Thus it will be seen tliat the Ger
man right wing had advanced
farther ttrathward than Paris
and had begun a movement that
liad it been carried to it's com
pletion would have meant the
envelopment of the French Cap
ital by German forties. But ap
jarently the southward advance
of the German forces was too
rapid. Tlie extreme right;
which covered tlie southern ad
vance and held a position to the

position of disadvantage by the
too rapid southward progress
of tie right center. The French
were quick ro take advantage of
this situation and attacked
tflie extreme right both in front
and on tlie flank forcing it to
give back.
.Almost simultaineously tlie
English who had been moved
from the extreme left of the Al

attacked that portion which had
advanced to Coulomieres and

E. F. Aydlett Says Pasquo
tank Farmers Can Have
Place to Store Cotton il
They Want it
- ' '..J-i?f5
A question that bas bean dii
turbiug a good many people in
this county has been '"What is
the Pasquotank farmer going to
do with his cotton?"
News of the cotton warehouses
in other eetious of the south
have ireaehed Elisabeth City but
inasmuch sm cotton here is not
grown as extensively a it is fUT
tJier south it was felt that
the erection of a warehouse hew
would hardly pay. That diffi
culty waw mentioned to E. F.
Aydlett who at once suggested
a solution. "I've got ware
houses ou Water Stireet; ''he
raid. "lse them. There will
not be any rent to pay."
It is probable then that farm
ers iiii this and adjacent counties1
who want to hold their cotton
will be able to do n. A move
ment p on foot to gtt the local ,
banks to loan money on cotton
waiehoie receipts aud it is be
lieved that the nectssary ar
rungementki will be made.
