The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1918-11-06
TO THE coLoRED PEOPLE OF
GREENE COUNTY

Don't fail to show your loyalty and
patriotism to the United War Work
Campaign. We have a fine chance
to show the old county Of Greene,
the garden spot of the South, just
who we are, and how much we weigh
as an asset to it and to the War Cam
paign A big drive will begin on
the 18th, and continue to the 18th
of this month, for our county to raise
I$170,OOO,O0O for the comfort, spirit
lual and physical, welfare Of our sol
diers and sailors at home and over
seas. This fund is to make our sol
diers better men; and our men bet
ter soldiers. The morale Of our err
my is Of the greatest Importance in
the whining Of the war.
Great is the love and patriotism Of
the American who goes through dam
ger, over infested waters to the hem
isphere Of the East, and lay down his
life for the freedom of the seas and
the liberty of the world. viii you
administer to his needs, his wants,
and help comfort him while he
fights, suffers and gives his life's
blood to make America and the whole
world safe for the living of humani-
ty?
Let the war be fought to. finish,
only the end can bring honor to the
allies, and the victory alone can
crown the head of our army. Let
Germany be taught a lesson which
her posterity viii never forget; one
that will be an inspiration to the
world toward the brotherhood of
man. Let her be taught that the
rule of force and the dominance of
the sword rather than the spirit of
justice, means nothing but the de-
struction of property, the cost Of re-
sources, the sacrifice Of justice and
the shedding of blood; more to her
than to others, who nestle in her bos-,
ON. God forbid that the Americans
will ever allow one molecule of Prus-
sianism to enter into its life and de-
file her democracy. May the valor of
our allies be preventative to its
prevalence, and the blood of her
veins, through victory, cure to her
sting.
This campaign will keep it out Of |
our democracy; it will strengthen the
yalor,Qf our sailors, and it viii lessen
the blood through victory.
Let every man, woman and child, |
church, school and organization, put
on the robe of patriotism and wear
it every day at cost, or as d finan-
cial sacrifice to the campaign until
the drive is over. This win only
cost US little money; but life's blood
to our boys at the front.
Every state is giving its part, and
every county has its quota. The col
ored people have a part in the quota
Of Greene county to raise, which is
$4,000, but we are going to $780,
co. Let US bring up our quota and
put the county lover the top" If
we do this, we will be called good
patriotic citizens; if we fail, | don't
know what we will be called. 1t will
not be colored citizen, black man nor
negro, "darky" or Niger" but
Stacker" the worst Of the
last two. Give them no chance to
call us slackers. 1t will rob us of
Americas greatest patriot
SIN.
$4,000 has already been pledged
oy the executive committee at
5reeGeville,
Let every community in the eoun-
y of Greene stand behind its cap
ain and lieutenants.
A local soliciting team will begin
he campaign today in the city.
Yours for $4,000 and putting the
county Of Greene tower the top"
ROY JENNINGS OLDEN.
