Why Worry About the Draft ?
' Here is consolation for every man
who has registered and expects to be
drafted in the great war lottery this
month. It comes from an Atlanta
boy who has been on the firing line
-in Franca and knows what he is
taikiDg about:
"Yoa have two alternatives: either
you are drafted are you are not. If
not, you have nothing to worry
.about. If you are drafted, yon have
m alionnlimia' pnn iru in lJlm O or
VWVV 1 1 www. u" J " - f 1
you are at the front. If you are in
jctamp you have nothing to worrj
about. If you are at Ihe front you
have two alternatives: either you are
held in reperve or you are sent to the
firing line. If you are in reserve
you have nothing to worry about.
If you are sent tothe firing line you
iiave two alternatives: either you
fight or you don't. If you don't yo
iiave nothing to worry about. If you
.do you have two alternative's: either
you get hurt or you don't. If you
-don't you 'have nothing to worry
about. If you do get hurt you have
,iwo alternatives: either you are
.slightly hurt or badly hurt. If slightly
hurt you have nothing to worry
About. If badly hurt you have two
alternatives: either you recover or
you don't. If you rec'ovei you have
nothing to woiry about. If you don't
recover, then you are dead and can't
vorry. So what's the use of worrying
.about the draft?"

Remarkable Prophesy.
"Putnam's Monthly Magazine, pub
lished in 1853, alludes to a strange
prophesy, published in the Almanac
Prophetique printed in Paris in 1608,
by Abram Sawgrin, nearly 300 years
ago. The prediction made was :
"That the United States would sep
erate from England the mother
country. That the "new son" of civ
ilization would rise in policical power
and physical development uneqnaled
by any power on the earth. That
after a time the motberandeon would
toe completely reconciled and enter
into an alliance that would cause their
sovereignty to extend ever all other
nations. That after the world's sub
jugation, pea. plenty, commerce and
Industry will flourish thronh-iut the
earth. That a new era -will come cn
the earth when these powerful nations
will not only govern, but actually
possess the entire globe. That justice
is eternal! Civilization can only rise
from he destruction of barbarism.
That barbarism and idolatrous wor
ship will forever disappear before the
united "Mother and Son." That they
will together establish Christianity
over the whole face of the earth.''
From the Western Republican,
Murphy, N. C, November 24, 1899.
The copy of the paper contaiufng
the above pmphfsy was furnished us
by Mr. N. W. Abernathy of Marble.
At this time this should be interesting
reading. Editor The Scout).
Your Local Newspaper.
"Your local newspaper is in no sense
a special child of charity. It earns
everj dollar it receives and is second
to no enterprise in contributing to
the upbuilding and betterment of fie
town and community. Its patrt i s
reao far more benefits from its pages
than its publisher and in calling for
the support of the community, it asks
nomoie than what in all fairness
belongs to it. Patron jze y wur home
paper as you wouid any other enter
prise, as a matter of business, because
it directly or indirectly helps you,
and not as a matter of charity. C. E.
