TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Last week we received letters from
Mill Spring, Recr Mountain, Sunny
View and Maple Grove, too late to
use. We have repeatedly requested
our correspondents if impossible to
mail their letters on Monday , to hold
them until the following week. If
mailed on Tuesday they do not reach
us until Wednesday night, and as we
go to press Thursday it is impossible
to make use of the letters that week,
and the newsin them is rather stale
by another week, so in the future we
will not accept them for publication
unless received on Monday or Tues
day,. It is impossible for us to do so.

mt day, and of the far reaching ertect
it would have the world over. Rev.
J. A. Langley, after taking the floor
said he thought it almost time for
dinner, and that he had just remarked
that it was about time to "shake a
chicken leg." Rev Langley, being a
young man, addressed his remarks
chiefly to that element of the crowd,
and was patiently listened to. Rev.
O'Neal was then called for by the
chairman who referred to him as be
ing from Rutherford . county. Rev.
O'Neal denied the charge, and claimed
Polk county as his county. He made
a splendid talk, and said that "Polk
county did it: that she broke the'Hin-
-denburg line; that she won the day at
Chateau Thiery; while she did not do
all of it, yet she did her part, and was
most assuredly there." His talk
aroused much interest and amusement
as welU Mr. W. T. Lindsey wa.s the
last talker and spoke of the necessity
of cooperation between the citizens of
all sections of Polk county; of the
War Savings yet in vogue; of the
forthcoming Polk County Fair, and
plead for every person in the county
to do their part. Mr. Copeland then
referred to the fact that there was a
large number of preachers present he
hoped sumcientchicken had been pre
pard to feed them on.
After the addresses had been made
the chairman called for donations ot
the monument fund, and several sub
scribed. It was hoped to have a full
report of all subscriptions to date,
but it will appear in our next issue
The responses were lioeral enough to

Editor POLK COUNTY NEWS.
Dear Editor:
The time is at hand when every
man woman and child is becoming in
terested m the upbuilding of Polk
county. The most important thing at
present, was discussed at the mass
meeting held at Columbus July
Fourth, the erecting of a monument
in honor of Polk county's heroes who
sleep beneath the sod somewhere in
France, and who paid the glorious
debt that liberty may forever survive,
and that all people may be free.
Dear people, let every one, old and
young, feel as if they are a stock
holder in erecting the monument of
honor to the brave young heroes who
rest thousands of miles, away from
home, and who won praise from all
the world, as true and freedom loving
r- i 11 i 1 v 1 jT
young men. so lei au get Deruna me
movement and make Polk county one
of the first counties in North Carolina
in erecting a memorial of honor to
her part in the world for democracy
" Bring ye all the donations to- the
treasurer, and by the first day of the
fair let us be able to have in Colum
bus a monument of honor that some
mother will be proud to pass by and
view the name of her dear one that
lies in Flander's Fields beneath
white crass, and see the mark of hon
or bestowed upon her hero.
Our slogan should be "Complete by
October Fair," so please let everyone
in dear old Polk feel that he's at lib
erty to donate whatever he feels he
can, for the cause of the last honor
we can bestow upon: the sleeping he
roes who gave for us his all.
Thanking you in advance fbr your
favor, I am,
Respectfully,
C. WILBUR McGINNIS.
