The gigantic task of the year is the winning of the war. Standing in the shadow of this task I have no stomach for stumping the State on the differences between a Democrat and a Republican. The son of the Republican and the son of the Demo crat are going over the top and will fall side by side in the great adven ture. Shall we snarl over petty offices while they die together in a common cause? The boys over there, our country, the civilization of the world, the des tiny of the race, all call to the men, women and children in North Caro ina to make one supreme effort to put forty-eight million dollars over the top and hurl it as a living thun derbolt against the foe. These forty eight million dolars will be worth more to the winning of the war and in the salvation of the State after the war than all the offices involved in the next election. Can we put it over? We can, but not with a divid ed mind. We can rise to the great ness and glory of the task, but we must be one in purpose, one in action, and one in love. To bicker is to fail, and to fail is to perish from the earth. I earnestly hope that this year all over North Carolina partisianship will be buried in patriotism, and just and wise ways will be found to give each party its fair proportion of the flices according to its present strength, that each party will then, select its strongest men, men who have shown the greatest willingness and the greatest capacity to work for the winning of the war, and then in stead of scrambling for office over the dead bodies of our sons, let's unite in a glorious joint campaign to roll up these forty-eight million dollars. This may not be politics but it is patriotism, it is statesmanship, it is ultimate salvation, for, after all, what will it profit a man if he be elected until we shall win the war? ? Gover nor Bickett to Goldsboro Red Cross Workers. Superintendent C. G. Credle, of the Carthage Graded Schools, reports that at the celebration of North Caro lina Day on Friday, February 8 ? as a result of the efforts of the superin tendent, teachers and pupils of the school ? $1,276 worth of War Savings Stamps and Certificates have been purchased by teachers and pupils. INSPECTOR MAKES TEST OF M ANTON E. In Making Report Perkins Says It Made Him (>ain Fifteen Pounds. Men and women in this section who are interested in the health giving work Mantone, the great non-alco holic nerve, blood and brain tonic recently offered here, will do well to get in touch with D. N. Perkins, well known resident of Selma, and Inspec tor for the Southern Railway. The report of his test of Mantone follows: "Why shouldn't I be glad to give my honest opinion of Mantone's work? It has not only put an end to my sufferings from indigestion and stomach trouble, but has increased my weight by fifteen pounds and has me feeling like a new man. "Before taking Mantone my bowels moved so freely that what I ate pass ed through my system without giving the required amount of nourishment. As this condition continued I natur ally lost a desire for eating.* This Mantone, however, worked on me like a charm and in short time had me in tip top shape. Besides gaining in weight my appetite is immense and 1 feel good all over. "No one better than myself knows what I went through or how grateful I am for the health gains and joys Mantone has brought me.
