The finishing touches are now be ing put on the North Main Street school building and everything will be in readiness for the opening of this school in September. The in terior work is practically finished and the basement rooms are now be ing finished and cement steps placed. This is one of the best small school houses in th 'state and will be a great convenience to the citizens in that section of the city. The build ing contains a spacious auditorium with stage and is well equipped in eery way. The improvement on the street leading to the building is now going on and will be a great help. Work has again begun on the West Ward school, this having been held up some time on account of the contractor being unable to get ma terial. It is believed work will go unhindered until this splendid school building is completed. How ever, it will be impossible to have it ready for the opening of school in September.

Mc Canless, who is now busy with a large force of men, shovels and teams cutting down the big fill to the north requests that automobile drivers slow down their machines while passing this point. Teams are crossing back and forth on this street continually all day and there is danger of running into the mules, wagons or shovels. An accident of this nature would prove serious for both drivers of machines and those of the teams and great care should be exercised. Mr. McCanless will place "Slow Down" signs at either end of the street where he is work ing. Several weeks will be requir ed to complete this work.

NC-132 A PIG IN HARNESS. Old Colored Woman of Dixonville Section Puts One Over on the City Sanitary Officer. City Sanitary Officer W. W. Poole ran across something unusual in his rounds this week. Ha was in the lower Dixonville section looking after nog pens ana located several near J homes and which he ordered removed to points nearer the creek. However, one. old colored woman put one over ort the sanitary officer. There is an ordinance regulating "hog pens," and wherever this is being violated the officer interferes. This old woman was found to be keeping a pig but maintaining no pig oi hog. She sim-. ply. had her young swine hoked up in regular bull dog harness and would lead it about or tie it to a stake, us ing different grazing places. She avowed that she maintained no pig pen or hog lot, and MV. Poole, seeing it was up to him, told the old woman she would probably be able to eat hog meat this winter. This .particular pig has developed : into a regular pet. DEATH OF AGED WOMAX Mrs. Milinda Trexler Dies at the Age of Eighty Years at the Home of Her Son.

What is LAX-FOS (By Associated Press.) lilaleigh, July 13. The war depart ment announces thatarth Carolina will furnish- 15,974 men for the draft armiy. General Bliss on the Assignment. Washin'A'tQn, July 13. Major Gen eral Bliss, chief of staff, has before him a list of assignments of the Na tional guard as distributed among the camps. It was submitted by the war de partment after the selection of the last three of the sixteen sites in harlotte, Hattysburg,.Miss., and Alex andria, La. The recommendation of the bureau will not be made public pending action by Gen. Bliss Sunday is the day set for the call ing out of the first guardsmen into service, though the draft clause of the defense act will not be applied to Guardsmen until August 5th. In a few days the movement will be, sup plies already been moved. The fact that the guard is to be under training even before drawing for the selective army begins, indi cates that of the men drawn the first to see service will be those assigned to fill vacancies in the guard or the regulars. Presumably the first men turned into the army by this process will go to these two forces and they may be under orders to poin their regiment sin less than two weeks. No announcement has been made as to the course to be followed with guard regiments already in the fed eral service and which are doing val uable work in guarding property all over the country. Some Interesting Army Figures. Washington, July 13. Formal an nouncement was made by the War Department today that 687,000 ftien will be selected from those registered on June 5th for the first national war army and to fill vacancies in the na tional guard and the regular army. The quota of men which each state will be required to furnish from -those registered on June 5th include North Carolina 15,974, South Carolina 10, 081, Virginia 13,795. The taible from which, the net quota was compiled shows enlistments in the national guard and regular army to June 30th will be allowed as credit. Instructions to governors of the sev eral States from the Secretary of War accompany the table and directs the governors of the various States to al lot the State's quota as given among the exemption boards in the districts so that each board will know exactly the number of men to be furnished by the district in filling the State's quo ta. Contrary to expectations the gov ernors are allowed to credit for the total strength to the national guard, including all those men who were in service prior to April 1st and who have been retained. Figures are given as follows for the total strength of the national guard April 1, 1917, 164,292. - Enlisted in the naval guard between April 1st and June 30th, 183,719. Enlisted in the regular army between April 1st and June 30, 117,974. Total credits al lowed for, 465,985. This means, ac cording to the estimate of govern ment officials, that the United States now has enrolled or under arms ap proximately 467,000 men classed as war volunteers and therefore consti tutes the credits to be allowed States from which enlisted. May Draw Early Next Week. Washington, July 13 Preparations for the final act in the organization of the new national army went forward rapidly today, indicating that despite delay it might be possible to hold early next week the drawing Which will establish the order by which nearly ten million registrants will ap pear before the exemption boards Probably 4,000 of the 4,559 loca exemption boards have completed or ganjzation,' given the serial number bo cards in the district and filed certi fied copies of the numerical lists. The office of Provost General Marshal Crowder had received 3,300 lists up to early today and undoubtedly hun dreds were in the mails. It is stated authoratively that as soon as the last (board has reported to the adjutan general of the State the Federal gov ernment could becin the draw. The fact that all numerical lists were eith er in Washington or in the mail wil be sufficient, and it will not be neces sary for all to reach Washington. French Vessels Sunk.

As was published a day or two ago the state of North Carolina will be called on for nearly sixteen thous and men for the draft army. The lo cal board estimates that on this basis Rowan county will have to yield about ! 250 men, and something like half of these come from Salisbury. . According to the plan of drawing it will require some time to get the de sirad number, for of the men drafted a large number will for one reason or another be exempted. The camps are not ready and may not be made ready for the whole number to be drafted, and no doubt it is deliberate- y planned that tne drawing be drawn out over considerable period of time.

WAS BEING CONDUCTED IN BLACKSMITH SHOP FAULTY SWEET POTATO STORAGE-HOUSE PLAN. SIXTEEN SUFFRAGISTS PICKETS ARRESTED IN WASHINGTON Large Quantity of Blockade Liquor Was Destroyed. Attempted to Stage a Picketnig Scene , at the White House Gates Taken to Police Headquarters and Requir- j ed to Put Up Bail Carried Ban- j ners With Numerous Inscriptions. (By Associated Press.) Washington, July 14 Sixteen suf fragists of the Woman's Party at tempted to stage a picket demonstra tion at the White House gates today in celebration of the fall of the bastile and were promptly arrested and taken to jail. Each gave bail in the sum of $25 to appear at police station Monday morning for trial on the charge of impeding traffic. There was virtually no disorder and a crowd of about 1,000 gathered for the widely advertised show and contented themselves with hooting and jeering as the police escorted the women away. From a building near the approach to the White House grounds three groups went out, one to the east gate, one to the .west gate and the third at the east gate to replace the members of the first section if they were arrested. In each instance the police endeavored to persuade the marchers to move on before making arrests. Banners were carried and these bore various inscriptions in cluding the motto of the French revo lutionists: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity."

