lend YOUR N

If you lend your money to the gov
eminent, you may be quite sure that
it is going to be used for some ma
tional purpose-to prosecute the
war successfully, to carr fore, equip,
arm, and support our soldiers in
France, to be used by our navy in
Kidding the seas of the murderous U
boats.
But if you spend your money even
with the belief that by putting it into
the channels of trade others into
whose hands it comes will lend it to
the government, you will have done
something the patriotism of which
may be very questionable.
First, you have withdrawn from
the supply of material of the nation
something to replace which in the
market will require labor and mate
rial which should be devoted to war
purposes.
Second, the person to whom you
pay your money may also use it to
purchase things requiring material
and labor which should be devoted
to war purposes. And the person to
whom he pays it may repeat the OPP
Grafton.
But when you lend your money to
the government instead of spending
it, you will at once lessen the drain
to a certain extent on our country's
resources, it's material, it's labor, and
it's transportation facilities, and in
addition you supply your government
with money to be used in winning the
war.
Every purchase of a Thrift stamp
is an additional act toward bringing
victory to America and her allies.

A COUNTY FAIR.

It rests with the people of Hen
derson county to say whether or not
they will have a fair this year. They
have been asked to gather at their
school houses on Saturday night of
this week and determine their wish
in the matter.
1t will be necessary to have at
least $500 to make the fair a worthy
one. The State authorities will give
$1OO of this and probably the county
authorities will give an equal
amount. 1t is an important matter
in which all the people should be in
terested. Each school district should
on Saturday night signify its willing
ness to raise some money for the
fair or it will be a failure. These
reports should be reported to Presi-
dent c.. F. Bland at once. If they
are encouraging the fair will be held.
If they are discouraging a fair will
not be forced on the people. 1t is
not a money making enterprise for
any one and the burden of financing
it should be distributed.
The people must help generally or
there will be no fair.

ton hitherto unknown in conflicts
between nations. His book had
small circulation before the war
started and his ideas appeared so
impractical that few people took
him seriously. But the German OBJ
ject long ago is perfectly apparent
now. The peoples who have faith in
themselves and in each other and
in the ordered ways of law and JUS
tice, by which they have sought in
the past to regulate both their do
nestle and international relations,
are forced to fight for existence.
The self-governing nations have
long had a unity in their funda-
mental attitudes which they did not
realize fully until this fearful war
endangered and revealed them. Now,
the best of what they had establish
ed or dreamed of establishing in the
way of popular government, is en-
dangered by the menace of German
arms.
1t is little wonder that America
became involved and has taken her
place with the leagues of liberty rep
resented in the galaxy of the ma
tions allied against German Oppres-
sion. Germany must be beaten If
the world shall remain a fit place In
which civilized peoples may, with
safety, abide.

G VERSUS RIGHT.

In a speech at Bremen on March
%, 1915, Kaiser Wilhelm had this
to say: eff you ask me how shall I
build up the Kingdom of God?' my
answer is: 'be a good German
stand by the Fatherland. Do your
duty and fulfill your mission. Seek
to submerge yourself in German
spirit, in German mind. Be Ger
man in piety and will, which simply
,meaaS be true, faithful, and valiant.
Help as best you a toward our VIC
tory; help to make our Fatherland
grow and wax mighty"
Since the three evil spirits, Metz
:sche, Treitschke and Bernhard en-
tered the German mind the one am
bition of those in authority has been
world CONQUEST. The teachings of
the ioWiiy Nazarene have been held
In contempt because they exalt
mercy and humanity above physical
might and power. The one idea has
been to weed out the smaller nations
in the same a herdsman
would weaklings from his flock and
preserve only the strong and healthy.
Nietzsche, the prophet of the
mailed fist" preached the gospel of
pride and might and his teachings so
infamed the minds of the youths of
Germany that they became willing
to spill their life's blood for the Ger
man ideal. To him the teachings of
Christ make an effeminate people
who should not be regarded as a part
or parcel of those whose ideals have
been fixed for them by dynastic
aims and ambitions which could only
be translated into reality through
s~ubservience to authority n by the
unrestricted use of force. And so
with his contemporary, Trietzschke,
another German philosopher, who
contended that weakness in men and
nations is the result of wrong-doing
and when destroyed right is enthron-
ed. According to his theory weak
ness must always be condemned as
the most disastrous and despicable of
crimes, the unforgivible sin of poll
tics. He preached and Germany be-
1ieved. =
But it remained for F. Won Bern
hardi, a German general, to put the
intentions of his superiors in black
and white in his history Germany
and the next war;" for he boldly de-
clared that the German. claim to a
great position in the world might
lead to a wal similar to the Seven
Years War. Predicting a victory
full and complete he admonished all
true Germans to gather round the
Emperor, when the critical time
should come, ready to give their
blood and their treasure for the
honor, the greatness, and the future
of the German nation. Through war
to victory" was his slogan. And, al
though other peoples and nations
did not take him seriously at the
time, the war he predicted came in
all its fury and has been carried on

