STATE PRESS
Presidents Bible Message to
Soldiers,

According to a dispatch from
Washington, Bibles for American
soldiers and sailors, to be given by
the Scripture Gift Mission Of Phila-
de!phia, will carry a foreword by
President Wilson, urging the troops
to diligently read the scriptures.
The President has written this in
scription: "The Bible is the Word
of Life. l beg that you will read it
and find this out for yourself-read,
not little snatches here and there,
but long passages that will really
be the road to the heart of it.
you will find it full of real men
and women not only, but also of
things you have wondered about and
been troubled all your life, as men
have been always, and the more you
read the more it will become plain
to you what things are worth while
and what are not, what things make
men happy-loyalty, right dealings,
speaking the truth, readiness to give
everything for what they think their
duty, and, most of all, the wish that
they may have the real approval of
the Christ, who gave everything for
them-and the things that r guar
anteed to make men unhappy-self-
ishness, cowardice, greed, and every
thing that is low and mean.
when you have read the Bible
you will know that it is the Word of
God, because you will have found in
it the key to your own heart, your
own happiness and your own duty.
(Signed) Woodrow Wilson"
That is a grand message for the
president of the United States to
send to our American soldiers per-
sonally. That same message can be
taken to heart by every mar outside
of the army also, as well as by men
and women everywhere. - Burlington

The 1. w. w. Threat Against the
Poor.

The Industrial Workers of the
World say that, if necessary, they'll
see to it that there's no wheat crop
in this country this year.
The rich can get food whatever
happens. If it costs $40 a loaf for
bread, the rich will easily get their
bread. So the threat of the |. w.
w. is against the poor, against the
common man, woman and child of
America.
Evidently the Industrial Workers
of the World are intent on helping
Germany win. They are assisting
the most autocratic government on
earth to extend its rule over the
world.
We suggest that the Industrial
Workers of the World migrate to
Germany and do their fighting in
the open on their own side.-Burl'
ington News.

we are glad to give Mr.. Clement
credit for this service he has done
the state. But for the State House
Gang and the Old Ring Clement
would have been governor and re-
ceived full credit for this progressive
legislation. The old party had to
steal his thunder to keep their heads
above water and we give them cred
it for this wisdom, but the honor is
not primarily theirs. 1t is no great
virtue for any man to be honest be-
cause the law compels him to be.
Ever since the time publishing cam
paign expenses was first agitated,
and up to the enactment of a law
compelling candidates to do this,
there has been but two candidates
for governor who have been con-
scientiously, politically..honest in this
state, and they are Percival w.
and Frederick G.. Fleet
wood. We are republican to the
backbone, but we hope to have a
sense Of fairness sufficient to give
honor to whom honor is due.

In addition to this central camp or
cantonment center, there will be other
locations for specific divisions of this
vast array of guardsmen. There will
be an aviation field of hundreds of
acres; a remount station of equal
area a rifle range, artillery range, this
latter having as its objective Kings
Mountain of revolutionary fame. 1t is
approximately Is miles distant from
the main cantonment.
The aviation squad will number $500
airmen with half that number of ma
chimes. This will be- stationed east
Of the city.
The improved section of Myers Park,
the handsome and fashionable resi-
Dental suburb of Charlotte, will be
utilized for some division Of the
guardsmen. perhaps for the aviation
corps.
There will be 10000 horses in the
artillery division and another site will
be requisitioned for the accommoda-
ton of these.
And, then. there will be several
hundred acres used for maneuve-
grounds, located six miles east of the
city on a stretch of sandy loan that
can be easily used during any period
Of excessive precipitation.
To get the camp for Charlotte there
has been no s~tintedness on the part Of
the progressive people OF Charlotte.
Whatever charges had to be met for
the use Of any and all Of the nearly TO-.
600 acres available, have been borne
by the business men of Charlotte who
have an appreciation of what 1t means
to have a city of equal size to the
present proportions Of Charlotte in
point Of population spring up almost
over night just on the outskirts.
The construction work will have
been completed at the present rate Of
progress by the time the last contin-
gent Of the $4,000 or more soldiers
who are coming here will arrive. A
veritable army Of laborers are engaged
now clearing up underbrush, burning
the green trees that have been felled
from historic forests. laying beds for
the concrete military roads, building
barracks and mess houses. ~leveling
and filling up bitches and otherwise
converting the landscape of cotton
fields and wooded lands into a city for
the habitation Of man.
