REIDSVILLE. Ca, Aug. S.-William
j. Harris. candidate for United States
senator. covered two counties today,
Tatnal and Gambler. speaking here
and at Meter to two splendid audi
onces which gave him renewed as
surance of his strength in both COM
munities.
Administration loyalty was evined
both in the reception given Mr.. Har-
ris on his arrival and the cordial
manner in which he was applauded
during his address The fight in this
section has developed into a straight
out and out contest between Mr. Har-
ris and Senator Hardwcik, and there
We're many expressions to the effect
that the loyal element would give both
counties to MIR. Harris.
Accepting that situation. Mr.. Har-
ris in his address made his principal
attack upon Senator Hardwick, dis
missing the other candidates in a few
words, and with the suggestion that
if they are sincere in their purpose
to defeat the junior senator, their
proper course of action is withdrawal
from the race.
"Hardwick has said that when
get to Washington, | will call every
day at the White House to get my
orders from President Wilson. He
charges that I will be merely a
mOuthpiece of the president. Well, l
want to tell you this: If l can he
| home safely, | will not hesitate to
call at the White House every day.
But if ] do, l won't find any Hard
wicks there nor any LaFollettes. But
| will find your communicating chief
and the generals and admirals of your
army and navy there, discussing ways
and means to end the war quickly.
"Hardwick also charges that l am
trying to ride into office on Wood
| row Wilson's coattails. He says
Howard tried to- get on the coattail
but couldn't. Well, don't know who
ought to know more about getting OF
coattails than Hardwick He got on
the presidents coattail four years
ago and then repudiated him. And I
don't know of anyone who tried ha'
err to get on Tom Watsons coattail
than Hardwick He tried so hard
that Tom watson had to go to Florida
for rest, and when he got back he
had changed from the frock coat with
long tail to it to coat that had
practically no tail at ALL
Mr. Harris also presented his own
record of service. He was cordially
received throughout his address, and
many assurances of support were Civ
en- him.

EVERETT E. SHANK
/ LIN AT HOME.

Everett E. Shanklin, who was one
of the first to leave Weakley coun-
ty for the training camp, returned
home Thursday on an eight-day fur
Tough. There was great host of
his kinsmen and friends, both young
and old, met at his home Saturday
night and spent a very pleasant ev-
ening
After preaching by Elder C. c..
McDearmon, at New Hope church
Sunday morning, Everett was called
on for a talk along any line he might
be impressed to talk on. He told of
some of the things in camp life, and
how much the soldiers appreciated
the letter from home, as well as the
help coming through the Y. M. C. A.
and the Red Cross; also how much
he felt we should take an active part
in not only supporting the Y, M. G..
A. and the Red Cross, but engage in
buying the third Liberty Loan Bond.
Purchasing two bonds himself, he
showed that he was not only willing
to give his life work for his coun-
try, but that he was willing to lend
the money back to the government
that the American flag might wave
over the German empire. He also
stated after the war was over we
would all rejoice together in know
ing the American flag was triumph
antly waving over European soil.
After Everett had closed his speech
Brother McDearmon asked for other
remarks and Everett's father made a
short talk which was filled with pa
triotism and love for his son. He
said, whom l have labored hard for
Fl years to rear, and it seems hard
for me to have him separated from
my home, yet l realize that l must
make one of my greatest sacrifices
in his response to his country's call"
Mr. Shanklin is taking an active part
in the sale of the Liberty Bonds.
Bro. Lit Petit, Roscoe Shanklin,
W. W. Jones and Arthur Wilkerson
also made speeches, on what those
might do who are left behind in sup
porting the various causes.
A similar meeting was probably
never held at New Hope, showing as
much patriotism with love and affec- /
ton toward father and sons, neigh
bors and friends. The congregation
gave Everett their hand, bidding
him God speed, and the church, with
its pastor, prays Gods richest bles-
sings upon him and that he will be
permitted after the war is over to
return to his home which is now sad,
and by that return the same made
