l Nat was a great OutpOurlng
of the people of Rockingham and
Richmond county that assembled
in the opera house here last Sum
day afternoon at three o'clock for
the patriotic mass meeting. The
opera house was filled, floor and
gallery, and the isles were block
ed. A conservative estimate
would place the number of those
unable to gain admission at ESQ;
others say fully 1000 were turned
away.
1t was a great occasion, and a
great cause called them. The
purpose of the assembly was to
hear Mayor Frank R. McNinch,
of Charlotte, deliver All address
on behalf of the Third Liberty
Loan bonds. How we'll he
succeeded,t this account will detail
further along.
MIR. w. L. Parsons presided.
Rev. Z. V. Robertson delivered the
invocation. The choir of one
hundred voices, from the various
Cnurhes sang Onward Christian
Soldiers" Mr.. w. N. Everett
then introduced the speaker of
the day, Mr.. McNinch. At the
beginning, Mr.. McNinch took
occasion to explain the absence
of Major Dupont, the French
officer who was scheduled to be
present. He stated that Major
Dupont had fully intended com.
ing, but on the day before had
sent him this laconic written
message, Regrets. Am unable
for military reasons to leave
camp Saturday or Sunday
This, said the speaker, was self
explanatory, and the audience
could surmise the important mill
tary necessity that might have
detained him. But the absence
of the French officer was no dis
appointment after Mr.. McNincf
once got started" His address
was the best regarding the wal
that has so far been delivered
here. It was clear, forciful anc
emphatic. No words were min
ced; he called upon our people tt
, show their colors. "You mus
be for or against" said he. "Ther'
is no middle of the road ground
The die is cast. There can be nj

LOSES TWO HUSBANDS
IN WAR; TAKES THIRD

LONDON.-To have lost two hus-
bands and married third during
the war has been the experience of
Lady Michael Wardell, one of Lon
don's May Day brides.
She is daughter of Sir Daniel
Cooper, an Australian millionaire.
She married first, the late Viscount
Northland, who lost his life in ac-
tive service in 1915, and left a will
in which he expressed the hope that
his widow would marry again. She
fulfilled his hope when she married
Captain Godfrey Mills, who was
killed year ago.
Her third husband is also a British
officer, holding a commission in the
Royal Hussars.
