1ho have seen many hard
4 Ed and who have had
E*f war as she was. There
twenty-six of them, and the pa
l31Fiotic fire blaZed in their eyes and
they marched with quicker step.
There were the Daughters of the
American Revolution, the .. d. H.,
the Sons of Veterans, the college boys
and the school children and the mill
boys and the Red Men and the WOOD
men of the World and the colored
citizens and the bands from the three
cotton mills, and then the speeches.
(Which we didn't hear. The COM
mittee made no arrangements for the
reporters, if so We did not Know II
and it was too much to stand and try
to make note).
Practically all of the business
houses were closed and the mills hao
closed down and on account OF the
hearing on the roads bonds from
No. 4, there was a large attendance
from that section who remained over
for the demonstration.
The best of order prevailed and eV-
erything moved like a clock.
The line of march followed the Or
der as published. AS the procession
passed on the square Miss Ieressa
Maybin stood, on the old court house
steps with a lighted torch represent
ing America as the light of the world,
the statue of liberty. Along Win
her were Uncle Sam and Aunt Mar
tha and a number of young ladies
representing the Red Cross.
The man whose blood doesn't tin-
gle lust a little when the band plays
Ddxie isn't much of an American, and
we NO longer wonder how the Con-
federates made so many brave
charges, for they could not help II
as the band played Dixie even II they
had wanted to, which they dldn t. IL
gives one a sort Of curious 1eenng
to listen to that music.
One feature of the parade was the
bovs with the hoes. And Tuesoay
was a beautiful and aStimely day for
their use. President Wilson says
there is as great, if not greater, de-
mand lust now for the service OF tnat
brigade than there is for an. other
part of the great army which IS
forming. And wes hope every one
will read President Wilson's address
TO his countrymen which we publish
in this Issue of The Herald and News.
There is patriotic work for every
one to do, and now that the nurrans
are over, and those that were over
sowing with hot air have given it an
outlet. it is time for every
patriot to get down to work
and to enlist in some branch OF the
great army that is forming to do his
TART for his country. They want
men for the army. They want men
FOR. the navy. They want men for the
Helds with the hoe and the ploW.
Men who have money can help those
Who have none to do something IN
the great work that is before the
country. Mr.. Wilson says: There
"a not g. single selfish element, SO
iar as I can see, in the cause we are
Sghting for. We are fighting lot
what we believe and wish to be the
tights Of mankind and for the fn-
rnre neace and security of the world.
no do this great thing worthily and
successfully We must devote our.
g selves to the service without regard
4o nrodit or material advantage ana
With an energy and intelligence that
will rise to the level of the enterprise
5tself We must realize to the fuli
now great the task is and how many
things, how many kinds and elements
NJ capacity and service and selfsacrl-
4;ce il involves" And then he goes
IN 70 enumerate some Of the things
so he done besides fighting. These
are great and true words of Mr.. Will
SON. Now that the hurrahs are over
lot all cooperate in the service fof
which we are called. And don't say
to vour neighbor, &C.," but with
clarion voice that may be heard far
and near, say to him, "Come, let US
all pull together, it is every mans
duty to do his part-"
) No use to abuse any one, not even
the old Kaiser, and no use to say un-
kind things of others who may not
have agreed with you. Abuse never
won a victory and never will. Spend
vonr energy in the direction of doing
something worth while. No one IS
TOO old and no one is too young to 10
his share.
