STRUGGLE IN FULL SWING "On our left wing the struggle is in full swing," an announcement in the official bulletin issued by the French war office, epitomizes the situation in the field of battle in northern France, for it is at this point that the real struggle J for supremacy is being fought out. The scene of this action in the ter ritory around Aaras, in the department of Pas de Calais, showing a decided movement by the allied army to the northward, as Aaras is about 20 miles north of Albert. There has been no decisive rejsult, up tfo the present, which in J the nature of the fighting going on would seem to indicate that the reinforcements of each side must have been about equal. It is believed that the British-Indian troops are on the line, and possibly some of the British territorials, and it is known the Germans have sent up heavy reinforcements from the center to aid the hard fighting soldiers on the right. Field Marshal French's men evi dently have been in close action again, for in the region of Soissons, on which rests I the t western end of the British line, some of the German trenches have been completed. Along the remainder of the front the army I has remained for the most part in' their trenches, while desultory firing continued with the big guns. The Belgians claim to have resisted the German attacks on the fortresses around Antwerp, although Berlin of ficially reports the destruction of sev eral of the forts, as well as making progress on the main front. In the battle of Augustowo, in Rus sian Poland, victory is ciaimea ior the Russian arms, ; the official com munication from Petrograd declaring the German defeat is complete. The Home Economic Department of the Goldsboro Woman's Club will hold its first meeting tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Club room. Ai members interested are cordially in vited to be present. J EVAN WILLIAMS NEXT FRIDAY In speaking of Evan Williams, who will appear in the Messenger Opera House next Friday night, October 9th, the St. Louis Times gives the fol lowing complimentary notice 'of his singing in that city: "The work of Evan Williams, the soloist, was received with marked fa vor by the audience. Mr. Williams is an Americanized Welshman, who lives in Akron, Ohio. He has a glorious lyric organ, which showed to advant age in the program he sang. The Prize Song' from Wagner's 'Die Meitersinger', which he sang with the orchestra, was characterized by lovely quality of tone, consummate taste and sound musicianship-. His thrilling half voice effects in the shimmreing 'Moonlight' of Cadmen were marvel ous, while in the stressful sonorities of the 'Wind and Lyre he rose : to dramatic intensity."

We took stock of our wearing ap parel yesterday and found out that our Massachusetts shoes were made of leather with cotton lining made in New England.- Our New York made suit wa3 half cotton, while nine other articles of our rig were all cotton. We had suspicions about our derby but close examination revealed that the material was cotton felt, while a cravat, which was bought for silk, turned out to be mercerized cotton. A look in the glass showed that tht reflection wa3 somewhat cotton-eyed and cotton headed, and only the wear er of the clothing was a complete Southern article garbed chiefly in nine all-cotton articles, every one of which wasn't made in the South. That in cluded a super-fine cotton handker chief. Everything was made up North. A final careful census of personal be longings disclosed Northern made keys, knife, eye glasses, cuff buttons, collar buttons and thirty cents turn ed out in a money factory in Philadel phia. We finish this upon Northern made , paper while a Northern-made typewriter and typesetting and print ing machinery dothe rest. It is astonishing how many things we don't make in the South. We fur nish the raw material at a certain low price and pay five times more for It, in addition to the freight, when our outfit is turned out in some factory away up North. At least all the cotton clothing worn in the South could be manufactured in the South. Wear j cotton. It will help the cot ton growing industry and keep North ern! cotton manufacturers busy. If we keep the mills up there busy we are; bound to sell them raw cotton. Nevertheless, we ought to manufac ture cotton goods for Southern use and at the same time go right on mak ing cotton goods for the Chinese. lTonld yon like a piano 1 Ever body says It is fine, and Wflllams Drug Store glres it away. A MOTHER III ISRAEL MRS. NANCY BRUNT ROSE FALLS ON SLEEP THIS MORNING. At her home in Grantham township, this morning at 5 o'clock, after months of . patient and prayerful waiting for the inevitable summons, the soul of Mrs. Nancy Brunt Rose, relict of the late Mr. Geo. P. Rose, who preceded her to the grave 23 years ago, went forth to God who gave it, and whom she had devoutly served through all her long life of seventy-nine years; and to- see whose face is now her joy forevermore. ; 'Mrs. Rose was the mother of our good friend and esteemed townsman Mr. W. P. Rose, the architect and builder, and in his irreparable be reavement and sorrow he has the ten der sympathy of his hosts of friends." Eleven children were born to her marriage and of these nine survive her, all grown; and though widely scattered they never got beyond the radius of her motherly solicitude, in which she ever manifested that sub lime attribute of motherhood, that age cannot dim a mother's love, nor can years of growth make us any the less her children. j j A loving wife, a devoted mother, an uncompromising friend, a generous neighbor, an exemplary member of the Disciples church, her long life was a benediction to the community in which she lived, and her memory will I be fondly cherished by all who knew her. . The funeral will be held from the old homestead tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 11 o'clock, and the inter ment will be made beside her late hus band in the old family graveyard, near by. . ) " MODERN HOME FOR RENT.

General Ven ustiano Carranza placed his resigna tion as first chief of the Constitution alists before delegates to the general conference of southern chiefs shortly before 8 o'clock tonight. From that time until a late hour to night the question whether the resig nation should be accepted was fiercely debated without any immediate pros pects of a vote. Orators opposed to the acceptance of General Carranza's withdrawal were repeatedly cheered by delegates and spectators. A motion was made that the .first' chief be informed that it would be impossible to accept his patriotic act of abrogation, but the hours passed without a vote being taken on the motion owing to the tur moil in the chamber.
