AI.L. ENLISTED MEN.

Every true patriot, no matter what
his age or occupation, is enlisted for
winning the war Not every man ca q
carry a gun and go to the front; some
must stay at home and support those
who go; and the thing none of US
should ever forget is that upon our
efforts at home depends as much as
upon the efforts of the soldiers who
are doing the actual fighting. The
whole thing would tumble down like
a house of cards without workers at
home. 1t is up to every man to be
willing and eager to do his possible
wherever the Government determines
he can render the best service. In his
Labor day message President Wilson
states forcefully the Importance of the
laborer in the following sentences:
Labor day, 1918, is not like any
Labor day that we have known. Labor
day was always deeply significant
with US. Now it is supremely signi-
ficant. Keenly as we were aware a
year ago of the enterprise of life and
death upon which the nation had en-
barked, we did not perceive it's mean
ing as clearly as we do now. We
knew that we were all partners and
must stand and strive together, but
we did not realize as we do now that
we are all enlisted men, members Of
single army, Of many parts and
many tasks, but commanded by sin
gle obligation, our faces set towards a
single object. We now know that
every tool in every essential industry
is weapon. and a weapon welded
for the same purpose that an army
rifle is wielded-a weapon which if
we were to lay down no rifle would be
of any use.
"The laborer is not only as much
needed as the soldier. It is his war
The soldier is his champion and repre-.
sensitive. To fail to win would be tt
imperil all that labor has striven fol
and held dear since freedom first had
it's dawn and his struggle for JUS
tice began"

People who are able to do 50 but
yet refuse to buy War Savings stamps
and Liberty bonds are going to want
to hang themselves after the war for
failing to support the Government un-
der whose protection they enjoy
rights and privileges greater than are
vouchsafed to any other people on
earth. They may think it will be for
gotten, but they are sadly mistaken
That man whose deeds proclaim that
he proposes to let others furnish the
men and the means to carry on the
war while he attends strictly to his
own business is a marked man, and
some day he is going to want rocks
and hills to fall upon him. There is
no sorrier specimen of humanity than
the man who is not willing to go the
limit for those who are fighting to
protect his life and property. Such
men ought to be made to come across
They deserve no consideration and
should receive none.

Editors of quite number of publ
cations have been reminding subscrib-
ers that the Government requires all
newspapers and periodicals to go on
cash-in-advance subscription basis
the first of October. It isn't neces-
sary for this paper to serve that kind
of notice. We went on a cash-in-ad-
vance basis the first Of last February
and we like it so much better than the
old way that we would no more think
Of going back to the ancient method

would think of going back to breaking
clods in the low grounds with shop
hammer. The publishers who will he

have done voluntarily will have only
one advantage. When they go on a
cash basis under compulsion, through
Government mandate, they can say
to the sensitive guy who accuses you
of doubling his "credit," that it isn't
a question Of credit but question Of
complying with the low. The writer

"Show me a Democratic candidate

against Germany, has failed to do q
mans part in winning this war, and
although he may have been nominal.
ed by every Democratic organization,
from precinct meetings to statewide
primary, I'll see him in heA before I'll

So Governor Beckett is reported to
have exclaimed in speech before the
Labor day celebration at Spencer. It
must be admitted that His Excellency
was using some langwidge. The Gov
ernor was urging his hearers to vote
like they fight" Consider your bal
lot bullet" he said, "and make sure
before it is cast that it is aimed
straight at the heart Of the Hun"
Good advice. "Stand at the ballot
box in the same spirit as the boys
stand in the trenches. Strip yourself
of every political and personal preju-
dice; remember only the common ene-
my of your country and of all man
kind, and then, in the fear of God and
with reverence for your own consci-
ence. cast your ballot"
This is the law and the phophets.
Take heed.
Take the Senatorial ticket, More
head and Simmons, if you please. The
Governor took it. He quoted Lincoln's s
remark upon certain occasion to the
effect that the American people had
too much sense to swap horses in
the middle Of the stream. The re-
mark has been used a time or two
since then and it never applied better
than right now.
(which of these two," the Governor
asked, "is the best war horse? Would
1t help to win the war to swap SIM
MONS who is at the head Of the Sen
ate, for Morehead. who, under the
rules, would stand at the foot? Would
Morehead have a greater desire tc
WIN the war, greater ability in fran
ing and getting laws enacted for that
purpose? In a word, would More.
head weigh and count more in the
Senate for winning the war than Sim
mons? If so, then it is your duty tc
your God and to your country to vote
for Morehead although you may be
in the habit of voting the Democratic
ticket. On the other hand, if Simmons
would keep in closer and more SYM
pathetic touch with the President. if
by reason of hs long training and ex
perence, he can do more in framing
and getting enacted wise war meas
ures than Morehead, then it is YOU
duty to God and your country to vot,
for Simmons, although you NAV b,
in the habit of voting the Republical
ticket. Apply this principle to ever,
candidate from United States Senate
to township constable, and you vii
cast the ballot of patriot and not
partisan"
Past question, that is the way t.
cast the ballot of patriot. Vo.e 70
the men whose war records ar
straight and who can do most to hell
bring the war to a speedy and Sue
cessful conclusion Vote like yo
would shoot if you were in the from
line Make your vote count for win
ming the war. This is no time to vast

There is good deal Of talk through
out the north as to the desirability OF
fixing the price Of cotton. There are
those who want the price fixed and
who want it fixed low. The problem
is a big one: but there Is some sig
nificancc in the fact that the demand
for price fixing comes mainly from
people who were opposed to price fix
ing in 1919. when cotton fell to half
the cost of production. Then the pres
ent advocates Of price fixing were ad-
rocatcs Of the doctrine OF supply and
demand. Desiring TO be reasonable
and just. we are not prepared TO say
that We are opposed to price fixing
now: but We are here 10 say that the
government will do well to consider It's
action most carefully before taking
any final steps along this line. The
farmers Of the south are az patriotic
as any other class Of people In this
country. and they will so as far in
support of this war rs will any other
class: but they are positively unable to
raise cotton on the 1914 basis. and II
there Is any attempt to require any
thing like that next years cotton sup
ply is going to he far shorter than this
years supply. But in our judgment the
best informed man In America on this
subject Is Hon. Jno. L. McLaurin OF
Bcnncttsvillc. and If the government Is
really contemplating any action in this
connection we mink it will do well to
consult Mr.. McLaurin as TO the best
way to 20 about the matter.
