American Complacency
As Tragedv of War
-—
The fast moving American forces,
sweeping across Brittany today with
the great ports of St. Nazaire and
Brest as them next goals, are be
lieved to have opened the first
phase in an all-out battle for
France. Some observers, evaluating
yie recent successes, are now pre
dicting the disentegration of Ger
man power in France and a confused
retreat, However, it is pointed out
that the fight is not yet over, that
the whirlwind advance is not being
made without cost, the latest avail
able reports admitting that Ameri
can casualties totaled over 11,000 in
the week ending July 13, boosting
the casualty figure in the war to
date to 277,978——62,766 dead, >18,
950 wounded, 45.703 prisoners and
50,599 'missing.
Registering gains up to 30 miles in
a single day, American forces this
week took Rennes, great rail center
in Brittany, and are pushing on
toward Bhest and St. Nazaire. Sub
stantial gains were made in other
areas, one force expanding the cor
ridor through which the Brittany
invaders traveled. Enemy casual
ties in the fight there now exceed
75,000, late reports stating that 1,000
German soldiers, headed by their of
ficers and carrying white flags,
marched out of Rennes to voluntar
ily surrender. The prisoners, one
report stated, were tired and dis
gruntled.
Today, the American forces are
twenty miles south of Rennes and
the virtual occupation of all of Brit
tany is expected this week-end, a
late report intimated.
On the Eastern Front, the Russians
are pouring across the Vistula
River in a 20-mile sector and have
advanced almost twenty miles to a
point less than 100 miles from old
Germany. During the meantime,
the Russians have pushed to the
Gulf of Riga, isolating Estonia and
a large part of Latvia.
In Italy the resistance is easing,
the developments there indicating
that the Germans are finding Flor
ence untenable and are making
ready to move out.
In the Pacific, the Americans are
continuing their tasks begun some
days ago on Guam and Tinian Is
lands. Jap resistance has increased
on Guam, but the Americans gained
two more miles in recent fighting,
and over on Tl-rstari the job is about
complete. Over in New Guinea, the

Kiwanians Sponsor
Livestock Project
—<$>—
At its meeting last night the local
Kiwanis Club unanimously approv
ed a livestock project, on which will
be expended approximately $250.00,
each of its members to contribute
$5.00. The $250.00 will be used to es
tablish a loan fund from which
worthy youths of the county will be
given the privilege to borrow capital
to purchase and raise livestock. The
stock will be shown at the annual
livestock show which was sponsored
for the first time this year by the Ki
wanis Club and the other civic clubs
of the county.
It is believed that this project will
substantially stimulate the increas
ed production of livestock in the
county. Other counties havemdicat
ed then interest m an

erally recognized that this show has
great potentialities as an incentive

Man Loses Arm In
Car-Truck Accident
—t——
C. A. Caudell, operator of the
Caudell Trucking Company, Ral
eigh, had- his left arm torn off in a
car-truck accident just west of Ev
eretts this morning about 9.30 o’
clock. Given first aid treatment in
the Robersonville Clinic, Caudell
was later removed to a hospital.
Details of the accident could not
' not be had here immediately, but
one report stated that a colored boy
named Griffin, driving a ton and
one-half truck started to make a
sudden turn into John Griffin’s fill
ing stationg and that the Caudle
car plowed into it, ripping off the
left side of the car and injuring
Caudle.
Bruce Everett, Robersonville man,
driving behind the Caudell car, said
he had a -tlifficult time stopping
without plowing into the wreckage.
The cars were traveling east on
Highway 64. No estimate on the
property damage could be had im
mediately.
No Great Damage to Crops in
This County by Strong Winds
-- --
Tobacco and corn crops were
blown and battered a bit by strong
winds sweeping this section last
Tuesday night, but numerous re
port; maintain that no great damage
resulted. The storm, centering its
fury in the Wilmington area, caused
considerable damage to property
there and at Wrightsville and Caro
lina Beaches, some estimates ranging
as high as two million dollats. Sever
al counties reported heavy crop
damage as a result of the high winds
and hail and rain,
It was first thought that Hit crop
damage in this county would reach
a sizable figure, but many farmers
stated that they were straightening
up their tobacco, and in some cases
they were packing dirt to young
fields of corn. Some damage will re
sult to corn where it was blown ov
I er and the ears are left un the
ground.
j The crop situation, approaching
j critical stages at one time during the
i recent dry weather, has improved
! greatly in the county since the rains
in late July and tins week. Farmers
are more optimistic this week thar
at any time during the grow ing sea
son. They point out, however, tha1
the tobacco crop, as a whole, is
mighty late and that trouble can
develop before all of it is housed
Continued rains can fire it and Au
gust worms are to be expected, they
warn.
Tobacco harvesting is-"about as
late this year as il lias ever been
known, but the work is being in
creased fairly rapidly and is expected
to reach a peak within the next ten
days.

