Mount Airy News. Airy. N. C, Aacaat A MtT. StIWCWPnON RATES I OHNn,riiMrik M Om mm. mm year $tM A WARNING WORD. The tiBM Km cona when It la ap propriate that people he warned •bout teditloua talk. We boaat that thia la a free country and that the right to opinion la aura under any and all cireomatanraa. It la not only our privilege to have optnlona, but It la our right to fraaly axpresa our opin lona In worda at any time we faal dlapoaed to do ao. All of which aounda food, and all of which ia certain to get aorae people In trouble now that the country la at war. The man who la not yat awake to the fact that thia country ia at war had better get hia eyea open and get down to hard tacka even if he has a sore leg or tomi other good exeunt for not Joining the armiet thin country ia raiaing. The fact that a man ii not required to go to the battlefielda ii no reason he will not be liable to trial by a court mar tial and shot at nun riae for hia deeds. If you suppose all thia ia hot air and talk that ia intended to entertain and All up good newspaper apace, let ua nuppoM a caae. A young man muat leave hia wife and home and go to the army rampa. He geta home aick and after weeka of hard, laborioua drill ing one night, in a spirit of despond ency, he deaerta. Back at home ia a good citizen who haa a gray beard and atands well among the neighbora. He hut property and a conceit that would ahame a brass monkey. He fears neither army officer nor military court. He talks about the wrong of going to war. He diacuaaaa by the hour what should h«ve been done and how the war could have been avoided. He knows full well that the President ia not handling the war problem right and that all thia torn foolery will be changed at the next election when he has a chance to get to the polla. And a lot of other talk thia aged citizen indulgea in when he ban find an audi ence of even one to listen to him. Now go back to our young married man who haa deserted hia reginment and is a prisoner at the bar. Army officers are men and know life as other people know it. They are hu man and able to tract facta and af fect* to their court* with aa much accuracy as other people. It i* brought out at the trial of your young married man that he ha* lived in the neighrohood of i man who had sedi tious talk. He las come away from a neighborhood where men have free ly criticised the government. He ha» been influenced in hi* course by the idea that the people back home were with him in his desertion and that once back at home they would help shield him. Now let all these facta be brought out at a trial for desertion and the next step would be for the Court to send officer* and arrest theae gray haired citizens and bring them into camp, and that might be a thousand miles away from home. Then it would be their delightful privilege to stand trial for treason and the charge would be based on the talk had one summer day at the country store while whittling on a goods box. Now let H be brought out that the seditious talk of the aged citizen had possibly causcd the desertion of a soldier in the time of war and it would take no great flight of the imagination to see your aged citizen stand at sun riae with a handkerchief over his eyes and face a firing acpiad of men who know only to touch the trigger at the word of commit nd. New if any one thinks the above is overdrawn and intended to intimidate some one, then he is entitled to hold that opinior. But let it not he for gotten that this country is at war and that tn war times men are sometime* trtmj one day for their conduct and shot at sun rise the next.

Kaukauna, Wis., Aug. 16.—Alleged insulting remarks against the Ameri can flag re*ulted in John Collin* and I Leo Madigan being led to a conspicu-' ous place in front of the public library by • rrowd where they were forced to knee! and kiss the flag 10 time* today. Om of theae days Is lag to get M trouble for stilling corn at the present prices, that le If r*f Uncle Hm can catch ay with tho. guilty parties. And horo la a lory. A fow day* ago mm party or partlaa —tho bAeers think they know who, i- uiiht up a lot of nice mm and pre pared to mako mmm liquor m tho wee Urn part of thla county. It take* mora than corn to mako liquor. It takaa a still, a rap and a worm and a lot of othar pa. uphernalia that la en tirely too familiar to many of tho dtlaona of thia section. Anyway tho mon who w»re at tho head of thla ef fort that we are trying to tell about, had almost nothing In the way of apparatus with which to make the liquor. But when a fellow gets It In hla head to make iiquo* -he can turn into a regular genius, and If Ediaon could harneaa up a bunch of these tier k wood a blnckadera they would, no doubt. And a way to head off the much talked of submarine. Anyway these fellows had the com and proceeded to get together ,»he other items need ed ' They had no Mill. And copper in high and mru. But the Standard Oil Co. has gasoline barrel* about everywhere. Of course they do not •ell theae barrel*, but it would be an eaay matter to appropriate one and let the other fallow pay for It. For why did he not lock up anyway. Ami no our inventive blochader geta a bar rel once used for gasoline and cute a hole in the head. He put* thia barrel in a nice brick furnace and (eta a wooded keg for hi* still cap. Then he takes a piece of iron pipe and bends it into a worm and lo, he la ready for a run. But it wm more than he wa* able to do to keep hi* operation* from the people. A food citizens—ws are guessing, caught on to the came, and almost before the beer got right for stilling notifled the officers here in the city about what was doing in the wild wood* up in Bryan. And ao on Toeaday Deputiee C. .H. Hayne* and Eugene Smith and T. W. Davis along with some others plung ed into that part of the country and promptly located the whole outfit. The fires were slumbering under the gasoline barrel and all thing* were ready for another run aa soon as night came. The beer wa* in boxes, and this was eaay to destroy, but when it came to deatroying a gasoline barrel that was another matter. The law makes it the doty of officers to deetroy a atttl, and that gaaoline bar rel was no longer a barrel but a full fledged blockade still. And ao it must be destroyed. The effort was by way of an axe that was found on the grounds. The best the men could do was to beat a hole or two in the side of the one-time barrel and thus per suade themselves that they t id com plied with the spirit if not the letter of the law. But there are other gasoline bar rels and other iron pipe and corn is to be had if one has the money. If your Uncle Sam could round up enough of these fellows and get them pitted against Germany the present game of war would soon be over. Great Week for Meetings. Last week was a special occasion for meetings among the Baptist people of this section. At the 'first Baptist Church in this city on Sunday a series of meetings rame to a close which had been conducted by the church assisted by Dr. Hamilton, of Lynchburg. A number of new members were added to the church and the membership greatly appreciated the able services of Dr. Hamilton. The Rurry Association met with the Calvary Baptist church a mile west of the city on Thursday and people were here from alt parts of the county to attend the sessiona. Prac tically all the Baptist rharches of Surry county are members of thia As sociation. The attendance was larga and the sessions greatly enjoyed. On Sunday Rev. Charles H. Utley, now principal of the Mountain Park Schoil, preached a splendid sermon to a house packed with people and a col lection was taken for the school which he represents.
