INJUSTICE TO SHERIFF CASE

10 SHLhIFF JASE
, 1t is about all over and Sheriff M.
Allard Case is pursuing the even
tenor of his way and tearing up
stills. .
Quite q furore was recently Great
ed in local circles when a Washing
ton correspondent of the Asheville
Citizen wrote of a letter received in
Washington from a resident of Salu-
da who said there were numerous il
licit distilleries in that immediate
section and that the sherifs Of Polk
and Henderson county were in SYM
pathy with the evi1-doers.
, This remarkable statement was re-
garded as a great injustice to Sheriff
Case, who has made a gratifying re-
cord for destroying dis~tilleries. 1t
is understood that the person writing
the letter was a little out Of sorts
perhaps over some personal g~rievan-
ces, and the matter has blown over
so far al local comment goes and he

The Secretary of the Treasury to
Mr.. American Citizen: If you will
save Sab l will give you eighty-sev-
en- cents. Or if you prefer to loan
the Government $3.50 for five years,
I will give y~ou~$17.4O for use of it.
This, in brief, is the plan in operation
for the sale of Thrift Stamps and war
Savings Certificates. The people have
never been offered a safer OF a o
attractive investment than the sale
of these STAMPS and certificates af-
fords. North Carolina is expected to
take $48, 800, 900 of them during the
year 1918 and every patriotic citizen
ought to buy every one he car pos
sibly pay for.

The people of North Carolina have
never had anything presented that
will do them more practical good
than the Thrift campaign offers. 1t
represents thrift, economy and pa
triotism. Have you ever stopped to
consider what the distribution of
$50, 600, 900 of actual savings in North
Carolina five years hence will mean
to the people?

One shudders to contemplate the
anticipated attack upon the allied
front in France by the Kaiser's for
ces which is scheduled for early

that the Germans shall not pass
and civilization devoutly hopes this
confidence is well, founded.

Many Springdale people will read

Long will be better remembered by
Springdale people as Lawrence, or
Capt Long. When we had cur lit
tie brush with Spain a number of
years ago he was praeticing attorney
of this place, and when a company
was organized here he was elected
captain. Col. w. G. Ownbey of the
l42nd F. A, now in France, was a
member of the company. The
company saw no active service get
ting no farther than Chickamauga
Park, where they were in camp for a
few months When the company
was mustered out Capt. Long enlist
ted in the regular army, and has been
in the service ever since. Before
going across he was attached to the
coast artillery, and is now Colonel of
the seth regiment of artillery. His
letter follows:

very few are getting hurt, compared
with the number that are engaged.
