No definite news is yet available
as to Chesterfield county's
chances of getting the rifle and
artillery range we have heard so
much about. The matter is in
^1. I ? / .1 *
me nanas 01 ine governmeniai
authorities, and the final dicis
ion will probably not be made
until after October 1st. A number
of the possible sites have
been weeded out, and Chesterfield
is still in the list, and it is
believed that our chances are
good. Favetteville, N C. is still
in the race, but the site in
this county is probably the best
in a number of respects. Mr. G.
W. Duvall went to Charleston
yesterday to do what he could,
and no stone is being left .unturned.

The war news is still encouraging
for the Allies. The Russians
have stopped running and
reorganization of the army is
said to be in progress. Germany
is failing in another attack upon
Verdun, and also continues to
talk of peace. Argentina has
ordered her army and navy to
mobilize at once, which may
foreshadow actual participation
in the warat an early date on the
side of the Allies. The United
States is almost daily exposing
German intrigue in this country,
1 ?
ana mus snowing up tne sneaking
meanness of the Germans,
and all the while going right
along with the preparations to
wkip ffiemT It appears that every
day that passes makes victory
more certain for the Allies.

Mr* Roland Beaslev, who
has been editor of the Monroe
Journal since that paper was es
tablished more. than twentv
three years ago, has been ap-~
pointed Commissioner of Public
Welfare for North Carolina, and
will go to Raleigh and devote
his time to the duties of this
newlv created office after the
first of October. Mr. Beasley
therefore gives up his place as
editor of the paper he has edited
so ably, and turns over the edi
torship to his nephew, Mr. John
Beasley. \vh6 has spent much of
his life in the office of this pop
ular paper. Mr. G. M. Beasley,
brother of Mr. R. F. Beasley
and one of the founders of the
paper, will remain in charge of
the mechanical and business end
of the papei. With G. M. Beas
ley, at the helm, and his son
John as editor the Journal will
go on as before. The editorials
^ A t\ A ll- -
may nui reneci me experience
and deep thinking of the former
editor, still John writes some
very interesting stuff and the
readers will dobtless be iust as
eager for the paper. Here's
wishing for R. F. pleasure and
efficiency in his new work, and
success for G. M. and John with
The Journal.

Why does a chicken always
cross the road in front of a buggy
or automobile instead of remaining
safely out of the path
of the vehicle?
"Would you be insulted if I
should tell you that you look
much like President Wilson?"
we asked a traveling salesman
here yesterday morning.
"No, sir, I would not. People
very often tell me that," he replied.
"His brother lived in mv
town for. several years and I am
even more like him than like
Wood row" (
And the fellow does actually
resemble the president so much
that we noticed it across the
street and went over to ascer (
tain whether or not the presi (
dent had come down incognito ;
to spend some time in the best |
town at all. ,

Mr. J. R. Cato is a man who '
belives in doing one thing at a
time, and one only. He enjoys
a discussion of the war and other
topics with his fellow townsman,
and not infrequently does
he come across the street for a
little chat when the customers
at his store are not very numerous.
One morning last week
he was reclining in a Ford in
front of the Hardware store
and taking an active part in the
dsscussion of events, past and
present, when he saw Henry
Sowell enter his store, presuma
ply to purchase something. He
called to him "Hey! Come out
of there. Can't vou find it some
where else?"
