am with the administration and
working with the dominant par
ty, whose policy has already been
of the greatest benefit to the peo
ple, he is better able to get for
his people the things they desire,
than a representative tint is of
the opposite faith, and who will
oppose and hinder and block the
work of the Democratic parv,
thereby retarding Ihe policies in
augurated by Mr. Wilson. Mr.
Linney would .be a discordant
note in Congress. 'He . would jar
i
the harmonvYif the peaceful work
now going on. It is well to con
sider these things beforeyou vote
to make a change, however plau
sible the appeal to you for a
change may lie. Do not destroy
good works; do not vote to tear
down, but to build up, and gain
greater things. It will not bring
yon beneficial results to swap
horses in the stream, now that
the tide of Democracy is making
itself felt in this country in legis
lation that is bringing about re
al results that are a benefit to
the people and not to the politi
cians as heretofore, and which
are in evidence all over the land,
under the leadership of the mas
ter hand and mind in the White
House. We feel sure that you do
not wish to mar or impede the
generous impulses for the good
of the masses which now predom
inate in Congress by cutting out
one of your most useful, faithful
and able members, who is work
ing in harmony with great ideas,
and who will eventually accom
plish much, just for the sake of a
change, or, forsooth, because
something has or has not been
done according to your individ
ual notion. Think before y o u
net. Think on these things. Hold
fast to that which is good and
will do you service.
Mr. Doughton is a tower of
strength in the Congress of which
he is a member. He is a worker.
He Is known there among the
members, and will not have to
be introduced to his colleagues
as the new member from the
eighth North Carolina district,
and then spend several years in
"learning the ropes" before he
can be of service to his district.
He is already chairman of the
Committee on Expenditures in
the Department of Agriculture, a
member of the Roads Committee;
also a member of the Committee
on Education all very impor
tant committees on matters in
which our State is deeply inter
ested. Would you wantonly de
stroy this influence, which Mr.

In Memoriam.
On August, Kith, 1HH, the
Death Angel visited the home of
Mr. V. B. Culler, atZionville.and
took from him his dear wife, El
len Cullers.
She was the daughter of Mrs.
Elizabeth Leak, and lived to the
age of Mf years and 23 days. She
professed religion and joined the
Baptist church at the age of lo
years, and lived a quiet, humble,
hristian life the remainder of her
life. She was married to Mr. Cul
ler "at the age of lTj-ears, to
which union was born 10 chil
dren. She was loved' by all who
knew her, and leaves behind to
moum her loss a mother, hus
band, eight children, two sisters,
one brother and a host of friends.
Our deepest sympathy and
, . .i i .i
prayers go out to rue oereaei
ones. We have the great consola
tion that while we can never see
dear Ellon uaiu in this life but.
by the grace of God, we ean
meet her in the Great Beyond,
where have every re is;)n to
believe she is enjoying th9 reward
of the righteous.
Sad is the hour of parting here,
She will come no more,
Still we may hope to meet her"
Safe on the golden shore.
Sweetly she sleeps in Jesus,
Never to wake or weep;
I tear friends behold our loved one
Sleeps her last long sleep.
One who loved her,
Xaxmb E. Smith.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
f .
The tagig Saci Race.
(Hv Shi i-iii in f. Dr u )
la ait ail i V by Pn-i. l:..v M.
Brown, published in tin Watau
U.n U-inocrnt of Sept. 17th. ih.
author disclaims the oft iv-Mhil
assertion that the tp of tins
section are the purest Ansrlo
Saxon on eurth. He savs: "I
believe this old error has gum.
long enough iricha!lengvd "
I am not going to dispute the
gentleman's argument, but try
to throw more light mi the sub
ject.
The Angles, who came to Brit-
tain in the fifth centnrv, were so
called because thev had lived in
a land bounded by angles of the
North and Baltic Seas. It is now
covered by Schleswig, in Ger
many, which joins Denmark.
The Saxons came from a re
gion, a little furthur south, near
the mouth of the. Elbe, which
empties into the North Sea. .
When these two tribes came to
Brittain they were accompanied
by their kindred, the Jutes and
Frisians. The Jutes. were inhab
itants of Jutland, which is the
peninsula of Denmark; and the
Frisians were from the Frisian
Islands off the coast of Holland.
The Angles being the largest
tribe .the new country was called
Enghnid which meant, Land of
the Angles. Here the reader
must hold in mind that the Jutes
and Sweeds, leing sepern ted only
by a narrow channel, were of kin
and also that11 the country be-
tween the Rhine and the Elbe,
both of which empty into the
North Sea, is Old Saxony, and
that the language now spoken in
the high country between these
two rivers, is called "Old Saxon.
Now, -the fact that - a nams in
not English does not show tha t
the person having that name is
not of Anglo-Saxon blood. To
prove this, suppose a thorough
nglo-Saxon woman married a
Sweed. The children would be
half Anglo-Saxon, with a Sweed
name, f nen let a son ot this
family wed a pure Anglo Saxon
woman, and the children will be
three fourths Anglo-Saxon, and
still the Sweed name continues.
From this analogy, we see that
so far as a name is concerned, it
may be high German, Low Ger
man, Scotch, Irish, or still some
other name, and vet the person
bearing it can be of nearly pure
nglo-Saxon blood.
The reader w ill now take into
consideration the time that e
lapsed between the year 44V).
when the Angles and Saxons
crossed the channel into Brit
tain, and the year 1007 w hen the
first permanent English settle
ment was established in Ameri
ca. This was llo( years. During
this long period many deseend-
euts of the Anglo-Saxons, in Eng
land, crossed the channel t h e
contrary way to what their an
cestors had crossed it, to live in
Belgium, Holland and the coast.
countries further north, fro m
which their fore-fathers had come.
The Puritans who landed on
Plvmouth Rock were Anglo-Sax

: It must ! apparent
I most obtiix mind that the inill-
loiis oi ii ilia rs wliii ii have u-eii
spent annually in EurojN. by A-
merican tourists will stay in the
j I'nited State next year, and the
piestion naturally ntises as to
! where travelers who have
I'1',
I taste for blood-stained fields of
battle will send their leisure
; time and siirpluscnsh. Naturally
; the South stands forward with
1 the strongest claim along the
: line of scenic and climaticadvan
! tages. Rich in the possession of
! numerous resorts, and boasting
j natural leauties which even Eu
roe cannot surpass, the South
is the logical point for meri
cans who have not seen half the
wonders of their own country.
"See America First," is an old
and appealing slogan, and the
Citizen would suggest that "See
the South" should carry even
greater force when properly pre
sented. I'nder this head of course
would come Western North Car
olina, and we believe that a well
directed campaign at the hands
of the Western North C. Aseo
ciation and other bodies would
make the "See the South" slogan
heard and heeded throughout
the count rv.
These thoughts are not born
of idle visions. It stands to rea
son that the thousands of Amer
icans who have been accustomed
to travel in Euroiie will cast a
bont for substitute fields. As re
cently remarked in these col
umns, the apeal of America will
undoubtedly find ready response
even in the lands that are now
passing through the horrors of
war. The wealthy classes of Eu
rope must evenfiJaUy turn to a
land where warand itsattendant
disasters are unknown, and we
confidently look forward to the
when all lines of American life
will receive potent additions from
the ranks of European refugees.
But to return to our own peo
ple and our own section. The
South has never faced greater
opportunities than it faces to
day, and the results to be at
tained rest wholly with South
erners themselves. It goes with
out saying that other sections of
the country are fully alive to the
present situation, and the South
must be up and doing.
