(An Editorial.)
WHEN HITLER WINS, WILL HELL BREAK
LOOSE IN AMERICA ?
The Macedonian cry comes across the waters i
from the dying empires of freedom and democ- J
racy. 1
As Liberty in Furopp makes its last stand be
fore the onrushinsr Hun hordes, whence shall
come its help?
Will the people of this greatest democracy in
the world look in at the death and sustain the
shock, or will HELL BREAK LOOSE IN AMER
ICA?
Will the people of the United States retain
their poise, equilibrium, sense, while the shrieks
of countless thousands of suffering and dying
innocent men, women and children ring in their
ears while they wake and while they sleep?
Can we preserve our calm indifference when
civilization beckons us with tears and prayers to
come over and help?
The answer is, I will not give my boys to die
on a foreign strand for alien interests—nor will
you. 1 will give my boys and myself in DE
FENSE OF AMERICA—and so will you.
I America can do nothing about it NOW. We
may sympathize and send money and material, 1
but that is as far as our help may extend in the
path ot the cyclone that sweeps on resistlessly. i
| America may be compared to Sampson with
out his locks, or a Numidian lion minus his claws'
and fangs.
The lesson for us is to PREPARE—PREP ARE j
—PREPARE. Our cue is to be not caught nan
ping $s was France England.
The unleashed powers of money, material and
men that may be commanded by this continent
will be irrestistible to all the nations of the
world if marshalled and deveJoped.
Those who counsel to refrain from the cost are
enemies to the freedom of this republic. A Ger
man victory means cost plus—it means CON
FISCATION OF THE RESOURCES OF THE
VICTIM.
Let America BEWARE AND PREPARE.
Card to the People
From H. H. Brown
Next Saturday is the primary-j
I will appreciate my friends at
tending the polls and casting
their vota. for me fur the hcuisc
of representatives. Tf nominated
and elected I promise lo be the
servant oi >he whol* 1 people, and
to do my best to protect their in
terests.
An effort sh •«M be made by.
the legislature to the mar
kets of the farmers in th-3 expert
of our flue-cured tobacco, in this
day when the crisis in Europe
must have its effect on the price
of our crop. If I get to the leg
islature it will be my purpose to j
induce other members to join me |
in starting a movement to raise !
the price of our great staple.
Another thing I am in favor
of: This is to work for more and
better farm-to-market roads in
our county, and for hard surface
highways connecting our county l
seat with other county seats-
At the same time I shall work
to secure a lower tax rate, and
the steady improvement of our
schools. i i- ]•}_*£■
Thanking you for your vote.

MARKERS AT
THE PRIMARY
THE NEW LAW FIXES RE
STRICTIONS FOR NEXT SAT
URDAV'S VOTING WHICH
MUST BE OBSERVED.
The 3939 General Assembly
made a very drastic change in
the use of markers in primaries.
:i» .;• voters who may be
asri.sted in the marking of their
ballots c*e these who cannot
rea'; aiv.l those who by reason of
phyrica! handicap, such as blind
ness, pr.:alysis or other disabling
dcf>ct, are unable to mark their
ballot.
■ Ir. an official opinion, the At
torrey General ruled that only
those illiterates registered under
the Grandfather Clause of the
C ! ti'"ti«n were entitled to a -
i
sistance by reason of their in
nhil.ty to read.
V'hon a voter is entitled to a -
■ is: >.nce in the marking of the
'v.'.bt, h • must obtain the a.;-
f.!:-'?.nco frni a ncai relative,
Var.d and wife: parent ani
chi'l; bro'her and lister; or
f rnndpr.ront and grandchild) but
if no such near relative is pres
ent, he iray then ask any other
.voter of the precinct who has not
assisted ny other voter, to give
him th-r assistance. If, however,
there is present no near relative,
or other voter who has not marit
ed txlotner ballot, the voter may
then, but only then, call upon tha
registrar or a judge of elections
for assistance.
The registrar is required to
| keep a record of all voters who
i receive assistance and the names
jof the persons giving assistance.
I It is not only unlawful for anv
person tj give assistance, but al
so unlawful for any person to re
ceive or permit assistance except

The Act does not prevent mem
i

another, and no record is re
quired of such.