In County's Court
lYleriiiiiu-Sizod Omvil Vllnni
Sliorl Session of C.ourl
Monday Morning
Calling only three cases two of
them from Oak City proper, Judge
J. Calvin Smith held the county re
corder’s court in session hardly more
than an hour and one-half last Mon
day. Oak City was well represent
ed, but the crowd was only of
medium size.
Proceedings:
Allen Warren, reported to have
gone on a rampage in Oak City one
night last week, was booked for and
adjudged guilty of being drunk and
disorderly. He was fined $25 and
taxed with the court costs.
Claude Dorsley, charged with as
saulting Herbert Davis with a dead
ly weapon, pleaded not guilty He
was adjudged guilty and was sen
tenced to the roads for sixty days.
Judge Smith suspended the road
term upon the payment of a $20 fine
and the court costs. The suspension
was for one year, the court ordering
the defendant to be regularly em
ployed during that time.
Herbert Davis, charged with an
assault with a deadly weapon on
Claude Dorsley, entered a plea of
not guilty. lie was adjudged guilty
and was sentenced to the roads for
sixty days. The term was suspend
ed upon the payment of a $20 fine
and the couit costs. The defendant,
the court ruled, must be regularly
employed for one year ,the period
of the sentence suspension.
It was brought out that Worsley
and Davis were in a store in Oak
City and started an argument. Davis
maintained that Worsley started the
argument ,and Worsley maintained
that Davis started the argument.
While its origin could not be defi
nitely determined, there was good
leason to believe it was off to a good
start. Davis landed a telling blow
on Worsley’s head with a pop bot
tle, and Worsley opened with a pock
et knife, ripping a slight gash in
Davis’s arm.
Ivory Clark, charged with drunk
en driving, pleaded not guilty, but
his plea failed to hold and he was
fined $50 and taxed with the court
costs. His license to operate a motor
veh'cle was revoked for one year.
Williaiiistoii Youth
Woundedin France
—-t, -
Jerry Langley, young son ut Mi.
and Mrs. Carlyle Langley, was
wounded in France some time be
tween the latter part of June and
the middle of July, according to a
Street here Wednesday afternoon.
Very few details were offered, but
it was said that he was wounded in
his right arm, that he was flown out
of France to England where he is
now a patient in a hospital.
The letter is believed to have been
written by a Red Cross volunteer at
the direction of the young man. He
-dated that he was getting along all
light and asked his parents not to
worry about him.
Still in his teens, the young man
entered the service last October 28,
and was assigned to overseas duty
following about seventeen wqeks
training. In a letter written on June
25, he stated that he was in France.
Nothing more was heard from him
until the message, dated July 25,
reached here Wednesday.
The young man’s father is on the
Georgia market at the present time.

near Mitchell Field, New York, for
the present. He hopes to be able to
visit home soon.

his notice instructing him to report,
and he will be included in the next
call. Seventeen were ruled out on
account of physical disabilities.
It is estimated that there are

isn’t likely that more than one third
of the number will be called this

Few Farmers Plant
Excess Of Tobacco
A fairly complete report from the
of I let* of the county agent. states that
only thirty-four farmers in this
county had planted in excess of their
tobacco allotments. Most of them
were declared in excess following
spot checks. The excess ranged from
one-tenth to two acres. Many farm
els tailed lu pluiiT uTt ol then' a?:u;
Those farmers planting an excess
acreage will be required to pay a
penalty on the excess. It is possible
for them to get a white marketing
card by having a member of their
committee estimate the poundage and
paying the penalty on that basis sub
ject to imal settlement when ail the
.•rop is sold.
Twenty 'aimers in this county
have not yet reported their planted
icreage They are being asked to
lave a competent persor measure
he plantings and report at once. No
narketing card can be issued until
he measurements are submitted.
It was pointed out that in those
tases where an excess has been plant
id and the farmer operates more
han one farm, even if one farm is
in another county, he must have the
poundage estimated on all farms.

In Four Invasions
Without A Scratch
Writing to his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. W. T. Stinnette, here recently,
First Class Petty Officer William
Earl Stinnette stated that he had
been in four invasions and went
liroughout without a scratch. How
•ver, he said the old war is pretty
rough in the Southwest Pacific.
The young man had seen Jap
troops mowed down and Jup planes
shot out of tlie air. He lias witnessed
the capture of many Japs, offering
sights lie'll not forget in years to
come. He declared the Japs are get
ting to that point where they run,
and according to Stinnette, that’s a
good sign.
A pharmacist's mate, Stinnette said
tie isn’t worrying over anything be
cause he knows his people and
friends back home are praying for
him and the other boys.
