NEWSPAPERS HELPING
TO WIN THE GREAT WAR

The following is what the Liberty
Loan committee of the Tenth Federal
Reserve district has to say about the
war and the part the newspapers
are playing in it:
There is one branch of the Ameri-
can army at home which is doing
more than any other toward winning
the war. 1t Is. or should be styled,
the Newspaper Battery, manned by
as brave and as loyal and true pa
triots as are to be found anywhere.
In the division OF the Newspaper
Battery for the Tenth Federal Re-
guns, ranging from a little five-col-
umn falio, which is fired off weekly.
to great sixteen to forty-eight- page
destroyers which are fred daily
often two, three, four times a day.
Not an issue Of any one of these
newspapers is sent out that does not
contain, along with the news of the
day or week, editorial and special
articles full of patriotic fire that
point the way of the people to duty
or intelligent accounts of the pro-
gress of the various activities for
the national defense.
These newspapers are among the
greatest educational forces in Amer
lea. They voice the sentiment of the
people, their ideals, their hopes and
ambitions. Yet, do the people ap-
preciate them as they should?
In this great crisis of our history
the newspapers have performed the
greatest service for the cause of de-
mocracy. righteousness and square
dealing among men and among ma
tions. They are backing Uncle Sam
at every turn-noble and patriotic
editors and publishers these-and
when America and its allies win-as
surely they will-the Newspaper Bat
terry will come in for full measure
of the glory that comes with victory.

A LITTLE POEM.

As you read a little poem,
just q nifty little rhyme. one
that deals with love in gently
flowing words-how he met her,
how he wooed her, how he lin
gered by her side. while all ma,
ture smiled, rejoicing through
her sweetly singing birds. And
the ;cent of many roses scat
tered perfume DER the lea, and
their gladness was a plenty,
they were as happy as could be;
how he loved the gentle maiden.
how he hoped the time would
come, when mid blessings quite
eternal he and she should be as
one. And you ramble through
the verses. and you like their
clever drift, and the sentiment
is strong in its appeal. and you
learn to like the couple, take an
interest in them both. and you
hope he'll be successful in his
deal. You are led by classy
phrasing. by the clever terms
of speech, up to happiness that
in loves blessing lies. to the
threshold Of the climax. where
he'll ask her to be his. Does
the geezer win his highly treas
ured prize, as you surmise?
No. it all winds up q joke
or some sur ". q. q. a

Serious Accident

William Greaver, about Is years
of age, was seriously injured last
Sunday while working with the big
ditching machine which has been in
operation south of Crowley for the
past several weeks. The machine
turned over and he was struck on one
of his hips and his leg paralyzed. but
it is believed that it is only temper
arily injured. His recovery seemed
doubtful for time, but it is believed
now that he will fully recover. altho
it will take long time to outgrow
the injuries sustained.

CEMETERY Is RENAMED

The Ordway cemetery has been re-
named and will be known hereafter
as Valleyview cemetery. The loca-
tion of the cemetery is suggestive
of this name, as view of the valley
may be had for miles in all direc-
tions. The change from Lakeside
was made because the cemetery at
Sugar City is known as Lakeview
and the two names SO nearly alike
were confusing.

that you will have plenty to laugh
about, for the play is filed from

the Liberty Bond which the teachers
bought and donated to the school it
adds again to its worthiness. So be

PICK" LEAK DEAD.
Prominent Farmer, Manufac.
turer, and Beloved Citizen
Died This Morning at $40

James Pickett Leak died at his
home here this morning at $40
o'clock, and news Of his death
will be read with sorrw by vast
numbers who were pleased to
know "Pick" Leak as their friend.
Mr.. Leak was paralyzed in De-
cember, 1912, since which time
he was an invalid, and yet was
always bright, cheerful and radi-
ated that sunshine that made his
companionship a source of happi-
ness to those with whom he came
in contact. Last Saturday he be-
came desperately i'll, and grew
steadily worse until at four o'clock
this morning Doctors James, Led
better and Webb decided to oper-
ate in the hope of relieving the
intestinal obstruction. This prov
ed of no avail, and death resulted
at $40.
The funeral will be held from
the residence Saturday morning
at eleven, and will be conducted
by Revs. ]. H. Hall, G. F. Smith
and Bruce Benton. The inter
ment will be in New Eastside
cemetery, in adjoining lots where
his brother, the late w. c. Leak
lis buried.
Mr.. Leak was born in August
1861, and so was in his 57th year
In November, 1898, he married
Miss Connie Dockery, and sur
viving this happy union are two
children, Pickett, Jr., and Con
kcord.
He held large farming inter
ests, and was connected as al
officer and stockholder with var
led industries. He was preslden
of the Leak, Wall & McRae Co.
inc. a promoter and first presi
dent of the Rockingham Railroad
director in the Bank of Pee Dee
Robedel, Pee Dee and Midwa!
mills, and was one of the thre.
citizens who might be said to b.
the father" of a better system o
roads for Richmond county.
In the recent death of w. c
Leak, and now in the death o
Mr.. James Pickett Leak, tn
town and county have lost tw'
strong forces in their materia
development, for they held
niche that was peculiarly thei
own.

YOUNG MAN
ELECTROCUTED
Paul Garris Touched 1900
Volt Wire and Instantly
Killed.

A horrible accident occurred in
this city last Sunday morning
about $50 when Paul Steele Gar
ris was accidently electrocuted by
coming in contact with a live
wire. Death was instantaneous.
It seems that the wind storm
of Saturday night probably blew
several electric wires together,
causing them to burn apart. The
ends were on the wet ground
Sunday morning, when about $50
young Garris came from the
dwelling of his father, w. F.
Garris, near Great Falls mill, and
was examining tiile1n. The iD-
sulation must have been burned
to a greater extent than he had
thought; at any rate, he came in
contact with a live portion and
the 1890 volts of electricity in
stantly snuffed out his life. The
wire burned his back, his hand
and a cash below his knee. a
bystander coming up removed
the wire from his body by means
of a stick.
The voltage used in the state
pen for electrocution purposes is
1900 and it requires several
shocks to kill. The voltage that
killed Garris was 2300.
The funeral was held Monday
at Bear Branch, conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Patrick.
Garris was exactly 20 years
and four months old. His mother
died six weeks ago, and for a
month or so he had been at work
near Peachland with the West
ern Union linemen.
