The Britisher shows the difference in the stuff of which he's made when he refuses to retaliate in kind for the aerial bombardment by Germans of English villages and unfortified towns, resulting in the killing of women and children. . There is a proposition in England to bestow the right to vote on women over thirty years of age. There w'ould be lots of women eligible under that law who would never give up the priv ilege of concealing their real age for the one of casting a ballot.

There are a lot of people willing, anxious in fact, for things to be said in the newspapers providing they hurt the business of somebody else and not their own. ' "What newspaper has not had this very same experience 'with this very same yellow tadpole of a citizen who splutters and splutters about what ought to be printed in a newspaper and what ought to be omitted? And yet when you Invite the coward to be responsible for The malnuscript he wants you to publish, he whines like a sick dog and skulks behind this pre text and that, and wobbles out of the office with a grouch. "That is not all. He writes in that he will stop his paper if you don't print what he himself wont sign. Yet if you were to suggest to him that his threat to stop his paper is pure and simple coercion through a threat of blackmail he would yowl like a tom cat with its tail stepped on. "The fellow who threatens to stop his paper is trying to do to the news paper in a small way the very thing that he would condemn as criminal in a corporation that tried in any way to throttle the freedom of the press. Threatening to stop the paper is an attempt at intimidation. "But. it is worse than that. Threat ening to stop the paper is a confes sion of bigoted intolerance on the part of the delinquent subscriber that pulls such a bone, for it means that he does not want the paper to have the cour age of its own convictions after all, but insists that it shall have only the courage of the convictions of the stop- my-paper threatener. "Big magazines with circulation pil ing toward tne million ana great metropolitan newspapers are pestered with this pest who wants them to pun- lish something and assume a respon sibility for- authorship which the pe3t is too big coward to assume, and who threatens to stop his subscription if they do not do his bidding.

Says the Columbia State: "Various names have been suggested for this war that we have with us, but it ap pears that 'Artillery Duel War' would do as well as any other." The Ger man idea is that the submarine is the war instrument that is going to brjng victory to that country, and a high American officer says the war will be decided by aircraft. Both are doing their part at this stage of the war. The first cotton bloom of the sea son for Anson county was turned in by the janitor from the court house lot. Charlotte used to boast, or per haps some outsider boasted (?) for her that more cotton was raised with in her corporate limits than in any other city inthe world. Wadesboro may get ahead of Charlotte in the mat ter of first blooHTTn the corporation fields, but she can hardly intend to compete as to quantity of cotton raised. roads of New Hanover county.

President Horne has sent the fol lowing letter to all members: "Enclosed herein is a copy of the program qf the Afternoon Association meeting which is to be held at the Sea shore Hotel at Wrightsville Beach Fri- dav and Saturday. June 29-30. You will notice that the Wilmington people have arranged to give us a series of entertainments and our fellow-mem ber, W. E. Lawson, in whose town we are meeting, has worked untiringly for the success of this session. As you know, with the 15 members our ses sion will necesarily be a small one, and in view of this fact and the ef forts which: the Wilmtngton people have' made to entertain us, it is my earnest desire that every newspaper a member of the association should be represented. The program 'con tains many live topics and matters of interest to all of us and we can real ly make the meeting a great help if we will attend and take part in the sessionl. "The meeting is called immediate ly after the North Carolina Press As sociation meeting in deference to members from across the State who would necessarily have to make an extra trip to Eastern Carolina if they were called on to attend it any other time. In view of this fact I hope that all members will plan to be present and that those from the eastern sec tion will forego any excuse about be ing inconvenienced by an absence of a week. "Mr. MacQuoid and representatives of the Associated Press and a number of other friends of the association are going to be present. Wont you write me right away and let me know what to expect in the way of representation from your paper? If your transporta tion has not been secured write Mr. W. E.

Several young men in both counties are enthusiastically at work recruiting, and they expect to have the requisite number enlisted at an early date. It will be named Bat tery Bickett, in honor of the Governor, who is a native of Union county. The maximum strength of such company is 195 and the minimum 125. Know ing the ejass of people who form the population of those two counties, we ffcel surethe promoters of, this patri otic movement will succeed in their effort. And when the members of Bat tery Bickett have been trained there will be no finer soldiers in the Nation al Army. WOMEN'S PAY. The Greensboro Daily News, com menting on Secretary Daniels' an nouncement that women empliyed in the Navy Department will receive the same pay as men when they do the same work as the latter, says: "This announcement made to the president of the national woman suffrage organ ization is yet too new -to see what ef fect it will have on suffrage agitation, but a few leaders have expressed their high satisfaction with it. "In the very nature of the war situ ation many women must do men's wjork. As fast as one can be substi tuted for a man the women are as sured that they will be given men's pay. In railroad situations women have begun to take men's place: The Lehigh Valley has a number of wom en in its engineering department and the Pennsylvania's shops at Altoona are employing a great' number of them.

The statement is made frequently that tfeeWfihingtonr authorities are disappointed -at . thef- slowness with which volunteering for the regular army is being done. It has not been rapid since the President issued his call for seventy thousand volunteers, needed to raise that army to its war strength. : In this connection it should be borne in mind that the men who are daily entering the regular army are by no means the only ones who are offering themselves to their country to fight her battles. Since war with Germany was declared there has been rapid in crease of the volunteer or State Guard service. North Carolina has done her part well in this matter. Companies in the different arms of the service are being formed all over the State. These companies will be mustered into the service of the Federal government and will form a part of its regular fight ing force wherever needed and will make as efficient soldiers as those who singly enlist in the-regular army. In addition to this, the navy has been recruited by volunteering to a very large number since the war be gan. men who have joined the State Guard or -formed separate units preparatory to being mustered into the Federal service, the recruiting of the war forces of the United States has been much larger than is indicated by the daily reports from the recruiting sta tions.
