LIBERTY BOND ISSUE A GREAT
SUCCESS.
'? ? " ?'
The Second Liberty Loan was closed
last Saturday. The Government fixed
three billion dollars as a minimum and
five billions as a maximum. While
the official reports have not been made
public yet, it appears that the maxi
mum has been reached and that the I
American people have shown that
the" "2 in earnest about the war by i
loaning Uncle Sam their money in I
great sums. Germany again has our ,
answer which means that we are not |
going to let up until I'russianism is !
defeated. ,
The ni ws from the Italian front is
rather disquieting. The Austrian*
have r ccntly been greatly strength
ened on the northern Italian line by
strong German forces led by the great
leader, Markensen. The Italians have
suffered severe reverses and much
territory has been taken from them
by the Austro-Gtrrnan forces.
The news published in the Sunday
morning papers that the American
soldiers are now in the firing trenches
in Northern France sent a thrill
through the heart of evt ry true Amer
ican. The news that General Pershing
had sent some of his men into the
trenches on a quiet rector came a lit
tle earlier than was generally expect
ed. From week to week the news
from overseas is going to have a |
greater and growing interest to our |
people.
IliL'h prices in this country have not j
lc < ii. I Jin pink con; umption. Mr. j
Hoover says that the consumption of j
American pork h.i outstripped th j
production. Mr. Hoover emphasizes
the great need of ships, wheat and j
hogs. The wheat surplus in the Unit
ed States is put at 80, 000, 0(H) bushels, I
with ir,(i,00?MM?0 iu 1 1 - su;-|.!u. in j
?
Canada. Mr. Hoover urges the Amcr- I
ican people to practice such economy
in wheat consumption th t we tan !
spare 1;>0,000,000 hu 'iels mere to help j
feed the allies. They need to have
577,700,000 bushels to (rive them their
normal supplies. It is our duty to
help all we can.
Several matters of importance have j
had a place in the news of the past j
few days. President Wilson pave his j
full endorsement of woman suffrage j
as an immediate issue in every j
State in an address before a delega- j
tion of 100 leaders of the New York j
State suffrage party who called at the j
White House last Thursday. Mr. Wil
son praised the spirit, capacity and
vision the American women have ^
shown in the war and told his visi- |
tors that the question of woman suf- |
frage should have our immediate con- I
sideration. Elections will be held on j
the woman suffrage question in New j
York and Ohio next week.
Next Wednesday is Educational
Day at the Johnston County Fair and
all the schools of the County are in
vited to be on hand and take part in
the school parade. The Turlington
Graded School will give Wednesday as
a holiday and it is hoped that every
one of th(> more than four hundred
children will be in line and enjoy the
day with the other school children of
the county.
Come and see<<he Aeroplane, some
thing which has never been exhibited
at the Johnston County Fair before.
It will fly' every day. Coming from
Tarboro on Wednesday, the first day
of the Fair, it will light in front of the
grand stand. Be sure to come and s.*e
this.
The exhibits frcm the farm will be
better this year than ever before.

Quick Work With Bloodhound*.
Last Sunday^ while Mr. Bud Dock
Johnson, who livcN on the Alb-rt No
ble place on the Smithfield and Seltna
road, was away from home with his
family some man went to his home
and tore down the well curb and broke
out several window lights and damag
ed his clock and otherwise mutilated
the dwelling. John Pilkinton was sus
pected of tli" crime but it seems no
one saw him do the damage. A mes
sage was seht Mr. L. B. Cockman,
deputy sheriff of Hoke County, and
he came yesterday with liis two blood
hounds, "Knoxcraft" and "Queen." He
left Raiford on a car at 8:30 and be

landed Pilkinton in j.iil. The dogs
trailed from the Noble house direct
