the rather plump woman shown
in the ad.
We gather the style at the time
was to be "pleasingly plump

other extreme %.
With high costs of living today
and the high wages paid it seemed
rather amazing to note the Help

In a personal note it was said
that a certain woman had "either

Not only were the women up-
permost in the minds of the men

to point out that front laced cor

Not to be out done another cor
set company ad was headlined
"Rust-Proof Corsets for SWIM

The follow up in the ad was
an appeal to the athletic woman.
Time was when the active wo-
man engaged in athletic sports
went uncorseted. Not so today.
Physicians recommend the wear
ing of corsets during unusual ex-
erclseS as a support to hold the

the ad.
Not being too well versed on
the change in sports wear during

make any comment.

BY AL HARRISON


Oldsters talk about "why back
when and the youngsters accept
the majority of the conversation
without question: but this week
proof that the oldsters weren't
just making talk was found by
workmen tearing down the old
Methodist Church. Located across
the street from Prince Brothers
Furniture Store.
Under the carpet in the church
were several copies of newspapers
that served the area during 1918.
Several voiced the opinion that
the papers were placed under the
carpet to serve as a cushion while
others said that they were placed
there for the purpose they have
served-to be found and appreci-
ated many years later.
Mrs. Venoy Stephens was given
the papers by the workmen. In
cluded in the stack were several
editions Of the Wilmington Morn
ing Star and one edition Of the
Whiteville News-Reporter. The
Star contained 10 pages while the
weekly paper from Whiteville had
eight pages.
Although the papers had turned
yellow with age they were still in
readable condition. The national
news contained in the Star has
long since been found in history
books since it was at a time when
World War was in full swing.
Headlines blazed the importance
OF the news "French Capture
Over 5000 Prisoners" British
Continue To Drive Germans" and
american Front Little Changed. I"
The date was May 20, 1918.
In the News-Reporter, the en-
phasis was on local news. 'Plans
For Celebration All Complete with
French Officer The Speaker" said
the headlines in the May %, 1918
edition.
Generally the papers maintain
ed the same policy of those of
1854. The daily paper stressed
national news as much as local
items while the weekly paper put
its emphasis on "who done what
and Why in their particular meek
of the woods"
photographs were conspiciously
absent in the 1918 editions. More
pictures adorned the advertise
ments than anything else. Some
Of the so-called pictures were
simply crude sketches OF the pro-
duct advertised.
An advertisement appealing to
the young men to buy a certain
brand suit left much to be desired.
The young man pictured in the
ad was either too tall for the
trousers he wore or vice versa.
One youngster glanced at the
picture and described it perfectly
He must have COTTON caught in
a flood on the way"
Advertising was necessity for
merchants in 1918 as well as to-
day. A majority of the ads were
appealing to the woman with that
run down and nervous" feeling
In testimonial type ad along
the above mentioned line we
found, II wouldn't take anything
IN this world for the good that
Tanlac has done me. 1 have gain

J. r. Pridgen To
Be New Sheriff

J. r. Pridgen, former State
Highway Patrol Officer, defeated
incumbent Sheriff H. Hugh Nance
by 474 votes in the race for sheriff
for Columbus County in the Dem
ocratic run-off primary Saturday,
June 26. Pridgen received total
of 4,640 votes and Nance 4l66.
Nance was high man among the
six candidates for the office of
sheriff in the first primary four
weeks ago. He led Pridgen, who
was second in the race at that
time, by more than so votes.
The race was expected to be
close but most people were of the
opinion that Nance would be re-
turned to office. A Nance cam
paign worker is reported to have
stated that he believed Nance
would win by more than a thous-
and votes, depending upon how
many turned out at the polls.
Pridgen led Nance in 16 Of the
fcounty's "a precincts and Nance
conceded the contest when all but
five or six of the precincts had
reported their returns.
Nance and Pridgen each carried
IL precincts in the first primary.
The Columbus County Board of
Elections will make the official
canvass of returns in Whiteville
Tuesday morning. The vote in the
second primary was considerably
heavier than had been expected
with IS per cent of those who
voted in the first primary doing
SO again Saturday.
Nomination in Democratic
primary in Democratic Columbus
County is equivalent to election.
Mr.. Pridgen will take office the
first of December.

Drought has hurt the farmer,
too. IN many parts Of the land
but his main trouble has been
over-production which piled UP
great surpluses Of many food

price supports and kindling re-
sentiment among many consum-
ers and taxpayers.
The Vests mining camps see
better days ahead. Falling lead
and zinc prices have closed mines
in many areas Of mid-America
and the West. For a time copper
production was being cut back.
But Government stockpiling Of
