We ARE NOT DOING
OUR FULL WAR DUTY
IGNORE UNCLE SANS CALL,
AND GO ON IN THE EXTRAV-
AGANCES OF LIFE.

There is one thing about which
people of Terrell county know alOmst
nothing, and that is self-denial. We
are reading a great deal about it
these days, but we ignore the insist
ant calls and go on in our eXtrava-
gances as though we had no part in
the nations problem of conservation.
We sign cards, oh yes, for meatless
days and wheatless days and every
thing else that comes along, but what
are we really doing to help in eco
nomic movements that Uncle Sam al
most with tears in his eyes is implor-
ing us to adopt that we may help
him bear the burdens of this world
war? .*aA
1t really seems that the more cards
we sign the more elaborate are the
refreshments we serve at the various
meetings. Understand, this scribe
has healthy appetite, and who
could resist the good things provided
by our Dawson housekeepers? We
plead guilty to doing our share of dis
posing Of whatever is provided and
when we've had food four times a
day we get the papers and read some
more about the children in other
lands crying for bread and the wo-
men gaunt and pale from starvation.
How long are we going to keep up
the farce of making like" we are
enlisted for real sacrifice? In war
relief we are forced to confess that
Dawson is tagging behind some other
communities. 1t seems hard for us
to break our habits of ease and lux
ury, but it will be a whole lot easier
for us to face issues now and cut
down expenses than it will be to live
on one meal day or possibly go
hungry for weeks should we fail and
the war come over here.
We are told every day that we can
help nightly in winning the war if
we will just leave off the things we
really are better off without and help
to feed the world. What are we go
ing to do about it? Nobody is asking
that we give up the necessary amount
of food to keep US strong and fit, but
how many of us are digging our
graves with our teeth? We german
die until we are sick, and then pay
specialists all sorts of fancy prices
to tell us to quit eating. There are
hundreds of people going without
breakfast every day and feeling all
the better for it, but most of US
would be as cross as a bear if we had
to give up our hot waffies, bacon
and eggs.
All the preachments on patriotism
and all the exhortations to duty on
ly touch the surface. The thing that
goes deep enough to count in this
crucial hour is personal sacrifice.
Quoting from a we'll known writer,
at will be more and more a dis
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1917-11-13

about who shall lead in Red Cross
activities. They only ask that it shall
be some one with heart and brain
big enough to put forever aside petty
differences.
Our soldiers are bleeding and dy-
ing in France to save the women of
America from fate worse than
death. The Red Cross work is their
part in helping to win the war. Let
US close up the ranks and forward
march. 1t would be happy day for
this section if all could respond
heartily to the following lofty senti-
ments expressed in President Will
sons Thanksgiving proclamation:
I'm this day of the revelation of
our duty not only to defend our own
rights as nation, but to defend al
so the rights of free men throughout
the world, there has been vouchsafed
us In full and inspiring measure the
resolution and spirit of united action.
We have been brought to one mind
and purpose. A new vigor of common
action has been revealed in us. A
new light shines about US. The great
duties of a new day awaken a new
and greater national spirit in US. We
shall never again be divided"
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1917-11-13
No Time For Jealous Rivalries;
Our Soldiers Bleeding in France

1t would seem that the time has
come when to longer bubble over
who's who in local Red Cross mat
ters is to advertise ourselves as COM
pletely out of harmony with the
spirit of the organization, which is
looked upon by all the world as
thing of love binding mankind to-
gether." When we come to consider
the question seriously none of us
are of any special Importance except
as we are able to serve in some great
cause. Perhaps in fifty years it will
not be remembered that any one of
US ever lived, but if we are true to
our best selves we can be a vital
force in carrying forward the prin-
ciples of democracy that shall bless
generations yet unborn.
Our country needs every one of us
to stand In our place in this testing
time. The hour has struck. If we
mean to do anything worthy of this
splendid community we have no time
to waste with fractional disturbances
brought about by one or two on each
side with the spirit Of "rule or ruin"
little too strongly developed.
The large majority of women in
Terrell are not specially concerned

MISS IRWIN'S KNITTING PARTY
WAS MOST PLEASANT AFFAIR

Miss Mary Belle Irwin literally
started the ball to rolling by enter
tanning recently at the first knitting
party to Dawson's credit. This prov
ed to be such delightful occasion
to the eighteen guests present that
this form of entertainment will no
doubt be followed by a number of
others. Fashioning the yarn into
comforts for the soldiers is always
fascinating work and combined with
the social features makes the ideal
party for war tipes. Miss Irwin was
assisted by her sister, Mrs. Horkin.
IN serving salad course when the
knitting needles had been laid aside.
The affair has been the subject of
pleasant comment among the young
matrons and maids who attended.

grace for any man to say the war
has not touched me-"
In England the men of large for
tunes are paying back in taxes 80
per cent. of their income. In Cana
da there is only one thought, what
can l do for the army " Every man,
woman and child is enlisted in a
league of sacrifice. Self-denial is the
order of the day. We have not reach
ed that point yet, but we are at the
beginning. Some of our boys have
already spilled their blood, and are
sleeping in the soil of France. They
have given their lives to help save
America. We are asked to take the
first degree in sacrifice, and there are
many degrees ahead of US before we
become master Americans. Shall we
not gladly take the first step in self
denial that we may be stronger for
the next call to larger sacrifices?

now is filling that amount of space

The leg, now bearing a silver plate,

Ten months ago Herring sprained
his arm. Not having ready access tc

slight, he set the member himself. AT
length a bone trouble developed and

A REAL SENSATION.
Postmaster and Chief of Police, of
Hickory Grove, Arrested.

York, Sept. York county ex-
perienced a real shock today, as was
predicted in the News and Courier
when it was learned that j. Meek
McGill and w. Carson baltimore had
been arrested on the charge of com
plicity in the lynching of Rev. Wat
son Sims, a negro preacher, which
tragedy occurred in the Locus Hill
section of York county early on the
morning of August "a.
Mr.. McGill is postmaster at Hlck-
ory Grove and is we'll known in Wes-
tern York county, where he has many
relatives and friends. Mr.. baltimore
is chief of police of Hickory Grove
and also has numerous friends.
Both Refuse to Talk.
The two men were arrested at
Hickory Grove this morning by Sher-
iff Quinn. They expressed no sur
prise when informed by the sheriff
that he held warrants for their ar
rest. The sheriff allowed both men
to go to their homes in order to
change their clothes. Then they were
brought to the Jail here in automo-
biles. Neither had any comment to
make.
Mr.. McGill told the sheriff that he
had heard several days ago that he
was under suspicion in connection
with the lynching, and Mr.. baltimore
said that he had learned early this
morning that he was suspected. Chlel
baltimore has a wife and three chill,
dren. Mr.. McGill is unmarried
Eleven arrests have been made IN
this case and whether any more vii
be made before the grand jury meets
Monday remains to be seen. Almos1
