VOTE NEXT TUESDAY
Acting Chairman Fred. W.
Bynum Appeals to The
People of Richmond Coun-
ty to Uphold The Presi-
dents Hands Next Tues
day.

Because of our interest IN the war at
this time it is natural that some of the
voters of this county should overlook the
fact that next Tuesday, November 5th,
is Election day. But, in some respects,
it is one of the most important elections
that has ever been held. We have been
told in what ways we, at home, can do
"our bit" but every man in this county
who can vote should do so on next Tues
day.
Senator Simmons and Congressman L.
D. Robinson should be returned to Wash
ington and it is nothing short of patri-
otto duty for every voter to vote the
straight Democratic ticket next Tuesday
and help our President carry on the war
to successful conclusion. 1t would be
most unwise to change any of our Con-
gressmen or Senators from this State at
this time. Let every man vote as if the
winning of this war depended on his vote
and we will again put Richmond County
in the forefront as one of the Democratic
banner counties of the State.

When the great American answer to
the Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign en-
tered the domains of Germany that this
loan of six billion dollars had been over
subscribed, it shook the very foundations
of the German Empire. Let's make the
German empire fall by sending word
through our votes that the HANDS of
President Wilson have been UPHELD by
returning an overwhelming Democratic
Congress. All that is necessary to &C.
complish this is for every man to go to
the polls and vote the straight Demo
cratic ticket next Tuesday.

AN IMPORTANT DUTY.

The treasury department has issued
a statement that insurance amounting
to almost $4,000. 100000 has already
been applied for under the provisions
of the military and naval insurance
act, but that this great total is only a
beginning-in other words, that there
are still many thousands of soldiers
and sailors who have not yet awaited
themselves of the privileges conferred
by this law.
Secretary McAdoo has said of this
plan for safeguarding Americas serv-
ice men and their families that it is
1.-The most just and humane provision
ever made by any nation for its SOL
diers."
Under this act every soldier and
sailor is automatically given partial
and limited protection, payable only to
his wife, child, or widowed mother;
but that provision expires on Febru-
airy IL, 1918. Therefore, it is impor-
tant, not alone to the country's fight
ing men, but>to their families and de-
pendents as we1h that before that date
they take advantage of the full pro-
lection placed at their disposal by the
government.
This insurance can run as high as
$4,000, and is payable to a wife,
child, grandchild, parent, brother or
sister. In case of the death OF a SOL
der or sailor insured for the full
amount, or $4,000, his beneficiary
will receive from the government
$3.50 per month for 240 months, or
total of $13,s00. In other words,
the government will pay $5.75 per
month per 81, 900 of insurance for 240
months, or twenty years. The insur-
ance holds good SO long as the insured
man remains in the service, after
which he is given an opportunity to
convert it into another form of insur-
ance, so that what he pays in pre-
miums in the meantime need not be
lost.
Furthermore, the law provides for
the re-education and rehabilitation of,
and monthly compensation for. men
who may be totally disabled.
This plan should be given thought
full consideration by every man in, or
about to enter. the service. and by his
relatives and others who have his well
| fare at heart.

In fixing the blame for the break
down of transportation under govern
ment control the buck has been passed
to the old management. 1t is charged
with negligence in not keeping its To-
comotives in a condition of efficiency.
The fact that the roads were not per-
mitted to make enough money to keep
up their rolling stock seems to have
been overlooked. Negligence is a good
word but it cannot be made to apply
to the railroads alone.

Lured by the fumes of incense, they
entered and saw many idols repre-
senting goddesses, clothed in cotton
garments Officiating at the ceremon-
les were women dressed in bright cot
tons, and decked out with feathers
and ornaments of precious metals.
The Spaniards, excited by this scene
of idol worship, rushed in, smashed
the idols, triumphantly placed an
image of the Virgin on the altar,
and he'd mass before the eyes of the
sstonished priestesses and native wor-
shippers. Archaeologists have never
ceased to regret the fervor of the
Spaniards, who thus unheedingly de-
stroyed unique treasures of Magyar
civilization.
The Spaniards named the place Isla
de Mujeres for future reference and
