Editor Hustler:

Please give me space to say AMEN
to Mrs. Marshall's question.
1 drove in town last week with a
little produce and had to step into the
bank for a minute. AS Mr.. Brooks
could not see me for a few minutes
had to wait, I guess, ten minutes.
When 1 returned, I looked for my
buggy, in which 1 had left my little
boy and a neighbor's child, but 10 and
behold, they were gone! Many things
flashed through my mind in a minute
Had the horse taken fright and run
away (sOmething he has never done),
or had they been knocked from the
buggy by car.
Finally, found them parked among
hundred cars, more or less. They
said big man Tin size) had told them
to drive on and not to be - caught
again.
Do we country ladies have to go to
town and take our horse and put him
in a stable or stand him in the midst
of cars run by careless drivers and
leave our little children to hold it,
and then take a basket of eggs on one
arm and a basket of butter ON the
other and perhaps other produce and
hike it to the boarding house or
grOceryman to sell when the ladies
in. town can't carry a spool of cotton
home?
If all the people in the county
would cooperate with me not a pound
of produce would go to town until we
were allowed room to stop our We
hicles and deliver our goods. The
people in town would have to pay the
express on all they ate, or else come
in the country and get what they
wanted. If they had that to do for the
next two months guess the mayor or
someone would see if there couldn't
be some arrangement made to give the
countryman a right to deliver his
goods, without packing it about on
his arm.
1 guess our vehicles and horses don't
look good enough for those grand
visitors that come to HendersonvilIe
How many would come if the country
folks did not play their carts among
, the town folks?
/ think when the lawmakers of the
town passed their rule it was an act
of thoughtlessness. They did not
realize how inconvenient it would
make it and 1 am sure they did not
mean to be impolite to the country
ladies.

FOR QUICK DELIVERY

The Carolina Oil and Supply COM
pany has inaugurated quick delivery
system by means Of light motor truck
on which is mounted nifty little red
tank holding about 200 gallons.
1t is worth repeating that there will
be no gasoline scarcity here this year
thanks largely to that great new
tnk recently installed by the Carolina
Oil and Supply company.
Neither was there any shortage
here on July 4th. The company had
FIVE cars on the track. How much
was that gas worth?

Blanchard-FulIer

Of social interest throughout the
Carolinas was the marriage of Miss
Anna Neal Fuller of Lumberton, N. c.,
and Mr.. Lawrence Eley Blanchard, of
Washington, D. c., on Wednesday
afternoon, July 16, at o'clock in her
summer home on Fifth avenue.
The wedding was quiet one on ac-
count of the recent death of the
groOm's father. Only the immediate
relatives and a limited number of in
vited friends of the bride and groom
were present. Rev. R. H. Willis,
Presiding Elder of the Elizabeth City

mony.
To the strains of Lohengrin's We'd
ding March, Miss Epsie Fuller. a sis
ter of the bride, entered carving an
aTmful of Killarney roses. She was
becomingly gowned in a frock of VEL
low maline over yellow messaline.
shoWered with tiny rose buds and
caught up with streamers of ribbon
and rose buds. Next came little Mary
Louise Fuller, niece of the bride,
very dainty in a fluffy dress of white
organdy and lace, scattering flower
petals in the pathway of the bride
Miss Agnes Mclean, of Lumberton,
N. c., played the wedding march.
The bride entered the room with her
father and looked very beautiful in
her wedding gown of white Duchess
satin and lace with a court train, a
veil caught with orange blossoms
and carrying shower bouquet of
roses. The room was a picture.
Lighted tapers in silver candeIabra,
growing plants, bowls of goIden-eyed
daisies, and fern being entwined with
festoons of crepe paper, formed a
color note of Eh;te and willow.
The groom was attended by his best
man ]. Dici1son Mclean, of Lumber
ton, N. C.
Immediately after the ceremony all

APPEAL SOUNDED
BY CHURCHES To
REACH SLACkERs
BE THE ACID TEST OF TRUE
PATRIOTISM.
MUST BE WELDED OUT
Excuses Should Not Be Accepted
From Drones In the Final
Campaign.

