Faulkner said that "the voters now know that Dr. McDonald and Mr. Lumpkin are politicians who are only try ing to advance their own^'ca I reers' This Is proven, he said, ?by the following facts: . J. I "(a) They champion only the {issues which they think would ? jgive them votes. I "(b) They have claimed to be '[friends of the BChools and school - teachers; while their records ' show that ||oth of them deserted ? the schools during the depression and opposed the sales tax which ' saved the schools. "(c) They claim to be opposed to state tax on land apd yet their records show that they have al ways fought the sales tax which took state tax off of land and sav ed many a farmer's home during the depression. "(d) Dr. McDonald claims to | know all about the tobacco farm- 1 ers' needs; but his record shows that he is a native of the Middle West and has gained all of his knowledge about tobacco and to bacco farmers since he came to North Carolina some years ago. ! "(e) They claim to be opposed to the tobacco companies, still the ! record shows that Dr. McDonald1 was sent to the General Assembly by the voters of Forsyth County ? the home of one of the largest 1 tobacco companies in the world. 1 "(f) They claim to be against big business. The record shows that they were in the General As sembly when a law was passed al ' lowing delinquent taxpayers a 1 10% discount from the principal : amount of their tax and all pen alties if paid within a designated ' short period-r-the big fellows were the only ones who could take advantage of this law, while the little fellow had to pay his 1 tax in full with all penalties and ' in addition paid the thousands of dollars given to the wealthy by 1 this unjust law." ; "The voters," said Mr. Faulk ner, "want men whose records ' support their claims."

F. 4 Americans Astride Road On Each Side of Cisterna On the Anzio Beachhead, May 24. ? A veteran U. S. armored for mation smashed through the Ger man flank on the Home side of Cisterna today, pouring a threat ening steel avalanche closer up on the fortress town astride the Appian Way to Home. Americans in the opening day of their assault had blketed through Nazi defenses and cut a 2,000 yard sector of the Appian Way just southeast of Cisterna. The bitterlp fighting German garrison still has-4ts escape route to Rome open, and the Germans delayed' committing large forces against the swarming American tanks which control the Appian Way into strategic sections flank ing the city. "It's might good after four months In this blasted beachhead to have a chance to kick the hell out of the Boche," said the com mander of the formation which j punched into the German line on the Rome side of the towi) in a display of super-coordination of artillery, tanks, and infantry. A German battalion comman der and his staff were among the growing hundreds of prisoners captured. Following their tanks contin ually, the American armored in fantry had a very small number of casualties in proportion to the square miles gained on the strong ly-prepared enemy positions.

But the Dougboys driving di rectly at Cisterna from Dead Wo man's Corner along the bloody mile of the Hanger battalions' tragic memory had to tight for every German pillbox and casual ties were high. Cisterna is a town where re venge is to be won, for the Amer icans have not forgotten the two U. S. Ranger battalions who spearheaded an attack upon the town last January 30, and were trapped with only a few strag glers making Iheir way back ? men who vowed then that "there will be a sequel to it." The assaulting Americans to day found1 "the Krauts were all dug in. and our doggies had to dig 'em out." in the words of Lt.-Col. Lionel C. McGarr, Pho enix. Ariz., whose men erased the Ponte Rotto defenses near Cister na and captured a pair of 88 niiiltmeter guns. The Germans, however, suc ceeded in pulling back most of their artillery from a railroad em bankment line before it fell. The initial blows of the offen sive not only clamped a hold on the Appian Way, but widened gains across the enemy's broken railroad defense line four miles south of Velletri at the foot of the Alban hills.

Poppy Day Poppy Day, May 27th, this year will be observed with greater reverence than it has ever been before ? Everyone knows the singificanee of the little red flow er and all are glad1 to wear it in memory of the men who have died in World War I and IX ? they are also glad to wear it to help the men who have been dis abled in both wars. The poppies sold on the streets, this year in North Carolina are made by dis abled Veterans in the hospital at Fayetteville who are not as yet receiving compensation for their disabilities and need the litt'.e spending money that is provided from their labors ? the American Legion Auxiliary donates the ma terial and pay the man to make the poppies ? they are being made bp veterans of both wars this year as there are a great number who have been discharged from this war disabled and are hos pitalized at this time. The poppy making industry provides a num ber of things ? first it gives the men something to do to take their minds off their troubles ? second It gives them some spending money ? third, when the poppies are sold, the proceeds are used entirely to help the children and families of disabled veterans who must have mergency help ? and fourth, but largest of all, it is a tribute, a memorial which we pay those who have given their all lhat we might live and- prosper. Wear your poppy proudly, wear it with love and reverence, wear It with a determination that we will do all in our power to hasten the end of this war. When you pin it on, do so with a silent pledge in your heart that you will cooperate in every way to hasten Victory. i I Mrs. Hugh W. Perry, Louisburg Poppy Chairman. U. S.