THE "SONS OF REST"

The farmers of the State are ad
monished to increase the production
of foodstuffs this year over last il
the face of an acute shortage of la.
Dor due, in a measure, to the call of
thousands of our young men to SER
vice in the army. The need for help
on the farm was never more urgent
than it is today, nor has the remuner-
alton for this class of work been
more attractive. Despite this fact
thousands of able-bodied men of va
rious classes and conditions may be
seen lettering around places of
amusement all over North Carolina
who ought to be engaged in some
profitable employment. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 male persons are
to be found in the State leading
thriftless lives right now who should
be producing food for themselves
and the armies abroad. This is, in
deed, a ~deplorable condition for
which a remedy should be provided
without delay. Every citizen of the
State-and the country-ought to
be a producer during this crisis, if
he is capable of service in any capac-
ity. Those who are unwilling to work
should be compelled to get busy or
go hungry. There is a vagrancy law
On the statute books of North Caro-
lima which would go a long way to-
wards correcting this evil of fdleness
if the authorities are amind to put
nerve and determination behind it.
1t is this:
If any person shall come within
any of the following classes, he shall
be deemed a vagrant, and shall be
fined not exceeding $50, or impris-
oned not exceeding thirty days.
1. Persons wandering or strolling
about in idleness who are able to
work and have no property to sup
port them.
2. Persons leading an idle, i'm
moral or pro1igate life who have no
property to support them and who
are able to work and do not work.
3. All persons able to work having
no property to support them and who
have not some visible and known
means of a fair, honest and reputable
livelihood.
4 Persons having a fixed abode
who have no visible property to sun

LETTING POLITICS REST.

This is election year, but in North
Carolina no paramount issues are at
stake. In fact, there is nothing at
stake except the selection of men to
hold the offices that must be filled.
The State democracy is enjoying an
era of harmony and good feeling, a
condition it has not experienced to
an extent anything like the present
IN a long, long time. Everybody ap-
pears to realize that winning the war
is paramount to every other consid-
Grafton and that we must not neglect
our duty to the republic in this most
trying hour of it's history. The law
requires that an election shall be
held, bat there is going to be mighty
little noise about it this year. The de-
mocracy has a patriotic program to
carry out, first of all, and politics will
be a secondary consideration until
America and her allies shall win a
glorious and a lasting peace.
A Statewide primary is to be held
on Saturday, June 1, for the nomina-
ton of the candidates of all political
parties for State and district Offices.
But it will be an unnecessary expense
this year, for no State officer is OPP
posed for reelection and only three
congressman have opposition. In the
Third district, Congressman Hood
decided to retire on account of i'll
health and there is a contest between
Solicitor Charles L. Alternately, of
Newberne, and United States Mar
shall W. T. Dortch, of GoIdsboro.
Representative Doughton is opposed
in the Eighth district by Hon. Walter
Murphy, of Salisbury; in the Ninth
district the seal of Congressman E.
Yates Webb is sought by Judge w. B.
Council, of Hickory, while Represen-
tatives Small, Kitchen, Pou, Stead
man, Goodwin, Robinson and Weaver
are unOpposed. The State Board of
Elections has declared them the
democratic nominees in their respec-
tive districts. Other nominees, who
were similarly so declared, are: For
United States Senator, F. M. Sim
mons; Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, Walter Clark; Associate JUS
tees of the Supreme Court, Platt D.
~
Walker and William R. Allen; for
member of the Corporation Commits
sion, George P. Pell.
There are contests for judge in
five, only, of the twenty judicial dis
tricts, the Seventh, Thirteenth. Sew
French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1916-1919, 1918-06-06

