Airy, April lftfc, 1*1*
TO K£KP OUT
OF THE ARMY.
Thar* ara not many ra«n who want
toptlntlM army. Moat of ua envy
the nun who goea and livaa through
it, but not many ara wanting to taka
tha iKancaa. Wa all admire tha man
who la wlllini to riak hia Ufa for hia
country. Ha ia a haro, and wa all
honor him. Now if a young man
want* to kaap out of tha army tha
way ia simple. I,at him ahow that ha
ia worth more to tha rountry hare at
bom* than ha would ha worth to tha
rountry in tha service and ha will ha
laft at home. There ara many young
men who are trying to avoid tha draft,
and lhay ara railing thotr friend* to
•id them. In many of theae cases tha
circumxtanrea are *u<h that their
friend* are not able to render the
assistance that ia nerer «ary to get
them laft at home.
The rountry need* food a* it never
needed it before, and the young man
who ran get buxy and »how that he ia
producing a substantial amount of
food, mora than enough to aupply hia
own need*, will stand a good rhenre to
remain at home. It ia not enough to
be a farmer, for it ia very well known
that many farmer* barely exiet, and
that it mean* nothing to the rountry
for them to barely make a living. To
interest Unrle Sam at thia time a man
muxt lie a producer to that extant
that he nut only feed* him*elf, but
produce! a Hurplua to feed other*.
So important ia the subject that
Local Boards are now in receipt of
blank forma to be used by parenta
who can aak for a furlough for a *on
that he may come home and help
ma'-e tha prenent crop. The govern
ment muat have food. Every reaaon
able effort will he made to increaae
production, even to allowing young
men now in ramp to return and help
make the crop.
Now there are many young men
who are at home on deferred classift
cation and awaiting their time to en
ter the Mrvire. The beat minda in the
world aea a strong probability of thi*
war la*ting for a long time yet, pos
sibly several year*, certainly for a*
many aa two or three years. Now
these young men who are on deferred
clarification can nerve the country
to mighty good effect if they will bend
every energy to the production of
food. It mean* no great thing to
grow tobacco in th*se stirring tiire*
when the world ia clamoring for
bread. Tobacco is a luxury, and while
it pays to grow tobacco it ia better to
aae ansa energy to feed the hungry.
And so if a young man wants to
aid his country in winning the war the
way is open right here at home with
out joining the army.
AN HONOR TO SURRY.
Mont people nre proud of their mil
itary record, that is if they have a re
cord that ia creditable. For a life
time we have heard the follu brae
about what a large part this section
played in the civil war, and how our
people responded nobly to the call of
the country. Future generations wj)|
be able to say the same thing about
the present war. The records will
show that in proportion to the num
ber of citizens and the number of men
liable to military duty Surry has sent
as much as fifty per cent more vol
unteers to the army than the average
rounty in the state. And this fact
alone is so creditable to the citizen
ship of the country as to cover a mul
titude of sins of those who, for rea
sons best known to themselves, are
not in line with the country in the
present effort to preserve human free
dom. For, after all, a large part of
the human race has ever tieen willing
to submit to the rule of the mighty
rather than contend for their rights.
If all the country will play as credi
table a part as Surry is playing the
nation ia safe.
The men in Surry county who have
■luney to spare are **pecled to take
liberty bonds to the amount of |191,
•OO.OO. This is the amount appor
tioned to the county by those who di
vide out the total amount expected
from the country. Of course Surry
will make good.
A two weeks term of Surry Super
ior court will be held in Dobson next
v.ek for the trial of both civil and
« i initial cases. A murder case from
Forsyth in which a negro must answer
to the charge of killing a whole fami
ly will take up part of the term. This
itN was moved here because of the
intent* feeling in that county against
the negro.
