Rev. r. v. Birdsall, pastor Of the
Orleans Methodist circuit, has pur-
chased a new Ford car from Wise Il
Cobb. The people of his charge have
been wishing that he might ride in a
car, and realizing that the best way
to make their wishes materialize was
to circulate a subscription paper and
boost him. They did so, raising $240,
which will go a long way toward the
purchase. He appreciates the kind
ness of his people very much.

Worth Fighting For

CHALL this little girl grow up in the sort
of American home know, healthy and
- happy? Shall she have the advantage Of
living and learning in free land, under free in
situations? Shall such children develop into the
Liberty -loving citizens that free America may
be proud Of?
For over two hundred years Americans have
fought vaiantly andSdied CALAMITY. to win for
themselves and hand down to their posterty the
blessings of liberty. justice, self-government and
equal opportunity. This precious heritage, bought
at so great price, is threatened.
The question which today confronts America
nation, and you an individual, is
whether not free America
is worth fighting for
Are American children in this and all future
generations to receive unmpared the legacy of
freedom of which now the custodians, or
shall their country be turned over bodily to the
brutal. rapacious power mad enemy which has
forced into this war?
This question cannot be answered by word of
mouth, but by deeds alone.

THE FRENCH ADVANCE
TWO AND A HALF MILES
WILSON LED ALL THE MARKETS

Sska.sfs. .STiSSi - -
The Wilson Tobacco Market
which opens on the goth of this
month or Tuesday, will inaugurate
a season which means a large
amount of tobacco will be sold here
at high prices and this should bring
money to this community and large
trade to our merchants.
In this connection we desire
call the ttention of our advertise
to the fact that the Daily Times l
sues three times a day, striking e.
cry train out of Wilson in the after
noon, while the Semi-Weekly Times
issues twice a week on Tuesdays
and Fridays, covering eastern
North Carolina with a paper, not on
ly helping the tobacco market but
also bringing trade to our city.
1t is a matter of just pride to all
our people that Wilson led all the
markets of the state in the sale OF
tobacco last year by more than five
million pounds.

The newest bright tobacco districts

growers. The production of velvet

among the very best for raising live

Protest Against Economic Conditions
The newspaper comment here
seems to indicate that the food Tlots
throughout the country are an ex-
preston of growing social unrest
among the people and to reflect the
belief that the empire is advancing
toward social crisis. The riots
are spreading, involving alike the
poor and the middle classes, who
feel impelled to protect against eco
nomic conditions.
1t is remarked that the uprlsings
are often anti-capitalistic in nature,
the mobs attacking and destroying
the property of the wealthy and
yoicing anger at evidence of luxury
Geisha girls have been stoned as
they have driven through the streets
in automobiles and the houses OF
T the rich have been assailed. While
the war has created millionalres
and increased the luxuries OF the
rich, it has also increased the mis-
cry of the poor because of insuffi'
cient wages being paid. Factory
hands especially are fomented by
the ringleaders of the riots, which
are the first of the kind to occur
since Japan was opened to western
civilization.
Disorders broke out in Toxic on
Tuesday night A crowd of five
thousand, which was prevented from
congregating in the park, marched
to the Gina, the great retail thor
Oughfare of the city, where they
stoned and damaged 200 stores anc
restaurants, raided rice depots anc
unsuccessfully attacked the ministry
of ineries. Numerous arrests wert
made. Toxic tonight is occupied by
heavy detachments of police and in
fantry. The newspapers are forbid
den to publish news Of any kline
relative to the rice riots.

The campaign to aid the Jews III
the war stricken area of Europe was
opened last night in the Court House
with eloquent addresses and urging
appeals from our people to aid IN
an enterprise whcich commends IT.
self to the great heart OF the peoplt
of America and Wilson County. AS
was so forcibly pointed out last
night, the Jews have given instint-
edly to every call without asking
to what purpose the money would
be placed.
Last year alone and unaided they
raised $1O0, 100000 to help their
brethren who are suffering untold
agony and want in Russian and in
other war stricken areas. The!

only come to us because the burden
is greater than they can bear
The solicitors are out today The

and next day. Don't fail to give
something no matter how small the
donation.
/ At the meeting last evening Rev
! Mr.. Bethea, Recor of st. Timothy

! church, presided, introducing the
speakers with appropriate comment
Messrs. Elmer Oettinger, H. e
; Connor, Jr., and Col. John F. Bru'
ton, in the order amed, addressed
. the assemblage. Following a ler-
vent prayer for the success OF the
| cause, Rev. Bethea during his in
PRODUCTION of Mr.. Elmer Oettingel
emphasized the necessity for aiding
this cause. He stated that no mind
could grasp, neither could words ex-
press the intense suffering the Jews
| had undergone in Poland and other
countries in the war zone. He pre-
dicted that North Carolina and Will
son County, ever generous, would &C
over the top, for Wilson never fails
to do the right thing.
Mr.. lEmer Oettinger opened his
address by saying the Jews in Po
land and in Russia were in situa
tion where they were compelled tC
fight each other. They had beer
drafted into the armies of both Rus
sia and Germany. Poland had suf
fered more than Belgium.
Both armies fought over this ter
ritory time and time again. Las
year, the Jews of America raiset
$10O,000,000, but this year the.
cannot carry the burden alone
is stated that 100000 Jews ar
suffering in Poland, Roumania ant
Serbia where the Jews compose
large part OF the population.
A number of syagogues were de
stroyed and Rabbis mistreated an
shot. He read extracts from tn
diary of captured soldier descrit
ing the horrible brutalities of tn
, Germans, the mutilated bodies Q
men, women and girls could be see
n various places.
He mentioned the return OF tn
ows to Jerusalem which the Ems
ish government contemplates.
