Bickett, of North Carolina speaks he usually says something worth hearing. His advice to North Carolina farmers is so pointed nnd wise that we make no apology for offering it to our own friends of Chesterfield county; To the farmers of North Carolina: "Opportunity has hair in front. Behind she is bald. If you seize her by the forelock you may hold her, but once permitted to pass, not Jupiter himself can catch her again." So runs an ancient aphorism. This year opportunity stands before the farmers of North Carolina with a forelock that reaches to the ground. You have with splendid foresight canned and dried your surplus friuts and vegetables. For you the high cost of living holds few terrors Empyrean prices are being paid for the products of you toil. Never before in this generation, and possibly never again, will there come to the average farmer so large an oppor- 1 tunity to lift himself and family to a higher level of happiness and hope. Temptations to fritter away the proceeds of your crops will crowd thick inon von ImnrnviHonno will lm?? o "loop, and pleasure and prodigali- i y will call on you with many voices. 1 Fhe "hlue sky" artists are already on ? ,'our trail. They have heard that you * ire fat, and have marked you for I heir own. All kinds of get-rich- 1 juick schemes will be dangled ?before ^ ,'ou, and the voice of the agent will 1 ie heard in the land. Smooth and 1 wordy vendors of lighting rods, and ( anges, and organs, and pianolas, and sewing machines, and churns, and ' vashing machines, and patent modi- s les, and county rights, and crayon 1 wtraits, and shares in excessively "ipitalized stallions will spring up iround you as countless as the frogs hat came up in the land of Egypt, md seek to enter into the reward of >rour labors. In my Inaugural Address and in 1 ; series of hills submitted to the Gen- * ral Assembly, 1 endeavored to make ' ilain a purpose to make life on the ' "arm just as profitable and attractive ' life in the town.

To r his einl 1 earnestly beseech the farm- v rs of the state to set apart the month >f .November as Thrift Moiuh, and v iipe every farmer to do something lefinite and substantia! during that 51 nonth that will insure to the pertaa- v* tent betterment of his condition in ^ ife. I suggest the following specific 1 IC< omidishments :intl !itinn!il to .ivi.ru I rarnn r to do one or more of these Minus: I 1 1. To pay olf all debts, and go on ' i cash basis next year. ,1 2.

If he he a tenant to buy, if pos- '> s:bb , a si. ad farm and make the first payment on the purchase price. The Agricultural Department, the! Joint Committee on Agricultural j Work and the State Department of Education will generously co-operate with the farmers in making Thrift 1 Month a notable month in the agricultural lift of the state. I call upon ' the teachers in the rural schools to j read mis appeal to the children. Com- 1 plete plans for taking a census during the first week in December will be arranged to the end that we may know at the end of the month just how many farmers have redeemed the great opportunity that now confronts ; them and have preserved for their wives and children some portion of the blessings of this unparalleled yc?r. T. W. BICKKTT, Governor. Kaleigh, N. C. MAY ENLIST AT 17 New York. Nov. 2.?The minimum a;*" limit for enlistment in the United States marine corps has been lowered from 19 to 17 years of age, according o a statement issued tonight by the recruiting committee of Mayor MitchcTs committee on rational defense.' armer's Golden ! Says Gov. Bickett; ~ l' STRAIGHT TALK 1 , (By Berton Braley.) | We've Rot to get this fact under ( ^ our craniums, and keep it there in a place where we can't get away from it: i j We're either Pro-American or ProGerman. I There isn't any neutral territory .......-..t 4 ovf/iuatinf; uic twu Liadat'B. ^ AH there is is a fence?a fence of thought and feeling and cold hard j fact?which divides the false from the true, the disloyal bunch from the ' loyal one. ! : Pacifism, profiteering, sabotage, seditious agitation, soap box oratory? any and all of these things which ! hamper the nation from going into ^ this fight with all its strength of men and money?are pro-German propa- ( ganda, whether they are i-ncant so or r not. However honest may be the motives of those who oppose the war, those I who stir up opposition to the draft, ;nd those who say discord and discontent under the banner of free speech, I they are working for the kaiser and not for America. ? Criticism of the government for lack of eflieiencv in ifn preparations, for dearth of energy or I misdirected effort in doinp the enormous job before it. is the truest sort \ if loyalty and needs no .excuses; but ft the questioning of purposes, the imlupninp of motives, the subtle and /icious undermininp of confidence a vhich many people who consider hemselves pood Americans indulpe n, is sheer disloyalty and nothinp lse. Such folks are not pood Americans; i hey're apents of the kaiser just as j lurelv as thouph they drew pay from ' he XVilhelmstrasse. h DOGS IN RECENT WARS t< The value of canine help of the ~ mttlefield, particularly in connection vilh Ited Cross work, has come to be ( eeopnized in all countries. No few- < r than six hundred dops took part \ n the Italian campaipn in Tripoli, 1 sundreds t?f wounded men who mipht < nherwise have been left to their fate c >einp found by the animals and f lu!y rescued. Durinp the Russo-Japanese war he Russians employed hundreds of j rained collies in Manchuria, with the 1 suit that numbers of wounded men , vere discovered who otherwise might iave escaped the vigilance of an over- vorked ambulance corps. 1 In the Franco-German war, both J lides employed dogs with great suc ess. At the present time all the I f< treat powers at war place high value i ? >n the services of dogs. Germany ! done ha probably 10,000 dogs mo- { ili/ed on her battlefronts, and the \llies are training large numbers of ! logs for use in ambulance work, sen- j inel and guard <luty, the carrying of !? ! ?' "h"s and the transporting and ..nvoying of ammunition and light irtillery. j 11 is in the search for and the rciof of the wounded that use is found for the highest type of dog intellect, I he animals being carefully trained j not only to find wounded men, but ! to indicate their whereabouts to the j imbalance corps. i HIS SPECIAL PRAYER I _ (From Chelsea Gazette.) j A little-four-old enjoyed the lux- j ury of sleeping with his mother during a short illness. After his recovery his mother told him that he was to go again to his own little room, lie made no objections, but after being undressed said: "Mother, I want to say my prayers , alone tonight." "But for what reason?" "Because I want to, mamma." The mother, standing outside the door," heard her offspring pray as follows: "() God, make me sick; make me real sick, make me vomit, but don't dead me !" Mow much this Chelsea youngster. . .1 a __ i !au l:-. 4 1 - i " imiwci n> snri'|i wim iu? iiiuini-r; t CHERAW RED CROSS GIVES HALLOWE'EN PARTY A HoHowe'en party was given at the town hall on Wednesday evening for the benefit of the Ited Cross.
