Brussels, Aug. 9.?Belgian official reports, received by the War Office, record the important fact that a junction has been effected by Belgians, British and French troops across the line of the German advance i through Belgium. The location of the three armies was not re- ' vealed but it is understood they i will act together. At Liege, where the Belgian garrison has presented a stubborn front to the German attackers, fighting has ceased since early yesterday morning and the Belgian troops and citizens have strengthened the city's defenses. Between the forts lines of earthworks have been thrown up by men who have worked without cessation night and day. Reports reached here by way of London that according to announcements in Berlin, Liege had fallen into the hands of German troops. The sighting of a German cavaliy patrol to the South of Namur today is evidence of the German forces in Luxemburg, showing they were reconnoitering to discover the position of the defending armies. The retire1 iiicin ui oerrnan iroops out ot range of the guns of the forts of Liege was supposed to indicate they were concentrating and waiting for reinforcements to renew the attack. In the meantime French troops who have crossed the frontier of Belgium continue to advance methodically and their approach strengthens the position of the Belgian army. When a French officer arrived at Namur in an automobile today citizens hoisted him on their shoulders and carried him through the streets. Paris, Aug 9.?A great battle has been lought for the control of Muelhausen, a town of 95,000 inhabitants in South Alsnm. nn<l won by France. Statements are published with reserve that the Germans lost 30,000 men and the French 15,000. Tha entry of the French into Alsace was an historic event. On Friday at midnight the French advance guard brigade arrived at Altkirch, a town defended by strong field works and occupied by a German brigade. The British Admiralty announces that German submarines 1 i _ n-!.1 i auiicKuu vi nriusn cruiser squadron but that the British ships escaped undamaged while one German sudmanne was sunk.

Charlotte Observer It must be borne in mind that the predicament of Germany was not the work of the people. That country was plunged into war on the orders of the Emperor. The Germans are among the best people in the world. They have led all countries, including the United States, in educational advancements, in agriculture, in good roads, in fine manufactures and in domestic government. But in the matter of going to war or staying z\..? ^C '. . 1 ? - A J' vjui *_?i it, me people are ar me whim of their ruler. And in the present instance, this ruler saw his country being surrounded on all sides by enemies, and he considered that he and his people could not sit still and see prep^rtions going on in Russia jo destroy her. The situation, however, emphasizes the difference between the government of tie people orrae \J n?tect otaifer the people of the Monarchies and Empires. In the reconstruction and rehabilitation of these continental countries may come a condition in which the people of Europe, like those of the United States, mav have a vniee in the declaration of war. Baucom-Collins Waxhaw Enterprise A ripple of excitement was caused in town Monday when Mr. John Collins received a telegram from his father, Mr. W. H. Collins, dated at Wilmington, conveying the news that he had just been married in that city. No one knew for certain the name of the happy bride, but it later developed that she was Miss Delia Baucom of Lanes Creek township. Mr. Collins is a well known business man of this place, being a member of the Sikes-Collins Company, conducting an un to .Int** livpn; nnd live stock business. He is an ail around good fellow and his many friends here will rejoice at his good fortune. Mrs. Collins is a daughter of Mr. H. M. Bau com and is a lady of many accomplishments, having taught school for several years. They are expected in Waxhaw the latter part of this week.

Wc: drow Wi'son Died J Thuuday. m Washington, Aug. 6?Mrs. PVoodrow Wilson, wife of the president of the United States, died at the White House at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Death came after a struggle of months against Bright's disease with complications. The president was completely unnerved by the shock and his grief was heartrending. He t.ore up well under the strain, however, and devoted himself to his daughters. The end came while Mrs. Wilson was unconscious. Her illness took a turn for the worse shortly before 1 o'clock in the afternoon and from then on she gradually grew weaker. Kneeling at the bedside at the end were the president and their three daughters. Dr. Cary T. Grayson, U. S. N., and a nurse were in the room and just outside a door were Secretary Mc.Adoo and Francis B. Sayre, Mr. Wilson's son-in-law, and Mr. Tumulty, his secretary. Both houses of congress adjourned when Mrs. Wilson's death was announced and for a brief time the wheels of the government virtually stopped. The beginning of the end came at 10 o'clock this morning, when Dr. E. P: Davis of Philadelphia, who had been called in for consulation, realized the time for hope had- passed. He took the president into the Red room and there in broken voice told him the truth. Mr. Wilson's face blanched, but he bore the I shock well. He was informed Ithe end was a question of hours. ' i? . >S? ItM daughters, Mrs. W. G. McAdoo, Mrs. Sayre and Miss Margaret Wilson, aside and told them. Until then they had thought there was a chance for her recovery. ( From that time on the president and his daughters remained constantly at the bedside. The president held his wife's hand and the three daughters were grouped nearby. Untill she became unconscious Mrs Wilson frequently nodded to one or the other and smiled cheerfully. During the day Mrs. Wilson spoke to Dr. Grayson about the president, of whose health she ii? t_. > ? uiuugm more man ner own. "Promise me," she whispered faintly, "that if I go you will take care of my husband?" It was the same touch of devotion which she so many times has repeated, her constant anxiety having been that the president might not worry about her or be disturbed in official tasks. Washington, Aug. 7.?Funeral services for Mrs. Wilson, wife of i the president, will be held MonArxxr ?1 uuy uiivi UUUli Ul U L1ULK ill 111U White House in the historic East room, where a few months ago she witnessed the marriage of her daughter, Jessie, to