RUSH THE FAIRS.

Our people should not permit
themselves to become so engrOssed
in the war and kindred subjects
as to neglect ample preparations
for the county and neighborhood
fairs this fall. We may be tempt
ed 80 think We are TOO busy to at
te60 to them, but in this we will
commit grave error
A county or neighborhood fair
is not aluxury, not an indulgence,
but one Of the most important in
stitutlons Of any community. It
is as essential to the best interests
OF the Industrial life Of the COM
muhity as is the school to the in
tellectual, or the church to the
spiritual life. It's educational in
Huenee is only limited by the
energy with which it is pushed.
III these days, VII Z the need is
urgent that production be slim
n1ated to the maximum. every
agency that tends to arouse enthu-
slasm and a desire to excel should
be carefully fostored. This the
county fair does as 10 other in
stltution does or can.
We should bend every energy
to getting together this fall the
most complete exhibit Of the pro
ducts Of the country that it is
possible to assem- bic. We will
need the stimulus Of the inspira-
ton IN the years to come. The
need for record production will
not end with this season. Unless
all Signs fail, the productive
agencies Of this county have
strenuous time before them for
many years to come.
LET Us center every energy on
the main issue-preparedness-
and PUSH it to a SUCCESSFUL,
conclusion.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-08-21

Of our country were to end with
the present generation. Does any
one imagine that our statesmen
would be materially interested in
the settlement Of the questions in
dispute? Hardly.
Naturally, then, it is mainly the
future Of the country that is to be
considered. What that FUTURE
is to be will depend upon OUR
ACTION NOW.
It is to the credit Of the Ameri-
can people that they have always
had a clear vision of the duty Of
the present generation to poster
ity. That vision was responsible
for the Revolutionary war. 1t was
the stimulus in the war Of 1912.
And when the Mexican question
assumed grave proportions the
same thought was at the fore in
the national mind. Not so much
the interest Of our own posterity
as that of our fellow man was the
stimulus in the brush with Spain.
But throughout her whole life this
country has never failed to place
the true interests Of posterity be-
fore present ease and comfort.
What can be said, then, Of the
young man or women who is not
concerned over the outcome Of
this struggle? That they have no
concern for the best interests Of
their own. Present ease and com
fort weighs more with them than
the future Of their children, or Of |
the race in general.
No nation Of people can ever
come into their own until present
can be subordinated to future. No
present is ever entirely what it
should or could be. By the sacri-
fee Of the present we stand a
chance Of realizing on the future.
[f all else is to be subordinated to
he present, there is every posi-
oility Of there being no future
worthy Of the name.
