JtTKJE Walter Clark, Chief
Jusdce of the Supreme Court of
North Carolina, was a trar.sii.-at
visitor in Rockingham -Monday,
and t'le editor was pleased to
have had a call from him. He
was en route by motor to Colum
bia and Charleston.
servatives, Judge Clark has been
deemed a visionary, radical and
too progressive. But the policies
that the Judge lias been advocat
ing for years are now being re
cognized. Especially as regards
suffrage for women has the Judge
been a champion; and those of
our citizens who even now op
pose granting the ballot to our
women are wasting their time
and energy; for as surely as the
sim sets at the close of cay, so
surely is woman's suffrage a thing
of the immediate xvx nt.

have as much
chance of electing a president in
1920 as a snow ball would below.
Judge Clark might by some be
termed an old man; and while
'tis true he is in the neighbor
hood of 68, yet his years are but
the mellow ripening of the fruit,
and he is as virile and active as
the average man of 45 or 50.
The Judge saw active sendee
"in the days of '61-'65, and he now
has two sons in the service: one
Walter, Jr., is Captain of Co. B.
120th infantry (the old 3rd N. C.
regiment), 30th division, and an
other son is completing a course
of training at an artillery school
near Louisville. When the Civil
war broke out Judge Clark was a
student at Col. Tew's Military
Academy near Hillsboro. Col.
Tew was called upon to furnish
a score of his best drilled stud
ents to act as drill masters for
the rapidly forming regiments at
Raleigh, and Judge Clark, though
only 14 years old, was sent as
one of his best. So well did he
perforn. his duties that he was
continned with the regiment and
sent to the battles in Virginia.
At the close of the war he was
Lieut.-Col. of the Junior Reserves.
There has been no abler con
tributor to Confederate history
than he, as his five immense Vol
umes of Regimental Histories
bear witness. The father of the
editor was pleased to be a per
sonal friend of the Judge, a college-mate;
and the son is a'so
proud to bear the personal friend

! The Student Nursing Reserve
affords an opportunity to serve
that ought not to be overlooked
by the young women of the Na

of the 25,000 that the government
wants is 460. It ought to be easy
to meet the call, but it will not
be if every young woman depends
on some one else to answer it.
There area number of young
women in Richmond comity who
::re willing to undertake this ser

desire more information regard

i!rs. W. P. Webb will be at the

The Good Roads Convention in
session at Wrightsville endorsed
the proposition to build a concrete
highway between Charlotte and
Wilmington. The idea is to
build it by Government and
County aid, jointly. The plan is
a good on, and Richmond county
will certainly be found ready to
do her part in the link from An

time comes, and the plan-on-paper
assumes tangible form.
Country Club members are al

the proposed heavy tax levy in

will take the excess over the old
rate.

The past week has witnessed
a continuation of the splendid
successes of American and Allied
troops in France. The Germans
have been steadily driven back
since July 18th. and in THREE
WEEKS we have wrested from
t he Germans what required four
months for them to obtain-and
obtained at a cost ot nearly a
million men. The Germans have
been driven back nearly to the
line occupied bv them before
they began their big offensive
March 21. In the past three
weeks over 100,000 Germans
have been captured, vast stores
, v. t xv,wj Jt:illrlll3
ot cannon and munitions, and
undoubtedlv 250,000 or more
Germans killed and wounded
Considering the severitv of
the fig'ning, our American loss
has been marvelously small. Up
until the official casualty lists an
nounced Aug. 14th, the total
killed, wounded and prisoners of
American forces from the begin
ning of the war total only 20,840.
