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. ,!

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.

Capo Fear Fair Will be liarger an;l
(letter than Kver this Year.
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.

] Prophet's Praise of Palm.
Mohammed, the prophet, said:
! "Honor your uncle, the palm. He was
created from the enrth left over after
Adam's crention. The palm resembles
I man in its upright position and by its
1 sexes In separate trees. If Its head la
cut off It dies, or If its heart is too
! much exposed. If Its leaves ore cut off
it cannot replace, nor can mun after
i losing his limbs. The palm body is
also covered with hair, or fiber."
Why the Four Servants.
"Why are you leaving us, Mary?
Haven't I treated you right?" "Oh,
yes, ma'am. I have been treated beautifully.
But you only keep two servqipts."
"Well, what of tliut? You
don't find the work hnrd, do you?"
i "Oh. no, ma'um; But, you see, I've
j always lived where there were four
j servants. And that suits me better,
j on account of my fondness for auction
I bridge, ma'am."?Philadelphia Star
