Raleigh,. Oct. 25. Influenza made
is appearance yesterday In the Stone

cated near Concord, 'and the Institu
tion at once sent the S. O. Sfl call to
the State Board of Health. There
are between one and two 'hundred
boys in this school, sent there to be
morally straightened out and trained
and the call is for both doctors and
nurses.
Another call yesterday was from
Haw River, where there are cotton
mills ,and a third was from a mill
section in Richmond county, near
Rockingham. Doctors nor nurses
were available for special duty but
the State health officer pungently
urged the organization of local com
mittees to take the situation in
hand.
From all indications now the
State Board of Health will have no
occasion to use the 25,000 offered it
to fight the epidemic by Mr. FInley
L. Williamson of Burlington. An
appropriation made by the General
Assembly about ten years ago to be
employed for emergency health
work is being touched, for the first
time now and will, in all probability,
meet the needs of the department.

"The reply has moved the problem
from the domain of controversy to
the domain of facts. The President
attaches such importance to the es

make it impossible for Germany te
resume the war that he expresses it
three times."
"Now the allied governments in
Europe must consult with one an

position is simple. They have not
taken part in the elaboration of the
programs which President Wilson
has developed as regards fut "
peace nor in the exchange of noi

can, then, be no question of jfltaemse-

the past thirty odd years, eighteen
of which I have been their servant
in the Senate of the United States
and several years of which I devoted
to the great fight to establish good
government in North Carolina, I
have come to know them fairly well,
and I think they also know me. I
am willing, without the slightest
misgivings, to trust the fate of my
candidacy in their hands and to
abide whatever verdict they may
render upon my record and my ser
vice whatever they have been.
"My first concern as to the elec
tion n North Carolina Is not person
al is not partisan in the ordinary
acceptation of that term it is,
speaking broadly, that such a result
may be shown as will leave no
doubt anywhere that the people of
North Carolina are standing loyally
and enthUBiastlcaly by the President
and the government in the present
great national and world crisis. To
runctions is doing. Therefore, this
year, ot all years in our history, no
patriotic citizen should be indiffer
ent to the results of the election or
unmindful of hlB duty with repsect
thereto. This duty is not political
but patriotic; not to a candidate but
to a cause; not to country and State,
but to country and those who are
defending cause and country regard
less of costs or sacrifice.
"Sometimes when I am weary and
worn ana Inspiration from the
thought that perchance some of the
things I am doing may in some wa
be helpful to those 'over there.' If
the voter when he comes on election
day to discharge his duty as an elec
tor shall guide his action by what
(with the light before him) he
thinks will best help them and the
cause for which they stand and are
risking their all, he will have dis
charged one ot thehighest duties of
the hour."
