Arnold Dead. Mr. A. W. Arnold, a native of Plymouth and well known to all our older citizens, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. H. Woolard, in Yeatesville. N. C., on Saturday last, in the 86th year of his age. Mr. Arnold leaves four child ren, Mesaers A. F , and J. J. Arnold and Mrs. T. L.Satter thwaite of Plymouth, and Mrs. C. H. Woolard of Yeateville, and many frienis to mourn his death, to all of whom we offer our deepest sympathies. Dates Corrected. The dates heretofore published in this paper and on bills sent out announcing the lectures of Dr. Jordan were eironeous as to Jays of month. These dates should be 7th and 8th instead of 6th and 7th. Stirs and Stripes Unfurled. A short patriotic service was held at the Plymouth Graded School -buildir g on Thursday af ternoon, March 28th, at which time the school rendered appro priate songs and Hun. Van B, Martin delivered a short, yet able address to the students and public. The occasion of this meet ing was the unfurling of the Stars and Stripes frunr a flag staff on the school yard, which had been purchased by the pat riotic students. We regret that so few of our town people, patrons of the school, were present to witness the impressive ceremonies' and to hear what Mr. Martin had to say about the flag and the school. Negro Patriotism. When the call to arms reached the drafted men of the negro race of Washington County, and the names of forty young men had been drawn to ltave for the training camp on April 1st, it was surprising to note the pat riotic spirit displayed by the men and women of the; race, especi ally in Plymouth Township. While sofje of the young men of the race had enlisted and are now in France, it was not gen era'iy known tha any special interest was being taken in the war by the race as a whole. ; It was Uriown that when the negro was called he would not ue found wanting, but Jike a loyal citizen would uphold the flag ihat gave hint liberty, but it comet to light that the fires of patriotism have been burning within them since the first call. Enthusiastic meet ings have been held in school houses a id in churches for some time. A Chapter of the American Rsd Cross had been' organized and real work has been going on. The race. is not in any way spar ing itself in the discharge of its obligations to the nation. Last .Friday night at New Chapel Baptist Church wan giv en a pjblie demonstration- in honor of the boys who go from Washington County, the like of which would do credit to any county or to any race. Under the leadership of Prof. YV VV: Walker, cf the colored Graded School, ably supported by the workers of the Red Cross, the pastors of the various churches and leading citizens of the race, a program was there rendered that would have been a credit to any county in the state.' The church A-aa fittingly decorated with bunting, flags and flowers ; appropriate songs were sung by trained singers; patriotic speech es were made by leading citizens; pathetic prayers were offered j for the success of che Allied Armies, and especially for the safety of the Washington County boys in camp and "over yonder." At th-j close of the program the Red Cross, which had taken an active part in the ceremonies, presented each of the drafted men with the soldiers best friend, a Comfort Bag, after which thev were given a royal banquet in the school building This demonstration reveals the fact that the negro is loyal to his country f d that thote who go to the front to fight ou- battles are going to be supported by the men and women at nome. It also reveals the fact that Prof. Wal ker is a leader of his race along patriotic lines, as well as educa tional. Though a cripple, having ta move about in a wheel chair, he has proven his ability as a teacher, a leader, a benefactor, and we must say, a blessing to his race and country, for no doubt his high ideals, his rever erence for truth and justice has been instilled in his race. Sunday night another demon stration was held at the Method ist Church, where a large and enthusiastic number gathered to do honor to the men who Were drafted. Strong speeches were made by the most influential citizens, and appropriate music was rendered by the choir. Like the meeting on Friday night,- it revealed the patriotism of the race. It was indeed an inspiring meeting. Monday afternoon a large num ber gathered at the trein to bid the boys good-bye and God speed, and it was here that the spirit of patriotism and loyalty to country and friend was dis played in a most touching way. One of the drafted boys failed to show up and he was about to be returned as a deserter when Be nard Smith stepped forward and asked the Exemption Board not to return his friend as a "slack, er," but to let him take the place of his friend and go to camp, to the front or to death if need be, to save his friend from punish ment. Smith was allowed" to take the place, but the absent man met the train somewhere before it reached Norfolk," took his place and Smith returned home on the next train. Tnis.was loyalty.
