committee, may return to Lincolton to resume the practice of law. There will be other changes. BREAKS A COLD IN FEV HOURS TRY IT!
