It wishes that domestic coal be laid in, thereby leaving the railroads and .coal mines free to send ooal to the industries as these expand. The increasing number, of American sol diers in France demands the use of a greater number of cars and the gov ernment makes the test of patriotism popular willingness to help in this way. . ; The following resolution was recent ly adopted oy tne national council of defense and sent to all state councils to be set before their people: The council of national defense and the advisory commission of the coun cil believe that a concerted effort for economy by the people of the nation will not only go far toward navln? America's expense in the war,, but will also reduce consumption of raw and manufactured materials essential to the conduct of the war. The council UTges all to refrain from unnecessary exnendltures of every kind, and to bear constantly in mind that only one thing is now of real importance, and that is the win ning of the war. The nation's ; resources Jn man power, money, transportation, food stuffs, raw materials and fuel, have al ready been subjected , to heavy strain, and it is the clear duty of every citi zen to guard against increasing thi3 strain by a single wasteful act. It is most creditable for everyone man and woman, boy and girl to be economical in dress, fod and manner of living. Every evidence of helpful self-denial, on the part of all in a time like this is most commendable. This war is more than a conflict be tween armies; it is a contest in" which every man, woman and child can and controlled shoud render real assistance. Thrift auu ewxiumy are not oniy a patriotic privilege; they are a duty. FLOCK OF UK IS BY ABERNETHY HID The Strong Withstand the Heat of. Summer Better Than the Weak.

The friends of Sheriff Joe Sears, lately declared winner over Bryant Harrison by seven -votes,, do not hesitate to confess their disap pointment that ; Mr. Harrison with draws from a possible contest and stakes the Sears people rather than igt longer in the courts. Tiir the black folk were against Sears. They talked against him arid rated against him when J. W. Bailey s back was - turned; t-They- weTe chal lenged in droves and came back in singletons to vote. More than 100 of them stood to change the tide. They slmost did It, for Sheriff Sears had but one or two black voters who al ways are with him. The colored peo ple were not democrats; they were interested in beating Sheriff Sears and in voting against Judge W. C. Harris. Had Mr. Harrisson contested, the most illuminating racial conditions would have been disclosed, so the leaders say. It Is the kind that brought out pokeberry in the days -of Josephus Daniels, editor. The 13 deserters of Mitchell coun ty. for whom the state and federal ofiicers have been working, have sur rendered, according to dispatches re ceived from' Mitchell by Major John D. Langston. . Representative J.- C. McBee, an ex ceedingly patriotic and broad-minded republican from Mitchell, was in charge of this reclamation and as an old American soldier, though still in his forties or younger, he knew hpw o go after them. The men have keen turned over to the author'ties in Spartanburg. Just what sort of deser tion is alleged, is not told in the dis ratches, but most of them had failed to report after the draft and threats against the crops, the household and me life of Mr. McBee were reported tare.

" The gov LZ 18 demanding that as much Fight of Person For Calvert's Ermine May Continue Some Time (Special to The Dispatch.) Raleigh, June 11. oFrmer Solicitor Charles L. Abernethy has been In Ral eigh several days preparing his con test against Marshal W. T. Dortch, who defeated Mr. Abernethy in the June 1 primary for congressman from the third district. Mr. Abernethy has retained quit few lawyers, among them ez-Congresft.- man Charles R. Thomas, who sup ported Mr. Abernethy heartily and did much to save the adopted county from the wrpck. Judge J. C. Rlggs, of Ral eigh, is also one of Mr. Abernethy's lawyers. Marshal Dortch has not in dicated when he will bring up his re serves. The case will be heard this week. D. Bryant Harrison, candidate for sheriff in Wake county, gives up the fight, rebukes the successful opposi tion and announces that he will not make a fight in the courts. Mr. Harrison does not think that is the place for democrats to fight The primary is the battleground. Mr Harrison insists that he and Sheriff Sears received the same number of votes and that it was a tie that should have been settled in popular way again. Sheriff 8ears gets the office again' by seven votes, This . was one of the typical Jones and. Bailey fights which Bailey won, For many years Sears was a great Jones man and Bailey has seen half a dozen Bailey men go down before him More recently the Jones men deter mined to elect another sheriff. They picked a rich farmer whq could put up all that was necessary. Mr. Har rison ran amazingly well against an old Jones man, who relied this time on Bailey people largely, but he was himself the biggest asset the Bailey men could get their hands ,6n.

Senator Person saw a home pressure that will be brought against him. He does not care for glorious opportunity to get even with Governor Bicket for forgetting the rotund statesman of Franklin. Yet Calvert, the Judge who would not re member that running for judge is se rious political business, sat on the bench and left to his friends the duty of telling the people about him. And against the field of four,' all popular men, he led all by majorities ranging frctm 500 up. This political phenomenon is laid to the purifying war. People are thinking seriously, the aged are say ing. It is more likely that other ele ments are entering into it. Calvert belonged' to no faction and had the British bull-dogness and Imllheaddead- i". ness to say-so. It was the only thing that. he said for himself during the ,v, whole campaign. And he gets his re-. ward. Senator Person will give notice of , purposes soon.. It is believed that ha will decline to run. The funeral of Mrs. L. L.

He does not even mean to serve long. v Tnat much is gatnered from men who know all about it. Senator Per son is an awfully funny man and has more laughs at life than anybody. He sought the Judgeship by appointment and Governor Bickett looked over him toward Calvert. Senator Person would have delighted to get back at the governor and did come near it. But at that he let Calvert get half as many votes in Franklin as Senator Person did, so that Governor Bickett does not get the showing up hxpected. It has been observable in, recent campaigns that gubernatorial Judges do not - stand up well In primaries. Governor Kitchin appointed Judge D. L. Ward and along came Harry Whed- bee ousting Ward. There was the first show of strength between Kitchln and Simmons. Then Kitchln appointed Judge J. S. Manning over Judge W. H. Allen and in a few weeks the sec ond test had been made, Kitchin's man losing again. Both Glenn and .Aycock were rebuked by the people when they made appointments and soon it became a. dangerous thing for a judicial aspirant to have an appoint- Soldiers and Sliiors 6ef cmforl That makes them lit for the hard work fa ecotp and trenches, at Ma or cm marches, by fia Allen's Foot-Ease, the antiseptic ttmtor to shake Into the shoes.