the most spirited fight being IN the
Seventh district, where Judge Ihos'
II. Calvert, of Wake, is opposed by
w. B. Snow, Police Judge w. e. a
ris. and Percy J. Olive, all of Raleigh
and Wake county, and State Senator
Willie M. Person, of Franklin. In
the Thirteenth district Judge w. ).
Adams has opposition in the person
of John IT. Bennett. Judge E. B..
Cline retired from the bench IN the
Seventeenth and the contest for his
ermine is between M. H. Yount, OF
| Catawba, and T. B.Finley and c: e.
Gilreath, of Wilkes. Judge M. ID
Justice finds two opponents In n
eighteenth district, WEIGH Galloway,
of Transatlantic, and ]. Bis Ray, OF
Yancey, while State Senator W. J.
Hannah, of Haywood, and Capt. A.
M. Fry and former Solicitor Thad D.
Bryson, of Swain, r DESTROYS OF
succeeding Judge Garland Ferguson
in the Twentieth, the latter having
announced his purpose of retiring at
the expiration of the present term.
Twenty solicitors are to be elected
this year and seventeen of these now
holding the positions are asking for
! reelection. Solicitor Abernethy, of
the Fifth district, retires to become
a candidate for congress and Solicitor
| Shaw, of the Sixth, decided not to
run. Solicitor Geo. W. Wilson is OPP
posed in the Fourteenth by j. L.
Jones and Marvin Ritch. The Alb
ernethy vacancy is sought by j. l..
Horton, R. E. Whisnant, J. K. War
rem and z. V. Rawls; while j. Frank
Wooten, Jas. A. Powers and Jno. A.
Gavin is each hoping to succeed So
licitor Shaw in the Sixth district.
There are fewer contests for State
senator and local Offices than usual
over the State and this is apparently
to be the nearest approach to a "po-
liticless year, that North Carolina
has experienced in many a day. And
the people are going to appreciate the
political respite it will bring. Politi-
cal parties are considered necessary
to the maintenance of a proper bal
ance in government. However, other
considerations outweigh this some
times. Besides, there is no aus for
alarm over the management of public
affairs in North Carolina and right
now is the time, if there ever was
such a time, when everybody may
lay aside partisan feeling and join in
the support of the IONS of democrats
and the sons of republicans who are
today in camps and trenches side by
side, wearing the same uniform,
fighting for the same flag, not parti-
sans, but plain Americans" We owe
to these boys, and to our country, an
undivided allegiance. which cannot
be paid by engaging in small scraps
at home. Unless the republicans be-
come "obstreperous" politics will be
given a much needed rest in North
Carolina this year. And why not?

Several cards were given out
for distribution among the men,
bers and friends of our cause, and
| am now requesting that these
cards be turned in to the proper
authorized party or parties by or

Mems Tuesday Night Bible Class

The Mems Tuesday night
Bible class meets in the Baraca
room of the Baptist Church every
Tuesday night.
This class is now one of the
largest classes in the community,
there being twenty-five present
last Tuesday night, and it a
rainy night. The class is doing a
great work, about $4,000 was
given to one family in need
sometime ago by the class. The
class is giving $500 per month
to the orphanage, which is more
than enough to take care of an
orphan.
The class is composed mostly
of men who have little, or no,
opportunity for attending church
or Sunday School on Sundays.
The class is taught by Mr.. w.
Z. Critcher; a deep spiritual at
mosphere pervades the class,
and the men enter into their
work with much JOY and zest.
The class will be one year old
the first of June, and prepara-
tions are under way to fttingly
observe this the first anniversary
Of the class.
By special request, the pastor,
Mr.. Trneblood, will repeat to the
class next Tuesday night, his
sermon on: THE Bible Plan of
Salvation", which he recently
preached at a Sunday morning
service. This sermon is illustrated
and made exceeding plain by the
use of the blackboard. All men
are invited.

Dear Sir
A few lines tonight a,
we can't 90 out anywhere as W,
are quarantined. We went undel
quarantine yesterday and we are
preparing to leave and it looks as
If we will leave in a very short
time as they are examining US
now and selecting those who are
tit for oversea service. The ones
that are not fit are placed off tc
themselves, so you can see our
time isn't far off, and if any OF
the people want to see their
friends and relatives before they
go to France, they had better
pay them an early visit.
Well, we took all of our gas in
structions last week and it was
real exciting. We were out in a
held and gas shells started to
bursting all around US, so we had
to hurry and get our gas masks
on. One boy was a little slow in
getting his on and he was taken
off in an ambulance to a hospital.
After that was over we had to 90
in an air-tight house filled with
gas, 50 you see we are very well
prepared to go across.
We go on target practice with
our new rifles this week and we
also get paid off this week and
we are turning in all of our cloth
es that are unserviceable and
getting new clothes in their place
and everybody says we are going
to leave next week and we are
willing and ready to go, as we are
sure tired of Greenville but sure
wish we could pay old Roanoke
Rapids one morevisitbefore wego
across.
We were all very glad to Sc our
friend, Bruce Tillery, today. He
and some of his friends from
school in Asheville came over to
see US and we all enjoyed having
him over to see us. He sure looks
good in his school uniform. Only
wish he and a few more Roanoke
Rapids boys were going across
with us. Guess | must close.
