New Mark Set One thing stands out sharply, de spite the fact that the size of the task that has been accomplished is no; fully revealed as yet. This is that American enterprise has set a new record for the transportation of troop?. Considering the distance to be cov ered and the fact that all prepara tions had to be made after the. order came from the White House the night of May 18 it's practically certain that never before has a military expedi tion of this size been assembled, con- vevpd anH landed without mi shun in so .hnrfr a tima hv nnv nnfinn Tfio cnly rival m magnitude is the move- nient of British troops to South Af-j ca in me coer war, ana tnat was made over seas that were unhamper ed by submarines, mines or other ob stacles. The American forces will be fed, clothed, armed and equipped by the United States. Around them at the camp on French soil tonight are being stored supplies that will keep them eoing for months and mctae will fol low. 1 General Pershing and his staff have been busy for days preparing for the arrival of the men. Despite the en ermous difficulties of unpreparedness and submarine dangers that faced them, the plans of the army general stafT have gone through with clock like precision. Were on Mexican Border "hen the order came to prepare immediately an expeditionary force to go to France, virtually all of the men now across the seas were on the Mexican border. General Persh jng himself was at his headquarters 'n San Antonio. There were no army transports available in the Atlantic, 'he vessels that carried the troops were scattered on their usual routes. Army reserve stores were still de ll'tI from the border mobilization, regiments were below war strength.

Fallis this morning to the board of trade that work has begun on con structing the camps for housing the state convicts who are to be sent soon for the re-oper.ing of the Hickory Nut Gap road. Mr. Fallis spent Saturday in the gorge looking over the situation and selected a camp site one mile above Bat Cave, so that the convicts will not have to walk too far in either di rection as the road is being complet ed. Mr. Fallis stated that he will have a truck and other improved road equip ment for this camp, which will great ly incease the efficiency of the men on this work. He also stated that there were certain necessary expend itures that would be required for the opening up of this road not provided for otherwise which would entail the expenditure of about $3,000, but he felt sure that this amount would be taken care of by this section.

Carter of El Dorade, Kan., Who has jujst returned from Berlin. She stopped in Chicago yes terday to visit friends.

"Miss Carter, who went to Berlin in l!H4, and shortly after entered the I.eipsic Conservatory of Music, then told of conditions irt Germany. "In Berlin today there is no food without a schine, or magistrate's card," she said. "With vour schine you establish relations at one store. You register there and cannot pat ronize any other store. "When I left Berlin the allowances were; Butter, one-eighth pound per week; sugar, one-half pound each fir teen days; one egg a month; potatoes three pounds a week; tea (made from leaves of linden (tree).one one-eighth pound package a week; no coffee, ex cept a ghastly substitute known . as 'arzerto'; two pounds of bread per week.

No one is permitted to buy clothing, even with a schine, unless one turns in the old outfit. "Taxicabs are permitted only to and from railroad stations. Pleasure travel is restricted. "On the other hand, the theaters run full blast. You may spend, your money freely there. It does not cut into the natural resources, and it helps elevate the morale."

A wave of saddness swept over up per Cleveland Tuesday morning fol bwirfg the announcement of the death of Noah E. Boggs a very pro minent citizen of upper Cleveland county. His earthly life stretched through a period of seventy-eight long years he having been born A. I)., 1839. On Nov. 20, 8fif) he was married to Miss Sarah C. Wilson also of Cleve land county and thus for nearly fif ty , one years they walked lovingly life's road together. Perhaps two lives were never more literally blend ed together than these. The joys and the sorrows of the one were the joys and sorrows of the other. To them were born eight children, four boys and as many daughters. One of the sons died early in life and one daughter, Mrs. William Chowder, passed from this life some years ago. The remaining six are: A. Nixon Boggs of Iredell county; J. P.; and A. Max Boggs; Mrs. J. I). Boyles; Mrs. A. E. Saine, all of Cleveland county. ; When Brother Boggs was a young man of twenty-two years he enter ed the Confederate army in Company D., 1st N. C. Reg., and for four long and trying years he served as faith fully as he loved the country which gave him birth. One evidence of this is to be drawn from the fact that from the beginning to the end of that terrible struggle he never once had a furlough. Only the few, we sup pose, can say as much. As a citizen, he was sturdy and true, always standing four square on all questions which had as their pur pose the moral and civic betterment of his county and State. As a neigh bor, he was thoughtful, kind and un selfish, at all times manifesting plea sure in accommodating any and alt 'when such lay within his power. As husband and father, he was devoted and kind, willing to suffer and deny himself if his loved ones might be helped by the process. In the early years of his manhood he professed religion and joined that branch of the Christian church known as the Associate Reformed Presbyterian and remained a member of that communion until he joined the Methodist church ,at St. Peters on what is now the Belwood charge. I am sure of the endorsement of ev ery member of that body when I say they never had a more loyal, devoted member. When his health would ad mit he was always in his pew at church, and in the financing of the church he might be depended upon to generously do his part. He loved his preachers and would have a kind word for each pf them. His affliction was long and trying but he endured it with a degree of courage and fortitude that was in deed beautiful and inspiring. To him death had no terrors. He spoke of it as cooly and calmly as one who is about to make a pleasure trip or pro fitable journey. More than once has his face shown evidence of inward triumph as he lay on his back In great pain and talk of his faith in a glorious future. I have heard him say, "There is nothing in the way-, I am just waiting God's own good time." We have no doubt as to where he has gone. God help us to follow on in that way! The funeral services were conduct ed by his pastor, assisted by Revs. L. E.Stacy and H.G. Stamey from Knob Creek church and his body rests in the cemetery there to await the call of the just. May God bless the sor rowing ones and give to his sons and daughters a double portion of that Spirit that made his life so useful and beautiful. . J. F. MOSER.