A BAD SPRING FOR WOMEN. The late cold and damp spring seem to have been particularly severe on the health of women, and many are suffering from backache, rheu matic pains, aches and pains in sides, joints and muscles, lumbago and other ailments caused by overworked or disordered kidneys or bladder. Mrs. T. J. Bucknell, Hardy, Neb., writes: "I am recovering from an attack of lumbago by the aid of. Foley Kidney Pills. They surely help me." Wo men seem peculiarly liable to kidney trouble, and no symptom should be neglected. Sold everywhere. The Department of Agriculture Learns Southern Sweet Potato Growers Are Paying Exhorbitant Prices for Right to Used Patent Systems. Washington, July 13. There is no mystery about building a satisfactory storage house for sweet potatoes. Southern, farmers who are paying large prices for patented plans and equipment alleged to provide the only successful way of storing sweet po tatoes, are being defrauded. Spe cialists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture whose attention recently has been called to instances in which farmers paid as high as $750 for a set of plans, do not hesitate to brand such such activities as plain humbuggery. Plans of houses that inclrporate ,the simple priciples of storage and common sense methods of construction, and which have prov edsuccessful by years of careful trial, ar efurnished free by the Department of Agriculture to any farmer who will ask for 'them. Because reports have been made and circulated in the South that stor age houses recommended by the De ment of Agriculture are not satisfac tory, it is belived pecessary, now that the time to provide adequate storage for the coming harvest is at hand, to correct such statements. One man with plans to sell has said that the shinkage of sweet potatoes stor ed houses designed by the Govern ment is from 16 to 20 per cent, while in houses of his design there is prac tically no shrinkage. The fallacy of such a claim, Department specitlists point out, lies in the fact that shrink age is essential to good keeping of the potatoes. Sweet potatoes stored in the type of house recommended by the Department shrink from 8 to 10 per cent in weight, not builk by reason of evaporation of surplus mois ture. Proper curing of sweet potatoes means getting rid of surplus mois ture, and type of house which the spe cialists suggest accomplishes this by combining the ordinary principles of good ventilation with common sense methods of construction. Storage houses built according to plans suggested by the Department of Agriculture have been in use in every state of the South for five or six years. The Department has no knowledge of failure in any house built and operated strictly according to recommendations. Four years of investigation with one hundred houses under observation showed that the av erage loss by decay, after an average storage of 124 days, was less than 2 1-2 per cent. In detemining this loss personally graded the potatoes in each house a total of 288,000 bush els. Every potato that had a decayed spot was thrown out and classed as decayed. In each case the potatoes were harvested, stored and cared for by farmers. In the Department's own storage house at Arlington, Virginia, sweet potatoes stored in October last year and removed the latter part of June showed a loss of less than one per cent. Farmers intending to build storage houses should write to the Depart ment of Agriculture for Farmers Bul letin 548, "Storing and Marketing Sweet Potatoes' This bulletin gives plans and lists of materials needed and also tells how to convert buildings such as abandoned tenant houses into storage quarters. nT Burials Ever Witnessed in Al bemarle One of the Most Honored of Stanlys Citizens Laid to Rtst. Albemarle, July 12 -One of the largest crowds ever attending a fun eral in Stanly county was present at I the funeral of S. H. Milton, of this ' gtilj gjte iso Located and a city, today at 2:30 o'clock, une lun eral services were conducted at the home on North Second street by Rev. J. E. Gay, pastor of Central Metho dist church, of which the deceased was a member. The remains were in terred by the W. 0. W. in the old 10 bemarle cemetery. Mr. Milton was one of Stanly coun ty's most useful citizens; was the father of a large family; and had served in many positions of trust. He was for a number of years Clerk of the Superior Court of Stanly county. Has represented Stanly county in the lower house of the General Assem . bly, and has represented his district in the State senate. He was a man who .always had a due regard for the poor fellow who was down and out and these attend ed his funeral in large numbers, many of them having quit their plows for miles throughout the county to be present at the funeral. All during the forenoon hours as the body lay a corpse at the Milton home numJbers of men from the laboring districts of the town and the surrounding farm ing sections came, someof them with patched pantaloons and overalls, re questing to view the remains. Mr. Milton