A. The prophet who predict. i pro tnrtW ttnalt avidewd' vr eew tespktd that the breakiaat (ood mskas would aaderuke 10 Wp the tivtapeaa war o&ciiim solve thar iwaiMry prohfcss. There rs some things which are a great deal more deadly bullets. The Waco News tells u that a . eouaia of Ccaeral Joflrt, the French CMnnander-ia-Chicf, is a properous fanner of Da. Us county. As yet it is a little to early to venture as opin ion ai to whether or not the now genera would not have done better to have gone, when a boy, to Texas and taken up the pursuit of jgncul traej Hudson Maxiin is of the opinion that Great Britain, France and Ger many will each and all need every particle of strength left to them after the war now raging is over U "per suade the Kusaian horde to return to its northern isolation." In this view he is not altogether alone. We shall see what we shall see. The most notable feature of the conference of cotton manufactures, farmers and bysiness men in Raleigh Tuesday was the spirit of optimism that prevaded the meeting. Farmers were told not to get excited, that cot ton would be taken care of. We are profiting now by experience of the past, and we fully believe that the day can be saved for the farmers of the South, despite the war, if manu facturers, bankers and farmers will co-operate. Already the United States government through Secretary M Adoo, has put itself on the side of the farmers by agreeing to issue enough curency to take care of the crop, pro visaed at least half of the cotton is stored. Clouds are arising on the Cliiiu horizon, and it begins to appear, as was predicted when Japan entered the fray, that the neutrality of China would not be respected. But then President Wilson will, no doubt, ap ply his new rule of "watchful wait ing" should it be necessary for this country to enter any formal protest at the violation of treaties respecting Chinese territoryy. Notwithstanding the war in Eorope ths Wilson administration is going steadily ahead with its program ol legislation for the benefit of the masses of the American people. Even a war involving half the world doea not de ter Democracy in the fulfillment of its promises to the people. Another splendid piece of legislative work was completed by the Senate Wednesday when the Clayton anti-trust bill was passed by an overwhelming majority. The bill provides fines and imprison ment for officers of corporations con victed of offenses against the trus laws; prohibits exclusive and tying contracts which restrict indeependence of pur chasers, prohibits holding companies where their effect is to lessen com petition or create monopoly and makes illegal two years after the passage of the act interlocking directorates in competing corporations any one of which has capital of more than $1,000 000. It also forbids the interlocking of railroads directors with corpora tions dealing in securities, railroad supplies or contracts and liberalizes procedure in injunction and contempt caseaV" JUS'TX LITTLE SCRAP OF PAPER. There was much aegollating before the whole of Europe became a slaughter house with the best MURDERER the est MAN. It is said that one of the fighting ations, referring to an appeal that treaties and neutrality be respected, said of the treaty, "It's just a scrap of paper." Such scraps of paper are ofta torn up is war times. But the ancient Jewish ides that written paper must not be destroyed sad the ancient Chinese respect for the written word are not entirely Out f date. Scrap of paper are important in ths long run. Sometimes from their ashes there rises trouble tittle dreamed of by those that despised the. light, rumpled, written sheet. Magna-Charta, ths basis ol ,the freedom that English got from their King, was and is only a scrap of paper. From time to time powerful men have thought of it, and spoken of it as s mere scrap of paper. But it has sur vived and outlived those that des pised it. ' ' Our own Declaration of Indepen dence was only a scrap of paper (er the pld and young gentlemen at Phila delphia had signed it and pledged their acred hoaqr to uphold it, ... - -,.,.. . . If you had , asked , England about that scrap of paper you would have heard that King George thought Very tittle of it-sad expected Jo crumble ft. , It dkl leem, to be crumpled for, a t(m, with, Washington losing ffrtty battle, one after the, other. . r But although, trampled up. it" wai smoothed ufgsl.

THERE. OF According to information contained in a. letter received by Mrs. Richard N. Duffy of this city from her mother, Mrs. Alice Chapman of Kaoxville, Tenn. who for more than a year has been stay ing in Pari with her daughter. Miss Margaret Chapman, German spies are to be found on every hand in the French capital and many of then have been killed. Mrs. Chapman was stopping at the Majestic Hotel and the proprie tor of that establishment had been sus pected of being a spy and was prompt ly shot. Mrs. Chapman sa that a complete transformation has taken place in France'duiing the past three weeks. Formerly the citizens were gay and happy but now the scene has been changed and only sorrow and mourning is found on every hand. I he last letter received by Mrs. Duffy was written on August 11 and reached New Bern on Soetember i. In this ttu writer says that thousands of persons, particularly the Americans arc getting out of the city as rapidly as possible, It is necessary for each person to sc cure credetials from the American con- sul and the embassy is never closed ! In describing the scenes around that point she states that many men and women stand in line tor twenty-four hours in order to obtain the scrap ol paper necessurv to t.iir them sale ly through the lines. In referring to the Germans, Mrs. Chapman saxs thai they are brutal lot and th.it the an detested not only li the French but by the Americans in France. T.ifv of their atr.uitisi had readied Pari-, at the time of the writing ol the letter and these gave graphic descriptions ol their raages. Mrs. Chapman states that the majority of the shops and ho tela have been closed and that many of these have been turned into hospitals. Thirty, six thousand beds hae been prepared lor the wounded and t lie women have been given instructions in nursing. At fie time ol tne writing of this letter conditions in Paris were not so bad and Mrs. Chapman had no intention of leaving .it that time , how ever, since affairs have taken a turn for the worse there is a probability that she has gone over to I'ngland for safet v. SHORT SEASION. Only One Case in Police Yesterday. Court Another one-case docket was dis posed of at Police Court yesterday afternoon. William Chapman was tax ed with the cost for depositing a lo on the street. Chapman went to the express office to get a package of whiskey that he had ordered, carrying with him a suit case which he put the spirits in and threew the cartoon on the street. It happened that an officer was near and saw him when he committed the othence and he was at once summoned to make his appearance before the mayor. SUCCESSFUL PICNIC. Was Held Yesterday at Chauta uqua prings. Fifteen hundred persons attended the picnic given yesterday at Chautau qua Springs by the Disciple Sunday School of Kit Swanmp. Early in the day the merrymakers began to arrives on the grounds and by noon one of the largest crowds ever seen in that section was on hand. After a sumptous dinner had been served a baseball team from Oriental and oen from Blount's Creek played an interesting game. In this the former was victorious by a score of 6 to TOBACCO AT FAYETTEVILLE Sixty Thousand Pounds Sold There Yesterday at Good Prices. FAYETTEVILLE, N. C, Sept. 4 Carrying a front page story of the opening here to-day of the Planters' Tobacco Warehouse, the Observer this afternoon says that 60,000 pounds were sold at an average price of 1 2 rents per pound. Some of the weed brought as high as 45 cents per pound. Fully 1,000 people are said to have visited the warehouse during the day and the scene caused a thrill in the heart of every loyal citizen, as from these sales results are expected that wi'l be a tremendous benefit to Fayetteville. Every pound of tobacco on the floor was sold and not a ticket was urned, everybody being satisfied at the price and the treatment received from the warehouse proprietors. The tobacco sod was of good quality and well cured. Near y all of it was grown in Cumber and county. The aa e put about $7,500 in circu ation here and ia spite of the uncer tainly of cotton and the European war, it looks like good times. ZAR HONOR GENE RAL FOR PRUSSIAN DASH. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 4.

