!. cotton mill there were sixteen "grasi
widows" We, were surprised ant
sorry to hear this. Sixteen men Wht
married young girls and promised tt
be faithful to them have gone of leaV'
ing their wives to shift for themselves
Sixteen women, some by themselves
and other sWith children to fare fos
are left to manage for themselves
This is a poor compliment to our
boosted civilization. Cotton mills af-
ford opportunities for such departures,
but this does not make the cases any
the Iss sad. One woman remarked
Saturday, 81 have had bad luck. Ny
husband has left me-"
This is, indeed a. distressing cond1-
ton and one which cannot be too Sc
verely condemned. And the trouble is
not confined to cotton mill villages.
Incidents of the kind are happening
almost everywhere in the State every
day in the week and the strong arm
Of the law ought to take a hand in the
game. There is a section in the pub
lie laws regarding desertion and non
support of wife by husband, or of chill
dren by either fother or mother, to
which the attention of our Smithfeld
contemporary is respectively invited.
1t recites:
Upon any conviction for abandon
ment, any judge or any recorder hav-
ing Jurisdiction thereof, may in his
discretion make such order or orders
as in his judgement will best provide
the support, as far as may be nee
essary, of the deserted wife or chill
dren OF. both from the property or la
Dor of the defendant"
If these sixteen deserving husbands
be found anywhere in North Caro-
lima they should be summarily dealt
with. DESERVING dependent wives n
children is nothing short of criminall
md guilty men should pay the penal !
ty TO rsuch contemplate meanness. ,
1t is to be hoped that the law relative !
% desertion may be more rigidIy en-
forced nthe future than it has been
n the past. Helpless women and chill
should be protected.

we as a race are willing to shoulder

under the flag which VIC have enjoyed
our freedom. We are loyal to the
U. ). flag as u white friends and we
hope the press will keep this a. going
until the United States becomes to be
the united world, just as soon as we
give Germany a t~hrashing.
Let every colored man as we'll as
the white men be willing to take a
part in this war if his services ara

Lets trust for the future being best

Hoping to hear from our white

GOVERNMENT ROAD FUNDS.

Henderson county, we have been in.
formed will receive, $40, 900 this veal
as its part of the federal governmen
road appropriation fund, owing to tho
fact that the state and county will
spend a like amount this year on the
county roads. The s~eventy-fve con
Vlcts to be placed in this county nm
the Bat Cave-Chimney Rock-Asheville
highway will mean an expenditure Of
nearly $4,000 alone.
The expenditure of his national
fund is in the hands of the state high
way commission and it is reported that
the entire $4,000 from the government
Will be spent in the Bat Cave section
While it is true that this section needs
a great deal of money in Rebuilding
the highways washed away during the
recent foods, yet. it is equally a fact
tnat there are a great many other
places in the county that have suffarad
severely by damaged roads. II ia
hoped that a part of this national rood
fund will be distributed in other narts
of the county.
Inc Charlotte-Bat Cave highway 10
OF unlimited value to Henderson conn !
" and Hendersonville n sbould bo
placed in tip-top condition just as soon
as possible, but we believe that No one
section of the county should receive
the entire benefit of this national aid
1t is to be remembered that the gov
eminent and state aid for the flood
here has already amounted 70
someth1ng hn the neighbOrhokd ,of
9f'OOO and a majority of this Amount
was spent in road work in the Bat
Cave section.
The entire county was damaged
thousands of dollars by the July floods,
roads in every section were washed
away, n the Hustler while it has no =
brief for any section of the county :
teels that the entire county should s
snare IN any aid from the government I
ana that no one section should receive :
entire appropriation. 7

THE NAVY ASKS FOR RECRUITS.

Secretary Daniels wants more mer
for the navy and recently sent out 9
call for a sufficient number to brine
the authorized listed strength up to
$1,000. Following the call of the Sec
rotary of the navy President Wilson
issued an executive order directing
that the authorized strength of the
Marine corps be increased to 17,4OO
men, the United States Marine Corps
being the soldier branch of the coun-
try's First Line of Defense" The or
der specifies that Marines serve both
ashore and a1oat, and are trained as
infnntry, heavy and light artillery and
machine gun, companies. They. form
the landing parties from ships of the
4avy, are the first men detailed for ex-
Evolutionary duty, and defend all naval
bases. Each capital ship of the navy
cries one company of marine. There
has been a net increase of yer 5000
in the strength Of the corps since con-
gress recently authorized the increase.
but over 1000 are needed and needed
now" This call affords a splendid
opportunity to youg men who are am
bilious to rise in naval circles and it
is hoped that the number needed may
be secured with little difficulty.
But if the authorized strength of
the Marine Corps shall be realized,
without sufficient enlisted men to ma |
the ships, the navy would still be
handicapped. Twenty thousand NOR,
men are needed to bring the number =
enlisted men up to the authorized
strength and Secretary Daniels is urg-
ing enlistment without delay. Pre-
dent Wilson joins in the call and ap-
peals to the patriotism of the men If
the country in asking them to join the
navy. In the appeal setn out by Sec
rotary Daniels he suggests that the
navy offers exceptional advantages to
young men OF stuff an dambition TO
serve in the first line for national de-
tense. May the cali be amply sus-

THE DIE Is CAST!
THE RUBICON CROSSED.
Chicago TIie Anri1 . 1q17

Chicago, IlI., April 8, 1917.
The die is cast! We have crossed
the Rubicon! tits grim-visaged war
and in along and bloody conflict it
will be fought to a finish! Whatever
may have been the opinion of Amari-
! can citizens as to our having a casus
belli with the Central Powers there
should be now only one sentiment and
that is "OUr Country right or wrong!"
Having incurred the mortal enmity OF
the Teutons we must either destroy
or be destroyed. 1t is going to be no
child's play. Europe has lost mil
lions of men. She has spent billions
of treasure. Her resources have been
destroyed. She is piling up billions
of dollars of debt which future genera
lions will pay, or revolutionary gov
eminent repudiate.
Her people are on the verge of star
Walton. Rachael is weeping for her
children. There are tens of thouands
of widows and orphans and untold
thousands in insane asylums, in hos
pitfalls for the deaf and dumb and blind,
hopelessly crippled. The war has
progressed for three years, and the
outcome was V more in doubt. In
a military sense Germany was never
SO strong as it is today. Her sub
marine warfare daily grows more
deadly. Unless a remedy is speedily
found. England, Italy, France and i
Russia will slowly starVe and starv-
ing nations cannot fight. Winston
Churchill, former Lord of the British
Admiralty declared in a speech
in parliament that the in
PREVENTION of America was a God send
to the allies, but even that made the
issue still unceEtain."
1t is bloody work that we have cut
out for ourselves. If the allies should
be crushed, Germany like a wounded
tiger will turn against us and we shall
have to fight for our existence.
When that time comes she will have
aid of trecherous Japan and muir
derous Mexico.
We will win, but when and at what
cost? In the civil war the South con-
s1dered it's u a just one, and de-
;lared that the God of Justice was with
is, and we could never be conquered.
It was Napoleon who said that ."God
a s with the General, who had the
most battalions." :
Again tits declared that God is fight
ng the battles of the allies and that ;
hey must win. I believe the kaiser is q
ust as strenuously insisting that God
. with the Teutonic armies. j
Just at this time it is the opinion OF
he greatest war experts that the bat =
alians are equally matched. =
Who will win depends not upon I

er and rapine and internecine and =
loody conflict between nations. but n
'ho is a God of peace, love and mercy, :,
ut as to whose battalions will prove n
lie strongest and whose shells can \ n
ut last the others. Il
Let us all hope that American will =
