1t is time for the government to
quit handling the dark and stealthy
deStroyers of our national war sup
plies by fires-these fires that sud-
denly break out in half a dozen
PLACES if they were but offenders
against the civil law relative to in
cendia arism. Sentences of few years
imprisonment do not faze the enemy
organization that is plainly still op-
Grating within our country.
Let the men caught setting fire to
food supplies be shot, precisely as
spies or any other sneaking enemies
of our country masked as friends.
Destroy them and rest of the gang
will show more wholesome respect
for the govarnment.
Better tha a hundred of these in
famous enenies within our gates
should die thn a single honest SOL
dier at the font should perish for
lack of the tAngs destroyed by these
fires, which al occurring with alarm
ing frequency Let guards be doubled
and trebled il hnecessary, every sus-
picious charafr be arrested till he
can clear him4f f and for those con-
victed of settig the torch-let the
penalty be deah and that promptly.

working hard and getting plain grub,
while the German prisoners at Hot
Springs, N. c., whom she saw as she
passed through that place, look we'll
fed, content and seem to have all
the comforts of life. They are play

The grandest opportunity now ex-
lists in Union county for our men to
buy land that has come to the race
sirAe freedom L. Every colored man
who ever expects to buy nice little
farm had better do so now. The land
is selling most reasonable and it is
the chance of life time. The man
who buys little farm now and culti-
Yates it properly will have little for
tune in the near future. A great many
of our people have money now and
lots of it and whatever you do, buy
home, and one that will help you
make a living. Don't invest lots of
money in town lots that will make you
nothing. Buy farm and prepare to