Tolstois ProphccylTfi i rcqrfj m Seems To Be Fullilled PROMISED AN ARMAGEDDON AND HIS DREAMS ARE COMING TRI E. WASHINGTON', Sept. 4 It a Tolstoi who premised the Armaged don, but in 19U instead of lu14, and that out ol it would come a man from the north, little known, wha as a news paper man, journalist and statesman would be the great central, dominating figure until 1925 when condition- would sweep him off the won Is stage and in the place of monarchies, prin cipalities and powers would rise re publics to welcome the birth of tin rwenty-first century. And who i-. this man that Tolstoi forei asts in tin now famous prophecy which the great teacher wrote for Czar Nicholas more than five years ago? Aibert of Belgium seems at thi moment to fit into the prophecy liki a glove upon a lady's hand, (or Albert was not born to the expectation ol Kingship, he just "growed" into hi present plans of the King ol the Hel gians and a mighiv good King he i- too. Albeit was bom in 1S75 and wa tt ell educated. He is a good engineer an efficient amateur aviator, wriu excellently and has been a corkiiu good newspaper reportel in both Bills sels and Antwerp.

Then he came to rule over the H ' gians, and now he qualifies a- 1 ol litis -inking figure in this awlul w ai I the nations.

Thirt thousand en, loyOM of om hind, and a nother will In furougluV on October 1, il the River and Harbor appropriation bill f .tils to pass by that date. That is the toll the govern ment exacts from those who havi nothing to say as to the merits or de merits of a bill, which has the unquali fied endorsement of the Corps of l'.n gineers of the U. S. Army, ninety nine per cent of the items in the bill having been passed upon origin, dlv bv this same efficient body of men who know no politic?, no favoriiisn. only duty to the rounlrv , the llag hi the Corps to which they belong. Senator Simmons, of North Caro !ina, who is in charge of the River and Harbor bill in the Senate, has announced publicly that the bill will pass by October first, notwithstandin the obstructive tactics of Senator Uur ton, ol Ohio, aided and abetted bv several other legislators Irom West err States. Peace Where Art Thou? "Peace, peace ami there is no peace!' On a balmy day in April of last yeai Congressman Richard Marlholdt, ol St. Louis, the most outspoken advo cate of peace in either house of Con gress, planted an oak tree along oik f the sheltered pathways betweci he Capitol and the House Office build ing and dedicated it to the Hague tri bunal and to world peace. I The tree grew apace, spreading its branches around and seeming to sing bosannas to the Statue that caps the capitol, looking for ever toward thi east. lately, however, the leaves of this sturdy young oak have begun to turn yellow and scr.', the branches have commenced to droop and now onlv one of its lithe young arms remaii green. The tree is dving as the war rages, and there is no peace An Unprecedented Summer. Washington has had an unpreced ented s'iniiiier in the matter of social atmosphere Nui that social affairs have continued with any for mality, but those who constitute official so ciety have re l.ained valiantly at their posts, in spite of heat and every al luring inlluenre of seaside and moun tain. This has made dinner parties, tea parties, luncheons and bridg parties possible. The argument is strong enough that, if one must dine, why dine alone? National legislation was responsible during the early sun ner for the detaining ol Congress, now internal icnal calamities continue the delay. When Congiess is detained here the diplomats for the most pari leel obliged to remain. The .norr urgent and complicated conditions ol the present have made it still mori imperative for the representatives of foreign countries, European and other wise, to remain or return to town a short intervals. Therefore, the res. dence districts are not du'l, silent and deserted spots they usually are in sum mer, and the country clubs do a rush ing business at the tea and dinne hours. The war conditions are detailing n town not only the diplomats, but the the higher officers of the army and navy, A bed on the roof garden of the Army and Navy Club would make one think it was mid-season in Washington except for the weather, The Chevy Chase Club is much the same, and almost every night Ad mirals of the Navy, Generals of ,th Army, Senators and other offkia may be found in group -with the fee Am baasadora, many ministers and retarie of embassiei and legations, engagedwith h ia war.