Francis B. Sayre. Burial will be Tuesday afternoon in Myrtle Hill cemetery, Home, Ga., where ' Mrs. Wilson spent many of her 1 girlhood days, and where her mother and father are buiied. i Many telegrams were received ! at the White House today from girlhood friends of Mrs. Wilson, expressing their sympathy and hoping that she might "be hrnilffllf Kcir?lr V\nmn " 1/HVI\ I 1\/ 1 I I\^. The services ai the White House will he private, but will s be attended by members of the cabinet, a few relatives and intimate friends, and by committees from the senate and the house, i The Rev. Sylvester Reach of [ Providence, N. J., who married , Mrs. Say re and M rs^ W.jTMc-1 Adoo in the White House, probably will officate, and it is possible that the Rev. James H.i Taylor, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church of Washington, will assist. The trip South will be made in a special train Monday at 4:30 andidue at Rome about 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The final rites will be held soon afterwards. Today Mrs. Wilson's body was left in the Southwest room, in which she died yesterday. The president visited the room several times. Only members of the family and the most intimate friends were admitted. Flowers and messages of sympathy from all parts of the country arrived at the White House today. Thousands of telegrams and letters came from people in all walks of life. ' Eggs Hatched On Car Of Rock From The Robcsonian Eggs will hatch in most any kind of a place without the aid of a hen, or so it seems of late. Only a few weeks ago some rcoDeson county eggs batched in a shoe box, and Monday while unloading a car of rock near the V. & C. S. station, the hands kept hearing something make a noise, and the noise sounded very much like that of a biddie. And that was just what it was, for up in the corner of the car which was not covered over was a paper sack in which had been six eggs, but three of them had been broken, two of them had "pipped" and the biddies were almost ready to hop out, while the other was broken and the tikifA bAAAl-* - rr vu hv not quite, but almost, ready to come out too. Poor things, in the world without a mother! tsut not so sad after all, for Mr. Willie McGill took them home and gave them to a hen, a good mother, which had been wanting to set for sometime. It was thought *hat some of the hands who loaded the car which was loaded at Granite Falls, bought the eggs and left them on the car unintentionally and the sun hatched them. Things will happen, and eggs will hatch. Hold, Says Congress Washington, Aug. 7.?In an address to the cotton growers and people of the cotton growing States made public tonight, the Congressional committee, which volunteered several days ago to seek measures which would prevent serious consequences to the South because of the European War, declared: ? * v/ui message to yuu IS?SI3DC1 firm. Sell cotton only as a last necessity." Members of the committee headed by Senator Hoke Smith, Georgia, after a careful investigation of conditions up to the present time gave it as their mature judgment that the least possible cotton should be put upon the market during the next 60 days, asserting that the agencies of the Federal Government both executive and legislative were doing all possible to relieve the strain of the situation caused by the lack of transportation facilities and the danger of facing no market abroad. They colled for unanimous unselfish co operation among the farmers, marchants and bankers of the common good and declare: "It should be undestood that we are not in the midst of a panic, nor is a financial panic possible under our new banking ana currency laws and it is not necessary for us to throw our cotton upon the market at prices less than its real value." Dudley News Miss Maude Funderburk went to Wingate, N. C. Friday, to spend a few days with Miss Delia Evans, who has been spending part of the past week with Miss Funderburk. Mesdames Laney, Askins and Duncan, of Pageland, and Mrs. C. M. Duke of Nashville, Tenn., spent Sunday with their father, Mr. J. T. Funderburk, and attend ed church. T - ivir. j. k. funderburk, is spending a while with his father, Mr. James T. Funderburk. Mr. J. Frank Funderburk, closed Sunday a very successful meeting of days at Oak Hill Baptist church. This is a new church, just organized a few years ago at the old Funderburk cemetery in Lancaster county. The church extended to Bro. Funderburk a una.iimous call to the pastorate for the ensuing year. There were ten candidates for baptism and some other additions by restoration. Miss Lessie Funderburk, visited her sister, Mrs. Victor Baucom in Lanes Creek township, last week. Potracted meeting began at Liberty Hill Sunday. Rev. Barnwell Caston is doing the preaching. Mr. Caston is an earnest preacher and a great revival is hoped and looked for. Mr. Clyde Funderburk and sister, Miss Carye, of the Tabernacle section, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Funderburk, who with their family are camping in a pretty park on Linches River near here. - v/ ^3^_factthat_x Rev. B. S. Funderburg himself "in the woods" morning the poweiful sermom t on the judgement reminded hearers of one in the woods (wilderness) nineteen hundred years ago. The subject was based, mainly on the two words "Rememberance and conscienj ce." It seems that few normal men and women could listen to vm appeal iiKe mis and tail to examine themselves. If we fail to get the program for the B. Y. P. U. convention, which is to meet with the Elizabeth Baptist church Friday and Saturday before the 2nd Sunday in September, in this weeks paper we will be sure to have it there next week. Luck. We heard a story the other day about a Cleveland minister of the Gospel who was giving the small son of a neighbor an elementary lesson in ethics, relates The Cleveland Plain Dealer. "My boy," he said, "1 am no longer young. I have lived for 45 years and I have never used alcohol of tobacco in any form. I have never indulged in profane language, and I have never allowed myselt to tell an intruth. When I was a boy, like you, I never ran away from school and 1 never gave my dear mother a minute's worry. And I?" "Have you got any kids?" "Children, do you mean? No, I have no boys of my own, but?" "Gee!" "What is the matter?,' "Nothin', parson. I was iust thinkin how lucky those kills is that you ain't got!" "Well, Johnnie, I s'posc you're glad you're through with th' 43 Rs' for a while?"
