MAYHAN SHERIFF AND I WILL APPOINT DEPUTIES WHO ARE COURTEOUS, FAIR AND IMPARTIAL IN THEIR DUTIES. Johnson And Manson Sue A. S. Batson For $5,250 Suit in which W. C. Manson and Charleston T. Johnson are asking $5,250 damages from A. Storey Bat. son, of Wilmington, and the Na tional Surety company of New York has been filed with Clerk of Superior Court T. A. Henderson.

There can be no life for America without freedom. We must have it or perish. Our present task is not only to retain our heritage of liberty but to be worthy of it as long as time lasts. That is why this nation is at war—to preserve to a free people their right to a free government. But the government of a free people cannot be main tained by armed forces alone. There must be complete cooperation by every agency of government, as well as by every private citizen. While the armies are battling on the field of honor the government must be functioning for their success. To do this best the government must be composed of men whose lives have been devoted to and whose talents have been developed in public service. In no line of endeavor is skill and experience so es sential to success. \ That is why Senator Josiah W. Bailey must be re elected. His experience is invaluable to the nation in this period of supreme testing. It is by retaining such men as his record proves him to be, in positions of trust and high responsibility, that our armed forces may definitely count on victory. We must have men in the senate who will mate no mistakes in judgment through lack of understanding the problems of legislation. Renominate Josiah W. Bailey in Saturday's primary election and have the satisfaction of knowing that North Carolina is doing its part for victory. VOTE FOR JOSIAH W. BAILEY i For Re-Election To The U. S.