during his early life ac cumulated cjuite an estate, but this, of course, has been no doubt consider ably decreased on account of his nat ural inclination to help those in trou ble. There is no doubt but that he has bonded more men out of jail, en dorsed more notes of poor men than any man who has ever lived in the county in its past history. Mr. Mil ton was not only popular with the poor class, but numbered his friends among all classes in this county. Mr. Milton leaves surviving him a widow and nine children, these being: Henry Milton, of Monroe; Mrs. Dewey Rose of Salisbury; Mrs. Hugh Davis, of Winston-Salem; Mrs. Mar tinonio, of Chicago; Mrs. Lawson," of Wilmington, Walter, Clifton and Ce cil Milton of this place. CAMP FOR CHARLOTTE. The Queen City Gets the Army Camp That Was Set Down to Fayetteville Washington Offi cilas Authorize the Change on Gen- i xi7-jf i j4.:3 eari ty vhhi s jvtcummeiiuauuu. Washington, July 12. Secretary" Baker took final action in the matter of the transfer of the military camp from Fayetteville to Charlotte thi afternoon, giving formal approval to General Wood's recommendation for reasons already stated. The Charlotte Camp 'will get the fifth division, composed of Main, Masr sachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut troops, thirty thousand men in all. In addition, there will be an avia tion camp of 2,500 men and 1,200 aeroplanes. Twelve thousand horses is another item in the ' Charlotte camp. Conservative estimates place the monthly payroll at $1,225,000. The more enthusiastic say $1,500,000. Encampment affairs are now abour concluded. North Carolina troops will go to Greenville, along with those of South Carolina and Tennesse, constituting the ninth di vision. The tenth division, composed of Alabama, Georgia and Florida, will go to Macon. The sixteenth, Ohio, West Vir- ginia, Indiana and Kentucky, will go to Augusta. The eighth, New Jersey, Deleware, Maryland, District of Columbia and Virginia, goes to Spartanburg. The eighteenth, Arkansas, Louis ana and Missippi, goes to Montgomery. Revenue Officers Thurify made another big raid in Yadkin county, this time locating and destroying what they believe to have been the backbone of the illicit liquor making business in that section. The party was composed of Revenue Officers F. C. Talobrt and W. C. Lisk of Salis bury, Revenue Officer J. M. Newton of Thomasville, ex-,Sberiff Sprinkle of Davie and ex-chief of police B. F. Cauble of Salisbury. These men left Salisbury early Thursday morning, with the exception of ex-sheriff Srp.V kle, he joining the party at Mocks- ville. They then proceeded to a point in Yadkin county near Huntsville and four miles northwest of Courtney, in the same county. Beginning ti;e raid they soon locat ed a place where they found a 51 gal lon and a 30 gallon barrel, each con taining a quantity of liquor, also sev eral jugs of liquor and one 15 gollon keg of the same beverage. All of this was destroyed. The raid was then continued and at another point in that vicinity the offi cers came across a regular plant for the manufacture of stills and liquor making outfits. This was being con ducted in an old blacksmith shop. There was an abundance of scrap cop per and two complete outfits were found here also several partially com pleted. The two stills ready for set ting up and putting in operation were of 160 and 110 gallon capacity. Ev erything was on hand for turning out these plants and there was evidence that the "factory" had been doing a good business. In a Euilding close by was found a lot of fermenters and in the woods was discovered numerous holes and dugouts where whiskey and stills had been hid. All of these fer menters were destroyed and the holes and dugouts filled up. Before arriving at the still outfit "factory" the officers saw several peo ple taking to the woods but these were not taken. The "factory" out fit and stills were placed on an auto mobile truck and brought to Salis bury late Thursday and the load at- dfifcracted considerable attention as it passed through the streets. This paraphernalia was stored in the base ment of the Federal building and will be destroyed. In the talking of this plant for the making of stills the officers believe they have broken the backbone of il licit distilling in that section -of Yad kin county. The joy of a number of people in that section and along the route to Salisbury , was plainly evident by the applause greeting the officers by a number of women and children as they journeyed to Salisbury with the big stills and other appliances loaded on the truck. 1 The officers state that the block aders have no difficulty in disposing of their product, that the time has about passed when they have to .de liver it themselves. Parties patron izing these stills are so anxious to get hold of the liquor that they go after it in automobiles and other ve hicles themselves. There . is always a ready market for this blockade stuff, as. well as the stills and other articles to be used in its making. TO PAY .ALLEN $5,500.