Like the poor, we always have the
slackers with us. Though the war is
over the Stacker still abounds in more
or less numbers. He is discovered in
the ranks of business, politics, re-
1igion and wherever people are trying
to respond to the call of duty.
A prominent st. Louis churchman
and leader in religious life has hit the
nail on the head by the following
crisp sizing up of the situation:
81 know that the Victory Liberty
Loan will be the test and proof Of
true patriots. Every one Of them Will
subscribe. Others-slackers- ex-
cuse themselves by hard times, sick
ness, no need now that the war is
over and a hundred other excuses
they will be able to give for their
Slackerism.
II s 2 well known fact that the
church is not a Stacker oganization-
anything in the world but that Yet,
like all other institutions, few slack
ers will creep in and seek to be car
ried right up to glory, without having
served or paid the price. They are
attached to the church, and they
cannot be unattached The church
is too generous to turn the poor
<strippers' out to starve.
1.-THE same kind of folks will be
little and narrow in their subscrip-
lions to the Victory Liberty Loan. 1t
Is to be expected. I: is to be pre-
sumed that they have hearts some
where, but you cannot pierce the hide
of a Stacker to reach the heart. Let
him remain until the great harvest
and the Lord of the harvest will take
care Of the toughness of his hide"

Secretary Glass Warns
Against Bond Scalpers

Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass has issued the following state
ment, which is of interest to every
Liberty Loan and War Savings
worker:
MY attention has been directed to
the activities Of INSCRIPTIONS persons
who have been operating extensively
throughout the country and who are
lswindling the owners Of Liberty Bonds
and War Savings Stamps by purchas-
ing these securities far below their
actual worth
These swindlers get the attention
of security holders by publishing ad-
vertisements calculated to make the
unsuspecting believe that the highest
market price can be secured for his
bonds through the agency of the ad-
vertiser. Such is rarely, if ever, the
case. Records of transactions of this
character, brought to the attention of
the department of justice and the
treasury department prove conclusive
ly that these swindlers take every ad-
vantage of bond owners who are
forced into their clutches by paying
the lowest possible price which the
owner will accept-and generally far
below the actual value of the bonds.
81 regret to observe that many
reputable newspapers are being vic
timized by accepting the advertise
ments of these swindlers and appeal
to all newspaper publishers to scruti-
nize very carefully the character of
individuals who use their columns to
offer to buy Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps. l believe that it is
the duty of publishers to protect their
readers against INSCRIPTIONS adver-
tisers.
Other swindlers endeavor to trade
worthless articles or securities of lit.
tie value for Liberty Bonds and l ap
peal to patriotic publishers to assist
in putting an end to this practice.
"The treasury department will take
such steps as are possible under the
law to protect the interests of Liberty
Bond holders, and will use every
means at its command to bring to JUS
tice all who seek to defraud the people
who have so periodically assisted In
winning the war by investing their
savings in Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps.
Owners of these government secur
lilies should under no circumstances
part with them unless necessity com
'pels; and then they should deal only
with reliable banks, trust companies
banking institutions and others whose
reputation for integrity is beyond
question. If 1t is necessary to sell
Liberty Bonds, the highest market val
ne should be received.
The treasury department will wei
come information concerning the Old
GRAFTON Of these swindlers in any par
lof the country"

AID FROM FARM WOMEN

The women Of one of the rural dis
tricts of Tennessee organized during
the Fourth Loan and pledged the state
chairman of the Woman's Liberty
Loan Committee the profits from the
sale of one days butter and eggs each
week to buy Liberty Bonds. The state
publicity chairman passed on this plan
to each county in the state and asked
each Sunday school in the rural dis
tricts to adopt this method. In this
way thousands of dollars were invest
ed in bonds.
