The 1600 millions of earth's humanity and the Germans are asking this all important question and none dare rise up to answer except some su perstitious persons who see intelli gence in the spinning of the spider. But opinion is fast crystallizing that hostilities are not much longer to continue. Capt H. M. Laurene. the Frenchman who spent several days here, reasons this way: The German soldiers are poorly fed and clothed and the flower of the Ger man army is dead; The flower ol the French army is dead; but the great invincible United States has on the grounds the best fighters in the world and together with her al lies are in major numbers: the A' merican soldiers are the best fed best clothed and best paid soldiers in the world and her allies are en joying the same bodily comforts: In the allies will be able to fight this winter and Germany will not; There fore, the Frenchman concludes that with the advantage so obviously on the side of the allies hostilities will possibly come to an end by January next. But, says the Frenchman, this is only my opinion. He believes that when the German army is push ed back to the Rhyne that it will surrender unconditionally and look to America for mercy. But, says the Frenchman.that is only my opinion. The Herald finds that many good thinkers believe with the Frenhman, The Fourth Liberty Loan drive is rapidly approaching. It starts Sat urday of next week. The question has arisen, who will buy these bondsT As all well know, the big corporations have been buying the bulk of all previous issues of bonds. They were making the money and were willing to lend it to the gov eminent. They are still making barrels of money, but, the law mak ers are about to assess all these ex cess profits and inflated incomes as direct tax. The corporations are about to face a situation where they are not able to buy so ' heavily of the bonds. The day laborer cannot buy them. Increased coat of living has gone along with increased pay except in few cases. The next alter native is the farmer,' the man who is now reaping the greatest harvest of war profits of any man alive. Cotton at 34 and 35 cents and wheat above two dollars and the nation loaded down with a great crop puts the farmer in a class to himself with full barns and full purse. The farmer, therefore, will be expected to buy heavily of the Fourth Lib erty Loan bonds. Every business man recognizes liberty bonds as the best investment on the market and one just as safe as the Govern ment and one which makes the government itself safer for itself and for us all. As the time draws nigh when trains will be operating into and out of Kings Mountain on two tracks instead of one as usual it might be opportune to call the attention of the public to the added care that must be taken when boarding or leaving trains and in movirig around the depot about tram time. Under the old regime you could step off train and be out of the way but when there are trains on two par allel adjacent tracks at the same time and both liable to move any moment there is danger of step ping off one train right in front of another. Not only has the Herald seen this danger but a leading cit izen and a member of the city coun cil has called attention to it and suggested this word of warning. We are commanded to watch as well as pray. piayer. But God Vooweth what is heat aod dpth all things well and Who a lad said anffer the lit tle chldren to come onto me and fortid than not, had something far" better in V tore for him. So sending His Angels, while the early dew of youth was atill on this choice bud, transplanted it from this world of palu and sor row to the plain of joy and peace. .We cannot understand God'a ' providential dealings. Jesus said to his disci plea, "What I do thou koowest not now; bat thou sh&it know hereafter." God knows the way, He holds the key, He guides us with unerring handa; Sometime with tearless eyes we'll see; Yes, there, up there, we'll nn dorstand. Then trust in God thro' all thy days; Fear not for He doth hold .thy band; Tho' dark thy way, still sing and praise; Sometime, Sometime we'll un derstand. J. E. Derryhill. It certainly is gratifying to see ... .1 i a. .u. v:. rnntain Herald. Since the govern- t is about to get in between the pa, 'and some of its readers it is W to the editor to see how . thty ne in and pay up. The In remitting for his subscription Saturday one good level headed mature man said that the article last week about the French Captain was worth the price of the pap for a year. The Fourth Liberty Loan drive starts Sept 28th. Next week a num ber of the business men and cor porations of the town will present to the readers of the Herald the great common cause of the nation through the columns of the Herald. Look out for it Tho East Kings Mountain graded school opened Monday with bright prospects. There were 182 children present to take up their school work.

John Arthur, the two year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hay of Kings Mountain, N. C, after an illness of two week fell on sleep in the early morn of July 31st, 1918, John was a very ac- tractive child and gave signs of noted mentality. Oftimes his par ents expressed the hope that God would be pleased to call him into the Gospel ministry- This was also the baptismal ary Forces in France, tad Cash Roberts of Kuoxvllle, Tenn., a son by his first wife.

This is a flourishing and deserving insti tution. The series of m eatings closed at Grace ch urch Sunday night with most encouraging results. Under the strong preaching of Rev. J. L. Chaney many souls were called to repentance. More than a hundred persons profess ed faith in Christ and 30 joined the church Sunday. This makes a total of 70 accessions to Grace church during the last thirty days, with others to join next Sunday. During thfs meeting the congregations were larger than ever before It is said that one of the leading mon of East Kings Mountain came onton the Lord's side. Grace church is al waya doing something to bo proud ot and something that might serve an a rebuku to some who are not quite so active. Kev. B, A. Culp is a live wire pastor and he keeps religion at fever heat in his congregation all the time. Added to that Rev. Mr. Chaney is one of the old boys and u.ied to be supcrintei djit of tho Sunday xchool i.nd teach er of a Bible clats ami wash nown and read of all as one vho stood four square for truth and right- eoiMnni".

A big effort is being made bv the Me thodist conference to have Mr. Uu!p go to another field next year but his official board has said that ho shall not pass if they can kepp him and they em phasizo th.it statement by offer ing to add $250 to his salary. Culp has built up Gra.-.e church during hl eight years pastor ate from a Liero handful in a di lapidated building to a routing wide, awake congregation housed in a spurious up to data house it worship. Not ouly the mem bers of Grace cburch want him to stay but all the people who know him would be loathe to see him removed to another field. FOR SALE Hairy Vetch seed. J.
