Dillon, 8. C., November 7, 11M8 T When a prizefighter sees his oppo cut getting groggy he does not lessen trt* efforts; rather, he turns on as . , much steam as he can to finish the j other fellow. That's what the Allies must do. Accidents are happening every day and each is a sermon against carelessness. The man or woman who runs an automobile like a house afire us-1 ually goes to eternity with the samej apeed. It Is said that good cannot come out f evil, but good will follow the ter-' rible influenza epidemic through | which we have passed, in that we will have a cleaner and halthier nation. IL would be a mistake to relinquish our war efforts before the. actual finish. A diminution of these afforts might easily induce the kaiser-, tstic forces to take heart and incul- i cgJte a belief that they have fooled the entente into slowing up. Th Central powers know they are beaten, have admitted it by offering 1 a truce on practically the terms of the 1 entente; and nobody believes the tier-11 man war machine can long withstand J ihe overwhelming pressure of the al-; lied forces. ,! 1 Like the price of any other commodity, the price of land fluctuates ac-1' cording to the law of supply and de-| maud, but there will be i>o more cheap 1 land in this country. It is a statis- : ticai fact that the valuei of farm land 1 .in the United Stats increases five per 1 cent, annually, and during the war ' tti is increase has been considerably stimulated. There will be a decline 1 in th? price, but the valu will remain the same. The man who waits f. ,r 1 the price of land to go back to its former low level is upt to die landless, j' HOLD YOUR OTTON. A newspaper risks a lot when it offers advice to farmers about cotton, but we believe this is a time when the newspapers should urge every farmer in the country to hold his cottun off the market. If tho prospect of an early peace is responsible for the recent heavy decline inprice then there can be no argument about the p**ice of cotton. It is conclusive the whims and fuucies of a few men, who turn and twist controlling factors to suit their own l>u imposes. ? do not know what is wrong with the market. Various theories have been advanced by intlligcnt men in cJcac touch with ihe situation, but no one person seems o be able o place tbe blame in the right place. They aM agree that something is wrong? radically wrong?that some unsen and unknown force is at awork driving t be price of cotton down for a purpose, but the root of the trouble cannot be reached. The situation is in the farmer's bands, otton is worth 35 cents a pound and if the war ends in the next 6(1 days it will be worth 4 0 or probably 50 cents. There has been no dezline in the price of cotton goods and the old argument about tbe "law of supply and demand" does not enter Into the matter. Our advice to th farmer is to keetp bis cotton off the market. As stated In (be beginning, it is risky, t>? offer ^ advice about cotton, but we are taking the risk. In our judgment the man who sells at present prices will regret ft before the next crop is made. If you have debts to pay see your banker and borrow the money on y<>ur cotton. JL Card of Thank*.

I . | That the Cape Fear Fair will be the greatest in its history this year despite the forced change of dates brought about the "flu" epidemic is 'evidenced by the great' variety of attractions that will appear in Fayetteville. While the change of dates has caused some some inconviences it has IKa ^ ^ A Al A uvcu u Kivm?r utip iir.ui ueimueni to the fair association, it is only to the change of showing dates that Secretary Jackson was able to secure the entire amusement organization of j twenty shows that were booked at !the State Fair at Raleigh to appear at the 'Cape Fear Fair. ! The government has taken over the State Fair grounds at Raleigh and is using it as a Tank Training Camp and for that reason it was impossible to hold the State Fair this year. When advised of the government action Secretary Jackson immediately got into communication with the State Fair officials as well as the many exhibitors with the result that the Cape Fear Fair will in reality be a State Fair in its scope as he was successful in securing the major portion of the State Fair exhibitions. ; Each train brings in scores of fine bioodfd horses, and many mechauical and bo .eminent exhibits. The races this year will be one of the principal features us a great many of the most prominent members of .the turf will contend for the winning honors and the large and liberal purses that are being offered. All patriotic measures will be well taken care of and will be under the: direct and personal supervision of government experts. The Red Cros.ij win u? especially active, the many npble women who are identified with this wonderful organization will be' 011 hand daily. The rural organization J of the United War Work Campaign1 will present many educational wari exhibits, such as a section of real front line "trenches" just like "our! boys" are fighting in "overthere," also "dug-outs" "listening posts," j "barbedwire entanglements" and many other impliments of modern | war-fare. Another patriotic measure will be| the purchase of a thousand dollars; worth of War Savings Stamps by the fair board, these stamps ^will be used in paying the various premiums j awarded the prize winners and exhib-j itor8 at the Cape Fear Fair. It has been decided to make the lair' a live dajr event instead of four days 1 as has ben usual, owing to this change Negro Day will be held 011 Saturday' instead of Friday. On Negro Day there will be a special exercises, races and prizes especially adapted for the colored race, all colored school children will be admitted free on Negro Day. The diillculty that now presents itself is to properly provide space for the many attractions and xhibits, fc'hile the fair grounds is amply large enough for the Cape Fear Fair as it tias been held in the past, but now ivih he coming of he scores of exra thibis and shows i is going o b diffr tcuii 10 una space tor tliem all. The temporary enlargement of the fair grounds so as to accommodate the 'Monster Cape Fear Fair" is now being considered. Fayettevillet will hav the only large fair in North Carolina this year.? 11-7-lt. Itegulations for the control of Sjmni>h Influenza in the County of Dillon.
